1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: When you became Keith haven'tone rolled through some number one 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: here two thousand and one, your first number one, but 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: for the grace of God's here a little bit of 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: is I again after the years of struggle on a 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: label to have a hit? Did it feel like a 6 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: relief or did it feel like this is amazing because 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: there's a difference. Was it like, oh my god, thank you? 8 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: Was it like whoa, That's what I'm talking about only above? 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: It was surreal to have a number one song in 10 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: America was just crazy. Remember that day like it was yesterday. Really, 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, twenty years ago, you still remember it 12 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: like that your first Yeah, I remember exactly the house 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: I was at, what I was doing? Who told me everything? 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: Like detail? Because it was too surreal. I was like 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: number one, like the number one most played song and 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: country radio in America? Truly? Really did your life change 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: after that? After you had a number one? Okay, since 18 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: you could say it, um, I felt like, okay, now 19 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: we got a chance to get some more music going. 20 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: And the next single off to that, I think was 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: Where the Black Top Bands, which is weird because it peaked. 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: I was looking at numbers. It wasn't a number one, 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: But that, to me is one of the songs I 24 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: think of when I think of you and your catalog 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: is where the black Top ends. It wasn't even number one, 26 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: which shows you not all number ones or career songs, 27 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: and not all career songs are number one songs. Even 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand one two thou two, did that song 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: feel big like a number one song where the black 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Top ends? I can't remember that that when you can't 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: remember now, I can't remember that. I mean, I remember 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: making that a whole album with Matt Rawlings, and it 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: was the first time where I was in a studio 34 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: and having gone through all of the famous producers and 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: realizing none of it works for me. It just I 36 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna do. Um. There was a 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: guy running Capital Records at the time called Pat Quigley, 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: and he was the president. And I used every proper 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: famous producer and none of it was working. And I 40 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: went into Patt and I said, can I just I 41 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: had just done a session with Matt Rowlings for somebody else. 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: The two of us were playing on it, and I 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: clicked with him and I really liked him a light, 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: and I said, could I just go and record some 45 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: songs with this guy, because I think he can put 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: a good band together and we can just make a 47 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: record that sounds good. And he went, yeah, whatever. It 48 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: was very much that case of like go do whatever 49 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: you want to do. We're not that interest. You could 50 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: tell was whatever it's going to. So we went and 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: cut up the Grace God and like four or five songs, 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: and I took him in and played for him and 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: he goes, that sounds good. Just finished the record out. 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: It was no big deal. And we handed in the 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: record and it had its a love thing and I 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: want to be her everything. All the singles that came 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: out Grace God, Blacktop, all that stuff, um and put 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: out love It's a love Thing, and I think I 59 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: went to the number eighteen or something like, no, it's okay, 60 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: pretty good. They put out another song, I want to 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: Be Everything, and I got to top five or close 62 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: to it, and it wasn't It was okay. Everything was okay. 63 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: And then the label really focused on me and they 64 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: put out Grace a God and it did that and 65 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: I could feel everything changed after that. Whenever somebody like 66 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: you comes out two thousand two, here's a little clip 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: do you remember this one is vivid at your second 68 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: number one, you do everything about it. Recording it first time, 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: I'd work with Dan half um working out at sound 70 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: kitchen at Franklin and the putting them, putting a band 71 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: together and the set, the whole session. I remember it 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: vividly because it got magical. Does a guy like Dan 73 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: half challenge you? So? Uh. I was going to do 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: the next record on my own um Golden Road, and 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I had already done six six sides of that record, 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: including who were who were wanting me? I put the 77 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: band together, I chose the studio, I chose the engineer. 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: I put it all together. And then someone said, you know, 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: you should try and work with Dan Half and I went, no, 80 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to work with him because and they went, well, 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: he's a guitar player. I mean, I'm so not going 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: to work with the guitar player who's gonna tell me 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: what to play, you know. I don't want that. I've 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: been down this road before. And they're like, we'll just 85 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: give it a shot, you know. And I met with Dan, 86 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: and this is a true story, and I was really 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: a compliment to Dan. I met with Dan.

We'd cut half the record, it's already done. 92 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: And Dan says, Okay, this song feels great. Um, I 93 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: think we should use this drummer. And I got already 94 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: got the drummer.

