57
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: and his ex wife are going at it. Man. It's

58
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: getting dirty because they were married and divorced and married again,

59
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: and now she's saying that he stinks, and now they're

60
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: dropping personally from me. It's just the whole sour situation.

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: His ex claims that Phil was depressed, with drawn and

62
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: abusive due to a recent back surgery. He was abusing alcohol,

63
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: paint killers and a depressants, and he stunk and he smelled.

64
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: That's over the line. It's harsh. You gotta add the

65
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: smell thing. No truth to Florida Georgia Lamb breakup rumors.

66
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I never thought they were breaking up. I didn't think

67
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: they are pretty bus at each other. Though. You don't

68
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: unfollow someone on Instagram unless you're really mad. Otherwise you

69
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: just let it go and you don't only care that much.

70
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Morgan Wallen, Brian Kelly and more want tours to start

71
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: after seeing victory celebrations. Here's the thing that's the dumbest thing.

72
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: First of all, the people shouldn't be out cramming together.

73
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: But that also doesn't mean you should have shows. They're

74
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: both wrong, so you shouldn't have shows because one group

75
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: people are doing something dumb. You can't look at something

76
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: to go, well, they're doing something dumb. We want to

77
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: do something dumb. That's not how it works. They're doing

78
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: something dumb. Also, that's not a sanctioned thing. There's no

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: promoter underwriting it. Dealing with lawsuits, which not a bunch

80
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: of people walking out of their house and doing stuff

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: for that. So I to see Chase Rice sand stuff.

82
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: I like it. Don't be a dummy. It's not the

83
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: same thing, but they're both. We just want this to

84
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: go away. The best way to get it to go

85
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: away is to chill out for a bit. We don't

86
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: need to start having shows and make it worse. Right now.

87
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait for shows. I can't wait for Ticketmaster

88
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: to do that. Prove that you have had a test

89
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: or a vaccine, you can go to a show. It's

90
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Yeah, the whole Brian Kelly, Chase Rise,

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: even Morgan Waler. We're gonna have shows because they're together. No,

92
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: don't be a numb nut. They shouldn't be together, and

93
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have shows right now. But we're about to

94
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: get there. It's about to get close finally. American Idol

95
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: sets early debut on ABC February fourteenth. I'll be there.

96
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: I'll be on that show. I like that. It's a

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: good show. That show pays me money, very good show,

98
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: very good show. That shows my favorite show. That's it.

99
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: That's your music news, Thank you very much. We're gonna

100
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: talk about number one country songs with just one writer rare,

101
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: very rare, because I think back in the day that's

102
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: what people did. They just got a guitar, piano and

103
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: wrote a song. But in the Land to Nashville and

104
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: even in pop music now, it's such a everybody get together,

105
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: a cumulative effort to write a song because maybe somebody's

106
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: good at the melody, which is like da do du dudune,

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: what's that? I don't know that on no place? But

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: you don't have the words, but you just have the melody.

109
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Maybe then you have a great lyricst melody makers. Maybe

110
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: then you have to can make a track while you're

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: there on the fly. So a number one song with

112
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: one songwriters very much becoming a thing in the past.

113
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Back in the seventies, of number one songs had a

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: single song writ in the two thousand tents, only four

115
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: percent did. So far this year, no number one songs

116
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: have had one songwriter. Yeah, it's it's kind of uh like,

117
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: it's not recommended to songwriters really, Like, you know a

118
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: lot of people are just like and I think it

119
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: takes away from the confidence of a songwriter to like,

120
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: I bet a bunch of these songwriters today bones could

121
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: probably write number one hits, but the confidence isn't there

122
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: anymore because they're used to doing it with two other

123
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: people or three other people, or if I can throw

124
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: a different approach, they can write a song faster with

125
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: three people. And if you have three songs, the odds

126
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: of them catching are better than one. Sure, you're only

127
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: getting thirty of the pay, but the odds that it

128
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: goes number one anyway isn't good. So I don't know

129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: what what the reason is. It's just another way because

130
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Shane mcinni, I can write down,

131
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: sit down and write a number one song himself, but

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: he probably also is using all his ideas all the time,

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: and other people are bringing ideas in the room and

134
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: he's like, oh yeah, I can help with this a

135
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: lot too. So anyway, let's go to this. According to Billboard,

136
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: it's a thing of the past, but we're gonna look

137
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: at some of them. The last song written by just

138
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: one person to reach number one was Ed Sheeran's Perfect BB.

139
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: It reached number one in December. That's the last one.

140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: The last song written by a solitary female songwriter was

141
00:07:52,600 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Alicia Keys Fallen, and that's two thousand one. This her

142
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: first song too. That's why I kind of long start

143
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Max Dreams, which has been big for a long time,

144
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: but it's back popular again. It just hopped into the

145
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: charts again because of the TikTok video. It was written

146
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: by Stevie Nicks. Is that one person? Turn that out there?

147
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the biggest number one

148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: songs written by just one songwriter in each decade since

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: the fifties. In the nineteen fifties, Frankie Avalon's Venus, written

150
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: by him, spent five weeks at number one. Do you

151
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: know the song out here for Love by Have Two Men?

