106
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: maybe the day before they come in and I do

107
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of a deep dive just to go, Okay, what

108
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: if I missed over the years. And I guess we've

109
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: done each other for about four or five years now,

110
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: five or six here or something like that. I had

111
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: no idea. And I because I work on American Idol now,

112
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 1: I had no idea you one on that show. Oh

113
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, yeah, a long time ago, probably years ago.

114
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Who So that had to be the original crew it was.

115
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: It was Randy, Paul and Simon. The cool thing about

116
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: that experience is I met Mickey Guyton during that exact audition.

117
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: Really yeah, Okay, let me ask some questions, mostly just

118
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: about the process because it's changed, oh completely, because when

119
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: you did it, it was a massive global phenomenon. We

120
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: do it, We're like, we hope we get tim million

121
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: people to watch, you know, it's just it's been around forever.

122
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: We hope to pull in a good number. But when

123
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: you did it, everybody talked about that show period. And

124
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: so when you auditioned for that. It was still when

125
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: they were having the big outside of arena. People are

126
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: lined up forever. Cattle calls is what they called it.

127
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: And you showed up to that, showed up to that.

128
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I was a senior in high school getting ready to

129
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: go into my freshman year of college. And yeah, I

130
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: showed up to Atlanta and there were I think fifteen

131
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: thousand people that showed up. That crazy to think, is

132
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: that not what it is anymore? No, it's different because

133
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people. They will reach out

134
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: to us, going, hey, I've got I've build the big

135
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: YouTube following this. He was just so different. Um, and yes,

136
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: we'll do cattle calls as well, and they'll be five

137
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: thousand people show up on a really good one. We'll

138
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: be like, then, it's awesome. It's just different. Like then,

139
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: it was not as much media to be able to consume.

140
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I got I was dominating the world. I

141
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: just wondered if it was still you know, popping hard

142
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: when you did it. Oh, it was popping hard. How

Speaker 1: the humidity of Atlanta in the middle of the summer,

148
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: and my mom was with me because I was just

00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,080

151
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Mickey had heard her talking to me. It must have

152
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: been loud enough, but Mickey was like, oh, poor girl.

153
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: And she came up to me and was like, hey, sister, Like,

Speaker 1: I completely understand. I have a hair straightener in my backpack.

156
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,400

157
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,640

158
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: so like overwhelmed with We're kind of competing against each

00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,760

00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: to like help me with my confidence walking into this audition.

162
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000

163
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: so she did. She straightened my hair for me. That

164
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: day we auditioned together. We both got to Hollywood. We

165
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: both spent a week out in l a and had

166
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: the best Hollywood week together. And um, six years later,

167
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: we I'm in Nashville out of songwriters around and Mickey

168
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: shows up and goes and sits down at the table

169
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting at, and I saw her and was

170
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: like Mickey, She's like, Brooke, like what are you doing here?

171
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Like American Idol? Like it had been seven years since

172
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: we had seen each other, and we kept in touch

173
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: with each other over social media, but it was the

174
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: first time that we had seen each other. And She's like,

175
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm here now, and so it was just the coolest thing.

176
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Like she's always been such a comfort zone for me

177
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: because she came into my life as a comfort zone,

178
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: and so it was just so great to have her

179
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: here in Nashville and and to have her, you know,

180
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: women of Country events and all of those things, like

181
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: she's she's an old friend at this point that that

182
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: happened so many years ago and you both ended up

183
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: here around the same time. Yeah. Yeah, so you go,

184
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: you get the judges first of all. The producers said yes, yeah,

185
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: because that's a big part of it. You have to

186
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: get through producers before you ever get to go in

187
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: front of Simon, Randy and Paula. The year that I went,

188
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: there were six rounds before you got to Randy Fallins.

189
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, now it's about two because the

190
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: producers no, they want to or they know, Okay, you're

191
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: cut out for this or you're not. You had to

192
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: sing six times. Yeah, it was season seven, so it

193
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: was you know, it was definitely at the beginning and

194
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: I had to sing six different times. And then of

195
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: course you know with Randy, Paul and Simon. It was

196
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: just I was eighteen, I had not been out of

197
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: my hometown like ever. What was that like seeing them

198
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: in real life after watching them on TV as a

199
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: young kid. The weirdest thing because they marked you down

200
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: and you walk into this room, even when because right

201
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: now the judges are Luke Brian, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie,

202
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: and they walk you down the room and these kids

203
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: who are probably fans of Katy Perry totally, maybe a

204
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: fan of Luke Brian, depending they like country music and

205
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: and their parents are massive fans of Lionel Richie. But

206
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: they look like because they're all so famous, you just

207
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: look at them and you're like, oh my god, you're

208
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: so rich and famous, and it's got to like set

209
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: you back a little bit because their iconic feeling totally

210
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: I think that was what was very um made me

211
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: feel really vulnerable in that moment. Was why I like

212
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: American idols so much now is because the judges are

213
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: very nice. There's no fun of people. And at that time,

214
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Simon's whole spield was still making fun of everybody,

215
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, So I was really nervous about that. And

216
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: that's what That's what intimidated me about them. Now, I'm

217
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: sure it's the fact that these are people that everyone

218
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: looks up to, but at least you know that they're

219
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: not going to like shoot on you. They're gonna be

220
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: cool and they're gonna, you know, help you. And so

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: that's why I like the new direction that it's taken.

