1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: So we talked about this on the show this week

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: when a caller called up and said, Hey, Bobby, what

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: were your favorite interviews ever? So we wanted to make

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: a special little podcast here of it. And so these

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: are what I told her, And we thought we'd put

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: these all here if you wanted to hear them back,

7
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: because they're from all different years. So we dug into

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: the archive and we pulled the audio from what I

9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: would consider three of my favorite interviews of all time.

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: We'll start at number three. This is September seventh, twenty eighteen.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: So a couple of years ago. Jake Owen had been

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: on the show a bunch of times. Always a great guest.

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: But Jake Owen, he brought donuts, He talked about what

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: song he doesn't like to perform. He mentions this song

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: made for You, which right now in current time, that's

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: his big single. And so he's the best guest we've

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: ever had, pound per pound, and so here we go.

18
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Check it out. Here is the Friday Morning Conversation with

36
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,800

00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: just a board that was a parking spot on a board.

Speaker 1: let's listen to this one. Who star walk with my name,

45
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: my hometown man down to the hockey babies after me

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: and I knocking down in history. But I mean when

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you played it in the first time live in here,

48
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: you got a girl, you played, you played this before

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: you released it. You can't play the whole concert, and

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: we were like, that's the jam. Thanks many people. You know,

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I've released a lot of songs, and um, you always

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: hope that they're going to do well because you believe

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: in them when you release them. But you always know

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: a song is going to do well when you start

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: getting random text messages from people. And this song, out

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: of all songs I've released, I've had more fellow artists

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: in the format like I never hear from that text me.

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: They're like, good song man. It's almost like it's almost

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: like I've done the same thing. You hear someone's song

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: and you've text somewhere you're kind of like, why didn't I,

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: Why didn't I get that one? But I was pretty

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: fortunate to come across this song. And I've always been

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: a big fan of great country songs, and I think

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: this is like the perfect mixture of a classic sounding

65
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: song with kind of a modern flare to it. So

66
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: it's it's cool to have it out. Thanks for playing it, man,

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: video's cool too. How you guys did that downtown? Yeah,

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: that was a long video night we started filming at

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: It was a Friday night. We started filming at seven

70
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: pm and didn't finish still seven am. They kind of

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: do the overnight thing so they can shut down Broadway

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: down there. Why does a video take so long to shoot?

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Twelve hours a long time. There's a lot of people

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: involved in making a video happen. I mean everything from

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, the people actually shooting the video obviously, to

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: people making sure that people that are shooting the video

77
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: are in the right place. I mean, it's just it's

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: like anything in life, you gotta have you gotta have

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of team players doing the right things and

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: making it happen. How many times you have to sing

81
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: that through doing a video you think, I don't know,

82
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: twenty thirty times, just kind of and have the same

83
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: energy every time. Yeah, But I mean it's kind of

84
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're entertainers and in this video will live forever,

85
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: So it's kind of for me. It's kind of like

86
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: you better be ready to do it. You can't just

87
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: dial it in the Friday morning conversation. So Jake's here,

88
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: I want to run through some of your songs. We

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: just come off down to the hockey tongue. So your

90
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: last number one, I think I was this conversation with

91
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: this song reminds me because I was shooting American Idol

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: and you texted me the song. And I don't listen

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: to music early. I don't regardless of who send to

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: me stuff you like Doude listen to the song anyway.

95
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm not gonna listen, but the

96
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: day it comes out, I'm gonna listen. But then I

97
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: cheated and listened anyway. And I was like, dude, that's

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: really good. And I was nervous because that's as classic

99
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: you had to be nervous. I was really I was

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: really nervous. I mean, I wasn't nervous at the fact

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: that I've always had a strong intuition on the songs

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that I feel like will be they'll connect with an audience,

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: and I knew it would. But at the same time, too,

104
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I've always I respect the integrity and artistry of a

105
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: guy like John Mellencamp, and my main thought process was,

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: I just hope this doesn't offend him. And when we

107
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: got his approval on it, and he said that he

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: loved it and thought it was a great idea and

109
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: it really is an ode to him and his music

110
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: and that song, it was pretty validating. So and now

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to know that it's a number one song even validates

112
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: it more. Although I haven't heard from him, you know,

113
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: I wonder that's one thing. I wondered, if he'd reached

114
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: out to you after I went number one, if he

115
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: even knew. No, No, I'm sure he knows. But I

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: actually watched there's a Netflix documentary on John Mellencamp, and he,

117
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean self. He admits that he's not like a

118
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: very outgoing, talkative person. He talks about when he first

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: got big, he was living in New York City and

120
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: he said he walked outside of his apartment and there

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: were people out there waiting on him, and he thought

122
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to himself, I don't know if this is for me,

123
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: because he said he always made music just for himself,

124
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: and and it's one thing to just to be that

125
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: way and kind of not be talkative to people and

126
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of converse with him. But it's another thing to

127
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: actually admit it, and I respect that if you're that

128
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: kind of person and you admit that you're just not

129
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: comfortable being around fans are talking to people. Um, I

130
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of at least you know he's not he's not

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: holding back. I wonder if you would have said, nah,

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't like it that much, would you still put

133
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: it out? No? You wouldn't have No, No, I really again,

134
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean I respect anybody's artistry and the integrity for

135
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: their own music, not even just the artist songwriters. You know,

136
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: sometimes a songwriter write a song and somebody gets ahold

137
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: of it and someone to put this out. But if

138
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: the song I was like, I don't really know if

139
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: I went in my song going to that person to

140
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: one tough one, right, tough one. Well there's that one. Okay, Okay,

141
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: it's just another one. How about boy? This one here

142
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: man made for you. This is my favorite song I've

143
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: ever recorded. I love this song. I've told you that

144
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: I posted on my own I mean, I love you.

145
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: It was like your song of the day, like song

146
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: on my life. I want to be able to like

147
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: sing this as somebody. Yes, I've gone through some like

148
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: we all have. You know, we've gone through ups and

149
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: downs in the level of love is not easy. But

150
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: when you can find the person you're made for and

151
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: you absolutely know that positively, there's no better feeling. And

152
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: uh and I'm I'm I feel like I'm on my

153
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: way there. But I also see that in my parents.

00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,920

214
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: and Jake text me is like, what are you doing? Yeah, well,

215
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: well I wrote that. My brother, my twin brother, we

216
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: just had a birthday two days ago and I was

217
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: nineteen in college, and he was so mad at me

218
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: speaking of love songs, because I tend to always I

219
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: would write those because it seemed like it was just easy.

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: It was. It was a way for me to express

221
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: my feelings towards the female gender in a way that

222
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't say it just specifically out of my mouth.

