00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 4: They couldn't drive them to the interview, and.

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: Not because it expired, but because they're just not old

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: enough to have a driver's license. Yeah, he's fifteen, and

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: so I get there are always teen stars, but you

00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: just don't expect because Maddick is a cool He's a

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 3: cool fifteen year old. Yeah, you just don't expect it

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: to be bluegrass. Could you imagine yourself coming into an

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: interview at fifteen years old like this, Like how would

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: you conduct yourself at fifteen?

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Like I thought of me at fifteen, I'm like, dude,

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: I would sound like an idiot. Yeah, I don't know.

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't think about it like that. My

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: whole thing was he's playing such traditional old school music

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: like it is it's a bluegrass kid that comes in

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: and we talk about way later on, like how he

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: loved playing basketball and how good he was.

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: That was on Mike right.

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like he's just a regular kid who played bluegrass.

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: But you're right, he's fifteen years old. His dad came

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: with him, but his dad didn't come with him just

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: because he's his dad. His dad's like when he blew

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: up online, he was already playing shows, but when he

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: blew up online, his dad was playing a lot of

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: stuff with him because his dad's an instrumentalist, a musician.

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, I really enjoyed it.

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Good kid.

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: I feel like he's a good kid. Now what they

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: have to do is make sure he stays a good kid. Yeah,

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: once you get about seventeen to twenty, those are the

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: dicey years.

40
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,240

56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: before my tour, and then you know, just had a

57
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: conflict with your flu and my tour.

58
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: So now it's now.

59
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: I saw that speaking of your tour, I saw like

60
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,960

62
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,000

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cup fun.

64
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I've never been over the pond. I was

65
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: literally before this. Maybe my dad were on the way

66
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: to you know, go get my passport photo.

67
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: You don't have it yet, No, I do not.

68
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't have my license. I have zero identification of

69
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: any sort any kind. So yeah, I was on the

70
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: way to get that, and then you know, realized we

71
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: didn't have enough time.

72
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: So wit, So you didn't take the picture.

73
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: No, we didn't get to.

74
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: I was taking a left and then I was like,

75
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I probably don't have enough time, so popped.

76
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: Alright, think about a passport picture.

77
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: M M.

78
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: It always sucks.

79
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, that's not good because you got to.

80
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: Like stand at like a against a white wall.

81
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: You're not a lot of smile.

82
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: Or you look like you're about to murder someone. We're

83
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: about to commit a crime or something.

84
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: Gee, that's terrible. I'm not excited for it. Now where

85
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: excited to go? Honestly? I heard we're going to Dublin,

86
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: aren't we.

87
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ireland and just like that type of stuff over

88
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: there is just going to be super cool. Like I've

89
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: always wanted to just you know, just go to Europe

90
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: in general and just you know, scope it out. So

91
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm a huge golfer as well, So if we get

92
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: to go play like Saint Andrew's or something, that would

93
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: be kind of cool as well.

94
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll have time, but.

95
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: That's what you make time for exactly. I would you

96
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: get to go to Dublin every week exactly? I mean

97
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, over there all the time. So

98
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: if I have like even like a few hours off.

99
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: I loved you know, catch a little catch a little

100
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: ride to mister old Saint Andrews. That'd be kind of cool.

101
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: Are you playing starting to be winter now? But what

102
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: are you playing a lot of golf?

103
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh? All the time?

104
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: Dude?

105
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Like I think we played twenty one rounds of golf

106
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: while I was on tour for two months.

107
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: And that's that's kind of unhealthy.

108
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, technically it's not unhealthy because you're getting you know,

109
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: fit doing it.

110
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 5: It.

111
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: Kind of I don't know by golf.

112
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: Well, if you're carding it, I don't know how fit

113
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: you're gonna get.

114
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, walk card, I definitely cart. Yeah, I'm not on

115
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: a show to do too exactly. I gotta stay rested

116
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: kind of. Yeah.

117
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: What's difficult is because we'd go play golf. You know,

118
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: I do stand up and we play golf, but the

119
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: sun would like wear me down really yeah, like you're

120
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: out in the sun, one of those big hats.

