Speaker 1: I had somebody paint for me the last time, and

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,480

00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: But we're painting. The decks, have three decks and who

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: it's been a long time. I'm like, yeah, well it

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: has been a long time. We're playing at the Bluebird.

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: You and I we played that Cherry event. You're like, yeah,

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: having back, I got a dumpster out. We're tearing out

43
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: the house still got the dumpster dumpster still there. Yeah,

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it was kind of like it's a three story kind

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: of cabin house that we started in the center of

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: the house and then we moved to basically just remodeling

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing, like new windows, new ac and heating

48
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: and sending the floors, a new kitchen, knocked down, three walls.

49
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: You like that? Do you like that? You like the house? Well,

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I didn't do I help. I helped, you know, get

51
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: kind of planted out. And because I'm on the road

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: of life, if I could do with my schedule, it

53
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: would be like four years. We'd still be talking about

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: from the hole of my house four years from now.

55
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I enjoy it. It's a good release

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: from music. This whole week I've kind of just not

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: really done anything with music until like today I picked

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: up a guitar practicing a song I gotta play for

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: AC monitors, and and then we got the podcast and

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: just kind of then taking off tomorrow I'll go back

61
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: on tour. But it's good to like do something like

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: paying a deck. That's just kind of satisfying. You know,

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: you hate painting walls. That's not my thing. It's just

64
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: so like even like you ever paint in your house,

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: did a good job, but like I did that, you

66
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: did that? Oh yeah, I'm great. I'm the opposite. When

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: I could, I could hire someone to paint again. I

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: never painted again. Yeah, I know. I messed up a

69
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: lot of ceilings with my paint jobs. But the deck

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: was easy because it's it's kind of it's like it's

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: more like sweeping, kind of mindless. Yeah, and you see

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: I could a dirty go to like super clean. Yeah.

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Do you ever watched the stuff on Reddit where they

74
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: do you ever get on Reddit? Because they have to

75
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: have a whole like subreddit of satisfying things, and it's

76
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: exactly what you're talking about. Like they'll take a power

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: washers and power washing a deck and it goes from

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: being disgusting and you watch it just gets super clean. Mike. Yeah,

79
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: yeah it was fine. Yeah, power washing the day too.

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: The deck star looked like crap after even after the

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: power Yeah, it needed to be painted really bad. What

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: are you playing at ACM Honors? Do you know? Can

83
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: you say? I mean it's not on TV or anything,

84
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I guess, or are you supposed to be quiet? About it. Um,

85
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, it's a it's a a

93
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: trying to slow down my pronunciation. Ah, you'd be good.

94
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be you. Yeah, but you know you

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,440

186
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: just a lot of people on Universal. There's a lot

187
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: of yeah, because a lot of people putting out record artists,

188
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: I would say putting out records. What that means is

189
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: you're a record label. How they have a lot of

190
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: people to put time and effort into investment, both money

191
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: time promotion. They can't just throw them all out. Yeah,

192
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: they're looking for the fair slot basically, and it be

193
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: almost three years. Yeah, it's crazy. I'll say this though.

194
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: I know for you that it's felt like a long

195
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: process because you were in on the creation of this record.

196
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: You were in on the curating of the tracks and

197
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: what to put on, what to sing, you were in

198
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: on the promotion. So it's probably felt much longer for me,

199
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: someone who actually enjoys the record. I'm surprised it's been

200
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: out two years. And I've enjoyed the record since it

201
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: come And I told you that when it come out,

202
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and said, wow, man, this thing sounds progressive but still

203
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: still contemporary country. It doesn't feel as tired as you

204
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: probably feel of just playing the same songs. Well, and

205
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: we sorry, I'm overdriving. We get a lot of feedback

206
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: and it's not I mean, of course fans want new music,

207
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: but there's not like a super demand like they're like

208
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: still rocking still and you know, and a lot of

209
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: fans were happy the night shift was going to be

210
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: on the radio. And when it comes on radio, you know,

211
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: it gives it's it's rocking and it feels good. And

212
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: I think it's got a good spot to have that

213
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: kind of feel on the radio. Right now. I like it.

214
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I did. I would just ignore it.