I think 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: because of all those writing sessions, you know, and when 122 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: you write with people where it gets out whether you 123 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: can really sing, really play, whether you know about country music, 124 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: if you're legit or just some poser really so, I 125 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: think those sort of guitar pool sessions of people's houses 126 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: going to the Bluebird, people knew I was for real. 127 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: I was watching some of your performance with her.

Really, you 172 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: learn from him? Yeah? Yeah, what do you learn from 173 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: John Mayre? Um to make the song your own? You know, 174 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: you gotta remember I still came from cover band land, 175 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: which John did not, And so John approaches it as 176 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: a pure artist and makes this song on his own. 177 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Because I remember saying him, now, the first didn't go 178 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: like that, and he's like, yeah, but that's how I'm 179 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna sing it right on? Of course? Yeah. Is there 180 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: a gamesmanship when you have two people that are so again, 181 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: I'll just talk about the instrument for a second, so 182 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: to be old, they're so proficient at their instrument.

Um, 191 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: I love the conversation, the musical conversation that happens, And 192 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: the most important thing for me is spontaneity is just 193 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, you can rehearse, yeah yeah, yeah, but being 194 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: in the moment and having that musical conversation with each other. 195 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: This is everything. You ever meet someone you like, man, 196 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome, and you're like, it's not really 197 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: r really as good as that's a hot or as 198 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: as you know. I don't want you to say. Some 199 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: people don't have a collaborative heart. That's what it is. 200 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: They don't have a collaborative heart for whatever reason. They 201 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: just don't um collaborate that kind of They have that 202 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: thing of well, this is what I do, so you 203 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: do your thing, I'll do my thing, and I'm like, well, 204 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: let's do our thing. That's what I'm here for. On 205 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: the opposite side of that, whoever you collaborated with it, 206 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I didn't expect it to be as 207 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: warm and as a just a friendly collaboration, but holy crap, 208 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: we're in We're in it and it's rocking pink. I 209 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: think was that when we did one too many? Why 210 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: Why do you think you guys hit it off? Um? 211 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: I think our voices go together really well, and I 212 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: hope they would, but you never know until you hear it. 213 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: But she was just unbelievably um giving with that whole project, 214 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, for a song that she didn't write, to 215 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: be giving so much of her time and her effort 216 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: to the too. You know, we shot a video as well, 217 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: and then we shot footage which we can use in concerts, 218 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: so we have her projected on the screening concert. That's old, 219 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: time consuming and she was just amazing. Is it an 220 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: issue whenever you're with an artist like that, because they 221 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: also have their own music and their own singles and calendars, 222 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: and when they want to put out their own to 223 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: get pink on a song, do you go, Okay, well 224 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: maybe we can release to the single, maybe not, depending 225 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: on what your schedule is, right, I mean? Is that something? 226 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: Is that an issue that you deal with other artists? 227 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: Is something you have to consider? Yeah, for sure, because 228 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: sometimes it's at the time he's not gonna work. You know. Yeah, 229 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: it's great, the single sounds really great, but we're not 230 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: going to release it at the right time. I was 231 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: reading on the internet that you bowl? Are you some 232 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: of the stuff I didn't know and could be crap? 233 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: Are you a bowler? Yeah? Are you a good bowler? 234 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm Okay, how do I not know that? We've never 235 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: talked about it or been bowling? True? But where do 236 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: where do you? Where do you bowl? I haven't bowled 237 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: in a long time. It's just one of those things 238 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: that I happened to be not bad at, sort of 239 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: out of the gate. Is that I hand coordination that 240 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: guitar players have. You know your highest game is what 241 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: you call it a game? Yeah? No, I don't know. 242 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: Um uh, you know to have an average Yeah, it's 243 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: not grabbing me. Three hundreds of perfect game right, definitely 244 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: could crack no, but definitely could crack two. You play pool, Yeah, 245 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: you go to that. I think this mandatory when you' 246 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: from Australia, you've got to play pool? Is that a thing? 