1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Episode three sixty three Crook and Chase, which I listened

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: to Crook and Chase my whole life. I mean as

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: a kid. They were the They were on the radio

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: every weekend. I would hear and then I would see

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: him on TV on tenn and you know, a lot

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: of months and months ago, Mike, we were like, let's

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: get Crook and Chase. And then when I saw a

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: pop up my calendar, I message talk about like more

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Very excited. Yeah, just because they just

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: they know it all. They have some great stories about

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash and Shania Twain and Taylor Swift and they've

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: just been in it for a long time. And I

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: think some of people forget how famous they were in

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: country music because they had they had a national TV

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: show on all the country channels as well as the

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: radio show. You know, so they were the face of

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: country music on a national level forever and obviously still are.

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: We wouldn't want to talk to him, I mean so,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: but just a really great interview. And I can attest

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: that Charlie Chase his voice is like this even when

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: he's not on the air, he just has a very

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: deep voice. But you know, they met back in three.

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't even want to run it in the preview

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: because because I kind of find out some stuff during

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: the interview as well, which I thought was super cool.

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: It's also funny when I was like, do people think

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: you're married? Because you know, I probably did when I

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: was a kid like but and I didn't know why

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: because I didn't know who was Crook who was Chase

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: forever because I'd be like, I'm Crook, I'm Jason. I

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: should have known by that, but I didn't. But episode

Speaker 1: three sixty three, this is Crook and Chase, Lorianne Crook

00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,600

00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,440

00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Gary

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Owens used to hold his hand up like this, and

47
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: it acts as a little bit of a you still do, Yeah,

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: I do. When we're doing our radio show, I do this.

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: You hold your but to me, that's like someone in

50
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Iraq reporting in from like all right, I can hear

51
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: you chuck in this studio, like the whold. I would

52
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: do that when I did the NFL Draft because screaming

53
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: in my ear so I had to push the earpiece

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: in deeper so I could hear. I didn't know that

55
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: was an actual thing used for sound, right, It's just

56
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: it just projects what you're saying back in. Yeah, it's

57
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: like picking up a ceashell and hearing the ocean. Try

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: you can hear your voice better. Oh, I was just

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: entering my ear by shoving up speaker in there. I

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: literally thought, that's what I was, like, I can't hear you, guys,

61
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm shoving it in there, and don't you and don't

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: you see a lot of people don't realize that when

63
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: you're doing a live shot, like you're just talking about

64
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: You've got an ear piece in there, and you've got

65
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: all these people talking with you. You're trying to keep

66
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: your thought together and at the same time they're saying,

67
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: all right now, when you finished this, I want you.

68
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Who's going to tell you? Yeah, it's a weird. It's weird,

69
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not great. I'm okay, too, pretty good. I

70
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: have some friends that are great at it, Like they

71
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: can hear a whole three conversations while doing a live shot.

72
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Me again, I just tried to shove it into you

73
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: because I couldn't. And it turns out I just didn't.

74
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't process all the voices because it was out loud.

75
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: But the good thing about our job is we don't

76
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: really have to do at least I don't you guys

77
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: have to deal with anybody in your ear ever when

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: you're recording. Well, I mean we have, you know, producer,

79
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: owner ear usually, but this is where you know, you

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: separate the big boys from the bad producers. A good

81
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: producer knows when to talk to you, and that's not

82
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: when you're talking. There was a clip of Casey Kyson.

83
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever meet? Yes, he was on our show.

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: We did a cooking segment. He was a vegan and

85
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: he came on and made some kind of a soup

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: with spinach and dandelion greens and all sorts of things

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: that Charlie wouldn't eat. But it looked like the front

88
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: yard sticks and stones and yeah, he cooked all that.

89
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: You would need it. He wouldn't need it, you know,

90
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: isn't it? Isn't it a bit you didn't commit? What

91
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: do you do? You got on the front yard and graves?

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't give me a hamburger. It

93
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: was delicious. Did he talk like that in person? To like?

