15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: how did you and Blake become friends? How did you?

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,760

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: We were and it are we still are?

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: You know, I don't Blake had got here before I did.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: Blake was working on his career long before, not long before,

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: but a few years before I got here, and so

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 4: he had started having some radio success, and we literally

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: met at some event in Nashville and just started hanging out.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: And then he had lived in Hitton County and I

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: was in Dixon, so we weren't that far apart. Both

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: realized that we liked hunting. I invited him on a

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: hunting trip on a trip that I was doing in Kansas.

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, yeah, in Kansas, And at that trip we

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: became like we were buddies.

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: I knew right then that I liked the.

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: Guy, and we were both kind of like I said,

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: he had already had a couple of songs on the radio,

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: and then I started having some success at Broken Bow,

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: and then we just stayed in touch. I mean, at

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: one point we were we were with each other all

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: the time. Every time we could do something together we would.

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: And then he got divorced from Cat and he and

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: Miranda got married. And I had known Miranda a little

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: bit and really thought that Miranda and I had a

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: decent relationship. And she used to tell a story about

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: how she came to Fanfair and it was one of

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: my early on first two or three years of Fanfare,

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: when he still called it Fanfair, you know, and she

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: tells the story, and I remember her telling me that

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: how she waited after the show to meet some of

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: the artists, and that I came out and was the

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: only one that came out afterwards and gave.

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: Her an autograph. And so I thought, man, this is

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: gonna be awesome.

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: You know, my buddy's marrying this girl who's turned into

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: an artist of her own right and turn in this.

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's great. But something happened with them.

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: Two got married, and I don't know, she was no

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: longer a Craig Morgan fan for some reason, you know,

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: Oh, but you know that's history. And here we are now.

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: I remember when you were doing the Opry Blake when

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: him I think him and Gwen were playing from his ranch.

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I was there. I've just I've done

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: Opry shows in the past year, But I was he

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: setting you up? Were you setting him up? Are you

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: going back and forth? Always it's yeah, it's it's horrible.

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: I will tell you though. We uh uh.

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: When my son died, a lot of my friends uh

64
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: in this business came out there and I had, man,

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: I gained so much respect and admiration already loved all

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: these people, but it's really weird.

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

68
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: And Jerry was with me, it's weird when I know

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: them and I love them and they're I consider them friends.

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: But when a guy like Tray Satkins, Blake Shelton, Jim

71
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: and Brown and John Colleen, these guys show up at

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: at my son's funeral and they stand in line with

73
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: everyone else out there, asked nothing, didn't want to come

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: in early, you know, I it just, man, it just

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: floored me.

76
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: And when I'll never forget.

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: We were we.

78
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: Were downstairs and Cec had come in and was talking.

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: She sang it my son's funeral, and uh, you know,

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I don't know have

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: a sense of.

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to comprehend my people and and and them

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: to know that I appreciate them being there. But I

84
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: remember Blake coming in and we cried, you know, we

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: cried together, and he hugged me, and I felt such

86
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: an embrace of friendship from him.

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: Uh.

88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: And I knew.

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: I knew then that there was nothing that Blake or

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: I could do that would sever that friendship.

91
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: It wouldn't happen.

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: And I also at that moment became Gwenn's bugs fan.

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: I had met Gwen.

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: Via FaceTime a few times when Blake and I were together,

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: and he was like giddy, silly and love FaceTime in her,

96
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: and we would we would lay there together and sit

97
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: and talk to Gwen or her own FaceTime, you know,

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: And I really liked her, but I didn't really know her.

99
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: But when he.

100
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: Came in the room, I said, where's Gwen? And you know,

101
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: was she not able to come? He said, no, she's outside.

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: She was being respectful and she did not want to

103
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: come in until she was invited in.

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,400

Speaker 8: I'd met him briefly before, once or twice. I met

150
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 8: him because I'd founded the pavement for so long, for

151
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 8: so many years, before I ever had a record deal,

152
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 8: I used to play at an open mic thing a

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 8: bunch of player, studio session guys and stuff on the

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 8: Upper West Side. I'd had a gig every Monday night,

155
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 8: and after my Monday night gig, I used to go

156
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 8: to another place after ours and jam with these guys.

157
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 8: And one of them was a sax parent named Richie Kanata,

158
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 8: who was Billy Joel's early sax player. I put a

159

203
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 8: To do these dates, I'll cancel. You're such a huge

204
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 8: influence on me. He was like, you're the guy you're hired,

205
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 8: you know, And and he did. And I'm like, man,

206
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 8: he gave me a million dates.

207
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: You know.

208
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 8: We played the Garden a bunch of times. I don't

209
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,119
Speaker 8: even know how many times you know Fenway Park.

210
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: Ah Field.

211
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 8: I lived around a corner from Fenway Park when I

212
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 8: was in college. For about a year, I could never

213
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 8: go to Fenway Park. I didn't have money to go

214
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 8: to Fenway Park. Then one day I hop into shuttle

215
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 8: bus hop out of my hotel, getting a shuttle bus,

216
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 8: drive through a tunnel, and I get out of a

217
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 8: van in the middle of the field in Fenway Park

218
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 8: because I'm going to open for Billy that night, And.

219
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: I thought this was how I was supposed to see

220
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: famwa to park.

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: This is so much better. Darius Rutger and I had

222
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: a great conversation, and part of that was him sharing

223
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: the story of the time he got to perform with

224
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: his musical hero Al Green with hooting the Blowfish. What's

225
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 2: the highlight professionally and what is kind of the low light?

226
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: Because I kind of want to wrap hoodie up and

227
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: move to a different part of your career. But what's

228
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: the highlight where you're like, God, dang, you can't believe it.

229
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: This is it? And then what's kind of like, man,

230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're gonna be able to do

231
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: this anymore.

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: Oh, I think the highlight was for me. I'm sure

233
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 5: for each member has their different highlight, but the highlight

234
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: for me was when we played the Billboard Music Awards.

235
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: With Al Green. That was.

236
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: Ki who you sang as a kid. Yes, was one

237
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: of those.