247 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Very much like all the pubs and they all had 248 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: pool tables? Say sign of a misspent youth. We'll think 249 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: about that. Though. You're you're good at bowling, you're good 250 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: at pool. I mean is that you're obviously good at guitar? 251 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: Which one made you good at which because you do 252 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: have the hand eye coordination there. It's right, it's not 253 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: a coincidence. All those are very hand eye coordinated. Do 254 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: you think being a good guitar player helps you be 255 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: a good bowler. I suck at base but basketball I 256 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: cannot get that thing in the hoop. So that goes 257 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: that theory. You sure or false? You were once a 258 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: road guitarist for a bit for Brooks and Dune. No, 259 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: never one of the many things on Wikipedia. It's not true. 260 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: I didn't think the bowling was true. I'll be honest 261 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: with you to be false. So where did that story 262 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: come from? Do you know? Yeah, we toured with Brooks 263 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: and Done in two thousand and one and I came 264 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: out and played one song with them as a guitarist, 265 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: and I think that then from then on, yeah, I 266 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: was like the guy in the band. Well, what happened 267 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: was we were going to pull a prank on them, 268 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: and they had a guitar player in the band, Charlie. 269 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: I'vegotten his last name, Charlie. And he had his hat down, 270 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: really had a wore hat worked down super low, had 271 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: this like leopard print shirt and everything. And during the 272 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: tourists thinking I could probably masqueraders. I could probably pretend 273 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: to be him and the boys wouldn't even know. And 274 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: so during one of the shows, Charlie slipped out the 275 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: back while he was playing, I already had the same 276 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: clothes on, slipped right out and reclaimed his spot on 277 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: the stage and played an entire song, and then in 278 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the when the solo happened, Kicks goes, 279 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Charlie and I ran down the front was shredding right 280 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: in between kicks and running, and it took a bait 281 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: for them to realize I wasn't, but they did realize. 282 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: So I think that was where this room and got started. 283 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: What's like a Tuesday at your house? Like? And I 284 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: asked that because you and your wife exclusively are superstars. 285 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: When you're together, I feel like you're kind of normal. 286 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a weird situation. Like when I see 287 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: you two, if we're an event or something, I feel 288 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: like as a couple, you're quite approachable. Individually, it's different 289 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: because I feel like I know you and I could 290 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,359 Speaker 1: just come up to you. But individually I would say 291 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: you're superstar Keith Urban and she is superstar Nicole Kidman. 292 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: But together it's almost like a normal husband and wife. 293 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: And I have not seen that vibe with any other couple. 294 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: Usually it's different. It's like they're much more, they're much 295 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: less approachable together because there's so much more power there. 296 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: But it feels like you're a normal, normal married couple 297 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: at home. Is that true? You'd be doing a house 298 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: it's like super Nourmal. I saw her tell you once 299 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: that she was gonna stop and get some milk, and 300 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: I was like, you do that? What do you mean 301 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna get milk? Shouldn't someone be flying that in 302 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: and like flying the cow in the rock and roll? 303 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: And how how how do you guys maintain what do 304 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: you focus on to try to have normalcy in a 305 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: life that is abnormal? I mean, look love, genuine love 306 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: and genuine gratitude for what we get to do. Nick 307 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: has it. I have it, and I think it's we 308 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: were both raised in a similar thing to Australia's. Really 309 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Australia has a thing called a tall poppy syndrome. Every 310 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: as he knows about this, and it's if you get 311 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: too big in the in the South, they say when 312 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: you get above your raisin, right, they cut you down. 313 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: You get cut down. The poppy seed plan is another one. 314 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: The tall poppy gets So that's it. So it's the 315 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: it's the tall poppy syndrome where you you don't last 316 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: very long. If you're strutting around with this crazy ego 317 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: in Australia, you could cut down so fast, so you 318 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: just are always down to earth. You read the down 319 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: to earth, you're out of work. It's one of the two, 320 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: and it's it's put us in a really good place 321 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: to have a good life because of it. What are 322 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: you grateful for with her as a person? How does 323 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: she make you better? I'm sure?