222
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was definitely intimidating walking in

223
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: front of people that knew anything about music, who knew

224
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: you talking about that, people who knew anything. I guess

225
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: your dad played in a small country band when you

226
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: were a kid. Yeah, yeah, what was he a drummer?

227
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: He's still Yeah, he's still in the Persuaders down in

228
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: West Coffee and he's the drummer. And he also sings

229
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: some songs, some like like he's he looks just sing

230
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: low so he'll sing like some Toby Key heth and like,

231
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe anything new it comes out. He likes

232
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: to do, like he does buy me a boat, and

233
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: he likes to sing loaf. So how old were you

234
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: when you first got to go up and sing with

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: his band. I was four. You were really young. I

236
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: was really little. It was illegal, for sure. I was

237
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: singing in like smoky bars I sang. The first place

238
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: I sang with him was a place called Rhinestones. So

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: you run these bars as a young kid. At what

240
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: point when you're five, six, seven years old, You're like, Okay,

241
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: this is just I just know this is what I

242
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: want to do it. It was always it was instant

243
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: for me because it was I was so young, and

244
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: especially at that age, you're just like looking for approval

245
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: from anyone, you know, And it was like you get

246
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: up on stage and I was cute and I could

247
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: hold a tune, so people thought it was awesome and

248
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm making people smile, and I'm like, that's that's addictive,

249
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's intoxicating to to make people happy

250
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: with something that's coming out of you. And I think,

251
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, especially I grew up with shy Twain and

252
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: Faith Hill and the Dixie Chicks and these incredible you know,

253
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: female country singers and kind of just like emulating what

254
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: I saw on CMT or heard on the radio, and

255
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, and getting to go out and do that

256
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: in front of people and make them happy doing what

257
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I liked doing. It just seemed pretty clear to me

258
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: that then's what I wanted to do, even when I

259
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: was really small. When did you start to make money

260
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: even playing in small bars on the weekends. Well, Dad

261
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: started putting throwing out um, like his cowboy hat in

262
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the dance floor, and people started hipping me, like,

263
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: actually it wasn't my dad that threw out a couple

264
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: of hat. It was like somebody that was at the

265
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: bar through a cowboy hat and like through five in

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: and then people started tipping. And I mean I would

267
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: walk home with like or not walk home. I would,

268
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, go home with from singing three songs as

269
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: a kid, you know, And then I mean I didn't.

270
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I sang on the weekends with my dad, and then

271
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: I started really making money when the country concert started

272
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: to come through our amphitheater and I opened up for

273
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Alan Jackson and Brooks and done when I was twelve,

274
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: same show, different shows, um, and I started making money,

275
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: real money. Then were you able to meet them? Because

276
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: sometimes when it happens, you're not able to meet the star. No,

277
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: not at that point. So I was You're twelve years old,

278
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: but you're opening. Do your friends go wow? Because people

279
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: who watch it from afar and I find this to

280
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: be with me as well. People are like, wow, it's

281
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: so crazy you're doing all this stuff, and I'm like, man,

282
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: if you really knew they the nuts and bolts of it,

283
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: you would think it was that glamorous. It's not glitz

284
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and as much glitz and glam as everyone thinks it is.

285
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: You're friends and you will be famous at twelve when

286
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,920

287
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: It was cool like it is now, you know. So

288
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I think that my friends were like, oh, you're gonna

289
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: go and sling country was like, you know, like they

290
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: didn't think that it was cool like it is now.

291
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: So I don't think they really cared that much. So

292
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: you're from near West Palm, right I'm from. And so

294
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: singing with him, I'm sure he loves it. But does

00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: for me to get into it. But he his whole

299
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: thing was you can do whatever you want, but you

300
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: have to go to college first. So in Florida, the

Speaker 1: just because the idol problem. What happened that wasn't good?

341

342
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: wasn't Yeah, Well, they just portrayed me in a way

343
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: that wasn't me. The producers got you, the producers got me. Yeah,

344
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: what happened? What? What? What did they portray you as? Uh,

00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: just kind of a it's okay, blonde hair or just

346
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: point with it. Yeah. And you know, at the end

347
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: of the day, everyone has a goofy side. I'm a

348
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: total goofball, but that's not all that there is to me,

349
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: and they kind of just just toned in on that.

