So 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.560 a lot of fun stuff over there. If you just 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.160 want to get caught up on the show, then let's 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.560 get into it. Eddie went to a restaurant with his 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.320 family and found something super gross in his drink. Now 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.000 would you say something or would you. 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.640 Just let it be? Number seven Eddie went to dinner 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.720 with the family. Yeah, what happened? 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.400 So we get there, we sit down, and the server 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.479 comes with a picture and starts, you know, serving everyone 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:46.680 water in their glasses. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:47.680 Well it's nice. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.720 I'm a little parched. So I get my glass and 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.599 I'm about to drink it when I've noticed something like 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.760 a dark black like something floating in it. I got 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.720 it's weird. So I back up a little bit. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:00.520 It's a fly. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.280 There is a fly in my water. It's dead, but 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:06.040 it's sitting there. 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.240 What do you do? 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.360 I was gonna ask what you guys did, cause dude, 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.360 it's awkward, right Like. First I'm just like, like, I 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:16.280 almost drank a fly. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.080 That's gross. 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.400 Then second I'm just like, it's just a fly. 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.800 I wouldn't have done just a fly, but I hear you. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.800 So I started to reach in there and be like, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.080 it's just a fly. Pull it out, like, pull it out, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.240 throw it and just drink the water. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.800 But I did it. I said, you know what, kind 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.119 of want them to know what they did? What did 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.040 they do it? 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.959 Sure, they served a customer a glass of water with 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.600 a fly in it. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.119 Where was the fly? I think it was in the cup? 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:41.440 Or do you think it was in the water they poured? 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.000 I had landed in the picture. 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.640 It had to have been in the picture because the 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.640 cups were just sitting there, you know, and they were empty, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.240 and then the picture they come put the water in it. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.720 So I said, excuse me, ma'am, there's a fly in 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.880 my water. And she goes, oh gosh, I'm so sorry, Like, 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.360 let me just get you another water, but that was it, 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:01.680 And I was like, I don't know if I should 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.080 make a bigger stink out of it some kind of 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:05.880 I don't know, but I just left it there and 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.800 I said, you know what, that's fine. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.600 I got a water, didn't have a flying it. I'm good. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.680 But is everybody else? Then I would be like, and 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.079 could everybody else's table get new water because their water 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.639 came from the dead fly picture? 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:19.400 You gave your family flywater? Wow? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.680 gave your family flywater. Dude, that's a good point. Amy, Like, 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.880 what would evil Eddie have done? Oh? 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.880 I think Evil Eddie probably would have made a big 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.280 deal out of it and been like, no, we're we're 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.799 not gonna eat here unless we get our food for free. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:36.720 Did you consider evil Eddie? 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.440 No, dude, Honestly, I was really considering just taking it 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.920 out of the glass and drinking it, because because if 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.680 I was at home, that's easy, right. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.240 If there's why you just. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.560 Take it out and drink it at home? Is not 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.760 a restaurant and experience. What would you have done? Said, hey, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.640 just fly my water like a new glass and a 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.040 new picture of water, please, that's it. 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.400 You would think, well, maybe some places might be like, hey, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.840 let's go ahead and send app tizer out to that 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.040 family that dealt with the fly you had done. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.560 I would ask to talk to the manager. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:10.240 Okay, hello, hello, yeah, yes, the Daniel family.

If if she knew the people 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.480 or if it was in a really cool place, she 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.120 would take that that gig. We kind of she kind 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.560 of slowed down on that just because keeps both of 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.320 us away on the weekends from all the kids.

That's my vantage point 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.760 of it. But I saw some of the photos. It 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:05.440 looked like a blast. 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.800 It was a blast. Where'd you grow up? Specifically Bigsby, Oklahoma. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.800 That's exactly where we were for the wedding. And yeah, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.480 there's awesome sonic there, and I. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.920 Know I know that's our only claim. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.920 Well it's kind of how I know places like towns 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.199 are as good as their sonics are strong. There was 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.600 a new really strong sonic there and I know you 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.040 guys from sports in Oklahoma. 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:31.120 Now, ye yeah, Bixby's kind of become a like a 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.880 football dynasty out there. It was not that way when 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:34.360 I was there. 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.160 Oh, they weren't good when a kid. We were a. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.040 Wrestling school when I was growing up. But my little 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.760 brother who just graduated, I think that they lost one 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.000 game in four years that he was there. Something like that. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.480 I mean, that's what I know them for. Is like 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.520 being dominant at football. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.080 State title after state title after at the highest level 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.520 was crazy. And that towns I think like three or 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.200 four x in size since since I graduated. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:00.880 But you get a big everybody comes running. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.240 I know, it's how it works. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.600 Well, you tell them the story, because I don't think 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.559 they know it because they're all Texans. They got a 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.240 room full of tech, not me, are you really? 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:09.640 Yeah? 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.679 We got we got all Texans. Can you tell them 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.040 you're Willie Nelson's story? Oh yeah, do you guys know 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.360 this story? Okay, you're gonna there is the greatest story 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:17.839 I've ever heard. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.760 Okay, dude, Yeah, Because we talked about this on the podcast, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.280 so I was sixteen years old. We got to preface 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.680 this by the reason that I love Willie Nelson's music 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.120 is because my grandfather, who a couple months ago passed away. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.920 He was like, he was my person. Uh so this 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.880 story is like, it is really fun for me to 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.280 think of just one of my favorite memories with him. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.880 So my uncle buys my grandfather tickets, like really good seats, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.240 like third or fourth row seats to Willie Nelson. And 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.200 I think Willy's in his late seventies. At this point, 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.439 I'm sixteen years old. I just got my driver's license, 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.120 and uh, they they come to the house. They live 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.680 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, and so came up to the 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.000 house because he was playing in Tulsa, and obviously our 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.200 house is closer to Tulsa than there, so they were 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.520 staying at our house. And my uncle's like, you should 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.080 really think about, you know, getting a ticket to this show, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.000 because Willie's a legend. You haven't seen him live, you 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.079 love country music. This might be your last chance to 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.160 see him. Little did we know he'd still be touring 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.000 like now one hundred years later, you know what I mean. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.240 But anyways, I was like, you're right, So, sixteen year 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.559 old kid, I don't have any money tickets are expensive. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.280 So I was like, well, I'll just drive up there 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.320 and I'll wait outside and you know, get a ticket 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.599 from somebody scopping tickets. And that's what I did. I 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.400 waited till about ten minutes after the show. I got 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.600 a ticket from some guy who was just trying to 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.000 make a buck off of him and once the show starts, 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.640 you can't really make any money off him. So I 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.320 got a ten dollar ticket and I walked in and 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.720 at this point in my life, I I like couldn't 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.079 really enjoy a concert because all I could think about 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.160 is like, what would I do if I was up there? 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.959 Would I be ready? What would I sing? Would I 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.920 be ready for that moment? And you know, obviously that's 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.800 never happened. But I've gone to a lot of shows 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.520 and I've had that same feeling, and this night just 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.960 felt a little different. And so I'm up in the 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.680 nosebleeds with a ten dollars ticket and I walked over 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.600 to this sweet lady at the concession stand and I 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.240 was like, this is gonna sound super odd, but do 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.640 you have any like cardboard or anything? And so she 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.760 walked to the trap. She pulled out a piece of cardboard, 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:26.960 and handed it to me and she's like, what do 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.600 you want this for? And I was like one other question. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.960 Do you have a sharpie I could use? And she 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.160 got me a sharpie and I wrote, it's my dream 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.840 to play a song with you. And I didn't know 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.560 what I was gonna do with that sign, but I 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.600 ended up in the in the nosebleeds. And one thing 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.520 that you also have to understand about my grandfather is 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:50.520 that he loved makers Mark and you add makers Mark 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.440 and Willie and Nelson, like he's having the time of 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.640 his life. Anyway, my uncle calls me, he's like, did 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.600 you make it in? I was like, yeah, I'm way 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.520 up here, and he's like, bro, I need a beer, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.440 Like I need you to come sit down here with 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.920 your grandfather and make sure he's all right. And because 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.360 my grandfather's like third row, eyes closed, Willie Nelson's playing, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.520 hands up, he's feeling it, he's it is a spiritual 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.160 experience for this man. So I tried to walk down 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.160 there and I got stopped by a security guard because 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:20.760 you had to have like a wristband to be on 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.880 the floor or whatever. And I was like, this isn't 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.280 gonna work. I walked back up, walked around to the 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.960 next the next security guarden. Just I was like, I 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.560 just got to act like I belong here, walk straight 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.320 through with my sign. I sit down next to my 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.680 grandfather and I'm like, this is my chance, you know. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.240 So I hold this sign up and holds it up 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.880 for a couple songs and the guy behind me is 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.840 pissed because I'm blocking his view root and these people 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.840 pay good money for this seat, right like, So I 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.880 hold the sign up and Willie sees the sign and 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.760 he leans over and he takes his bandana off his 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.520 head and he throws it to me. It's like a 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.840 very obvious, like thanks for being here. Put the sign 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:08.119 up down. So, of course, being you know, naive, bullheaded 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.520 sixteen year old me, I take the bandana and I 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.320 put it in my pocket and I'm like, that's crazy. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.600 I got a bandana from Willie Nelson. Then I put 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.040 the sign up and he leaned over again a couple 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.080 songs later and he threw me another bandana, and I 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.920 was like, this is great, man. I was like, I 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.480 was like, hey, Papa, check this out, Like open your 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.520 eyes for a second. I got a bandana for you, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.960 and and then I put the sign back up and uh, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.560 and the third time he leans over, he throws me 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.560 another bandana. I'm not kidding this. The third bandana off 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.800 this guy's head and I grabbed it and I looked 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.040 behind me and I talked to the guy behind me, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.360 and I was like, bro, I'm sorry, I gotta do this, 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.480 but you can have this bandana, Like, hopefully this buys 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.120 me a little grace here. I put the sign back 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.480 up and he leans over and he goes, all right, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.520 what do you want to play? And up to this 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.560 point in my life, I've been in this Western swing 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.400 band for like five years. From age eleven to sixteen, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.720 I was part of a Western swing band which plays 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.080 like Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. It was basically 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.760 like a cover band for that. But I knew that 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.560 nobody in that place wanted to see a random sixteen 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.840 year old kid sing on the road again or blue 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.800 Eyes crying in the rain, like they want to hear 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.240 Willy sing that, right. And I also knew that Willy 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.320 loved Bob Wills, like that's one of his biggest inspirations. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.480 And I'd seen him play this song called Milkow Blues, 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600 which is one of my favorite songs to sing that 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.880 I played in my band. So he leaned over. He goes, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.159 what do you want to sing? And I said Milkow 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.480 Blues and I could see his eyes get like, what 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.760 does a sixteen year old kid know about nineteen thirties 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.879 dust bowl aer, you know, Bob Will's music. And he's like, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.119 all right, get up here, and so it was like 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.400 a mad dash, like a blur of time. They escorted 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.800 me over. They started the song like we didn't talk 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.919 about what key is this gonna be in? Like it 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.199 could have been an absolute train wreck. It could have 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.560 been terrible. If they started that song too high or 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.080 too low, I wouldn't have been able to sing it. 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.760 But they played it in the exact key that we 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.520 played it in. And I walked up there and he goes, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.520 what's your name? And I was like, Corey Ken? And 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.880 he walks up to the mic and he goes, Corey Ken, everybody, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:25.000 And the coolest moment, I think still to this day, 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.480 the coolest moment in my career was, you know, Willy 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.960 obviously doesn't know if I can sing at all, Like 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.280 I could have been terrible. So he's right there next 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.960 to his mic, basically ready to take over if I 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.440 get up there and bomb and uh. I start singing 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.959 the fruit will I woke of this morning and I 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.920 just saw this like huge grin on Willy's face of like. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.159 Oh, thank god, this kid can sing, you know what 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:49.480 I mean. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.040 And he gets his big grin and he just nods 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.880 at me and he lets me sing the whole song. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.440 And in the middle of the song, I'm like, nobody 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.760 at school is gonna be leave this on Monday, like 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.800 and nobody sixteen years old is at this Willie Nelson concert, Like, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.159 nobody from my school's here. So I pull out my 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.200 phone and I'm like, I'm gonna snap a quick picture 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.159 while they're taking a solo and I'm like, my hands 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.200 are shaking. So I take this picture and it looks 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.800 like the ghost of Willie Knison, Like you can't tell 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.280 you can't you can't see anything. And so get done 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.640 with the song and he's like, hey, come backstage after 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.840 the show. I'd love to talk to you. And they 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.480 send me back to the seat and I sit down 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.160 and I'm like looking at my grandfather and he's still 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.080 eyes closed, hands up. I'm like, did he he didn't 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.280 even see this man, Like, I don't even know if 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.000 he knew what was going on, but uh. I sat 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.360 back down and I'm like, dang it, this is this 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.440 is like the coolest moment of my life and nobody's 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.639 gonna believe it and there's gonna be no proof of it. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.080 And I sit back down and the guy behind me 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.040 taps me on the shoulder. He's like, are you gonna 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.080 leave that sign down? 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:55.359 Now? 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.360 Like, am I gonna be able to watch this show now? 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.680 And I was like, yeah, I'm so sorry that and 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.960 he goes, well, here's my card. I got the whole 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.800 thing on film and he had a handycam. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:06.840 Wow. 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.639 So the only video that exists is from that poor 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.679 guy that was, you know, blocked the whole time. But 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.600 that after the show, I got to talked to Willy 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.000 for a few minutes and I was like, Hey, if 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.119 you have any advice for a kid that wants to 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.280 take a real stab at this this music thing, what 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.640 would it be? And he goes, It's easy. You gotta write. 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.439 You gotta write great songs. And if you don't know 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.600 how to write great songs, you got to go spend 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.520 some time in Nashville. Tennessee, where some of the greatest 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.760 songwriters in the world live. And and that's what I did. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.080 Six months later, I was seventeen years old. I packed 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.720 up and I moved out here, moved I slept in 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.359 my truck till I made some friends and then crashed 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.600 on their couches and tried not to overstay my welcome. 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.119 But I've still not been able to reconnect with Willy. 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.239 But that night changed my life, changed the trajectory of 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.280 my life. And and uh, yeah, and now we're here. 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.600 Tell me that's not a top five story. Yeah, the story. Yeah, 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:01.600 I watch the video and it's like, I'm not sure 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.680 the brand, but you're on like an under armour pullover. 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.239 You got a short haircut, buzz cut, blue jeans. I mean, 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.200 he just like a kid who was just playing baseball 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:11.960 and then decided to, you know, go to the show. 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.639 And you do see Willie just like smiling at you 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.679 from the side, like, oh he's got this and he 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:17.960 like it like tickled him. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:22.160 Yeah, you could tell it was. Uh. I mean, he's 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.879 one of the obviously, he is one of the people 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:29.360 who enjoys live music on a completely different level. I mean, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.960 he's he's still doing it like it brings him so 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:33.960 much joy, and you can just tell in every show 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.680 and he's playing with family members up there and everything. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.360 It was just I don't know it. That night really 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.879 just solidified like what I wanted to do, but also 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.480 just like built in this inherent love for live music. 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.400 Like I think I just caught the bug from from him. 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:51.920 Did you just have a fourth kid? I did? How 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:52.440 long ago? 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:53.359 Six months? 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.320 How's that going? Well? Pure chaos four? 0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:58.920 Pure chaos, Yeah, fours. 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:00.359 As far as live she. 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.399 It's I'm my wife and I were talking. I was like, 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:06.040 I don't know if if we got lucky on the 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.560 fourth one or if we finally figured something out. But 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.880 she is like the chillist, and it's like she knows 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.119 she's the fourth and that we didn't have any more capacity, 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.320 you know. So it's it's been really it's been really nice. 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.159 And I feel like knowing like this was kind of 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.080 our last hohoah. I think we just kind of approach 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.359 it with a different mentality. I think we just have 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.639 like a little more patience and we enjoy the like 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:32.240 small moments a little more. 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:33.560 How old is your oldest? 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:34.120 Eight? 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.080 So? Was it always you were gonna have four kids? 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:38.920 Was that what you guys had talked about? Or do 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.280 you just keep going because you enjoyed it. 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:46.719 We always thought we'd have like three, and really we 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:51.440 didn't know my wife's one of four, so that probably 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.720 plays into it a little bit, but we didn't know. 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.800 We thought we were done after three. And then in 0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.760 December of last year, we had a miscarriage that was 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:07.119 kind of unexpected. The pregnancy itself was unexpected, obviously, like 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.159 we had never walked through that, and that was, like, 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.600 I I did not understand like the devastation that came 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.440 along with that. Like I when when somebody else would 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:18.640 be like, hey, this is what we walked through, I'd 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.119 be like, man, I'm so sorry, but I had a 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:24.440 hard time like sympathizing with that. And then after walking 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:26.800 through it, I'm like, and you know what these these 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.800 kids become, you know, those relationships and what they what 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.959 they grow into, and it was just devastating. And I 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.320 think that that was the moment that we realized, Okay, 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.959 well maybe we're not done. Like we we wanted this 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.240 more than we thought we did. And so, uh, thank god, Mike, 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:48.119 you know, baby Ivy is here and healthy and but 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:50.000 it's uh, it's pretty cool to hear our kids talk 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:54.200 about it because they're like, they are very adamant about 0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.600 we have We have five kids in our family. We 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.000 just have one up there and we'll get to meet 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.879 her or him someday. But yeah, that's a not to 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.520 bring the mood down or anything, but that's that's the story. 