223
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I had to use a guitar and a melody to

224
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: tell us three minute story. And my brother is like, man, stop,

225
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: He's like, write something for me and my friends that

226
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: we can turn up in our trucks. And my brother

227
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: used to spit dip all the time, and every time

228
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I get in his truck, he would have that dip

229
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: cup sitting there with a little like a napkin in

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: the bottom of it where he'd spit in it, and

231
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: there was just like this two inches of just saliva.

232
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: It was disgusting, and he would always say, watch out man,

233
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: watch out from my cup right there, it'll knock it over.

234
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: So in that song it says, climb on up, but honey,

235
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: watched the cup. I've been spitting my dip inside. And

236
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: it's ever love that. Do you see? That's on live

237
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: every night and it's one of the biggest song. It's

238
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: one of the big songs I play every single night.

239
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: People love this song. This, this isn't. I have a

240
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: hard time sometimes because it's not necessarily my persona, like

241
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't hush, come on, yeah. Do you

242
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: know how many times it's like in the studio I

243
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: was like, all right, give me that again. Hear that again.

244
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, you did a bunch. Yeah, I

245
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: love it. Three to four. I always think though, And

246
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: I wrote about it's a jam, trap, It's a jam,

247
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: and I wrote it about the last book. If you're

248
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: not somewhat going, oh, I don't know how I feel

249
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: about the older stuff that I did, then you're not

250
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: growing in a different direction totally. If you're still like

251
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: feeling what you did at nineteen, then you're still kind

252
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: of nineteen. Yeah, And that's part of life. You gotta grow,

253
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: You gotta look back on what you did. And uh,

254
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, dropping names. It's not something that I that

255
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: I like three but I do think whoa name you're

256
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna do that? Go ahead? Uh, But it wasn't like

257
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm just using his name as a name drop. Not

258
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: that he said this specifically to me. I heard him

259
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: say an interview one time that Vince Kill said, Um,

260
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: when you record music, it's it's a very powerful thing

261
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: that lives forever. So when you record a song, you

262
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: better be prepared for that thing to live forever and

263
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: play it forever and be okay with the fact that

264
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: people are gonna either accept it or not accept it.

265
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: And I need's true. That's a very true statement. Jaco

266
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: And is here. We're gonna come back because I want

267
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: to know about this new TV show you're doing. I

268
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,479
Speaker 1: want to know about you and Shania, how that friendship's

269
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: manifesting itself. So you hang out for a bit. Yeh yeah,

270
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: all right, Jaco w And is here. Jakeoen's eating donuts

271
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: as we're copping on the air. He just asked permission

272
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: to eat. I've never been so happy like the last

273
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: two to three months, for like, for like the last

274
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: three years. All I've done is like they try to

275
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: eat healthy. You look good though you look thin? Are

276
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: you thin? I think, so? Yeah, you do well? What well?

277
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: So now I have Now I have a question about

278
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: the donut and the need for the donut, Like, well,

279
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't I've been on that healthy track. What's up? Like, well,

280
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: I think it's all everything you have to you have

281
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: to balance it, right, Like for the last two to

282
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: three years, I thought the only way to really get

283
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: in great shape was to just like worry about everything

284
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: I eat and go go hardcore or everything. And now

285
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of like I just to treat myself to

286
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: whatever I want. But then I get back to eating.

287
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it so much, and it makes

288
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: me mentally happier. You know. There were days where I'd

289
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: just like look at someone next to me driving in

290
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: their car eating like a McDonald's french fry or something,

291
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, I want one of those

292
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: so bad. I'm just trying to look good right now.

293
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: And then now I just run through McDonald's if I

294
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: want to, you know what I mean. And now if

295
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate that method, if you can control I can't

296
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: control it because if I have one donut. I have

297
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: the whole box. I'm like ad one. I brought a

298
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: whole box, but I don't eat. I can't touch it

299
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: because I'll eat it all. You probably have a moderation

300
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: gene in you, not really do I I don't really know.

301
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm just I feel like if I don't know. In

302
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the minute I started enjoying myself doing the things that

303
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: I enjoyed doing, things just seem to life seems to

304
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,120

Speaker 1: same studio back in the day talking talking to the

325
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,400

330
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: enough about this board. Talk about Real Country on USA,

331
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: this show. When does it come on? What does it mean?

332
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: What to do? I believe that Real Country is gonna

333
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: air November first, I think November thirteenth. But it's been

334
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: an amazing experience so far. Here's what I'm excited about.

335
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Let me start by telling you Real Country is a

336
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: television show that will be on the USA network that

337
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: is not a singing contest. The contestants have all been

338
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: um uh, they put in their their what's the word

339
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of now, Like they auditioned I guess by

340
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: sending in videotapes and then we kind of narrowed them

341
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: down to each one of us who we liked, right.

342
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: Each one of us has about six different contestants, myself,

343
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Travis Tritch, and I Twain, and it's a showcase. They

344
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: we're just giving them the opportunity to step on stage

345
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: and sell themselves here in Nashville as any one of

346
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: us artists throughout the years. When it was when we

347
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: got our record deal, we were trying to get a

348
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: record deal, we'd go to I remember going a twelfth

349
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: comporter here in Nashville and it was time for me

350
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: to do a showcase that night, and publishers would show up,

351
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: Other record laels show up, radio people who show up,

352
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: and it's at that moment it's your if you have

353
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: the people there, it's at your point to sell yourself.

354
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: And that's what these kids are doing and guys and girls,

355
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: and we're just kind of panelists giving them our advice

356
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: on what we think they should do. The great part

357
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: about the show is is that it's strictly focusing on

358
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: country music November on USA. It's called Real Country jacoens here.

359
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: I like look at my playlist sometimes and see what

360
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: song of people's I've played the most. What I'm gonna

00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,160

362
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: song of yours that you've ever that you've ever recorded,

00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, this is this is my favorite one? Uh?

Speaker 1: day it will be. You just played it well. Made

366
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: for You exists, which had been a single. Yeah, it's

367
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: been a single for the masses to hear. But it's

368
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: interesting when songs that haven't been singles are already coming

369
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: back to me through the fans as songs that that

370
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: they are gravitating towards and they love the most. Yeah, man,

371
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's one of my favorites. So Alone

372
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: with You is my most played song of yours. Wow. Yeah,

373
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: that's a that's another great, great song. That's a jam. Um.

374
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: I I've got a lot. I released a single speaking

375
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes releasing a single doesn't always make it

376
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: a big well known song. Or released a song called

377
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: we All Want What we Aint Got. It was shortly

378
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: after ts Meadows, shortly after I was divorced. Yeah, And

379
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: I remember just listening to that song thinking of myself.

