WEBVTT - It's my biggest fear

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>How to everybody. Welcome to the podcast. What is your

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>greatest fear? I mean, the biggest fear of your life? Everybody.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>It seems like everybody's got one, and it's weird. It's

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>almost like we're all wired to have our own tendency

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to be scared of something. Like some people will say snakes,

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and like if we're talking Indiana Jones, some people say snakes,

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>some people say rats. Some people call spiders their biggest fear.

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Some people say it's heights. Some people say it's speed,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>going too fast? Is that's their biggest fear? Like they can't.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Some people say the airplanes. Airplanes are their biggest fear.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I know mine, and I want to talk about it

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast. I want to bring in our warehouse

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:01.279
<v Speaker 1>manager at EE Apparel and several time podcasts guest ex

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>drummer of mine, Caleb Kelly. He is always has such

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a great perspective, so I want to talk about that.

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I also want to dive into your questions, which you

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>could ask me at Grangersmith Podcast at gmail dot com.

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope everyone had a great holiday season. This is

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the last podcast of twenty twenty, and there's like a

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>sigh of relief when I even say that, because twenty

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty has been such a crazy year for all of us.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not talking about all of us as in

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>ue apparel in my band. I'm talking about all of

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you too. This podcast is listened to by so many

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>different countries and different cultures around the world. I get

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>your emails, and it's wild that this year has affected

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>all of us. Usually you would say something like this

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>has affected this city, or this county, or this state,

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>or sometimes this country. But this is rare that we

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 1>could say that this has truly affected the world. It's

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>not like a hurricane that affected a region. This has

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>affected the world. And there's a sigh of relief thinking

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>that we're going into a new year, a new calendar year,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's so much on our shoulders to

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.239
<v Speaker 1>take on. What kind of perspective will we have going

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>into twenty twenty one? What will we take away from

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty? What will we never take for granted again

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>that we learned by having less of it or none

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of it in twenty twenty, like touring. What will we

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>look forward to and say, you know what I learned

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that this is where I put my foot down this

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>is where I say, no, I will not go any further.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe this is a time where we say I've learned

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to bend. I've learned to I have an opinion on something,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and now I've learned to put my opinion aside, put

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>my ideology aside, and move in a different direction. So

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you got two different two completely different perspectives. People that

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>know I will no longer bend, and people that maybe

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>say I've learned how to bend. Where do you fall

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on this whole thing? I think no matter where you fall,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we could all agree it's nice to at

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>least turn the calendar year into twenty twenty one, get

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>away from that twenty twenty stigma. Although we all know

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that just because the calendar changes doesn't mean the world's

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>going to change or the pandemic is going to change it.

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice clean fresh start in our minds, and

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>sometimes our minds is what leads to the full change

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>or the full destination that we're heading for. All things

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to consider, and one thing to take in right now

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>for me is that a lot of things happened for

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>me in a positive way because of twenty twenty. The

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>earl Devils truck restoration that happened only because of twenty twenty,

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 1>only because of me. Butch and Bull were off from

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>touring and mom. Mom had this old barn with my

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>old and dad's old truck in it. I go pick

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>it up in a flatbed and take it here to

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the Yegee Farm to rebuild it. That a will happened

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>because of twenty twenty. Of this podcast is now a

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>weekly thing. I was maybe heading that direction, knowing that

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I probably should make it a weekly thing. But when

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty hit and we stopped touring, I thought, Okay,

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>here it is. It's time to make the podcast an

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>every Monday thing. So there are a lot of There

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of things that I'll look back on

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>years from now ago that was because of twenty twenty.

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>There's bad things, of course, but there are thinks as

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>years go by, we'll see more of the positive and

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.799
<v Speaker 1>we'll go it was twenty twenty that allowed that to happen,

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>or opened the door for that to happen. What do

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you say about that? And how many things have you

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>now realized that twenty twenty has opened the door for

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>That's all stuff to think about. I want to talk

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>about this and I want to talk about what my

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>greatest fear is. Welcome to the podcast episode sixty four.

0:05:20.760 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Ye ye did change in month time line by fool

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>up and down during back crazy cool. Yeah thatation. So

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>during the truck giveaway at ee Appearl, I remember at

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>one point it was like really late at night, like

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve thirty at night, and the contestants were out their

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>hands on the truck and they were just talking, talking, talking.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess they were trying to think of things to

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>keep their minds occupied. But there their conversation was what

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>is your biggest fear? And so as I'm going by,

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I was actually taking a picture of them on the

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>roof and they're like, Hey, what's your greatest fear? And

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>the reality is I said deep water, Like that's that's

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>my That is it? Like I don't feel great about

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>being really really high, you know, like if I want to,

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>if IM at the Grand Canyon, which I brought that

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>up to, I could be at the Grand Canyon and

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I could be sitting on the edge and dangling my

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>legs right, and I don't feel good about that. But

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>that's nothing compared to how I feel about deep water

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and the way that I always and the way that

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I told them that day was, imagine you're you're in

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>some really really deep channel with an unknown bottom, and

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a some kind of warship floating in the middle,

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>tied up, and they say, we need you for a bet.

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Swim under the warship. The propellers are off, they're they're there,

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>but they're not turned on, the engines off. But you

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>need to swim all the way under the propellers, unknown

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what's in these waters, and come out the other side

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and be like, Nope, it could be a million dollars.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing it. I'm not going in that water.