121
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: Well, just you just have.

122
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: To like, you know, you'd play eighteen and you like,

123
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: I'm not affected at all, but you get to the

124
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: venue to.

125
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: Be tired my goodness. Yeah. Yeah, well that's young.

126
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my perks that I'm just about to say,

127
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, perk being fifteen years old is you know,

128
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: the sun doesn't wear me down too bad, you know so,

129
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: I think for being as bad as a golfer as

130
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: I am, the twenty rounds didn't really help me become

131
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: a better golfer, but it definitely helped me, like take

132
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: my mind off of some things, because you know, while

133
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: you're on tour, you can, you know, kind of get

134
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: in your head about all kinds of different stuff and

135
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: just having those few hours to yourself or with a

136
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: few buddies to just you know, forget about everything. But

137
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: the next shot that you're taking, and it helps more

138
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: than people know for sure.

139
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: Your family come out on tour with you.

140
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely full family, mom, dad, sister, and they're all

141
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: working with me too, which is super fun. Like my dad,

142
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: you know who works with me, and my sister works

143
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: with me, and my cousin. My mom, I mean she

144
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of just chills.

145
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: You know.

146
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather hurt chill because I mean she deserves it.

147
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: She raised me so.

148
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

149
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: But he wants to know he's ready to go.

150
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: He's ready to go.

151
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Mom's like, I'll take a I'll take a step back,

152
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll let her have that for sure.

153
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: But like my cousin as well, so they all kind

154
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: of we all kind of work hand in hand, which

155
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: is super cool. And they're the only people on the

156
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: planet that'll never expect anything from me other than just maddics.

157
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: So that's why I love him the most.

158
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people if they didn't know your background

159
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: would be surprised that you have such a bluegrass history.

160
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean just with him, and you know, just

161
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: like my entire come up, I was I was kind

162
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: of born into it. Like he was a mandolin national

163
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: champion when he was like twelve, my dad you were Yeah, yeah,

164
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: he got to play with Bill Monroe on stage and

165
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So yeah, he's he's a legend. Unfortunately,

166
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: being left handed, I play everything every instrument right handed,

167
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: and it's kind of awkward. I'm not very fast picker,

168
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: but you know, I try my best. Mandolin such a

169
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: cool instrument. But yeah, my entire life I grew I

170
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: grew up on bluegrass music, and maybe if I didn't

171
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: love it as much as a kid, I'm kind of

172
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: like showing an appreciation for it.

173
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: What's the first instrument you got and how old were.

174
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: You first instrument I ever started playing, I'd say I

175
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: think it was piano.

176
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: I was like seven.

177
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: My mom wanted me to start on piano before I

178
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: did a stringed instrument, just so I can learn like

179
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: music theory and music like her learned how to read music.

180
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: She always wanted me to learn how to read music.

181
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: And yeah, shout out to Adam King, my piano teacher.

182
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: I took lessons for around like four years. Consistency. What's

183
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: the word consistently there? It is perfect, you know, fifteen

184
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: years old, homeschooled. I can't really say many words, but

185
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, piano was definitely number one. And then I

186
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: was like ten when I picked up guitar and like

187
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: COVID and stuff.

188
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, whenever you're learning piano, was it something that you

189
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: liked doing even at that age.

190
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: If I'm being completely honest with you, Bobby, absolutely, like

191
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: not at all at all. It was a complete like

192
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: forced like force. My mom had to force me to

193
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: do it. I love to sing, and I love to

194
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: sing it like church and like singing growing up, like

195
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: with my dad and stuff. But playing the piano and

196
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: playing like reading the reading the absolutely not you couldn't,

197
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: like you couldn't pay me to do it. But as

198
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: I grew older and started appreciating music a little bit

199
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: more and appreciating that girls appreciate music and that kind

200
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: of stuff, I would, you know, lean into it a

201
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: little bit more like, yeah, I can play, you know.

202
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: So are you happy now that you have that background

203
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: a piano?