215
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: If I didn't like it, I just ignore it and

216
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: not even not even do it. Oh so what is

217
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: your your quintessential Nashville story? And everybody's got one, like, well,

218
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: what was the moment for you where it kind of

219
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: went or I gotta go? And then what's the story

220
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: off you're getting to Nashville to actually pursue with the

221
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: career that you're in now. Hmm, well, let's see. I

222
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot before Nashville. When was it Okay,

223
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: so you start making music in California about what age

224
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: when you start actually performing and making some money and thinking, okay,

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: maybe I could do something musically. Well, I have a

226
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: first band of fourteen and we played the Dixon Mayfair

227
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: and you know, like during its kind of like rock

228
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: and roll punkish, kind of like the rebellion from being

229
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: growing up singing at Jackson and George Strait and were

230
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: you still doing some like Nirvana any of the nineties

231
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: we did, you know, we were in the Leonard Skinnered

232
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: phase and like, you know, some classic rock and Tom

233
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Petty lots of Tom Petty Um Mama friends jammed out

234
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: the like Rage Against Machine and Nirvana and you know,

235
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: like Blink Went eight two and Green Day were huge

236
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: at a time. And and I kind of took that

237
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: one when you asked the question when you start like

238
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: playing for real and kind of making tips and stuff

239
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: eighteen but I was singing country again, but I had

240
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: this like kind of fast rock and roll vibe to it.

241
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: And then I went to a place called Chico, California,

242
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and has a college there called Chico State, and it

243
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: is like party down, good time, and formed a country

244
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: band and learned and I had a mandolin player and

245
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: he kind of taught me a lot about bluegrass. And

246
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: so we had this up about eighteen years old. Here

247
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: I was of nineteen okay, nineteen twenty basically that lasted

248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty two. And then after that I moved

249
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: in Nashville, and uh, I was knew I wanted to

250
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: move in Nashville. I took some trips out kind of

251
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, realize that match should probably be twenty one,

252
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: so I can get into the bars, you know, like

253
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: hang out and like get up and do a microphone

254
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: you get there just still places you can play with it.

255
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and eight, you know, even that

256
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: way may I moved here with an atlas, like I

257
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: didn't have GPS on my phone, Like it's still kind

258
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: of it was. It seemed so like, really did you

259
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: have a horse and a buggy? And it seems like

260
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: so long ago? Yeah, like what would you do without

261
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: your GPS? Now? But that we're back in the day.

262
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: We have maps, and it was pretty easy. There was

263
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: three three highways and what's that drive? What's that drive?

264
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: Like three days? Yeah, um, three days of excitement, you know,

265
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: twenty two. I was excited, like I'm doing it. My

266
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: mom was sad. My dad was like, go get a job.

267
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: You like trying to he's such a worker. Um, but

268
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: he you know, my dad every pushing me to go

269
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: to Nashville. You know. They always said it ain't gonna

270
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: happening here, you know, And so saved up some money

271
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: when I was working for my dad, and I got

272
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: my dog in a PA system and I drove to Nashville,

273
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: found a place to live, and was on the ground,

274
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, kind of hanging out. And you drove three days,

275
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: three three and a half. I think, so you and

276
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: your dog, you sleep in the truck. You stop at

277
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: hotels that we accepted dogs. We'd he'd stay in the

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: truck because sometimes I'm sneaking in. But we had you know,

279
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: he had guitars and stuff back there, and he like,

280
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: he wasn't the dog that you wanted to open the campershell,

281
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: you like, he would bite you and he's scary, and

282
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: so he kind of and he was fine staying in

283
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: the truck. So how do you get a place to live,

284
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: Like if you're coming from California and northern California or so,

285
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and you got to find a place to live. But

286
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: we we came in a couple of trips that I've

287
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: come out, you know, like you can easily network and

288
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, kind of meet people. And I just did

289
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: that and I was, you know, I was excited. I

290
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: live within you know, when you're twenty two, you live

291
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: in a bathroom. You know, if you had if it

292
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: was cheap enough to you know, provide and and a

293
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: lot of these people I don't even don't talk to

294
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: you anymore, like that that phase where it's just, you know,

295
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of starting at the bottom. I mean the bottom

296
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: learning learning, the town learning learning how it was back

297
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: in the day. I mean it's totally different. Now you

299
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,920

300
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: get here, you met a few people on some trips

301
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: where you come check it out, But how do you

302
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,200

00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: during the Comfort that were fun, they were upbeat, they

306
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: were different, you know, And so I always had that

307
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: in my back pocket. I never like really even shared that,

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: but I just go out and mingle. I got a

309
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: job as a lifeguard and uh an after school counselor.

310
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: That kind of helped me get by, and um and

311
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: and and uh. I got to back up before really

312
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: getting down to the nitty gritty of how I survived

313
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: the long hair days. Um So, in my neighborhood, while

314
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: I was living in a basement, there was a townhouse

315
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: you can get with no payment down. Yeah, And my

316
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: mom was like she was, I'll co signed with you.

