We're I mean, I'm officially 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: on vacation. What does say today? Monday? It is Monday. 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: I was in Birmingham, Alabama. Today is it's our one 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: day off on the Dancing with the Stars tour. And 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: I was in my hotel room and I was like, 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: I do not feel like sitting in a hotel for 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight thirty hours when home is like two and 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: a half hours away. So I run into the car, 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: just drove home. And I've been so uto the weather, 22 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: mostly because I can't. I haven't been sleeping at all. 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean basically in four months I got Dancing with 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: the Stars and started doing all that, and it was 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: so physically demanding, and I think it just finally caught 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: up with me. And then I've been on this Dancing 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: When the Stars Live tour and um after I did idle. 28 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: So I've just been sick. So I came home with 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Land a bit. But that Dancing Starts Live tour has 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: been fun. I don't have to dance a lot, which 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: is awesome. What do you do that? What do you 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: do when you get out of here? So I do 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: a little dancing, but I purposefully said, hey, I would 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 1: like to dance as little as you can make me dance. 35 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I get dance anxiety now because I just think about 36 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: dancing on that show and how nervous and anxious I 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: would get. And I just don't like dancing like that anymore. 38 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: Like I think I'm a better dancer four and I've 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: always had decent rhythm, but you can tell if you 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: watch the show. I wasn't the best ballroom dancer, and 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: so I was like, hey, let me not do as 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: many dances and so I do I host, right, So 43 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: I host, and usually the host just goes out and says, 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: here's what's happening and then leaves. And I was like, 45 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: he says, I'm not dancing as much. I'm just gonna 46 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: go out and do some comedy. So I go a 47 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: hated like four different parts of the show, and the 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: shows an hour and forty minutes, and I just do 49 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: stand up related to Dancing with the Stars and it's 50 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. And they weren't expecting it, 51 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: and so um, I went out and rather than ask permission, 52 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: I thought I would go out and just ask for 53 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: forgiveness later. So I went out in the first you know, 54 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: you go at seconds what was written on my card 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: on the live show, and I was like, no, let's 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: just see what happens. So I go out and I 57 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: walked out and I tell three or four jokes and 58 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: the crowd was laughing pretty good, and then they danced, 59 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, no one told me not 60 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: to do that anymore. So I went and again did 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: more jokes and so yeah, it's good, and that the 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: tour is really good, like those guys are such good dancers, 63 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: and I don't want to run the tour. It's so good. 64 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: So if the show does come by the live show 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: and now you can afford because tickets are pretty steep. 66 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: I think they're like six year seventy bucks. Um go 67 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: to that would recommend you go to the show. You 68 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: posted that picture and they're like perfectly sculpted human beings. Yeah, 69 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: it's nutty. How in shape and and they're also in 70 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: shape because they've been in shape for so long, Like 71 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: I I think they work out. I don't know, but 72 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: they danced so much. I don't know. They have so 73 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: many muscles up top it's insane. Sane. Uh, And they're 74 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: they're really. Like I've always said about that show, I 75 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: was never really loving the dancing part of it. I 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: was always enjoying the people part of it. And I 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: was always enjoying also the sociology of it, like trying 78 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: to figure out how to win something by not being 79 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: the best at the exact thing you're doing. And like 80 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: most things in life, it's it's never about let's you 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: have a job as an account and you're trying to 82 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: get a promotion. It's never about really just being the 83 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: best account it it's about can you be a really 84 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: good account and also be uh nice to people and 85 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: be pleasant for your boss is to be around and 86 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: be somebody who's trustworthy and be like, it's never really 87 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: about what you think, it's about a big part of 88 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: it is. And for me on that dancing show, I 89 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: did get to be a better dancer, but to me, 90 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: it was about all the other things in sociology with 91 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: the human part of it and so uh that being said, 92 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the two things that I took away from that show 93 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: was that one the people on that show were great, 94 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: and I did that in that podcast you know what 95 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: you didn't know, the true untold story. And then too 96 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: for me it was I felt like if I could 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: want a dancing show, because I've always had aspirations to 98 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: be the governor of Arkansas, maybe be the president. One day, 99 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: I left that show going, oh, I can't for sure 100 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: do that, because I always wondered, because I've built a road, 101 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: I've built a highway. By the way, we're gonna go 102 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: back over all the ueer stuff. I don't need plan 103 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: to talk about this. I felt like I've built this road, 104 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: and I drive the car that I built down the 105 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: road that I built, and we have all of our 106 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: people that are all on the same highway with us, 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: they know what to expect. They know every day when 108 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: I come on the air, I come on the podcast, 109 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: or they read a book, what they're gonna get there. 110 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: They've kind of subscribed to me, and I've subscribed to them. 111 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: But I didn't know if you put me on a 112 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: highway that I didn't build, like Dancing with the Stars 113 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: because those people didn't know me, then if that would 114 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: still resonate. And it did, like like our message still resonated, 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: and so I felt like, man, I really can do this. 116 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: That show has inspired me to do you know, uh, 117 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: bigger things, you know. So I think I was talking 118 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: one of my friends who had been on the show 119 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: last night, and she was on the show and she 120 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: didn't win, but she didn't really well. And she was like, 121 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: you know, I just love to dance. I love to dance. 122 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: And she was like, do you love dance? Like no, 123 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: Like I don't. I don't. Actually I think I like 124 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: dancing less like the physical part of dancing. I think 125 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: I like it less than I did. And then she 126 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: was like, well, I don't feel like that you're taking 127 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: the show stairs. They said, oh, you're wrong. I took 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: something completely different away from that show than you did 129 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: to me. It was not about learning to dan. It 130 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: was about can you know what iron what we stand 131 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: for actually be shared with people that have no idea 132 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: who we are and they still embrace it. And it did. 133 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: It worked, And so I think she was irritated because 134 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: I won and she didn't win, and she really wanted 135 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: to win. I did too, but it wasn't about I 136 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: don't want to win because I was the best dancer. 137 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: She wanted to win because she was the best dancer. 