WEBVTT - SUNDAY SAMPLER - The Nashville Podcast Network (2-23-25) 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.960 Back with a Sunday sampler. Matt Stell in New Orleans. 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.800 That's what you're here from me. We were at the 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.440 super Bowl and he played against Lebron James in high 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.000 school and his mom recorded over the video and so 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:21.919 we're gonna play that coming up in a second. But 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:23.960 you're gonna hear clips of a bunch of podcasts here, 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.520 and if you like any of the stories, go check 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.480 out that individual podcast. I would recommend Doctor Josie's podcast 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.760 if you love animals and celebrities, and check out Morgan's 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.680 new podcast as well, called Take This Personally. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:35.760 But I want to start with this. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.440 It's an episode from the Bobby Cast this week with 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.840 country music superstar Matt Stell. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.320 I moved to Nashville, finally got a publishing deal, and 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.760 about six months into that publishing deal, I think, all right, 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:59.000 prayed for You with a couple people in town and 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.240 my manager at the time, I'm and Alison Vell. Shout 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.319 out Alison the songs about her husband, and I wrote 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.520 pray for You, and I I thought we had written 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.959 a good song that day, but I I had no 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.679 idea it was like gonna be a life changing hit song, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.920 and no idea, and so my publishing company were putting 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.319 out an EP and they're like, we should put these songs, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.920 and my publishers like, man, you should put Prayed for 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:22.640 You on there too. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.480 I was like, okay, well, let me stop you for 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.320 a second, because if you wrote write Pray for You, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:32.400 you three were just together generally writing, and then your 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.200 publisher were just gonna go and pitch the song. You 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.320 aren't writing for anything specific. She didn't have anybody in mind. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.640 So I think they were I mean, I think we 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840 were kind of writing for We were writing for me, 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.479 because you know, the idea was like, we're gonna put 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.360 an EP together. I get, you know, pitched to lay. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:48.360 We'll see we get some traction. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.200 But I wanted to know, like what was the purpose 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.360 of the right to me? 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.840 I was in there writing this song that is like, 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.720 I'm proud to say it's a good song. I'm really 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.920 proud of that song. It's not the kind of music 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.440 that I thought I would be making, you know, from 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.480 what we just talked about. But I wrote that song 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.320 and I was, you know, cool, awesome, wrote. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:07.520 A good song. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.400 The day you finished. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:09.239 Did you think it was good? 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:10.720 I thought it was good. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:11.519 It was for you. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.480 No, No, I didn't. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.240 I didn't know, Like I had never written a hit 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.639 song before, Like I wasn't one of these guys that 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.600 just moved to town and like lighting it hits in 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:22.200 a battle. 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.040 Like thematically when you finished it were like nothing says Stelle. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.320 I prayed for you, like I just wonder right, I know, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.200 because it doesn't sound based on the things that you 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.160 heard that didn't resonate with you. And this is the 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.800 irony of it, is that, especially the music you wanted 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.239 to make, you finished the song and it's like man 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.880 stamp of Stelle just right there exactly. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.000 And you know, to be honest with you, Bobby, I 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.320 have I've tried to put more and be more me 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.000 in the music that I've made as an artist because 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.359 I wasn't an artist at that, Like I wasn't a 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.880 person on the radio with then like we put that 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.480 song out in that EP out and John Marx was 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.760 at Spotify at the time, and my other manager emailed him. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.560 They put that song on Spotify and it started. It 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.519 was like a million streams a week on without much 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.600 at all playlisting. And then it, I mean it organically 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:12.359 did it blew? 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.960 It went viral. Before that, it was that social media 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.880 was viraling songs to deals. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:17.600 Yeah. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.120 For yeah, it was it went viral. Yeah, basically like 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.400 for me music, my socials have always followed my music. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.040 They have not like my George Birds, you know, one 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.720 of my good friends, he's a little bit the other way, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.600 you know, social media. He's really good at it, and 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.359 he's also very good at music, but his socials are 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.840 the are the the bell cow you know, that gets 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.920 all that great music to people. And me, I've always 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.440 my soles have always lagged behind whatever music I had. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.160 And yeah, man, that happened. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.120 And then we shot it a single, like was it 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.080 in your mind? Because again, if you send it to 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.760 Spotify and John used to be the guy Spotify, was 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.280 it this? I guess singles a weird word if you're not. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.760 Actually it was the single. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.160 It was the song, It was the scene. It was 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.080 the one song we sent. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.240 Okay, so we were you trying to service it to 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.680 radio as well? Well? 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.360 At that point we were, you know, I was going 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.080 and playing some songs in some offices downtown, but I really, 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.720 you know, hadn't nailed anything. You know, we had a 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.200 little interest here and there, but I didn't have a 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.280 record deal or anything. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.200 Did you feel like the song where you were like, oh, man, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.160 it's a good song, but I don't really want this 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.839 to be the single. Even though the song was good. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.479 Did part of you not want to be the single 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.400 because it was love? 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.480 And in my you know, if I'm being honest, I 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:32.080 wanted that song to be a multi week number one 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.800 for Blake Shelton or for whoever. Like I thought that's 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.000 what I was doing because I thought we'd written a 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.640 good song that day. But man, you know, for me 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.720 in this business and how hard it was and to 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.320 get started and getting started late, you know, if you 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.200 have an opportunity, I've never been one that was so 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.240 confident in myself that I would be picking and choosy 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.240 about opportunities. And so when that song hit like it did, 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.480 we started getting calls from some labels. Then we got 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.040 a call and signed a deal and blah blah blah. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.920 You know that led to you know, whatever, did. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.800 You have to have like an internal conversation of this 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.640 is not exactly what I thought it would be, but 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.320 this is awesome, so we're gonna commit and just. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.640 Go Yeah, Well I knew I just wanted to make 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.400 music that mattered to people. And I did struggle with 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.120 this a little bit earlier. Yeah, to answer your question, 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.760 but like I had, I always want to make music 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.440 that mattered to people. But I never thought I was 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.400 gonna be as someone who wrote like one of the 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:41.800 bigger wedding songs. I wasn't married. I mean, if it like, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.680 I wasn't even engaged at that time, I don't think 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:46.960 maybe you know, I can't remember. 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:48.360 Maybe I was. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.320 Those those timelines seem like they're parallel, but they're different 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:52.120 tracks of mine. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.479 But uh, yeah, I had no idea. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.600 And now you know, now that I am married and 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:03.080 found somebody that I that I think those things about 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.680 that song makes even makes more sense to me now. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.880 Number one, But number two, it is really really humbling 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.760 and special that people want to include that song, get 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.840 it tattooed on them, somebody has those lyrics on a 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:22.360 headstone like that. I that there's no amount of like, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.680 oh wow, I wish this. I wish my famous song 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.800 was about whiskey. You know, Like dude, I'm just glad 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.480 to have made any music that matters to people. And 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.680 but yeah, I mean there was that the questions you're 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.120 asking were questions I asked myself, And these are the 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.400 answers to those questions. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.800 Cast up little food for your song. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.360 Life. It's pretty, it's pretty beautiful. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.279 That for a little moth would it's exciting? 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:10.200 A course said he you're kicking it with full thing 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:11.679 with Amy Brown. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.480 All right, let's talk about why we put things off 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.440 that we really want to do. Like I want you 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.480 to think about something that you really wanted to do 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.120 but you put it off, or that you currently really 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.240 want to do, but you are putting it off at 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.240 this exact moment, even though you know it's something that 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.760 you're going to totally enjoy and you want to do it. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.920 I have done this many times now, about a year 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.280 and a half ago, I think it was maybe even 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.640 two years at this point. Time has been weird lately. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.040 I took an improv class and I absolutely loved it. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.440 I left it feeling energized, and I told myself that 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.920 I would sign up for another session soon. So they're 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.520 eight week courses. But guess what, I totally put it 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.800 off and put it off and put it off. I 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.080 originally signed up for after I had that teeny tiny 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.440 role in the Christmas movie Holiday harmony. My scene was 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.320 in the bathroom. Not sure if y'all saw it. My 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.800 kids thought that my bathroom scene was hilarious. My debut 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.520 in a movie and I had my lines in a bathroom, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.800 but I loved the entire experience. So after that, I 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:26.840 decided to take improv lessons and acting lessons to you know, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.720 hone in on my skills. I obviously should have done 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.360 that stuff before I filmed the movie, but I was 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.360 playing myself and it was sort of a last minute 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.000 thing that I got invited to do, and I was like, 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.079 