152
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: As long as fleet Cha the nineteen sixties, two hundred

153
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: and three singles reached number one of the sixties fifty

154

Speaker 1: the songs were written by just one songwriter. The longest

170
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: running number one of that decade was written by just

171
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: one writer, Debbie Boon's You Light Up My Life, written

172
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,319

00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the song, and it sounds very similar to the Debbi

182
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Bons song. I think you know, maybe it's just what

183
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: you grew up and you heard, because obviously I was

184
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: born close to this, but and also I love Lionel,

185
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560

248

00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: over ten years ago. They called a ten year town.

306
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I hit it right on the hill when they first

307
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: when I first moved here, they would they would tell

308
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: me that I heard that all the time, and uh,

309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, I thought i'd be I thought i'd be

310
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: the one different. Yeah, but yeah, definitely not. It's funny

311
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: because I met like, so, there's like a festival in

312
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: my hometown every year, and uh, Dustin Lynch opened for

313
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Justin Moore. This was in two thousand and twelve, So

314
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm two years into Nashville, still have nothing going on

315
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: at all. And Dustin really didn't mean he was probably

316
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, he probably didn't even have a hit yet.

317
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: He was opening for Justin Moore. I don't at my

318
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: hometown festival anyway. Maybe Cowboys and Angels, Yeah, it was

319
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: it was going up the chart maybe. And so I

320
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: walked up to him backstage and I was like, hey, man,

321
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: what's up did you get backstage? We're forgetting that. I

322
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: got to I got to play the f I got

323
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: to play at like one o'clock, okay, and Dustin and

324
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: Justin obviously played much later in the night, and so

325
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: I hung around just so I could potentially meet Justin

326
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: and Dustin. So Justin and Dustin. Uh. So I walked

327
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: up to Dustin and I was like, what's up, man,

328
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: big fan? Like how long you've been in Nashville? And

329
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: he was like, man, I've been there eight years. And

330
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, I've got to wait another

331
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: six years just even get out of the eight and

332
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: uh yeah. But man, I so I I was a

333
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: late bloomer with music. I played baseball. I had the

334
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to play baseball through junior college. I got recruited

335
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: to go play to school in Memphis called Creighton College, UM,

336
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: and I went two days in the semester. The coach

337
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: that recruited us all there UM called a meeting. He

338
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: was like, man, I got the job at PITT I'm

339
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: leaving tomorrow. Yeah I know. Yeah, And so we were

340
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: just like cool. Well, the guy that just recruited us

341
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: all to come to Memphis and come to school was leaving,

342
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: so they bring in another guy. I didn't necessarily get

343
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: along with the new guy, and I it just it.

344
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: It had already already felt like it was kind of

345
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: the end of the road in my baseball career. Anyway,

346
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: I was kind of playing, you know, I was I

347
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: should have quit. I should have just retired after junior college. Anyway,

348
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: long story short, that's when I picked the guitar up.

349
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Junior in college picked the guitar up. You know, I

350
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of started writing songs at the same time.

351
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: And uh, long story short, I left Creton College and

352
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: went down the Southern Myths to finish school. And uh,

353
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: I had a couple of roommates, one of them that's

354
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: spoken word poetry and one of them played pretty good guitar,

355
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: and uh so it's like the perfect combination. We started

356
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: writing songs and people started requesting these songs that you know,

357
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: parties and bonfires, and I was hooked. So twenty years older,

358
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: so is when you first picked up a guitar? Yep?

359
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: Had you been singing though? Prior? I have? I had always.

360
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: I was always a guy that sang like I would

361
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: walk around high school singing. Where did you do talent shows? No?

362
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: I never did that. I was so I was. I

363
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: was always so shy, like growing up for some reason,

364
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: like it took me until my early twenties to kind

365
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: of come out of my show. Like my buddies would

366
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: always be like man Jamison, Like we'd be, you know,

367
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: sitting at a party and have some country music on

368
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: on the speakers, whateverything, like you should hear Jamison sing,

369
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: And I'd always be just too chicken to sing like

370
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: in front of everybody. I was just shy. So it

371
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: took me a while to come out of my show.

372
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: But I'm still shy at this day. I mean I'm

373
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: still I still have some shyness to to get over.

374
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: But the guitar thing at twenty because you know, when

375
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: I was nineteen or twenty and I really wanted to

376
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: do stand up, I thought, and I was doing music,

377
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: but I was just writing only parody based stuff. And

378
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I can't make any

379
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: money using other people's music. So I went to a

380
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: pawn shop and I paid fifty bucks and I bought

381
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: a guitar. And I'm left handed, so I had to

382
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I didn't even buy a lett an a guitar. I

383
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: just switched the strings around on a nut and every

384
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: nut would bust because they're all built for different sized strings.

385
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: So I was buying this. I bought this guitar, but

386
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: I was learning to play it from a chord sheet.

387
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: I bought a Walmart so at, a pawn shot guitar

388
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: and a chord sheet from Walmart, and I was trying

389
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: to play these funny songs on stage. Weren't very funny.

390
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't very good. But that was my lessons into

391
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: learning how to play guitar was buying a prepared from

392
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Walmart and looking at it playing guitar. How did you learn?

