We'll kick it off with Shane Mooney 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.120 of Dan and Shay at number four. Here you go, like, 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.200 I feel proudness for you and Dan both because it's 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.160 just I've just seen because we kind of came in 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.240 at the same time. I've seen you go from two 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.640 guys that they patched together, that you guys patched together. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.240 People are like, I don't know if their country, yeah 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:48.680 that was your whole rap. I don't know if they're 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.720 gonna make it. I don't know if that they're you know, 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.440 the guy can sing okay, but they just didn't know 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.760 for sure. I mean it was I saw one of 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.440 the coolest uh. Like it was an Instagram message. I 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.760 think this girl had this picture to us, and she 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.400 was like, I think she had tagged us and it 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.680 said I saw these guys. Uh. It was in two 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.680 thousand twelve, I think or two, right after we had met, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.400 and we were doing this round at Soulshine Pizza that 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.839 I don't think is there anymore. I think it's something 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.000 else now in Midtown And she was like, I saw 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.680 these guys play around, you know, however long ago in 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.840 two thousand thirteen, and now I just bought a ticket 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.120 to see them in Bridge Down, and it kind of 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.560 took me. It took me back for a second because 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.680 I was just like, man, this is just as as 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.679 they think it's it's cool. A lot of times you're 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.400 so busy with building it that it's hard to look back. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.680 And I saw that picture and immediately in that moment, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.400 it was just like, well, that's that's heavy. You know, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.480 we're struggling in that moment, couldn't We were probably paying 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.240 for Honestly, I think the deal we did weren't getting 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.200 paid for the round. It was we got a slice 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.240 of pizza, like that was what we were getting paid. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:50.040 Pizza and experience, yeah absolutely, And and playing to where 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.760 people would actually be there to listen, yeah yeah, which 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.120 they weren't that, but we didn't get the pizza, which 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.160 was pretty awesome. Apparently there was one girl though, that 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.160 was there and got to kind of see that, which 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.000 was a pretty cool moment. I don't know. I I 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.080 looked up the most Google questions about you here you go. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.120 Number one is are you and Shay related? You can 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.360 answer these. I'm not gonna answer them for you, but 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.600 are are Are Dan and Shay related? We're not. We're 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.040 not related, not that I know about. Okay, did you 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.360 twenty three and me? And make sure I haven't yet. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.519 You know, it's it's starting to starting to think about 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.400 it now. Though. What is make a lot of sense 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.400 for me is when I see you guys. I don't 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.919 know what a ward show it was, but you guys 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.440 don't like each other to the point of it's not 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.240 just I'll compare it to and I'm not married, you're 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.040 married now, but a marriage that's been through like ten 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.920 years and and this is not you guys, but they're 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.560 together and they just do it because they've agreed to 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.080 a partnership. It's like you guys that are that married 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.480 couple that you look at and go, wow, they still 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.040 like each other after all this time. It is man 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.200 and it feels like that. And I think it's because 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.800 it started out with a from a place of mutual respect. 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.880 You know, it wasn't just this, It wasn't so much 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.640 a lot of you know, lot of times it's this 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.920 whimsical thing that happens and you know, you don't even 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.000 have time to really get to know each other. You 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.520 know a lot of times in bands that it can 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.040 happen quickly and you you didn't have the time where 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.280 you were kind of grinding it out with each other 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.440 on the road and doing you know, millions of shows together. Um, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.520 and Dan and I had kind of we had become 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.880 kind of who we were going to be when we 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.720 had met. We knew where we were trying to get to, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.359 and we just really respected what each other, you know, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.000 we're doing, and uh yeah, I mean it's it's kind 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.560 of crazy because Dan and I are really complete opposites 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.800 in most ways, in most ways, and I think from that, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.320 you know, it's kind of like a puzzle piece. It's 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.359 like he picks up what I can't do. He's an 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.080 unbelievable producer. He makes me sound good. I can't do 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.880 any of that. I don't know what I'm doing the studio. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.280 So it's kind of that thing of I trust him, 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.160 you know, with literally like my life and my well being, 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.359 and he trusts me with with that as well. And 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.719 I think it just kind of, you know, it's it's 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.240 clol it's it's like being family, but it's really just 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.320 a I don't know, it's a really cool thing because 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.880 I do, I do still like and we are still 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.560 best friends. You know. It's kind of one of those 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.760 things of all the time we're always looking at each 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.000 other being like, I can't believe that this is this 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.360 is happening. It's just crazy. The second one is who 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:14.880 are She's parents? Who are parents? Rick and Cindy Mooney? 