380
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Is I remember kind of over analyzing why perhaps I

381
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: might have been going through a divorce at the time

382
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: and my little girl living in Florida, and thinking, is

383
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: my passion for this business and working so hard is

384
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: it also negative for the fact that it's taken me

385
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: away from my real life? And so I talked to

386
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: my management and stuff about this all the time. As

387
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: hard as we work on our business and our life

388
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: going forward in this industry, we need to also pay

389
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: just as much close attention to our own personal lives

390
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: and put that much emphasis on it as well, because

391
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: if you're happy and personal life, you can be happy

392
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: and and your business. In anyways, that song kind of

393
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: tells the story of no matter where you are in life,

394
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: it's we always want more, and it sometimes you just

395
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: got to look around because there's a line in there

396
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: it says I wanted the world until my whole world stopped.

397
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: And I think all of us have kind of felt

398
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: that way at a time or two did a great

399
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: job with that song. Thanks. Yeah, I remember were playing

400
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,400

402
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: and played on the piano in front of rain crowd.

403
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: We waited like four hours because I kept writing us out.

404
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: I did yeah, and you came out and crushed it. Yeah,

405

410
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: it's shown that people are listening. But I'm just from

411
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: my perspective being able to kind of talk to fans

412
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: and people out there that are listening on a totally

413
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: different level than just through music. Tell me about the podcasting, dowload,

414
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: tell the name of it. So I have a podcast

415
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: called Good Company with Jake, and it's really I have

416
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: so many random friends and people that I enjoy talking to,

417
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: but I really enjoy the act of positivity. I like

418
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: promoting positive things. And I've talked to everybody from my

419
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: grand parents on this podcast that have been married for

420
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: seventy five years, talking to them about how they did it.

421
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: I've talked to my trainer at the Jim that used

422
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: to be. He tells you he was a fat kid

423
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: growing up, and he was embarrassed and he was bullied,

424
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: and now he's just just in super great shape and

425
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: that's what inspired him to do what he's doing. And

426
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: then the other day I was supposed to talk to

427
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: a friend of mine. He and his wife found out

428
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: they were pregnant um sixteen weeks ago. I was so

429
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: excited for them. They're gonna be the greatest parents. And

430
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: then two weeks into their pregnancy, she found out she's

431
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: got breast cancer. She's thirty years old, and they're dealing

432
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: with that right now. And so I'm talking to all

433
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: kinds of different people about their their life experiences and

434
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: how they look at life more positively, and I try

435
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: to do the same. And not only do I enjoy

436
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: talking to that and giving it to the mass public,

437
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: I also like it for myself. It's almost therapy for me.

438
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: So I've really enjoyed it. It's great. Check it out. Yeah,

471
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: number two. This is August eighth of twenty seventeen. When

472
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: John Mayer came in. This was twenty seventeen. He was

473
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, he was in Nashville. He was

474
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna stop by for like ten or fifteen minutes, but

475
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: it obviously went a lot longer than that, which is great.

476
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I think both of us really enjoyed this interview. He

477
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: talks about the one song he's tired of playing, his

478
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: dog and how he sees colors when he plays music.

479
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: He also talked about the inspiration behind Amy's favorite song

480
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: of John Mayer still Feel like Your Man, and that

481
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: famous shampoo line. So here you go. My number two

482
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: favorite interview John Mayer. All right, John Mayer in studio. Hey, dude,

483
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: how are you? Dude? Thanks for coming to I appreciate that.

484
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Thank you for supporting this record in the song and

485
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: giving me an opportunity to come in. You know, I

486
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: guess we can start this. We were talking yesterday. The

487
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: last concert that I paid money to go to was

488
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: your show. I saw you in Minneapolis and we went

489
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: up and watched that show, and I can't go tonight

490
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: and night You're like three blocks down the road. Well

491
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: you can't afford it. I can't I spend money I'm doing.

492
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm at the Opera tonight, so yeah, I can't count Listen,

493
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: there's always a cool reason not to come to my

494
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: show because someone has a show of their own. We're

495
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: having the debate in this room before you came in,

496
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: and you may not want to answer this. Which song

497
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: are you just tired of playing? Um? I'm tired of

498
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: playing waiting on the world to change Boom? Why did

499
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I say, hey, why that I would have one or

500
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: that it would be waiting on them? It would be

501
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: that one? Really? Yeah? Yeah, why do you think it is?

502
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I have a whole different reason. Why do you think

503
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: it is? I have a reason. I'm tired of hearing it.

504
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: Why do you think, oh that's funny, let's go, let's

505
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: bug it, let's bog it. Here we go. I'm leaning

506
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: into this ahead. Now why do you why are you

507
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: tired of playing it? Um, it's it's honest to god,

508
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: It's just a tactile thing. It's just after a while, like,

509
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: by the way, you're gonna be like, oh, well, I

510
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: hated the message. I was like, I just didn't like

511
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: the way I felt in my hand. Um, it's right

512
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: outside of my range. Like when I had vocal surgery

513
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: that I had a procedure and like it it costs

514
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: me like two or three notes, and I needed those

515
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: notes for winning on the world to change. So I

516
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: kind of kind of have to sneak around it. So

517
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: it's not exactly it never really wasn't the most comfortable

518
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: thing to sing, so weirdly enough, like all the songs

519
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: that became very popular are very difficult to sing for me. Meanwhile,

520
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: all I wanted to do is like have a hit

521
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: with like who says a kay guess, don't just wake

522
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: up at five in the morning be able to do it,

523
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: and so I'm weird when it comes to hits, man, Like,

524
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what makes a song of mine a hit.

525
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: I have a feeling it's like there's something in like

526
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: you do stand up, you know, like your middle funny

527
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: joke to you is your funniest joke to the crowd.

528
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I never know what joke's gonna be the funniest.

529
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: It's the one that you're the least excited about, Like

530
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: it's your throwaway they if the accidental throw it. Yeah,

531
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: because you're interested in the upper ranges of your mind,

532
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: like how can I be more clever? How can I

533
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: be more interesting? And then somewhere in your in your middle,

534
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: is where the crowd kind of grabs onto what you're saying,

535
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: Like the crowd probably applauds, and you go, You're like,

536
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: oh that, oh you like that okay, because that really

537
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: didn't feel like anything coming out of my head. It's

538
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: the same thing with music. It's like all the stuff

539
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh my god, this is so complex

540
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: and interesting and people are gonna love it, like they

541
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: kind of don't. It's the stuff that for me, I

542
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's a little bit um it bores me

543
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: just the slightest bit. It becomes like whatever I find

544
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: boring in it, people find accessible. And here's the joke

545
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the opera tonight. You tell me it's funny. Yeah, okay,

546
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: I haven't used it yet. Yeah, we'll have to bleep

547
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: it out. Okay, you said the guy that got caught

548
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: pledging himself with the movies to the emoji. Yes, this

549
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: is good. That's not that good. No, I mean it's

550
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: a good it's a good right. Everyone is freaking out

551
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: about the guy doing that to himself, and I'm just

552
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: wondering which emoji he thought was super hot. Okay, So

553
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: so that's a setup. That's not that's not a punchline yet,

554
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: it's still a setup. Right, So then you break it down?