But what is it about her 331 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: as a human that you appreciate so much that brings 332 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: a different side of you out that hadn't been exposed yet? Um? 333 00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: She really loves, genuinely loves and has real empathy, compassion, 334 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: caring and love like I've never never experienced before. Do 335 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: you ever watch her act and go, holy crap, that's 336 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: so good? Or do you see it all the time 337 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: where you just expected to be great. She's so good 338 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know anything about acting. Sometimes people say 339 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: the bad actor. I'm like, I'll all looks the same 340 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: to me. However, I was watching on Hulu with Nine 341 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Strangers the whole thing she's she's so good in that 342 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: that you then go, okay, that's good acting. Like and 343 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: she is nailing these series. Is if she's in a series, 344 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: I'll watch it. It's just to that point now where 345 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: if your wife is in a series, even if I 346 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: don't know what it's about, the history of poop, I'm 347 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: going to I'm going to watch it because she has 348 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: showed that she's awesome in these things. Do you do 349 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: you talk about projects with her? Does she talk about 350 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: projects with you and them together and like should we 351 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: do this? Yeah? Yeah, because we have to talk about 352 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: scheduling and where it is and how's this going to work? 353 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: And then of course a lot of the times reading 354 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: scripts with her, you know, this is the being the 355 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: Riccardo's which is the Lasilla Ball film that's coming out. 356 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Sulkin wrote most amazing scripts, and just getting to 357 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: read these scripts is something that is it's surreal you 358 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: read with her sometimes? Yeah, do you ever want to 359 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: do that? Especially? No, I have zero interest in acting 360 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: like none zero. Does she ever hear a song of 361 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: yours and go? Yeah? She doesn't have to. I can 362 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: tell you can. Here's the thing that's more important, and 363 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: you may be able to relate to this. I've realized 364 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: that whoever I play a song for, and I've had 365 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: you at the house and i've played you things before, 366 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: what how you react that song tells me a lot 367 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: about the song, But what tells me more is how 368 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: I feel planet for you. I've learned so much about 369 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: how I feel about playing somebody a song, whether it's 370 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: you or whether it's Nick. Because you know, she may 371 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: go I love that, and inside I'm thinking I did 372 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: until I play eat it, and I'm not feeling so 373 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: good about it now. So I want to figure out 374 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: what's going on. What is your relationship with singles, EPs, albums? 375 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: Because it's a new land out there, it's a tension. 376 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Spans are different. Sorry what exactly, but it is getting 377 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: that way right? Yeah? So how are you feeling these 378 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: days about twelve fourteen track albums? Why are do you 379 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: see you changing? How you're just you know, doing Keith 380 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: Urban distribution of music. I I still like to think 381 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: it comes down to quality, the quality of something because 382 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: people go, oh, people want shorter, the shorter that, And 383 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: I'm like, only because a lot of what's out there 384 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: it's just not great. It's okay, it's not great, and 385 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: it's not great because it's having to be churned out 386 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: at such a fast right now, because it's content content, 387 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: content content quick. You have it with your show, and 388 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: you you're trying to maintain a level of excellence with 389 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: this often unrealistic demand for the amount of it. You're 390 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: trying to walk a line. How can I give you 391 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: the best most exactly? That's exactly it? And I miss 392 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: a lot because sometimes I do most and sometimes I 393 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: do best, but I often don't get it right at 394 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: the same time. And I think we're in this a 395 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: lot in our society right now. The speed of everything 396 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: and the and the demand for more and more and 397 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: more and more quality takes time. Not always, but most 398 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: of the time it takes. It takes a beat. Do 399 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: you feel pressure from at this stage of your career 400 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: labels managers like, hey, let's go, we need another something 401 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: from you, or are you now, like guys, you'll get 402 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: it when you get it. Yeah, I've never felt that. 403 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: I've never felt I will say my record company Capital Record, 404 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: So I've been with a long time. I've never ever 405 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: felt anything but support for for what I do. They've 406 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: never given me like dragging the record out of my hand, 407 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: demanding this song with that song. Ever, they've been amazingly supportive. 408 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Do you need a teleprompter ever? For lyrics? You've got 409 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: so many number one songs? Do you ever need a 410 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: reminder of words? Do you have to refresh or are 411 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: you just there? Yeah, refresh it if it's gonna be 412 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: an old song. But it's I have a sick memory 413 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: for lyrics of songs. It's crazy you bring up I 414 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: I brought it up. But we talked about it with 415 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: Ronnie Donn, who I've oddly become friends with and we're 416 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: opposite in many ways, but we were. We were texting 417 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: last night like that's he's there's a big picture when 418 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: you walked into this guest house.

But Ronnie has and I don't 421 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: think you would care if I shared this. He has 422 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: someone in his ear the whole time on a microphone 423 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: side stage, telling him every lyric every song. He's had 424 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: it for a long time. He's just like, I don't 425 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: want to forget, and I don't have I don't have 426 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: a good memory.