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.200 That's the real raw story of how we ended up, 0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.720 uh with four kiddos, and life is just full and 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:17.240 chaotic and fun. And it's really nice to uh, like 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.400 they don't care at all about my music, like they 0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:22.960 I'm just dad, you know. So it's nice to have 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.600 just like a really stable place to go home to 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.680 people that love you for you, not for a platinum 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:29.959 record on your wall or whatever. 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:31.880 Do nice flexed on that in there at the end, 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:38.600 Yeah well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, or 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.120 the platinum record on the wall. Yeah. 0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:45.000 I always just say, like, you know, someday, like people 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:49.200 aren't gonna care, you know, someday they just everybody, even 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.040 even some of the greatest of all time who have 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:57.679 achieved everything, Like, I think that that fades, but I 0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.639 like measure, I'm like trying to p act out a bit, 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:02.480 and I think like success to me is like, do 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.080 my kids still want to hang out with me when 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.480 I'm older and they've grown up? And like, how full 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:11.720 is my table? You know when the music's gone, and 0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:15.439 hopefully that's not for a long time. But yeah, I 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:18.840 just never wanted to have like personal life regrets. And 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.040 you know, it's hard enough making it in music, right, 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:24.320 like just to break through and become somebody that people 0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.840 are paying attention to. And we were like, man, that's hard. 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:28.800 You know what we should do is have four kids 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.560 in the middle of that and make it are really hard, 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:33.800 you know, like the hardest part of raising kids and 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:36.000 the hardest part of building a career. Let's do it 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.800 all at the same time. But it's beautiful, it's chaotic, 0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:41.040 it's it's it's just full. 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.760 You moved from Texas to Nashville. Then I know you 0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.560 moved back to Texas. Are you still in Texas now? 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:54.159 Yeah? Moved there like really right, a few months before 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.800 the pandemic and that was like, yeah, I live in Salina, Texas. 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.600 And it's kind of a if it ain't broke, don't 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:06.480 fix it approach, but yeah, we moved back. I got 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:09.760 dropped as a songwriter I was writing songs for other 0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:13.000 people and just randomly got a phone call one Monday 0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:16.080 that said, hey, we really believe in you. We think 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.200 that you have, you know, all the potential in the world, 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.720 but you're fired. And I was like, dang, this is 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.280 a terrible time. We just bought our first house out 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:27.480 in Dixon, Tennessee, we just had our first baby, girl 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:31.680 out here, and I lost my job, you know, and 0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.480 so we were like, well, we want to raise our 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:37.840 kids around like, you know, my grandfather and my grandmother 0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:42.679 like super close to me, and my wife's part of 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.240 a big Italian family and families everything. So we were like, 0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:47.680 we want to raise our kids with that. We want 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:49.040 to give them that. And the only thing that was 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:52.120 keeping us in Nashville was at that contract to write, 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.680 and so when that kind of dried up, we moved 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:57.320 out to Texas and I was like, all right, I'm 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.480 getting the band back together. I'm gonna buy a van, 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.960 We're gonna go hit the road. And everybody here in 0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:06.000 Nashville was like, dude, if you want a music career, 0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:10.199 you're basically committing career suicide by leaving. Like it's not 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.080 gonna that, ain't gonna happen, and I was like, man, well, 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.360 we're just gonna We're gonna give it all we got. 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.199 We're gonna go build it the way that, you know, 0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:19.000 the only way that I knew how to build it, 0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.199 which was showed by Show on the Road. And as 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:25.640 soon as we got there, like the world shuts down 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:27.119 for a couple of years. It's like it was just 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:28.159 the worst timing. 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.320 So no to You're getting no publishing money because you're 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:33.119 not not writing anymore, and now you can't tour to 0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:33.639 make money. 0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:37.040 Yeah, it was the first time in my life, in 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.879 my adult life, where it's like what do I, How 0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:42.240 am I? How am I gonna make any money? New baby, 0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:42.959 new baby? 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:43.399 Yeah? 0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:47.080 It was. It was brutal. So shopped around, tried to 0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.960 get any work that I could, worked at a motorcycle shop, 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.800 worked at a pavement company, and just kept taking a 0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:58.600 We sold our house in Dixon, Tennessee, and we made 0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.800 like sixty thousand dollars on that house. And when when 0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:06.160 the world started finally opening up and early twenty twenty one, 0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:08.960 really Texas kind of opened up earlier than the rest 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.800 of the world. Maybe not Florida, but uh. 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.120 Not Tennessee either. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:16.240 So I was the only gig that I had was 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.040 playing at a taco shop in Louisville, Texas, and I 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.000 was just I was doing that for like fifty bucks 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.840 and free tacos, you know, And but I just I 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.520 had to do I had to play somewhere, like, I 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.560 just I couldn't not play. It just was like for me, 0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.200 and uh yeah, I mean we just kept We took 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.959 that sixty thousand dollars and in twenty twenty one, we 0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.120 were losing like one or two thousand dollars a night 0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:44.520 opening up for Randy Rodgers and Josh Abbott. We were 0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:47.000 getting paid like two hundred and fifty bucks, and obviously 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.240 you got to pay the band, and we rode that 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.680 money all the way down to within a thousand bucks. 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:57.080 And then wild Ashurt came out and it it changed everything. 0:28:57.400 --> 0:28:59.640 So when you say wild As Heart came out, what 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.640 do you mean, like you just put it up on 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.520 streaming and then it popped. 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.680 In a way. So we had put we had been 0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:12.280 putting out songs like every six to eight weeks, just religiously, 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:14.520 and then at the end of that we put out 0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:17.959 eight or nine songs and it was like the end 0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:22.160 of twenty twenty one, and we were like, well, we 0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:25.000 kind of accidentally created a record, so we packaged it. 0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:27.160 We called it twenty one, and it kind of it 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:30.120 did really well for us, especially in Texas. We were 0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:32.160 starting to see people show up at these shows, and 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:38.280 we were kind of transitioning from the like the desired 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.320 opener to like, oh, we can sell our own tickets now. 