There you go, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.800 all right in the house now with Eric Passy who 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.040 got to watch a few minutes ago me take a 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.680 needle to the arm. I was taking a food allergy needle. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.359 That's whatever you want to call it, Bobby, that's yeah, 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.760 for you knew it. So let ma explain what happened. 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.240 Because the nurse was supposed to get here at five, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.320 and Eric was early, which is awesome, by the way, 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.120 I love I love someone who's early. I'm I've only 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.720 the early for you. So the nurse, if you want 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.280 those headphones right there for those on you can want 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.120 to play some music. In a second, the nurse shows 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.840 up at five, and Eric shows up at five too, 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.400 Eric and his wife Natalie, And now it's sitting in 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.040 the corner with Dusty right now. So Dusty, for once, 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.239 it's not sleeping on the couch during this. So the 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.000 nurse starts shooting a needle into my arm. Luckily only 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.320 took one time, because I've passed out before. Does it 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.320 usually take a bunch of times? And sometimes they can't 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.760 find a vein that s it does and they're like, oh, like, 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.280 I'm a diabetic and putting a needle in my arm 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.400 is still not Like that's so unnatural, like that you 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.520 guard that area for a good reason. I'm gonna get 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.440 to that. Because you were watching and you didn't care, 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.240 and she's drawing out blood, but your wife was staring 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.200 at all of the blood, and then she would cover 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.840 her eyes. Then she would stare again. Usually it's you 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.400 don't look, or you look, you don't stare, and then 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.600 run away and come back and her eyes with water, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.520 and I'm like, stop staring. He's gonna pass out because 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.960 of the look on your face. I'm doing this because 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.880 Amy on the show said it told her what food. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.720 First of all, you don't know what allergies you have, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.480 like in the air, and then what foods irritate your body. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.280 So I would have never done this, but Amy made 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.839 me spend money on this thing. So, but you're here 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.600 and you have to shoot yourself with a needle, win Well, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.680 I wear an insulin pump, so three well, it's like 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.440 a little bitty it's basically like having a tiny little 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.320 like I V and you. I mean it's it's probably 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.640 like a centameter deep. It just barely goes under your skin. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.120 I mean you put it a needle in with it, 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.320 pull the needle out, and this little just plastic tubing 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.359 stays under you. I put it on the butt, so 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.120 it's right now, it's the right yeah, yeah, I mean 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.640 it's basically just it's just where I don't have to 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.960 carry around like a vial of insulin and a syringe. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.000 I always have an insulin pump where it's just basically 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.080 like having an ivy of insulin hooked up to me. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.680 And so when I eat, I can say, okay, I 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.240 eat thirty grams of carbohydrates. I'll give myself this amount 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.720 of insulin, and it just it frees you up from 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.360 having to carry around You're just always connected. Do you 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.320 have to monitor that too? You show me a watch 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.440 and you're not wearing it right now, but dude, this 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.440 as well. So I have it's on my arm right now. 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.760 It's called x COM like CGM, and it goes straight 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.039 to my phone. Uh, and it tells you what like 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.480 your level, right, So you've showed me down at one 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.440 sixties seven right now, literally on my phone. It's so 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.440 much crazier than always having to check it because you 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.040 can always just tell yeah, when you perform, you keep 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.560 something on stage with you. Yep. We always have a 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.640 good old solo cup of like o J out there 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.279 and do you feel it if you're performing. Well, what 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.960 happens is my tour manager can watch this thing on 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.120 his phone and now he can too, which is cool. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.840 But uh, just the other night we were in uh Philadelphia, 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.160 and he was like, dude, your bloods going just your 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.760 bloods going down. So he's watching this, he's watching it 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.080 and then just tells me my inere monitors, like, hey, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.960 drink some more orange juice. So the crowd things I'm 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.520 getting wasted, and they're like yeah, chuck, Chuck. I'm like yeah, 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.320 that stage and you started to really fill down. Um. 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.760 I haven't since I've gotten this thing as much, but 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.520 because we catch it before before I even feel the 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.160 symptoms of being low. But um, I've definitely had some 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.800 Uh I need some orange juice now. I mean I'll 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.440 like there's been times I think we're at the dusty Armadillo. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.599 Once it was like anybody orange juice and uh and 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.640 kind of stutter a little bit like maybe they just 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:17.120 think I'm sort of wasted. Needles aren't a thing for you, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.520 Like you don't care, it's nothing to you that I mean, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.200 I still don't like my blood being drunk. Let me 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:29.800 tell you so. Eric Pasla decided to hang out with 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:34.520 us uh today on episode fifteen of The Bobby Cast, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.839 and um, we appreciate that. We a lot to talk about. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.160 So I want to start with right now. We like 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.160 to make a circle and start with exactly what's happening 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.480 right now, and then kind of back up and they 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.680 come back to now. So right now you have a 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.960 song out and you'll talk about it for a second. Yeah, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.040 Angels in this Town. Here you go. This is Angels 0:06:51.040 --> 0:07:06.360 in this Town right here, this time. So let's talk 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.360 about the frustration that, first of all, that I have 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.840 that the song as a right now at this point 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.120 isn't doing better because it's a wonderful song and I've 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.800 loved it since you brought it in the first time 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.040 and I've played it, and I have a frustration. So 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.040 I can't imagine what your frustration is right now. Um. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.040 You know, I was talking to a friend and he 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.640 was like, you know what all we can do is 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:30.600 planting water. I can't make you and you can hire 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:37.120 farmers and hire farmers. Now I know, um, uh what 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.680 I've been doing from the moment I knew, just from 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.840 the moment I knew, Hey, this song is gonna be 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.000 a single. It's like, you know what we could do, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.040 Let's do these angel visits. And uh, I didn't call 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.440 him that that sounds like you're doing angel visits. They 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.400 just somehow fit on a calendar. Tonight. It's an angel 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.200 visit in my house right there. We are. My wife's 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.480 an angel, so they are so but it's just go 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.000 out and just think people that we think are doing 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.880 miracles in people's lives. And that's what we do. We're 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:12.120 at children's hospital the other day. Um, almost two to 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.400 three times a weekend, almost every show day, we go 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.200 do an angel visit. So tons of Habitat for Humanity builds. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.920 Just getting to thank all those people building houses for 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.040 people just so they can afford a house. And it's 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.160 just cool seeing the whole community come together, Like I know, 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.200 you're a good guy, and I'm just frustrated that this song, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.719 like what's the whole? What's what? Why do they tell 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.080 you this song right now isn't a taught ten song? 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.600 Like what do they tell you as the artist? Because 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.760 I'm all the time, I'm just telling you. I'm in like, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.679 I'm like, wait, why don't we playing this song? Alive 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.679 Radio is saying we love it, well, we need to 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.240 find room because there isn't room right now. There's always 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.160 room for good stuff. There's always over and you don't 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.320 have to say anything here. This is what. This is 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.160 what it is. So let's talk about like a highway. Okay, 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.079 you have all these cars on the highway, and this 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.600 is the analogy of music and artists that I make. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.439 You have all you have. You have a highway and 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.679 there's there's four lanes and they've packed. The cars are 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:08.320 just flying through. That's those cars are uh, YouTube, the 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.320 radio apps everything right, and so they're all out there, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.920 and the songs and the artists and unless you're like 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.880 a nineteen twenties old crazy car or Ferrari, you know, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.080 those are the different platforms, the kinds of cars. And 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.760 then you have the speeds of the cars. Who gets 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.400 noticed the cars going really fast or really slow. And 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.320 so there's so many things out there, but it's all 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.400 the time. So when someone always says there's no room 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.439 or something, I never believe. You should never believe that. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.760 I don't believe. It's like this is me from the 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.800 inside thing. Never believe that crap because it's crap. It's 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.040 just crap. No. I I believe in great songs. And 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.760 I've never given radio crappy song, and I've never given 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.160 my fans a crappy song. I I and you asked frustrations. 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.680 Frustrations are um that we can't really say a whole 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.480 lot in songs these days. It's it's like the only 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.240 way you're allowed to say humble and kind is if 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.679 you were Tim McGraw, you know, I and it's uh, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.480 I try to write. I've always loved songs that have 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.880 a message, but I also love songs that just have fun, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.920 like high class, you know. And and which was another 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.439 that yeah, I'm not really sure. I mean I I 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.439 think I always say it takes a lot more power 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.080 to roll up to roll an actual stone made out 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.440 of of of stone as opposed to made out of 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.640 plastic and I believe I'm made out of something heavier 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.800 than some other songs. And that's all right. Well, the 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.440 song is Angels in This Town, which, by the way, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.240 you're on the Today Show playing it next week. Yeah, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.800 we're rocking with Hoda and Kassie Lee Bunch. By the way, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.600 you're gonna love them. They're so nice. They had no 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.360 reason to be cool to me, and they were called 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.960 to me before the show, during the show, and after 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.880 the show. An hour later I saw hold of eating. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.120 She was like, do you want to come to have lunch? 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.920 And I could it because we were flying. But they 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.680 were the nicest people. That's cool. Everybody download Angels in 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.640 This Town. This is uh slate. It should have been 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:07.040 the whole songs about like there are people watching over you, right, yeah, man, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.840 I it started. We were just talking about those stories 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.720 that make your hair stand on end, you know, like 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.720 that that's not true. There's no way that's true. And 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.720 one of the first stories I ever heard like that, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.400 and I've never had anything personally that I know of. Um, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.840 that's the thing we probably that that we know of. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.720 And this is why you should be kind to people too, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.760 for the same things. Act reason you have no idea 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.680 how many people have been kind to you and you 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.360 have no idea they were kind to you. And you 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.800 should be kind to other people, even if they don't know, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.200 because you owe it back the same way. We probably 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.000 our lives have probably been on the edge ten, twelve, 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.120 fifteen times. We have no idea. You never even knew it. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.400 Like I was wondering, like, you know, I'm not weird 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.880 about it, but I was wondering my grandma because before 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.040 she died, I was like, hey, if you're like really 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.280 watching over me, like, let me know. And I had 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.080 this whole thing where her guitar fell in my house 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.000 and it really remember reading about it in your book. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.120 It was so weird and also told you. I was like, man, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.559 you shouldn't be freaked out by like people watching me, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.560 because if they are, they're they're all good. But then 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.960 they watched me use the bathroom, and I don't like 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.840 that they watched me. You know, when I'm alone, they're 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.959 in such like that's the part of the body. It's 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.960 not that they watched me over me. It's like I 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.760 wonder if they check out while I go number two 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.080 or while you know, I like make Bobby Happy, They're 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:24.080 probably just grinned and go huh. That's the part that 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.240 freaks me. Angels in this town is the current song. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.520 Do you think and this is a real question that 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.680 I wondered about you because you are one of the 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.840 most cerebral people that I know period um, do you 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.839 think you're ahead of it a little much? Because being 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.080 behind it and being ahead of it are two things 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.600 that will keep success from happening. And sometimes we don't 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.280 evenalize people were ahead of the game until it gets 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:51.720 up there. Do you feel like you're ahead of it 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.840 a bit? I mean, I put she Don't Love You out, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.840 and no one had put ballads out, and then everybody 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.120 put a ballad out. Absolutely, you know, I mean I 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.599 don't know. Yes, I mean the the honest try this 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.920 as long as this is the truth. I've always dreamed 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.560 of playing the C M A S or the A 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:11.160 C M S or the Grammy's cheez Um because I 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.800 always I always love watching it and being inspired by 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.200 the songs and the performers, and I've always wanted to 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.800 do that. Like, I feel like I'm such a part 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.640 of the country community now that I like, I just 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.839 want to play songs like Angels or like less than Whole, 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.880 Are Deep as is Wide, or songs like that that 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.800 I've had that I've put out she Don't Love You, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.280 where I believe it inspires all of us that create 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.800 music because it goes like yes, because it's it's those 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.880 type of songs that are are have so many influences 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.840 that I think affect all people that create, you know, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.640 to where it reminds you of that old mcgrawl song 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.079 or George Straight song or Bob Dylan song or a 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.120 petty song or who knows what. Um. I just have 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.760 always drilled ahead of thinking, just a little ahead of 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.720 everybody else, and I'll slow it down. I'll just wait, 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.400 wait for everybody to catch up. More of this. Thanks 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.640 for thinking that more of this we need to do. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.880 When I grew up and potty party, Yeah so so 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.079 Eric and I And also like we wrote when I 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.280 grew up with Phil Barton, And this is the thing 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.600 with Eric, this is not an exaggeration at all. He 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.080 was way too smart to write when I grow up 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.560 and he came into the house and he's like, Okay, 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.400 let's get into the minds of these kids, like what 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.120 would you be thinking? And I was like, come down 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.000 to my level, the dumb level, like the total dumb 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.400 guy level. And so it was like, I don't do 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.000 I think you're like two steps ahead of everybody, like 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.000 in your brain, like you create these things, not even 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.040 just music. But we wrote When I Grew Up Right. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.520 It was fun, it was great, and then we wrote 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.400 Potty Party with Lindsay l I'm like, I actually am 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.240 just thrilled the death that I just part of children's 0:14:54.240 --> 0:15:00.360 songs and they don't suck. Just kid a lot. That's 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.720 my official take on you at this point is that 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.080 you're a little ahead of everybody else. It's just taking 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.840 a break for like six months, and you don't need 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.320 to break people to catch up. There there's a history. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.800 I'm gonna go fishing and build more cabinets and stuff. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.880 I'll just build a bunch of lights for all my friends. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.400 You do build like crazy. And Eric's like artistic builder too, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.520 Like he doesn't just build a deck. He builds a 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.480 deck with ep on it, Eric pass lay that rotates 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.120 at night and also throws candy to all the kids 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.080 as they walk by. Like that's the kind of stuff 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.800 I actually haven't done. That. That's slightly creepy. It sounds 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.920 like I should be a clown costume or something. So 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.280 right now it's angels in this town. I'm rooting for 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.960 the song, like crazy, who'd you write this with? I 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.480 wrote this with Eric Dylan and Corey Crowder. We were 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.680 down in gold Shores, Alabama, and uh, I got saying 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.600 we were sharing those stories that make your hair stand 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.080 on and I my brother was dating a girl he 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.120 didn't marry or anything, but um, her story was, she 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:02.280 was in this insanely horrific car accident and like to 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:03.800 the point where she was going to bleed to death 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.200 her head like hit a telephone pole or something like 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.880 her car was spinning out insane like should probably should 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:14.280 have died on contact. Honestly. Um. The first person to 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.760 the scene was a doctor. Second person to the scene 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.720 was a volunteer firefighter who had a giant emergency kit 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.520 in his truck, so like the biggest emergency could you 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.760 you could possibly have as like just a civilian well 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.000 as a as a firefighter. I mean, so he brings 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.920 that over. The doctor bandages her head up and everything 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.640 so she's not going to bleed to death, and does 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.760 it so perfectly that when she got meta back to 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.040 the hospital. All of the nurses and doctors were like, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.160 who did this? This was literally as perfect as you 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.760 could possibly do it, And how did he even do 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.320 it in like on a field, on the field beside 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:56.000 a highway, like, no clue how this happened. But they 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.720 never found a doctor. There was no car left, and 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.880 the volunteer fire fighters stood with all the sheriffs to 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.840 identify who the complice because he's the first they need 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.560 a statement. I mean, he worked on the patient, and 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.800 he was there first, and never no one recognized him. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.520 No one ever saw him again. And and the girl 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.480 believed it was an angel and sod the like the fight, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.720 but hands down, the firefighter and even the sheriff was like, 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.119 this was a miracle. We never found the guy. No 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.520 one knows who he is any bandaged you up perfectly. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.520 No one ever found the doctor. Never, he didn't that 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.520 he literally just was there, helped her and just vanished. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.359 So maybe it wasn't even a real doctor. You're saying 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.240 he was a I mean, could have been an angel, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.640 you know, a miracle. That's a crazy story. The other 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.520 story that we shared the s which was some darkness 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.800 to this too, but it's it's still just like whoa 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.560 what like what I was saying earlier, like times that 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.720 you didn't even know something happened. Um, the story is, 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.280 and I don't I have seen, I've read, I've checked 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.640 up on this. Some people say it is it actually happened, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.639 Like there's a police report in everything in a case 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.800 that this happened, and other people are like, well, I 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.439 don't know if it happens, but it inspired us to 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.439 write the song. And Um. The story was that a 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.240 girl was at like a party that feeblocks from her house. 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.840 It was at night. Party was done high school girl 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.400 and she was like, hey, I'm just gonna walk home, 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:28.800 and the parents are like, oh, we'll drive you, and 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.040 she's like, no, I'm fine, I'll just walk home. It's fine, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.280 nice neighborhood, walking and down the alley kind of where 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.159 all the garages are on both sides, walking down the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.040 alley back to her house, and there's a guy leaning 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.119 there on one of the garages, and she just like 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.240 freaked out and just says like, lord, police protect me, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.919 Police protect She just started praying and praying and just 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.600 walked right past him, went home, went to bed, and 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:52.359 the next morning she woke up and there was like 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:57.320 police everywhere and a girl had been murdered on that street, 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.160 like in the alleyway that night, and that the guy 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.080 leaning on the garage was the dude that did it. 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.560 They caught him and the girls like he totally was 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.879 back here. I saw him. And the police asked the 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.240 murderer like, why would you pick the second girl and 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.520 not the first girl that walked by you? And he 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.439 looks at him like, I'm not going to pick a 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.760 girl with two big guys walking with her, And there 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.080 were no she's walking alone, but that guy saw two 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.440 giant guys walking with her. That's what he said. Yeah, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.160 that's crazy. So that's where Angels kind of got inspired by. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:38.360 And also there was I remember it, And that's that's 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.840 the hard thing about it. It's like you don't know 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:45.879 why God sends miracles sometimes and not other times, but 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.119 the fact that he does at all, if you believe 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.760 in God is above and beyond anything any love you'll 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:57.320 ever know. Do you ever think the struggle though it's 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:01.119 put here so when you do finally it, you feel 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.760 it and respect it? More like, do you feel like 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:08.280 at times absolutely your stuff doesn't work on purpose? Absolutely, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.000 because I know, I know that I had nothing to 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.919 do with it to a point, you know, like like 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.560 this morning, I did a radio interview and a lot 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.720