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Not my jam, deep dark water, No thanks. And then

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you remind me today of the story of us in California,

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>a band trip we're on. I guess we were on

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>tour if you call it that. We didn't have very

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>many people that listened to our music back then, was

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>about twenty eleven, Yeah, yeah, twenty eleven or twenty twelve,

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>went out to LA and played well, we went to

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Steel Panther that was we played, but not many people

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>came to see us. And we did do a specific

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>trip to We're in like LA, and we decided to

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>go and paddleboard. Was it La or San Diego or wherever?

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I think Pacific Beach. I'm gonna get it wrong. I'm

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>not from there, but it was gorgeous and like a

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>week before I forget who else for the name was,

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but he said that there was a great white shirt

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 1>siding at that. Seal Rock is what they called it. Yeah,

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 1>that's right, seal Rock. Do you know seal Rock? If

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.719
<v Speaker 1>you're listening, you know seal Rock. So, seal Rock is

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>a is a famous place on the beach, and we

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>decided it's a good idea to paddle board out there. Yeah,

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and what we said it was an idea. Yeah, we

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't decided it was a good idea, right, We decided

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it was an idea to paddle board because other people

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>were doing it, not a lot, but there was like

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe one other guy out there doing it. Johnny had

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>gone out before us too, Yeah, bass player Johnny had

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>done it and the guy that was we were. We

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 1>couldn't afford hotels back then, especially in La. So we

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>were crashing at one of Tyler's high school buddies apartment

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and he had paddle boards and you could literally take

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>your paddle board and walk from there to the water. Yeah,

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>that was awesome. So we're like, cool, we've got the

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>afternoon to kill. Let's go out there and we'll paddle about.

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>How hard can it be? You stand on this board

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>if you've never done this before, it's a massive board.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>It's bigger than a surfboard. It's massive, super what could

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>go wrong? You stand on a massive board, You paddle

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>yourself around and you it's got rubber on the bottom

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so you're not going to slip off, and you get

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>to see the sights and you get to enjoy a

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>nice day at the beach. You know, the water's cold,

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>so you don't have to swim in the water. You're

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>on top of it. Sounds nice, sounds super easy, sounds easy,

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>self explanatory. So we go at the seal rock wrong

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and this is how far from the shore? Like I

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>was probably only yards from memory, that's what it fired.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Six hundred yards Yeah, I guess that's about right. Yeah,

0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>because we had to get through five football fields. Yeah,

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>we had to get it. You can see it from

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>from the coast. And was like, oh, yeah, it sounds

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. There's been a great white out there. Paddleboard

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>out to it. I was, I was. I was a

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>little shocked at how hard it is to even just

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>get out to where you can just stand out and

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.439
<v Speaker 1>paddle board. And the water is crystal clear, which is

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>bad because you could see straight down an infinite amount

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of feet down. I mean it's probably it's probably like

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred feet, but it seems like it could be

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a thousand and you wouldn't know the difference. All deep

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>dark water to me is a thousand feet. Yeah, And

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>there's all sorts of ugly creatures in there, and there

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.439
<v Speaker 1>is to help build the scene. There's this kale is

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.319
<v Speaker 1>that what it is called kelp is like a kelp

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>for it cannot kale kale for kelp, it's kelp, that's right.

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And and there's it's like a kelp forest. So these

0:11:54.679 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>long they're like underwater trees, but they don't come out

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 1>of the bottom. They come out of the surface, and

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>they do grow down right. I didn't know that at all.

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that's a I don't think they grow

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>from the bottom. They grow from the top down. And

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 1>they are twenty feet long, and there's just it's a

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.599
<v Speaker 1>forest of them. So as you're paddleboarding over them, you

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>look and you just see these It's kind of beautiful.

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean you're in crystal clear blue water and you're

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>looking down at these green, upside down trees growing down

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 1>into an infinite depth. So it's beautiful, but terrifying, Absolutely terrifying,

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>especially knowing there's seals that you could see active seals

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.439
<v Speaker 1>swimming around. They're jumping on these big volcanic rocks. And

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>with seals, there's great white sharks. Yeah. So it's this

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 1>big rock that has a bunch of seals on it,

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that has a kelp forest around it. It's like and

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>we decide to go paddle board out to it, which

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>was god awful idea. And you don't don't really realize

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>any of this until you're out there because from the

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>sand you're looking out you're like, dude, you want to

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>do you guys want to go up there? Yeah? Hey,

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>well so and so has some paddle boards. We could

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>just literally does it cost anything, No, it's free. You

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.559
<v Speaker 1>just go grab just walk out there and just go cool.

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Does it take any kind of experience? No, you just

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>literally stand on the board and paddle. Yeah. Skipping the

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>part where you like, you know, everybody's seen like Baywatch

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 1>or whatever where you you grab the board. This mountain

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 1>man had no idea how to do it. You know.

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You grab the board and you're like, I've seen it,

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've seen Uh was a point break, you know,

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>where you put the board down, you paddle out, and

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>then when the wave comes to crest over you, you

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>just kind of hold onto the board and you push

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.079
<v Speaker 1>down and you go through the wave and then you

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.839
<v Speaker 1>go to the next one. Yeah, I didn't do that.

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Did that work out for you? No? I didn't. I

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>put my mind out quickly. I was terrible. So I

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>put my hands down on the board and I was like, cool,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do that thing where you just kind of

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>punched through the water and I hit the wave, the

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>wave hit the board, the board hit my face, and

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>then I kind of rolled around, eventually making it through

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the wave. But it was not It was not like

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the movies. No, I remember you being pretty good. You're

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>just kind of naturally good at that kind of stuff.