I don't have time to take any lessons. I'm just 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.080 gonna go for it. And I had no idea how 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.880 much I was gonna love the whole thing. So then 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.120 I decided I would like to pursue more of these opportunities, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.040 So I'm gonna do the acting lessons, I'm gonna do 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.559 the improv And I did all that and then just stopped, 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.719 stopped going, didn't pursue anything. And I really think it 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.640 boiled down to that. I the rejection, and I don't 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.559 know why we do this to ourselves, because I know 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.200 better than that I have heard from others. I've even 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.880 shared on this podcast I know that we have to 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.400 just go for things. We can't fear the failure because 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.920 even from the failure, obstacle is the way we will 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.800 learn from it. We will grow from it. We have 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.400 the question that Donald Miller gave us, what does this 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.040 make possible? So I know all the things? So why 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.000 was I putting it off? Like why did I quit? 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.360 And then why did I just ignore it even though 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.000 I've had it on my list for sure the last 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.640 six to eight months. Sign up for another improv class, 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.160 sign up for another improv class. Like when we know 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:46.080 we want something and then fear creeps in. Uh, it's 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.079 the worst when the fear wins. And that's what happened 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.599 to me. I feel like we easily convince ourselves that 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.880 we don't really want it because that's easier than failing. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.600 And it's sort of what I started to tell myself. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.280 I'm like, well, I guess it's not so something that 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.040 I really wanted, because if I wanted it, I would 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.559 be signing up for it. Or we tell ourselves that 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.280 we're going to wait for the perfect time, then the 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.199 perfect time never comes, and we think about doing it 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.200 so much that we exhaust ourselves before we even get started, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.840 and that's exactly what happened to me. However, I had 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.640 a turning point today. I finally signed back up for 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.600 the improv classes. Like before I hit record, I made 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.000 myself go to the website. I signed up. I'm gonna 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.000 be taking classes starting in March. It'll be for eight 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.280 weeks every Tuesday night, six thirty to nine thirty. I'm 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.600 sure I'll run into some issues there, but I'm gonna 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.760 have to navigate around that. This is something that's important 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.800 to me. So for the next eight weeks, that's where 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.679 I'm going to be on Tuesday nights. You can't miss 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.360 more than two or you have to start over. And 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.080 I did level one a while back, and I got 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.400 to do level one again because so much time past, 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.480 I would feel ridiculous going into level two. So I'm 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.680 gonna start level one. I'm going to see how it goes, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.320 and then if I still love it, I'm gonna roll 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.959 in to level two. But I'm proud of myself for 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.559 finally signing up for the class, and I hope that 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.600 that will encourage any of you right now, if there's 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.600 something you've been putting off, maybe even pause this right 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.280 now and go look up what it is you need 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.160 to do. Go to the website. Can you sign up 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.640 for it? Do you need to look at your calendar? 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.719 What is it you need to do? 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.960 Like, if you've been putting off something, ask yourself why 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.880 you're putting it off. Is it fear? Is it perfectionism, 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:43.360 is it lack of time, whatever it is, Acknowledge why 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.800 you're putting it off, and figure out a way to 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.559 make it work. When we do that, it will help 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.199 get us out of the what if cycle, which is 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.160 what I need to get out of. I will just know, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.000 and I owe it to myself to give it a try, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:58.000 and so do you. 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.160 We're gonna do it. Live Oh the one, two, three, 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:16.640 sore losers? 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.720 What up, everybody? I am lunchbox.

I'm an alpha male. I live 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.600 on the north side of Nashville with Bayser, my wife. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:33.360 We do have a farm. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.839 It's beautiful, a lot of acreage, no animals, a lot 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.080 of crops, hopefully soon corn pumpkins. Rye I believe maybe 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:47.160 a little fescue to be determined over to you, coach. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.480 And here's a clip from this week's episode of The 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:56.000 Sore Losers Jasmine with Nashville sc Hi. I'm just letting 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.440 you know I'm your new ticket rep. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:12:59.680 How's it going, Jazzy? 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.880 And I'm like okay, And she's like, I just wanted 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.600 to call and see as a season ticket member. If 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.199 every if you're happy with everything that's going on and 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.920 every the process and everything. I said, well, I do 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.679 have a few questions here we go, Do I have 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.640 any comments? And she goes, are you just are you 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.720 looking forward to this upcoming season? I was like, well, 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.280 last season ended on a little bit of a rough note. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.920 You know, we were really pissed poor towards the end 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.959 of the year.