204
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

205
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because it benefits me so much because like with

206
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: my band, I always felt like I didn't know what

207
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: I was talking about and then knowing having like right,

208
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: not necessarily not knowing what I was talking about, but

209
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: like they're so good at what they do and they

210
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: know like everything about music theory.

211
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: You know, they kind of put me in my place.

212
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: But knowing having that little bit of background a piano

213
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: makes me understand and that just you know, it's it's

214
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: it's very beneficial.

215
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: For sure.

216
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm super glad. Shout out mom, Thanks for shout out mom.

217
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for making me do it against

218
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: my will.

219
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: Shout outs mom, thank you.

220
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: Whenever you started playing guitar, were you super anxious to

221
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: get started on guitar? Was it like something you were

222
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: looking forward to, like you were graduating from piano?

223
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

224
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: And then I picked it up and realized my fingers

225
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: hurt really bad. I started taking I didn't like, he

226
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: plays guitar really well. And you know, I didn't really

227
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: have to get like a teacher, quote unquote, like I

228
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: had a teacher. But it's kind of you know, it

229
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: was like once a month. Maybe it's really not as

230
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: good as your dad exactly exactly. And I would just

231
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: I would just learn from him and pick stuff up

232
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: from him, and he would teach me things, and you know,

233
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: my hands would hurt all the time, and I didn't

234
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: want to play.

235
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to play. It was like I wanted to play,

236
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: but it hurt so bad. And that's it was. It

237
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: was a whole thing.

238
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: But once I started building those calluses, I mean I

239
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: played it all the time.

240
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: Well I played left handed, but I played left handed

241
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: really yeah awsome?

242
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: So he played this way?

243
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I played yeah this, Why do you flip

244
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: it if you're left handed?

245
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. When I picked it up.

246
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: When I picked up the guitar at ten years old,

247
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: my dad told me it was like, dude, if you

248
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: go to a party, exactly, what are the odds that

249
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: left handed guitar is going to be sitting on the

250
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: wall and there's a girl you want to umpress. And

251
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you're so right and so right.

252
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: He's so right, you know. And I was like, all right,

253
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll thug it out and learn it right handed. I mean,

254
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: it's now, I don't think I could switch, Like, I'm

255
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: so used to playing it right handed. I truly don't

256
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: think I could switch to playing it left handed. It

257
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: feels so weird.

258
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: The difficult things about being left handed.

259
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: And you'll know this first of all guitars right there's

260
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: no there are no other left handed guitars anywhere, and

261
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: people are playing songs and like if I didn't, I

262
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: don't bring mine.

263
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah I don't have one. Yeah, you don't get to play.

264
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: Or I'm like, uh GC, just I'm not telling somebody

265
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: what to play.

266
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

267
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: Ball gloves, ball, oh terrible like equipment in any sport

268
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: left handed sport.

269
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: Like literally, I remember I was.

270
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: I played baseball growing up, and that was the worst

271
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: because the gloves didn't look as cool like I remember,

272
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: like Wilson makes like really colorful like and that was

273
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: like the style like and I played outfield and I

274
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: was a pitcher and stuff like that and they made

275
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: really really colorful, like nice cool gloves for righties, but

276
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: for lefties they made nothing, just felders so huge thirteen

277
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: inch gloves that my eleven year old hand didn't fit

278
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: hit and I was I was mad, but you know,

279
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: I finally found me one and I still have it

280
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: to this day.

281
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: It's like my favorite glove and I use it all

282
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: the time, like you're one, It's my one glove.

283
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: Colorful left handed gloves.

284
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Oh it's not colorful, No, it's it's just hand.

285
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: It's basic. But you know, I like it a lot.

286
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: And now that I've grown up a little bit, I'm like, yeah,

287
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: this kind of looks much better than the pink and

288
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: blue and black and you know, the.

289
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: On I feel like and just watching the relationship that

290
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: you and your dad have even had just ear here,

291
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: absolutely like for you guys to grow up be dad

292
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 3: and son, to also be teacher and student, to also

293
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: be like mentor like that's a lot.