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I was bad, and you don't. It's one of these things,

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>like I said, you don't realize it till you're in.

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>You're four hundred yards from the shore and you're in

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>kelp forest with an infinite depth, and you realize, man,

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of scary, and I'm kind of getting tired.

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Which is the problem is when you start getting tired,

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of the problem with most things in life.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>When you start getting tired and fatigued, you lose your

0:14:54.440 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 1>sense of space and balance and perception. And I'll go

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>ahead and I'll jump to the punchline just to say

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>we did not see a shark that day. No, I

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to lead this story like we're going into

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to see a shark bite my foot. We

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't see one, not that we saw. I think he

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was there. Not to say that one didn't see us,

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I think right what you're saying, but his evil spirit.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>What did happen was I got tired and at some

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 1>level when we thought we should probably start heading back,

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I fell off. And that is not the place you

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>want to imagine your two little legs kicking on the

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>side of a massive plastic white board a beacon for

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>a dinner bell. You already look like prey. Yeah, we

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>were like thirty yards from the seal Rock and that's

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>where you fell off into the Kelp forest. By seal

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Rock that has seals on it into the water. I

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>fell off For a split second. I was like, he's gone. Bro, Yeah,

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 1>told me that he's gone. He was a good guy. Well,

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't move really fast or I'd fall off and

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>join you, and I did not want to join you.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember there's two or three of us, Tyler,

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I think was with us. I thought it was just

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>me and you. Yeah, it was just me and you.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Well that's my memory is at that point, it was

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just me. So we were gone. Bro. You didn't make

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>an effort to jump off. And it wasn't like I

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>was having trouble in the water. It was the fact

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that I was in the water that you just don't

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>want to be in the water in the cup forest

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>by seal Rock. And it was sheer panic in my

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>eyes because I just thought, here here goes. You know

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that any minute, mister great white Jaws is going to

0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>take my legs and that's going to be the end,

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and I will have officially died inside my deepest fear.

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the seals are getting taken out. Seals are

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 1>bigger than me, yeah, and they have little legs and

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>little faces like me. I'm not that different than the seal.

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I don't have as much blubber, but man,

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.119
<v Speaker 1>I was watching you. The seals were watching you. Shark

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:28.679
<v Speaker 1>was probably watching you. I remember sitting still like he's gone, bro,

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>just there's nothing you can do about it, and you

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>can't popping out of that water like a wet cat.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I made it back out, and here I think I

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>fell again. I made it back onto the todder board,

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think on the way back in I fell

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>two or three more times. We had passed, we had

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 1>passed the Kelp Forest by then. I remember, right after

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you first got on your board, after you fell the

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>first time, both of us kind of like, you know,

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>like guys like, I mean, we can go in if

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.959
<v Speaker 1>you want to go in, I'm in, yeah, And then

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>we headed in, both realizing that it was really stupid idea.

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>So I take I take questions on this podcast granger

<v Speaker 1>that has probably less fear of any other human I've

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>ever met, probably the least you have the least amount

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of things that scare you. Yeah, as you say, thank you,

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>but thank you. So this would be this would be

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a good subject for a future podcast as I could

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 1>go through some of your greatest greatest fears and read

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.560
<v Speaker 1>them aloud off the cuff, and we could just go

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>down the list and we could say yep, yep, yep, validated, validated.

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that one, and that good be

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 1>a episode now that you know mine, what is yours? Uh?

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Deep dark Water and Neil Diamond music right there, both

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>equally terrifying. You remember that movie Saving Silverman? Yes, and

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately it was a really good movie, and that that

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 1>was the one where what was it saying that they're like,

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I hate Neil Diamond. He goes, yeah, well he's our

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>hero and he's an America songwriter. Yeah, that was a

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>good movie. Still still Neil's not getting off the hook.

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Terrible music. Yeah, that was a funny movie. That was

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the old movies we watched the Van he

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>okay when he gets on the vand when he gets

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 1>in there and he's like, this is a mission of love.

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>It was a it was a funny movie up until

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that point. I was like, see Neil Roon as he does.

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Everyone could relate to Saving Silverman because you've either been

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship like that with an absolute crazy person,

0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>or you've definitely been involved in a friend sir, where

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the friends is in that relationship and all

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the guys are or maybe girls. I can't speak for

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the girls, but all the guys are conspiring on how

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to break them up to get their friend back. We've

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.719
<v Speaker 1>all been in one of those two situations. Everybody's known

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a Yoko Yeah right yeah. Unfortunate for the Beatles. So

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>let's take a break and then let's answer some of

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:27.359
<v Speaker 1>the questions. We don't have the scared questions yet, but

0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 1>remember to email about your greatest fear. We're going to

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>take a break, do a sponsor break, and then me

0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and You're going to answer some questions that people have

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 1>already asked. What's up? Everybody? Thank you for watching and

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.119
<v Speaker 1>listening to this podcast. Wherever you are. I'm grateful that

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you're here. I want to talk for a minute about

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>our sponsor of this podcast. It's a ritual. It's a

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>multi vitamin. Now, you probably take a multi viteum or

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe you've heard about multi vitamins, or maybe you think

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>you want to get into it. But if you just

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>go to your local drug store and just grab something

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 1>off the shelf, what do you know about what you're

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>actually putting into your body? So in steps ritual because

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>these normal multivitamins have sugars, GMOs, synthetic fillers, artificial colorants,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>not to mention animal byproducts like sheep's wool and gelatin

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>from hoofs and hides and all these ingredients that you

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>could find that you don't need. But ritual isn't your

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>typical multi vitamin rituals. Clean vegan friendly formula is made

0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with key nutrients informs that your body could actually use,

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>with no shady extras. And I like to know that

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they have a they have one of a kind visible

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>supply chain that tells you exactly what you're getting because

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I personally, I don't know about you, but if I'm

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>taking a multi vitamin, I don't want it to be

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>need to be sweet, or I don't need it to

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 1>look a certain way with a certain color. I'm not

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>going to go, oh, there's not the color I like.