238
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: We had played every every award show and they want

239
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: us to play the Billboard Music Awards and we just

240
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 5: didn't want to play it. We played every show, and

241
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: Billboards is different. You know who's gonna win. You know,

242
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 5: it's not like the politics of having to play something

243
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 5: else so you could get a win.

244
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: You know who's gonna win.

245
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 5: And so we weren't going to play it, and they

246
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 5: say to us, if you play it, we'll get All

247
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: Green to play with you. And I was like, yeah right.

248
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 5: They were like, no, if you play it, we'll get

249
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 5: All Green to play with you. I was like, when

250
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: you get All Green to play with us, we'll say yes,

251
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: And sure enough they got. I don't know what they

252
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: did or how much they paid them, but he said yes,

253
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 5: and that performance I start like every now and then.

254
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: That's one of the few things I still watch it

255
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 5: from us.

256
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: Can you remember it vividly from doing it?

257
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: I remember, like I'm standing on stage right now, like

258
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 5: when Dean hit that baseline to take me to the river,

259
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: and Al walked out. You could first of all, you

260
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: could have shot the crowd in the face because nobody

261
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 5: expected it. And second of all, he went off, Bobby,

262
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: you can look at You're in TV. You do this

263
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 5: for a living. We're playing over our time we're supposed

264
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: to play and is Al won't stop. And as long

265
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 5: as Al jammin, we're jamming, so Al won't stop. They

266
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 5: go to they go to the announcer to go to

267
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: commercial and we are killing it so hard. They changed

268
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: their mind and going back to the stage.

269
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: That never happened. It could have cost money, never happens.

270
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: It was awesome.

271
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Okay, dang, that's crazy. Yeah, just I mean, I'm thinking

272
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: of the TV part of it, not even your career.

273
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, it was crazy. They they go to

274
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: Bardow up in their corner like, well, let's go back.

275
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: That never happened.

276
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: I know, it was crazy.

Speaker 2: Love. Terry Clark was talking to Terry Clark and she

280
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: talked about Toby Keith and talks about their time touring

281
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: and even partying together. I'm gonna ask you about Tobe

Speaker 10: Well, it's not just one memory.

286
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 11: I mean I toured with him and he kinda I

287
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 11: kind of looked at him like a big brother.

288
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 10: You know.

289
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 11: We talked a lot. He gave a lot of advice.

290
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 11: He was always very honest, brutally honest and told the truth.

291
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 11: I would ask him questions that I think some people

292
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 11: were like, wow, I can't believe she just asked him

293
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 11: that question. And we would after the shows, you know,

294
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 11: go to his bus and I would just get to

295
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 11: be a part of like a Toby Keith bus party.

296
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 11: Everybody's the bus is bouncing up and down. Brian O'Connell's

00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 10: To be in the cool kids club.

300
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 11: And Toby played basketball with the crew and the bands

301
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 11: every single day. And I have a radio show and

00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: Act like I don't know that, by.

00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,720

Speaker 11: it was my childhood dream to get a CMA award.

315
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 11: So I'm like, man, if Bobby Bones would just, you know, retire, well.

00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: They ever, Well, please God, I can't retire. I don't.

317
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to retire. I have no work. If

318
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: I'm doing this, that's that's funny.

319
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 10: But yeah, But back to Toby, he was. He was great.

320
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 11: We would always like dip together back then I was

321
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 11: I would dip school and I know, I'd walk on

322
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 11: the bus and he'd hand me he had a solo

323
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 11: cup with a napkin in it, and he'd borrow one

324
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 11: from me, and I borrow one from him and just

325
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 11: stand there talking just about everything. And I remember getting

326
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 11: really hammered with Dean Dylan on his bus and I

327
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 11: don't even remember getting back to my bus, and Toby said,

328
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 11: I watched you walk back to your bus and make

329
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 11: sure you were all right.

330
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 10: How are you feeling today?

331
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 11: And then I you know, he just like always so cool,

332
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 11: so respectful, and when I remember one thing he said

333
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 11: when he was doing press for that tour and they said, well,

334
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 11: Terry clarksh're coming out of your opening act and he said,

335
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 11: he said, Derrek Clark is one of the most underrated

336
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 11: artists out there. And that to me just like he's

337
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 11: not He's not somebody just throw stuff out there like that,

338
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 11: because he's so honest.

339
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 10: It meant the world to me that he said that.

340
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 11: And then I interviewed him for the radio show and

341
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 11: I think this was right before he got diagnosed with

342
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 11: cancer or right around the time, because it was it

343
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 11: was right around two years ago, a little over two

344
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 11: years ago. And the first thing he said was, you know,

345
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 11: I'm all, you know, getting ready to interview, and I'm like, okay, okay, Toby,

346
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 11: you're ready ready to He goes you want to dip, like,

347
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 11: did you hear me?

348
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 10: But no, he's just he's just always great.

349
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 11: We talked a bit after the interview and he said,

350
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 11: call me, we'll go to lunch because I was frustrated

351
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 11: with creative stuff. And you know, I'm like, I don't

352
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 11: I could really stand to talk to you right now

353
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 11: and get your advice on a few things.

354
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 10: And he has he had a record label and stuff.

355
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 11: And he said, call me, We'll go to lunch, and

356
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 11: the Coole Covid thing was going. It was just, yeah,

357
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 11: I didn't get to get to I wish I'd gotten

358
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 11: to get together with him one more time, you know,

359
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 11: but it's a tremendous loss. I think he is has

360
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 11: He was one of the greatest songwriters of all time

361
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 11: in country music and a great entertainer, a great guy

362
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 11: and didn't bother him to disagree with you and didn't

363
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 11: care if he didn't care if he agreed or disagreed.

364
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 10: He just said what he felt.

365
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: Randy Hauser was in the movie Killers of the Flower

366
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: Movie and he got to work with Leo DiCaprio. That's

367
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: pretty cool. He was doing that while filming the movie,

368
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: and he told us what Leo said to him on

369
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: set one time. Mike Mike d loved Killers of the

370
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: Flower Movie. Did he My wife read the book and

372
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 7: I read it when I got cash.