94
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: Not so much? It's more pronounced on his There was

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: a clip of him where he's recording something and he's

96
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: he may have heard it, but he's like, I don't

97
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: want to do another set song into a set. He's

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: just going out right about the dog to get a dog. Yes,

99
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I just wonder what clips of you two exists out

100
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: there that someone luckily threw away and they never got out.

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Employees are prevented. Okay. So whenever we were having a

102
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: hard time with the show, technical difficulties or something was

103
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: going on, um, the director would play as loud as

104
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: he could over the speak gers in my ear, wild

105
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: cherry play, that funky music. I would immediately dart out

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: of my chair and I'm dancing, and it just brought

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: the whole show. Now, I think they recorded that. I

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: think somebody has commie. I'm glad you have it. Here's

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: the clip of it now and up on screen and

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: rest sure she's taking medication for that nice Yeah, I

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: love it. Isn't there a song that just makes you

112
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: cannot sit stale? Bobby? That's an interesting question. A song

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: that I just love and you have to get up.

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: There's this wild cherry play, that funky music. Do you

115
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: have one the twist? Just because of the fast beat. Yeah,

116
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: it's unbelieved. That song was number one and number one

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: in sixty three, same version or the same song. And

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: this is how old we are. We have actually done

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: the twist with Chubby really, so he came there, came

120
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: on our show a couple of times. He was making

121
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: in Paris and Myrtle Beach. Remember we're doing the show

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: over there, and he showed up. He was doing a

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: one of the outlet, but he did Music City tonight.

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Because every time we saw him, we always ended up

125
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: doing the twist together. So much fun. I guess I

126
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: just I don't the years start to be cloudy to me.

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't consider you guys old enough to have been

128
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: with Chubby Checker. Not meaning you're old, but you're such

129
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: a part of my adolescents, teenage years, early twenties, because

130
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: I just associate all the weekends from hearing you guys

131
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: all over the country wherever I was. Bobby, you're older

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: than you think. Oh, I am right. I think we're

133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: getting for sure. Chubby was. Actually, and that's a very

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: interesting point you make. We were not like celebrating the

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: first iteration of the twist. We were celebrating what some

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty or thirtieth anniversary like that. That's much fairer than okay.

137
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: So it's coming back around as celebration of okay. That

138
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: makes me feel up, but even by myself. So you

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: got to be together forty years? Yes, coming up? We

140
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: started our forty year this month. Actually, anything for forty years,

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean I am forty two. Just I'm like, dang,

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: I've I'm doing pretty good just to be alive for

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: forty years, much less you guys, Wait a minute, you

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: were in diapers when we first started. I was, Yeah, too.

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: I guess you were on yourself. I still have no

146
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and when you're still doing it, yeah, no, beginning in

147
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: middle all of that. So forty years ago you in

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: what city did you guys actually start working together? Was

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: in Nashville? Yeah. So but when you say you're a

150
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, were you doing some kind of show down there? Yeah?

151
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: We we would take the show on the road occasionally

152
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: and the big production, you know, we go over there

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: for the summer. Had on theater over there, the Crook

154
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: and Chase Theater, and you had a theater and Myrtle

155
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: Beach we did that is awesome. Was did you guys

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: make so much money? No? Theater business is hard, but

157
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean just to have a theater named after you,

158
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: someone had to go okay? Or did you guys just

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: do it yourself? Well? Okay. The Gatlin has had at

160
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin brothers and my husband and

161
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I bought it from them. So Brett Eldridge is one

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: of my best friends, and we've often talked about whenever

163
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: we're done, maybe people decide we should be done now

164
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: or twenty years we'll just go get a theater in

165
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: Branson and I'll do stand up and he'll do music,

166
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: and that'll be how we die, not doing the actual show.

167
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: But that's like, that's like the end of the concept. Hey,

168
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: the concept over there is quite quite good because it

169
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: gives artists who are I don't want to say fed up,

170
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: but tired of traveling the world to perform. They stay

171
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: home and everybody comes to them. I think it's awesome.

172
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful format. I was reading a little bit

173
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: about you guys, because I didn't know, and you place

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, because the Internet is known

175
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: have been wrong once or twice. But you started in

176
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: television together before radio? Is that true? Or you want

177
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: a national television syndication before national radio syndication? Let me start.