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.480
<v Speaker 1>That has nothing to do with why you would want

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to take a multi vitamin. I want to take it

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>to upplement things I might have missed from my normal

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.080
<v Speaker 1>diet that day, so I want to supplement with a

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>multi vitamin. They formulated with key nutrients like vitamin D

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>three to help fill gaps in the diet. The refreshing

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>taste delayed release capsules are designed to dissolve later in

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>less sensitive areas of the stomach, so you could you

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 1>could take them with or without food. You're not going

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to get sick. I have a sensitive stomach. I can

0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>get sick off of a normal multi vitamin if I

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have anything in my stomach. Just saying that's a

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>side note. But you always know exactly what you're going

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>to get. It's it's for men, women, teens. It's not.

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not specifically for just men or just for women.

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It's it's right for humans from teen and up. Your

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.560

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 1>at gmail dot com. I've gotten so many questions that

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I've started dividing it into light heavy God Brothers, Amber

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:15.640
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be greatest fear. All these different folders categories.

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I have an other folder, okay, but this is out

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of my light folder. I'll start with the oldest one,

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 1>which comes back in September. It's from Patrick, and Patrick's

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:30.120
<v Speaker 1>from Harrison, Ohio. He says, would you ever be interested

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in writing a book about your career, family, faith, grief,

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.120
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. I feel like you're very knowledgeable and could

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>provide so much insight to these topics. You're my inspiration

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 1>to maybe become a better father, husband, man of God.

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Hope to see you in Cincinnati in October or after

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the world gets back to normal. Ye gee, Patrick, Ohio.

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Bro I'm so sorry we didn't make it to Cincinnati

0:24:55.880 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in October. Obviously, it's the the problem with reading some

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:03.119
<v Speaker 1>of these questions that are old. I'll get a lot

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of these questions. It's interesting, though, Patrick, that you asked

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>this question because I had a call today at two

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:18.919
<v Speaker 1>pm with our book an agency and with their book department,

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and they actually canceled. They canceled. This is the second

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>time they've canceled. I'm not too happy about it. In fact,

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.719
<v Speaker 1>you want going to read, You're gonna read to everyone

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>right now. Her response, this is the book, lady. They

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>canceled the book. Yeah, she said, it's all all caps.

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>It's all on me. I'm truly sorry, Granger. My nanny

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>belled on me today. I'm looking forward to talking to

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.639
<v Speaker 1>you about this book, but don't want to give you

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>anything but one hundred percent of my focus. That's just

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>how I roll, and you deserve better. It won't happen again,

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Scouts on her. So anyway, I thought it sounds sounds

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 1>she sounds nice call. The call about the book is canceled.

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to say that for the sake of

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 1>answering this question. That to say that I'm actually in

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the process of putting a book together, I don't and

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>what that call is going to be about is going

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to be about what's the book going to be about? That?

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 1>That's really like, that's what this lady specializes in, is

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>getting someone's brain and all the scattered pieces and going okay,

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 1>let's focus on that subject, like is it going to

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>be about music or is it going to be about

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>touring band? Is it going to be about grief and loss?

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it going to be about I don't know. Second

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>record producer does with an artist in the studio. Yeah,

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>almost exactly that, taking all those thoughts and just say okay,

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>here's what we're going to focus on. So to answer

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>your question, Patrick, yes, I'm going to get on that.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for asking it, And I don't know when

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll be able to announce anything else about it. Besides,

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that's all I know is wait on a phone call.

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to another out of light category here. This

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>question crumbs from Scott. It says sorry, these are uncensored.

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.879

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 1>I come from a poor farming family, so I'm not

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 1>getting anything for my birthday. But could you possibly think

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:27.639
<v Speaker 1>about wishing me happy sixteenth birthday? I understand if you can't, Buddy,

<v Speaker 1>as a fellow musician here, what what would you say

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 1>to Denver? His question is, when you're working a job

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to pay the bills, when do you know what you

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>could take that leap into full time gigging. That's tough one.

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's tough because when I started touring with you,

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I was still working a job as well, but this

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>was back in the day. But I would work Monday,

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday and Wednesday and leave like Wednesday night with you guys,

0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 1>get home Sunday morning, go back to work Monday, Tuesday,

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and Wednesday. Yeah. So I think the way to answer

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that question, Denver, it's pretty civil. Sounds complicated, but it's

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty simple. When you're paid gigs start interfering with your

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 1>work gigs your day job, and your boss can no

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>longer be flexible because you're missing so much, that's when

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you know it's time to make the leap. And you

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 1>don't do it anytime before then, you don't, I think

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it's I would be ill advised for me to tell

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you to quit your day job and jump into a

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>music gig that doesn't exist yet for the sake of

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>having more time to write and craft. Right, So, you

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>might be thinking I don't have any time because I

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>work so much on having time to write music or

0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to work on my band. But you do. I mean

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you just you cut out some Instagram time, cut out

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:55.120
<v Speaker 1>some Facebook time, cut out some Netflix time. You could

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>always find ways in your day to carve out Okay,

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I got home from work. I just worked eight hours