294
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 4: I feel like you guys are still like getting along.

295
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely absolutely.

296
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean I spend every day with them, you know,

297
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: and that's kind of like most kids, like a normal

298
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen year old, you know, you go to

299
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: school seven hours, you go to practice after maybe you

300
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: do another extracurricular and then you come home and spend

301
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: time with your parents, right, But for me, I mean,

302
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean I spend every day with them, every day,

303
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: every hour, every minute, I mean pretty much, you know,

304
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: because I'm on the road all the time, and even

305
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: when I'm home, I don't really do much, you know,

306
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm more I just like to chill, so I'm with

307
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: them a lot. And surprisingly, you know, I mean, of

308
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: course we get on each other's nerves, and I mean

309
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: that's just the way it's going to be. But you know,

310
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: we're very very close relationship and I take a lot

311
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: of you know, that's that means a lot to me,

312
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: you know, because like having your family close, I mean

313
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: is so beneficial, especially in the music industry. Music industry

314
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: is such like a cutthroat business and having them that

430
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: a guy I can kind of like resonate with. He

431
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,880

438
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: was hearing John Mayer write songs about the way I felt,

439
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: not just writing songs about how he felt, but he

440
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: wrote songs and I was like, oh man, that's how

441
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: I feel.

442
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: Like he was that first songwriter for me.

443
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so as much as you know he has bangers, yeah,

444
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: like his songwriting to me, yeah was super important and

445
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: like my musical growth.

446
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was truthfully, like like some songs like, like

447
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,040

449
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: And like, I covered Edgward.

450
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Desire like a year ago, and I was covering it

451
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: during my set, and like, I doubt anyone in the

452
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: crowd knew what that song was, but I remember playing.

453
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: I was playing Brooklyn Bowl.

454
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I was playing Brooklyn Bowl a few days after my

455
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: birthday last year, sold out show and my aunt was

456
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: there and I was playing it and I had, I

457
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: mean great song, and no one really knew what the

458
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: song was. I was just like, hey, I'm just gonna

459
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: play this for you guys, because I truly, I truly

460
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: love it.

461
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was doing it for me, you know. I

462
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: was doing it for me. I wanted to play it.

463
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: And I found out later that it was my aunt's

464
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: wedding song, which was kind of It was cool, it

465
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: was awesome.

466
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: It was just like a I didn't.

467
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: Even know it, you know, And then I got off

468
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: stage and found that out, and it's just like the

469
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,840

Speaker 1: you can play it throughout very like various occasions, if

471
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: that makes sense.

472
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: You can play it anytime.

473
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: You know, you can play it you're sad, you can

474
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: play it at a house party, you can play it,

475
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, at a wedding. You know, you can play

476
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: it pretty much anywhere. And I think he's a very versatile,

477
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: versatile artist for sure.

478
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 6: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,

479
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 6: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

480
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: Who are your favorite artists?

481
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: If you were doing Mount Rushmore for artists for wow,

482
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore, you don't need to be in a format,

483
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: it's just.

484
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: Okay, who do you love?

485
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: She's a great, great question, John Mayer, for sure.

486
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: Uh, Keith Willie, Is that from your dad's influence?

487
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dad's influence for sure. And I took influence from

488
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: my parents, my grandparents, and my sister. My sister's twelve

489
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: years older than me, so I'd get a lot of

490
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: musical influence from her. When I was like five, she

491
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: was driving, so she would just drive me around all

492
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: the time and put on OX so I would listen

493
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: to like Justin Bieber and Usher and Chris Brown and

494
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, One Direction and all those guys.

495
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: With her.

496
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Number three, i'd have to say George Jones just because

497
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: he's I mean a legend.

498
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't.

499
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna say I listen to him

500
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: all the time, but I think, yeah, I love his voice.