393
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: Who was around to kind of help you out? So,

394
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: my my buddy at Southern Miss he he actually ended

395
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: up playing. He still plays baseball in the Major leagues.

396
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: He played for the Twins for like seven eight years.

397
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: His name is Brian doser Um. He's an All Star year. Anyway,

398
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: he was, Uh, he taught me how to play I

399
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: can remember him. Teach me how to play bar course,

400
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: teach me how to play night moves, um and stuff

401
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: like that. But I would get on YouTube. I'd get

402
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: on YouTube and look up, you know, here's a quarter

403
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: cover song acoustic and you know what I mean, just

404
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: how everybody does it? So yeah, I did that. It

405
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: was funny. I was home this weekend and when I

406
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: got the news that it was number one, and I'm, uh,

407
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: there's a farm across the road that with me and

408
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: my dad have been able to hunt for forever. And uh,

409
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: I was with him and I was like, man, why

410
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: did you let me go to Nashville? Like I was

411
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: so bad back then? Like how did you? I was

412
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: like listening to stuff back ten years ago. Obviously everybody

413
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: starts out there terrible, but I was bad, Like now,

414
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. I wish I had. I probably have

415
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: a cliff on my phone. It's like it's just night

416
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: and day. How how how much I've grown? And so

417
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: I was like, man, why did you Why did you

418
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: support me doing this? And he was like, man, I

419
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: just had you know. I just believe. I knew you

420
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: had it in you. Man, I believe. And it's it's

421
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, man, pretty crazy. You know, we have the

422
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: same management team as far as um, we worked the

423
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: same company. My guy My guys are are Tom Lord

424
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: and Tom Betchy, like my direct management, and they have

425
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: been really high on you for a long time. But

426
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: but what happens with me is when my my direct

427
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: management is going, hey, this guy's gotta go. I can't

428
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: even to do with it. Then you just gotta be

429
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: quiet because once you're telling me, I feel like I'm

430
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm polluted now yea. And so I know they

431
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,239
Speaker 1: had both reached out, um that your number one week,

432
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: and they're like, we think we got it. We think

433
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: we got we got Aldine beat because Aldine had number

434
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: one the week before, Like, we think we got Aldine beat.

435
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: And once once he's got his number one, you can

436
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: like him. And I was like, all right, I'm in.

437
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: But but you know, last on the last episode, we

438
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: had Tom lord On talking about how vital it is

439
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: for management when you come to town. How long until

440
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: you get somebody to think you're good enough to represent you?

441
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: For me, it was six years. Wow, that that's a

442
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: long time for someone who ends up making it on

443
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: a high level. Yeah. Yeah, So I mean, I I

444
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: mean the first four years I was in town, you know,

445
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a publishing deal. I was just

446
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: working at FedEx Or and Dick Sporting Goods and driving

447
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: back to Mississippi and playing acoustic shows on on the

448
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: weekends and just being poor and writing songs with whoever

449
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: would write songs with me. And so when I finally

450
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: got a publishing deal, that kind of got me. I

451
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: call it the cool crowd. I guess that's what you mean.

452
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting a circle gets you gotta get

453
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: in the circle to even have anything going on. And

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: so that that kind of kick started everything for me.

455
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: And then I got a book and deal. Put an

456
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: ep ou, I got a book and deal, um ci

457
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: A and then yeah, management, do you feel like you

458
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: significantly got better or it just took you long enough

459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: to meet folks who could make you, who could put

460
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: you in a better situation. Probably a combination of both.

461
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I had written I don't know five songs

462
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: when I moved to Nashville, maybe ten songs. I was

463
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: a late bloomer, and so it took me, I mean

464
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: at least four or five years to even figure out.

465
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say how to write a great song,

466
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: because I don't. I still don't even know if I

467
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: can do that now, but I learned how to not

468
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: make a song suck, if that makes sense. Um, And

469
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: just being around so many other amazing writers. I mean,

470
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: it's the best songwriters in the world here in Nashville.

471
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: And so when you go in the room with him

472
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: every single day, you're gonna learn something new every day.

473
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: And so you're a FedEx or you're at Dick Sporting Goods.

474
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: You ever run into any I'm sure you've run into two.

475
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: Maybe some singers in town you see them, or somebody

476
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: works at the label. Maybe you didn't know who it

477
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: was at first, But did you ever try? And I

478
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: asked this, I'll give you the story. First. My one

479
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: of my neighbors found out where I live and it's

480
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of hard to find me here. Yeah, I got

481
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: walls around and I've had enough situations where now I'm protected.

482
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: But I made a video. I just got engaged and

483
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: she recognized my backyard in the video and she came

484
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: over and I have a security thing at the gate

485
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: and she goes what she rings and I'm like that,

486
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: so I'll pull it up and it's she's not in

487
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: the car. She's on foot. She's looking right in the

488
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: camera going hey, And I was like, what the there's

489
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: no car? She was can I I have something for Bobby?

490
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, what like? Because no, I don't know.

491
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know all I know is there's a lady

492
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: on my on my phone because that's where of my

493
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: one of my gate islands. So I'm like uh, and

494
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm acting like I'm not me. I'm like, well, Bobby's

495
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: not here right now. It's so obvious it's me because

496
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: I have the the the least distinct voice ever that

497
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: you know it's me. And she's like, well, I have something.

