WEBVTT - Answering Your Questions! 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:14.360 That's why I love joy sob and stirring on myself 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:21.040 that while you got of style at every mine and 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:29.400 y that's why tis a gun Lost by New Way 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.560 by Mountains. What's up, y'all? This is Granger Smith Granger 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.760 Smith Podcast, Episode nineteen, listening to that song again. That's 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.680 why I love Dirt Roads. I feel like that could 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.760 be a hit. Man. I'm proud of that song. And 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.320 this is going to be the year twenty twenty when 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.880 we find out if it is a hit or not. 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:57.000 And that, as I've learned, is determined by you, by 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:02.240 the fans. So you, guys, if you do love it, hey, 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.000 even if you just like it, if you think it's 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.520 mediocre and you just want to support the best thing 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.880 you could do to support that song and me and 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.160 my music and my band is to stream it, to 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.960 play it, to request it from your local radio station, 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:23.520 to tweet, our Instagram, our Facebook, sirius XM. When you 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.000 hear them play it, say man, I like that song. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.160 If you could watch it on YouTube, I'm not asking 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.080 for any kind of money investment. All you gotta do 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.120 is stream it on YouTube. If you like it, just 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.440 play it. The music video will be coming soon. Right now, 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.280 you could just watch the audio. We have a lyric 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.080 video coming soon, so all that stuff is coming twenty twenty. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.160 I'm excited about this. It's all fun to me. It's 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.240 like putting together a puzzle, you know, and you know 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.920 how you want the final puzzle to look. But you 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.880 have all these pieces and you're like, man, how could 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.440 I put these pieces together? And how could? And that 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.320 also makes me think that, you know, you got to 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.960 have someone helping you put it together with you, many 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.320 people in my case, helping me put together the puzzle 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.640 of what could be a hit song. It's a fun challenge. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.480 I'm at home today off tour. In fact that this 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.600 is the month of January. I don't know when you're 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.040 listening to this, but this is the month of January 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:30.519 when I'm recording it twenty twenty. That's such a crazy 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.560 thing to say, isn't it twenty twenty? It sounds like 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.760 at the future. I can't believe I've made it to 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.000 twenty twenty. I was talking to my son Lincoln, and 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.160 I said that if he lives long enough, God willing, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.400 we don't know what tomorrow brings, but if he lives 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.280 long enough, he will see the turn of the century 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.600 twenty one hundred. I believe he'll be eighty six. London 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.560 would be eighty eight, and that crazy to think. Twenty 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.519 one hundred, I will be long gone. I won't be 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.280 around for that unless I'm like one hundred and seven. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.600 I don't know, but that's a lot. I'm home. The 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.960 January is typically a slow touring month on purpose. I've 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.560 been going to the gym and people are like, you're 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.000 coming to the gym again. Usually you're gone. I'm like, no. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.000 January is typically pretty slow on purpose. There's not that 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.760 many festivals. The rodeos haven't started, fairs haven't started, and 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.040 it's a good time for all of us, me and 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.239 the band to kind of regroup. We are heading to 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.400 la next week. We're going to play the Staples Center 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.360 with Caine Brown and I don't know who else is 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.760 on that show, but that's going to be a lot 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.600 of fun. We've been looking forward to that when that 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:49.280 was rescheduled from I believe last October when Cain, his drummer, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.760 tragically died in a car accident, so they had to reschedule. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.520 Terrible news for that. We were all good friends. We 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.480 toured a Lot with Caine in twenty nineteen. After that 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.000 we'll be heading to Mexico with Luke Bryan for Crash 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.360 My Plaia, and that is it pretty much for touring. 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.840 We don't really start the tour until January thirty, first 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.080 we get back out there. I know Kansas City is 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.560 on that list, Saint Louis, Oklahoma City. That's about as 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.960 far as I can remember. I have some fun hunting 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.880 trips coming up this month. I have a trip I'm 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.040 going to take with the family to Idaho here in 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.720 a week or so, which I'm really excited about. I 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.920 haven't taken the family to Idaho with me to see 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:40.440 the Sawtooth Mountains. It's just unbelievable nature, unbelievable country, and 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.960 I'm really excited to get them out there. We're going 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.599 to stay at a friend's cabin and we are going 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.080 to film an episode of The Smiths or two while 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.720 we're there, just because I think it's going to be 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.520 a really fun adventure. My friend sent me a picture 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.440 from his living room of this cabin we're going to 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.000 be in. You could see elk walking through the woods 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.719 right outside the window. So I showed Lincoln in London. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.160 They're really excited. So that's me. That's my life right now, 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.440 and I like it. It's really slow, and I'm in 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:17.200 I'm sitting in my closet in my little studio, my studio, 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.000 I say studio. It's actually a bedroom that I converted 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:26.160 into a studio. And I've been doing this bedroom conversion 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.760 thing in many houses, in rent houses and apartments that 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.520 I've lived in over the last couple of decades. And 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.600 this is this is always where the magic happens, I guess. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.240 And I am in the We've lived in this house 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:48.400 now since July, so not that long, and and I 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.000 have everything set up ready to go. I've sang a 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.320 couple of songs. This is where I've seen all my 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.760 records in a closet just like this, and so all 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.240 the new album, the new stuff will be recorded right here, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.480 which you will hear new music from me this year 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.840 in twenty twenty. I'm excited about, very excited about, and 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.640 it will be recorded in this little closet. This is 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.520 the first podcast I've recorded in this little closet. Now. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.720 The cool thing about this episode nineteen is I'm not 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.560 going to continue on the story that I was on 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.360 in episode eighteen, I told you leading up to a 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.680 record deal and Backroad song, and I played you an 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.719 old recording when I first wrote Backroad Song with different lyrics, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.400 which is kind of vulnerable but fun to play for 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.400 the very first time to hear new lyrics, you know, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.800 actually old lyrics that are new to you. And I 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.400 have that with every song. But what's gonna make this 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.120 podcast different is I'm going to go to the Smiths, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.640 which is our YouTube channel. It's a family vlog channel. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.360 We've been recording most of twenty nineteen, will continue through 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.360 twenty twenty. We put out episodes on YouTube on our 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.640 channel every Tuesday and Thursday. And this is a family 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.679 blog channel. It's either me with the kids in Amber 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.880 at home, or it's Amber and the kids at home 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.000 versus me on the road, and we kind of have 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.440 that dynamic back and forth. So I'm going to go 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.240 to one of these episodes. It's called Answering Your Questions, 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.120 and I thought, hey, this could be a cool podcast. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.120 Everyone's always asking Amber and I have some questions, and 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.640 so I thought, you know, I'll take the audio from 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.200 that video and throw it on this podcast so that 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.400 those of you, those that are podcasters and not YouTubers. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.560 I know some of you are going to overlap, but 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.400 the ones that are just solely podcasters, you like to, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.960 you know, get in your car, your truck, drive down 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.560 the road, maybe you're on a road trip, maybe you're 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.080 going to work, maybe you're commuting, whatever you're doing, taking 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.160 the kids to school, whatever. You listen to podcasts and 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.240 you don't YouTube. So I'm gonna throw the audio on 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.240 this so that you could listen to these answers and 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.080 if you like it, maybe we could do more. We 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.680 could do more, and go ahead and go and go 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.920 to social media. Let me know what you think, hashtag 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.480 Granger Smith podcast. What do we need to do? Moving on? 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.320 And I'll follow your lead. So I'm going to go 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.720 now to this audio. This is from me and Amber. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:22.080 We're sitting on our porch answering questions that she asked 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.480 on her Instagram, which is Amber Emily Smith. She said, 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.440 ask me some questions, and this is us answering them. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.559 Love you guys. Here we go. All right, Hi, guys, 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.040 we're going to spend today answering questions. So we have 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.480 your questions. I asked you guys on Instagram a few 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.960 questions so let's just start with something Christmas Eve. It's 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:48.600 your favorite Christmas movie. Favorite Christmas movie is probably oh same, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.559 watch that again last night last night. Yeah, fell asleep 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.920 to it last night. Actually, sorry about the airplane. Every 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.960 time I start filming the Smith's an airplane pause over, 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.160 and I think that's river thinking about us. I had 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.360 somebody ask who is your target audience because they said that. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.960 They said them, their husband and their child all love 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.080 the Smiths, So who's our target demo? So looking at 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.400 the analytics behind the scenes of the YouTube app, looking 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:22.199 at the Smiths, it's like sixty five percent women, majority 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:28.720 are five, which is crazy because then my Granger Smith 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.920 YouTube has always been like eighty percent male. So I 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.920 think we're kind of I think that's probably how we're working. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.400 I'm probably working towards the male crowd, and she's probably 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.440 working towards the female crowd. And then for the kids. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.200 They obviously they won't see that in the analytics because 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.680 usually the parents put their ages in, but we hear 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.040 a lot of you kids like the Smiths too, so 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.720 kind of everybody, we're kind of go yeah ages. Something 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.280 actually I can announce now? Is it on tour in 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.800 twenty twenty, we're going to open meet and greets because 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.760 we do a paid meet and greet so that you 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.520 could be guaranteed to come backstage. So we're gonna in 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.439 twenty twenty. I don't even I told you, but we're 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.679 gonna make kids free, so kids could go to meet 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.679 and greet with an adult, but as many as many 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.400 kids as you want. So we're doing them all free 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.560 in twenty twenty. Okay, So that was another question, can 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.360 we meet you and Amber together at a meet and greet? 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.320 So Grangeer and I were just talking about this yesterday. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.520 It's hard for me to travel during the school year 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.959 with him a lot because I've got the kids and 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.280 we've got school during the summer, I try to get out, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.760 but we talked yesterday about maybe doing a meet and greet, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.400 me having a separate meet and greet, and we like 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.679 announced dates that I'll be on tour with him. And 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.480 then I was thinking we could just take donations for 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.440 the River Kelly Fund for that, because like Granger's meet 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:52.080 and greets are usually paid, but I don't. I would 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:53.959 rather just donate the money to the fund, I think, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:55.439 So that might be something that we're gonna do in 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.640 twenty twenty, we'll make say, we'll say, Okay, I'm going 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.880 to be at these five dates, get your tickets to 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.080 and then come see me, come see both of us. Yeah. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.840 This last West Coast tour we just did. Sorry about 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.760 the birds, Yeah, birds in their sorry, but this last 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.840 West Coast tour we just did. During the meet and greets, 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.199 I swear it was like every third person was like, 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.520 is Amber here on meet Amber? And I'm like, yeah, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.520 she's with the kids. It's difficult, but yeah, So what 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.199 we're gonna do is twenty twenty, she'll go on tour 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.320 with me some of the time, but whenever she does, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.480 we'll announce Amber's with me, Amber's gonna do a meet 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.240 and greet. And I gotta tell y'all the the reason 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:41.319 they're paid there's you know, I think the probably the 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.839 main reason is just to try to control it because 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.000 they can't just open it up to anyone. Well, and 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.760 he's still he's still having to meet. He's getting to 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.400 meet I should say, he's getting to meet all you 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.319 guys before the show, but sometimes that could be upwards 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.120 of two hundred people, and if it was all free, 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.520 he would never get on stage, So usually about fifty 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.760 to seventy five of those are already free because they're 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.959 coming through winners at the radio station, or friends of friends, 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.560 or somebody that some kind of disability or underprivileged situation 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.720 that we just meet them anyway. But yeah, so Amber's 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.719 gonna come in twenty twenty, well, and we'll announce when 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.480 she's coming. I need to come back out more too. Okay, 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.679 how do we keep the romance going? Since we've been 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.719 married for ten years, we probably have different answers. But 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.959 one of the ways for me, for sure is my 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:32.199 work schedule. I know through friends that sometimes there's a 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.560 tendency for one spouse to wish the other would slow 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.320 down and work and just stay there all the time. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.920 And from my experience, not our experience, but me seeing 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.080 other people, that seems to be kind of a drag 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.719 on a relationship is when you're just always together. So 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.760 because of her schedule and my work schedule, when we 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.280 are together, we make the most of it. And sometimes 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.600 when I'm gone, like I was just gone for ten days, 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.360 which is kind of a lot these days. Usually it's 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.640 like four or five. It was gone for ten days, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.720 and when I got home it was like a brand 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.840 new relationship. You know, it keeps it, It keeps it fresh, 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.760 It keeps it, it keeps us missing each other. You 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.400 need to miss each other, you need to like long 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.760 for each other. You can't. There's no way in my 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.319 mind to keep a relationship hot and heavy if you're 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.160 just with each other twenty four to seven or I 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:33.000 just that's in my opinion. Yeah, yep, I agree. Plus 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.480 he sends me you know here, or we leave each 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.120 other notes like if he goes on the road, I'll 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.719 stick something in his bag or I'll find one under 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.880 my pillow, or you know, sweet texts and things like that. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.400 But plus, like for me anyway, I just love him. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.120 So that's how that's how I keep it special since 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.559 we've been married. Okay, will we ever film a house tour? 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.400 I thought about that today because I see that a lot, 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:59.280 and it's okay. One reason is we still haven't totally 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.120 moved in. There's still I was just upstairs and there's 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.240 still like pictures that are leaning on the wall and not. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.240 But two, you know, when we bought this house, it 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.559 wasn't it wasn't a super proud moment. It wasn't like 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.599 you know a lot of YouTubers that are like, just 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.120 bought our dream house full tour. You know, it wasn't 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.640 a YouTube move for us, it you know, it was 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.360 it was at a necessity and needed. It was a 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.240 safe spot, it was a safe place to land. So 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.360 I don't think I ever looked at it as an 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.760 YouTube video opportunity to show off this house. In fact, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.960 I'm still trying to make it our home because when 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.640 we're in therapy a few weeks ago on a retreat, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.120 and one kind of one of the things we walked 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.160 away with after therapy was coming home and making this 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:57.040 house a home because you know, to be totally honest, 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.080 I find myself late at night on my phone and 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.400 looking at real estate apps. Seemed if I could find 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.240 something that's better suits me and her. But and that's 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.600 just the honest truth. Yeah, I mean, we could take 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.520 a camera through here and show you guys everything, but 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.680 it you know, and and we're proud and grateful to 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.880 be in this home. It's it's beautiful, and it's a 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.480 it's an amazing place to land. It is. It's not 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.200 it's not like our old home, which we made into 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.680 our home, and you know, we had all the kids' 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.400 memories there, and I don't know, Yeah, yeah, it was. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.120 We came from a ten acre farmhouse that I worked 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.680 to clear that land and cleared every cedar tree on 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.560 it with either my hands or a chainsaw or a 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.360 skid steer that I leased, and and then the boys 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.880 helped me and I planted the grass with you know, 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.320 seeds from my own hands. And then we came here 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:52.280 and it's three acres and there's really not much work 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.760 to even be done done here. So besides, I built 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.080 the fire pit. I just need to. I don't know's 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.160 it's a hard it's a hard situation. Yeah, I'm sure 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.040 you guys understand maybe something. Yep, our Granger and Lincoln 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.760 excited for Mandalorian and Star Wars movie. Yeah, So we 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.280 came home from tour. I landed at eight thirty am 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:22.040 on Sunday this past Sunday from Denver, Colorado. They picked 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.560 me up and we literally went straight to the movie 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.120 theater and saw Rise of Skywalker. Because Lincoln and I 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.920 have really bonded over the Star Wars series over the 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.280 last several months. Baseball and Star Wars have been like 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.120 our two major bonding things, and so we all went 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.560 as a family, and yeah, it was got little Star 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.880 Wars cups and yeah it was good. It was really fun, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:50.480 really fun. Love. Is there going to be new River merch? Yes, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.000 I'm working on the new River shirt. I was hoping 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.800 to have it out beginning of January. I still am 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.640 probably going to be pretty close to that. We just 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.080 had a lot of designs and I think I was 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.160 being really picky because I wanted to be perfect. But 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.080 I asked you guys on Instagram some of your favorites. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.320 So I think what we're gonna do is just every 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:06.639 few months we'll come out with a new one and 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.680 then that money will be donated to the River Kelly Fund. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.400 So yes, I'll have stickers and a new River shirt soon. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:17.480 How do we stay so fit? Do we diet? Okay? 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.200 I mean when it comes to being fit, this is 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.480 this is a something that I've had to learn over 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.320 a lot, you know, a lot of years. It's eighty 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.880 percent diet. You can go to the gym every day, 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:34.000 you could run, you could do pilates or yoga or 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.680 whatever you're into, but it's eighty percent when you eat. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.720 And so are we perfect at that? And no, no, 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.280 I just had lucky charms. No, we're not perfect at that, 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.960 but that's just if you want results, it's it's not 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:56.320 finding some crazy fashion trend diet, you know, it's you know, 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.240 whatever the latest diet is. There's I've read so many 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:04.520 studies on diets, dieting and fad dieting, and they all 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.760 have pretty much the exact same result. Whether you're talking 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:14.000 about keto or Paleo or Atkins ort, whatever's it all 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.480 has the same average result and it just depends on 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.720 if you stay with it. So it's more of trying 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.280 to find what fits your lifestyle, like what do you 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:28.960 enjoy eating that's also healthy that you could maintain for decades. Really, 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.600 I mean it's a balance. I mean we've been going 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.920 to the gym, trying to go every day, but some 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.520 days obviously I don't. I've got kids and sometimes they're sick, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.920 and sometimes I can't, and I try to eat healthy, 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.520 but I also enjoy cookies and wine, and we pick Sundays. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.400 We eat whatever we want on Sundays, So we typically 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.359 will do our dinner will be like a grilled chicken 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:55.000 and vegetables and you know, not a lot of bread 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.000 and not a dessert. And stuff like that, and nothing fried. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.080 And then on Sundays we'll get pizza and we'll go 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.879 get big, huge cheeseburgers and fries and and milkshakes and 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.400 so kind of opening that up on the seventh day 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.320 of the week allows me to be better on six 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.840 to six days before. Can we tell them about our 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:21.160 wedding day? Will we ever share a photo? That's interesting question. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:26.639 That means somebody's been searching. So when we got married, 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:32.200 it was February eleventh, twenty ten, and I wasn't a 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.600 very well known singer. You're more well known than I 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:40.840 was as an actor, I'm sure, but we just kind 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.600 of decided early on that that's going to be our day. Yeah, 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.320 And who knows if we had this smiss going that 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.879 back then, if that would have if we would have 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.760 put that on there, I don't know, but but we 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.960 always decided that that was gonna be our special day. 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.520 And listen, we didn't even have friends. It was really 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.440 very small. We got married at Horshoe Bay Resort. It 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.720 was we narrowed it down to fifty people, which was 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.760 just family. I mean even cousins couldn't come and got 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.960 upset and we just decided. It was just a very 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.920 intimate day for us. We were supposed to get married outside, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.600 but it ended up being freezing cold, so we got 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.200 moved in in the Texas hill country, central Texas. It 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.080 was raining, it was freezing rain, and we got moved 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.040 up up inside the building. So that was you know, 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.360 just lots of things went that technically could be called 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.400 went wrong happened, but it was all perfect. It was incredible. 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.840 It was incredible. It rained, The door got stuck when 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.439 I was walking out. I walked out with my dad 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.879 and my stepdad both on either side, and the door 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.000 got stuck. I forgot. Lots of other things happened, but 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.359 it was a perfect day and we just haven't We 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.840 haven't posted any photos or shared any photos. We also 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:53.359 tried to save a lot of money because we kind 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.400 of paid for it ourselves, and obviously our parents helped, 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.080 but we were trying to cut cut money out anyway 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.200 we could. I remember our cakes. Our cakes were like 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.879 this big. We skimmed on the cakes and I skimmed 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.840 on a videographer. We didn't have a videographer, so I 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.080 think it was filmed on somebody's cell phone, which I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.359 don't even know if I have that anymore. Yeah, so 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:18.359 we talked about maybe doing a ten year reading our 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.400 bowels and maybe filming that and making that a big deal. 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.040 But yeah, yeah, it was a small wedding and we 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.760 saved money and then we had a reception for all 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.000 of our friends like a week later. Yeah, you know, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.720 in Fort Worth, Texas, which is really fun. By the way. 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.840 On a side note, I'm looking out right now into 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:42.159 the woods and our cedar trees are pollinating right now, 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:46.280 and those of y'all that live around Juniper Mountain cedar, 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.040 it is crazy. They literally a tree will just go 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:56.159 and just explode pallen that looks like white smoke and 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.080 then it just dissipates into the woods. It's the weirdest. 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.119 It's like the trees are alive and they just go 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.800 and explode. If you haven't seen it, there's videos of 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.720 that on YouTube. It's crazy. Sorry, go ahead, Okay. Do 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:15.760 we ever feel guilty for having fun now and feel 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.520 like River should be here or do we ever? There 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.440 are times when if I'm laughing really hard with the 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.520 kids or we're all having fun, I do in my mind, 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.440 I'm like, oh my gosh, like I shouldn't be shouldn't 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.200 be laughing, you know, but you have to. You have 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.720 to enjoy life and you have to you have to 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.280 enjoy your kids, and you have to have fun. And 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.080 River would want that. And River is not thinking about 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:38.880 us right now. He's in the most amazing place. He's 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.960 not sitting there looking at us saying, oh, gosh, you know, 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.840 they're having fun without me. So I think it's natural 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:45.840 to do that. And it's it's natural. And all the 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.200