350
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm out of school where it's all

351
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: about academics, and all of a sudden, it's my freshman

352
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: year and this huge global phenomenon of a show comes

353
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: on and depicts me out in a certain way. I'm

354
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: in all of these clubs, like all of these leadership

355
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: clubs that are like really hard to get into and

356
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, people look at me in a

357
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: completely different way, and it was really hard. And and

358
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Tim actually called me during that. We were friends, we

359
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: had mutual friends, and he called me during that and

360
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: he was like, girl, I see what they did here,

361
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: and he was like, and you you gotta keep moving

362
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: after this. He was like, you have the talent to

363
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: do it, and I just want to let you know

364
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: that I see you, and you just gotta keep going.

365
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: I thought that was really nice. I thought it was

366
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: really cool with him. But those are some life lessons

367
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: you learned at an early age two of to not

368
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: let people control your narrative. Bobby. Yes, I mean I

369
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: was eighteen when I learned that, and it was a

370
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: hard lesson to learn. But there's there's been a lot

371
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: of lessons along the way that I hate that for you,

372
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: but hopping on the show in those because they really

373
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: won't do that now. I mean, just the landscape is

374
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: completely different with that show. And I've only been involved

375
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: for four years now, but that would never happen now. No,

376
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's I love I love American I don't know,

377
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: I really do. It's and there's no hard feelings either

378
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: they taught me they taught me lessons. I would have

379
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: hard feelings, I'll be pissed. So you go to school

380
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: and people see you and they're like, so, but then

381
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: what happens at school? Are you do? You just write

382
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: it out? Yeah? I mean you know, at the end

383
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: of the day, that stuff goes away. And I was

384
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: still who I was, and I still you know, I

385
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: finished school, did I did my four years, and I

386
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: moved after I graduated. I spent nine months in Florida.

387
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: I started as a bartender. So you did graduate. I'm graduated.

388
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: It's in business with a concentration and marketing and mass communication. Okay,

389
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: so you did all that? Was that your dad going, hey,

390
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: get a degree. But while you're learning, you're like, I'm

391
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: just getting the degree so I can go do music totally.

392
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: And the whole time that I was in college, I mean,

393
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: really what what helped with all the American Idol stuff

394
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: was after that I became I just became the singer

395
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: for everything. So we did a lot of stuff with

396
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: Children's Miracle Network. We had dance Marathon at my college

397
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: and I sang that function every single year I was there.

398
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: I got to open up for Leonard skinnerd my freshman

00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: year at Gator Growl at like our big Pepper rally,

400
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: and I kind of just became like the singer of

401
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the school. And obviously I was going to school and

402
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: getting getting a degree, but I was still doing me.

403
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: So you finish, you want to go sing? When does

404
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: it happen where you go? You know what's screw it?

405
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: I gotta go to Nashville because that's where all the

406
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: decisions are made. Totally well, I knew I had to

407
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: get to Nashville, but the question was how. I Just

408
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: I didn't have the financial anything to go, So I

409
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: was like, how am I going to do this? So

410
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: I was like, I know how to bartend. So I

411
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: started bartending at our local line dancing bar and in Florida.

412
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: In Florida, in West Palm, back in my hometown. I

413
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: moved home, moved in with mom, like I'm going to

414
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: be a roommate for the next year probably while I

415
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: say about money to move to Nashville. And I had

416
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: friends that went to this line dancing bar and I

417
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: had grown up singing there, so I was like, cool,

Speaker 1: I'll see if I can bartend. Started bartending and started

419
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: meeting a bunch of people who were spending a lot

420
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,200

00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: in l A, She's killing it. And we're all from

489
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: the same hometown and we all had the same voice teacher.

490
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: So I kind of came from a place where you know,

491
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: everyone around you is just so good and it's not

492
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: about comparing yourself to anybody else. It's it's everyone has

493
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: their own thing, you know, and if you don't have

494
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: your own thing, that's kind of your that's kind of

495
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: your problem, you know, Yeah, that's on you. So come

496
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: to a city where you know, this whole town is

497
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: just filled with people that are so good at what

498
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: they do, everywhere, from artists to musicians to you know,

499
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: people in the industry, and so to me, I felt

500
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: like I had kind of found my zebras, you know,

501
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: like you kind of find the people that that make

502
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: you move and that inspire you. How long were you

503
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: here until people started to notice you, maybe not as

504
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: just a singer or just enough to go, hey, we

505
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: may actually pay you to do this on a much

506
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: much higher level because you gotta pay the bills. Here

507
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: were you singing? Are you playing? The bars around? Music?

508
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: Are broadaway? Yeah? So the original thing that I told

509
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: my family was I'm gonna I'm gonna be in Nashville

510
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: for two weeks out of the month, try to meet

511
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: people and right, and then I'm gonna fly to Florida

512
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: and do two weeks down there of still doing my

513
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: normal show so I can still make money and not

514
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: have a nine to five up in Nashville. So that

515
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: was like the plan. And I did that for two

516
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: and a half years until I'm my publishing deal. Did

517
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: it for two and a half years. Yeah, you're flying

518
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: back and forth? Oh yeah, Oh yeah, I had a

519
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of flying points. Um, But that's

520
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: what you know, That's just I wanted to dedicate my

521
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: whole life to music, and that was the only way

522
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: I knew how to do that at that point. So

523
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: I did it and it was just, you know, the

524
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: flights weren't that bad. I had a connection in between

525
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: um on the way they're and back, but they flew

526
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: me right into some p b I, which is ten

527
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: minutes from my house in West Palm. So are you

528
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: doing here? Then? For those two weeks we playing Riders rounds?