But 431 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: you have it all there for the most part. Boy, 432 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: he'd want to be on good terms of that guy, 433 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't he.

I kind of have a relationship with 439 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: every songwriter on this song, which is pretty cool.

Or was it a room that came together? 444 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: It didn't come together. I got sent this song as 445 00:22:52,400 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: a finished song, two verses, chorus done, and uh. I 446 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: got pitched the song from Roxy King and I heard 447 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: it and I was like, mmmmm, I don't know.

And so I passed on 450 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: the song. And then about two weeks later, I woke 451 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: up one morning singing this chorus in my head and 452 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is That's that wild Hurt Songs really 453 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: special chorus. I listened to the song again and I went, man, 454 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: that chorus is so freaking good. But the verses don't 455 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: say anything to me.

And I mean 491 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: that the most complimentary way. You could go out and 492 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: just put on a solid show and be Keith Urban 493 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: and people will be blown away, but you don't. Your 494 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: hair is on fire for no other reason than you 495 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: live that your art is your hair being on fire 496 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: during a show. Yeah, yeah, well I only know one 497 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: volume to get out there and play at there, isn't 498 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's real passion and the audience knows it, 499 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: they're like, that's legit. That's a guy surfing on the 500 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: wave of not thinking about it, but it's really happening 501 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: and I can feel it. It's it's true. It's in 502 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: the moment. Do you lose yourself in shows? Definitely? Yeah, 503 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: it's it's a perfect balance of being completely present and 504 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: completely lost in the moment all simultaneously. Do you ever, 505 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll drive and I'll get somewhere I'll be like, 506 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: holy crap, I don't know how I got here, Like 507 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: subconscious has completely taken over. And then I feel unsafe 508 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you're telling me people are driving, and 509 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: then I start thinking about other gets. You are doing 510 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: what I did, not thinking and driving places. But does 511 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: that ever happen in the show where you're three songs 512 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: later and you're like, dear god, how does that even 513 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: get here? No? No? I mean maybe no, not really, 514 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: not even a moment. I was thinking about a moment 515 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: and a song. Um no, because I don't know. I'm 516 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: just super present, but I'm also thinking. I'm taking a 517 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: multi multiprocessing right, which I think you do it extremely 518 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: well on your show. You're listening to me, you're checking 519 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: that out, you're thinking about other things, you're probably thinking 520 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: about some other things you gotta do, and it's all 521 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: multi processing all at once, and you totally here as well. 522 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm completely present, but I think I'm 523 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: good at being present will while also delegating my mind 524 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: to do other things. The same good way to put it, Yeah, 525 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: what do you say on that microphone when you walk 526 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: over that nobody hears? You know, the microphone. We're talking 527 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: to it, all, right, do you have one of those? 528 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: What do you?

Because for those that don't know 531 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: some of my friends that have them, call them. We'll 532 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: call it a b mike right to the word rich, 533 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: Like we're talking to the rich Mike. If you're going 534 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: to that microphone, what are you saying in the middle 535 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: of a show? Why would it might be called that? 536 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: But I have no idea, but that's what that's the 537 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: only thing I know it has. Right, Oh, that's weird. 538 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: I've never heard that expression. Oh you haven't. No, I 539 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: never heard that. Well I don't say it, but that's crazy. 540 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: So we stole it from Kenny Chesney when I was 541 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: on two with him and I saw he had one, 542 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, that's perfect because everyone's got in 543 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: ears and you can actually talk to everyone. Are going 544 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: to get out over the top. You're not at all 545 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: not that, Mike. What do you say? Is it like, hey, guys, 546 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna switch songs or we're gonna play in a 547 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: different or on my throat? Her? Like what it could 548 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: be something to my guitar tech, could be something to 549 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: the monitor guy, could be something to the band. It 550 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: could be something to security. It could just be really 551 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: like you see something out there. For sure, security has 552 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: ears in and they can hear that. I know that 553 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: it's gonna get to where it's going to get to. 554 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: If maybe not directly, someone will really the message. But yeah, 555 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: if I feel like there's just heavy handed security at 556 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: a place, not letting people have fun or anything like that, 557 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: make sure it gets taken care of. Definitely, of all 558 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: the things that you do. As we wrap this up, 559 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: one of my favorites is when you and I haven't 560 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: seen it in a while because you haven't been on 561 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: the road as normal.