555
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Is that the Sauca lady? There you go? Then I

556
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: go through the thing, and then at the end I

557
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: end up with the purpose. Yeah, there's a lot of

558
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: places plants? Is it the poop emoji? Right? But I

559
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: don't think people are that's funny. As I start rolling

560
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: through emoji's like, I think that's funny. It's funny if

561
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: you can break it out, and I hate that I'm

562
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: on your radio show telling you how to be funny.

563
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: It's okay because I'm telling you what songs I think

564
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: a very good. So we're all good. We're in a

565
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: good place. Where's your dog, by the way, because I'll

566
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: watch on social media? Is kidding? No, that is that's

567
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: a real question. Does your dog stay in Montana? My

568
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: dog does not stay in Montana. This this is what happened.

569
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: I got a dog. Why doed to have a dog

570
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: on the road? Road? Dog? Uh? A dear friend of

571
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: mine happens to be an incredible dog trainer. She took

572
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: my dog trained, My dog turned into a perfect beast.

573
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: And then I was like, okay, I'm taking my dog

574
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: on the road. Dog hates music. Hates music. He thinks

575
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: it's like thunder like thunderstor so he's trembling in the

576
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: dressing room first night. I think Red Rocks was like

577
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: the first place we were like, okay, well, I got

578
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: a dog, let's do this cowering in the corner. Also,

579
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: like when he's home with me, if I pick up

580
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: a guitar and plug it and start playing it, he

581
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: does the funniest thing, like he doesn't want to offend me,

582
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: but he like slowly SLINKs his two paws front paws

583
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: off the couch and just waddles out of the room

584
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: playing music. So it wasn't gonna work. But it turned

585
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: out that my dog trainer, she loved him so much,

586
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: and she said, well, he's a part of our family too,

587
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: so I'll be the mommy. And I thought that's awesome.

588
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: So my dog lives a better life than I do.

589
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: He lives in Brentwood, California, and I pick him up.

590
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: It's like doggy daycare, but it's months long. How about this,

591
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: the fact that you see colors when you play. I

592
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: don't have synesthesia, and people, okay, that's that's where people

593
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: now people somebody, Um, why would someone fake that too

594
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: about you? Then? Well, people misinterpret my metaphors a lot,

595
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: which is easily done. And I don't have synesthesia. I

596
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: have probably some interpretive form of synesthesis. Synesthesia, by the way,

597
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: is some people have a clinical I don't know if

598
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: i'd call it a disorder. It's a gift of sorts

599
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: whereby words and sounds actually are interpreted as colors in

600
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: their brain. I have it, but not visually. I'm pretty

601
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: close to I have relative synesthesia. What are you seeing

602
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: when you're playing a solo? What are you seeing in

603
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: your head? How are your numbers? Colors, muscle memory? What

604
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: is it? Shapes? Colors, geometry? That's actually, man, you're a

605
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 1: very good interviewer, Like you're asking really interesting, untrodden on

606
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: questions that are exciting to answer. Uh, the way that

607
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: I do it is tons and tons and tons of

608
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: streams of possibilities of shapes, What's where? Where does it go?

609
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: And I've done it for so long now that a

610
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of that data has sort of dissolved and it's

611
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: all feeling now. I just know where it is. I

612
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: just it's very Jedi now, like I just know where

613
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: it is, and it's sometimes I don't know how I

614
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: know it'll be different every single night, but I found

615
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: some weird confluence of what I know and what I

616
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: don't know. But what I'm pretty sure is going to

617
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: be there. And it's more fun than ever to play

618
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: guitar because I'm not playing it like a student of

619
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: guitar anymore. John Mayer's here now. So I'm buds with

620
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: the guys from the Zach Brown Band and Clay Cook,

621
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: yeah and so, and I know the story. But you

622
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: and Clay were Berkeley together and Clay was like, you know,

623
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: let's move down to Atlanta. And you and Clay kind

624
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: of had a duo together from you right, Yep, that's

625
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: how we started. That's how I started right out of college,

626
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: was playing in an acoustic duo. And so you move

627
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: down to Atlanta, and so why Atlanta of all play?

628
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: He had Clay had family in Atlanta and said I

629
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: think we can do and he said there was a

630
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: great music scene down there, which he was absolutely right.

631
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: He did have family and he was wasn't long about

632
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: either family and a music scene. So we moved down

633
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: there and just started doing open mic nights and writing,

634
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: and you know, he that's how I got my start

635
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: in music, was following him down to Atlanta. We lived

636
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: in Snellville, Georgia. Are you on the radio in Snailville, Georgia?

637
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Where everybody's somebody that's the name, that's the catchphrase for

638
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: snail like the snail, the bug or snell but it's

639
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: pronounced Snailville, but it's Snellville, s e L. So you

640
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: guys moved to Atlanta and you ride a lot of

641
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: things together. Yeah, we wrote, we had we had written

642
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, five or six songs at that point, we're

643
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: still trying to put it all together. So you guys

644
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: decide to go your own different way. Is that big

645
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: decision for you too? Yes? Yeah, well no one's ever

646
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: cared about this. Yeah. Uh falling out. We had a

647
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: falling out creatively, did you part of it? That was

648
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: part of it? Uh? The part that I can attest to, um,

649
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: he said, I have pretty pretty big feet, pretty strong head.

650
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody could have been in a duo

651
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: with me at that time. That's the part that I

652
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: can take responsibility for, is that I probably wasn't extremely collaborative.

653
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: I was. Uh, yeah, I don't think. I don't think

654
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: I was a strong group worker. Well were your roles

655
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: in that duo? Because everybody's got the role inside of

656
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: a team. He was, um and still is, hyper musical,

657
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: incredible musical mind. Um, and we were also, by the way,

658
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: completely we're really good friends now, I mean we are.

659
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm assuming now you guys are pure closeness. There's these

660
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: are two kids who are the stars of their town,

661
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: the musical stars of their town, coming together obviously seeing

662
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: something in one another that they identify with making music

663
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: together but never having really given over to someone else.

664
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: It probably shouldn't have two really strong solo kind of

665
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: mindsets coming together to collaborate, and where I think if

666
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: you're if you're still going well, it doesn't add up.

667
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: Put me in his life as a guest, and it

668
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: gets a little strange. It's like two people sharing a birthday,

669
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: you know. It's like he was I entered his entire

670
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: social life, you know, and I think there was an

671
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: identity thing of like, wait, what's mine and what's yours?