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.480 Are their names? Natural? Damn Arkansas and everybody pay. A 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.760 lot of people watching from Natural don't think they just 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.520 got internet, So this is probably gonna be a pretty 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.880 big deal, you know. You you laugh about natural Damn 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.320 arketsall about my town Mountain Pine, Arkansas. We just got 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.280 a cell phone tower now months ago. Wow, Now where 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.760 where is that? As far as like where a Little 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.560 Rock is? Because that we're on the you know, the 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.720 western side of Arkansas. So if you go straight dow 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.880 because I know where you are. If you go straight down, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.320 Mountain Pine is below Little Rock on the same side 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.280 of the state, about an hour the left side of 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.960 the states down. Is that towards Eldado or is that 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.320 the other it's the other side, the other side. But 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.240 I went to Fable and I was with the razor 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.479 by game this past week, and I don't get many 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.480 weekends where I'm off, and so I went over and 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.720 I took Adam Hamburg, who's a dear friend of mine, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.320 and I saw that and you're with Ronnie Brewer, right, Yeah, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.000 they were my points were they were asking about you. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.440 They were like, have you seen Shay lately? And it's 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.040 it's almost like if someone that they think we're all 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.560 like related to hang out that we're all like you. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.320 He's in the kitchen, what's up? What's up with Like 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.200 you know, I've seen him, probably got a month, but 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.480 I think he's doing pretty good. I watch him on 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.680 Instagram with it. It's just funny how when we all 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.200 come from Arkansas and afterward I hung out with a 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.360 lot of listeners and a lot of people that listen 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.520 to the show are watching American Idol, and they were 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.000 I probably got asked about you four times. They think 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.040 all of Arkansas boys run together. We should probably have 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.440 a meeting, and we haven't had one. And at least 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.800 it's been a couple of member's Chapter of Arkansas. Here's 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.680 the one. Does Shay get paid more than Dan? Yeah? 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.920 That was in the deal. I was like, look, if 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.320 I'm gonna see, if I'm gonna do this, you know, 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.080 you might do most of the work, but this is 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.920 how it's gonna be. I assume there's this. That's it. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.520 You guys are even split as far as I know. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.960 Maybe he maybe he does. I don't know. One more. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.360 Does Dan or Shay sing speechless? Well? We boasting dancing's 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.960 harmony sing the lead? But you yeah, I'm not. I'm 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.440 not that that sounded pretty amazing. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.640 do you want to join? Yeah? Okay, yeah, that'd be cool. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.240 Can you imagine if I went out and just we 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.040 didn't say anything about it just as a joke. We 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.400 didn't acknowledge it. We just walked out and you know, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.080 we did see anything. I just walked out and it 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.680 was like like Danna say, and it's me and and 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.320 we start speakless. And they would totally depend on if, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.680 like if someone knew that it was you or not, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.400 because if they did it and they hadn't seen it before, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.520 they'd be like, I didn't even I had no idea 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.840 that it was three of them. Then no, no, you 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.000 don't know. I don't come now. I put on like 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.840 a black better and I never break character, and I 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.040 sing as great as I can, and just we keep 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.400 cameras in the crowd. We'll see if people are stunned. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.400 We never acknowledge it. I'll tell you it's gonna be 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.239 it's gonna be a pretty great social experiment that will happen. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.000 And I can tell you no one will get angry 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.560 it that What kid were you in high school? What 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:08.800 were you known at shay is the were you the singer? Were? Did? Yeah? Yeah? 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.520 I think yeah, A little great that people knew most 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.760 about you was what probably honestly more that I was 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.320 kind of like the funny guy, I would say, because 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.200 I didn't like sing a ton I did, Like I 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:21.960 was definitely kind of known for that, but I was. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.800 I was definitely the class clown. I would say, um, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.040 but yeah, I did sing at like events, like randomly, 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.240 I would do like we had chapel. It was a 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.720 Christian school, So I would sing in chapel like people 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.480 that you were so good because you didn't do it 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.520 all the time. Oh yeah. Sometimes. I remember when I 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.599 came to school because I started like halfway through a 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.440 fifth grade and so I remember I I like, they 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.440 asked me to sing at chapel, and I was like 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.600 my first I had been. I had sang in church 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.440 and like you know, done that whole thing. But that 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.199 was like my first like real world at school. It 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:54.960 was like halfway through the year and I came in 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.440 singing at chapel. It's my moment I felt I felt 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.839 really good at what age? Did you? Oh, I'm not 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.199 just good for hearing a small town. I'm actually good 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.240 enough to go and try something outside of what I'm 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.240 accustomed to. Yeah, man, honestly, I was. I was probably 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.720 I was eight years old when we first started coming 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.160 to Nashville because we would make these little trips because 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.800 I would sing with my sisters. I have two older sisters, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.079 eric As the oldest, and then Gabby um, and we 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.160 would saying. We would travel around and like you know, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.199 just kind of for fun, we go to churches and 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.960 do the whole deal. Um. And when I was about eight, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.760 we came to Nashville and at that point I kind 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.720 of told my dad like, I'm I wanna this is 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.320 like what I wanna do. That was just like I 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.920 didn't know that I was like people would. I think 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.600 people a lot of times I kind of assumed that 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.680 I was like this, I don't want to say like prodigy, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.000 but like was like always insanely good at singing. It 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.200 was just like that wasn't necessarily case. We just everyone 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.520 in my family did it. And I think just for 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.520 the sheer fact that I was young, people would be like, oh, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.559 he's like he's really good. But we were in small 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.440 you know, this was small towns, so it's kind of 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.000 like I would take it as as a grand assault. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.600 I think my parents would too, like they knew I was, 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.640 you know, pretty good, but I don't know that it 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.319 was this is gonna be your career kind of thing 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.160 that kind of came honestly later, and I did it. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.080 You know, I was coming to Nashville since I was eight, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.120 but it wasn't I never knew. There wasn't a ton 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.840 of people that were just like this is undeniable, Like 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.280 they knew that I was good. But it wasn't until 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.880 I was a little bit older where we had a 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.320 couple of people be like, you should you guys could 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.800 do this, But it was never I don't know, you 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.959 go to college for a year, right, yeah, and then 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.120 you go, I'm gonna go I need to go to 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.640 do music. Yea. What was the point in going to school? 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.520 Where it clicked? Was like, it's gonna be tough, but 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.440 I gotta get out of school. And I actually it 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.720 wasn't even a real It wasn't actually a school. It 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.240 was actually a ministry school. So I went there. It 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.640 was like a nine month program and I had a 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.400 full ride to go to like a music school. And 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.200 I decided right before because my sister Gabby had decided 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.920 she was going to go up to Pittsburgh to go 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.160 to this like nine month you know program, and I 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.120 was just like I kind of wanna I'm gonna go 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.240 with you. I'm gonna do this. And it was kind 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.040 of that I wasn't quite sure what I was gonna 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.720 do with my life. I was about to graduate, and 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.520 I didn't want to go to school for something that 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.120 I already felt like I was. I didn't think I 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.880 was gonna like learn and if I was going for 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.200 like engineering or something like that, which is probably what 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.520 I would have done, I just I didn't want to 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.760 go to school for like performance major, you know, and 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.440 like learn how to sing. I just felt like that 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.120 wasn't really the vibe. And so yeah, I kind of 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.120 took that that nine months and lived in Pittsburgh. Um, 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.800 and then right after that I moved back home, which 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.800 is when kind of the whole tea paying thing happened. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.040 Which is an interesting thing too, because when you can 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.800 really sing, you can also kind of pick where you sing. Yeah. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.679 Even I give Garth as an example, he was singing 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.360 rock songs. Yeah, he was, you know, he was kind 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.960 of finding his place early. Um. So how do you 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.400 get discovered by because what was it called what was 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.360 t paint? It was called nappy boy, Nappy Boy? How 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.560 do you get hooked up with them? How do they 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.839 see you? What are the steps that led you to 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.760 go there? Did you moved to Atlanta for a while. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.040 I did move to Atlanta, So I was so I 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.520 lived in Pittsburgh and my sister was she had this 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.280 uh she was super good. She a good dancer, like 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.440 she was a choreographer and Tylla's stuff and she was 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.720 had met this guy named Mike who was actually a 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.440 backup dancer for Tea Pain, and so we kind of 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.160 all were hanging out there for a little while. And um, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.080 long story short, we get back to Arkansas after you know, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.920 the school, after the nine months, and we're there and 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.920 I just randomly get like a text, was like, Hey, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.480 what are you doing. I knew he had worked with 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.240 Tea Pain, and I guess he had sent some YouTube 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.240 video mine to Tea Pain. And I was and I 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.600 was at Van Buren actually, and I was in a movie. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.160 I'll never forget this, and I like he was like, hey, 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.680 like he wants to like, you know, FaceTime you or whatever. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.199 And I was just like I was in this movie 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.880 and I didn't have any service, and I was like, 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.800 I was like, this is the craziest thing ever. So 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.600 I go out of the movie and my friend was 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.320 like the manager watching was watching him? Did you think 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:01.400 he was? Like? I thought he was like to have 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.280 heard of this movie is called hot Rod. It was 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.920 like this little project I was working on. So you 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.719 leave the theater, Yeah, so I leave it. So I 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.120 walked outside and I didn't have any WiFi and this 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.199 service wasn't good enough, so I had to get on WiFi. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.320 I think it was a FaceTime call. I can't remember 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.240 if that was even a thing then, but either way, 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.480 I didn't have any service. I had to like go 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.520 get on the WiFi. So my friend was the manager 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.120 there and like gave me the WiFi passard and I'm 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.760 in like this back room at the movie theater like 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.080 face timing or whatever. T pain and he was like, hey, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.360 I want you come to Memphis, like we're playing a show. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:30.920 There was him and Chris Brown. I want you to come, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.240 you know, play with us and and do this whole deal. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.200 So I was just like, yeah, all right, let's just 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.360 do this whole deal. Mean, I didn't have no idea. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.120 To this day, I don't know what that meant. You 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.600 know those moments like you get the call and you're 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.839 just like yeah, whatever it is I'm down yea, And 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.960 that got me into a lot of trouble probably at 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.280 some points in my life. Like whatever that is, I'm 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.520 doing it. So the legend of the fort which in 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.840 different places we've talked about, but you guys met in 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.120 the living room for at a house which you've been 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.800 backed by. Have even seen you guys posted before, Um 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.360 Dan was living in that house and you went over 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.640 to the house I did, So I was living on 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.600 I was living with my buddy actually at the time, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.240 um I had I was, I was, I think I 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.880 was maybe I don't even remember how if I even 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.920 was paying him, but I was basically sleeping on his 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.680 couch for like a little while. His name was Brandon Metcalf, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.080 great guy, and he had a studio and I was 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.120 like working a lot with him when I had moved 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.000 to Nashville and kind of had my place, and um 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.480 there was a guy named Andrew um that just one 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.240 night we had been writing a lot and he told 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.200 me he was like, man, I'm going over to these 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.640 guys house. They had a band at the time. He's like, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.600 they're having a house party. Uh, you know, you want 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.920 to come with me? And I was just like, yeah, sure, 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.200 let's do it. And at that time it was just 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.480 kind of like any time you could go somewhere without 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.520 spending any money. And he knew that there was like 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.720 we knew that there was a keg, and I was 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.120 like a little bit of englishment that's that's always changed, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.480 was like, do you think they go like pizza or 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.760 someone like I haven't even like a couple of days, 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.640 but it was like, yeah, we showed up at this 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.280 house and little did I know that that night was 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.800 going to completely change my life. At number three, this 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.200 is the pretty recent one. This is Russell Dickerson from 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.120 the New House, the New Studio. I'm not sure if 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.640 I'm mentioning this clip or not, but I drove up 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:16.800 to the house and he was standing out in the 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.280 dark by himself, and he's a tall hunting figure. It's 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.320 the lights aren't on. He's a he's a big old boy. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.520 Here you go, number three. Do you feel though, now 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.280 with four number ones, like you can take a breath, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.120 not in a way of relaxing, but in not worrying 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.640 that you won't stay? Yeah, a little bit. I mean 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.440 with everyone that gets that way, And I think why 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.680 this one is so special is because it's off album too, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.240 you know, And I think this kind of nips the 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.360 sophomore slump in the bud. You know, this is the 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.240 first song from the second album, but the four record 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 is and I don't know it's right. It's called Southern. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:01.560 I'm the biggest Russell Dickerson stand there is. So the 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.360 song is out, the record is not yet, and you 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.320 already have a number one before the records even out? 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.160 Come on? What else can you ask? But I don't know. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.040 I don't know. That's like best case scenario. So it 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.520 comes out December four. Let me play your four number 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:14.880 one in the case we have some brand new Russell 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:22.840 Dee fans. All right, yours? Here you go first, which is, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.480 by the way, funny story. I of course, I'm just 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.560 gonna go ahead and interrupt you there. Yes, I will 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:38.160 come sing at your wedding. Wasn't the question? That's funny. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.560 Caitlin and I were listening to songs last night because 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.200 she's trying to find a song to walk down the 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.240 aisle too. She doesn't want to walk down to Dada, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.440 and we wanted to pick a song that meant a 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.960 lot to us. But we were scrolling and why I 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.360 think about yours is because there's a whole wedding mix 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.320 of this song too that I didn't even know. It's 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.880 how is it different though? It's just there's no drums, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.960 there's no you know, there's no big guitar solo. It's 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.080 like a kind of piano cello. We vibe. But we 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.639 didn't pick it, but it was up there in the 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.359 top ten. We just but I was like, hey, this 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.479 song is really great. I was like, I love Russell. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.600 We just didn't have a story to it as a couple. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.120 Absolutely happen to like defend myself and I'm like, hey man, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.240 that's a great song, trust me. So that was your 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:32.800 first number one. Here is Blue Tacoma, Here is every 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:38.479 little thing. I mean, that's a jam. Listen of all 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.520 of your listen, they're all good, right, but that's the 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.280 one that it comes on. I can't get it out 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.880 of my head. Yes, that's the goal. I mean, that's 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:49.080 the ultimate goal. And you know it's not a slow 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.040