317
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know, going from California and Nashville. That

318
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: townhouse wasn't too bad. But I had like four rooms

319
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: and three two and a half bathrooms. It was like

320
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: I could totally rent this out. And like I literally

321
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: rented every room at a house. And that was I

322
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: was paying my mortgage and I was playing and I

323
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: had my little lifeguarding job, but I didn't um you know,

324
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: through Mingland basically and kind of getting that one shot

325
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: to get up there and play a song that at

326
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: the time and you know, everybody kind of liked and

327
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: it was fun and we get like we get him

328
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: and play that song again. And that kind of happened

329
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: in place called Losers and that was kind of like

330
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: my home. And I ended up playing substituting. You know,

331
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: the guy couldn't make a gig. They'd call me come

332
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: play four hours. I knew a bunch of covers because

333
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: we played in covers and we played for four hours

334
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: in northern California like we were you know, we started

335
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: ten and we ended it too. So I was like

336
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I can do that, man. I can do that. So

337
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: we just kind of did that for two years and

338
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I landed through mingling and taking songs with publishers, and

339
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I knew Bart, my co producer. Now I kind of

340
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: knew him, and he would sometimes answer my phone calls.

341
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: I always make that a joke. Now he answered my

342
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: phone call, but he kind of sat me up. We

343
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: in with some people and and just kind of climb

344
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: the ladder. This is an old school way, like shaking hands.

345
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm John, Yeah, I'm a songwriter. I kind

346
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: of focused on songwriting. I didn't want to go play downtown.

347
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: You didn't want to go play like Broadway where all

348
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: the moments right. No, I was like I did that,

349
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, I got that. I need to learn how

350
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: to write, Like what how does Nashville right? How can

351
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: I put How could I fit into this this system

352
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: that there it's obviously songwriters, you know, and really focused

353
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: on that and got a publishing deal and then got

354
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: some songs and you know, how to show, you know,

355
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: started doing We got enough songs for a showcase. Three

356
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: showcases in I got signed by Capitol Records with handshake deal.

357
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: It was kind of like and it took a year

358
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: to sign the contract. Once two down eleven we got signed,

359
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: and then they're like, your first single comes out in

360
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: two down and twelve, so there's another year. So two years,

361
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: and I just kept writing and writing and writing and

362
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: recording songs, even demos and kind of learning, learning, and

363
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: then you know, that felt like forever though, Like from

364
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: the moment that your handshakes signed, you're excited, and you

365
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: got to wait two years for your first song to

366
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: come out. I bet that was us. It felt like

367
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: a slow two years to get that first thing out there. Well,

368
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a great booking agent, and we

369
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of we had a lot of through showcase,

370
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: I found a ban and we had a van, and

371
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: we learned the South and there was a lot of

372
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: places that we still talk about playing and like a

373
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are still I see all the

374
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: time that that gave us a shot because we could

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: play cover, We could do this, you know, we could

376
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: we could play for three hours. You know, that was

377
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: no problem with me throwing some originals, make eight hundred bucks,

378
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, max out your credit card, hop in a

379
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: van and go you know in the van. It's great.

380
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: That's why. Now, why everybodys asked why is music in Nashville. Well,

381
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: it's it's easy for a van to get around really

382
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: when it comes down to because back in the day

383
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: was for Cadillacs to get around. So, I mean, the

384
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: van was really hard to keep up with a tour bus.

385
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. That was like play a show,

386
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: getting a van, drive for five hours, sleeping a hotel,

387
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: wake up early to go keep you know, trying to

388
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: trying to catch up. But we were always playing. I

389
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: was always writing, so it just and everything was new.

390
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't from the South. I learned what

391
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: college football was all about because back in the West

392
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: it's not as huge as this year. You're like, So

393
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: I was learning all this stuff. I was making new

394
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: friends and and of course you know, I had a

395
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: record deal. But you know, one day, it was always

396
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: one day. It's still always one day. But just kept

397
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: on grinding and kept on believing. Still always one day.

398
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: You're right about that. It's still always one day for

00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: had four singles on the radio. My first record was

444

Speaker 1: We got the whole story down. Then up all night,

458
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: And that was in two thousand and fourteen, Up all night.

459
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: This is this is a jam too. I gotta come

460
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: back to this, but yeah, this is one. When I

461
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: moved to town, I think this had had lived its

462
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: life and had gone away, but was still one that

463
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: people were kind of in love with. Still, yeah, this

464
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: is this is one turn up a little bit wrong.