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:46.160 And then I had this next song while just heard 0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:49.520 just like in the can, ready to go, but the 0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.840 record had just come out in December, like late December, 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.400 and I remember talking to some people that I look 0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.520 up to and respect, and I'm like, what what do 0:29:57.560 --> 0:29:59.000 you think I should do next? Like I have this song? 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:01.160 Should I put it out? And every He's like, don't 0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:02.560 put it out. You gotta let you just put out 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.320 a record. You gotta let it breathe, you gotta let 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.239 it have its moment. And I was just like, I 0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:10.360 just don't. I don't feel like anything that I've ever 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.960 done by the book has worked ever, Like my everything 0:30:15.000 --> 0:30:15.960 has been backwards. 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:16.280 Right. 0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.400 You moved to Nashville, you think you got a job, right, 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.760 and you get dropped, moved to Texas. You're gonna hit 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:22.360 the ground run and you're gonna build it on the 0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:25.960 road and the world shuts down, right, And so I've 0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.520 been putting out this this music and I was like, 0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.040 I just we've been consistent. We should just do it again. 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.960 So we put that song out in early March, so 0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:39.320 just you know, two months after releasing a record and 0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.120 it it was doing okay. And then I got a 0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.760 call from my manager, probably a month or maybe a 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:48.560 couple months after the song was out, and he was like, Hey, 0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.560 I think you're having a moment on on social media. 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.160 And I was like, what does that even mean? Because 0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:59.880 I'm I'm I'm very involved in like the creation of content, 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.200 but I'm not super involved in like how we roll 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:04.840 it out and the posting of it and all that. 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.400 That just it drives me crazy. So I don't. I 0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:09.160 don't do a lot of that part of it. And 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:13.640 he was like, You've got people making so many videos 0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.600 to this song. And it just kept growing, dude. It 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:20.920 became a gold record while we were an independent band 0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.520 in Texas sept you know, rolling around in a van 0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:27.880 and it just kept going. And then we were playing 0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.280 a biker bar in McKinney, Texas, and twelve different record 0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:35.280 labels showed up and eleven people offered way yeah, and 0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.640 obviously not all based on that song. They came to 0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.640 the show and we were playing like two hour sets 0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.440 and we had sold out this little biker bar, maybe 0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.720 four or five hundred people. But they knew all the 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:48.960 the they knew the twenty one record, they knew the 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.400 from the West record, the stuff that we've been playing 0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:54.040 for a couple of years in that in that scene 0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:57.160 and uh yeah, we got eleven record deal offers and 0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:00.640 we picked the one that we thought was best team 0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:03.040 that would fit with us, and they took it to 0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:06.840 radio and now it's a uh triple platinum. Yeah, flex it, 0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.280 flex it freaking number. 0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:09.719 One hit, platinum number one. 0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:12.920 But to me, I'm like, I say that because I'm like, 0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:16.680 how crazy is that that song? Like we celebrated that 0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:20.120 song going number one in a van, Like it just 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.040 was like this rags to Rich's moment of just like 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:26.520 how what are the actual odds that you would get 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:30.959 dropped moved to Texas? COVID happens. You keep putting out 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:33.720 music and then eventually one becomes I mean it's still 0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:36.440 being played on the radio. It was just, uh, I 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.760 don't know, and and hitting all those lows, you know, 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.600 working at the pavement company, doing something I was terrible 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:45.160 at that I wasn't you know, I wasn't passionate about 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.520 just trying to get by, like hitting those lows. It 0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:51.560 when I finally got back to playing music, even though 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.480 we were losing money every night, like I was happier 0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:56.160 than I had been in a long time, and I 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.800 was like able to fully be I was like just 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:00.959 filled with gratitude that I was able to do what 0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.760 I love to do again. And so I don't know, 0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:06.800 I tell that story and that it was like a like, 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:08.760 look at what this song did and how big this 0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:12.000 song is. Just like the odds of that happening were 0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:16.200 so slim, Like I really thought that maybe music for me, 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:21.520 maybe uh maybe the fulfillment that I was looking for 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:24.320 was gonna just come from playing at the taco shop, 0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.720 you know, And that was that was maybe reality for me. 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:30.280 But I was still gonna do that because I learned 0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:32.640 through that process that like, I love this, I have 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.760 to do this for me, but obviously super grateful that 0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:39.200 these songs have connected with people and I get to 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:40.959 do this for a living and take care of my family. 0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:42.480 It's uh it's a dream man. 0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.920 I saw you teasing a duet. Have you announced that yet? 0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.280 Uh? No, I haven't announced it, just teased it. 0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:55.160 I feelt titillated and is a good one. 0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:00.320 Yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty. It's pretty, dope. You said, no, 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:04.320 it's not very good. 0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:05.680 I was. 0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:08.960 I was in the studio actually last week. That was 0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.440 kind of the last like putting the bow on the record, 0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:16.400 this this feature and uh yeah. I looked over. The 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:18.640 guy's manager was there, and I was like, you know 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:22.160 how crazy this is for me? Like this guy's music 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.120 the person you're not saying the person I'm not. 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:26.439 Saying, but you're saying it's a. 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:29.560 Guy's and it's somebody that the engineer was impressed by. 0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:31.160 I was picturing a girl. 0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:33.160 Okay, go ahead, Okay, Well, I was. 0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:39.120 Like the music that you know that this this particular 0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:44.279 dude's music was like really influential and and in my 0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:47.480 career and kind of the lane that I ended up 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:51.279 in in country music. And I'm sitting there like hey, 0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:53.600 what if you try this? And then it just hit me. 0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:54.440 I was like what am I? 0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:54.759 Like? 0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:57.479 How did I get here? Like I'm I'm making music 0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.920 with a guy that has influenced my music and he 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.640 he's like, yeah, that's a good idea, and we're just 0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:03.920 going back and forth as as peers, and it was 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.880 just a I don't know, I don't know if other 0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:11.359 people feel this way, but it's just a crazy it's 0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:13.960 just been. It's been a crazy journey for me. And 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:17.040 I still feel like the regular dude that's working at 0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.640 the pavement company that gets to make music and to 0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.160 be in there with like, you know, a guy I 0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.319 really look up to who's done it at a high 0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:28.960 level for a really long time. It just like it's 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:33.120 just crazy. It's like those moments where you life almost 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.960 forces you to stop, slow down enough to smell the roses, 0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:39.960 and like, man, just life could have ended up so differently. 