501
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: He could hit like every octave. You know, it's like

502
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: one of the only artists I could do that. And

503
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: then I'll give you another like I love. This is

504
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: a very underrated pool. If this is a very subjective thing,

505
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: Like if you asked me last week, I'd probably have

506
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: another four artists. John Mayer is pretty solidified, but like

507
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: these guys are kind of you know, it depends on

508
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: the day, but I'd probably say number four is like

509
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: Ed Sharon, like like another guy like that, just a

510
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, complete curveball from everyone else. But like, I mean,

511
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: think about it, if you really think about like Ed

512
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: Sharon's songs, Dude, he's he's a legend, and he's got

513
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: like so many bangers and so many just amazing songs

514
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: and just amazing songwriter.

515
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: And I haven't.

516
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: Dude, I wish I know he's making mad bank too,

517
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: because he stage the size of this.

518
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: It's literally just him a loop pedal and a guitar

519
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: and you know, an arena or a stadium.

520
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, exactly all that money all of it,

521
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: literally all of it.

522
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 2: No production costs. You've had to learn all about that now,

523
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: right like overhead? Oh yeah, dude, it's it's bad. It stinks.

524
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: He definitely knowes, you know.

525
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I try to incorporate my my myself into

526
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: the business as much as I can, but you know,

527
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: I have to accept the fact that I definitely don't

528
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: know everything, you know, kind of like I said earlier,

529
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: and I'm learning for sure, And I learned from him,

530
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: and I learned from you know, guys on my team

531
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff on how everything works. So

532
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: when I'm eighteen, you know, that's I can. I can

533
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: go out and do this by myself and not get

534
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: taken advantage of or anything like that. And that's why

535
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: I started at fifteen, you know, I mean because like

536
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: of course, when I was you know, first starting to

537
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: do this, and you know, I was going to Texas

538
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: with my dad and started performing and started picking up

539
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: a little bit of attraction on social media and all

540
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, and people were reaching out. There

541
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: was definitely a question, you know, like dang, do we

542
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: want to do this? We want to pull him out

543
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: of school? Do we want to do all this? Kind

544
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: of stuff. And I think it was my mom that

545
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: they were in the bed. They were like talking about it.

546
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: My mom was crying, he was probably crying all this

547
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. She turned around, He's like, well, if

548
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: we do it now, that we can help him, you know,

549
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: because he's going to do it at eighteen anyway. You know,

550
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: he's going to do something like this that you know,

551
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 1: when he's a little bit older anyway, And when he's

552
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: older then we can't help him, you know, but we

553
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: can help him now. And that's I mean, that was

554
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: like pretty much the turning point decision is when they're like,

555
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, you're right. And I'm super blessed that

556
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: she made that decision because I'd be I'd be I'd

557
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: be lost. I wouldn't know what to do without these guys,

558
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I've learned so much from them and

559
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: just super thankful for sure.

560
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: Talk about your dad and you going to Texas like

561
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: that was like once a month.

562
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: Oh dude, not months of what dude.

563
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: We were down there probably for a solid year, playing

564
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: three four hour sets in the Texas heat.

565
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: How often would you go down I'd say like two

566
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: three times a month?

567
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Maybe? Wow, you know, yeah, and we'd make that from

568
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: we'd make that drive from you know, Birmingham to like

569
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: Dallas Fort Worth, and I would play in front of

570
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: ten people who didn't care. You know, It's just me

571
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: and him and a guitar, and we thought we were

572
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: living it up, you know. And I was playing three

573
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: four hour sets opening up for you know who knows, right,

574
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, actually I do know. I mean some of

575
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: my favorite guys. His name's Taylor Branch. He's a really

576
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: cool guy, and I got to open up for him

577
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: one time. And like Ryder Grimes, he was another mentor

578
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: of mine. He was like eighteen years old. I brought

579
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: him out on tour with me, you know, and I'm

580
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: just super thankful for that, like Texas grassroots country, that

581
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: I got to you know, go experience, because I didn't

582
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: want to be a guy that's known and I you know,

583
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: got my start behind a screen, you know, And that

584
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: was like a huge thing for me and my dad

585
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: and just a whole decision as a you know, group

586
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: that I wanted to learn how to play live.