178
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: I started radio in sixty six, but together together we started.

179
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: We did TV first and then radio evolved. Okay, so

180
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: I was right, But as far as as a team

181
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: now individually, Lorian, when did you start in radio? Not

182
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: until eighty nine. I started in television. Uh in, oh,

183
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: that's your your background, say, we're absolutely opposite. Charlie started

184
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: in radio and morphed into television. I started in television

185
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: and then he dragged me into radio. What were you

186
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: doing in TV? Like, what was your speciality? A reporter

187
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and anchor. I was a very terrible news reporter. Why

188
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: do you say terrible, because um, I am so. And

189
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: this probably frightens Charlie about me. I could not cover

190
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: murders and accidents and things that happened to babies that

191
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: were bad, and I would just stand there on a

192
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: live shot and cry. And Uh. Finally the new star

193
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: called me and said, you know, maybe you belong in entertainment.

194
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: So I started doing a show called Pan Magazine, which

195
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: was kind of a syndicated thing at the time. So

196
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: I was doing it in Texas, but the pieces I

197
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: was doing, we're seeing around the country and that's how

198
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: I got noticed to come back to Nashville. And so

199
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: you're doing radio since the sixties? What you said? Right?

200
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: And you started a small station, I'm assuming in a

201
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: small town like everybody did w r G S Rogersville.

202
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Did you come out of the womb with a great voice. No, No,

203
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: it's honestly my dad and my brother. My dad was

204
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: in the produce business. My brother was a California Highway

205
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: patrolman and military Air Force police notice or anything. And

206
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: myself I got and I'm the only one got in radio.

207
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: We all sounded like which is kind of weird. Um,

208
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: But no, the unusual story is I did have kind

209
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: of a low tone everything in my voice when I

210
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: was like twelve and thirteen years old. And when I

211
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: first called my wife Karen, her dad hung up on

212
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: me because I was on the radio at and he

213
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: thought I was in some twenty one year old pervert

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: trying to call his kid, you know. So finally Karen

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: and I walked home together one time and he I

216
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: was introduced to him, so we got over that. It

217
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: must be in the thousands where people have thought that

218
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: you two are married because you've been coming for so long.

219
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming that's even normal that people just

220
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: think you're because Amy and I my co host on

221
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: the radio show and we do account down on the

222
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: weekend too. Forever, they thought we were together just because

223
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: we were together doing something professionally. So that's happened with

224
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: you guys, I assume, Well, we have a stock answer

225
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: for that, don't we. And they asked if we've ever

226
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: considered dating one another? Okay, my stock answer is do

227
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: I look that stupid? I like that? And mine is

228
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: do I look that desperate? But we used that a

229
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: few times before, But now you want to hear something

230
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: really crazy about that. Years ago, at the height of

231
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: tenn Charlie and I were basically ambassadors to the world

232
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: for teen in in and from Nashville, and so People

233
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Magazine thought that they should come to Nashville and do

234
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: a story on us. Do you remember this? And so

235
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I forgot her name. This lady she was one of

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the famouite writers for It was very nice. Came to

237
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: each of our homes and interviewed us individually, and came

238
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: down to our studio on the row and introduced us

239
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: to you know, photographers, and had all this going on.

240
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: She came back. Did she come back to your house?

241
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: She came to my house again twice, and so she

242
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: don't I need to come back and ask follow up questions?

243
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: And basically she told us that Charlie and I were

244
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: so vanilla, that's the word she used, vanilla, that this

245
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: was not going to be an interesting People Magazine story.