0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:46.839 Okay, made a list don't react, don't react. Obviously, number 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:53.040 one on my list just guesses. Don't react. Guess, can't react. 0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:56.720 It's Willie Nelson just because of that story. And number 0:35:56.719 --> 0:36:00.000 two is going to be like Evan Felker from Turnpigh. 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:05.240 Number three is going to be a Pat Green. You're reacting. 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.240 I'm not reacting. I'm listening. 0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:12.600 I also put on like a stony LaRue or something. Oh, 0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:16.200 it could be really anyone because he's a Texas guy. 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.279 You know, we all live in Texas for a long time. 0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:20.000 So I'm thinking about, like, who are the people that 0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.759 we and those guys have been doing it for a bit. 0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:26.440 I feel like with Willie though, I just this is 0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:29.879 just my first thought when you said that. I don't 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:34.279 think he would suggest anything, like, you know, he said 0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:35.720 they were going back and forth as peers. 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.280 That's a great point. 0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:41.680 Why don't we go ahead and try to take that 0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:45.160 down And like he'd probably just sit back like this, 0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:50.920 that's probably off the table. 0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:53.280 How did the Co Wetzel song come together? 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:53.520 Then? 0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.560 Oh? Man, this is a this is a fun one. 0:36:58.440 --> 0:37:00.600 So Co and I have been kind of and quite 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:03.360 a few shows together, just getting build on the same things, 0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.600 you know, a lot of kind of musical fan overlap, 0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:10.120 and so got to spend some good time together hung 0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:13.520 out in Denver one night, and uh, I just realized 0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:15.640 how much cooler Co was than me because he was 0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.120 hanging out with like justin Gaechee and all these like 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:22.439 top tier UFC fight I'm such a huge UFC fan, 0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:26.680 But uh, we were just hanging out and just that 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:30.359 relationship naturally developed, and uh, I've been a fan of 0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:32.440 how Co has built his career for a long time. 0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:35.600 He's been you know, kind of outside of the mainstream 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.280 for a bit, but just just built this this huge fandom, 0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:43.480 like he is a lot of people, especially in Texas, uh, 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:45.200 and in that that area of the world, he's a 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:49.320 lot of people's favorite country artists and anyway, so I've 0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:51.040 respected him for a long time, looked up to him 0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:54.640 in a lot of ways. And anyway, I wrote this 0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:57.960 song Rocky Mountain Low, And one of my favorite things 0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.920 about country music is like I think the challenge of 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:05.160 being a good narrator, Like I know, a good example 0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:06.920 is like I know Garth Brooks didn't get shot by 0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.080 his ex wife, but I love hearing him saying thunder rolls, 0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:13.920 you know what I mean. Like George Strait is masterful storyteller. 0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:17.920 And you know, I even think like Hardy waiting the truck, 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:19.680 like I know he's not in prison, but damn I 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:22.320 believe the song. It's just so good, Like some people 0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:24.640 can tell stories so well. So this song felt like 0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:27.680 a really cool challenge to like can I tell this 0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.400 story well? But it got to the second verse and 0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.200 wrote it in the day that we wrote it with 0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:34.439 you know, three of my buddies. I was like, man, 0:38:34.440 --> 0:38:37.280 this just feels like this almost feels like co wrote 0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:40.680 this verse. And so I texted him the song and 0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:43.919 to get a duet across the finish line is like impossible. 0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:46.399 I mean, there's just especially if you guys are both 0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:49.839 on labels and you got you know, management, and just. 0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:51.120 So many people schedules. 0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:54.279 So I sent the song to Code and he was like, dude, 0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:58.000 I am in like, this is a song. And I 0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.319 was like, what if we just do it and don't 0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.400 tell anybody? And so that's exactly what we did. We 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:08.319 booked a studio out in Cisco, Texas, and booked the 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:10.239 film crew, and we went out there and we cut 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:13.319 the song and we turned it in and I said, hey, 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:15.000 I want this to be the first thing off the 0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:17.960 new record. I think this is the this is the 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.799 perfect thing to kind of set the tone for the 0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:26.080 next chapter of country music in my career. And you know, 0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:29.600 three days later, it shipped to radio. Like, to my 0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:33.480 team's credit, they won, they didn't they didn't get in 0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:35.880 the way of that. They were really fully behind it. 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:39.160 But two, it was like, you know, in today's world, 0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:42.080 everything's very data heavy. It's like all the song's got 0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:45.640 a it's got a stream x amount for x amount 0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:48.320 of time, and then it'll go to radio if it 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:51.359 hits all these benchmarks. And and we were just like, man, 0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:54.480 we really co and I both really believe people are 0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:56.719 gonna dig this song, Like our fans are gonna like this, 0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.640 and we should just follow that and like forget the data. 0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.880 Like we still there's still a place for like taste 0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:08.280 making in country music. Like I tell this dumb story 0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:10.520 about like getting my son to try steak for the 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:13.200 first time. He's like, well, it's not a cheeseburger. I'm like, 0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.920 just close your eyes and try this. You don't know 0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:18.600 you're gonna love this, but you don't know it yet, 0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:20.759 and you know it takes for a buy. He's like, 0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:24.200 this is amazing, you know. And I still feel like 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:30.160 that is that is a responsibility of artists. But I 0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:32.520 think we kind of lose the forest for the trees 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:36.440 sometimes and we want to know without a doubt that 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.000 a song's gonna work. But the beauty of this was 0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:43.160 like we followed our gut, we followed our intuition, and 0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:46.200 we put this song out and it's been the fastest 0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.840 climbing radio single we've ever had, and just like a 0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:53.759 really a really cool and different texture to in the 0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.759 country music landscape. It should have been a fun, fun thing, 0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.000 but uh yeah, I kind of took a page out 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.080 of Coast Book and we just did whatever the we 0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:01.640 wanted to do. 0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:04.200 That's definitely a page out of Coach book. Yeah, that's 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:06.440 the that's the book he wrote. Yeah, it does of 0:41:06.480 --> 0:41:09.200 whatever he wants whatever, and I respect him for it. 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.000 Me too, man. I mean that's kind of like what 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:12.759 we were talking about earlier. Just the way that he's 0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:17.720 gone about his business is like silence the noise, follow 0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.439 your gut, and it's worked out pretty well for him. 0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:23.759 So, new album you just announced, a Heartland rock and roll. 0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:26.160 Is there a data when you're putting it out? I 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.960 think there is, or like an era a month or something. 