373
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: So we're waiting for it because it's an Apple Apple movie, right, Mike, yep.

374
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,760

375
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: My wife is, oh, yeah, yeah, like very much. What

376
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: part of Oklahoma like near ish Tulsa.

377
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's where.

378
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: Yes, So she knows a lot about it through like

379
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: three and four generations that would talk about it, right,

380
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: and like she's moved by the story because she has

381
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: personal relationships with people that had personal relationships. Yeah. So Mike,

382
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you ask the first couple questions. I

383
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: know you've seen it, I know the story, but you're

384
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 2: way more educated on the actual movie.

385
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 12: The TENI have is with Leonardo DiCaprio and one of

386
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 12: my other favorite movies he did was Scorsese was Wolf

387
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 12: of Wall Street. And I've seen like a behind the

388
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 12: scenes whip of him like totally in the zone, like

389
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 12: doesn't even look like he's there, and then right when

390
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 12: the camera goes on, he instantly goes into that character.

391
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: Yeah does he do that?

392
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

393
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 7: I mean one of the like, uh, one of the

394
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 7: things that was noticeable by well he's he's also when

395
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 7: he doesn't look like he's working his mind. Like one

396
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 7: of the strangest things would happen was like between like

397
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: between like takes, if we had like downtime, changing out

398
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 7: film stuff like that, just hanging out talking I did,

399
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 7: I'd notice that he would like we'd just kind of

400
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 7: shoot to shoot the ship, you know, I don't know

401
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 7: if I can say that all. Yeah, but and then

402
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: you know, like the next day he would come back

403
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 7: to the set and we'd be talking and he would

404
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 7: repeat things that I said to him just like me,

405
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 7: like he would download my accent and stuff like that,

406
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 7: which is crazy and uh, but no, he would, you know,

407
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 7: he like there be time we'd just be throwing a

408
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 7: ball or something out out in the yard, and then

409
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 7: you know it would be time to.

410
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: Go back in.

411
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 7: You know, like very normal, very normal guy.

412
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 3: But also freaking.

413
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 7: Amazing whenever whenever they would yell action, how he would

414
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 7: just freaking go at it.

415
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 5: You know.

416
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 7: It's just kind of like stepping on the Grand Ole

417
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 7: Opera and them saying if your turn and like doing

418
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 7: what I do you kind of have to Just one

419
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 7: of the things that was so cool about it to

420
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 7: me and I enjoyed about the whole process is that

421
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 7: I was, first of all, was scared of death, you know,

422
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 7: like I'd never done this. I was like, I don't

423
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 7: know what the hell I'm doing here. And but the

424
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 7: same is even now before I go on stage, I'm

425
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 7: a little anxious and like these people want to hate

426
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 7: me whatever. But when it came time to go to

427
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 7: the set from you know, the actors a little where

428
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 7: we're staged, to go to the actual getting cameras, the

429
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 7: same the same gear was shifted.

430
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: In my being that that.

431
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: Is when I'm walking to the stage, go play music

432
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 7: and that and it became it fed me like to

433
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 7: go do it rather than you know, all the every

434
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 7: fear was gone. It was just go time, really, so

435
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 7: I seek. I could see that in him as well.

436
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: Man, that is awesome that you're just weren't so self conscious.

437
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 7: Oh I was, but but I was able to like

438
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 7: that blocking mechanism that that happens with going to make music.

439
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 7: It totally was the same thing.

440
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: Was it like watching a different kind of artist? For example,

441
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: got a major League baseball game. Never bet it didn't

442
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: go until I was older, but I would see a

443
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: like a real athlete, Like, oh God, I thought I'd

444
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: seen a real athlete until I saw, oh, a freaking

445
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: real athlete.

446
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: That's what it was. Absolute damn lutely it was.

447
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 7: It was like and first of all, I'd never seen

448
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 7: this whole process at all, you know, and so it

449
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 7: was it was strange that it was, and I'd never

450
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 7: really done and I'd never done it. And the first

451
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 7: first scene I shot was the scene that actually made

452
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 7: the film. There's a lot of scenes that got cut,

453
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 7: you know, they should had hundreds of hours of stuff,

454
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 7: but they, Uh, the first scene that I shot was

455
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 7: the scene that actually made the film. And it was

456
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 7: like four hours of like going back because they shoot it,

457
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 7: you know, from every angle. Everybody's in the scene has

458
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 7: to do their thing. But and I remember just being

459
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 7: like totally like.

460
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 3: What the hell, where's Martin? Of course saying you're over there.

461
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 7: And and he's coming over to me, and he's standing

462
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 7: over my shoulder right here, and I'm sitting at that

463
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 7: this desk, you know, it's like that bigger than that

464
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 7: thing but like old school, and I'm sitting there and

465
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 7: he's explaining what he wants out of me and talking

466
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 7: to me, and I'm literally.

467
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: In lah Lahlen.

00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 7: four times, and Marty he's over there in this other

470
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 7: room where their viewing what's going on. He comes out,

471
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,840

472
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 7: had seen a guy the day before I got there,

473
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 7: and I stayed on set all day dressed ready to

474
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 7: go to shoot. This scene didn't happen, but I'd seen

475
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 7: a guy h and another and another scene.

476
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,960

Speaker 7: Uh, they shot his this thing like I don't know,

478
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 7: it must have been twenty something times because they couldn't

479
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 7: get it and get it and you could sense the

480
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 7: you could sense the air leaking out of the room

481
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 7: and wasting time and money, and so I was just

482
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 7: like went back to my bus out and I was like, please, God,

483
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 7: don't let me be that guy to study studies. Well,

484
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 7: so then he comes up and he goes and he goes.

00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 10: With people like that.

499
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 9: Okay, So I like, if you dig back through the

500
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 9: anals of my my school pictures, I had the Stevie

501
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 9: Nicks here do I met her at my first Grammys.

502
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 9: I met her at an after party and I have

503
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 9: a picture with her and Anita Pointer and Bonnie Rait

504
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 9: and Carly Simon and me and I was the newbie

505
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 9: and She's like, I love you. Would you I'm getting

506
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 9: ready to do some songs for Practical Magic that movie?