672
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: And again taking responsibility for it. I have very big shoes.

673
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily subtle, especially at that age. He didn't

674
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: want to mess around with young John. You don't want

675
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: to mess around nineteen year old John Mayor who just

676
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: figured out that the world is bendable and he's out

677
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: to just destroy it. You know. But this is my

678
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: new record, the project, that's Lindsay L record. Now, so

679
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: can we get a shout of them new record? The project?

680
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: Part of it was because you know, they didn't really

681
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: recognize me on the cover, but this is who I

682
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: this is my new record. I went by Lindsay L

683
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: and U can we play cut off that? Sure? So? Yeah?

684
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: So there it is this this is a great recording.

685
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: You're asking me, like, seriously, Yeah, it's a great it's

686
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: a great recording. What's the difference Wade recording? I just

687
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: hear a song the way the way it was engineered.

688
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: It's set, it's it's gorgeous. It's the best. That's the

689
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: gravity is the best record. Like you know, it's a

690
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: difference between Song of the Year, Record of the Year

691
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: of the Grammy's like, that's this isn't this is a

692
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: quite a record. This is how spare it is. If

693
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: I stopped talking, well now I'm just gonna keep going

694
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: because we're so really key into the record, especially the vocals.

695
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: This is gravity from Continuum checking out Gravity when I

696
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: want to when I want to show Minneapolis, he didn't

697
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: play it. I was said, and I know you get

698
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: that every show you can't play everything. Well no, but

699
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: you saw me in the beginning of this tour where

700
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna just play whatever I want

701
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: and the crowd was adamant that I played Gravity, So

702
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: we added Gravity back in every name. That's cool. Look,

703
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: it's cool to be that artist where you know there

704
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: are things that people identify with you, so so much

705
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: that you have to play them. I dig it and

706
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I'll play Gravity every night for the rest of my life.

707
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: Like that's a song I'll never get tired of. Andy,

708
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: what's your favorite song off the new record? Oh, well,

709
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: you know I have the one about She doesn't know

710
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: any words to it, she just knows the parts of ahead. No,

711
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: I know about how. I just think it's really really

712
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: clever about how you keep the shampoo in the shower

713
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: in case and romantic, like I think every girl sort

714
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: of would would want a guy to sing that for her.

715
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: Sticky hands man, it's hard, hard, getting hard getting out.

716
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: For me, it's it's good, but I mean this song.

717
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: No dude wants to have to write this song though, Yeah,

718
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: but he's both being gone wrong songs. Sorry, enjoy it.

719
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: No one knew what to do with it for listening,

720
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: because what do you get this song to? Like? And

721
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: this leads in the in the blood conversation, Like if

722
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: you're a station that's like a triple A station, you

723
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: played John mar music and all of a sudden, Columbia

724
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: is like, hey, here's the next John merrisonle like it

725
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: doesn't fit anyone's radio station, But does it have to

726
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: fit because I'm fit radio. I think nothing has to

727
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: fit radio. I'm with you, man, I mean, maybe that's

728
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: why we're still filling the places up with people's because

729
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: I'm not following this sort of format rule, you know,

730
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 1: like I put mixtapes out. I feel like that though.

731
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: And you're here for a reason because you have a song.

732
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: And I remember I went to the show and I

733
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: was talking and by the way, Lee Levesner is your

734
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: you want to explain who he is? Lee Livesner, uh

735
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: died in nineteen forty one, and it's come back as

736
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: a ghost to set things straight. Is that correct? Yeah?

737
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sorry, I just pitched movie ideas now, Leah.

738
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: For thirteen years or so, like Lee has been in

739
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: one way or another with you, champion, my champion of

740
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that I make. There are times he probably

741
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: doesn't see where a song could work and promptly stuffs

742
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: that thought deep deep deep down inside him and returns

743
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: back with the thought that this song can be huge

744
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: and goes out and fights for it. I mean, there's

745
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: a guy who I've the funniest thing you ever said

746
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 1: in his life was about still feel like your man,

747
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: because I thought that it could change stuff, like I

748
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: always believe that a song can change a format, a

749
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: song can change people's thinking. And we're backstage at Madison

750
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Square Garden. Columbia is there and this is right before

751
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: Still Feel Like Your band comes out, and I looked

752
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: at him. We had just finished a hug, but now

753
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: we've got hands on each other's shoulders, and I said,

754
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: I really believe and still feel like you're man, and

755
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: he said, and we know that you do. And I

756
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: thought that was just absolutely the funniest thing that I

757
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: record company, like, the funniest if it was if there

758
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: was a Curb Enthusiasm style show about my life, I

759
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: would write that in and that would be in the trailer.

760
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: It's hilarious, and we know that you do. That's a

761
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: guy who can't lie. Man. It was amazing. But listen

762
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: to the three Days I lost my mind and I

763
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: was only thinking about this song three days and a trance,

764
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: because what are you doing a trance? You're only about

765
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: bringing the song to life. I was in a therapist

766
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: office and I said, I still feel like her. I

767
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: still feel like her Mania and I went, oh, no,

768
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: here we go. I got in the car, I wrote

769
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: down still I still feel like You're Man. And I

770
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: looked at that title and I went, if we play

771
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: our cards right, that is a major song I had

772
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: felt like, and I immediately googled the title I still

773
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: feel like You're Man, because I thought someone must have

774
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: had this idea. Whenever I have a good idea, I'm

775
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: not even excited about it. I get immediately frightened that

776
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: someone else has already had that good idea. So I

777
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: google that good idea, no search results. That's when I

778
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: got even more excited. I went, Okay, I'm actually getting

779
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: right now, like excited. My heart is racing as I

780
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: talk about this, because this is about how you sneak

781
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: up at an on an idea, like trying to catch

782
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: a greasy pig, and you're just like, okay, there it is.

783
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: Let's not sing it too soon. Let's not just throw

784
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: some BS cliche stuff on this idea. And for a

785
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: whole day I didn't sing still feel like You're Man.

786
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: I didn't make a note with it because I knew

787
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: that whatever I sang, I was gonna start getting attached

788
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: to and I don't want to get attached to a

789
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: dumb idea for still feeling that man, so now I

790
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: just have sheets of paper and I'm typing all different

791
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: ideas about still feel like you're man, and I don't

792
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: just think. And then I was in the shower and

793
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: I was like, could I do it like a Prince ballad?