138 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: So she's still irritated at me for winning. And that 139 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: was where the conversation. She was like, I just feel 140 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: like you're making light up and I was like, you're 141 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: out of your mind making light of it just because 142 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: I took something completely different away from it than you did. 143 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: I said, it changed my life. And it has nothing 144 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: to do with dance. I was talking to um Or Shot, 145 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: who won two or three seasons ago, and so, uh, 146 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: he's NFL running back and he went on and one 147 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars and he loves dance because he's up. 148 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: I think he's hosting a set of touring shows after 149 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm done loves Dance, has continued to dances, continue to learn, 150 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: and he's like, how have you continue your dancing? And 151 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I have it, and I'm not 152 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: like I was never good at it and I I 153 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: was only gonna get so much better. But it's just 154 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: funny how the people what people take away from it, 155 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: you know. And I've said before that always felt bad 156 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: for Sharna who And by the way, Sharnon, I've grown 157 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: much closer with humans since the show ended, because during 158 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: that show it was just bam bam, bam bam. You're 159 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: together all the time and you're trying to fit in 160 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: human time in between training time. But um I was 161 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: talking to uh him about how Sharna had to learn 162 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: to teach differently with me than any of her because 163 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: she had a bunch of athletes in a row, like 164 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: six I think six athletes in a row are five 165 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: athletes in a row, like professional athletes. And regardless of 166 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: you know how to dance or not, if you're a 167 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: professional athlete, you know how to use your body, you 168 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: know what works what doesn't work movements. So when she 169 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: got me was the first non athletic person she had 170 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: in a long time, and so I was like, yeah, 171 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: she hadn't learned because I'm here here at the piece 172 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: of paper and pin going three degrees, turned to the left, 173 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: four degrees, left knee, leftknee, and I was like, I 174 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: had to write it all down. And he was blown 175 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: away by that. But every is different, everybody learns different. 176 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: That was a big deal for me this last year. 177 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: I guess we could start with that for me, and 178 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: just because we came off of it, this is the 179 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: year end episode. Uh, the Dance with the Stars thing 180 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: was crazy for me. I really didn't know if I 181 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: was going on it. I knew that I had I've been. 182 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: So I started that year going out American Idol for 183 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: just a few episodes, and it was really just to 184 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: be honest, I was going on for one episode, I think, 185 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: and I went on and they paid me not nothing, 186 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: basically for free. I think I made a union, which 187 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: is the bare minimum that you can pay somebody that 188 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: you you can't have somebody work for you, which is 189 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: why we can't have interns on our show that are free, 190 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: because you can't legally have people work for you in 191 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: certain places and not compensate them with something. And so 192 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: I did American Idol. They pay me, and they pay 193 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: me the minimum, and I was okay with that because 194 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: I knew I could go on and hopefully do a 195 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: good job. They would ask me to come back, and 196 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: they did so I did the second episode. I got 197 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: paid minimum, and again it was never, never, never about 198 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: the money with that show. This is the first um, 199 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: because I don't want they're paying me now, um, And 200 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: so I go and then they asked me back. And 201 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: then even at the end when I was doing episodes, 202 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: they were paying me, but it was it was a 203 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: little bit more, but it was never anything substantial. But 204 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: I didn't need anything substantial to me, and that investment 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: was let me just get on the show and see 206 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: people like what I do and how I talk to 207 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: people and hopefully how I teach people and how I 208 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: interview people. And it was an investment. I probably lost 209 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: money going in American out all the first of the year, um, 210 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: But it's never about money with me. And so I 211 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: was just talking to a friend who's getting into hosting 212 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: and they were like, I have to lose money. I 213 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: was like, who cares, Like, go invest in yourself. Sometimes 214 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: it's about taking, you know, two full steps back to 215 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: be able to jump as hard as you can forward 216 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and so I do, I don't. It was a big 217 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: look for me, and that's whenever I signed this deal 218 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: with ABC. It was right after that, and so they 219 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: were like, wow, you're cool and I was like, I'm 220 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: not really that cool, I'm just different. And they were like, okay, 221 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: you're right, you're not that cool, but you are different. 222 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: And so so I signed this deal with ABC for 223 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: a whole network deal and they said, okay, we're uh, 224 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: we want you to come to do Miss America.

This is way or like right after Idol 227 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: last season um and then mentioned Dancing with Stars and 228 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it sounded to fun and theory 229 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: um and and I was like okay. So a couple 230 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: of months had gone by with this ABC deal because 231 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: it was a whole world that they want me to 232 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: like create shows for them too.

It's okay, great, 240 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: this is like Mayor June of last year. They said, Okay, 241 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: come to miss and Mayor Ka and then from and 242 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: then after that, Man, Dance of the Stars would be perfect. 243 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: And I've been mentioned before, but I didn't know, and 244 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: I was like, man, because I knew I had to 245 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: like Mike when you're not talk. We had to move 246 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: out there, and that was a big deal because we 247 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: had to move out to Los Angeles, and I travel 248 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: and do the show sometimes from other places if I 249 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: do theater events, but to actually move somewhere and lips 250 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: somewhere in a different time zone without the crew for 251 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: months at a time, Uh, to me, I didn't know 252 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: if that was fair. Uh. So we talked about it, 253 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: and I was right in the middle of negotiating, uh, 254 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: for me, the most fulfilling radio deal in my career, 255 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: which I signed a five year deal this year, and 256 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: it was it's everything that I ever imagined I could 257 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: do in radio. I've always had aspirations of doing like 258 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: a talk show on television. But I've always wanted to radio. 