507
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 10: Would you produce it?

508
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: And I was like, uh yeah.

509
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 9: And she came to New York and she had her posse,

510
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 9: you know, some bunch of women, and I produced her

511
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 9: and it was just it was unbelievable. I can remember

512
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 9: looking at her out in the recording booth, and she

513
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 9: looked like a fourteen year old. I mean literally, she

514
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 9: looked like she had aged a day. She looked exactly

515
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 9: as I remembered her, and she just was like so

516
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 9: embracing and so told stories like I imagine that we

517
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 9: probably talked and hung out for two hours and then

518
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 9: she'd sing, and then we'd hang out and talk for

519
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 9: a couple of hours and then she'd sing and it

520
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 9: was but it was so glorious. And then she said, well,

521
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 9: you were produce the record, and I went up producing

522
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 9: and going on the road with her, and she's just

523
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 9: been like very godmom to me.

524
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: And I don't want you to say any names here,

525
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: but I have had experiences where I really was loved people,

526
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: got to know them, not that goal ruin the people

527
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: that I would and I now I don't really idolize

528
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: except for like hearts, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, So,

529
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: but there have been times where that's happened and I'm like, well,

530
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: I cannot believe I could just spend time we're gonna

531
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: do And then you're like, oh man, I kind of

532
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: wish I wouldn't have because it's ruined what I cherished,

533
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: which was these beliefs and yeah, I'm with how massive

534
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: you got. I had to assume that happened too some

535
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: I will.

536
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 10: Say I've been really lucky.

537
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 9: Almost everybody I've met has been beyond beyond my wildest dreams.

538
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: I got a few people and you do them.

539
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, I bet you fix that. We'll fix that up

540
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 10: a few relatives.

541
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 9: Interestingly, I worked with Michael Jackson before I hit it big.

542
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 9: I was a backup singer, went on the road with

543
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 9: him for eighteen months, and there were some things on

544
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 9: that tour like this doesn't make sense, And then later

545
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 9: on the documentary came out, and I mean he was

546
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 9: he was already eccentric on that tour. But people ask

547
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 9: me all the time, are you able to listen to

548
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 9: his music? And I'm like, man, that was the first

549
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 9: album I ever owned. I got it from Santa Claus

550
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 9: when I was five years old.

551
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 10: ABC.

552
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 9: I grew up watching his TV show, I you know all.

553
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 9: That music was important to me and it definitely changed

554
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 9: the way I felt about him. And but I can

555
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 9: still listen to the music from when he was a

556
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 9: kid because I feel like he was who he was then.

557
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 10: He wasn't who he became. But for the most part.

558
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 10: I mean, I can't really.

559
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 9: Think of anybody that's just been a douchebag, you know

560
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 9: what I mean?

561
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: Can you separate art an artist?

562
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 9: It depends, I mean it depends there. I mean we're

563
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 9: kind of looking at that with the Will Smith thing.

564
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 9: Now it's like, okay, we're gonna still, We're gonna be

565
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 9: able to watch some movies.

566
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: Can we take out that?

567
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 9: You know?

568
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 10: It depends.

569
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: I think it's and how severe?

570
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 10: Yeah, well yeah, yeah, like yeah r Kelly.

571
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: Ever even no, if it comes on somewhere, I'll leave, yeah,

572
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: like no, but again there are artists. Again, if Smooth

573
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: Criminal comes on, I probably just jammed along to it

574
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: before I realize yeah, and then the song's over, and

575
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: then I don't want to leave because I got a

576
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: burger and I'm, you know, feeling pretty good. I did

577
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: meet It's interesting.

578
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 9: I met a young artist who totally blew up, who

579
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 9: I had the weirdest experience with, and I can't listen

580
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 9: to her music. I wouldn't say her name, but I

581
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 9: mean became massive. And you know, there are just certain

582
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 9: people that you go, Okay, they got into it so

583
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 9: they could be famous. And then there are other people

584
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 9: that you go, oh, I can totally relate to this person.

585
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 10: They're just they they love what they do.

586
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Eighties superstar Richard Marx talked about the time he became

587
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: a backup singer for Kenny Rodgers and then how he

588
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: went up to him in the studio and pitched Kenny

589
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers a song that he wrote. He also shared how

590
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: he became friends with Lionel Richie.

591
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 13: That's all I did when I wasn't doing math homework,

592
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 13: when I wasn't doing.

593
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 10: The school work that I was forced to do, I was.

594
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 13: Just listening to music and memorizing every nuance of every record.

595
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 13: I was paying attention into the production and arranging, and

596
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 13: I went to like I just studied it like out

597
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 13: of love. So when I ended up in LA at eighteen,

598
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 13: I got my first job was singing background vocals on

599
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 13: a Lionel Richie record. He was really the catalyst. He

600
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 13: was the guy he heard my demo tape of my

601
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 13: first couple of songs and actually called my parents' house.

602
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 13: This is when he was like leaving the Commodorees and

603
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 13: maybe next to Michael Jackson, arguably the biggest star in

604
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 13: the music business. This guy took the time to call

605
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 13: some kid in Chicagi didn't know, and he just encouraged me.

606
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 13: He said, you know, I really like your voice and

607
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 13: these are your first songs. Man should heard my first songs.

608
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 13: So I when I moved out to LA he had

609
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 13: me sing some background vocals and then he recommended me

610
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 13: as a singer to Kenny Rodgers, his buddy, and that's

611
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 13: how I started writing songs.

612
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: I wrote songs for Kenny Rodgers.

613
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 13: That's how my songwriting career started.

614
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: It's funny that Lionel, because I know Lionel pretty well

615
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: from working with him. I went there's stuff and he

616
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: pulled me aside and like give me advice. He's awesome.

617
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: But it's funny. He's always been that way.

618
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 13: He's always been that way. He's a class act and

619
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 13: he's so generous with his time. He's a little bit

620
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 13: I really don't know anybody else. I've never known anybody

621
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 13: else who has that level of grace about themselves and

622
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 13: who go out of their way to be encouraging of

623
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 13: people where there's gonna be nothing paid back.