587
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to go, you know, experience what.

588
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: It is because quite honestly, that helps more than people know.

589
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: And That's why I think performing is one of my

590
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: better parts of you know, my artistry is because I

591
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: would go play at those four hour sets in one

592
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: hundred and ten degree Texas heat and no one cared,

593
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: you know, and have to endure, like realize that you

594
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: have to put on a show for really people to

595
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: turn ahead. And that was I mean, it was. It

596
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: was something that I learned and I'm glad I did.

597
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade it for anything. And now you know,

598
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I go up on stage and I'm playing in front

599
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: of thousands of people each night, who you knowing my

600
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: sing every single lyric to every single song I have,

601
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: and it's just like I still put on that same

602
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: show that I feel was at a winery with fiances

603
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: who were planning their wedding who weren't listening. You know,

604
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: it's the same I'm putting on this music exactly.

605
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: I know, seriously.

606
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: That was my first show May twenty at twenty twenty

607
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: three was my first show, and I was wearing a

608
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers jersey.

609
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm a Steelers fan, and it was.

610
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: In my hometown, probably like fifteen minutes away from my house,

611
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: and I was playing. I was playing an hour I

612
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: was playing probably two three hours, probably a three hour gig,

613
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: me and my dad, and there's probably you know, twenty

614
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: girls there planning their wedding and they didn't care, you know.

615
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: And that's fine. You know, I was playing. I was

616
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: playing my.

617
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: Covers anyway, so I didn't care, you know, And I

618
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't trade it for nothing.

619
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm super glad I did it.

620
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 3: Do you feel like, because you're so young, people think

621
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: that you did come from behind a screen first?

622
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, And that's just like what you're gonna do

623
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: about it.

624
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: You know. There's some people that are just they did

625
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: They just have that closed mind and they're gonna think

626
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: that no matter what, you know, hater's gonna hate. But

627
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: for the people that have an open mind and or

628
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: like curious on truly how I got my start is

629
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know. I mean, of course some of

630
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: it was, you know, and I would post online and

631
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: do all that kind of stuff, and I would go

632
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: live with my dad.

633
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: But also I was putting in the work.

634
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: A lot of it was a lot, a lot of

635
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: hard work, you know, Like I just said, I would

636
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: go play live all the time, and I would beg

637
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: to go play live because I just love, you know,

638
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: making that connection with people, you know, because you can't

639
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: do that over a screen. You can't, like, you can't

640
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: love somebody over a screen, you can't make a connection

641
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: with people over a screen. You can't do many things

642
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: over a screen. But what we can't do in person

643
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: is make a connection, you know. And that's I learned that,

644
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: and I'm glad I got to carry that over. And yeah,

645
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: it's just I did to an extent, but I also

646
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: put in a lot of work behind the scenes that

647
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people that kind of gets like, you know,

648
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: overpassed because TikTok was a or social media in general

649
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: was a big part for sure.

650
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't feel like you are a legitimate screen

651
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: kid with music, because I do. You're playing a lot

652
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: of shows, yes, and not taking anything away from screen kids, yeah,

653
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 3: of course, or screen adults, like it's just another way

654
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: to get discovered. Yeah, but there are people that I

655
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: know that are now big artists who were discovered on

656
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: TikTok that they're really massive artists, absolutely, but they had

657
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: to like learn all the live performance stuff after they

658
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: had already popped. And that's an awkward place to be

659
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: when there are people watching you and you really don't

660
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: know what you're doing, but you're already famous for doing it.

661
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

662
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's why I'm super blessed that I did

663
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: it before. You know, I didn't necessarily have that. I mean,

664
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna say I did it before my

665
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: first ever TikTok video, but I definitely did it before

666
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: I had like one hundred thousand followers. I was doing

667
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff with like ten thousand followers maybe,

668
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I was, you know, I was posting consistently,

669
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: but I wasn't just posting in my house. I was posting,

670
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, come out to the show tonight, hear it?

Speaker 1: pool quarters to go for the pool, but I.

Speaker 2: Didn't get anything else other than that.