465
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: That's a good one. You still like that one. Yeah,

466
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: we played, we still played. I still like what I

467
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: can't put down? That was right, That was right before

468
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: Up All Night and I was like, this is it,

469
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: this is the one, you know, but it just didn't

470
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, test will and people played it. But it

471
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: got the thirty three and knew it put up on

472
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: Night Out and uh, we got to put the album out,

473
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: and which is a big deal because you have to

474
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: have some momentum in that single for them to go, okay,

475
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: we'll now put some money behind a full album. And

476
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: it was a full album, had eleven songs on it,

477
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: and it changed the van life basically. And so but

478
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: what my point is of California Sunrise, there's four years

479
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: of writing and being on the radio. Regardless of what,

480
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, I still was always top forty because I

481
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: still have believers in country radio. No matter how high,

482
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: what failures, whatever it, I still believed. Like we got

483
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: in the label. Was always like, it's not a race,

484
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a marathon. You know, you gotta take

485
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: your time and like just keep doing what you're doing.

486
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: You believe that what is happening. Um, you know, I

487
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: never really got two worked up about it because you know,

488
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: if you did listen to what I was doing, it

489
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: was kind of it was kind of different. You know,

490
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: it was country, but it was upbeat, but it was country.

491
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: And I kind of came into my own like I'm

492
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: still growing up. I was only I got signed at

493
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: twenty six, and I no, I don't you know, I

494
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: don't even know, I don't remember. But I'm still growing

495
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: up as like into a young man, into a man.

496
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: And I got to do that with the record label

497
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: and kind of under the radar, you know, not like

498
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 1: just boom, here I am world. I kind of got

499
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: to learn it all and and not be like the

500
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: in the headliner, you know, where it's just like because

501
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: you know sometimes like boom, I'm here, and it wasn't

502
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: like that for me. And then I kind of became this,

503
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is who I am. When

504
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: California Sunrise came out and I had friends on I

505
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: worked at radio, friends that listen to my music, people

506
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: are gave me great advice and all that just through

507
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: hard word, and what California Sunrise was me is like

508
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: this is what I this is the new take on that.

509
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: Four years of radio touring country fiddle still you know

510
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff I I love, and it was just

511
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: at that point. I remember you posted an Instagram video

512
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: probably two years ago, and it was at a festival

513
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: and the entire crowd was singing head over boots, remember

514
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: messaging going god like it's a this is amazing like that.

515
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: They were singing all of it. Watershed it was Watershed, yeah,

516
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: and George Comma Washington. Yeah, and it was the Gorge. Yeah,

517
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: the Gorge. I probably spelt him wrong. It was so

518
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: excit is it Gorge not George. No, it's the Gorge.

519
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: I've played that while played Watershed, I thought I thought

520
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: it was George Washington. I thought it was the Gorge

521
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: and George. I mean, it's cooler and George Washington. I

522
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: always thought that was the thing I was like, named

523
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: George Washington. Did you ever think that, dear, Oh it

524
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: is called the Gorge. I thought it was the Gorge

525
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: and George. Anyway, I'm an idiot. But moving on, I

526
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: remeb watching that video and going, oh, this is now

527
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: arrived on kind of a macro level. No, it's not

528
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: just a song that it's cool and it's gonna come

529
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: and go like it's still the one when you have

530
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: a whole thirty forty thousand people singing every word of

531
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: the Yeah, give me some of that again. I mean

532
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: the whole crowd was out of their minds singing this song. Bonkers.

533
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: It was fun. That was a that was the first

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: that was probably one of the most surreal, like wow,

535
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: this is the first you know, you kind of get

536
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: emotional on stuff, and it was that was that was

537
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: really cool and uh I was I always remember that

538
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: because that typically here we go within words, but that slot,

539
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: um was we finally got you know a little later

540
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: on and like Merle Haggart was supposed to play either

541
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: I think right in front of me, were right behind me,

542
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was like, you know, but he

543
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: passed like two months before and then being came out

544
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: and played before us, and it was like kind of

545
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: crazy that like with that moment and Merle Haggard was,

546
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, gonna play right for me, which probably would

547
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: have been like no, Meryles, I'll played before me, but

548
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: it was like he just passed it and it was

549
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: It's one of those things like dang, you know, uh

550
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: from that crowd and that kind of just that introspective

551
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: me and Merle would have played together, and then it

552
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know, it's one of the moments I'll

553
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: ever get. Yeah, that's a good one, just watching it

554
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: so that that hits. And then it was like, all right,

