There you go, hmm, So what 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.600 happened is we had Maddie Poppy in and we've never 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.400 tried to record two back to back real quick because 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.560 Klebly Hutchinson, who finished second on American Item, was here 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.120 in the room. They're dating and so they've been running 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.360 around together because I was like, hey, let what's pop 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.600 up into a Bobby cast. So we did it as 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.400 about a half hour and I go down and because 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.759 this show is done in my house, and walk downstairs 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:44.479 in the kitchen. Prepare me a little dinner, healthy portion size, 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.520 pretty perfect, have my water. Uh you know, I put 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.880 my my hydration tablets in there, and it's just I'm 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.840 about to embark on a nice meal. Mike de comes 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.920 down and goes, hey, dude, we lost the whole podcast, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.200 and so what do you mean? He goes, I don't know. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.080 Computer crashed, and so I sell a little distress in 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.720 your face there. So we lost the Caleb Bobby cast 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.080 forever every episode we've done. It finally happened. Now it's 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.600 pretty wrecked about it. So we had we had a 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.920 learning moment. There was I wish probably just record it 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.560 at the same time by two different things, so that 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.040 that happened last week. So there is no Caleb Bobby 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.400 cast and Caleb, if you're listening to this, sorry, buddy, Yeah, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.240 I feel bad. Yeah, we'll get another. Maddie Poppy finished first, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.600 Caleb finished second. His Bobby cast does not exist. You 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.040 haven't spent a little time with them in the past 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.639 few days, you know, since I did the show. They 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.280 come to my town and so I was like, hey, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.720 will you do some events? And I said sure. So 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.480 we did the Bobby cast and that was on me. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.959 Asked Maddie to come up here and do that, and 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.960 we're doing a thing tomorrow which is Sunday. I think 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.440 I have four total events with him. Um I you know, 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.480 it's funny to see how they change because when they 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.040 go into the show, those two specifically, when they go 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.960 into the show, neither of them really had the confidence 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.760 that they were gonna make it far on the show, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:07.680 much less have a real career in music. And so 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.840 what happens is what happened to them. I saw two 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.160 people that had absolutely no self esteem when it comes 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.919 to you know, do a music on a major level. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.120 Then you get in that bubble of American Idol where 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.960 you don't really have relationships outside of the show. So 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.880 you start to think that you're the most famous person 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.679 in the world. Slowly every week because all your reading 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.360 your socials and people loving you, and it goes from 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.040 one thousand to two thousand people loving you, and you're like, 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.680 I'm a big deal. Now, this is crazy. And then 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.480 it's back to the low of getting off the show 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.560 and you kind of have to start over again. And 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.880 so you know it's gonna be tough for them because 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.960 I was telling Caleb, and it's not here. You know, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.480 you have an advantage that you have some notoriety, but 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.520 when you come to town in Nashville, there's a bit 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.920 of a disadvantage because you're the person that came from 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:55.080 the singing show. And so especially because Idol or any 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.600 of the TV shows, it's been a tough run as 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.400 of late to have anyone followed through. Idle has been 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.760 better at the voice, like who's made up from the voice? 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.520 I can think of one person. I can name a 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.880 ton of idols, but from the Voice, that's a tough one, 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.720 like Cassidy's from the Voice. The only one I can 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.720 think of Daniel Bradberrys from the Voice. But you know, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.479 right now, you know they're at these crossroads points of 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.640 their career. Who else from the Voice, though, can you 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.640 even name? I'm looking at a list right now and 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.559 I don't even remember him. And you know why, because 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.560 that show is about the judges. It's really about the 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.839 relationships between Blake and Adam, which is why neither one 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.480 of those who ever leave. You'll see some seasons where 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.760 some of the judges go away for a while. You know, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.160 Christie there comes and goes, she's done now, I think 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:45.360 for sure, Miley comes and goes, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.560 like those chairs can change, Kelly Clarkson now. But the 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.840 Blake in the atom I don't believe has changed as 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.120 they've started, because that's what people watch for, and they 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.040 do research on these things, and so that show is 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.200 about the judges. I mean reckon Idol, although they do 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.120 have big judges and Simon cow is a big part 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.680 of that. Especially early. People watch to see what Simon 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.880 was gonna say about the contestants, not just to see 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.919 what Simon was going to say about his day. And 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.320 so with Idol, you know, it's been much more of 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.640 a performer based show. And I do think coming off 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.000 Idol you have a better shot than coming off Voice. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.200 But listen, you can get if you get any shot nowadays, 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.560 take it. Like for sure, I'd want to come off 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.159 one of the shows as a winner, better than nothing. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.120 But you know, they're gonna they're both gonna have to 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.159 move to town, and it's gonna be struggle, a struggle. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.359 It's gonna be tough, but it's tough for everyone. Like 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.400 you don't move to this town or any town where 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:42.480 there's any sense of create creativity, and it's just easy 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.920 if you have New York and you're on art, imagine 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.160 trying to break through. You can't. Everybody there is there 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.080 to do art, you know, l a music, acting. So 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.040 it's gonna be tough. But they're both good. Maddie's really good, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.680 like Maddie's special good. And so Maddy didn't know she 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.240 was that good, I don't think. And she came and 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.839 she played at our show at the Rhemen and she 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.760 got up and she did a rainbow connection and she's 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:09.920 saying it in the auditions, and then she performed with 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.880 Kermit on the finale. And for someone like Amy who 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.320 really didn't watch American Idol this season, she was sitting 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.000 right next to me when Maddy Poppy was playing and 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.680 she goes, oh my god, she's so good, and I 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.080 was like, yeah, she's really good. But if you heard 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.240 that last podcast, you also realized that MADD's just kind 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.760 of like doing her thing. She's like because she's like, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.320 I don't know, I'm gonna be in a format. It's 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:31.960 like cool, I love that, But you gotta realize if 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.040 you don't want to be in a format, then it's 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.159 gonna take a while for you to make some money, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.159 and you gotta eat. I'm not saying you have to 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.599 sell your soul, but a bit you have to put 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.280 down your roots and establish what you are so people 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.720 can find you. Meaning you don't have to say I'm 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.440 going to conform to a specific sound. But if you 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.640 go to you know, I Heart Radio, all Access or 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:01.359 Spotify or Apple Music and you type in country, you 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.479 know there are a lot of artists that are gonna 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.880 show up and that's how they get found. You know, 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:06.880 some of them may not be as country sounding as others, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.560 but they classify themselves in that category simply because they 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.480 know the audience is looking for that type of music. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:17.960 I mean, you can type in singer songwriter ish even 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.240 you can't because there played less, but again it's not 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.800 the same. And so you know, I'm Ruta firm and 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:26.920 I'm I'm as serious I can be. Want of tell 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.760 him my helping as much as I can. So they 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.760 came in. We lost that that podcast, which was very sad. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.960 More so for Mike. I was like, ah, if we 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.200 can't get it back, there's really nothing we can do. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.840 I mean, I tried every recovery program. I tried to 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.200 piece together these little bits. It didn't didn't work. In 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.800 the end, We'll just do another. He was, Okay, he'll 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.400 be better anyway in another year. So when he moves here. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.800 So as I sit here, it's Saturday at about four 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.280 thirty pm. You know, the cool thing about doing the 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.360 show on Saturdays, there's a lot of new music that 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.200 that comes out on Friday. So I wanted to share 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.160 three songs that you can stream or download. And I'll 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.440 go first Dirk's put out a record and his records 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.400 called The Mountain. That's when I play you part of 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.720 a song. This one's called My Religion from Dirk Spentley. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:22.360 Here you go, ain't gonna love? Been drinking that Colorado's 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:30.640 got me stone every time a close My's the angels 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:40.800 singing loving you and my decision loving you use my religion. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.199 There you go, that's my religion from Dirk spent Ley 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.679 on that he has a woman. Amen. He has a 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.880 song with brother's Osborne called Bernie Man his song Brandy Carlyle. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.440 And so I really liked the record. It's very much 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.360 more my type of sound than his last couple of records. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.120 And I enjoyed Riser, but I like this one the best, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.440 a little more singer songwriter re is. I just talk 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.160 about how do you find a thing? So that's there. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.800 I I sent Dirks a text and Darks is on 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.560 that list of probably seven to ten artists that I 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.640 consider close enough to reach out and said a real 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.400 personal note. And so I listened to his record a 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.480 couple of times. And you can't really listen to record 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.040 once and have a true feel of it. I don't 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.880 think so. Anyway, not from me. I heard a whole 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.640 lot of music, and I listened to the record probably 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.199 two and a half times, and after the second time, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:31.720 I picked the songs that I really liked to listen 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.200 to them back again, and I send him a message. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.880 And it was one of those texts that fill up 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.400 the whole screen, you know, you get you're like all up, 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.640 and it was just honest about some things. I mean 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.080 in a good way, and just tell him what I 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.840 liked about him, because he's very much a grinder and 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:52.240 he's just been at it and he's you know, put 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.360 out that bluegrass record which kind of set him back 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.400 a bit. He likes that he did, he's proud of 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.959 the record, but you know, in his trajectory inside of 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.360 country music, and heard him a bit, and so I 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.720 just told how much I appreciated what he did and 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.000 this was sonically my favorite album and specifically what I 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.439 meant about that. So it just wasn't like I was 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.320 texting on my favorite album that sent us a nice 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.120 note in you know, I'm trying to reach out and 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.280 be a little more human to people. And then I 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:21.000 see the dreaded misspelling of the word there. I know, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.240 I know, and so what I meant to spell th 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:31.120 h E I R like possession possessive form, and I didn't. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.559 I spelled it like they are like an what if 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.000 it were me reading it able to cancel it out 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.600 the whole message. I had been like, Oh, this can't 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.839 be a deep message because you're idiot, that's what I 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.200 want to tire so and but I did the star 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:43.960 and then corrected it before he could hit me back, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.520 Thank God. So I sent him that. And oddly, one 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.199 of the other people in the business that I've become 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.200 friends with outside of the business is Christian Bush, who 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.240 is half of sugar Land, and they put out a 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.120 record and this is called let Me Remind You Here 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.319 you go res definitely stendah you for God, let Me 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:29.440 Remindine it's time speaking on the stage snow down. So 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.040 I really liked the record too, and for a different reason, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.199 I guess I listened to because I know Christian I've 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.440 written with them before. I really listened to the song hooks. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.600 It's such a hooky record, that babe song. I think 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.440 it's the best song on the radio right now. It's 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.720 a radio song. I mean, it's so hooky. I turn 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.360 it off and I can't stop singing it now. I 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.800 don't go search for it to listen to. If I'm 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.000 in my bed, lighting my candle, working on the show. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.520 The next day, you're reading the internet. Like I wouldn't 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.760 say that Babe is personally my favorite song. But when 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.000 I go one of the best songs on the radio, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.200 I mean for the radio. I mean if I flipped 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.440 through the stations and there's a song on that song 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.520 right now, there's nothing on the radio now that's better 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.440 than Babe from sugar Land. It's abeat, it's very hooky, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.160 it's got a freaking Taylor Swift on it. I was 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.240 reading this whole article too about how wealthy Taylor was 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.600 when she was growing up, because you know her dad, 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.600 I believe, like third generation banker or something like that. Yeah, 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.440 and listen, you can come from whatever you want, and 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.640 there's an advantage of coming from money. But I've just 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.280 seen her work. She works, and you can hate her 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.319 because she grew up with privilege with money. But a 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.880 lot of kids are privileged don't work that hard because 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.199 they have privilege. Like there's a reason, Mike den I 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.640 hear right now, because we didn't have privilege. We had 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.320 to work this hard. You know, when I wrote about 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:46.800 it my new book, I said, hey, we all have 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.520 our our crap, you know, we all have our culture 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.520 that we've had to break out from. And I was 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.640 just reading this article bash and Taylor for growing up rich, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.640 and Okay, first of all, what does she have to 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.760 do with how she was born? She can't help it. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.360 She can't help that she grow ridge. And it's secondly, 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.880 a lot of kids they grow up Ridge are just 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.280 rich and they don't have some drive inside of them. 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.560 So that article irritated me a little bit that they 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.760 weren't hate non Taylor for that. And listen, I'm not 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.480 the biggest taylors With musical fan. I admire how hard 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.640 she works more than anything. But I felt like that 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.360 was kind of unfair. But my point is that sugar 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.880 Line album. I love, babe, I love the Sugarland record. 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.000 I think it's a I think it's really good, Yeah 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.079 I do. And then Kids See Ghosts came out, which 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:32.720 is Kanye kick Cutty. Which if you're just looking on 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.920 new music and you just see Kids See Ghosts, you're 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.080 really not gonna know who that is. And so I 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.280 wonder because they were public about they were doing a 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.480 project and what the name of it was, But I 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.600 didn't know it was called Kids See Ghost. I knew 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.240 Kanye kick Cutty were doing a record together. I had 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.960 seen Kids See Ghost. I guess thought it was a song. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.800 I had heard part of the of a song. I 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.640 don't know if the track called kids I don't think 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.120 the rest, but they they talk about it and maybe 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:00.680 track seven over and over again. But it's seven tracks, 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.320 and here's a song called Reborn. By the way, I 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.480 like this project better than I do Kanye, probably better 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:12.360 than better than or yeah, ye I do. I like 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.960 this project better than the Kanye project. Yeah, okay, here's 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:25.560 here's Kids, he Ghost, Rebus, I'm moving for Team and 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:37.640 stress on me. I'm moving teen, I'm so read. I 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.880 felt like Kanye raps better on this record than he 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.920 does his own. I felt like on his own he 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.200 was just letting go of a lot of nut he 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.520 thought he was having about the world, his life, himself, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.880 and this one it's very much more straight ahead Kanye, Like, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.080 if you like Kanye, this is the record for you. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.880 When Kanye raps like, there's a lot of kid cut 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.680 you right here in No Kanye but yeah, that's that's cut. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.760 But anyway, I like this reject better than I do 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.360 the Kanye. The Kanye on was all It's all over, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.480 it's kind of a it's nutty. Yeah, it's really grown 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.920 on me though I've listened to it probably six times. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:11.520 It's it. That's only seven songs. That's a good thing 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.240 about it. There are no waste songs. You know. You 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.840 and I were talking about how someone puts out record 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.600 of twelve songs. We listened to it once and we 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.320 eliminate songs so we can really get to what we like. 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.560 You don't really do this with the seven song record. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.120 You listen to all them multiple times and then if 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.920 you dislike them, it's easier. Um. But yeah, that those 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.640 are the three songs that I would recommend streaming there. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.240 We had a big week because it was c M 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.720 a week and we did a radio show at the Rheman, which, 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.440 if you're not in Nashville, it's where the opery started. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:44.000 It's the most historical stage in country music. Anybody that's 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.120 everybody's ever played there, even rock bands. I mean, if 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.920 you come to Nashville, that's really the place to play. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.200 And so we did a radio show at the Ryman, 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.840 and I was nervous because we don't do our show 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.200 out places. Well, we haven't done that in ten years, 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.240 I don't think. Can you think of the last time 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.720 we did a full show out somewhere. No, I can't 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.000 remember one. And you've been with the show in a 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.320 capacity or another for the last nine can you remember 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.160 another show where we just went and sat up into 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:14.800 the show? Not since I've been around. So for me, 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.680 I don't like to be out of our normal environment 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.720 because we don't act normally. Take us out of our 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:25.360 normal spot. We don't act normal. And really I thought 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.960 there'd be a lot of cases the squirrel by the 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.600 rest of the show. There are people walking around, there 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.600 are people in the seats, and I think we had 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.360 people wake up early and come and watch the show, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.440 And so I was nervous because we're all sitting at tables. Luckily, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.320 we had some live performances there so it wasn't just 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.640 us doing our stick up there and talking about stuff. 