794
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: I still feel lack you man? You know no, that's

795
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna be shallow. Okay, don't don't even sing it. Don't

796
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: even sing it. And then I'd already had written this idea,

797
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: this chord changes, and then one day I went in

798
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: the studio and it was the greatest luck in the

799
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: world that this one idea that I'd written musically locked

800
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: in would just still feel like your man thing. And

801
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: it became this like were I called it ancient Japanese

802
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: R and B. If you listen to it, it's like

803
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: super staccato and clean. Didn't do like I've never heard

804
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: anything like it come from me. And so for the

805
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: next three days I did nothing but enter like this.

806
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain, but it's true. If you can

807
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: feel it, you're a little bit not on earth. You're

808
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: like half of you is in another place. And for

809
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: three days I did nothing but bring this song into

810
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: my life, and I listened to a lot of Marvin Gay.

811
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: There's definitely like some Marvin Gay thing happening in the

812
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: tune that I didn't want to block. And when I

813
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: was done with it, now this really interesting jam that's

814
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: like hopeful but also like has the saddest line I've

815
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: ever written. I literally cried when I wrote I still

816
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: keep your shampoo in my shower and you want to

817
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: wash your hair. That's the saddest lyric I've ever written

818
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: in my life. Think of how much desperation is in

819
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: that line. She's not coming to wash her hair at

820
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: your house. It's over. But the idea of keeping the

821
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: torch lit, where you say, well, I'm keeping it there,

822
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, there's like his dog in Japan,

823
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: and dog had an owner. The owner would go to

824
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: the train every day, and the dog would follow the

825
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: owner to the train and then be there at the

826
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: exact time the owner came back from work off the train.

827
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: The dog would be waiting on the train platform. Then

828
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: one day the owner died, and the dog still waited

829
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: at that platform for his owner for years until the

830
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: dog passed away. I love that story. It is true.

831
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: There's a statue of the dog where the dog once

832
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: stood himself and I very much in breakups feel like

833
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: the statue of that dog, not even the dog, I

834
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: feel like the statue of the dog. It's a fantastic story.

835
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad this all

836
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: worked out to where he could come in the day

837
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: I came back from the show, I was like, man,

838
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, some of this record sounds like music that

839
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: we would play, you know, in this format. And I

840
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: went and listen. I'm not always the most popular guy

841
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: traditionally in this format, just because I do things all

842
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: outside of the box, but I was like, man, some

843
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: of this record. There a couple of songs on there

844
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: in the Blood they're rolling on, rolling on home for sure. Yeah.

845
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: I was like, this is exactly what it is, and

846
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: it's even more traditional than some of the things being

847
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: played now. And so I was like, hey, why aren't

848
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: we playing it? And so I played it and get

849
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: screamed at, and you know, it the whole thing. But

850
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: now here we come full circle and you've had a

851
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: little time and some other stations and other people have

852
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: played it, and I think it's been embraced really well

853
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: by people outside and with you to thank for it.

854
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. If you had played

855
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: that song in the Blood without telling people that it

856
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: was me, would they have objected? Now? Right? But this

857
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 1: is the truth thing. I can handle it. No, No,

858
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: almost nobody. I say almost, man, Almost nobody objected that

859
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: listen anyway. The only people that objected or radio people

860
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: got it. No listeners are like, this song's not country,

861
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: this song is not anything. They were like, wow, that's

862
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: a fantastic song, or wow, I love John Marry, but

863
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: we don't play John Marry. That's what they're saying. That's

864
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: what it was, just the thing from the inside. Sure

865
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: it wasn't people that wouldn't embrace it, that listen, that

866
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: consume it. And that's the weird part. I try to

867
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: be a person of the people more so than a

868
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: person of the industry. I get you and that well,

869
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: that's why I feel so good. Like you said, outside

870
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: of the box to give a sense of how different

871
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: the world is. I haven't heard the phrase outside of

872
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: the box, no offense to you. I haven't heard the

873
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: phrase outside of the box in ten years. Everything's outside

874
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: of the box every possible, Like there's no box anymore,

875
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: you know. And I think what you're saying, is there's

876
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: the box here, Well, there's a box. Here's the box here,

877
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: and and you know, people have vested interest in keeping

878
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: the box taped up shut, you know, and I think

879
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: it's very interesting to say the least, that you're looking

880
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: at it going well, why do you have to keep

881
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: the box closed? Because everyone else listens to music differently.

882
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: I have friends who listening I put the Highway on.

883
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: You know. Highway has become like a pop station for

884
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: in the sense that like I work it, it's in

885
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: my presets, like there are times I love here in it,

886
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, And that just goes to show there's there's

887
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: like once the last time someone asked you what's on

888
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: your iPod? Once the last time someone said like, what

889
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: genre of music do you like? It's all completely disassembled,

890
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: and you know, thank you for being a champion of

891
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: stuff that's cool and fits and saying like, well, whatever

892
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: your notion is of it, you know, let's try not

893
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: putting that, you know, as a barrier in front of

894
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: the song. You know, we're gonna play it. We're playing

895
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: the Blood now, appreciate you coming by. I think it's

896
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: not not country, It's true, you know what I mean,

897
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm in Livingston, Montana. I live in Livingston, Montana. That's

898
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: pretty country. That's pretty western. That's pretty western. There's a

899
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: body in my backyard. Hey, do you want to Amy

900
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: gave me this picture in like two thousand and an

901
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: old six shooter buried in the ground for my birthday.

902
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: Amy painted this for me a long time ago. Hey,

903
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: like twelve or thirteen years ago. When did you only

904
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: have like one tattoo here? A long time ago? And

905
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: then I started doing silly stuff and it says, say

906
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: this is you don't get to keep it. No, I'm

Speaker 1: pro camps there too, also for the kids and stuff.

995
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: So you get involved in the city, get involved how

996
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: it works. Find the greatest place to eat, take the

997
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: crew there, We went to the movie the other night

998

999
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: But uh, we do everything together, so we're kind of

1000
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: like a family. Did you like rent out the whole theater? Yeah?

1001
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: Well it was. What was cool was in the mall.

1002
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: So I've never been in a mall. You read it

1003
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: out the whole mall. That's what I'm talking about. That's

1004
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 1: why he's the greatest. You read of the whole mall.

1005
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: It was. It was weird walking through there and everything

1006
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: was just dark. And then clothes I've never been there,

1007
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: but they were cool enough stay open after the show,

1008
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: and they were very sweet. So I saw you in

1009
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: Little Rock, and Arkansas's home for me. It's where I

1010
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 1: grew up, born and raised. And so I thought, Okay,

1011
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to Little Rock, I'm gonna watch Garth.

1012
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: And you did something I've never seen in the show before,

1013
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: and it was to me, it was the coolest thing

1014
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: I've ever seen at any concert period. You started if

1015
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Never Comes, You took the guitar off, you didn't

1016
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: play guitar. Then you stopped singing and you just stood there.