She's like, excuse me, I'm like, like, how 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.240 are we going to score more goals? It seems like 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.280 it takes a lot of effort for us to score 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.719 just one goal. When we go to the games, we 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.520 don't really score a lot of goals and we get 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.079 beat two to nothing, three to nothing, and if we 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.760 score one goal, it's a it's a miracle. How what 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.960 have we done to improve that need?

If she does enjoy ted Lasso. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.360 I should ask her. I said, Hey, did ted Lasso 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:46.800 inspire you to apply for this. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.560 I should have had that one because that does make 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.760 it cooler that she's working at a stadium and then 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.080 also can just go outside and watch the games. I 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.760 wonder if her offices are at the stadium. They have 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:56.080 to be. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:57.640 Oh, that's a great question. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.520 Then that makes me jealous that they had the ted 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.800 Lasso life because that was pretty cool. How the one 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.640 lady whoever the owner of the Yeah, how she'd always 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.920 go into her office.

I would have asked questions 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.800 like that. Instead you're being a dick and you're like, hey, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.680 so Hanni. Muktar and Zimmerman they weren't very social when 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:27.920 they would lose a game and then you guys would 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.120 have your meet and greets you, why don't you do 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.040 something constructive where you said, hey, it was really hard. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.360 The one cool time was when my kids played basketball 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.640 with Muktar. There's been other times though, where they get 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.560 one hot dog and you guys run out, why didn't 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.320 you address that? I should have addressed Meet the Team Day. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.640 I'm like, hey, so two years so fit with meet 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.160 the Team Day. Two years ago we went to Meet 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.680 the Team day and you, if you were a season 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.360 ticket member, you got to go and you got to 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.240 do all this stuff. But my kids didn't get to 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.040 do anything because everything we did was, oh, you have 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.240 to have a risk band for that, you have to 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.400 have a risk band for this, you have to have 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.200 this collar risk And there were no damn wristbands. But 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.560 no one said that on the copy, like how have we. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.440 Worked to improve that? That would have been a good question. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:08.800 That would have been a great question. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:09.480 She would listen. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.440 She would have been like, I didn't even know we 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.920 have fan Meet the Fan day. This is only my 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:16.160 second day on the job. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.480 Sir, You're gonna hang up and listen. You're hanging up. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.200 Uh So, I thought, I'm sitting there laughing to myself. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.639 And I get off the phone and my wife was like, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.240 who was that. I said, Oh, that was our new 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.040 season season ticket rep with Nashville. Escia's Jasmine. She goes, well, 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.560 what the hell were you asking her all those questions for? 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.159 And I said, oh, I thought I was being funny. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.479 She goes, that is so awkward. I'm like, I cracked 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.720 myself up. She goes, She's not going to know the 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:47.639 answer to that. That poor girl is just trying to 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.320 do her job. She has so many more people to call, 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.240 and you just took up fifteen minutes of her time. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.880 And I'm like, I laughed to myself, And my question 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.320 is is that Jasmine girl When she gets off the 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.760 phone with me, was she laughing or was she was like? 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.639 What the hell did I get myself into? What you 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:04.480 did was funny. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.920 The nation will think what you did was funny her 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.800 that was part of her job, so that you were 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.359 probably a nuisance. But I will say I love that 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.080 you had fun with people on the phone. I do 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.000 it a little too much to the now, the point 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.600 baser makes me go in the other room even if 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.120 I'm ordering pizza, because I'll be like, hey, how's it going, 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.240 what do you What are you guys doing there at 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:24.320 the old pizza joint? 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:24.640 Yeah? 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.840 Yeah, we're just gonna do two pizzas, gonna try and 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.639 eat them up and sop up that beer. You know 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.000 what I'm saying. She gets so secondhand cringe that she'll 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.280 make me go in the other room and do it. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:38.320 My wife said, I was suffering from second hand embarrassment. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.200 She goes, that makes me so uncomfortable. You just gotta 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:42.920 do in the other room. 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:43.639 Guys have been there. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:43.960 You do it. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.200