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:48.000 But uh, I thought it went really well, and so 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.000 for me, I was nervous about technically it not sounding 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.680 good about you know, we were having a plug in 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.800 instruments do level I mean it's just a whole thing 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.360 from a place warn you used to do it from. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.440 I thought that was good and I was happy that 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.160 a lot of listeners people got to come and watch 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.920 that show. So that was cool something we've never done before. 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:09.320 I don't know that I'm gonna do it anymore than 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.399 once a year, but for me to be able to 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.840 walk in because we did two hours of the show, 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.040 So we did the show, drove over, walked right on 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.080 the stage and continued the show for two hours and 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.040 nothing for nothing to break and could there to be 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.840 no disasters. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. There's 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.720 some cool clips up to Christiansen played both the the 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.080 folks in American Adot played, Cassie Ashton played, So we 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.399 did that. The City Hope softball game was this morning 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.120 and I went and played it, um this morning. Were 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.360 you you were there? It was hot, it was really hot. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.480 And here's the thing too, I I bet I still 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.280 feel like somewhat of an athlete. But if you don't practice, 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.359 your skills are dead. I think I swung a missed 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.600 three times a day, just straight up missed. And I 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.240 used to be a pretty good softball player when I 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.520 was young. I was a good baseball player, but um, 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:58.960 we ended up tied. At the end of the real game. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:00.920 We put an extra inning and then we ended up losing. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.960 But the Property Brothers were there, and they're pretty nice guys. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.359 I've got to know them a bit over the past 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.400 few years. I don't watch that show, so I don't 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.919 know them from that show. I know that people yell 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.359 at them, and so they must be a pretty big 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.639 deal at the level people scream their name. That's how 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.600 you can tell how big somebody is, how loud and 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.400 how shrieky people get about them, so they'll walk into 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.640 like draw. I'm like, Okay, they must be a really 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.000 big deal to some people. But they're both nice guys. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.400 And I told the one that was on the blue team, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.000 we're on the red team. He said, Hey, if I 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.359 had a home run, can I get a free back 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.920 yard makeover? Don't I don't know if it's those funny 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:41.560 or not. I thought it was pretty funny, But there 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.520 were nice guys out there today. There was a Canadian 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.880 country guy named Brett Kissel who played catcher, who's pretty 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:54.800 good athlete. There was the duo smith Field, who I 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.439 don't really know their music. I've heard one of their 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.520 songs on satellite a little bit. It's called Hey Whiske, 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:10.440 Hey whisk Who's this song that? So they were on 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.520 my team and one of them last name is smith 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.040 and the other's last name is Fielder. Fidler huh, Fidler, 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.920 Are you sure Fidler? Yeah, she said her jersey to Smithfield. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:28.920 It's not Fielder, fild Fielder huh, but it's smith Field, right, yeah, Fielder. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.399 Why wouldn't they so? Why would they name it? Not 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.520 her name? But you went to high school with her? 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.240 Would she recognize you if she was sitting in this 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:42.040 room because you never said anything to anybody, never said 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.240 anything to anybody, and probably look a lot different than 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.440 it in high school? Was she cool? Oh? Yeah, probably 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.920 m if not the most popular girl in school? Top three? 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.880 How big was your class? It was like three people? 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.879 Was he at your school? So they met after high school? 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.119 Was she a singer in school? Yeah, she's sang at 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.720 the talent show on it And was she a really 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.640 good singer in school? Like did they go, oh yeah, 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:15.840 that's yeast, Jennifer, Jennifer the whole Jennifer Feddler Fiedler, You 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.439 may look up that last name. I pounced it all 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.159