259 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever get out of radio, and 260 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: radio changes. Radio is gonna change. This is radio to 261 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: me right now. This is radio too, So I do 262 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: that idole. I put out a book, that second book, 263 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: and I was scared of death. That book was gonna bomb, 264 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: not because I wrote it any better or worse than 265 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: the first book, but because I thought, what if that 266 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: first book I was just lucky and I was like oh, 267 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: And I was so subconscious to put in that book 268 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: out and I was worried about myself. And I was like, oh, 269 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm a look at idiot. If it if people read it, 270 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: and and it did, it did well. It was the 271 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: best seller, and I'm one best seller and I was 272 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: like wow, right off the idle stuff and I was like, 273 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: it's really we're like cooking here. I signed a new 274 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: radio deal and Dancing with the Stars was coming up, 275 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: and it was like a week before the annalyce and 276 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: we had we were still going back and forth because 277 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to do the show. I decided in my 278 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: hard loner to the show, but because it overlapped Idol 279 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: for a big for like a month and I don't 280 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: wanted me to come on full time. And there's also 281 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: another show on another country music show that was on 282 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: a cable network. I believe it's it's over now, but 283 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: they wanted me to come on and host the show. 284 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: So for the first time in my life at all 285 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: these oftens. And there's another show on Fox with the 286 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: people singing the costumes that all those shows that come 287 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: at me and they were like, hey, we think you're 288 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: cool and out and I was like, oh, I've always 289 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: been the same, Like Idol is the one that gave 290 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: people the first look at me. I've I've i haven't 291 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: got any better or anything. The people that Idol just 292 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: took a chance on me first, so that all these 293 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: decisions to make, and so which is a fantastic place 294 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: to be. And so I'm stressing a bit because I've 295 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: never really had these opportunities and I'm going, Okay, I'm 296 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna do Dancing with the Stars, and I'm gonna tape 297 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Idol while I'm doing Dancing with the Stars. I didn't 298 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: know how hard Dancing with Stars would be, or I 299 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: didn't know that would be so bad, probably a combination 300 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: of the two. Because most people can juggle things while 301 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: they do that show. UM, so I'm like, okay, I'm 302 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: committed to Dancing with the Stars and I'm just gonna 303 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: do Idol in the last, you know, a few weeks 304 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: of Dancing with the Stars, or as I thought, after 305 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: I get kicked off, I'll go right to Idol, And 306 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: that's what ABC said to But when you can talk, 307 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: you go to Idol. Because nobody expected me to win. 308 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: Listen when the Vegas odds came out, I was last. 309 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't even like middle. I was last. And so 310 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: I go on Dancing with the Stars, as you guys know. 311 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: And it's not that I danced wonderfully the first episode, 312 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: but I got through it and I fell down and 313 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: I made an impact. I just wanted people. There were 314 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: thirteen people. I think. I just want people to know 315 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: who I was. Um. And every week as I worked 316 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: at getting better to be a dancer, I worked at 317 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: how can I connect with people? It could be happy 318 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: or sad. It's like a radio show, like how can 319 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: I Connect with people? Funny? It didn't matter. I just 320 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: wanted to be different. In my whole life, I've been different, 321 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: and I always felt like that was a bad thing. 322 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: Because everybody tell you how weird you are, how different 323 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: you are, how stupid you are. But finally, in the 324 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: last few years, I've really figured out that man being 325 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: different is and being unique is really where the worth is. 326 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: Because we're all different and unique. We just we see 327 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: everything cool, We're like, oh, we want to be like that, 328 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, we're one of a 329 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: million millions and nobody pays attention. And so I was like, 330 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: I wanna be gonna be different on this show. Um, 331 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: My poor partner had to figure out how to teach me. 332 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: I go to Dance with the Stars. There was a 333 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: point at Dancing with the Stars that I was supposed 334 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: to go do the American Idol auditions in the cities 335 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: we supposed to fly around in. All season, I've been 336 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: just killing myself relatively speaking, because I was doing the 337 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: radio show every day, I was flying around doing comedy dates. 338 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: I was training six, seven to sometimes thirteen hours a 339 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: day dancing because I was taking that show so seriously 340 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: and that I wanted to get as good as I 341 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: could for the competition part of it, not so much 342 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: to be a better dancing for the rest of my life, 343 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: but because I was in a competition, and so we're dancing, 344 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: and at one point they called and said, hey, ABC, 345 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: call and said, don't come to the Idle auditions because 346 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: you need to stay and keep you with Dancing with 347 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: the Start now that we're gonna take me off the 348 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: show where we're gonna there would two or three days 349 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: at a time. I couldn't train, and I couldn't afford 350 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: not to train even for one day. We never took 351 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: a day off during the show, and so I, um, okay, 352 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: I didn't really know what to think of that and 353 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: right now and I'm just speculating because they said don't 354 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: come to Idle and stay on Dancing with the Stars. Now, 355 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: my judge scores are always like sevens and eights, occasionally sixes. 356 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: I was like, man, either they know I'm going home 357 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: them this week, or I must be doing really well 358 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: in the voting and they can't have me be bad 359 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: on the show, like really bad and still survive. And 360 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: so it turns out, my what I think now is 361 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: we were doing and I think I have a pretty 362 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: good reason to think this, that Sharon and I were 363 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: doing so well in the voting that they were like, 364 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: you have a real chance to win this, you need 365 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: to stay and do this. So they took me off Idle. 366 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: So when they go to like Idaho and they're doing 367 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: all the Charleston wherever they are doing, I'm not there 368 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to be there in those episodes, but 369 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: they took me off those. But they still paid me 370 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: because I was under contract and I just gotta I 371 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: just got paychecks for all those A minute ago. I 372 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: looked at my bank account and I was like, huh, 373 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: what's this all for? Because I've only an Idol for 374 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: like week and a half at this point. And but yeah, 375 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: they still paid me for all those weeks because they 376 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: took me off of I didn't pull out, they took 377 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: me off the idol um. So I go to Dance 378 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: with Stars. We freaking win the show. Crazy. I'm just 379 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna quick recap of my year before I get to 380 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: do the stuff. It's crazy. Uh, Sharon and I win. 381 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: She hasn't won ever and she's been in the finals 382 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: so many times. I was like the second worst dude 383 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: dancer on the show, maybe the fifth overall worst day 384 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: because there were people that were worst dancers than me. 385 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't the second worst dancer I was the worst 386 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: in the finale. I was the worst after a while, 387 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: this controversy because good people kept getting kicked off. But 388 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: what people don't understand. People like, it's not a popularity contest. 389 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: Yes it is. Half of it's a freaking popularity contest. 390 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: And if anything, I think me and winning that show 391 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: and job getting late is great for the show because 392 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: I know people that they've asked to go on the 393 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: show before and they go, no way, because the only 394 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: people that can win that show are people that are 395 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: great dancers. So why would I go on that show 396 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: and embarrass myself. So now the people from dancing starts 397 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: to go. Look, Bobby one and Joe went to the 398 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: freaking semifinals, so come on, try hard, but you know, 399 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: really like put yourself out there and you have a 400 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: chance to go far. Um So as people keep going on, 401 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: the show got canceled because of Bobby. Know, the show 402 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: got cancel because I were doing three Dancing with the 403 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: Stars at the same time.