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.719
<v Speaker 1>at work. I just want to rest. Okay, you got

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to make that sacrifice that and add a little discipline

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to your day and said, now I musta been an

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 1>hour working on guitar or writing a song or practicing

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>with my band in the garage tonight from nine pm

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to eleven pm. I would not advise leaving work until

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you've got the bills paid with your paid gig, and

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 1>even then when you absolutely have to call the boss

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>one more time to get off to go travel and

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 1>he says, hey, man, I'm gonna have to let you

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 1>go if you keep doing these gigs, then you go. Okay,

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>now decision will be made. Right. That was cool. That

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>was cool when it happened because initially, like I said,

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I was having to work. I only had Sunday afternoons

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>off in between us touring and then me doing electrical work,

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and then eventually, eventually all I was doing was playing drums,

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>which was the coolest thing in the world. But yeah,

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>did it until I could just get playing music? Yeah?

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Would you say say yes to everything? It takes it now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's nothing wrong with working that working that

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 1>job and working on your your gig. Every musician in

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the world pretty much has done that. And if it

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 1>means that much to you, you'll stay up late. Yeah,

0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you're right right, You'll stay up late. Yeah, you'll You'll

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 1>carve out that Instagram time. It's crazy, and I've talked

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 1>about this before on this podcast, but it's crazy what

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you could find out about yourself if you time block

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 1>right down your day, like, say, okay, for these next

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>three days, I'm going to log everything I do. Okay, eight,

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I got up at seven, and from seven to eight,

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm mid coffee, brushed my teeth, you know, got dressed,

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 1>took a shower or whatever, and then from nine to ten.

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 1>If you just seriously write that all down, and then

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll be shocked when you go back and read that

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and go dude, I spend three hours and forty five

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>minutes average daily just on Facebook you know, there's your

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>rehearsal time, there's your songwriting time. Yeah, you know, seven

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>hours in the bathroom. That's embarrassing. Yeah, seven hours in

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom, an hour every day, catching up on Grangersmith's podcast.

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>What that is great to keep doing? Keep doing that? Well,

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>go another light here and then we'll switch to heavy deal. Uh.

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>This is from Tony once again. I'm kind of catching

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>up here on emails. This is from September, but it

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 1>says he's from Chico, California. Love that town, Love our

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 1>fans in Chico. What's up? And this is a little

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>bit of a long one, so I'm going to try

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to I'm trying to find out what are you saying here? Said,

0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I have the pleasure of meeting you during a meet

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and greet on December seventh, twenty nineteen, in Chico, California,

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Senator Theater. It was great, and I had

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the pleasure of giving you a Christmas ornament. It's funny

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that we're reading this now in December. We're a year

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>removed from a very different twenty nineteen. He says, you're

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 1>my favorite artist, more than King George, more than garth Man.

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, dude. He said, I'm a big fan and

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm hooked on the podcast. That's so cool, he said,

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 1>leading into my question. I have so many he says.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I know your music is growing more mature. It seems

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>like a natural progression while many artists are still recording

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the same kind of message material year after year. Actual

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>question here, it says Grander, looking back on your catalog

0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and the songs over the years, are there songs that

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you now rethink maybe a message or a thought that

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>was good at the time, but maybe not right for

0:34:53.000 --> 0:35:00.040
<v Speaker 1>me now? If so, can you share your thoughts. I

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 1>think that's a tough one. I mean, nothing's gonna I

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 1>mean a song that you wrote in the past, is

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>it applicable to you right now. You've been playing my catalog,

0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:13.480
<v Speaker 1>You've played almost everything in my catalog going back to

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four five. And it's a good question.

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a legit question because you would think I wrote

0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 1>a song about a girl I was dating for say

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>per se, and now I've long since broke up with

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that girl and I'm now married with children. Why would

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I ever sing a song about that old girl that

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>was not a good girl. And so that's probably what

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>he's thinking, I see what you're saying. Or I don't

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>want to sing about me and my buddies in college,

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, with bonfires and trucks, because I don't do

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>that every day anymore. Maybe they's thinking that something like that,

0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's a good question. But I am.

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Every year that goes by, every year I get removed

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 1>from an album, an old album, I get less critical

0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:16.439
<v Speaker 1>of it, which is weird. When our album first comes

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 1>out and the year that follows, that's when I'm the

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 1>most critical about those lyrics and that melody and that

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:24.359
<v Speaker 1>music and those songs, and I think, oh, I could

0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 1>have done that better, or I wish I wouldn't have

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:30.719
<v Speaker 1>said it that way, or but when ten years go by,

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it becomes like an antique, and then you kind of

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the scars and the scratches and the dings and

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the wobbling ness of it. You know, it's antique. It's

0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:46.560
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. It's supposed to be have its flaws. Yeah,

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like a yearbook, you know. So it's fun. I'll

0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 1>sing those songs as long as people are excited about

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 1>them at the live show, and I don't I've said

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 1>this before I don't have much interest into playing music

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at my shows just for the sake of me loving

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that music. I like to play it if other people

0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.160
<v Speaker 1>love it, because then in turn, that makes me feel

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>better about playing it. Yeah, and aren't they like, once

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>you write that song and release that song, it only

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 1>partially belongs to you. Those are now someone else's first kiss, dude,

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 1>last kiss. That's great, you know, like that's only partially yours,

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's kind of your duty to give them that

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>nostalgia that is associated with that song. That's great. We

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.440
<v Speaker 1>mean you have had that discussion in the van, like

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 1>late night drives in the van, and we've had these

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 1>these long drawn out discussions on why do you make

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>music or why do you perform music? And who does

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that music belong to? Because you're right, at some level,

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 1>when I write we'll say, we'll say Earld it was Junior.