555
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: what happened to next? With John Party? He had head

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: over Boots, Charlie's not gonna put another song and Boots

557
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: in eh, And then boy did you ever Yeah? But

558
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean and you raised it. I mean you saw

559
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Boots and you raised that funkier Boots man. Yeah, what's

560
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: that conversation? Like where you go? All right, we got

561
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: another song that we love, but it's named this basically

562
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: the same thing. What do we do? Is that a

563
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: room conversation? Everybody's sitting around? Um, well, I you know,

564
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: I research a lot. I you know, I listened. You

565
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: know iTunes is great because they have like they have,

566
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, things like playlists of like e you know,

567
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: new mute artists from all the top of the levels,

568
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm always like listening and stuff and

569
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: so like I do pay attention. And I pointed out

570
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: that Keith Urban had two he had at that year,

571
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: he had cop car and then somewhere in my car,

572
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, this this another car song,

573
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: another Boots song, you know, and my favorite was the

574
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: president of Universal, Mike Dungan, was like, you know, I

575
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: don't care about back to back Boots songs. I care

576
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: about back to back hits. That's literally what he said.

577
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, put it out. You know. Uh,

578
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: I always say to everybody asked me, it's like I

579
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: wear boots all the time. I wear on boots right now.

580
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not like something that it is

581
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: a just a thing. I have a lot of boots.

582
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 1: I look at that two boots, so I'm gonna row

583
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, look at that hit. After a hit, he started,

584
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: So when did you go from the van of the

585
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: tour bus. That's a big step in in the life

586
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: because a tour bus is expensive. Yeah, well they're still expensive.

587

Speaker 1: so in style. I mean, you didn't make the bikini.

00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't. You don't set the trends. I'm not setting

641
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: the trends. Now, you know all did. So the internet

642
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: starts to go all the heads. You get any text

00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: from your buddi or anybody at the label, going what

00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: managing everything in the only thing my manager was like, well,

647
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: don't comment back, you know, I'm I'm like whatever. I

648
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: was just messing with people. But you know, there's you know,

649
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: regardless of what you're gonna do, there's always gonna be

650
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: some negativity. But there was. There was a lot of like,

651
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: it's somewhere to go through comments and our favorite was

652
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: which my husband post pitched from my butt on Instagram.

653
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: That's right, And obviously you know I got a girl.

654
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: I got a girlfriend. Now she's got a great butt.

655
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: Like here it is. I'm not lying, right, You're being honest,

656
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: honest with the people. How's that going? By the way,

657
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: how's a girlfriend? She's great. I mean it's it's the

658
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: first time that you realize you found somebody great. Oh yeah, yeah,

659
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: it's a tough that's a tough thing for a man

660
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: to be. Like, I could be good when you when

661
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: you're so used to being bad. But I've been super

662
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: respectful to her, and we don't fight, and we do

663
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: everything together and we talk about things. That's a big

664
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: thing to talk about things, to talk about things, and

665
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: it's never on a high level. It's always on a

666
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: very even even and like calm because she's so calm,

667
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: and uh, it's been an eye opener for me. So

668
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: we have fun and we live it to the fullest.

669
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: And and you know, we we'd like to. We don't

670
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: argue about things. We like the same things. We're both

671
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: from California and out west, you know, it's just it's

672
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: a whole different kind of thing out there. And but

673
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I love the South to too, so it's kind of

674
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: like I said, I grew up here too, So there's

675
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: both both worlds. You know. It's funny about northern California

676
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: because I spend a good amount of time I might

677
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: actually want to tell. This weekend, I'm doing two comedy shows,

678
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: one in Sacramento, one in Bakersfield, and so I spend

679
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: a good in my time in Northern California. But it's

680
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: probably the closest thing to the South in form of people.

681
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: The people are very similar, and I think that's why

682
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: that I have embraced them and they have embraced me. Yeah,

683
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: so much, because the sensibilities are very similar. They love

684
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: country too, they love country music, but they're they're real

685
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: people and it Southern California is tough for me. Yeah,

686
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Los Angeles guy. Everything feels a

687
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: little plastic to me. It's a good place to visit.