529
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: Were you I was meeting? Yeah? I was playing Riders rounds.

530
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: I was going to Whiskey Jam. I was, you know,

531
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: writing with people. The first night I got to Nashville,

532
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: my dad wanted to go down to Tootsie's. So we

533
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: got down there and a couple of beers in I

534
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: somehow I end up on stage. I truly don't remember

535
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: how it happened. I just remember being on stage and

536
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: they were like, hey, do you want to do? You

537
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: want a job here? After I sang a few songs

538
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know, I just got here.

539
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what what the hell I'm doing. And

540
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: they're like, come to open auditions on Saturday. So I

541
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: ended up going to open auditions and the band leader

542
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: for all of like Tutsis and a bunch of the

543
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: bars down there, his name was Greg Humphrey, and he

544
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: was like, you know you're hired, like during the audition,

545
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: and then afterwards he came up to me and he

546
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: was like, honey, you know singing at tutsis this is

547
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: honky Tonk school. And I have a feeling that you've

548
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: already been to honky talk school, So what else do

549
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: you want to do here in Nashville? And I was like, well,

550
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: I've been writing by myself, but I really want to

551
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: learn the Nashville way of writing a song. And he's like,

552
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: what are you doing on Tuesday? I was like, I

553
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: literally have no friends or plans, and he's like cool,

554
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: So uh. We started writing together and he introduced me

555
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of his writing friends and then they're

556
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: writing friends introduced me to that to theirs, and soon

557
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: I had a riding community. Very quickly after I moved here,

558
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I had this writing community that I would come in.

559
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: I would just book my own rights with my friends

560
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: and we would go and write songs, and then I

561
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: would go fly home to Florida and do shows and

562
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: do it all over again. So you get a published

563
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: and deal after being for two and a half years.

564
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: That did that seem like an eternity two and a

565
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: half years, and it's like or no, No, I didn't

566
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: even feel ready at two and a half years, Yeah,

567
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: because I got my publishing deal and then immediately got

568
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: a record deal. And I will say that when I

569
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: got to Nashville, I knew that I knew my voice,

570
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: like I knew how to control my voice and what

571
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: I wanted my voice to sound like. But I didn't

572
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: really know like what I wanted to say yet or

573
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: really what I wanted like the sound of my music

574
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: to be. And that took me like eight years to

575
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: figure that out. So when I got here and started

576
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: getting offers at two and a half years, I didn't

577
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: feel ready yet. But I just felt like this is

578
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: the way that you know, this doesn't happen normally, so

579
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: I just kind of have to go with the flow

580
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: and figure it out along the way. I think the

581
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: last time that we saw each other now one of

582
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: the last time because I saw you and Hill, I've

583
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: seen you guys out, yeah, But before that we did

584
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: a show together and maybe Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Yeah, And I

585
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: think that was the except for a couple of times

586
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: that I've run to you in Hillary, that was the

587
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: last time I had seen you music related, yeah, and

588
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: I was always like, what's what's Brooke doing. It's been

589
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: four years since you put out any music, so why

590
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: why such a substantial amount of time. So I don't

591
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that you even know about this. But

592
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm on the road, you know, doing festival after festival.

593
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: We're getting three hours of sleep at night for like

594
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: five nights in a row, and it's crazy, and I'm

595
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: like getting sick. I'll get sick before shows. I don't

596
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I'm going to my doctor. My

597
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: iron was low and they were just giving me test

598
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: after test and nothing was coming back conclusive. So after

599
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: like four years of testing, they found out that I

600
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: had ulcers in my small intestine. And my doctor was like, listen,

601
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: there's no magic pill to to heal the us, Like

602
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you have to go home, nine hours of sleep at night,

603
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: no alcohol intake, strict diet, like you can't be doing

604
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: this on the road. You have to let yourself feel.

605
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: So that's where it started, you know, it started with

606
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: it was life or death kind of and it was

607
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: like I needed to heal my body and take that time.

608
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: And then it was right around that time that I

609
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: met Hillary and my girlfriend Hillary, and like that changed

610
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: my life drastically for the better. But it was still

611
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: a lot that I had to figure out about me.

612
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: And then at the same time, my record label was

613
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: being bought out by a new company, so we had

614
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: all new leaders that were coming into my record label,

615
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: and those leaders were like, yo, girl, we love your voice.

616
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: We don't feel like this music is you. Go and

617
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: and do what you want to do. Go write the

618
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: music that you want to write. And that was really

619
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: the first time that anyone had said that to me.

620
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: So the break and this sort of a lot of

621
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: different variables, but um, health, getting my sound together, and

622
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: then figuring out who the heck I was as a person.