0:37:56.160 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll just say America. When I write America, that's not

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.400
<v Speaker 1>mine anymore once it releases, because there's people that like

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the that's their bumping song, or you take a

0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:12.479
<v Speaker 1>love song like happens like that. I can't I can't

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 1>look at somebody that literally got married and that was

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:19.120
<v Speaker 1>their first dance. I can't look at them and go,

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:22.879
<v Speaker 1>that's not your song, that's my song. It's my song. Yeah,

0:38:23.360 --> 0:38:27.320
<v Speaker 1>So I have to assume their their partial ownership in

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:30.359
<v Speaker 1>everything once it's released to the world, and I it's

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 1>not me speaking because I feel I feel an ownership

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to some of George Strait songs and some of all

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the music that I love. I feel partial ownership, like

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 1>that's mine. That's why people say that's our song. A couple,

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that's our song. No one pulls out a you know,

0:38:47.120 --> 0:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer's agreement and goes, where does it say you

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:52.359
<v Speaker 1>own this song? That's my jam. Yeah, that's my jam.

0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>They don't say that's his jam that I that I

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:57.719
<v Speaker 1>listened to, that's his jam. He wrote. The term is

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:01.440
<v Speaker 1>that's my jam. That's our song. Everybody's been to a

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>concert where they either didn't play that song or they

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't play that song, but then they came back and

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 1>played on played it on the encore and you're like, ah, man,

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.239
<v Speaker 1>if they didn't play that song, I was gonna be

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:15.279
<v Speaker 1>really upset because that's your memories. It's closely a sign,

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 1>closely assigned to you, like something you did or someone

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:22.359
<v Speaker 1>you were with. Yeah. So to say that an old

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>song of mine that I might not, I might not

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 1>experience that life moment anymore, or it might be embarrassed

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:31.919
<v Speaker 1>of it for any reason. To say that I'm gonna

0:39:31.960 --> 0:39:34.919
<v Speaker 1>pull it out of my catalog forever is to say

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that no one else because I can't relate to it anymore,

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:42.800
<v Speaker 1>no one else can either. And that's not that's not

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:44.919
<v Speaker 1>a way to approach it. I'm not saying that every

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 1>artist doesn't do that, because there's probably a lot of

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.239
<v Speaker 1>artists that do that that say Nope, ain't never played

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that song again, not that I like, it's pretty selfish.

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I heard, for instance, I heard, you know Corey Morrow,

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>who's a Texas, Texas country sing Corey Morrow is known

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>regionally in the state of Texas, and I've known him

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>for twenty years. He had a come to Jesus experience

0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in his life where he suddenly became Corey Morrow the

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 1>evangelist really, and what that did was suddenly he didn't

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>want to play certain songs, like he has a song

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 1>called big City Stripper. He will and it was like

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:26.120
<v Speaker 1>one of his most popular songs. He will not play

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>big City Stripper. This is our merch guy Matt used

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to work for him. This is where I heard the

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 1>story from. So Matt told me just the other day.

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like Corey will not play it and people get mad.

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not advocating for it or against it in this scenario.

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying it's a scenario of a time when

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>an artist goes, I'm never playing that song again. That's interesting.

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:50.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's a great question. Although that's that's slightly different.

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Well no, it's not different, but like he can't be like, yeah,

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm married, I met my wife. Our first dance to

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that song makes me think of my wife. Well, here's

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a question from Bobby, and it says see where he's from.

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it says that. It says, hey, Grander,

0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>did you ever have any other album titles for Remington?

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:20.320
<v Speaker 1>If so, what were they and how did you decide

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 1>on Remington from the start your album Remington is how

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I found you, and Remington just happens to be a

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:32.160
<v Speaker 1>significant part of my family tree. Thank you, Bobby, Appreciate you, Bobby,

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for the question. I could probably say that there's

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.840
<v Speaker 1>some albums that I went back and forth on a

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:44.200
<v Speaker 1>title for Remington is one of the ones that I'm

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:47.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure, and this was in I think Remington was

0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>like twenty fifteen, and I'm almost positive that Remington was

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a title that I wanted for the album before I

0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>even wrote that song. And sometimes it just happens sometimes

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I go, Man, what if this album was called Remington.

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just like a solid American name, And then I

0:42:10.800 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 1>could base the theme of the album around that title,

0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and so then obviously I had to write the song.

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting, but I'm thinking that was a reverse process.

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I wrote, I had the album title, and then I

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>wrote the song, and then the album was named after

0:42:26.719 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the song, which was actually a title, So it's all backwards.

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested to know why you're saying, Bobby that Remington

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:38.520
<v Speaker 1>is a significant part of your family treat It's interesting,

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think I answered the best they could. Here

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:47.360
<v Speaker 1>we go. This is this question is from Colton and says, Hey, Grangeer,

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>how do I deal with anxiety and depression? That's all

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:54.440
<v Speaker 1>it says, one sentence, Hey Grangeer, how do I deal

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 1>with anxiety and depression? And I will say this is

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:02.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the most and types of emails I get

0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. It's because we're human and no

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:11.440
<v Speaker 1>one is immune to this. It doesn't No amount of

0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 1>money makes you immune to it. There's no secret. All

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:22.800
<v Speaker 1>humans fall into this category. You have extremely poor people

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that fall into this category. You have extremely wealthy people

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 1>that fall into this category. You have people that are

0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:34.359
<v Speaker 1>single and looking for love or friendship that fall into

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this category. Then you have people that are happily married

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:40.880
<v Speaker 1>with tons of friends that fall into this category. You

0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 1>have everybody in between. So, Caleb, how do I answer this?