498
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave him in. Caitlin was my fiance now,

499
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, why don't you just leave it

500
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: by the gut. She was I'm gonna put in the mailbox.

501
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I said, okay, So she puts in the mailbox. I'm leaving.

502
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: I text Caitlin, I say, hey, there's some lady that

503
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: just put something in the mailbox. I'd give it five

504
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: minutes so she can walk away, but head over. So

505
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Caitlin goes over, pulls it out and there's it's like

506
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: a two page letter. By the way, I'm not totally hating.

507
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: Once you get into the story, it's like this two

508
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: page letter. And there was a CD that she put

509
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: in there of some bald guy with a huge mustache,

510
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: and she was like, this is his music. Wow. So

511
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: every out of every fifty of those situations that happened

512
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: to me, maybe one of them. Do I feel moved

513
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: to actually spend some time with it, because a lot

514
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: of them are just weird and and you know, they're

515
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: leaving stuff on my car and like that feels like

516
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: it's an invasion of personal space. However, I'm a big

517
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: believer in shooting your shot, and I probably would do

518
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: someone sitting on the toilet and I'm a singer, maybe

519
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: I'll play and stick it under the stall, you know,

520
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: so they can hear it. So I respect it. But

521
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: I wonder as you're doing that, whether ever any instances

522
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: where you saw someone I thought maybe maybe this is

523
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: my spot to go say something to them. Oh well,

524
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there was plenty of times like

525
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: that where you had to hold yourself back because you're like,

526
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: I know this would be inappropriate, and I'm trying to think.

527
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: And there are certain certain stories with artists to who

528
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: it's happened for them in a good way. Yeah, I

529
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: encourage people to do I'm not mad at hur at all,

530
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: but I also have the right to feel creeped out

531
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: by Yeah, I think I was always here comes the

532
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: shot thing again with me like I was always is

533
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of shy and I didn't want to it. Probably

534
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: I probably stuff would have happened for me sooner had

535
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: I been more aggressive with this kind of stuff, Probably

536
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: just because I was always the kind of like, man,

537
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to bother anybody, you know, I don't

538
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: want to like I feel that way. I don't want

539
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: them to like, you know, that's just I'm just weird

540
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: like that. Did you ever see like Ja going and

541
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: dicks and be like, no, I'm a singer. I'm trying

542
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to think. I feel like I have seen people out though,

543
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: and I was always like, man, I should I think.

544
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: I saw Randy Howser in Walmart one time and I

545
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: was like, man, I should I should say something. I

546
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: want to play a couple of songs here. This is

547
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: your first number one and debut single. Here is some

548
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: Girls Get the Trip Back Home Drinking Bottle. You wrote that.

549
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: I didn't write that. I didn't. I didn't have it

550
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: up here because I know you're a big songwriter. So

551
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: my friends are songwriters who end up writing other songs.

552
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: I always think that's the biggest compliment to other songwriters. Yeah,

553
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: I always think that's super cool. Because you could be

554
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: an artist who I'm only doing my own thing. But

555
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: when you're so sure of your songwriting abilities, I feel

556
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: like it's a little easier to take a song that

557
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: that you hear somewhere else. Absolutely, And I mean so

558
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: this song in particular is a song that so hard Mike,

559
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Michael Hardy, Jake Mitchell, and c. J. Soler wrote this song.

560
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: And you know, coming up in Nashville, we had this

561
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: group called banda Bros. It was like a little our

562
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: little fraternity almost is what it is, kind of what

563
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: it was when nobody had anything going on. We would

564
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: hang out on the weekends and play songs and and

565
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: that was a song that they had written. And I

566
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: was just like, songs really good and like nobody cared

567
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: about it in town. I was just like, dude, if if,

568
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: if you know, two or three years down the road,

569
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: if I have a record deal, I'm cutting this song

570
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: for sure. And it almost got cut a few times,

571
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: I think, and uh, you know, it slipped through the cracks.

572
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: I guess I mentioned your songwriting because let's see songs

573
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: you wrote. Talk you out of it. F g L.

574
00:29:53,440 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: This is a top ten song on you Play You Play, Uh,

575
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: now your first number one as an artist, it is,

576
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: But Chris Lane, I don't know about you, was a

577
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: number one. What's your name sound? So before you have

578
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: a number one as an artist, you have numb one

579
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: as a songwriter. That's almost the write of passage for

580
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: people who last a long time, right right. It's like

581
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: some of my favorite artists, like I was, I would

582
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: always be like man Luke Bryan wrote this song for

583
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Travis Tritton before he was like Billy Carrington number one

584
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: for Billy Billy Carrington. Eric Church had like a um

585
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: Terry Clark cut I think back in the day, just

586
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: like random so Brantley his all his stuff was he

587
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: had some big songs as a writer. Um. It seems

588
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: like though, that is consistent with the folks who stay

589
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: like they came up, they got a publishing deal as

590
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: they were figuring out who they were as an artist,

591
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: they were still just writing, just churning it out because

592
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a quantity game. You're gonna get some

593
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: quality if you do enough quantity, but you do you

594
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: have to just write and work and work and work.