676
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it's just uh you know, I mean,

677
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for it for sure, because it taught me

678
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things about, you know, a lot of performing.

721
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: people don't have air conditioners there because.

722
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: They don't need it for very long really, so they

723

Speaker 2: don't buy them. Wow.

724
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,920

725
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: only needing it for three or four weeks out of

726
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 3: the year.

727
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: Gee. Yeah, I guess you're right.

728
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,680

00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: It's terrible.

730
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I could I could be in

731
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: the heart of La and I could drive fifteen minutes,

732
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: or I could drive two hours and still feel like

733
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm in the city, Like, if that makes sense in

734
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: any direction, I could drive thirty minutes south and still dang,

735
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the same building, you know, same with

00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: New York.

737
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,240

Speaker 2: can walk.

739
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can just walk to New York. No one

740
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: really drives in New York anyway. But I mean I

741
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,879

Speaker 1: S means perfect, like perfect weather.

767
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,480

00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Like? What does that even standard? I didn't make the rules.

Speaker 3: D traffic, but at least you can places.

779
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,800

780
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: a little bit, because there's no I mean, there's walking traffic,

Speaker 1: is like almost the city that kind of built me,

797
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, cause like a lot of my years that

798
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: were you know, the growing up years, like when I

Speaker 1: like like my middle school, I never to the high school,

800
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680

00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: Birmingham was, like I grew up in Birmingham. I don't

806
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: know how to make that make sense.

807
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it didn't at all. Okay, yeah, you know,

808

859
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: I like hanging out with my buddies, because they don't

860
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: treat me like Maddox Fast and the Entity. They kind

861
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: of just treat me just like their buddy Maddix, which

862
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,200

863
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: Give me a real pinch me moment.

864
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh great, good question. Truthfully, I mean, it's not even

865
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: that hard for me. The Grand Ole Opry debut was insane,

866
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: and I grew up in like theater and all this

867
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and I would I've never really got

868
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: nervous or like stage fright or anything like that. I like,

869
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: I would get nervous, of course, I get excited, you know,

870
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: more excited than nervous. And I never really you know,

871
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: folded or anything under the pressure or anything like that.

872
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: But I've never been in my entire life more nervous

873
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: than my second time on the Grand Ole Opry. The

874
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: first time, I was just okay, you know, ready to go.

875
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: But the second time, you know, they invited me back.

876
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: You know, I have to make an even better impression

877
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: here because they invited me back, you know.

878
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: What'd you think about your Did you have fun here

879
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: at the first time?

880
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, because I did not have fun the first time.

881
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: I played it really well because I was like, I

882
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: don't want to screw this up.

883
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: No, true, true, Drew.

884
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: And there's like a cake and you got to sign yeah,

885
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: and it's like you're in the first time a room

886
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: and everything is like an experience. Yeah, And so I

887
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: didn't really have it was it meant something to me, absolutely,

888
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: but I didn't have fun because I just didn't want

889
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: to mess it up.

890
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

891
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 3: I felt like the second time, I actually looked in

892
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: people's faces, like I could actually take in the stage,

893
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: take in the crowd. There wasn't it wasn't a big deal.

894
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: I just got went to my room. I went to

895
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: the comedy room. They were like, you're in rooms you know, sixteen?

896
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, have had it. Yeah. I enjoyed. Treated you like

897
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,479
Speaker 2: like almost like a local. Yeah.

898
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I enjoyed the second time. That's a great way

899
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: to put it. I mean I kind of agree with that.

900
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't necessarily. I definitely had fun while

901
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: I was up there on stage, but kind of like

902
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: you said, you were just like, holy cow, I don't

903
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: want to mess this up. You know, the great o

904
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,560

909
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: I was so nervous. But you know, luckily, I think

910
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: I pulled through. I think I handled myself as well

911
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: as I could and I think so too.

Speaker 1: I listened back on that because I wanted to see,

919
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: like if I was just listening as a fan, like

920
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: what it would sound like.

921
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: And I think it did fine.

922
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,680