624
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: He's just that good a guy. And so I recommend

625
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: you to Kenny Rodgers and you go to sing background

626
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: vocals for Kenny. So are you the guy, yeah, the

627
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: three behind and you're doing the dances at the same.

628
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 13: That I'm only in the studio work.

629
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, got it.

630
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 13: I get hired to work for two days on this

631
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 13: Kenny Rodgers album and it was in the like towards

632
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 13: the end of the making of that album. And so

633
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 13: I go in and I've sang some harmonies and stuff

634
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 13: on this one track or two tracks, and then I

635
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 13: knew I was coming back the next day. And during

636
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 13: the session I overheard Kenny, his producer, that they still

637
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 13: needed one more song, and he even described it. He says, man,

638
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 13: we still need one more ballad. We need that like

639
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 13: sort of Lionelsh ballad. We got to find it.

640
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: You hear this conversation happening.

641
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 13: I overhear this conversation. I go home to my apartment

642
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 13: in La I write a song. I come back the

643
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 13: next day and I do exactly what the background singer

644
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 13: should never do, which is go up to the artist

645
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 13: and say, I'm a songwriter.

646
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 10: I've got a song.

647
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 13: And again Grace Kenny Rogers could have immediately called security

648
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 13: and had me escort it to my car, and instead said, well,

649
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 13: let me hear it, and we sat down at the

650
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 13: piano and I played it. My hands are shaking, and

651
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 13: he liked it.

652
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: And you knew it. You can remember it. Did you

653
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: memorize it from that?

654
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

655
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? Really?

656
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

657
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 13: And it was a number one country song.

658
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: And the song was craze crazy for you kids.

659
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: You see, that's.

660
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 13: My Kenny Rodgers, like eighty five or so eighty four maybe, yes,

661
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 13: I was nineteen when I wrote it.

662
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: And speaking of Lionel Richie, here's Lionel Richie talking about

663
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 2: Kenny Rogers after he passed and how Kenny was one

664
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: of the most amazing men. And I want to talk

665
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: to you about Kenny a little bit because I got

666
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: to know Kenny later, and Kenny and I became really

667
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: friendly in the later part of his life, and I

668
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: know you and him were close for years.

669
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 6: Well, you know, let me let me let me be

670
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 6: very honest with you. I just lost one of my heroes.

671
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 6: That is the best way I can describe Kenny because

672
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 6: of the fact that you know, I met him at

673
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 6: a time in my life when I was trying to

674
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: figure out life, you know, transitioning from the Commodorees into

675
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 6: my solo career. And you know, God sent me an

676
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 6: angel because this guy was probably one of the nicest

677
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 6: guys I'd ever met in my life, and full of knowledge,

678
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 6: full of life knowledge, and he was able to you know,

679
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 6: he was in a group called the First Edition, and

680
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 6: everything I was about to experience as a young kid,

681
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 6: he had already been through it. And so it was

682
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 6: just a beautiful relationship that blossomed into something called a

683
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 6: friendship forever. We have lived a lot of life together.

684
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: So when you write lady, how long did you have that?

685
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: Or you was that meant to get to him? It

686
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: was for you? Like what was the story between you

687
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 2: writing it and him recording it?

688
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: Well, it's all about I think it's about God's plan

689
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 6: because it was actually designed. The melody of it was

690
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 6: supposed to be for the Commodorees. And at that particular

691
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 6: time I had written you know, three times a Lady

692
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 6: and all these other songs, and so the guy said,

693
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 6: you know what, Donald, do you have anything else besides

694
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 6: another love? So I said, well, I wrote a religious

695
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 6: song that Jesus is love. He said, well take that.

696
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 6: We like that. That's a good that's a good transition

697
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 6: from what we're doing. So now I went from having

698
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 6: another ballad to now having this thing sitting around. Well.

699
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 6: I got a call from Kenny Rogers saying do you

700
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 6: have a song for me? And I said, Kenny, I'm

701
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 6: quite honest with you. I have a song, but I

702
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 6: don't have time to do it because we're the Comodos

703
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 6: are going on tour in about two weeks and I'm

704
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 6: not going to be able to do it, but I'll

705
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 6: do it when I come back. I hung up with

706
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: the phone. About three days later, the drummer for the

707
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 6: Commodorees fell off his motorcycle and I had two months

708
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 6: of free time because he was recovering. And I called

709
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 6: Kenny back and said, are you interested in that song?

710
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 6: He said absolutely. Well, the funny part about this story

711
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 6: is my mumbles. I don't write the words because if

712
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 6: you know anything about writing a song with the Commodoes,

713
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 6: for God's sake, you don't finish the song because in

714
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 6: two seconds they will say, we don't like it? What

715
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 6: else do you have? So I always would have basically

716
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 6: the first verse of it all and nothing else. Well,

717
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 6: the song was called Baby just Baby Bye, blah blah

718
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 6: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right,

719
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 6: and I now go to meet Kenny and he had

720
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 6: never heard a song pitch like this before because I've

721
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 6: never pitched the song to anyone. So I walk in

722
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 6: his backstage area of his show and he said, okay,

723
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 6: what's the song? And I said, well, he was telling

724
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 6: me about he had just gotten married and he's never

725
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 6: in his life ever and he's never married. He married

726
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 6: a lady, a real lady like Lionel. I mean, what

727
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 6: am I doing with a lady me of all people,

728
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 6: you know? So he said, oh, yeah, by the way,

729
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 6: what's the name of the song? I said, lady, I'm.

730
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: No fool nice.

731
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 6: And then from there, of course, I said, lady, I'm

732
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 6: your night in Shining Armor and I love you bae.

733
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 6: Blah blah blah blah blah blah bah bah bah bah.

734
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 6: He said, well, I said, do you like it? He said, well,

735
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 6: where's the rest of the song. I said, well, no,

736
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 6: I'll finish it if you like it. So he trusted me.

737
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 6: Of course, he tells that story, you'll hear the story.