688
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: The weather's good and I get I also get carsick

689
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: like bait. Yeah. I like Northern California though, like the

690
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: people down, there's some hospitality there. Maybe maybe that's what

691
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: it is. Everybody's just so aspitable it. They're really hard

692
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: workers out there. And most of my my friends in

693
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: the towns that you know, my mom lives and sheets

694
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: from Winners, my dad's from Dixon's, two small towns that

695
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: right next to each other. Most of all my friends

696
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: got a jobs and they're working hard and they're struggling

697
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: just to find a house because real estate is so

698
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: higher out there, and it's just but they're still working

699
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: and they work hard, and they chased their dreams. And

700
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: I feel like, like any you know, that blue collar

701
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: red neck you know, not even you don't have to

702
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: be ready work at a bank. I don't know, it's

703
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: still like in all involved in that area is it's like,

704
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: let's you know, go get it, you know. And I

705
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: feel like the South is a lot like that too,

706
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: and and there's nice people. And the only thing with

707
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: Nashville now it's it's like you get spoiled here with food.

708
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: So good food. Yeah, it's too good at food. You

709
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: go back, you go back home. I was like, where

710
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: are we going babble Bees? Like you know, but there's

711
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: some great there's some great local restaurants that I go

712
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: to back home to you know what I'm saying. But

713
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: it's funny because back in the day when I moved

714
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: to Nashville with like the Longhorn rous Chris was we

715
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: were going out, you know, that was we were going there.

716
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: Wasn't you know, Kane Pryne or Jeff Rubies or like

717
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: all these like independent restaurants and stuff. So I don't

718
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: know how I'm talking about restaurants, but hate to go

719
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 1: to a place called Bonanza and um Hot Springs, Arkansas.

720
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: That was town from Mount Pine, seven hundred people. We

721
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: had to go to town to get town stuff like

722
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Walmart and Bonanza. It's good a place called Bonanza. And

723
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: the art of the salad bar, I feel has been

724
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: lost a bit lately. At nice restaurants, they had the

725
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: greatest salad bar. I crush a salad bar. Hey, when

726
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: I moved to Nashville, if you would have asked me,

727
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: what what's your idea of a great night and a

728
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: great restaurant? Olive Garden all day? Still me too, super well.

729
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: I think my car got busted into Memphis Alive Garden

730
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: like eight months ago, but I stopped Alive Garden. I

731
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: wanted it so bad. The sad sup and salad, the

732
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: bread rolls, everything's good at a garden. I think too,

733
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: the thing I had my twenty first birthday dinner at

734
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: all I think the things that we liked and that

735
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: we found were special when we were growing up are

736
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: still special to us. Yeah. For example, I mean it's

737
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: simple stuff, you know, but it was great Red Lobster

738
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: to me once a year. My family, you know, I

739
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: grew up poor family. We went to town to have

740
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: one dinner a year, and it was at Red Lobster

741
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: every year. And because of that, I still drop out

742
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: Red Lobster and go. I love that place just because

743
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: of that. That's a special place for me, and so

744
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: I still go by. I think something with Olive Garden,

745
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: like I really don't even know how good Olive Garden

746
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: is anymore, because I still go and I just enjoy

747
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: it because what it used to tastes like, I don't

748
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: know if it tastes good anymore. If I went into

749
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: it today, it's still pretty good and I still eat

750
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: it today, but I wouldn't know if if I walk

751
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: in for the first time today, if I can Postmas,

752
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: you can Postmates now. You can just haven't come come

753
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: to the house. That's true. I get Postmates in Malive Garden.

754
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about LifeLock for just one second. I always

755
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. Sometimes you can be careful and you

756
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: still get hit. Now, there's something called crypto jacking, which

757
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: it makes it it's not kind of fun until you

758
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: actually learned what it is. Cyber thieves were getting access

812
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: um my buddy came and broke up the fight and

813
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: pushed me back in his hands full of blood. And

814
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: then that was like the beginning of the ride to

815
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: the hospital. So what happens. So we're in the country

816
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: and my my, my buddy he's now a firefighter paramedic,

817
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: but he was always trying to be a firefighter paramedic.

818
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: So he's like, all drive, We're going to hospital. So

819
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: he's like he knew the back roads. So we're like

820
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: screaming down his back roads. Girls are screaming and crying,

821
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: calling nurses and like, so the nurse through the phone

822
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: was like, you know, compressing the wounds, took my shirt off,

823
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: blood everywhere. You got to have a part of your

824
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: belly eleven it's eleven inches across the center. Oh, he

825
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: stuck it and then went across and I got two

826
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: right on the left side. Wow, so you're bleeding pretty hard. Yeah, no,

827
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: we were bleeding, and we were bleeding. Um. The first

828
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: hospital we stopped at didn't have emergency room. It was

829
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: like an animal hospital. Now I haven't heard at the time,

830
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: they didn't have emergency room. So we had to drive

831
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, fifteen miles to UC Davis and we