595
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: And so the significant thing that I see as far

596
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: as the consistency with artists and country music is those

597
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: guys that can write they last because even if their

598
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: shine falls as a performer, it'll be back eventually because

599
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: they can write themselves out of a hole. Exactly. Yeah.

600
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean I think for me, I've always gone with

601
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: good songs take care of everything. I mean they literally do.

602
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: You can do anything, you could, You could do anything

603
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: except murder someone probably, And if you have good songs,

604
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: the fans will not care. They don't care. Yeah, if

605
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: then you just change your name as the writer and

606
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: you just keep writing. I'm curious too, because you wrote

607
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: the lead song from Luke's last record, Born Here to

608
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: Live Here. You wrote the title track as they were

609
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: calling when you because there's different stages when they say hey,

610
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: you gotta cut, or first it's hey looks thinking about cutting,

611
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: then he cuts it. You're like all right, cool, cool, cool.

612
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, we're naming the record after it.

613
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: Do you go, well, Holy Craft is probably gonna be

614
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: a single. Oh believe me. I mean, I'm I'm in that.

615
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm in that mindset right now. I have no idea

616
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: if it's ever going to be a single, but I'm

617
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: just like, I'm thankful to even have a chance maybe.

618
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I was hoping that it was gonna be

619
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: the single. You know that he went with down to

620
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: One for the single, which is a great song too,

621
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: and so I was it was kind of a there

622
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: was nobody saying anything around that camp, Like I was

623
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: trying to get info from Brian Wright at Universal and

624
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, carry Edwards, and I was just like, man,

625
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: it's like almost I have the next single or no,

626
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: and the just man, we didn't picked anything yet, so

627
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: maybe maybe next year, maybe next year. Here's one more

628
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: that you wrote. This is from Jason Audien's nine album.

629
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: This is called Camouflage Hat, Body Tacking Baby and Your

630
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: Jacket by the Flag. Yeah, got it bed but goodle

631
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: a camouflagog and that one, we know will not be

632
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: a single because he's already working on his next record.

633
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I know, I know. And I just found that out

634
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago, and I'm still kind of still

635
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of heartbroken about it. I think you're going all right, though.

636
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: I think the fact that you now have a number

637
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: one as an artist kind of cancels that out when

638
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: you go there and it's your first number one party

639
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: for for Chris Lane, that's gonna be a pretty cool feeling.

640
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, I mean that's what you dream about, you

641
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I mean, I've made a promise

642
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: to myself I wouldn't go to a number one party

643
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: till it was mine. I did break that promise because

644
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: my one of my best friends had a number one

645
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: and I had to go to that. But that it

646
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: was Josh Miller. Me and Josh were roommates for a while,

647
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: and uh what song did he write? There was the

648
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: number one that you went to? It was, um it

649
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: was kIPS um uh more girls like you. Yeah, so

650
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: you go to that one and a little bit you're

651
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: ashamed of yourself, but your friend your your friendship, and

652
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: I had nothing going on that afternoon, so I was like,

653
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, I would have been a butt hole of

654
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: a friend if I didn't do that. You played the

655
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: Grand Ol Operty for the first time about a year ago,

656
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: is that right? Yeah? Last September things when it was again,

657
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: You've been a town a while to finally get that

658
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: operay call. That's gonna be pretty freaking cool, Oh man.

659
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's I'm trying to think the coolest

660
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: thing I've gotten to do that that's probably it. I mean,

661
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't get much cooler than that, you know what

662
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, You get to play the I mean, I

663
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: think of all the people that have played the grand

664
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: old Operation, and again I got to I got to

665
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: surprise my grandma and camera with it too. Uh that's

666
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: the great which sol Man. It was just like, you know,

667
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: my my dad was named after Ernest tub And so,

668
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been some huge country music fans in

669
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: my family. So that was a big, big deal. I

670
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: just did a story because I worked with the operating

671
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: and I've played the operations of Comedian a bunch. But

672
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: I was doing a story yesterday with with someone who's

673
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: writing a story in their ninety birthday, and so they

674
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, the operation. You know, what do you

675
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: remember about your first appearance at the opera? Because I

676
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: think I've probably played the fifteen or sixteen times now.

677
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: I said, well, what I remember is I didn't see

678
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: a single face. I was so nervous my first time.

679
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: You go out and you stand there and it takes

680
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: a second because the sounds a bit different in that room.

681
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: It's tall, and I said, I told my first joke

682
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: and nobody laughed, and I thought, oh crap, this is

683
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: gonna be awful, but the room is built so tall

684
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: in different then I felt the laughter. Yeah, yeah, I said,

685
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: I didn't see anybody's face, cup, so I said, But

686
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: the second time was my favorite because I got to

687
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: go out and just kind of sit in it and go, oh,

688
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: I've been here before, I can do this, and I

689
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: saw people's faces. I looked in the crowd. I'm gonna

690
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: ask you the same question, your first time performing at

691
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: the opery. What do you remember about it that was

692
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: so significant of the actual performance. Sure. So the whole day,

693
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's freaking out. My family, friends are coming

694
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: up from from Mississippi, and my whole team in Nashvill.