623
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm so healthy now, I'm the healthiest I've ever been

624
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 1: to that time. Is that? What did it? Time? And

625
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: just chilling for a bit. Yeah. You know sometimes they

626
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: say Tom Hall's all wounds, It's it could not be

627
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: more true for me. I really needed that time. Did

628
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: you meet Hillary Nashville? You had to meet her Nshville. Yeah, yeah,

629
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I met her Nashville. She actually worked on my promo

630
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: team for for my radio team, and that's where we went.

631
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: She did yeah, I guess when I knew her she

632
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: works for Garth. Now, okay, yeah, I've only known her

633
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: working for Garth. Yes, so I guess I did not

634
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: know her when she was working a Broken Bow. Yeah.

635
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: It was her first job when she got to town,

636
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: and she loved it. I mean, of course it's it's

637
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: a great place to be um a Broken Bow. But

638
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: um Garth called. And when Garth calls, you just say yes, yes, yes, sir,

639
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: yes the goat. I want to play before we go further.

640
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: I want to play some of some new song here.

641
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: This is no shade from Brooke Now they ain't no

642

644
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: the view And I'm bad shot the end of the day, fastball,

645
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: when ain't no shade? Al right? Tell me we had

646
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: the song? What does it mean to you? Like? What

647
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: does it literally mean to you? Which does it literally means? Literally? Yes?

648
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: She wrote it, by the way I did. Yeah, I

649
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: wrote this with Stephen Leelson and Brandon Day over Zoom

650
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pandemic. It's a recent right there,

651
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: It was a recent right Yeah. We actually we wrote

652
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: it in July, three days before we were going into

653
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: the studio, and um, we it was our first time writing,

654
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: the three of us, so it's kind of like the

655
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: recipe for not having not getting the song, and it

656
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: was just the right recipe for getting the song in

657
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: the end. And um, the song to me is about

658
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: coming out of a dark place. So for me, coming

659
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: out of a tumultuous relationship where you know, it's kind

660
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: of like when you are in a relationship that isn't good,

661
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: you don't realize it for a long time. You almost

662
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: don't realize it until you're out of it. And um,

663
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: my best friend was on her way to my house

664
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: that day. She was with an entire U haul of

665
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: all of her stuff because she had found out that

666
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: her boyfriend of three years had cheated on her for

667
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: the third time. Um, but this was just the first

668
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: time that she felt strong enough that she could leave.

669
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: And I was really proud of her that day. And

670
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: all I wanted her to feel was not like I

671
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: didn't want her to feel like she hated him, and

672
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: I didn't want her to feel like she was mad

673
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: at him. I just wanted her to feel like, I'm

674
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: so past that you know, and I've been in that

675
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: place before too. You know, I've been in that place

676
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: where I've been in a relationship that wasn't right for me.

677
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: And then you get out on the other side and

678
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: you're like, man, there's there's no rain over here. I

679
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: just I just had to pull myself from my underneath

680
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: that cloud. Um. And so for me, you know, it

681
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: was important for me to put out this song first

682
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like we all are kind of coming

683
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: out from under a cloud of and I think that

684
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: a lot of us had to kind of see parts

685
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: of us that we didn't want to have to see

686
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: last year. Just being able to to slow down and

687
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: and the you had to slow down, there was there

688
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: was no other possibility. And you know, I think that

689
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: that that causes you to really get introspective and and

690
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: see what your life is about. And I think that

691
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: everyone had a hard time last year and seeing people

692
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, so sick around you puts you in a dark,

693
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: dark place, and um, I just I wanted to bring

694
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: some sunshine to people. And at think that this song

695
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: has a lot of hope in it and a lot

696
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: of light in it. Two other ones coming out, yeah,

697
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: not out yet. This is the only one out yet.

698
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: What's the plan with those other two? The next one

699
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: comes out March five, it's called Sunroof, and the one

700
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: after that comes out April nine, and that's called Got

701
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: No Choice And those are both in the same vein

702
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: sonically as far as you know, kind of like a

703
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: retro soulful country sound. Um. All produced by Jesse Fraser,

704
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: and you know, I just wanted it to feel happy

705
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: and sunny and just like groovy vibe that makes you

706
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: feel good and um. All of the songs definitely have

707
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: meat in them where you know you can have a

708
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: deep moment, but they're all kind of masked in this

709
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: like happy sounding um sound. Well, I'm glad you're back.

719

722
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: I see a splash and I see it and everywhere,

723
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: and it's great. It's it's great to see all right.

724
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: There she is, Brooke, Good to talk to you. And

725
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: back into a second. I saw this article about whether

726
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: or not it's possible to retire off the royalties. Have

727
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: a song, right, you're at a song, it's number one hit?

728
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Can you retire if you write a number one hit? Now,

729
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: let's say you're a new artist like Jordan Davis and

730
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: he's got that song if he ever singles you up song? Yeah,

731
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: of course. Edie's here, by the way, what's up? You

732
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: can't retire off of that? What I've heard a lot

733
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: of different you know, Like, I'm gonna tell you why,

734
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: because you got three writers for the most part, number

735
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: one song roughly is a million dollars. You'll say you

736
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: split it three ways, three dollars. You get published commes.