832
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: got there and they didn't even know what you mean that,

833
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: Like there's not ever a feeling you want to go

834
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: through when you're like going into like the sports er

835
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: and like there's a guy in football paths like busted

836
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: arm and like you know, hold hold. It was just

837
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: kind of very calm injuries and we were like busted

838
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: through the door, like you know, like he's dad. It's

839
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: just blood everywhere. Like I couldn't imagine being in the

840
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: lobby and like, oh my god, this guy comes in here,

841
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: there's blood everywhere. Um. And so they kind of did

842
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: some tests on me, like for visual and like asking

843
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: me like you know, they wanted me to pee and

844
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: try to see if there's blood in the ear and

845
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: to kind of see if they caught any internal organs.

846
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: And I couldn't pee. I she was kind of cute nurse,

847
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, she's just sitting there like pee

848
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like I can't pee right now, Like stop

849
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: it stop, I'll be fine. And so they sent me

850
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: off a Sacramento an ambulance, and man, I was it's

851
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, going from that like kind of

853
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,880

00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: was like literally, like I said, I was in like

859
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: this is where it goes down like what you see

938
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: the thing, it's it's it's still the same, but it's

939
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: it's just a little country. What are people going to

945
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: In his country, it's different. Um. I feel like as

946
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: an artist like John Mayer is pulled. He just posted

947
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: something about songwrit It was great, you know, and I

948
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: was reading it two right before we come winting. Me

949
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: read it was great and it was talking about doing

950
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: your own thing and being you because that's what people

951
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: want to remember you for. It was something in that

952
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, it was a reminder that he

953
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: posted to himself. It says songwriting reminders to myself. This

954
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: is from John Mayer's Instagram. Be brave. You're not here

955
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: to line up behind what's cool. You're here to share

956
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: what you truly love, even if people aren't into it

957
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: at the moment. Walk alone and gather a line behind you.

958
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Yeah, he said. Seeing real words, even

959
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: if they're nonsense, they usually hold subconscious truths. Number three,

960
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: Write lyrics in total silence for at least twenty minutes

961
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: a day. If you're cool, your beats are cool. Everyone

962
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: is beat shy. I felt like you had some real

963
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: I think the rhythm on your California Sunrise super strong.

964
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: There's lots of rhythm on next year, a lot more so.

965
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: I think than a lot of people would have expect

966
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: out of a John Party record. I think all about grooving. Yeah,

967
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: it's it's gotta groove. I love. I mean I can

968
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: play the drums. I'm not good, but yeah, I still

969
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: feel like that in your drummer. Whenever you get a

970
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: good beat by a great drummer, you're like lip rises

971
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: up and you want to go, oh yeah, you know,

972
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: like um, but this when I saw this today, all

973
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, all my kind of like you know, it's

974
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: hard being traditional, but this record is upbeat in it

975
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: and it's in a different like. It goes to number

976
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: one on John Mayer's Instagram. Be brave. You're not here

977
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: to line up behind what's cool. Here to share what

978
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: you truly love, even if people aren't into it at

979
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: the moment. Walk alone and gather a line behind you.

980
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: When I read that, I was like I needed that,

981
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: thanks brother John. Yeah, isn't it too. Whenever you have

982
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: like minded people. I find this with one of my

983
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: one of my friends who does radio and television, that

984
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: whenever you share your insecurities and even we'll call them

985
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: problems with what you do, that they often relate and

986
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: you go, oh, I'm not alone, like I would like that,

987
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: walk alone and gather a line behind you. I would go,

988
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: I would have to think someone like you who you

989
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: definitely have your own style. At times you get to like, boy,

990
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: this is it's kind of a risk, but walk alone

991
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: and gather on line behind you, wish John Merrod, I

992
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: would think you would relate to that a bit. Yeah,

993
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: And this record's you know, it's more country. But we're

994
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: never not thinking about being played on the radio, like

995
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: there's something you know, like there, I'm just gonna do

996
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: my own thing. You know, I don't need the radio

997
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: blah blah like they I've just heard that to me times.

998
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: It's like, no, my dream was always be played on

999
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: the radio. But I have to be me, you know,

1000
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: I have to you kind of have to meet that

1001
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: best of both worlds where he's like, this is it.

1002
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: This is the one that that I want to hear

1003
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: on radio. Who do you call if you're like, man,

1004
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm struggling artist wise. If you're an artist, man, let

1005
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: me let me ask for some advice. Who what artists

1006
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: would you call that's kind of taking you under the wing,

1007
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: or you've grown up with in Nashville where you could

1008
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: actually lean on them for advice. Um, Dirk Spiley, Luke Bryan.