695
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: It's just a big it's a big night, your your

696
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: debut with opera. And so I'm I'm pretty good at

697
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: keeping my cool, like or at least hiding that I'm

698
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: not nervous, and so I was. I really wasn't that nervous.

699
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 1: All day we had played, I felt like a million

700
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: shows that you're already out with Luke and my home shows,

701
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, I felt confident. But when

702
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: I got side stage, you know, and they're about to

703
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: introduce you, I was like, oh God, like this is

704
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: I can't mess up. This could be really embarrassing. Like

705
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: and uh, anyway I got I'll go out there. It

706
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: played three songs and I can barely even remember it, honestly.

707
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: It went by so fast. But Charlie Daniels came up

708
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: to me after. I was like, man, because I played

709
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: the last song I played was acoustic, and he was like, man,

710
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: that last song unbelievable songwriting. And I was just like,

711
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, are you kidding me right now? Charlie Daniels.

712
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: The opera is cool because everybody that's there is just

Speaker 1: there meaning have at it. Doors are open hi to

Speaker 1: anybody if they may comes the high to you. That's cool.

715
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: Charlie Daniels story. Um, the first that I had known

716
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: of you really was on Luke's tour. Luke Luke Combs

717
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,719

00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: I like this guy a lot. His name is Jamison Rodgers.

719
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: How did that relationship come together? So? Uh, let's rewand

720

Speaker 1: four years. This was summer of two sixteen. Um, Luke

Speaker 1: that sounds pretty I mean I didn't even have any

760
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: I had no interest from a record label at the time.

761
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: You know. It was. I barely even had a management

762
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: deal at the time, I think, And so that that

763
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: really got the ball rolling from me. You think him

764
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: putting you on tour absolutely yeah. I mean the lets

765
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: so Lynn Oliver, who was Luke's manager and signed him

766
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: to River House and Sony she signed me, and the

767
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: rest is history. Pretty much. Here is a Colby Are

768
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: Calling My Name? It's you and Luke Combs right here.

769
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: There's a cold bit trawing my name. Feel good time coming,

770
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: got a new song and a sencest and this thing

771
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: feel luck, he has said, has sometimes said that is

772
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: a packet balla cream in my baby, but sugar only. Yeah,

773
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: soopin a pretty damn good day and there's a cool

774
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: bit coming. Is that a I call you're nervous about going? Hey, man,

775
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: you want to hop on a song? Yeah? I was

776
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: for sure because he's never on anything, Like he's just

777
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: never featured on anything. And so I text him. I

778
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: actually text Lynn first, his manager. I was like, you

779
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: think Luke wood would want to sing on Colby Are

780
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: Calling My Name? Because I knew he liked the song.

781
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: She had sent him a bunch of my demos and whatnot,

782
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: and so he was he was a fan of the songs.

783
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, man, I'm going in and cutting

784
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: or I had already cut it, I think, because when

785
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: I cut it, I didn't even have the intention to

786
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Luke being on it at the time. And then he

787
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: asked me to go on tour and I was like, man,

788
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: it would be a cool song for him to jump on. Anyway,

789
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: I texted me. He was like, dude, that would be awesome.

790
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: Please let me do it. And I was like okay.

791
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: And this was like this was also to two and

792
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: a half years ago, So it wasn't he's the man now,

793
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He wasn't quite the man.

794
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: He was one of the big guys then. Now he

795
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: was definitely going in the right direction then. But he's like, yeah,

796
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: he's Elvis now, I'll call him Elvis. I was talking

797
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: to Chris Lane maybe a week or so ago, and

798
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: I had seen that picture on Instagram of all you

799
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: guys playing ball together the recoupables, Chris Lane, Morgan Wall

800
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: and Hardy, John Linkston, Jordan Davis. I mean, that's a

801
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of ex athletes, all trying to be at maybe

802
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: not trying, still being trying. It's a big trying. Yeah.

803
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Anyone anyone got hurt yet? Uh no, not yet. Luckily,

804
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea how tonight is the first night

805
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Actually, so I'm what time in the game,

806
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: it's I'm lee, I'm pretty much position do you play

807
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: in the I play second base? Um? But tonight, you know,

808
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: it's been a battle. So I'm the I'm the coach.

809
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: Big quotes here, big quotes for the quote for the coach.

810
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: Um I did. I did put it together, and I

811
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: was like, man, when's the next time all of us

812
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be in town this much and be able

813
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: to play softball together? And so I put the put

814
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 1: the team together, and you know, I had to hand

815
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: pick some some guys that I thought were athletes, you know,

816
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: And it's been fun. It's been a blast, but it

817
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: is a headache usually every week. I mean, I'm having

818
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: to deal with like ten artists, you know what I mean.

819
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: It's like it's a logistical like now your respectually deals

820
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: with you a little bit more. Who's the most surprised?

821
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: Who's the best athlete who can still play? Um? Man,

822
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: Chris Lane is really good? Now? Outfield? Um really good?