And what's cool is when 496 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: you can take someone out and be a fan of 497 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: them at the same time. So she was at opening 498 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: shows for me and I was just a massive fan. Uh. 499 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: There's a two part podcast with her on this too 500 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: if you search it back, and I think it's only 501 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: two parts because we were like forty five minutes into it. 502 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: We were like, well, we're gonna talk for a lot 503 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: more time, so let's just split it up, right. Is 504 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: that whether like she came back Jillian Jacqueline Sad Girls 505 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: at number ten, at number nine my top ten of 506 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the year, Scotty McCreary five more minutes. Now, why this 507 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: song not my favorite song? May I like the song, 508 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: but it's not like I'm picking this one of my 509 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: favorite songs. But what happened was is that Scotty had 510 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: sent me this song. He didn't have a record deal 511 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: and the song wasn't out, and it was one of 512 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: those that I was like, wow, that's really good. Let 513 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: me let my listeners decide. And so That's why I 514 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: say we it's it's such a numbers game with us. 515 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: And so I played this song and you couldn't even 516 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: download it yet, and I was like, yeah, like that. 517 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Everybodys are tweeting we like that. I'm like, all right, cool. 518 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: I remember getting Scotty on the phone and him going, 519 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: I'll put we'll put that online. And now I can't 520 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: remember this wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not it. 521 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: So they put it up, plays it, it propels and 522 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: you know whatever on the streaming and digital charts. Then 523 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: he gets a record deal because of it. Then it 524 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: goes number one. It's the first ever number one. I 525 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: have a plaquet here, yeah from and I don't keep 526 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: many plaques in here unless it's something super personal to me, 527 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: because they throw those things out like candy if you're 528 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: in the business. But because that was one of those 529 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: songs that it wasn't even out yet heard, it was like, dude, 530 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: you gotta get that out. I was also like, dudes, 531 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: a little too long and get a short a little 532 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: it was like four minutes and um, but I put 533 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: that number nine because good for Scotty, good dude. I 534 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: love the song. When I heard it, and we made 535 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: it it, we gave it legs and then it made 536 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: itself a hit. But that's why I put at number nine. 537 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: It was a good, good story for us and Scotty 538 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: and just like the good guy winning one Um and 539 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: Scotty and number eight Marion Morris, I could use a 540 00:24:51,600 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: love song. This song came out in but it hit 541 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: number one in January, and it was her first ever 542 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: freaking number one after she had just crushed it in 543 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: My Church should have been a number one and people 544 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: were like, it's no researching, and I'm like, you're idiot, 545 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: and so my Church wasn't number one, and then after 546 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: it was dropped, it was like the highest testing song, 547 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: you know. And with all these radio I think these 548 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: radio people driving me crazy, obviously, But good for Maren. 549 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: It was her first number one song. And I'm a 550 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: big fan of Maren as a person and as an artist, 551 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: and you know, I had no Marin for a while, 552 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: and I put that at number eight because it's not 553 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: my favorite song on that album and that Hero album, 554 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: but it was her first number one, and I think 555 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: it was a big deal for country music and for 556 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: her and for females and for just that whole thing. 557 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: So number eight merimors. I could use the love song 558 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: top ten of at number seven Lindsay l Criminal mostly 559 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: well all the way because it was written about me. 560 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: There you go, let me say, and it was her. 561 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: It was her first top twenties song for her, it 562 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: was the biggest deal. But and talk about that while 563 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: it was out, did I know? I kind of shut 564 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: it down because we ended up having to break up 565 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: because it was just too much stress and pressure on 566 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: her because I remember she got kicked out of a 567 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: radio studio of another company because she was dating me, 568 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: and so that was the beginning of the end of 569 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: our romantic relationship, which sucks because it was actually pretty good. 570 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: That's really good sometimes, but that song was learned about me, 571 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: and so number seven, Yeah, listening to the words, that's right, 572 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: it's all about me, like Kells, that's funny. I considered 573 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: not putting that in the list, but I felt like 574 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be honest because when I wrote these down, 575 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, when I put on this list, 576 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, that's a lot of that record. I was 577 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: heavily an influence of go back and read all those lyrics, 578 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: not all as well I'm scared of her next record. 579 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: Get the opposite number six David Lee Murphy. Everything's gonna 580 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: be all right, just because it's a gym and because 581 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: Davidie Murphy is old school and new school at the 582 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: same time. And there's a good Bobby cast with Davidlee Murphy. 583 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: I liked the guy a live. I didn't know him really, 584 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: I met him and he still wrote a bunch of 585 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: songs on Nashville.

And but the 595 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: first time I heard that song, I remember driving and 596 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: I was like, there's this guitar riff that goes and 597 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't have those things song, but 598 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: that's a jam and uh, I just loved it so much, 599 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: and it was good to see him.

I've kind of had to stop saying that 618 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: because it started to be the cool thing to say 619 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: once she won the CMA for Album of the Year 620 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: and had to be like when I was a Cubs. 621 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 1: I've been a Cubs fan my whole life, and when 622 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: they won the World Series, I had to stop saying 623 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: I was a Cubs fan because everybody became a kind 624 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: of fan all of a sudden, and I knew in 625 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: my heart I was a Cubs fan, so I didn't 626 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: even need to say it anymore like I was. I 627 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: am a true, die hard Cubs fan.