738
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 6: He'll repeat the story back. He said, I couldn't believe

739
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 6: that's all he played for me, And of course we

740
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 6: went in the studio and a massive hit. But he

741
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 6: always teases me because while we were recording that song,

742
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 6: I wrote two songs for him. The first song was

743
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: called going Back to Alabama and the second song was

744
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 6: Lady Well. I thought, just to warm up with Kenny,

745
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 6: I will do I'll do Going back to Alabama first,

746
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 6: just to get used to recording with him, and then

747
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 6: we'll knock out Lady Well. We get halfway through Going

748
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 6: back to Alabama, he said, I don't really want to

749
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 6: sing the song, Let's just sing Lady Well. I didn't

750
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 6: want to tell him i'd only written the first verse,

751
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: so he sang the first verse and then I said,

752
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 6: you know, I'll be all right back. I have to

753
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 6: go to the bathroom, and so I'm now in the

754
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 6: bathroom writing the second verse to lady And of course

755
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 6: the joke with Kenny was, if you want to get

756
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 6: a great hit record from Lionel Richie, make sure he

757
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 6: writes the second verse in the bathroom. But of course

758
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 6: that was the story. But it means it's all true,

759
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 6: as crazy as it sounds. But it was just a massive, massive.

760
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: Record for both of us, you know, until I was

761
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: kind of looking back at some old Kenny stuff. You know,

762
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 2: he's saying on We're the World what you wrote?

763
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know that was you know what that I

764
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 6: was very fortunate too at the particular time when I

765
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 6: went into my solo career, I also I had Kenny

766
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 6: there at my And the joke was I was hanging

767
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 6: out with Kenny's manager, Ken Craigan, and so when I

768
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 6: was looking for a manager, Ken said, well, Kenny said, well,

769
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 6: I got Ken right here. What do you think about that?

770
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 6: And I just segued right to we had the same manager.

771
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 6: So of course, when I did we Are the World

772
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 6: naturally with Michael Naturally, Kenny's gonna be a part of

773
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 6: that no matter what, because I just had to have

774
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 6: him in there. And by that time we were just

775
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 6: we were just two peas in a pot by that time,

776
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 6: and of course we Are the World was just one

777
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 6: of those you know. I I think every once in

778
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 6: a while God kind of possesses you and says, this

779
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 6: is what you're really here to do, and the world

780
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 6: needs to hear this song, and you need to deliver

781
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 6: this message. And of course, you know, even to this day,

782
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 6: someone asked me of the day am I gonna write

783
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 6: another We Are the World, and I said, no, I'm

784
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 6: just gonna play we Are the World again, because every

785
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 6: time I try to write a new We Are the World,

786
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 6: I keep writing the same lyrics that I wrote for

787
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 6: We Are the World. The message is the same. Right now,

788
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 6: we are challenged, but we are our brother's keeper right now,

789
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 6: and we have to make sure that we are taking

790
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 6: care of each other because that's what God planned and

791
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 6: not to be. You know, a tribe and a tribe

792
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 6: and a tribe, but we keep being forced to do

793
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 6: something together. And right now, this is that time in

794
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 6: life to hear those words again. And I must admit

795
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 6: that that song resonates today like it did you know

796
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 6: what thirty some odd years ago, thirty five years ago?

797
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: Well, I know that you and Kenny were dear friends,

798
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you sharing the stories about them, and

799
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: I appreciate you being so friendly and so kind to me,

800
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: like I love you too. You just have been You

801
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: just have been the best to me. You have it.

802
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: You didn't need to be, but you just have been

803
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: the best to me.

804
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, I I have to tell you something.

805
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 6: I've been trained by some very famous people. And when

806
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 6: I say that. You know, when I met Kenny Rodgers,

807
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 6: you couldn't get any bigger than Kenny Rodgers. You know,

808
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 6: that was the gambler I walked in on and I

809
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 6: must tell you, in less than fifteen seconds, he made

810
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 6: me feel like we grew up together back in Houston, Texas.

811
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 6: You're to follow him, I'm saying, yeah. And I learned

812
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 6: a big trick, and that is if you're famous, if

813
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 6: you're really famous, you don't have to scare anybody to death.

814
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 6: You just have to be as nice as you possibly can,

815
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 6: because that's they're already uncomfortable when they first meet you.

816
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: The Bobby Cast will be right back. Wow, and we're

817
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: back on the Bobby Cast.

818
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: Here as Reba talking about the time she made her

819
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 2: opry debut and her set was cut short because of

820
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: Dolly Parton.

821
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 14: Oh everything I get to do cool. I am thrilled

822
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 14: to death about it. I don't take it for granted.

823
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 2: Still, after all this time, you're not jaded at.

824
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 10: Oh no, no.

825
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 14: When I got to do the video with Dolly Parton,

826
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 14: I was like, I was the biggest fan in the room.

827
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's wild to hear someone who I look

828
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: at as being the greatest you, and to look at Dolly,

829
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: at the greatest she is, and just to know that

830
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: you would walk into a room with her and be

831
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: like in awe when you moved to Nashville. Where was it?

832
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: Was Dolly available when you moved to Nashville? Or was

833
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: she in La? Was she in that phase? No idea,

834
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 2: You don't know. I don't know.

835
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 14: The first time I saw Dolly was September seventeenth, nineteen

836
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 14: seventy seven.

837
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: You remember in person, remember the year, in the day.

838
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 14: The hour I was going to go on and do

839
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 14: my first performance at the Grand Old Lobbry, and they

840
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 14: told came up and said, we're going to take one

841
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 14: of your songs away from you. You'll only do one.

842
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 14: And I said why simple Dolly Parton just pulled it

843
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 14: in the parking lot and I said, well, she.

844
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 10: Can take both of them. Can I meet her?

845
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 14: And she walked buying this chaffon black pants, sued and

846
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 14: had those butterfly Rnstone butterflies on and this big cotton

847
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 14: candy hair.

848
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 10: I thought, man, that must be what angels looked like.

849
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 14: That was the most beautiful woman I ever saw in

850
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 14: my life.

851
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: And did you say hello? No, oh, you didn't.

852
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 8: No.