1009
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Thomas Rhetz really great because you know, he's

1010
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy that that figured you know, he had

1011
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: started out with like that kind of redneck rock and

1012
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: stuff and then he kind of changed this whole world

1013
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: into this whole kind of almost JT a little bit,

1014
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: but you know, and he's doing great, but like he's

1015
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: still a huge fan of my music. And like we

1016
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: wrote together and we just kind of hung out and

1017
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: try to write a song. We got a verse into

1018
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: chorus and and we just kind of talked about where

1019
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: we were, you know, because me and Time went way back.

1020
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: We played acoustic together, both had long hair, and uh,

1021
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: it was you know, it's just those moments that are

1022
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: like our release, you know, and I haven't really you know,

1023
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: I've had great a lot of my label I'll ask

1024
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: for advice from and then of course Dirks and Luke

1025
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: and everybody, But um, I spent a lot of times

1026
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: just fingered it out, you know, and then Instagram and

1027
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that's my favorite, Like when I saw when

1028
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: it was really awesome and actually Jared Jared Johnson, he's

1029
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: he I followed John and Jared he posted, he reposted it,

1030
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: and I started really I was like, oh my god,

1031
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: this is great and um so there's a lot of

1032
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: things that you kind of remember, and I think that

1033
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: that post is something that will always kind of be

1034
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: burned in my brains. Vulnerable Luke. Luke told me a

1035
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: great line back in the day, and it was right

1036
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: when some something didn't work out and and he told me,

1037
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: the longer it takes, more time you get to figure

1038
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: it out. I was like that, that's that's pretty good,

1039
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I kind of kept that with me

1040
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: and figure it out. That's another guy too, who is

1041
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: as country as could possibly be. Yead is able to

1042
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: do some really progressive stuff. Yeah, and nobody really questions

1043
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: how country is and they shouldn't because he is. Yeah,

1044
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's able to really be on both sides

1045
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: of it, like he is who he is. Uh yeah,

1046
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's I see a lot of you in

1047
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: that well. I mean he's hunting, fishing them and every

1048
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: day man and that. But that's Luke, that is he

1049
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 1: And he's always fishing, he's always doing something on tour,

1050
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: and he's working. He's a workaholic too. I mean he

1051
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,919
Speaker 1: he has to work. He's so mean. Fifty six million

1052
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: dollars last year. He's doing good. Fifty six. I spent

1053
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: a much time in Look. Ain't no different look now

1054
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: than it was three years ago. It still goes the

1055
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: fly rods and fishing trips. Look at that. I don't

1056
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: even know. I don't even know. It's it's fun to

1057
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: watch you kind of you know, take take control of

1058
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: this thing, and you never really have control. But like

1062
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: That's cool man, it's cool. I love it. I just uh,

1063
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: I respect what you do. I'm I was looking for

1064
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: the next move. And it have been stressful. It has

1065
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: been stressful just with the time being on tour or

1066
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: not having new new music to play and and having

1067
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of songs and not being done with that

1068
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: bats to really start carving in your your final track

1069
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: list and so we're not there yet and that that's

1070
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: it's very stressful. But this week, you know, painting the deck,

1071
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: organizing the tools, getting the pressure washer route, mowing the lawns,

1072
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: and just kind of doing that. It's really just kind

1073
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: of really helped. And and and the reason I kind

1074
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: of just give that advice to anybody is like I

1075
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: picked up the guitar a day and I had that

1076
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: feeling of like, man, I missed just playing a guitar

1077
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: by myself, you know, and just and sometimes you lose

1078
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: that when you pick it up every night and you

1079
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: you get and you sing your songs every night, and

1080
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: you come back and you're tired and you got to

1081
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: do it all over again. So it's really good to

1082
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: put it down and just remember that that's a special

1083
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: bond that you have with that guitar and songwriting, and

1084
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: that's that's that magic that I felt it again to

1085
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: day and it was awesome. Like at we've done an

1086
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: hour sitting here talking, it's very selful. That was a

1087
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: soulful hour, just how we ended on such a poignant note,

1088
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: poignant party. Hey, I can I can get down. I

1089
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: can get down. I have no doubt. I'm not afraid

1090
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: to do some self healing and and talk about things

1091
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: because I feel like, yeah, you know, Summers another person

1092
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: that taught me like we really have to talk about

1093
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: things because uh, you know, going from being single maniac

1094

Speaker 1: single artists to you know, trying to make things work.

1096
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,359
