We're here 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.800 with the Old Dominion. I'm Caroline Hobby, So this is 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.880 a herd of you guys, and I did some research 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.680 on how y'all got together. Did you say you never 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.959 heard of us. This is a herd of you guys. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:41.440 Definitely it could have, but definitely, So you guys got together. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.600 Who's the drummer? So you're like the glue for this, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.840 right apparently, because didn't you pick some of these guys 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.000 up in college? You picked one up in middle school? Well, 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.080 I mean I've known Madson's middle school, and I played 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.559 in bands with Jeff, in a band with Jeff in college, 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.279 and then we all so our band played with Brad's 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.280 man um, you know, and Matt was kind of playing 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.200 in the same scene, same circuit or whatever. You played 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.560 with us a few times, and so you know, we 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.840 were all very well acquainted before we got down here. Okay, 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.520 so did i'll come together? Where is it all just separate? 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.000 One by one? One by one? That was WIT's planned. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:32.840 Who came first first? You go build finished, it's safe 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:42.160 now a smoke signal out, smoke sickle And then you 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:48.720 guys meant Brad here right, Well, I had known from 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.080 college from college, right, and then you are the one 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.880 that was retrieved here when sent Matt here. Matt and 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.240 I met each other right away, so I was like 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.639 twelve and a half years so we've known each other 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.680 since then, and then I got to know the other guys. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.120 How long have I been Old Dominion? I mean we've 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.040 been playing together for probably like nine years or so. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.200 But I guess the name. We've gone through a couple 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.920 of names, but aren't band name is just the worst, 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.280 the worst. I don't know, we've probably been old like 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:31.800 functioning as Old Dominion for the Old Dominion is one 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.239 of those names that feels iconic, though, like when you 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.560 all came up with, well, we're an iconic. I know 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.640 when y'all came out with break Up with Him and 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.480 it was Old Dominion. I was like, I know, I've 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.840 heard of this band forever because y'all it's such a 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.840 strong name. So you landed on a good one. And 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.520 it has to do with Virginia roots, Is that right? 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:55.200 I mean almost change at one point, almost quite if 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.640 that's that trying huh. Yeah. I just didn't want to 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.040 go through it anymore. I was. I was angry. I 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.600 didn't want to do it, and I'm so glad we 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.120 didn't have to. But I mean it was like it 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.920 was so hard to find a name, you know, and 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.840 we knew we were trying to do something that was 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:14.680 Virginia related, but everything was taken. And then like we 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.080 were setting up at the Blue Bar one night and 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.839 and I said, man, the only thing I can find 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.440 it's not taking his old dominion and everybody the best 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.440 one probably out of all of them. So that was 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.279 the first night I said, wor old dominions so wide 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:36.360 named just wait approved with a good job. Good job. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.600 So you guys are all songwriters, Yeah, and that's kind 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.120 of how y'all got going. Yeah, we definitely uh have 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.479 been here for a while working on that. So I 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.760 mean that's what I moved here for, whichever moved here, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.160 Brad moved here for. And these guys didn't even move 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.599 here to do that, and now their songwriters happened. What 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.680 did you guys move here to do? Well? I moved 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.799 to try to do uh work, playing for the people recording. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:08.440 We're playing for the people, people playing people. Where can 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:15.200 I go to play for the people? For the people 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:20.000 people that's who I want to play to? Where are 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.440 the people I'm ready to playable for? Play for other people? 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.000 Like as a hired hired musician, I played bass one 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.760 other people, so someone else hits for other people because 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.880 I want to get to you all, but I wanna 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.000 start with how badass you guys are outside of the band. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.839 Y'all written for Kenny Blake, Shelton Dirk's is it, Luke 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.840 Bryant either have been band Perry. That's amazing. You've had 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.960 number ones with other people. That's kind of unheard of 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.120 a little bit. Yeah, you know, I mean, I think 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:54.640 it's just mostly because I think it seems bigger because 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.760 there's more than you know, we're a band and we're yeah, 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.000 we're a Gagle, so you know, but there are certain 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.400 the other artists out there that have written, you know, 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.560 for other people. It's just I guess it just the 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.320 list gets longer when you add you know, we're all 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.279 part of a unit, and so the list gets longer. 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.960 But you know, there's definitely people out there, you know, 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.039 that that are doing the same thing. We will, we will, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:22.039 we will gladly wear that badass badger. Yes, So break 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.680 Up with Him came out, big song and you're kind 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.920 of like talk rapping in it some of it, which 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.680 is awesome. Was that like just how it came to you. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.919 It was, you know, just we thought maybe we would 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:45.719 copy Sam Hunt. People ask that you guys are the originals. Like, 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.960 you know, we like what he's doing. Let's copy him, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.360 Let's do exactly what Sam does. No, I mean, it's 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.920 just what happened, you know. And we always whenever we're 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.640 writing a song, we just try to you know, we 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.799 just try to serve the song. And this was an idea. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.520 It was like a one sided phone conversation song. And 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:10.280 you don't sing on the phone, do not would? Yeah, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.160 slick is what would happen? I sing on the phone? 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:22.560 Is a guy? Where is Caterine? Is it a true story? No? Really, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:27.559 I mean yes, it wants to be a true story 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.640 all the time. Does somebody have like Allison etched out 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:50.440 on their arm? Actually just a random guess, so alsn't 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:55.600 clearly stuck around? Okay, so not a true story people. Really, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.360 we were just trying to make each other laugh right 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.600 writing that song. You know, it was really anything. I 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.320 don't even know why we got that idea. It was 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:11.000 just something funny, you know, But it seems to have effects. Definitely, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.240 Definitely it resonates. Yeah, we get people saying, you know, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:22.640 we're together because the song love connections. You're making love connections. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.480 That's the way that's great. Thank you for focus on 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.840 the flip to that. No, actually, if you're with the 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.000 wrong person, you should break up with them. Why would 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.800 you stay with someone you should be doing the interviews 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.000 from other people for us. You got this down. Thanks dog, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.360 You're welcome. Appreciate it than you. So you guys say 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.760 your album is Meet and Candy, which I like that 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.720 that draws your attention right away. I had a totally 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.079 different image of my mind until I write your bio 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.840 about what Meat and Candy could possibly mean. It could 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.640 be a lot of things, but what you guys are 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.000 applying it to mean is you started writing, like some 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.640 lighter songs, feel good, fun, but then you wanted to 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.199 get some Yeah, the album was kind of stacking up 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.960 with the candy songs. You know, there was a lot 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.040 of good sing along stuff, but we needed to have 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.000 the balance, We needed to get the meat there. So 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.880 somebody said, just called Meeting Candy. We were like, yeah, 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.080 I don't overthink. We we realized when trying to name 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.800 the band, once you get on one that works, you 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.440 don't say that's actually really true. So would you guys 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.760 consider snap Back, which is your new song, would you 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.920 consider that Meat candy or combo meal. That's definitely a combombo. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.600 I was thinking combo. I think it's a combo meal, 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.160 but it has a lot of candy on it. It 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.720 definitely has a lot of candy. But it's like, you know, 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.240 we have some songs that are definitely meat and some 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.880 that are definitely candy, and this one we felt like 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.200 it was a good bridge to the meat. So what 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.240 was break up was such a weird thing. This is 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:52.400 a bridge to meat, so that past, Yeah, take the 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.080 bridge to the meat. I think the bridge to the 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.880 meat is break up with him? Candy or meat. That's 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.920 that's candy, but this also has meat. There's a bigger 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.439 there's a bigger message. I think they all have a 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:11.920 little secret meat. Ye, it's got a mystery meat. If 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:22.120 we can't be old anymore, let's be so when you guys, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.640 we're making your record, which is another cool thing. Not 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.720 only are you all amazing musicians, you're writing all your stuff, 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.040 you're playing on your album. A lot of people don't 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.200 play on their albums too, They hire studio musicians. I 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.319 think that's like a rarity and that's also a unique 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.520 Well that ass badge, thank you, thank you, We we 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.160 definitely played on You know, it was important to us 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.920 to play on it because we are band and that's 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.120 a big part of you know, being a bandoned and 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.240 having a sound. We also brought in a keyboard player 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.480 and an acoustic guitar player too, just because you know, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.319 we also know our abilities to you in our limitations 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.880 and there's some things that that people can bring in 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.560 that we can't. But it was definitely important for us 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.280 to be on there. So yeah, can you start off 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.280 with the bank Canny Chesney fell short of him all 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.040 last year and now you're doing it again this year. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.000 So what is it like every year until ever and 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.760 ever until no more until the restraining order comes up? 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.600 Those they're a big love fest going on there.

Yeah, how to how 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.559 to entertain a stadium? How do you entertain a stadium? 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:46.400 You jump really high? Jumping is important?

I mean, he 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.760 has moments, have to build those moments in and and 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.000 that is also an art to figure out how to 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.839 build that moment and when it when it hits, you're like, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.280 it's it's impressive.