737
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: You gotta get their their nut back first. You gotta

738
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: get taxes taken out of it, So you're roughly gonna

739
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: end up with like a hundred and eighty thousand dollars.

740
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: Not bad, oh great, not saying that, but you're not

741
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: able to retire off of it, off of a number

742
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: one song, right, So tell me what nonsense you heard, now, No,

743
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: that was it. That was gonna talk, I was gonna talk.

744
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. Usually you split it three

745
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: ways and then once everyone gets her cut. I mean

746
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: I've heard less than that is mostly like around sixty

747
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is kind of your first number one check, Yes,

748
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: your first because pay back all you're publishing. But here's

749
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: the thing too, like you worry about you know how

750
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: long these these songs are gonna last in people's minds.

751
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: These number ones, Man, they come in, they fly, and

752
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: people forget about them. So really you're just trying to

753
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: get your bang for the buck right away as fast

754
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: as you can. And if it's your first song. Let's

755
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: say you have a publishing deal and they're paying you

756
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: fifty grand to year to write, you gotta pay the

757
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: fifty back. Yeah it's alone. You don't have to pay

758
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: the loan back, but if you make any money, you

759
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: have to pay the money back. You know, if you

760
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: make no money ever, you don't owe them fIF and

761
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: but they'll drop you. They'll be like, all right, you

762
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: did nothing for us, thank you, but you got paid.

763
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: You got So this whole article, which was on Celebrity

764
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: net worth dot com says, listen, it's possible if you

765
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: write a big one, right and so they also had

766
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: this ten richest songs of all time, meaning these songs

767
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: have produced enough money through royalties, endorsements, streams to make

768
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: the songwriters and their errors at times extremely wealthy. So

769
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: the list was interesting. I thought it deserved its own

770
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: little segment here, and we do music segments like to

771
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: bring Eddie in for this. So if you're interested in

772
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: making a lot of money off songwriting, remember these three

773
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: tricks right number one, Right a Christmas song, Oh, because

774
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna use it every year. It's gonna pop every year.

775
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: It's a bit saturated now in country music because everybody's

776
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: got a Christmas album, but if you can get one

777
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: that hits, it's gonna stick around. And the original Christmas

778
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: songs you can These aren't covers of jingle bills, These

779
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: are the original I said, right a Christmas Songs. Number two,

780
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: write a timeless love song because again, monster love songs

781
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: from this unchained melody still make it money. Or get

782
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: your song featured in a movie that's huge. And if

783
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: you really want to hit the jackpot, right, a Christmas

784
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: love song that gets put the trifecta. So let's look

785
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: at the top ten richest songs of all times. Okay,

786
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: here we go. Song royalties and one on one, Okay.

787
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: Music royalties are payments that the rights holders that will

788
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: be the songwriter, the composer, the recording artists that they

789
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: get to license their music, right like I'm gonna sell

790
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: you the music. You don't get to keep it knowing it,

791
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: but you can use it for this amount of time.

792
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: They usually say how much, how much time you can

793
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: you have to use it, And they're paid out through

794
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: people that use the music. TV channels, radio stations like

795
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: our company has signed a deal to play music venues

796
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: streaming platforms. Now, it's kind of wild West. We're trying

797
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: to figure it out as we go because there are

798
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: so many platforms popping up. Twitch had to pull a

799
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: metallic a concert at the other day and played generic

800
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: like Dopey elevantor music Well Metallica's rocking out because they

801
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: don't have the rights to it and they don't want

802
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: to get sued. So sometimes the user will pay royalties

803
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: directly to the rights holders. There's later, there's just a lot.

804
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: I just want to explain. There's a lot of ways

805
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: money is moving around, but it's mostly licensed through You

806
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: can borrow wit for this amount of time and this

807
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: is how much it costs. But then it's back it's

808
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: mind again and for the everyday person to like if

809
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: you think, like, oh, I'm a nobody, I can just

810
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: use this in my video or whatever. They've created such

811
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: good technology now because back in the day it was

812
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: a person. It was a person going to every bar

813
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: and checking every jukebox and how many times this song played?

814
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: And you know, like, are you paying license into you know,

815
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: Alan Jackson for playing chattahoochi. Uh No, you're not. You're

816
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: getting charged. But now there's there's such a good technology

817
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: that it flags on the internet anywhere it's sold or

818
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: anywhere it's you streamed or whatever. They know exactly when

819
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: this song is played. There are two types of music rights.