1017
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: You didn't play you didn't sing, and the entire arenas

1018
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: saying if tomorrow never comes, that was the most amazing

1019
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen before. I'm telling you, I've said it.

1020
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: It's not out of humbleness, man, it's it's not out

1021
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 1: of you know whatever, it's it's the truth. I don't

1022
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: think I need to show up at one of these shows.

1023
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: These people come, they are ready, and they're they're gonna

1024
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna party with you or without you, man, so

1025
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: you might as well just hang on. But yeah, that's

1026
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: the Arkansas, especially if you saw The Last Night in Arkansas,

1027
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: That's that's why you get into this whole dream there.

1028
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: That was phenomenal. Now was that because I was the

1029
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: Last Night in Arkansas? Was that a really good show?

1030
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: Where do you think about everywhere? No? No No, no, well,

1031
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: you know we had a Thursday, Friday Saturday and felt

1032
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 1: lucky for the Thursday Friday. It was fantastic. They were great,

1033
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: and then Saturday came along, and then there's just that

1034
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: that thing that you go, oh my god, this is

1035
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: this is what A laid awake and dreamed about when

1036
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: I was in college, you know, because these things come

1037
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: few and far between. This is a great way to

1038
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: end the year and just fabi us and we hadn't

1039
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: been there in twenty three years, you know, so it

1040
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: was it was good to see those people again, see

1041
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: some of the faces that you remember, but see a

1042
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: lot of young kids too. Do you hear me? Yellen?

1043
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: He was loud, I was crazy. Yeah, I thought you

1044
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: were girls first two or three years. That was definitely.

1045
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks is in with us. You're doing the world tour,

1046

1048
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,279

1049
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: want her to be and more and uh school because

1050
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, the people ask what's the difference between touring

1051
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: now and touring? Then a little difference is Trisha Yearwood,

1052

00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: stage together. So it's good. So the album Man Against

1057
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: the Machine, you know, you can come out and I've

1058
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: been to the show, so for those that haven't been,

1059
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 1: you should go because it's freaking awesome. And I will

1060
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: say this, and we say this on the airline, is

1061
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: you don't play the entire new album. And I think

1062
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: that's cool of you, because you know, the people want

1063
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: to hear the hits you do. You'd play a couple

1064
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: of new songs. It was. It was great when we

1065
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: were there, you played Mom Yeah. But so you you know,

1066
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: it's it's like anything else. When No Fences came out,

1067
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, we had one album which was you know,

1068
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: the original Garth Brooks, So we played most of that

1069
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: and we'd play one or two off No Fences. And

1070
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: then when Ropin come out, you play one or two

1071
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: off the end, you play all of No Fences, and

1072
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: and so it just keeps going. And so nothing's any

1073
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: different now on your song selection than it was then.

1074
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: It just h I'm I'm the guy that goes to

1075
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: concert still. I still go see the King, I still

1076
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: go see James Taylor, see these guys. And when I

1077
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: go there, I want to hear their old stuff. That's

1078
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: that's what I paid my ticket for. So to go

1079
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: in and have somebody dump a whole new album that

1080
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: I don't know yet on me, it's just not my

1081
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: concert thing. So we we put in the time to

1082
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: make sure we bring all the old stuff, and I

1083
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: people want to hear the new stuff. They'll bring their

1084
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: signs and you you'll play off that which happened at

1085
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: that show. Someone brought a sign and you were like,

1086
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: all right, cool, I'm gonna play it. So if someone's

1087
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: listening down, they haven't downloaded the album from your website, Like,

1088
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 1: give me a couple of the new songs that you're like, Okay,

1089
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: these are new Garth Brooks songs that I would love

1090
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: for everyone to hear if you had to pay a

1091
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: couple of new ones. Oh man, I gotta tell you.

1092
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: There's a there's a song called All American Comeback Kid

1093
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: on here that kills me. Like I said, we just

1094
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: went and saw American Sniper and All American Comeback Kid

1095
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: is the theme track from that thing. It's fabius, So

1096
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: enjoy that. Um other songs, Uh, shoot, there's there's a

1097
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on there. They're liking it. All varies

1098
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: so much, but she's tired of boys cold like that,

1099
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: things like that. Just there's there's a lot to pick

1100
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: from on this album, very very varied album because it's

1101
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: a Nashville's album Garth Brooks is here with us. You're

1102
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: up for a seventh nomination for Entertainer of the Year,

1103
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: which no one's ever done before. And if the ACM's

1104
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: coming up, and you know, I have a reputation for

1105
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: not being completely politically correct, and they always say, don't

1106
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: pick favorites whenever you do this, and don't don't pick

1107
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: who you think is going to win. And you're not

1108
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna say it because you're a humble guy. But if

1109
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: you don't win, it is a travesty. And here's why

1110
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to comment at all. No one's ever

1111
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: done what you're doing right now touring wise, in the

1112
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: history of country music in my life time, I've never

1113
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: seen someone go and sell out continuous cities in the

1114
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: same place like you're doing. And if that's not Entertainer

1115
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: of the Year, I don't know why they would even

1116
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: have the award. So that's all. He's keeping his mouth

1117
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: and you should. But that's how I feel about it.

1118
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: And as soon as they announced it, I was on

1119
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: the air and I said it that morning. I'm not

1120
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: saying it because you're in front of my face. I'm

1121
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: saying it because I've never seen in my lifetime of

1122
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: seeing people tour and do shows and you know, put

1123
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 1: out music. I've never seen what you're doing now happen

1124
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: anywhere else ever. Well, and not only is he selling out,

1125
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: but your energy, Like that's what I can't get over

1126
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: is we were there, yeah, the last night of Arkansas,

1127
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: so you've already played there, right, but then you are

1128
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: running around that stage like owning it and there's all

1129
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff like you. I'm like, where does he

1130
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: get this energy? I don't get it, Like I need

1131
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: whatever you have, like I need it. Okay, I'm gonna

1132
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: try me here and tell you there is something that

1133
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: we are the best at. We're the best of anybody

1134
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: that's ever done it. Rock pop doesn't matter who having fun.

1135
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: Oh and that's another thing that I will say about

1136
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: your people when you're saying wheat and I love that,

1137
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: like collectively. I love when you went around and you

1138
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: were like, you know what, each person on that stage

1139
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: with you, You're like, he's been with me for twenty years.

1140
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: He's been with me because yeah, they're great guys. So

1141
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: the Rookie and the group's been with us. We just

1142
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: celebrated twenty years last. That's the yeah, I mean, that's

1143
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: the guy go with you the least twenty. These guys

1144
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: are great, man, and there, and they are so entertaining

1145
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,479
Speaker 1: and they have a ball and it's it's nothing because

1146
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: you know, we play an arena. We play it all

1147
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: the way around, and you can't be two places at once.