853
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 14: I was backed up again wall like everybody else was.

854
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 14: I mean, they said, aren't.

855
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 10: The waves Dolly's coming in?

856
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 14: And I slammed back up against that wall and just watched.

857
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 14: I don't think her feet touched the ground.

858
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 10: She was an angel.

859
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: And when did you guys have your first you know

860
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: where we kind of do the same thing experience.

861
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 14: Years later, and then she came on to read a

862
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 14: TV show and we got to spend the whole week together.

863
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: That was precious.

864
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 14: That's I absolutely love that priceless.

865
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 2: I just look at you. Two is out of the

866
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: same cut, out of the same cloth. Where as country

867
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: as can be. Yep, you have ambitions that are bigger

868
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: than just singing country music. Although that's your most important

869
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: that's your pillar. You haven't ambitions other than just that.

870
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: And you both did it at a really high level.

871
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: And I would think that that hopefully she would be

872
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: someone same thing with like Taylor to you, you know,

873
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: with some of these other artists who are doing that,

874
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 2: that that you could reach out to it after a

875
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 2: point and get advice from her to that ever happen,

876
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: you reach out like Dolly, you know, can I can

877
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: I pick your brain at all?

878
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, I have done that.

879
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 14: I did that in the early nineties a phone call

880
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 14: and she took my matter of fact, I called her.

881
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 14: She was that I think Caesar's in Vegas and I

882
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 14: was in Bakersfield somewhere and I needed a piece of

883
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 14: advice from her. And she was on the Tonight Show

884
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 14: the night before and she said she's going to Vegas,

885
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 14: won't be at Caesar's.

886
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 2: So I called Caesar's but you actually called the casino. Yeah, wow.

887
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 10: And I said.

888
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 14: I need to speak to speak to Dolly Parton.

889
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 10: Please.

890
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 14: She said, one moment, please, who's calling? I said, Reba

891
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 14: McIntyre And presume Dolly came on the last she said,

892
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 14: is this really Reba McIntyre or some squirrel?

893
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: What wishes she was?

894
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 10: Rebel McIntyre say, it's me.

895
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: That's funny to think about. We just have to call

896
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't thought about having to do that

897
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: where you just had to call a place to get someone.

898
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: You just have to call a restaurant and be like, hey,

899
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: is my uncle there? Yeah, yeah, that was like back

900
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: in the day.

901
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 10: Yeah.

902
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 2: Brenda Lee from Rocking Around the Christmas Tree talked about

903
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: what it was like being around Elvis Presley back when

904
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: she was young. Any other performers that you listened to

905
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: or liked in that first year so that you're playing

906
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 2: the opera, that they would play the opera and you

907
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: think it was cool to be able to see them.

908
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 15: I loved Patsy Cline, loved her, loved her heart, loved

909
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 15: her talent, loved her generosity.

910
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 10: She was.

911
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 15: Not affected at all by the industry. I loved that

912
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 15: about her, and she just kind of took me under

913
00:44:53,600 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 15: a wing, as did Dottie West, and we were friends forever.

914
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: Did you ever get to see Hank's senior at the Opery?

915
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: Because I know he got some trouble and they were like, hey,

916
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 2: don't come back around here no more. But did you

917
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 2: ever get to see Hank Senior at the Opery?

918
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 15: I did one time?

919
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: And how was that experience?

920
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 15: A dream?

921
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 3: Really?

922
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 15: Because you know, I sang all his songs and had

923
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 15: hits with a lot of them, and to meet the

924
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 15: guy that wrote him, it's surreal almost.

925
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 2: And he had to be in his early twenties, right

926
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 2: young at that point, very young. What about Elvis, Oh,

927
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 2: Elvis was a trip.

928
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 15: I loved Elvis, but he was he was almost like

929
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 15: a pretend person because he was so good you couldn't

930
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 15: believe he was real.

931
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 10: He was sweet, but he was firm.

932
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 15: He knew what he wanted, knew what he liked. He

933
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 15: wouldn't really if he really truly believed in it. Don't

934
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 15: try to convince him of something else, because that's what

935
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 15: he was going to do.

936
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: Did you see him in town much in Nashville?

937
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 15: Not a whole lot went to his sessions and watched

938
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 15: and uh, and that's that's back, gosh, late fifties. That's

939
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 15: back when we didn't have all the knobs to turn

940
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 15: to make you sound so good.

941
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 2: See, you had to sound good.

942
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 15: You either sounded good or you were asked to leave.

943
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: He was really good, really good, pure.

944
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 15: Voice, pure voice, no knob turning, no nothing.

945
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 10: That was him.

946
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: Who else lived here that you're like? You were excited

947
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: to see or run into it? Because I had those

00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 2: people when I moved here, did you Yeah? For sure,

949
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,319

Speaker 2: time with Joe. Yeah, and I got to know him

957
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 2: pretty well before he died. Like we would spend time

958
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 2: together because we'd performed I think before we got to

959
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: know each other. The best was performing together at the Opry.

960
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: Not at the same time, but we'd be on the

979
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: Ben Rector talked about getting to golf with his musical hero,

980
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: Huey Lewis, Would you mind sharing your I don't even

981
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 2: want to spoil who it's about, but I'm gonna let

00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: you tell the story about how you went to a

983
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 2: certain thing and your hero was there and you end

984
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,319

Speaker 2: but yes, yes, go ahead.

989
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 16: Uh, this was this is maybe like the coolest thing

990
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 16: ever for me personally. I got to go play at

991
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 16: the at and T pro am, which is like the

992
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 16: holy grail of all golf things if you're not a

993
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 16: professional golfer.

994
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 2: At Pebble Beach.

995
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 16: At Pebble Beach, Yes, it's like on television all that stuff,

996
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 16: and so I initially was going out there. They were like, Hey,

997
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 16: could you come do some music because they have like

998
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 16: parties every night, and they were like, we'd love to

999
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 16: have you be in the celebrity hole in one, which

1000
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 16: is like all the celebrities in the tournament. Jim Nantz

1001
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 16: announces it and you all hit like one shot closest

1002
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 16: to pin. It's like a miniature tournament. You knew that

1003
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 16: you can play in all the practice rounds, you know.