820
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: There's master and composition. Do you know the difference. I'm

821
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: assuming composition is the songwriter, and then the master publisher

822
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: songwriters and publishers, sure, and then masters is your artist

823
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: recording that basically right, this gets into way many weeds,

824
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try to keep it on the edge

825
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: of the top of the You're doing a good job

826
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: so far, thank you. So royalties are paid out for

827
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: recording and for compositions. The water gets mercure, but I'm

828
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: gonna drop it off. I'm just giving you that that

829
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: giving you that base to go into. People have to

830
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: understand that everyone wants a little bit out of what

831
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: they put into that song. So that being said, that's

832
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: the legal jargon. That's what you hear at the end

833
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: of commercial. It's like no person necessary the department, and

834
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: you might it's not all the way there, but just

835
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: when people get it, okay, here we go. The ten

836
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: richest songs of all time at number ten from ninety four,

837
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: the Christmas song by meltorm A just nuts roasting on

838
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: an open fire. He wrote the music. He wrote. That's

839
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: why we all know the song. But he wrote it.

840
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: Everybody keeps cutting this song. Every time they cut it,

841
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: he gets the composition money for it. Somebody does. He's dead, right,

842
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: but he gets it like he his his body, well

843
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: his body is dead different. They got the money. Uh

844
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: this this song never ten has made about twenty million dollars.

845
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: An't that crazy? Roy Orbison and Billy D's when they

846
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: did Pretty Woman in nineteen sixty four. So this song

847
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 1: was massive when it was put out initially in the sixties,

848
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: but then think about when the movie Pretty Woman comes

849
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: out and it's basically the biggest movie the eighties. And

850
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: I believe Van Halen covered this song too, was a

851
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: pretty good hit for them. Interesting eighties. Boost your walk,

852
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm good for those. Uh it's it makes about a

853
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred two hundred thousand per year still fifty years later,

854
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: but again it's made about twenty million bucks as well

855
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,479
Speaker 1: at number eight and there are some semi contemporary songs

856
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 1: in here at number eight. Every Breath You Take Sting

857
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: It was one of the biggest hits in nineteen three,

858
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot one hundred. Every

859
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: Breath You Take number twenty five at the top one

860
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: hundred songs of all time. Puff Daddy put it I'll

861
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: be missing You. You've got to give him a lot

862
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: of credit. When this song was probably dying a little

863
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: bit puffy brought it back to life. It produces about

864
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: two thousand bucks a day or seven thousand dollars a

865
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: year for Sting. He wrote it all by himself. It's amazing,

866
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: isn't that crazy? One hundred so cool? That's that's because

867
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: a lot of these are really old. That one is not,

868
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: I mean relatively speaking. Three, Yeah, it's not bad. At

869
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: number seven, Heaven Gillespie and Fred J. Coots. In four

870
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: they wrote, Santa Claus has come into town making million bucks.

871
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's we all know it everywhere? Did

872
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: I craved this Christmas time? And every time I sing it,

873
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: even when I'm by myself. I sent him a nickel?

874
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: Somebody charges? At number six, Ben E. King, Jerry Lieber

875
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: and Mike Stoler, they wrote stand by Me estimated arnies

876
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: of the song twenty seven million dollars? Did you know?

877
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: Twenty years later movies stand by Me is a big one?

878
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: Was that? Uh? Was Morgan Freeman? No, that was? And

879
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: then stand by Me as the Kids Going in the

880
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: River Phoenix and Corey Filman, Um, did you know that? When?

881
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: Of course you knew this, but and we cover because

882
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: we cover the song raging idiots. When we play at

883
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: the venue, they're supposed to document what we play, and

884
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: if it's a cover, they submit it, and then Benny

885
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: King and those two people that you mentioned get paid

886
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: for us thing in that in the in the auditorium. Yeah,

887
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's not much, but they get something. What's

888
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: supposed to happen is a set an official set list

889
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: is given to the promoter supposed to happen, and then

890
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: the promoter submits the set list. We're supposed to actively

891
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: paid back for our own songs. I know, I don't

892
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: know that that happens. Well, you know, because I met

893
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: with I don't know, a publisher or something that I

894
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: have a deal with or something, and they a couple

895
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: of years back there like will you say well of

896
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: your set lists? And like, of course I will, dude,

897
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: two years after tour and I'm like, I didn't say

898
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: one set lists? Oops. I mean I probably have someone

899
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: word document. I probably fake it, you up. But we're

900
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: playing published music, so that would mean we the masters

901
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: the composition we wrote them. You should get paid for

902
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: performing a music. I guess I should say those unless

903
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,839

00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: think the Beatles just get streamed still so much suddenly,

915
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: well the streaming. The Beatles have only been on streaming

916
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of years because they were one of

917
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: the last ones to go and downloads. Yeah, I was

918
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: a big deal on Spotify and Apple Music finally got him.

919
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: They're making money now, I'm sure, but I don't know.

920
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a bit of of all.

921
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that their digital money is crushing like

922
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: you would think, because I can't think of a like

923
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: a movie scene or anything where I've heard Yesterday, I mean,

924
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: the Beatles was just bought so much. But you're right,

925
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know. The crazy thing about this,

926
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney, for the most part, says he wrote this

927
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,959
Speaker 1: whole song right, but they had a deal McCartney Lennon

928
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: to both be Lenda McCartney when they wrote the song.