1148
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: You can on the video screen, I guess, but you

1149
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: depend on these guys like your right arm and left

1150
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: arm to take care of one side of arena. What

1151
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: you got one and then you switch or you do

1152
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: it together. And these guys are these guys are really

1153
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: having fun. And and I believe I'm grateful. I believe

1154
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: in the nineties I didn't take anything for granted. I

1155
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: really do. But I gotta tell you all a thousand

1156
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: times more grateful for this run, just to get to

1157
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: do it again. So you talk about the nineties, and

1158
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: we meet a lot of new artists to come in

1159
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: and we get to hear them. What was like to

1160
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: come up for you? And was there any like, oh man,

1161
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: this guy, this is not good for country music when

1162
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: you came in because you were different, Like did you

1163
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: get a lot of that too when you first started? Sure,

1164
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: it's weird to kind of become the traditionalist. I mean,

1165
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: that's that's really strange that you're the guy with steals

1166
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: fiddles when when you started out you were the you know,

1167
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: the you were the the guy that wasn't the traditionalist

1168
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: sou Country music changes. All music changes, and it keeps

1169
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: going through its phases, all of it good. Because if

1170
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: we don't have change, man, it's gonna get stagnant. And

1171
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: the truth is, I'm sure Haggard Jones, which are my

1172
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: guys which I worship and love, said, oh Garth Brooks,

1173
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: what a punk? You know, That's just that's just how

1174
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: it is. Did you hear, man, Garth Brooks is running

1175
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: country music. Did you ever hear that when you were

1176
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: young guys starting out and you got so big? Yeah?

00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,520

1183
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: You you you take it like a grain of salt

1184
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: and go. Do they have a point? If not, let

1192
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: what was your plan in life before you became like

1193
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:33,439
Speaker 1: the great? My plan in life was to somehow get

1194
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: to do this for a little. It was always You're

1195
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: always going to be some sort of writer. Before I'm

Speaker 1: always no, no no, no, I want to be a professional athlete.

1197
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: And the only thing that stopped me was my athletic

1198
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: ability or lack of I guess so that that stopped me.

1199
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: How good were you in until a point? Um? Never good?

1200

1203
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: When you go to Padres camp, it's I'm a huge fans,

1204
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna geek out on you. First sec. When

1205
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: you go to Padre's camp, was it like, uh, crazy

1206
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: to stand in with those professional athletes and see just

1207
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: how good they are. They had you, they had you

1208
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: so well coached. It wasn't the fact whether you get

1209
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: hit it or not. It was where you were going

1210
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: to hit it where they weren't. And that that's the

1211
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: toughest part of baseball. Making contact. You can do that,

1212
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: you know pretty much. You know. Of course I never

1213
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: got to face to Johnson's or anything, but you know,

1214
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: my first first pitch I saw it was over ninety

1215
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: five miles an hour, and you're ready for it. But

1216
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: it's hitting at where it's not, where they're not. It's

1217
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: the toughest part. So you were able to hit ninety

1218
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: five mile part festiball, Yeah, I'm not very hard, but yeah,

1219
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: and just the fact to touch it, yeah, they were.

1220
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: They were sweet to me. So I I think I

1221
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: carried my back back myself about three times in my

1222
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: whole time with the Padres. So I was proud of that.

1223
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: But getting on a base was tough. I'm have been

1224
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: my speed or lack of it that kept me from

1225
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: that too. When you get thrown at a first from

1226
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: the outfield. Here a refrigerator, you know. Garth Brooks in

1227
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: with us right now. What do you do You're on

1228
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: the road, you know all day long. What do you

1229
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: do for fun in the daytime? Um, I hang out

1230
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: with hang out with the guys. When I get back here,

1231
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: I do things to try and kill myself. Chainsaw, tractor,

1232
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I love that stuff. So get out

1233
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: and just pull fence or just cut roads, run a

1234
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: doze or all that stuff that's fun to do. And

1235
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: then getting to write again. Just starting to trust your

1236
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: pen again. I didn't do that very much on this

1237
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: first album. But starting to get to write again, starting

1238
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: to get to see Kent Blaisie's face every day, starting

1239
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: to get to see these younger kids faces every day

1240
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: and see the dream in their face like when I

1241
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: first got here. That's that's infectious. So this is something

1242
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,439
Speaker 1: that I haven't done myself in years because I felt

1243
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: like it's very unprofessional. It's super unprofessional. But would you

1244
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: sign a guitar for me? Make it out to me? Well? Sure? Now?

1245
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: Is it? Am I stepping over the line of being cool?

1246
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, You've been very sweet to me.

1247
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: If you want the you know, we've we've got them

1248
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: all in serious, I don't want the one I played

1249
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: in Arkansas. Theyre not you were there. I'll get that.

1250
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: Stop it, stop stop it, like I seriously just got

1251
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: you know how the person walks in the house after

1252
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: a home makeover and they're like, oh my goodness, my

1253
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: house has been made over. That's the feeling I just

1254
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: got inside my bones, like I had goosebumps inside my body.

1255
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: I felt the goosebumps from yes, from you. Now, you

1256
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't make that up right and just go buy one

1257
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: real quick and go. I'm kidding, I wouldn't know where

1258
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: that guitar. Wait thing, Okay, I'm so like emotionally confused.

1259
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: Right now? Do we need to go to break? So

1260
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: if I bring one in, would you? Would you make

1261
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: it out to me? I'll be happy to you, but

1262
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather give you one that I play. Well, I

1263
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: don't understand, I don't understand, I don't know what I

1264
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: don't know by that one. So you're really gonna give

1265
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: me one that you play? Or is this another joke? No?

1266
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: No, no no, no, no, I'll get you one. I'll get

01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: doing another show and you'll see that one and I'll

1269
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: give it to you during the show. Oh that way,

1270
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: you'll know that way, there's no one. I believe you two.

1271
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: I did my heart hurt. I don't. It's confused on

1272
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: what's happening? Are you really pull the mask off of

1273
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: this guy? Kill it back? Let me break it down.

1274
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: You are going to get a guitar signed by Garth

1275
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: and played by Garth. We just don't know for sure.

1276
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Unprofessional that I asked, I'm asking you no, I don't

1277
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: think so, because honestly, you have a collection of your

1278
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: it is condo. He's got a collection of guitars hanging

1279
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: on the wall that are signed by all your favorite people,

1280
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: John Mayer, Cheryl Crowe, Dirk Extantly, like a lot of things.

1281
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: So I think adding guarths to the collection is perfect.

1282
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm taking them hold down and just putting guards up.

1283
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: How big it's just now. Sometimes I'll get it as

01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: a gift for someone, Someone will give me with all