But I felt good 631 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: about it because I was a freaking Cubs fan from 632 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: the beginning. Same thing with I'm just a huge Casey 633 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: fan of all the like new newer artists in the 634 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: past twenty years, like Gartha Side, like Casey Musgrabs is 635 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: my favorite country artist. So yeah, slow Burn at number 636 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: four because that album was so good. Number three on 637 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: my Top ten Songs of the Year, The Middle from 638 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: Marion and z and all this just because holy crap, 639 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: this this was the jam of the year, possibly the biggest. 640 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't like a pop charts anymore, 641 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest song of the year. It wasn't even 642 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: if not from charts. The Target commercials had this song launched. 643 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: You know, people are like, oh that sun, Like yeah, 644 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: they put millions of dollars into it at the very, 645 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: very very beginning, and it was on every Target commercial 646 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: maybe during the Super Bowl, if I'm thinking, were the 647 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: premiered and so what a massive look for her. Like 648 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: I told you earlier, I liked mare in a whole 649 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: lot and this song just the jam. I remember her 650 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: playing in the middle of her set at the I 651 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: R Country Festival again. She played all her songs and 652 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: then she plays the middle the freaking place exploded, and 653 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: I think it was the first time she'd ever played 654 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: that herself, like as a Marion Morris song without the 655 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: other guys, Like she didn't go up with Z and 656 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: changed the who are the other news else on it? 657 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: The traveling will Berrys whoever it is? And I remember 658 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: because I was talking to her before she performed and 659 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: she was like, it's the first time I want to 660 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: play it, and I recorded it. I went back and 661 00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: talked to her after and I was like, oh, the 662 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: whole arena was athlete bonkers, because as an artist you 663 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: have these ears in and and it kind of cuts 664 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: off the sound to the outside, and you keep these 665 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: ears in so you can hear all the instruments playing. 666 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: Because if you're just playing in a loud arena, there's 667 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of instruments playing around you, you can't really 668 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: hear anything. So that's why they keep those ears in 669 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: their ears, those ear monitors. And I was like, oh, 670 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: the whole place erupted. And she didn't need me to 671 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: tell her, but we've had that conversation, and I wanted 672 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: to show the video. But yeah, that song was that. 673 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: That's just a jam. Number two my favorite Keith Urban song, 674 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: and this ang was never a single at radio. I 675 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: do believe it was just nominated for a Grammy though oddly, 676 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: uh it's Keith Urban parallel line no Babe, Babe. This 677 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: is from his Graffiti You album, which I really liked, 678 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: and it was one of the few times and I 679 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: have a pretty good personal relationship with Keith, always stuper friendly. 680 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: Was always a good relationship. But I remember, and I 681 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: don't listen to music early with artists, um, but I 682 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: remember I went over to Keith's house and and he 683 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: has a whole studio in his house and he was like, bo, 684 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: listen to this Cassie Ashtion has on the Cassi Ashtion 685 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: on the album, and then I don't know, I kind 686 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: of a like I really liked the record unfairly, maybe 687 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: because I get to hear some stuff earlier. I don 688 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: remember why I was even over there. It's about something else, 689 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: but anyway, that song is my favorite song from that record, 690 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: and I really liked the record, so I put it 691 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: at number two, and that song is a jam and 692 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: number one of my top ten songs of the year. 693 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Dan and Shay Tequila still just a com play game 694 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: changer for these guys who they just go, They grind 695 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: it out, they try all these different things. They get 696 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: there under a pre shaded in our format. But man, 697 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: what massive hit for them that song and meant to 698 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: be and meant me. It's probably a bigger song. I'm 699 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: not sure. I don't depending on what standards, but that's 700 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: my number one song, Tequila. But I just separated them, 701 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: and I was upset for them. They didn't win any 702 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: of the c m as. I didn't care which one 703 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: they won, because that's and listen, everybody who won the 704 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: cmas that they were up for was deserving of it. 705 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: I just thought they pulled at least one of the 706 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: three they were nominated for, but throughout for a couple 707 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: of Grammys too. But those are two dudes that Dan 708 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: and Shade. They're in like my class, meaning we started 709 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. I came and started to do 710 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: my thing right when they joined together and started their thing. 711 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: And I remember the first time that they had that 712 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: song twenty three You and Me or nineteen You and 713 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: DNA testing Kid, and I remember they just put it 714 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: out and I was playing it and not it was 715 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: really good for into them separately and not I used 716 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: to do digital for us, And I was like, man, 717 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: this guy sound like like the country Savage Garden. They 718 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: really could have took that the wrong way or the 719 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: way that most people would have taken it. And they did, 720 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: and they were like that's funny. And they came up 721 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: and they did Savage Garden. I knew I loved you 722 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: and it was and I was like, Okay, these guys 723 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: are down, like it was just being cool and the 724 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: joke doesn't always have to be they can actually be 725 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: like if the joke's on me, as long as I'm 726 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: in on the joke, I'm cool. Like make fun of 727 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: me all you want um And they were like, yeah, 728 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: make fun of us, let's come perform. I did, and 729 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: we became friends. And that's the game changer for them. 730 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: And that's my number one song of the year. Dani 731 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: Sha had tequila there. It is all for different reasons there, 732 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: but that was It's a big, big, cool year for 733 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: those guys. That song, I think kind of crossed over 734 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: a little bit some the other things that happened in eighteen. 735 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: There was the uh and you do you think back, 736 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: how big is this big? This thing was for like 737 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: a week and how stupid it is now? But it 738 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: was the Yanny or Laurel and everybody would hear different things. 739 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: So here's the clip, now, laure what do you hear 740 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: ny And I think every clip, I don't know. I 741 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: hear Yanny. Now what did I used to hear? Do 742 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: you know I think Yanny. He's like a different version 743 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: of it. Okay, I hear Yanny all every time. Yeah, 744 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: maybe the show all heard Laurel and they all yelled 745 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: at me because I was stupid, But I really hear Yanny, 746 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: and you hear you hear Yanny. But yeah, a lot 747 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: of marriages broke up because of that sad time. On June, 748 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: those those Thaie boys at soccer team, they went hiking 749 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: in a cave and they got trapped and that was 750 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: and then we all just watched on the news hoping 751 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: that they would they would get out of there, and 752 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: tie Navy steals end up freeing all of them and 753 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: their coach after eighteen days. And I remember it. They 754 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: were like the rain's coming, what do we do? And 755 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: the and like Tesla, it was like and it was 756 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: like man um so that happened. I think one of 757 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: the thin Navy stills died too, right like early on 758 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: in that like one person died, but it was one 759 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: of the rescuers. Rita Franklin died. In August. Yes, the 760 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: Royal wedding happened, in which I actually kind of cared about, 761 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: not because I care about the Royals, but because I 762 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: watched The Crown on Netflix and the Crown is true 763 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: true because I Wikipedia and Wikipedia is ninety percent true, 764 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: and so I got really into the Royal family because 765 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: I just felt like I was watching another episode of 766 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: the Crown on Netflix, and so it's interesting to me. 767 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: And then also the dude in the Royal Nous what's 768 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: the name, Harold pre Terry. He married someone that had 769 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: been married before, was an American and was by racial 770 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: which I think was all new to that, Like here 771 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: in the in the States or here talking you and I, 772 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: that's that's just a normal person. But to that to 773 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 1: the royal family, I think they have these crazy rules 774 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: where they all that SIVI isn't supposed to happen listen. 775 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just watched The Crown once on Netflix. 776 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: Thought it was good. It does a little boring at times, 777 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: but I still learned a lot. But yeah, that happened, 778 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: and um, Megan Markle and she was on I didn't 779 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: watch Suits. Watch That would be weird though, if I 780 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: would have been a big fan, because I could see 781 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: where fans of of that show would go, well, that's 782 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: weird with this character that I like, Like I think 783 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: about you know, if Maggie from The Walking Dead, you 784 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: know it was marrying a prince and it was I 785 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: would be like, that's the weirdest thing, that freaking zombie 786 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: killers marrying a prince. So the people that watched Suits 787 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: probably had to be weird that a little bit by 788 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: that A crazy thing was Bill Cosby just like what 789 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: an awful dude?