246
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: And she was asking me, she goes, have you and

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Charlie ever had an affair or ever stepped out of

248
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: just something that we can put in here. I said, no, no,

249
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: they killed the story. They never did it after spending

250
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: days with us in Nashville. They killed the story because

251
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: we're vanilla and we didn't have controversy, we hadn't done

252
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: bad things. I can't believe they didn't just run it,

253
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: but maybe not take up as much of the page

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: to just kill it, because you did that. Guys have

255
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: such a voice, meaning not your literal physical voices, but

256
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: for country music. I mean, you introduced me to so

257
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: many artists on t NN because I used to watch

258
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: That's what even when I was on when the opera

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: was on, my grandmother and I would watch all the time, right,

260
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Not you guys so much then, because my grandmother didn't

261
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: much care for the new music, so she's kind of

262
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: tune it out when you guys are having it. But

263
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: you were the to me. You were how I learned

264
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: as a kid, other than kissing ninety six. It was

265
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: what country music artists look like. That's what I got

266
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: from you guys. First time I was a little big

267
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: town was you guys like saw them on the face

268
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: and I was I remember sitting on my couch and

269
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I think tornado had happened, and you guys were like

270
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: walking into a studio or something with them. I remember

271
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: watching the oh yeah, our studio got hit, and so

272
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: it was. I told them my credit YouTube for letting

273
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: me know they're better looking to me, and so I

274
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: never will let them off that. But I'm surprised with

275
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: you guys having such a voice that they cut that

276
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: story well. But we we did have a nice story.

277
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: And TV Guide remember that they were very I think

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: now it's just a digital space. Yeah, probably, And the

279
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: last time I saw it was like a larger publication

280
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: but used to be you know, but like yeah, likes

281
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: every Friday and Cable Ace Awards were nice to us.

282
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: We got what we want, entertainment news show over um

283
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: over what entertainment Tonight, over Larry King or something. It was.

284
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: It was wild. So we were, you know, yeah, and

285
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: right now, if I'm not mistaken, I think we are

286
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: the as far as a national I think as the

287
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: longest do that's what you're gonna say. I looked it

288
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: up to I tried it forty years. I looked for

289
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: anybody that's been together, and it can not find any Nash.

290
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: It's hard to find anybody at all the time. And

291
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: then when she left, when she quit and Kelly Ripper

292
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: came in then that kind of yeah, catapulted us beyond

293
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: them in years again. Right then we were often compared

294
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: to John Tesh and Mary Heart on Entertainment Tonight, So

295
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: we were the country version of that. You know, I

296
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: think they're the A C version of you, because you

297
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: guys are the real deal. You've been in and I

298
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: mean that as people. Where you live in the country

299
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: music world depended on you, and I can remember places

300
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: in my life where I was listening to you. Listen,

301
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: what do I know about John Tesh. I've heard them sometimes,

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: but I don't think people are going to go John

303
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: Tesh and Mary Heart Like I remember being in sixth

304
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: grade grade making out the first time to John Tesh.

305
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: That's I don't think that's happening anywhere if I'm being

306
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: on And also I didn't make on sixth grade. I

307
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,080

316
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: guess what. We don't have agents ever ever. No, we

317
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: actually talked to each other and work stuff out. But

318
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean with companies, right, you have to negotiate some

319
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: sort of like yeah, they contact us directly for things

320
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: like that, and we feel it's in our particular cases,

321
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: not for everybody, but in our particular case, we are

322
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: hands on. We're the ones going to make the decision

323
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: on that. We're the one to get the initial feel

324
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,120

00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: So the first time I ever played the operay, Kicks

357
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,040

358
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: came in. You know because at the operated door stay

359
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: open unless you're literally changing the door, stay open. It

360
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Kicks comes down, nicest guy, big, just hey, super when performed.

361
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: Still never met Ronnie, and I'm like, I never want

362
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: to meet Ronnie. They got prickly, you know, prickly and

363
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: prickly Ronnie. I'm just gonna meet Kicks and feel good

364
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: about it. And I'm I ran into Ronnie once. I

365
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: was doing some comedy for Reba at her her event

366
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: and DC the the Kennedy Center Honors. Yeah, and Ronnie

367
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: was in the audience and he's like, hey, what's up

368
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: because my wife watch you and dancing on Stars. And

369
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: I was like, cool, nice to meet you. I'm thinking

370
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the out prick. And then we did

371
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: some picture stuff together and he's like, well, you text

372
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: wet Ronnie's awesome. Did you tell him that you thought

373
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: he was prickly. I told him everybody all thought he