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 1>For so many people? You know me well enough. Yeah,

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:53.880
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I don't just bring Caleb in here

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>because he's some dude in the warehouse. Like you know,

0:43:57.280 --> 0:44:01.840
<v Speaker 1>we've had moments. We both have had high moments together,

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and then me and you have had the lowest of moments.

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:07.759
<v Speaker 1>I've seen you at your lowest, and you've seen me

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:10.840
<v Speaker 1>at my lowest. I've seen you there multiple times, and

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you've seen me there multiple times. I've also seen you

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>at your highest moments, and you've seen me at my highest.

0:44:16.520 --> 0:44:18.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's why you're on this podcast to help me

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:20.719
<v Speaker 1>with I'm not just I wouldn't just go to a

0:44:20.800 --> 0:44:23.840
<v Speaker 1>random person and say help me answer this question. So

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:29.439
<v Speaker 1>how do you say? How do you deal with this. Well,

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking to someone the other day kind

0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:36.040
<v Speaker 1>of about this situation. I still deal with those two

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 1>anxiety and depression, and sometimes I can say it like that, Well,

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>there's this old saying, if you live with one foot

0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:50.040
<v Speaker 1>in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissing on today,

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:53.759
<v Speaker 1>meaning you're not really focusing on what's happening right now.

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And look so good. That is so good man, looking

0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:01.200
<v Speaker 1>at this comment. You can take not because they could

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:04.840
<v Speaker 1>both be in different areas. But like, let's say, anxiety

0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and depression. Sometimes depression can be associated with your past,

0:45:09.719 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and anxiety is associated with your future. So that goes

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:17.600
<v Speaker 1>back to the whole living and yesterday and tomorrow and

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 1>pissing on today. Is that if you were living, if

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you can remind yourself that I am here right now,

0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm here right now sitting next to grange Er doing

0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, that helps me kind of be more present,

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.279
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm not focused on what happened in the

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 1>past and I'm not focused on the anxiety of the future.

0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So not living in your head helps me, you know,

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.240
<v Speaker 1>because you can get depressed about what you couldn't change

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 1>about the past, and you can get anxious about the

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>fears that you have about the future, but you're not

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:56.919
<v Speaker 1>living in today. And we talked about it once before.

0:45:57.000 --> 0:46:00.880
<v Speaker 1>It could always get worse. You think it can, but

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it can. So trying trying to live in the moment

0:46:08.000 --> 0:46:11.800
<v Speaker 1>as much as you possibly can helps you not focus

0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>on the past or the future. I'm not saying that

0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>like I know exactly I'll do it. I'm just saying, no,

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that's the same. That's the same place I was going

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to go with this answer is because your question is

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:29.320
<v Speaker 1>how do I deal? You didn't say how do I

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:32.399
<v Speaker 1>fix it? Or how do I avoid it? You said

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 1>how do I deal? And that's the correct way to

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 1>ask it, because there is no fix and there is

0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>no avoiding it. So you deal with it by pulling

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:47.359
<v Speaker 1>yourself into the moment and sometimes the present moment. Say

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:51.400
<v Speaker 1>you're driving a car. Sometimes the present moment is what

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:54.279
<v Speaker 1>are my hands doing on the steering wheel? Okay, I've

0:46:54.280 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 1>got I got my hands right here, then gripping What

0:46:56.960 --> 0:47:00.279
<v Speaker 1>does that steering wheel feel like? It's that fine of

0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>a moment, like what is this What does it feel

0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:07.320
<v Speaker 1>like to be sitting in this seat? Like how do

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I feel the seat of this vehicle under me, that

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:16.120
<v Speaker 1>finite and and when my world has closed in so

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 1>much that I'm overwhelmed with that kind of anxiety, then

0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the one thing to pull me out. If I'm not

0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:29.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna if I'm not going to get spiritual in this conversation,

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the one thing to pull me out is to be

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 1>in the moment which to straddle this. This spiritual God

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:40.640
<v Speaker 1>is always in the present. And there's many times in

0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bible where God, God talks about I am before

0:47:44.680 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Abraham was I am. Everything about God and Christ is present.

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:55.080
<v Speaker 1>It's here and now, and it's forever. It always was

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and it always will be, and it always is. But

0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:01.279
<v Speaker 1>it's always present, moment present. That's when you see in

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Easter everyone puts their signs in their yard that says

0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>he is risen. And if you think about that for

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:09.799
<v Speaker 1>a long time, you're like, that doesn't that sentence didn't

0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:12.120
<v Speaker 1>even make any sense. It wasn't it. He was risen,

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:17.760
<v Speaker 1>He has risen, he will rise, but he is risen.

0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't make English sense, But it's it's because

0:48:23.160 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it's currently happening. He is. He is risen. And if

0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>all else fails to way to find God is now

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:39.760
<v Speaker 1>in this moment, not tonight or tomorrow or Sunday morning

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>at church, or or regretting something you did in the past,

0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:46.840
<v Speaker 1>or remembering something that was good that is no longer.