I saw The first time 821 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: I saw him was with a little Wayne who did 822 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: a show in Austin.

He died mm hmm. Oh. You know. 825 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: Because I'm looking at notes that freaking climbing raccoon, and 826 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: because it was like the climbing raccoon, I was like, 827 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: what does that even mean? In the summer of eighteen, 828 00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: a raccoon climbed this skyscraper in Minnesota and we watched 829 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: it or like is he gonna fall and when we 830 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: would track it was he gonna fall off and dies. 831 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: He's gonna make it. That freaking raccoon climbed at the top. 832 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: He climbed the entire skyscraper. How about that, the climbing 833 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: even thought about the climbing raccoon. George H. W. Bush 834 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: just passing in his funeral that's pretty recent. Um on 835 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: November twenty, he passed away. Uh, that's that's sad. You know, 836 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: I thought you about that, the thing that came from that, 837 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not sure how old he was. 838 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: Nine lived a long life, right, I hope to live 839 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: to be ninety four years old. But I can tell 840 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: you for me, what I found the best about after 841 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: he passed was that both sides red and blue, Democrat, 842 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: Republican hobody just kind of got along for a minute 843 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: because he was just a good dude, meaning he did 844 00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: he served in every capacity, and it was like, man, listen, 845 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know personally, I don't know. I got a 846 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: duty was every day. But to look at his credentials 847 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: as a public servant, he did it on all levels, 848 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: including serving in the freaking military and crashing up like 849 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,760 Speaker 1: and so you saw both sides go like that sucks, 850 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: and because it sucks for both sides, it kind of 851 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: felt like both sides kind of were together. And so 852 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: as sad as that was for people who knew him, 853 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: to me, I didn't know him, it was almost like 854 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air afterward. Even at the funeral, 855 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: you were sad, but in a way of like there 856 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: was like a real beauty too. President Obama, George his son, 857 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: President Bush's son, Hillary Clinton, all of them there together, 858 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: anybody screaming each other in a little boxes on TV. 859 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, rest in peace to him. Um. There was 860 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: speaking on you Gone day here and Pete David she 861 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: said what happened with them? Because he wrote on Instagram 862 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: and he was like the kill himself. And then I 863 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: see the machine gun Kelly Again, I don't even know 864 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: these people except for TMZ puts them up on my feed, 865 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: machine collized. The Rappers came after Eminem like flies in 866 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: against their boys, and then Pete davidsone on SNL like 867 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: three hours later. Yeah, but he only did the intro 868 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: to Miley Sires and that was it. But I guess 869 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: it was more of a hey, let's show people that 870 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: like we got him, we're under control, like he's surrounded 871 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: with good people. Right, m hm. That was I followed 872 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: that engagement a bit because why I think Pete pet 873 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: Davison's super funny. It's really funny. Didn't he get um 874 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: like clean, he got through like rehabbing it clean? Yeah, 875 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: but I think he started smoking again fairly recently. Well, 876 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: I think I started to like follow his story after 877 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: he got clean, and then like, here's a nerdy, funny 878 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: dude dating this super hot chick, and I'm like, all right, 879 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: I like this. So I started like and then all 880 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, all this stuff happens, like where they get 881 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: tattoos and engaged, and I mean, but now it just 882 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: seems like getting engaged. I was like first base now 883 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, alright, alright, but they get engaged. That's swipe left, 884 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: expect left or swipe right whatever. Um what else that 885 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: post Malone had It was up in an airplane, and 886 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: they were like, well, as tires exploded, we're not sure 887 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: if the plane's gonna end, and he might die, and 888 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: so we all, much like we watched the Raccoon, we 889 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: watched post Malone flying round up in the air and 890 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: so he was one of sixteen pastors on a private 891 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: jet and I mean, think about this for a second. 892 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: Upon takeoff, the tires blow out. So the whole time 893 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: you know that what's about to happen is dangerous. And 894 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: I was just like for then blow out, like right 895 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: before we land, so it's only like a minute. I 896 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: gotta worry. Like the whole time, they're worried that we 897 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: gotta get down. And so he was on his way 898 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: in England and performing a festival, and so I think 899 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: what they did is they burned off a bunch of 900 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: fuels flying around and flew around the whole time knowing 901 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: their tires were blown out. His manager was like posting 902 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: on into the story, is right. I guess I had 903 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: why find the plane? Come on, Um, there we go, 904 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: Thank you hit the wrong button. Lebron goes to the Lakers. 905 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: Roseanne bar tweets and they cancel freaking the biggest show 906 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: on TV. I sometimes smart people can be so dumb. 907 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: And I've done some really dumb things, not anything down 908 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: the same lines of that where people are like she's 909 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: tweeting racist things, um, which I thought she tweeted something racist. 910 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: I've done things like set off. Yeah, yes, and get 911 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: find a million dot like really dumb things. But just 912 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,479 Speaker 1: the scale of she had the biggest show on all TV. 913 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: It was doing I'm not sure what it was doing 914 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: at one point because I don't the numbers are are 915 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: so low now in general because there's so many options, 916 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: But it was doing like tens of millions of viewers 917 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: and gone just like that. You know, we learned from 918 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: those kids freaking we are racist and if you are, well, 919 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: you need some need some help, then if you take help, 920 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: then shut up. Um who knows. I don't even know. 921 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe that a massive show like that, 922 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: And good for them for pulling it, because I think 923 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: it's set a precedent to like, don't we don't have 924 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: any room for racism here. So that's that was a 925 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 1: big story though, and they pulled it quick. It was 926 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: like ABC, you know, they got pulled to an emergency meeting. 927 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: They sat around like what do we do? And you know, 928 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: I applied them for making a decision. I got no 929 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: room for racism in my heart, and I was like, 930 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,959 Speaker 1: well they just regardless of the reasons that they talked 931 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,439 Speaker 1: about in the room, I don't know what they talked 932 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: about in the room wasn't in the room. But good 933 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: for him for setting that precedent, like you want to 934 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: be a racist or if you want to be like, 935 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 1: we don't have room for you here. And you know 936 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: that goes for a lot of a lot of the issts. 