0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:31.960 Yeah, September, I know, September. I think that they put 0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:33.160 a specific date on there. 0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.440 How many songs fifteen? Did you have more than that 0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:38.680 and you had to like cut it down to fifteen? Yeah? 0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:39.319 Is that hard? 0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.239 It is tough, man, especially in an era where people 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:46.040 are putting out thirty five song records. But you know, 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:49.600 I got to be realistic about where I am in 0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.399 my career. I don't think people have the I don't 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:54.680 have the attention span to listen to thirty five songs 0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.560 from anybody. So I just like, I don't know. I 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:02.120 think fifteen is a good a good number. I have 0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:05.840 only really put out like ten, eleven, twelve song records. 0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:09.080 That's kind of been my formula of just onto the next. 0:42:10.239 --> 0:42:13.600 But this one, man, to be honest with you, I've 0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:15.640 obviously been proud of any record that I've put out, 0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.560 because like, you work hard on them and you believe 0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:22.640 in the songs. But like when I think of Stapleton, 0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:24.719 I think of the Traveler Record, When I think of 0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.560 of Eric Church, I think of the Chief Record, when 0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:29.120 I think of Kings of Leon, I think about Come 0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:31.600 Around Sundown. Like there's just certain records that I just 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:34.880 you know, John Mayer, I think of Continuum. There's just 0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:38.880 certain records that are just catalysts in these people's careers. 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:42.359 But it's just what I think about when I think 0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:44.360 about that artist, and I've never really felt like I 0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:47.399 had that, and I think, really, for the first time ever, 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.920 I'm like, man, this might be the record that when 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:51.839 people think about my name, they're going to think about 0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:55.200 this record, and that's an exciting place to be, and 0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:58.560 so I just didn't want I finally got some time. 0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:00.480 You know, you have to put out music so fast, 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:05.600 I think, faster than ever. Finally just was like stop rushing, 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:09.240 like trust the process. Let's just make the best record 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:12.000 we can possibly make, and when it's done, it's done. 0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:13.719 And if it's not done, then we don't put it 0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:17.640 out yet. And it just it took a little bit 0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:20.560 of time, but kind of putting the finishing touches on 0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:24.360 it just really last week it feels special and we're, 0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:28.759 you know, three singles in and Rocky Mountain Low's doing 0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.920 its thing in the top ten at radio. Empty Words 0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:34.160 is going We're gonna have two songs on the radio 0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:38.839 at the same time, which is crazy, Like never really 0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:42.640 dreamed that was a possibility. So so far, people are 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:44.600 really resonating with the new stuff, and it feels like 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:46.520 we might be onto something special. 0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:48.640 We're gonna play Empty Words. I don't know, give me 0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:50.439 a little story, a little anecdote about this one. 0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:56.040 This is a deep cut that I never thought anybody 0:43:56.040 --> 0:44:00.160 would care about. That people really, really connected with. It 0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:02.680 was gonna be a song that I loved that nobody 0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:04.840 cared about, because that's usually how it goes. My favorite 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:06.840 songs are I mean, I think a lot of artists 0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:11.520 feel that way. But this song is is it just 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:14.719 doesn't sound like anything else. You know, it's a it's 0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:17.279 got a lot of it's a lot of soulful influence 0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:21.040 in in this and uh, we we made this song, 0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:24.120 created like every aspect of it in the third floor 0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.799 of Combustion, just me and my one of my best friends, 0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:30.480 Austin Goodlow, who's produced in this record. And a lot 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:33.000 of times you take the the what you create in 0:44:33.000 --> 0:44:34.880 that moment and then you're like, let's go to the 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.920 studio and then let's add all these A list players 0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:39.640 and let's see if we can make it better. This 0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:43.799 particular song, we were like, sometimes it's just it just 0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:47.640 is perfect when you when you originally create it. And 0:44:47.680 --> 0:44:50.759 so we took what we originally created, we didn't mess 0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.279 with it, and we just put it out and uh, 0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:57.479 it's been it's been a really awesome thing to see. 0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.520 I mean, we played we knew it was gonna be 0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:02.040 special with played this show in Sacramento. We just picked 0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:06.040 up a random show and it was a little club 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:08.160 and it was a sold out crowd, and they sang 0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:11.719 this song like every word as loud as they sang 0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:14.240 Wild as heard or the stuff that's been on the radio, 0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.680 and so it just feels like it feels like they've 0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:19.840 taken ownership of this song and now it's gonna be 0:45:20.320 --> 0:45:21.320 It's gonna be on the radio. 0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:25.080 We're gonna play it. Also, guys, go watch Corey. If 0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.600 you go to Corey Kent Official, all the dates are up. 0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:28.640 You got a lot of shows all the way to 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:31.319 the end of the year. So great live performer. I 0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.080 think people know you mostly as that. Like if they say, hey, 0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:37.200 what's Corey good at the first thing they say is 0:45:37.200 --> 0:45:40.200 he's raight live, and so yeah, do not know they 0:45:40.200 --> 0:45:42.279 say that they should tell you that then, because mostly 0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:44.000 like people that like you and have worked with you. 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:48.240 Yeah, I mean, I you know what, living in Texas, 0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:52.600 it is really kind of tough to know what people 0:45:52.640 --> 0:45:55.760 think of you. I don't hear like I'm not seeking 0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:57.520 that out. I'm not trying to figure out what do 0:45:57.560 --> 0:45:59.560 people think of me all the time. But I'm also 0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:03.600 just like one layer removed from I actually do ask 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:06.759 my manager. I'm like, you know, are we doing are 0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:09.320 we doing good? I just don't know, Like I feel 0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:11.919 like we're doing good. But I also just I'm not here, 0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:14.719 like I'm not I'm not like immersed in it twenty 0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:17.520 four seven like I used to be, and so uh. 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.839 Behind your back, people say, man, that dude's great live 0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:20.680 right on. 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.080 Yeah, that's that's like, that's the highest compliment to me, 0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:26.080 because I you know, I think a lot of people 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.160 would write songs even if they didn't perform live. To me, 0:46:30.280 --> 0:46:33.200 I'm like, if I could record and write but I 0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:36.400 couldn't play live, I just would do something else, like 0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:39.160 live music, even from that night with Willie Nelson, Like 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.440 that is why, that is why I got into this, 0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:46.560 Like live music is what I love. So that's that's 0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:48.840 a reassuring that's awesome. 0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:51.239 We're gonna play empty words. I'm big fan Corey.

Yeah, I don't 0:50:32.360 --> 0:50:35.720 either right now, just generally speaking, and that might change, 0:50:35.760 --> 0:50:39.000 Like maybe there'll be a day that comes up where 0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:40.839 I'm like, Okay, Yeah, let's go.

