Actually you got the snoop on on 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:28.320 the on side. No one can do with Clide Caralam, Carola, 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:36.320 no one can do within Clid Caralai Carola. Hey, y'all, 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.800 welcome to Hyper Caroline Hobby. I am your host, Caroline Hobby. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.519 I know music, I know people, and I know the 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.440 questions do you want to ask? So let's get hyper 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.479 heads up. These are adults having adult conversations, so there 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.000 could be adult content. I am so excited about this 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.960 episode because I am interviewing Stormy Warren, who is such 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.720 an incredible host. He is someone I look up to. 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.920 I learned from him. I've been friends with him for 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.240 ten years and he goes the face of G A C. 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.520 He has hosted every event in Nashville. You can imagine. 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.520 He's all over the radio. He has his own radio 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.200 show on Sirius XAM. He is such an incredible person, 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.560 such an incredible heart, and it was just such an 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.160 honor to get to interview him. So we talked all 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.440 about how he got to start, why Charlie Daniels is 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.520 so important to him, and how he loves the hug trees. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:31.640 Here he is. I love you Stormy. Hello. Hello. Being 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.760 on this end of this, well, you're quite a star, 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.120 so you need to be exposed fully all of the details. 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.160 It really is. It's uncomfortable to be on this side. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.280 It is. Yeah. I've probably been on this side of 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.280 it maybe two or three times in my entire career. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.320 Are you serious? And it's really odd because in the situation, 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:55.280 I know where I'm going and I know I'm going 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.560 to try to lean over, don't look Okay. I have 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.880 to always check this because I've red two interviews and 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.600 I didn't record. Yeah. I did that with Jake Oen 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.240 not too long, one of the best interviews I've ever 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.040 done with him, and it didn't record me. He was 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.480 on a time schedule and ran away on me. So wait, wait, 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:15.040 he didn't record. The thing didn't record. It was that 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.760 did you die? Yeah? And he was like I gotta go, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.480 and I'm like bye. Was so devastating. Even in this 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.960 huge thing with all the microphones, it was just my 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.799 producer was sitting at this one. We could record from 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.840 this computer or I could record from that computer. Are 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.440 you sound good? Sound good? And we both thought the 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.200 other one was recording. Oh gosh, and so he said, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.480 all right, go ahead and press stop it. She goes, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.240 I did, I thought you were uh and Jaco's your kidding, right, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.919 And then Jake, three hours later Jake text week goes, Storm, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.680 You're not gonna believe this. It happened again to someone 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.000 else because I don't know what it is. What is 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.720 he talking about? It's crazy? What kind of secrets he say? 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.320 I'm going to get out of the squeaky cha, get 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.320 on the squaky chair. Okay, well we just keep talking on, 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:07.000 just wring to make sure that too. That's better. Oh great, okay, 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.560 Now I'm where you're hiding anyway. Oh yeah, perfect. I 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.160 can see you look like a statueous goddess. Now, thank you, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.720 thank you, thank you. Okay, So I want to start 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.400 off with a little rapid fire. Yeah, absolutely, Okay, I 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.720 want to say a few words and you just free association. Yes, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.840 the first day that comes to mind. Don't overthink it, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:29.600 of course. Okay, happiness, Joy Okay, that's the same word. 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:34.720 Okay you said. Okay, so there's no wrong answers. Okay, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.400 all right, let's try that again. Okay, Joy outside, Okay, 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.760 you're an outdoorsman. Yes, nice. What do you like to 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.520 do outdoors? Anything? In fact, I had a production company 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.200 called Surfing Moose because you're a surfer too. I love 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.120 the beach, Cuba diver, scuba diver, Yeah, anything outside. I 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.800 gotta go hug a tree every now and then. Already 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.160 go nuts. Okay, nice, are you a hippie? I'm not 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.560 a hippie. I'm just really in tune with Mother Earth, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.440 the nature side of things. And when you lose connection 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.920 with that, you your whole mental focus just goes out 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.880 of whack. And I totally reconnect when I get back 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.120 into the woods. And I never realized how much I 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.960 miss it until I go back. How often do you 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.159 go into the woods? Not near enough. But I have 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.159 to make myself do it. And the more I do it, 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:26.360 the happier I am. So I guess happiness outside. Love it, okay, dream, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:31.760 who don't overthink it? Dream? These are good words made 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:41.240 specific for you. Dream happiness, just to be happy. He 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.360 said that quote when he was in the third grade, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.920 was it, John Lennon? Yeah? And and she said no. Yeah, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.040 he said there was a horrible answer, because no, that's 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.359 the right answer. So what does happiness look like to you, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.160 and it looks like outdoors, looks like outdoors. It has 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:01.640 to do with a sense of being called uh. And 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.479 I don't want to use the word control because that's 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.919 not it, because no one's ever truly in control of anything. 