937 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 1: We have no room for John McCain died. I saw 938 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: that that sucked. That was another one of those this 939 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 1: year where you get where people kind of came together 940 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: a bit. Most people came together. And again what he 941 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: spent more than five years as a pow and they 942 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: were gonna let him out earlier because he had some 943 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: privilege and he said, nope, not leaving, Alma, dudes leave, 944 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: So he stayed for five years. He said in the 945 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: pow camp. I mean that's a hero. That d is 946 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 1: straight hero. Anthony Bourdine died. Isn't it crazy though? Too? 947 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: Now how fast news stories can come and go and 948 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: it's like onto the next you had a double check it. 949 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: That happened this year. That happened so fast, even if 950 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: it's a big thing, it's like all right, there it 951 00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 1: is and like you go, huh, Like when anton A. 952 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 1: Boor Daine died, it was a big big, big, big deal. 953 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: Now it's not even really a thing unless you were 954 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: super close to him or really really watched the show. 955 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: The show is during another season. I think they're about 956 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: the show, so it'll kind of come back up. I 957 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: think a season he shot before he died. But um, 958 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,359 Speaker 1: it's crazy how many things happen and just move uh. 959 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: In country music, Keith every one entertainer of the Year, 960 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: which was crazy. Um. And again I speak from a 961 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: bias place because I really like Keiths, but there are 962 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: a lot of It's weird for me because I had 963 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: the luxury being friends or at least friendly with a 964 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: lot of these people, and so I think Staple Tom 965 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,320 Speaker 1: was up there, Al Dean was up there, Luke, Kenny 966 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: and Keith and Keith one and I don't think Keith 967 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: was expecting it. And so that was a really cool 968 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: moments at the c M. As Country Music carry Underwood's 969 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: face injury. We were the first show ever coming. We 970 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: were the first interview she did when she came back. 971 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: And I just think that was not because I'm some 972 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 1: stellar interviewer, which I am, by the way, don't get 973 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: me wrong, I'm the best. But I think it's that 974 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 1: she felt comfortable that I wasn't gonna take her somewhere 975 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: she didn't want to go and carry and I have 976 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 1: worked together and UM and even socially and even with 977 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: the American Idol we share people like agent people like 978 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: I just think that, Uh, there was a trust with that. 979 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: And she came in on the show and I know 980 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: that she was nervous about it, and it's up on 981 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: YouTube and and good for her because they listen. There 982 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: was some stuff that I didn't none of us knew, 983 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: but apparently it was so bad. She didn't know she'd 984 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: be able to sing against stitches like in her face, 985 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: and that's her tool for for work, Like she had 986 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: fifty stitches in her tool that she makes a living 987 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,919 Speaker 1: off of, which is singing. And so that was the deal. 988 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: Nashville was canceled. Uh, sugar Land got back as a band, 989 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,320 Speaker 1: which was cool for me because Christian Bush and Christian 990 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,840 Speaker 1: and I are UM. He's hafter sugar Land. Christian and 991 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 1: I are super close, UM, and we wrote some songs 992 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: together and they got back together. So I was happy 993 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: to see that. I think that's most of the year. Um, 994 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: here are the highest rated TV events of the year. 995 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 1: Are they all sports. Sports is the only thing that's 996 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 1: going to keep people going in at set times to 997 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: watch television. Myself included, meaning I watched network TV shows. 998 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: I really I don't watch them when they come on 999 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: and and listen. I'm not going on alone by saying 1000 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: this in anyway, because everyone sees it happening. But the 1001 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: live and maybe maybe not just sports, but live events 1002 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: are going to be really what keep people at networks 1003 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: or at appointment television times. Otherwise we're just gonna watch 1004 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: things want to watch them. There's no need to gather 1005 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: around the TV set. Who and again, who's watching TV 1006 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 1: on TV? All the time? I watched eight five percent. 1007 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 1: I consume probably eighty five of my visual media through 1008 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,879 Speaker 1: my laptop on my phone. The only thing I watch 1009 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: on TV is I'll turn it on if I'm going 1010 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: to sleep to watch Friends or if Competential is playing 1011 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: The Office over and over. I don't have to think 1012 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: about it. I just keep it on. I don't really 1013 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: watch TV anymore unless it's the Super Bowl number one, 1014 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: the World Series number two, the NBA Finals number three, 1015 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics number four, and the Stanley Cup Finals 1016 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 1: number five. You have to watch those because if you don't. 1017 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: One you wouldn't go back and watch it and replay anyway. 1018 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 1: And two it's such a big story that it's all 1019 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: out there on the internet. You can't get on the 1020 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: internet that's seeing the end of it. Um. But even 1021 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: some live shows, like I would say even like Dancing 1022 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 1: with the Stars, I'll give that as an example, because 1023 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm on there like that shows live and there's something 1024 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: to live shows. And that's gonna be what keeps, in 1025 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: my opinion, people watching network television because you're seeing these 1026 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: numbers go way down in and live consumption, because why 1027 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 1: would you unless you just happen, there's no point to 1028 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: ever go. Gotta get home back in the day, guy, 1029 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: get home, freaking full House is gonna be on, And 1030 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: if I'm not in my deal on the cow, I 1031 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,839 Speaker 1: don't get to see it. And it wasn't like anyone 1032 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: knew how to record on their VCR when they weren't there. 1033 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: The only way that we could figure out how to 1034 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,479 Speaker 1: record on the VCR was if you put the blank 1035 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: tape in push record play and then record it. And 1036 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: you were already there anyway. So yeah, there was no DVR. 1037 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: There wasn't even really a boot like DVR back in 1038 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: the day, unless you had a friend recorded for you 1039 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: Like that was DVR, someone who was smart enough to 1040 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: have a VCR and could put a blank tape in 1041 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: for you and record it and then get you the 1042 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: blank tape because you weren't putting a blank tape in 1043 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 1: with a timer on a BCR. I couldnt even walk 1044 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: the clock on a VCR, much less the timer. So, um, 1045 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: that's the that's the deal for for networks live shows, 1046 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: you know, even like American idolm on that. So I'll 1047 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 1: speak on that, those live shows where you vote, that 1048 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 1: would be something that keeps people watching the voice. What 1049 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,399 Speaker 1: else happening live now that you can watch and vote, 1050 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,839 Speaker 1: because if it then you fall off and you see 1051 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 1: it on the internet and you go, yeah, But anyway, Uh, 1052 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: there's that deal. But has been freaking crazy, man, for me, 1053 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: it's been crazy. I had a lot of a lot 1054 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: of new things happen, you know, career wise. I you know, 1055 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: I've often said that I'm so lucky to be so 1056 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: exhausted and man like, right now, I'm peat tired. It's 1057 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 1: almost happened to be open. Like I drove home for 1058 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: one day today just because I can lay on my bed. 1059 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm driving back to Birmingham in the morning to do 1060 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,399 Speaker 1: a show and then drive back from Birmingham tomorrow night. Um, 1061 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm so lucky to be so tired because I've worked 1062 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: so hard to have these opportunities and has been been 1063 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: nutty for me all around. I'm healthy, I mean I'm 1064 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: not healthy right the second, because I have this this 1065 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what I have.