Number three, folks wants to complain about 0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:07.160 teachers again. So here we go, right, Yeah, so. 0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:09.799 We got the email from I guess it's called the 0:51:09.880 --> 0:51:14.279 room parent. They have someone at no, no, it's like 0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:18.080 a parent that helps around the classroom. And they said, hey, 0:51:18.840 --> 0:51:21.440 don't forget the teachers are taking down all their stuff 0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:23.200 in the classroom. They're going to be out of the 0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:27.319 building by this coming Friday. We would like to give 0:51:27.360 --> 0:51:29.640 the teacher an end of the year gift. We are 0:51:29.760 --> 0:51:32.360 asking for twenty to twenty five dollars per student. 0:51:32.840 --> 0:51:35.720 WHOA how many students in the class get in our rollax? 0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:39.200 And what ah, there's probably eighteen. I don't know. 0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:40.600 That's a lot of money. 0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:42.160 Yeah, but hold on. 0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:47.040 We just did teacher Appreciation Week and now we're doing 0:51:47.160 --> 0:51:50.920 into the year gifts. Teachers are getting more gifts than 0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.920 anybody I've ever met in my life. Like, why are 0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:57.640 we getting all these gifts? Like what are we saying, oh, 0:51:57.840 --> 0:52:00.920 teacher appreciation? We you know, they want to do all 0:52:00.960 --> 0:52:03.239 this stuff and now it's into the year gift? What 0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:06.000 was teacher appreciation then? What if they would have said? 0:52:06.000 --> 0:52:07.799 And I feel like this would have been probably better 0:52:07.920 --> 0:52:10.839 five dollars per person. Twenty bucks seems like a lot 0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:12.960 per person for a gift for the teacher eighteen student. 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:14.759 I like the idea of any of the teacher an 0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:16.439 end of the year gift if they did a great job. 0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:19.719 Twenty bucks seems high. Five bucks for each person. Can 0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:21.560 I say this is turning into tipping culture? 0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:24.840 I do not remember, and I'd had to ask my parents, 0:52:24.880 --> 0:52:27.520 but there was none of this get teachers gifts for 0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:29.359 a week when we were kids. There was no end 0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:31.240 of the year gift for teachers when we were kids. 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:35.000 Why all of a sudden are we doing this? Did you, 0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:38.400 as a parent say no, I don't know. 0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:41.719 You can opt out. You're not forced to participate in 0:52:41.760 --> 0:52:44.440 the I wouldn't, but you could. 0:52:44.560 --> 0:52:46.640 I feel like if there was one time to opt 0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:47.799 out though it's at the end of the year because 0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:48.840 you don't have see that teacher anymore. 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:49.120 Yeah. 0:52:49.320 --> 0:52:51.160 Well, but do you think the home parent or the 0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:53.839 parent teacher whatever would tell them like, hey, everyone did 0:52:53.840 --> 0:52:54.600 accept Daniel. 0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:55.120 No. 0:52:55.560 --> 0:52:57.040 See, I don't think the teacher's ever going to know, 0:52:57.080 --> 0:52:59.839 but the other parents will and you will likely be 0:53:00.560 --> 0:53:02.080 if your kids are at the same school, you're going 0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:03.640 to be with the same parents. 0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:06.920 You're opting in, right, yes, but it's just like it's 0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:09.839 getting out of control, Like what is going on?

It's been raining here, 0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:16.839 and some dude was like, hey, you want to ride? 0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:18.000 Oh yeah. 0:56:18.120 --> 0:56:19.120 Oh. 0:56:19.200 --> 0:56:21.040 He got back from his run and came inside and 0:56:21.600 --> 0:56:23.879 he was like, some guy asked me if I needed 0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:24.439 to ride home? 0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:29.080 So instead of stranger danger, can I again just be 0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:34.840 Devil's advocate a little bit? Your son looks like an adult. No, no, 0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.000 he's a teenager. But he's a tall teenager. If it 0:56:37.040 --> 0:56:39.200 were like a seven year old, I would go stranger 0:56:39.280 --> 0:56:42.400 danger for sure. Run. I almost feel like that's just 0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.520 somebody trying to help somebody out running in the rain. 0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:47.120 Was it a pickup truck or like get in the car? 0:56:47.640 --> 0:56:50.719 No, just to hey, no, like I don't know. He said, 0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:53.719 a small suv and the guy asked if he needed 0:56:53.719 --> 0:56:56.640 to ride home, and he was like no, and then 0:56:56.680 --> 0:56:57.080 he just. 0:56:57.160 --> 0:56:58.280 Ran offt smart. 0:56:58.840 --> 0:57:00.680 I would have also ran off. He did the exact 0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:04.520 right thing, but if it's an eleven year old, it's different. Right. 0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:07.840 Did your son feel like he was trying to abduct him? 0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:10.480 No? I think he thought it was odd. He's never 0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:12.520 had somebody pull over and ask him if he needed 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:14.760 a ride before, and all he's ever heard if someone 0:57:15.360 --> 0:57:17.960 offers you to get in the car and take you somewhere, 0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:20.880 like you say no. And so he just was a 0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:23.120 little I don't want to say shaken up, but a 0:57:23.160 --> 0:57:25.680 little like mom, that was weird, right, And I said 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:28.720 that is that is weird, and he it could have 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.960 been a kind gesture. However, I'm thinking, as an adult, 0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:35.080 would I pull over and ask a teenager if they 0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:35.880 needed to ride. 0:57:35.760 --> 0:57:37.760 Home they're running in the rain? 0:57:38.160 --> 0:57:38.360 No? 0:57:38.480 --> 0:57:41.880 Probably not unless you're a runner. And he did it. 0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:44.360 He knew it was he went out to run specifically 0:57:44.440 --> 0:57:44.880 in the rain. 0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:48.040 But the guy doesn't know that, right. I'm just saying, 0:57:48.240 --> 0:57:50.080 I'm glad he didn't get in the car. No, change, 0:57:50.440 --> 0:57:53.800 don't get in the car. Yeah, nope. However, your son 0:57:53.920 --> 0:57:56.000 is bigger than like a kid, that can't fight and 0:57:56.040 --> 0:57:58.360 like punch and beat somebody up.