823
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys just ringers? Good? Lord? Do you play

824
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: other teams that every least solid squad too? So it's

825
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: probably we went five and two and then we lost

826
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: a couple of games. Yeah, we lost a couple. We

827
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: got we got got to talk in a big game

828
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: after we were four. No, that's when everybody started posting

829
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: the pictures, right, and the next two games we just

830
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: got smart and we're just like, oh god, we shouldn't

831
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: have done that. What kind of teams beat you though

832
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: they got? Are they the softball guy who they have

833
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: really good teams. They're playing a long time and maybe

834
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: they didn't play college baseball. But yeah, I mean, it's

835
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: a so it's a mix, like it'll be two or

836
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: three Like on the good teams, it'll be two or

837
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: three players that are like really good, and then it'll

838
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: be three or four that are they're good, you know

839
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: what I mean, And then it'll be you know, it's

840
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: never we don't play anyone that's just like top to bottom.

841
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm scared to death when I'm on the infield,

842
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But there's there is like

843
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that have played pro ball like

844
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: that are out there and just like, oh god, please

845
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: don't hit it at me. The most annoying thing about

846
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: having friends out here, because you know, it's it's a

847
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: lot of folks who come from all over. Right, We're

848
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: a hub. We're a hub of creativity in different ways.

849
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: We have big basketball games, have a basketball court down

850
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: there and like Matt Still came last night. He's just

851
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: so freaking good. Yeah, and he played college basketball, but

852
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't know him as Matt Still the college basketball player.

853
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: But he shows up and it's like, yeah, and I

854
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: know Matt, it's markets sophomakets. He's like, yeah, let's play

855
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: just killing folks. Well, it doesn't hurt that he wakes

856
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: up and he's six seven and seven. But he also

857
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: had ball handling skills as a six seven guy. Yeah,

858
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: you can tell he's played a lot of basketball, so

859
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: he dominates. Like Brett Eldridge comes over. He's a good friend.

860
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: He plays a lot down here, and he didn't play

861
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: ball outside of high but he's still so freaking athletic

862
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: that you're just like, even you pick something, give us

863
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: something like you can't you know, you shouldn't be good

864
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: at everything. Yeah, so I have to beat up on

865
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: Still on the golf course. That's the only sport I

866
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: can beat him in. Right now. You just played Pinehurst.

867
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: We did Me and Matt, Me and Matt and like

868
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: it was he went and played Chris Lane and Hardy

869
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: and Charles Kelly, Jake, and I mean it was a

870
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: ton of people that went it was. It was honestly

871
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: one of the most fun golf trips I've ever been

872
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: on in my life, just because, I mean, the courses

873
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: are unbelievable and you know, the hang was awesome. Yeah.

874
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: With so I I played golf a little bit, probably

875
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: not at the level that you do. I shot at

876
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: eighty two that it's pretty happy. It's pretty happy with

877
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: that struggling though, as you as you know, sometimes something

878
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: weird just starts happening with you and you can't it's

879
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: hard to diagnose it. So Jake and I are close,

880
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: and I said, Jake dudase, Jake is really good. No,

881
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: he's really it's Jake the best of that group. Or

882
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: I've played with Charles before. Charles good. Cult Forward I

883
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: think was the best. Yeah, cult is really good, but

884
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: Jake is top two three because Culture played on like

885
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: the Hooters Tour or something. Colt is unreal, which is

886
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: crazy guy. He's lost a ton of weight actually, but

887
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean even look, I mean he's just yeah,

888
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: you would not think cult Ford be an incredible golfer,

889
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: but he is unbeatable really yeah, I mean he's he's

890
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: just so steady. He never messes up. Ever, he I played.

891
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: I want to say I played three rounds with him

892
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: that week. I don't think he missed a fairway. I

893
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: don't think he did not one fairway. What do you shoot?

894
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: I think I shot an eight three it on the

895
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: pine Hurst number two. And what teas were you playing?

896
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: Do you have to if you're playing well, they don't

897
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: even have the They have a back tea, but that's

898
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: not even the US Open tea. When the US Open

899
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: is there, they don't even have those teams available to play.

900
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: But no, I played the whatever the second to last tea.

901
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: I'm not trying. You know, I'm not that good. Well,

902
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: my my point with Jake was I could I just

903
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: had something and I could not fix it. And I said,

904
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: hey man, I'm gonna send you a video. And he goes,

905
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: hit four or five balls and send me a video.

906
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: It's so great. So I sent him over and he

907
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: goes like fifteen minutes later, he's out in the yard

908
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: of the clubs and it's like here's here's I swear

909
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: to god, it took four strokes off, just like like

910
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: he's that good, not just playing, but also going this

911
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: is what you're doing and this is the easy thing.

912
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: The small thing you can do to make it better.

913
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: Colt did the same thing for making weird pine hers

914
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: because I was. I was. I had the chipping yips

915
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: when I was out there. For some reason, my short

916
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: game was god awful, and I was like, could help

917
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: me out, man, help elding this chipping. And he would

918
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: just be like, man, pretend the end of the club

919
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: is a gun barrel and it can never point at you.

920
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: It has to always be pointing forward, if that makes sense.

921
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: And so I was like, all right, it sounds weird.

922
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: And I got out there hit a perfect I was

923
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,080

Speaker 1: you're going by that picture I posted, I did that

928
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: one time. And I was like, oh, I'm good, I

929
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: did it. Okay, Yeah, we used to do a bit

930
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, oh everybody back I grew up right

931
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: next to a big lake, two lakes, and it's a

932
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: big thing back home. But yeah, I'm good on that. You.