I don't feel sorry 1079 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: for myself. Some years I'm feel sorry for myself, and 1080 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: then some of your I was just an idiot, Like 1081 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 1: when Wendy now were dating, I didn't go to her 1082 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: place for Christmas. I just was like, I don't want 1083 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 1: to go to Canada because what does that mean in 1084 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: my mayor right now, I gotta go spend family and 1085 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't like I have a TV in the bedroom 1086 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: and I don't sleep. I can't sleep it up TV. 1087 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 1: And then then and I freaked myself out. So I've 1088 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: either been an idiot or sorry for myself. Or this 1089 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 1: year it's like I put all my eggs into this 1090 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: basket and so I we're never a big fan of 1091 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 1: the holidays, but this year I'm actually pretty good because 1092 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a break from from everything.

I'm not flying anywhere else. I have time 1100 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: when I go to California to work, and I was like, oh, 1101 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: you're in l all the time.

As soon as 1103 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: I land, I drive to work, or I drive right 1104 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: to go to bed so I can work the next 1105 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: day and then I have my real job, which is 1106 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: the most important job to me. Twenty Team was also 1107 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: a year that I think my company was testing me 1108 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: a bit. We're like, okay, go and do your stuff, 1109 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 1: but if raidings go down while you're doing it, we're 1110 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna bust your balls. And even like Dancing with the Stars, 1111 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 1: and I think I even wonder, like what's gonna happen, 1112 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: but I think and this was the first year that 1113 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: actually brought someone into actually like look over things, and 1114 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: Mike was that guy, and it was just like, all right, 1115 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: let's end. The ratings went up, went far, significantly up, 1116 00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: So I appreciate that, and a lot of that was 1117 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 1: new audience coming in from the TV show. But also 1118 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: we kept the show a real priority. Um, even when 1119 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, we were out of our comfort zone and 1120 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: you had to take on a lot more this year. Yeah, 1121 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: we went hard man a lot more. A lot. I mean, 1122 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 1: there would be times in the car and Mike would 1123 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: be briefing me on things. I felt like the president 1124 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: going to me and he's like, Okay, here's what I've 1125 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: never worked more from the back of the car this year. Okay, 1126 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: happening all right? Al didn't had to have the baby, right, 1127 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,719 Speaker 1: and he's feeling pretty good about it, and I'm yeah. 1128 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 1: So when we would get there and I'd be in 1129 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,360 Speaker 1: the know, I'd be sweating and just disgusting, and the 1130 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,760 Speaker 1: show would have to deal with me being just so tired, 1131 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: and if I was so tired as of the loopy 1132 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 1: happy or just cranky. But we did it, man, we 1133 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: did it, and we're here, and um yeah, I'm A 1134 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: big takeaway from eighteen is that it's a jam packed 1135 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 1: year and I have learned that hopefully what we do, 1136 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 1: I can do on a bigger level and hopefully continue 1137 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,359 Speaker 1: to represent the people even better than that. I'll tell 1138 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 1: you that dancing show and I say that it wasn't 1139 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,839 Speaker 1: a dumb show to me, and it's not dumb show 1140 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: to them, but people that don't know about Dancing with 1141 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: the Stars just the dumb dancing show. But that dumb 1142 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 1: dancing show really shifted on the amount of like just 1143 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 1: the amount of good that I feel like I can 1144 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 1: do for other people, because I feel like people will 1145 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 1: listen if they can just be exposed. And I just 1146 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: want to keep a good message so people can hear it, 1147 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 1: and so like that's my goal. Show me that I 1148 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't have won that show. I did win the show, 1149 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 1: and you know what, I should have won the show 1150 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 1: because because I did, I should have won it based 1151 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 1: on past standards where just good dancers came in who 1152 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: cares um, and we broke the show in a way 1153 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 1: of they won't cast that show the same anymore, and 1154 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: I think more people will be a part of it. 1155 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, um, even with the American Idol, 1156 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: they brought me on because I wasn't famous and I 1157 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,880 Speaker 1: would talk to people like a normal human and on 1158 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars, I was a normal human. I 1159 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 1: think it's the year the normal human, That's right. I 1160 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,040 Speaker 1: think the normal human one one this year. So we 1161 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,279 Speaker 1: won one, folks, the normal human one one this ship. 1162 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: It was amazing. Chalk one up for the normal human 1163 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 1: the just okay looking uh, nothing too fancy about him 1164 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,240 Speaker 1: talking with an accent. Uh. Normal humans got one score 1165 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 1: ones for the little guy. All right, this has been 1166 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: twenty what's been your takeaway from your mind? You have 1167 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: something here.