929
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: And I didn't know that. And so Paul McCartney wrote

930
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: most a song and he went to Yoko after a

931
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, can we switch this. Let's be honest.

932
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: I wrote the whole song and Yoka was like, no,

933
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: keeping it Lenna McCartney. She's made millions off royalties. So

934
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. I can't think of a movie.

935
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: They made that whole movie called Yesterday Watch pretty terrible. Yeah,

936
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: I remember mikel I was like, it looks great. The

937
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: guy like knows the Beatles and nobody else does. Right,

938
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: it's awful, And I was like, I can't wait to

939
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: watch these, like don't watch like you can wait. Barry Manilow,

940
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: Cynthia Wheel and Phil Specter wrote, you've lost that love

941
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: and feeling movies galore? Who sings that song? They ever? Right?

942
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe That's what I'm just going by sometimes you're

943
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: coming out of my head. Mike, who wrote who sings?

944
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: You lost that loving feelings? The Righteous Brothers? It was

945
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: when you mentioned these writers, I'm like, really, these guys

946
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: wrote that song. Yeah, it's not very man, it's very man, Okay.

947
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Barry Manila wrote this song. Mind, I

948
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: just sometimes halfway to the word, I give up Sometimes

949
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: reading I just go to the next time. And then

950
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you're talking about. When you say

951
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: Phil Specter, my mind just goes to, like, whoa that

952
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: dude of murder? Right husband and wife's songwriters any Man

953
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: and Cynthia will wrote the song with producer and convicted murderer.

954
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: He may have died recently, he's dead really still spect

955
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: The Righteous Brothers. It was a top gun right. It

956
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: was already hit the top dang most played song in

957
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: radio history. This is did you know that? That's pretty cool?

958
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: We should play it tomorrow on the show. Hey, we

959
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: don't give we have two songs left. Eddie, any guesses

960
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: as to it's tough. It's I'm just like going, Hey,

961
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: guess number one through a thousand? Yeah, I know number

962
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: you guess one thousand, one through a thousand. I go

963
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: for you six six. Anyway, can you name either one

964
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: of these? I'm gonna have to just lean towards a

965
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: Christmas song for one of them. Guess, guess the Christmas

966
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: song that you think you would put on. I would

967
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: go with Mariah Carey's didn't make the top ten. I'm

968
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: sure it's made of a bunch of money. You're right.

969
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: One of them is a Christmas song at number two.

970
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: White Christmas that was on my Mind by Irving Berlin

971
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: has made thirty six million dollars. Excuse me. One writer

972
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: must have been a Hollywood writer because they made They

973
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: made that for a movie. No song captures the heart

974
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: of the holidays like White Christmas. This is iconic. It's

975
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: also ironic when you consider the fact that it was

976
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: written by Jewish immigrant from Russia being Crosby's version is

977
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: by far the most famous, but countless artists have recorded it.

978
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Over a hundred million copies sold worldwide. It's pretty ironic.

979
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: What song is known to everyone is number one? It's

980
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: made fifty million. It's the most it's made more, I mean,

981
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: thirty six is to fifties number one. What song in

982
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: royalties has made fifty million dollars? It brings in five

983
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day two million a year in royalties.

984
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: It costs two dollars used this next song in a

985
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: movie or TV show, which is often why you see

986
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: actors sing an odd, changed up version of it on screen.

987
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: This also explains why chain restaurants sing their own custom version.

988
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: Chain read. There's a lot of good hints in there.

989
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: You may not even realize this, but it's technically illegal

990
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: to sing this song in a large group of unrelated people,

991
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: like an office party without paying a royalty. Got it,

992
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: but I know what it is. But this has got

993
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: to be free by now right. No. They copyright for

994
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: Happy Birthday expires in twenty thirty in the United States,

995
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: and I believe it has expired in Europe already. I

996
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: believe so, like two thousand, sixteen seventeen, it ended there

997
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: to two thousand thirty. We're almost there. But then you

998
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: can have a happy birthday. Here you go, your number

999
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: one song. It was written happy Birthday. M hmm, original,

1000
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: that's the original on piano for their words to it, Nope,

1001
00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: oh oh, they like Scooby doo ay. So the person

1002
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: who did the words though, should probably get a little

1003
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: bit of credit to right, because like whenever part of

1004
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: the happy Birthday song is like happy birthday, dear Bobby.

1005
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: Like that's unique. This guy just sounds like you're just

1006
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: doing on the piano. Who's who's the first guy that

1007
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: said we gotta put a name right in there. I

1008
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know who woute the words? Do you, Mike? I

1009
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 1: don't know what if those aren't even the fishing words.

1010
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: Guys like, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard. There

1011
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: you go, those are your big money maker songs. So

1012
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: write you a song it's about Christmas, or it's a

1013
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: love song, or that's about fall in love Christmas. Should

1014
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: we just rewrite happy birthday? At some point we have

1015
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: done that happy birthday to yea happy birthday, and then

1016
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: Chili's as a happy happy birthday, you know, and then

1017