933
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,759

934
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: you get engaged? I got engaged. I think it was

935
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: the very end of September, so about a month ago.

936
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: Do you sing to her? Is that how you got her? No?

937
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: Definitely not, she'd probably laugh at me. Um. So she's

938
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: a singer songwriter. So we met at the Bluebird Um

939
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven. We have both new in town,

940
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: and we went to a songwriting workshop. It was like, um,

941
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: Barbara Cloyd play for publishers. They'd bring in three or

942
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: four publishers and you got to play a song or

943
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: two for them and it's a class or whatever for

944
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: two or three days. And she was in there, and uh,

945
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: I thought she was pretty whatever all that good stuff.

946
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: But it took a few years for us two. Uh

947
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 1: we and we wrote we right here once or twice

948
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: a year, and uh, we're friends for a few years

949
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: and then decided to start dating. And yeah, the rest

950
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: is history. Are you shy where you because are you're

951
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: not present tense talking to girls? Were you shy towards

952
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: women as you were towards generally of folks? Um? Yes,

953
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: and no, how did you get her? I don't even know?

954
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: It just kind, It was just kind of a nat.

955
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: I think we both had had a crush on each

956
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: other for forever and at the time I was dating

957
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: another girl. Um, when I met her at the workshop,

958
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: I was dating somebody else, and I think she was

959
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: dating somebody else too. So it took, for whatever reason,

960
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: the stars to align. It took a few years for

961
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: the stars to align and even consider going out with

962
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: each other, you know, And you did the proposal at

963
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: the Bluebird, I did. I saw, I tricked her. I

964
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,479
Speaker 1: was like, Um, I got my manager to send this

965
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: crazy long email about this documentary, made up documentary that

966
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: I just made up, and uh, he was like, you

967
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be three cameras. You know you need

968
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 1: to come camera ready all this stuff, because you know nothing.

969
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: Girls want to look good when you get engaged to

970
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 1: or when they get engaged, and so um, she walks

971
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: in and I had it all decked out with some roses.

972
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: Did she know immediately? I think she did. So if

973
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: I could go back and change one thing, and I

974
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: don't there it would be impossible to even change because

975
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: it's a pandemic year. I wasn't even thinking about her

976
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: walking in with a mask on because she thought it

977
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: was gonna be a whole film crew and stuff in there.

978
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: And uh, she walks in with a mask and and

979
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm standing up on the stage and it's decked out

980
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: with candles and stuff, and I was like, take your

981
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: mask on. You're getting your picture made right now. But

982
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: it worked out good. Where did you do it? The barn?

983
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: We have a barn back behind the house, because this

984
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: is about five acres or a nice little spot, and

985
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: so there's a barn and we're renovating the barn because

986
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: it's so old. You used to have horses on this

987
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: property and they haven't used that barn in twenty years.

988
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: And so I was like, hey, let's get the barn innovaded.

989
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: And so I had workers out here that I was

990
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: off shooting my Natjo show. I mean, we come back

991
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoons. We've we're gonne, you know, Friday, Saturday.

992
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: We come back Sunday. And so I said, hey, they've

993
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: been working on the barn all weekend and I'm severely

994
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: color blind with the dark. And so I said, hey,

995
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: there's some there's some paint samples down there. I need

996
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: you to help me because I can't tell the difference

997
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: in the colors. She's like great, but like you, I

998
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: knew that she wouldn't want to have a video or

999
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: she wasn't looking great for engagement because a lot of

1000
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: people going to see that. And I said, hey, we'll

1001
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: we have dinner with a couple of friends. And I

1002
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: never go anywhere. I'll lock myself up. Listen, if you

1003
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: don't have a corona test, I ain't gonna get around you.

1004
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 1: And she was, and she was like, we're gonna dinner.

1005
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, we need to get out a little bit,

1006
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: and so she's like okay. So she gets dressed up,

1007
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: but we haven't had a date night in six months,

1008
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: not like that. And so she's dressed up, and I

1009
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: knew she would feel like, man, I've done this in

1010
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: a while. Let me look good. So I was like, okay,

1011
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: we have to go on to dinner, but let's walk

1012
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: down to the barn real quick. So we walk down

1013
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: to the barn and she's like, going, do not do

1014
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: this Monday? And I pulled the door open and like that,

1015
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: it was just candles everywhere. She started crying immediately. Did

1016
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: what did you have planned to say? Did you have something?

1017
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: You know? Your songwriter? The pressure is on yeah, I

1018
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: mean I can't put short and sweet. I mean, but

1019
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: I definitely had something in my brain. I was like,

1020
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: and I don't know, me and her, we don't have

1021
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: to like, I don't know, we're just simple folks. I

1022
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: don't know. We just don't have to like say, I

1023
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't have to be a big speech or anything. I

1024
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: think she was just and we never even talked about

1025
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: getting married ever, Like she never kind of I mean

1026
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: we've been if she would say yes, I mean I

1027
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: had a feeling she would say yes. I mean it

1028
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: was like percent sure, that's a tough five and so

1029
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,560