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.440 But it's being adaptable and being able to just roll 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.159 with the flow and just not fight. UM. My biggest 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.120 pet peeve in life are unnecessary obstacles in my path 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.640 and things that are just stupid, like um, an unnecessary 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:27.200 argument with a coworker or a spouse, or wasted energy 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.480 that is just so avoidable, and yet you get stuck 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.400 in this rut of having to move a boulder that 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.200 the drains you and it's just you see where you 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.159 want to get to. You see the goal, You see 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.080 the end zone, and this stupid thing is in your 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.800 way that has no business being in your way. Completely 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:51.839 use your energy for only positive positivity. I'm probably the 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.880 most optimistic person you've ever met. Yeah, and they I 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.120 belong to the Optimist Club. In all reality, I used 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.599 to speak at the Optimist Club. And it's real. There's 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.120 an Optimist Yes. Can I come? Yes? Because you're right 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.040 there with me. Really trained myself to be optive. But 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.279 I had to train I wasn't naturally optimists. Really well, no, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.839 I think I had to develop it. Well, what were you? Why? 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.800 Why were you so negative? I wasn't necessarily negative. I 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.520 just didn't really as positive as you wanted to be. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.880 I didn't realize that it was a total choice, and 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.760 that like by choosing positivity always it makes for a 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.039 positive life. I had to develop that. Yeah, and that Um, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.919 I guess it probably was instilled to me by my parents. 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.040 And my mom was the queen of the optimists, and 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.680 my dad was just queen or king of common sense. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.679 So between the two of them it was a good direction, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.359 like a perfect comba. Well, I I didn't say I 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.640 got at all, but I definitely got the optimist side. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.719 The common sense thing goes out the window every now 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.000 and then I would pick, I would pick optimists comments. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.200 I just don't understand why people carry such great clouds 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.400 over them, and I don't there's we have it enough 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.240 around us, it's forced upon us enough. I don't know 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.840 why people just live in this dark space. And even if, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.760 even if that dark space is part of you, there's 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.440 always ways to bring light into it, and so and 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.640 so I feel part of my job is to bring 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:12.640 that to other people. Story. You're bringing storms of sunshine, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.200 storms of sunshine. If I were to put out an album, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.440 that would be the title. But it's it's great And 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.400 because the most satisfying thing is when you connect with 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.600 somebody and you see them turn around, you see them 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.720 have a bad day goes to a better outlook, just 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.600 even the slightest little twitch. And if you can know 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.440 that you are a part of that in some way, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.000 what better reward is there? So do you use your 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.240 radio show to spread positivity? Yeah, And it's it's I 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.600 love I love connecting. Um, it's it's about the audience. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.000 It's about brightening the audience's day because we're all one big, 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.760 happy family. I never look like we're broadcasting outward to 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.440 the universe. I feel like everybody's in our studio. It's 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.239 like one big living room. And it's a subtle difference 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.320 between a lot of radio shows. A lot of people 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.000 are really proud of what they have to say and 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.840 want to project it outward and just hope that something 0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:02.920 is received. And to me, I get as much coming 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.760 back as we deliver, and so it's it's it's really 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.560 a neat connection. You have always seemed like the happiest guy, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.960 and it's just a genuine thing, it is. I mean, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.480 we all have bad days. I and I have them too, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.760 but I hate being in a bad day. And when 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.120 you're so aware of being positive, don't you know when 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.840 you're in a bad day, like, because you can normally 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.280 turn it around, like yeah, it doesn't take long. But 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.880 sometimes there's just a day that just sucks. It just sucks, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.440 and you just can't get out of it. Yeah, And 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.360 I don't like that, but I can count them on 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.559 about one hand. Yeah, you know, I don't. I don't 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.360 have a lot of them. And it's just if I'm 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.640 down for longer than about thirty minutes, I'm I'm pretty pussy. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.680 Do you have techniques to turn your day around? Yeah? Absolutely, 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.440 And it's it's to put whatever it is that's sucking 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.839 the energy out of you in a place you can 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.480 deal with it. You're not ignoring it, you're not sweeping. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.240 I did do that for a while, and it was 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.960 a really bad practice. Yeah that if you or it 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.240 just overflows and your pressure cooker and you explode worse. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.920 And I was very very good at that for a 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.720 long time and then did you finally just like erupt? Yeah, 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.839 and you got the eruption. Was there a moment. It's 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.680 all random people. It's it's just unfortunately for those people 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.120 or the situation, it comes out at the wrong time 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.960 and it comes out probably out of ease. It comes 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.640 out it's like a safe zone. It's like, Okay, this 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.240 really is gonna matter if I explode here, so blam 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.160 and so whatever whatever takes it is really, whether it's 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.160 an event, a person, whatever it's I felt really bad 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.880 when that happened. So I worked really hard to deal 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.680 with stuff and not just shove it under the rug. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.000 But part of being positive is to put the negativity somewhere. Okay, 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.640 so where do you put it? Well, now I deal 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.160 with it, and I just kind of crumple it up 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.600 in little pieces as we go and tribble it out 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:49.520 instead of just going deal with you later. And the 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.760 boiling over there, it's just you're not looking at it, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.320 and it's amazing. Talk about wasted energy. I wasted a 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.000 lot of energy for a lot of my life shoving 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.480 all this ship in the closet. And then when finally 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.880 it was overflowing, it was too late. And you had 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.760 this big pile of it's like a closet full of 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.480 bowling balls. Eventually, when you opened that door, you get 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.400 this avalanche of bowling balls that you have to deal with. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.520 That you could have dealt with one bowling ball at 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:16.480 a time, never would have built up. Yeah, are you 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.560 an organized person? No? Not in the slightest. I am 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.640 the least organized person you have ever met. But I'm 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.200 I'm gonna start to finish her. And I think those 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.120 go hand in hand because I'm not organized. I need 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.679 to begin a project and end the project. I can't 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.480 start multiple projects and then piece me like together. My 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.679 wife is is a genius at that. She remember, she 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.800 must have a good memory. She she's a multitask or 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.120 she could do like nine things at once, and it 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.760 blows my mind. I'm like, but the dishwasher isn't only half? 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.800 Have to get in your what's going on over here? 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.560 Because I'll get back to that. She make list? She 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.920 does make list? List or key, I don't make list. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.440 I have a calendar in my head and I have 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.520 everything that goes on in my head and it's you 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.640 told me something about your calendar too. Yeah, you said 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.520 that you don't look ahead, like, just wake up because 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.680 we hosted National Dame. That's right, I guess two years ago. Yeah, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.760 and now you're kind of giving tips on hosting, which 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.280 I have filed a lot of his way and use. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.320 Oh god, sorry, no, they're great. But you said that, 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.120 like you have your calendar, but you just wake up 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.520 and whatever the day has you just go with it. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.360 You don't think too far ahead. No, I don't. I 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.199 love the excitement of that. I love that it leads 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.800 to a great way to avoid boredom and a routine. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.920 If you wake up not knowing exactly what the day 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.240 has in store, then it offers so many blessings that 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.880 you weren't expecting. So you sit there and go, oh 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.079 my gosh, that's right, I'm going here today, and then 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.640 you go whoa, And then you know, people say, so, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.920 what are you doing this afternoon? I'm like, I don't know, 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.079 no idea, and then you put it together and it's 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.319 it's a blast that way. So every day is exciting. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.719 Every day is now there's no If I have more 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.160 than like two or three days where it feels like 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.120 they're almost exactly the same, I start needing to go 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:58.720 hug a tree. Totally. I totally relate. Okay, Vice, ah 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:04.600 chewing tobacco, You chew tobacco. Do you have really white teeth? Yeah? 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.800 Well you put those big old dips in there. Do No, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.280 you don't spit it out. I do. It's horrible. My 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.400 kids are really my kids. Maybe quit once and then 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.760 I got back into it, and I'm trying again to quit. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.280 This feels so good in your mouth, Yeah it is. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.199 It's just it's a great it's like a hot tingling feeling. No, 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.720 it's I mean after I've been doing it in a 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.280 long time, so it's it's just more habit than anything. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.560 Have you gotten your lips checked up? Okay? Yeah, they're okay? Okay, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.280 I mean, but which I hate because I would rather 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.160 than say, you know, you really need to stop because 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.559 this has happening now they go, no, look good, I'm great. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.280 I'll keep dipping. You know. It's but probably for my 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.120 kids now because they're really on me. They don't don't 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.800 like to see me do it. I try to not 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.439 hide it from them. They know I do it, but 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.760 rub it in their faces either. So yeah, that's a 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:56.280 pretty good Avice and wine. Oh what kind of white shard. Okay, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.760 I might be the only tobacco chewing shardon ay drinker 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.120 you've That's a great contrast. You got like your redneck 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.360 gone up and then you gotphisticated classy. You see me 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.840 with a spit cup and a glass of shardonney. It's 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.360 a it's very sexy, I'm telling you perfect. Yeah. You 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.880 walk both lines. Yeah, and I definitely do metaphorically and literally. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.800 So if you're going to describe yours, it would be 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.160 a mix between chew tobacco and chardonnay. That would be 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:27.520 absolutely correct. That hugging in the middle, that's okay, okay. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:34.040 Um music music, Um, I'm a I'm a rainbow. I really. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.200 I know that's a cliche, but I do listen to 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.120 it all. I mean, I started listening to old school 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.120 country Roy Clark Bucklands. I grew up on Heehaw and 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.240 so and my parents would drag me to these country 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.040 variety shows, Glenn Campbell and Jim Stafford and Tammy Winnette 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.280 yeah and uh Tanny Tucker when she was young. And 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:57.560 it just Roy Clark lived down the street from me Tulsa. Yeah, exactly. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.080 So Roy Clark would be every Saturday or whatever. He 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.840 was in town. He would be out washing his car 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.040 in his driveway. And he used to ride my bicycle. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.679 When I say right down the street, it was probably 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.800 about twenty minutes away on a bike, but I would 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.360 go down just to watch him wash his car. Did 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.680 you say, Hi, I think I got the nerve once, 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.800 Mr Cluke, you're just kind of breathing the same. Yeah. Yeah, 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.080 And I love tehaw And and it's neat and it 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.760 flashed forward. You know, if you think it and you 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.920 can believe it, it will come. And I'm a huge 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.160 believer in that. And that's and there's a lot of 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.800 there's a lot of proof that that works in my 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.440 life an example, Okay, but I am obsessed with that 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.840 belief and I and it works and and and and 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.360 knowing you for about a decade now, I've seen lots 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.760 of proof in you that it works. So it's it's 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.240 really cool. You're you're a believer in that, and you 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.440 can see that in people, you can feel the energy. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.960 It's it's a very cosmic thing. But an example. So 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.520 going back to Roy Clark and buck Owens, all I 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.280 wanted to do was to buck Owens was like my idol. Okay, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:06.280 and Charlie Daniels, you're jumping ahead, So, uh, flash forward. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.920 I'm here in Nashville doing my career, and I still 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.400 had yet to interview Buck Owens. So all I kept 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.640 thinking about all my whole career, I wanted to meet 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.880 and get to know Buck Owens. And then we did 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920 a couple of red carpet interviews, but those are quick 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.160 and it didn't really count. And for years I went 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.960 out to his Crystal Palace for his birthday bash in 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.000 Bakersfield just to be there, and you know, I'd call 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.320 Lorien and Charlie Crook and Chase, we need to go 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.160 cover Buck Owen's birthday party in Bakersfield, and and and 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.200 went every year to do that, I know, and I 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.760 did every year. And finally, shortly before he died, his 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.640 um his manager goes, uh, Storey, do you have a camera, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.920 And I'm like why, because Buck wants to do that interview. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.640 I'm like, what, I'm not ready for this interview, because 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.600 well you better be, because you got about a half hour. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.360 We had your whole life to prepare, so I guess 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.960 it was spontaneous. It went from a really well prepared, 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.560 in depth life assessment to a conversation with a guy 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.240 on towards the end of his life. It was it 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.400 was a much better conversation. And my favorite quote from 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.120 that interview is asked back, I said, are you afraid 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:18.480 to die? And he goes, Nope, I'm not afraid of dying. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.120 I'm afraid of not being around. And I just thought 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.920 it was so cool to say that. He's the ultimate fomo. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.760 He didn't life, love life, and he didn't want to 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.680 miss anything, and so he was not afraid of dying. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.040 He was fully at peace with dying, and he knew 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.840 he was dying, but he was really bummed out that 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.320 he was going to miss some stuff. How cool though, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.120 to give you at the end of your life though, 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:47.720 and still be loving it so much. God's and he 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.080 had some big setbacks and letdowns and all this stuff, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.760 but he always found a way to turn it around. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.240 And that's the key. All right, you ready for the 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.560 pendulum theory? Okay, come on, pendulum theory, roll with me. 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.440 So life is like a ticking clock totally. It only 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.879 works when it's swinging back and forth. Right, So if 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.920 it sticks up here, if everything's good all the time, 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.720 time doesn't move. And if it sticks over here. Everything's bad, 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.240 time doesn't move. You gotta swing through both and that's 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.040 the only way. But the positivity and the outlook on 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.240 life comes from how you approach the down swing when 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.639 you know, not to say you expect it or you 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.000 hope it's coming, it's how you address it when the 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.520 downside does come, and to know that with it will come. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.520 And so it's just the approach you do. I call 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.080 it it just swing through it. Just swing through it, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.600 and just swing through your arms up there like a 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.520 roller coaster and just like, oh, this is gonna suck, 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.800 this is gonna suck, but let's go, you know. And 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.000 when you get to those like the lowest parts, you 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.040 can feel it and like I just came out of one, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.000 it's like you know you're in it. But then when 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.359 do you know what's coming? You just gotta you just 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.880 gotta swing through it. So many people, though, they get 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.760 stuck in that first one, because once you start doing 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.640 it more, it gets a lot easier. And sure, that's 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.520 it to exercise like anything else, but the first tree 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.400 is stuck in it. You think your life's over. Oh 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.400 you can't see you can't see two ft in front 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.119 of your face. Everything's done right, and you can't get 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.240 out of it exactly. So you've got to be able 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.240 to focus on the horizon when it goes with everything 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.520 else we're talking about about just believing in seeing stuff 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:21.679 that isn't there. Yes, story, you've got it, You've got it. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.640 I'm just getting better at it. I turned thirty three 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.680 this weekend. That was one of my favorite birthdays Evertree 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:33.240 thirty three, thirty three, thirty free. Okay, see this. You 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.200 can't see the southern camera, but the Batman Building is 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.119 right over the camera's shoulder and on the thirty third floor, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.960 three pm on oh three, oh three, oh three, I 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.600 turned thirty three. Stop it. Yeah, and I did. And 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.080 I did three shots at tequila on the So it 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.240 was the rule of threes. Oh, tell me about your 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.240 thirty third birthday? That was It was just a real 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.679 big fun day of just it was thirty free. A 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.520 good year. Yeah, it was great year. Odd years are 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.239 always fan testic years, they are, Yeah, why is that? 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.600 I don't know. Even ears are odd. Yours are always fantastic, 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.280 I think so. And odd is odd, Yeah, that's it. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.840 And odd is odd. Odd, it's unexpected. But all the 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.679 good things in my life have happened on odd years. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.360 Great and not to say that I've had devastating years 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.119 on even hears, but the memorable moments of all happened 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.480 on odd years. Okay, so you're about to have a 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:29.080 great seven. I know it's going to be good. Which 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:30.880 you add them together and there ones and ones are 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.479 really cool. So do you study numbers and stuff? I do. 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.440 I'm not like a numerologist, but I've seen trends. Okay, 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.680 so talk to me about that. Just when things are 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.199 you know, different numbers have different meanings, and not necessarily 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.479 like in a definition of a numerology book, this means this. 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.159 I just know when I recognize numbers in a pattern 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.359 that it means something, so like ones are always to 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.720 me say that I'm pointed in the right direction and 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.320 not necessarily in the way you think. It's just it 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.760 goes with looking beyond that two feet in front of 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.760 your face. You think, oh wow, this is exactly where 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.840 I need to be. And there literally you know there's 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.679 like seven different other steps you're going to take, but 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.640 you're still on the right path. So do you trust 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.000 in the mystery of it all? Yeah? I got Life's 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.879 a mystery. Isn't do you set kind of goals but 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:17.800 then like you you're working towards something, but then you're 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:22.680 kind of expecting whatever exactly exactly. I a very goal 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.159 oriented person. I think, obviously you've accomplished so much, and 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.600 I hate when you reach a goal. Okay, tell me 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.439 that because I don't like reaching goal. Do you like 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:38.520 the journey getting it? Reaching a goal has never been satisfying? 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.560 Oh my gosh, okay, number one. Because number one, I've 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.840 enjoyed the journey so much that I immediately am looking 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.199