0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 1>It's right now and it's as present is. Like you said,

0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.919
<v Speaker 1>we're on this podcast, I'm nowhere else in this world

0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:57.400
<v Speaker 1>right now. I got all these things apparently going on,

0:48:57.680 --> 0:49:01.480
<v Speaker 1>like I'm family and Christmas is coming up, and where

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:03.040
<v Speaker 1>are we going to go visit? Are we gonna go

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:06.239
<v Speaker 1>see mom? And what's going on in Gee apparel? Right now?

0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:09.000
<v Speaker 1>What work is Caleb missing that I took him out

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of so he could be None. None of that matters

0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>except for where we are talking in this bus to

0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:18.200
<v Speaker 1>this camera. This is this is our lives and this

0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:22.000
<v Speaker 1>is this is where we are. So Colton, wherever you are,

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:27.600
<v Speaker 1>stop for a minute. Breathe feel that literally the breath

0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in your nostrils and out of your mouth. That's where

0:49:31.680 --> 0:49:35.400
<v Speaker 1>you are, and there is peace in that present moment.

0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 1>There is a lack of anxiety. Cannot live anxiety and

0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:47.960
<v Speaker 1>depression cannot live in your current breath. I agree. And

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:50.279
<v Speaker 1>if you have one foot in yesterday and one foot

0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and tomorrow, you're pissing on the day. I like that,

0:49:52.640 --> 0:49:57.319
<v Speaker 1>such a good endagery. I love that we got time

0:49:57.400 --> 0:50:02.480
<v Speaker 1>for one more you call that. Oh yeah. This question

0:50:02.920 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>is from Dawson and it says, Hey, Grangeera, I've been

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:09.520
<v Speaker 1>a longtime fan of yours and my girlfriend and I

0:50:09.680 --> 0:50:12.759
<v Speaker 1>really like your music, especially three songs in particular when

0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the good guys win. That's why I love Dirt Roads,

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:18.399
<v Speaker 1>and they were there. I was wondering if I could

0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 1>have the honor to propose to my girlfriend on stage,

0:50:21.080 --> 0:50:24.279
<v Speaker 1>and if you could help me with doing that. Well,

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope she doesn't listen to this podcast. Yeah, I

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:31.360
<v Speaker 1>might have just blown it. Maybe we don't say Dawson's

0:50:31.400 --> 0:50:35.040
<v Speaker 1>last name. Yeah, we won't say that's if there's been

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:39.040
<v Speaker 1>another Dawson. Oh yeah, somewhere out there, there's a Dawson

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:42.959
<v Speaker 1>who's not going to propose, who's like, oh no, let's

0:50:43.040 --> 0:50:46.320
<v Speaker 1>just let's roll with the fact that I've now read it,

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I've now revealed it, and hopefully your girlfriend does not

0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:52.759
<v Speaker 1>listen to this podcast. And this email came on November seventeenth,

0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:57.240
<v Speaker 1>so we're about we're exactly a month removed from that email.

0:50:58.680 --> 0:51:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So the answer is yes, and I want you to

0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 1>let's see, I'm trying to figure out how to do

0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:11.279
<v Speaker 1>this without it being without tour manager Chris getting overwhelmed,

0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but just give him his phone number. Let's just say

0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 1>his phone number over the podcast. But we have had

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:22.920
<v Speaker 1>many people propose on our stage. There's a time when

0:51:23.000 --> 0:51:27.080
<v Speaker 1>happens like that was popular on the radio. There was

0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:31.279
<v Speaker 1>like a six month period when every single show, every day,

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:35.759
<v Speaker 1>every single show, somebody proposed to a girl, so much

0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.240
<v Speaker 1>so that now we're starting to see the divorces coming

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in with those same proposals. Full circle, Yeah, full circle, bro,

0:51:43.880 --> 0:51:47.400
<v Speaker 1>how is it? How's your wife? We split up? I

0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:52.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen you since split up, since twenty seventeen or whatever.

0:51:52.239 --> 0:51:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it happens like that. It happens like that. So, yeah, Dawson,

0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:59.279
<v Speaker 1>my tour manager's name is Chris Lee. You could find

0:51:59.400 --> 0:52:03.480
<v Speaker 1>his Instagram is Chris Lee Country and I believe that's

0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:06.920
<v Speaker 1>his Twitter also, So hit him up dmm on there

0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and just say hey. Granger said on his podcast that

0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I could contact you. Now. The biggest problem with this

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.440
<v Speaker 1>is we don't know when we're touring because of the craziness.

0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:18.520
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, if you could hang on a little

0:52:18.560 --> 0:52:21.640
<v Speaker 1>bit buddy, hang on to twenty twenty one and we'll

0:52:21.760 --> 0:52:24.520
<v Speaker 1>be back around your town and I would love to

0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:27.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to get you on stage and propose to

0:52:27.600 --> 0:52:31.319
<v Speaker 1>your girlfriend. And Caleb, do you think you'll be back

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:35.520
<v Speaker 1>for another podcast? Due? I think do you think you'll

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you think you'll be back? Oh oh yeah, I'll be

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:41.680
<v Speaker 1>back whenever you need. And you guys comment below if

0:52:41.719 --> 0:52:43.759
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't see more Caleb. But I did that last time.

0:52:43.800 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 1>It was like overwhelming. Bring Caleb back. So I know

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I know what it is. Everybody likes

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>the train wreck. I know what it is. If you

0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:56.200
<v Speaker 1>got one foot in yesterday and one foot tomorrow, you're

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:59.439
<v Speaker 1>pissing on today. The stuff like, it's like the little

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:04.239
<v Speaker 1>nuggets what you bring to the world. Boom. So let's

0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:07.360
<v Speaker 1>go get to work. Let's see you guys. Thanks for