1004
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 16: It felt like that was like a good way for

1005
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 16: me to like sort of get to know the people

1006
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 16: that run the tournament. And I was like, well, yeah,

1007
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 16: I'll go out and play pebble and NPCC which is minor,

1008
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 16: and Peninsula Country Club it's awesome course, and I'll do

1009
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 16: the celebrity hole in one and maybe they'll think I'm

1010
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 16: a good guy and decent golfer and will have me back.

1011
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 16: They were like, if anyone drops out of the tournament,

1012
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 16: you can be the tournament. And I was like totally.

1013
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 16: And I'm not great at like not great at networking

1014
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 16: or any that kind of stuff, but I was like,

1015
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 16: I really like this stuff and if nothing ever happened,

1016
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 16: that's just be cool and fun. So I get out there.

1017
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 16: I play the concert. It was for the tournament committee,

1018
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 16: I guess I don't really remember, and they were like, hey,

1019
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 16: we think you have a spot in the tournament. Of course,

1020
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 16: I'm over the moon and one of my very favorite artists,

1021
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 16: Hugh Lewis. My dad listened to him a lot growing up.

1022
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 16: And I thought it was like dorky dad music, and

1023
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 16: then I realized after I grew up, I was like,

1024
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 16: this is actually like some of the sickest music ever.

1025
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 16: And so Hugh Lewis was going to come back and

1026
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 16: do one last at and T and he hurt his

1027
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 16: shoulder and they were like, you're going to replace hue Lewis,

1028
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 16: and I was like, oh, that's incredible. It's wild to

1029
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 16: feel bad that he's hurt. He's like, but he was

1030
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 16: going to walk with your group?

1031
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: Is that cool? And I was like, I was like,

1032
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: time out.

1033
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 16: What So basically, I'm playing in the coolest golf thing

1034
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 16: in the world.

1035
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 3: It really is.

1036
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 16: There's not a cooler amateur golf event. And it's basically

1037
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 16: me and Huey Lewis. Steve Young was the other celebrity.

1038
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 16: I'm not putting myself in the same category as Hugh

1039
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 16: Listen Steve Young, but I do.

1040
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: I now do. I didn't.

1041
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 16: Then he's honestly the nicest person. I okay, yeah, Huey

1042
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 16: Lewis is walking around and he's him and Peter Jacobson,

1043
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 16: who is his pro partner, who's a golf announcer now

1044
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 16: was like a dominant golfer in his day. They came

1045
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 16: back to do the tournament one last time together. Peter

1046
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 16: Jacob's caddy was fluff legendary caddy. It was unbelievable and

1047
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 16: so basically my week was I would hit a shot

1048
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 16: and then walk down the fairway with Hughey and just

1049
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 16: kick it. I mean we hung out all day. He

1050
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 16: came to every round and I tried so not to

1051
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 16: geek out. Some of his band came, I got to

1052

1054
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 16: and he was a gentleman and he was like he

1055
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,840

00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: He's quiet at first.

1080
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 17: You know, he's intimidating anywhere, right, and then under those circumstances,

00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 17: and John alone at the house. Well, there were two

1085
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 17: big black recliners in front of this TV like that

1086
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 17: on the wall, and uh, he's sitting there watching CNN,

1087
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 17: and I just sat down with a cover of coffee

1088
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 17: and I sat there. I said, something going on in

1089
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 17: the news, and he goes, I always watch it, always

1090
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 17: watch it. He says, I'm an addict. And he says,

1091
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 17: I'll watch the TV until the loop changes. He says,

1092
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 17: you know that the CNN and all that stuff are

1093
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 17: on loops and I'm like no, and he goes, I

1094
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 17: just watch it to loops whatever.

1095
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: You know.

1096
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 17: That was kind of the only thing I remember. He

1097
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 17: just kind of didn't say much. He's like, you want

1098
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 17: to go fishing? What are you doing? You want to

1099
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 17: be in music? Nothing like that. Janine gets back and

1100
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 17: she's kind of pale. She's kind of like down, and

1101
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 17: that's not like her because she's a chatter. And uh,

1102
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 17: finally we we went back to the bedroom and she

1103
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 17: she I said, how did it go? And she goes, well,

1104
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 17: June just gave she read me the right act.

1105
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 5: You know.

1106
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 17: She goes, look, you know, because Rodney and Roseanne had

1107
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 17: been been married, and the girls, Carlen and all of them,

1108
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 17: and Junior had her struggles with John too, and she said, uh,

1109
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 17: it's it's it's not a not a pretty business. She goes,

1110
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 17: you know, there's these these boys. She says, they're going

1111
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 17: to act up on you. You know, they're going to

1112
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 17: get out there and you know, theoretically do whatever. And

1113
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 17: she says, you know, it's just not it's not a

1114
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 17: good life. Even if he does make it. She said,

1115
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 17: the chances are, you know, wanted one hundred million that

1116
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 17: they even if they make it, will they last.

1117
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 3: She says, you don't, you don't.

1118
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: You don't want that life. You don't have to have

1119
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: that life.

1120
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 17: So Janie said, I'm you know, that's just kind of

1121
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 17: bummed me out. And I said, well, okay, let's let's go.

1122
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: But we didn't.

1123
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 17: We stayed and had had a good time. But that

1124
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 17: was just kind of what we were left with there.

1125
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 17: But at the same time, Junia was kind enough, uh

1126
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 17: to do whatever they could to help, and they did.

1127
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 17: And half the time, more than half the time, I

1128
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 17: would go go up to take the rent or pay

1129
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 17: the rent six hundred bucks or something like that. This

1130
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 17: house looked like something.

1131
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 2: To Johnny's house. You would take the rent to Johnny Cash's house, Yeah,

00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 2: they wouldn't take it.

1134
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 17: No, Junior, I'd say, jen i'mber run over and leave

1135
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 17: the rent, and she goes, Honey, don't do that. She said,

1136
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 17: don't do that yet. You know there's no need for

1137
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 17: you to do that. We're not worry about that.

1138