I mean, it's 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.040 like so many things have happened all year that like 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.240 every time something cool happens, we celebrate it and then 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.640 we just sort of move on to the next thing. So, yeah, 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.360 freaking out a little bit. But I think I'll freak 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.680 out if they call our name. I mean I thought 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.560 about it. I will. I'm like a little nervous that 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.040 I will freak the f out. What will that look 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.560 like for you? I don't know. Maybe that's I'm nervous. Like, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.160 where's the footage of him bailing on a skateboard? I 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.120 can show you exactly what it was. That's not like 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.480 freaking out like, but like you're trying to skateboard and 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.480 you froze mid skates. You'll see I need a story 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.640 the whole world. Is it going to show like on 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.199 an episode of Jackass or something? It's our video. Oh 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.280 you're new first at that. But I did see you 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.040 freak out standing next to a horse once, and I 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.679 wonder if it would be like that. That's what I mean. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.240 That was bad. Do you not like horses? Well? I 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.120 thought I was gonna be okay with it, but he 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.720 was behind me and his head was like right here, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.200 and I could I could hear him and feel and breathe. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:20.800 This is Jeff. Did you like it there? I mean, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.280 they got some big teeth, Like I just kept thinking, 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.280 he's going by my face and of course these sweet people. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.840 He's like, he's fine, he's the sweetest swords. He's not 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.840 gonna hurt you. And I'm like, I'm fine, I'm fine, 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.760 that's okay, I'm fine. Take the picture. So you know, 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.160 hopefully it won't be like that, would be like that. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.000 I hope if we get called I want you to 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.360 do all the time, just do that the whole time. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.240 It's fine, it's fine. Should spokesperson. Yeah, they call me 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.520 the great communic, great communicator. I can see that because 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.240 he could either he could either get up there and 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.800 freak out like that or he would get up to 0:14:53.800 --> 0:15:00.200 the mic and be like, um, weird, not not excited, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:08.280 and then everybody was standing. So speaking of like phobias 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:17.200 wanted being the band, I hope you guys went just 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:23.280 for the accepted speech. Speaking of phobias having phobias, of 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.920 you guys have sort of a new you know, over 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.080 the past few years, I've discovered that heights are harder 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.800 and harder for me. Really, I live for him, which 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.880 is tough. Because we're soaring to do, because we're going 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.920 straight to the top. You better, you better get comfortable 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.640 every day. Why are you up on heights? I don't know. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.720 It's just just like looking over a ledge, just like 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.880 even pretending to look over a ledge. Just now kind 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:52.280 of breaking out phobias. Anybody else, you'll have some. I 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.560 really don't like cramped spaces, tight spaces. So living on 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.040 a bus with five guys this is odd because I 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.000 love living in small all spaces, but I don't like 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.920 my shoulders really, Like if I have to go on 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:07.240 the cross space where you sleep every night on the bus, 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.600 there's ten ten ten, Okay, you don't mind that. I 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.840 don't mind that. But if I have to go into 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.040 cross space, you know, maybe it's spiders, because when I 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.240 think about it, it's when i'm crowing and I'm nervous 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:25.160 about you see why we want him? Why are you 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.200 in a cross space on a regular basis? Well, I'm 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.920 not because I'm afraid of the spiders in them. But 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.040 I feel like most people maybe go to cross space 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.040 maybe once or twice period. When you go to the 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:43.560 commercial okay, I want to lose. You're causing media training 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.040 for us right, No, No, it's okay. I want to actually, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:48.240 before I do this, I want to play one little 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:49.360 game with you, but I want to ask you one 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.960 more question. Ya are doing all these national TV shows 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.960 like coming Up, you've done something? You're doing them with 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.840 Today and Jimmy Kimmel. That's awesome, Okay, so exciting? When 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:07.159 are your doing that? What's that happening? Brad, it happens, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.640 It already happened. How was it? It was amazing? Yeah, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.800 that was one of those things that you think you're 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.560 going to freak out about, but they make it super 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.399 easy for you, and you know, it just kind of 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.200 there's this all this stuff that you have to do 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.840 leading up to it, and then just by the time 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.080 you play, it's just another thing that you had to 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.440 do and the realm small with no people watching. Really right, 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.560 did you all do the bar what we did? Yeah? 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:35.359 There was a proud troop. Do you guys drink occasional? Okay? 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:39.359 So that's nice. We're wasted right now, You're I couldn't 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:46.280 you even tell? That's how pro we are. We weren't, okay, 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.720 any pet Pete, I don't like literally I appreciate that, Brad. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:57.440 Spiders spiders. I just found out bad service. Okay, really 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.840 kind of bothers me. Here you at like a restaurant. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:07.520 I don't know what just about a restaurant? Man? Really 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:13.640 about you got another one? What? This guy? This guy? 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.159 I don't I can narrow that down a little bit. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.399 It's really when like you're trying to get service and 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.639 they're ignoring you, and all they have to do is 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.479 say I'm sorry, I'll be with you in one second. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.600 Then I can wait as long as as you need 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.040 me to. I hear you. But if you just ignore me, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:36.480 not cool. I got you. You guys, I like everything 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.080 seem like back you do, like you've been like nothing 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:46.919 ever bothers me. There's that guy. Okay, thank god you're 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:52.240 in the band. Okay, would you rather be a giant 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:58.480 rodent or a tiny elephant? Definitely giant rodent. It's not 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.359 three choices. I thought if you could be a giant, 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.520 or you could be you could be a very large 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.280 rat or a giant. Yeah, actually, what are we talking 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.240 like pocket? Let's talk about like a small chirt waball 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.200 size elephant. Oh yeah, that's pretty cool that you would yeah, 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.960 I think yeah, And if you would get you would 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.800 get met with a lot more adoration. People would be fun. Yeah, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.840 no one would really shoot at you, I don't think. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:31.800 But rat comes walking down? Does it just for you? Guys? 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.800 I thought you would really have a good answer, but 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.840 a giant wrote it. You could pretty much do anything 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.440 you wanted because every little regular just say, I'm talking 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.160 about like a car, small Nissan. Yeah, I mean you'd 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.800 be hunted. It would be a lonely existence. Yeah, it's true. Yes, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:50.240 you had a tail like a squirrel because the tails 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.520 that really ruins it because the rats basically rap. But 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.880 if it's a cute tail, that's true. But if it's 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.160 a giant, still a giant pushing tail, well let's talk 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.399 about We talked about how how small elephant would be, 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:08.560 but how she said, how scary scary even if it's 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.200 a squirrel. Yeah, you know how big a squirrels teeth 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:16.920 like like like that long. That's scary. That's okay, Yeah, 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:18.800 I think thank you for considering that. Okay. So I 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.280 like to end all of my episodes with leave your light, 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.960 Give me some inspiration? Oh what, leave your light? Give 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.440 me some inspiration? Like just what's inspired you or what 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:36.159 keeps you motivated? Or inspire somebody with your life what 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:43.040 you've learned, m M. You know, just don't stop if 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.840 you love it. We always say, like people always ask us, 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:51.119 you know about moving to town and like succeeding. You 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.920 just have to keep doing it. And if you love 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.720 it and it's followed in, it's in your heart and 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.359 it's moving you, and that is what's going to move 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.240 other people. So don't try to chase what other people 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.080 are are doing. If you just stick to your thing, 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.960 keep doing it, and eventually that is going to be 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.840 what's attractive to other people. If you want to attract 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.000 other people, that's what even you know, I'm not talking 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.440 about like fame or anything, just the right people around 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.280 you in your life. I think if you just stick 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:24.040 to your thing and do it with confidence, you're good. 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.959 I love that. You guys agree, Yes, I agree? Okay, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:34.159 the goggle of old dominion. Thank you, guys, thank you. 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.400 I hope you loved hearing from old dominion. I think 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.240 I would probably rather be a tiny elephant over a 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.840 giant rat myself. So now we have Drake White joining us, 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:49.959 get excited here he is, Hello, Drake White, what is up? 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.480 How are you doing today?

We 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:06.240 we it's cool because like I feel like three you've 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.159 you've gotten to know a lot of the people and 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.160 you've seen them and you've had steak dinners with them 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.200 and you've you know, all that good stuff. So it's 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.240 it's cool. It's cool to come in and shake some hands. 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.800 And it's basically like all of radio across the country 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:21.960 comes to one place. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty unreal because 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:23.919 it is at the end of the day, it is 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:29.240 a small community and the air waves are are we're 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.560 a spiritual thing for me growing up, Like listening to 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.200 the radio was a thing, Like it was constantly Hey 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.439 turned radio and turn this, you know, and I remember 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:40.000 the static. I remember everything about the radio. And so 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.840 to realize that it's it is this group of people, 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:46.320 this almost this family from all over the country and 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.760 how small it is is pretty unreal. It is and 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.120 you're a part of it. Yeah, how did you get 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.680 started to music? Because you kind of have like a revival, 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.679 Like your show is almost spiritual love that you are 0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:00.480 a revival and I feel like your show is an experience. Yeah. 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.840 When I've seen you play, it's like okay, which wants church? Yeah, 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.880 and it's that's exactly what it was. I grew up. 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.000 My grandfather was a preacher um in uh In Alabama 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.400 and rule Alabama. But he was a cool preacher. Not 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.760 not to say that all Alabama's aren't. He just he 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.280 was just a cool dude and he understood and he 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.040 helped people like he would you know, he was He 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.879 was an outdoorsman in a just he loved wildlife and 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.720 loved to be out on the land and he got people.