374
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: was prickly. Yeah, I just I'm telling him. I was

375
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: just like, people said we'd never be friends, and he said,

376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: they said the same thing about you, and I was like, well,

377
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what we do if we see

378
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Cold Swindell wearing our shirts? Ron to figure out some

379
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: My point was, Ronnie said him when him and Kicks

380
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: broke up, they had to decide who got the merch

381
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: and Kicks out all the march and he's like really,

382
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: He's like, it's all on Kicks his warehouse because we

383
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: had to split stuff up. Ronnie get the hot air

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: balloon or something did, and he puts it up in

385
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: his yard sometimes. Isn't that crazy? That's funny, That's right.

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: I love it, great memory. I want to go for

387
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: a ride. Yeah, just drive by and if you see

388
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: the Brooks and Dun balloon in someone's a yard. I

389
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: want to go over to Charlie's house and like drop

390
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: rotten tomatoes and stuff. You know. Okay, I've got touched

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: up on something here that's been bothering me. I don't

392
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: know what Nashville traffic. Okay, now, I think we said

393
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: over a couple of things. Hey, let's talk about this,

394
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: but I want to bring this up. Not a day

395
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: goes by that I'm behind somebody. The light turns green

396
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: and they sit there, and I love the way that

397
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: State Tennessee refers to it. They had their head in

398
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: their app okay, and they're not moving, And not a

399
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: day has gone by in the past two weeks. And

400
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm serious about this. I'm not lying. I've had to

401
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: the horn. As long as you're that's okay, right, because

402
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I think so if you do, that's that's coming out

403
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: with guns. No, no, no, no, it's just like, yep,

404
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: that's the mean. We had a discussion on what is

405
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: that if you pull out in front of somebody in

406
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: this town, which is just like a sport, if you

407
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: pull out in front of somebody accidentally or cut them

408
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: off accidentally or whatever, what is the proper wave to

409
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: let them know you're sorry? I got I just put

410
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: my hands in front of my face, like both hands,

411
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: you're driving, okay out And I suggested just a slight wave,

412
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: use all fingers, but just a slight wave that looks floppy,

413
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: looks like you're flopping a little. Yeah, I do. Sorry,

414
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, sorry, they don't see it, did you, guys?

415
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: Because you've been in Nashville for so long, have you

416
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: ever met Johnny Cash? Oh my god. I went shopping

417
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: for hair spray with Johnny Cash once. What's the story

418
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: that led to you going with him to get hair spray?

419
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: It was late at night. It was Kroger twenty four.

420
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I needed hair spray for whatever we were doing the

421
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: next day. And I ran in there and there was

422
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: the man in black standing in front of the what's

423
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: it called? The UK was something that he and Marty

424
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Stewart bought, aquad Finished or some there it is. Yeah,

425
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: So Johnny Cash and I are standing there just kind

426
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: of laughing and talking about which hair spray we're going

427
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: to get. There are so many things down packed. Johnny

428
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: Marty bought akway Net the brand. I think Marty might

429
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: still use it if it's around Wow. And then he

430
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: was just hanging it was was he recognizable? Yeah? Yeah,

431
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: that was back when nobody went to the store that

432
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: light at night except Johnny Cash and somebody who needs

433
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: hair spray late night. People like that, You're usually not bothered.

434
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: People are respectful of what they do. They realize this

435
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: is an entertainment center and see stars all the time.

436
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think starting to change a little

437
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: bit again for the worst. I think it depends where

438
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: where you go. If you go to a real touristy

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: place where people kind of don't know the rules, then

440
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: it gets a little ugly. So you're just gonna have

441
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: to pick your because I don't think it was. You

442
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: can tell me if I'm wrong. I don't think it

443
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: was as like a bachelor at touristy, not even years

444
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: and this the city has changed. It's grown, It's grown

445
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: really fast and because of the influx of people. Um,

446
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I like to I always like to say this has

447
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: small town charm, but it's a big city. Was a

448
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: small town charm, but it's changing. Yeah, is that your

449
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: only Johnny Cash experience? Oh you do have a lot.

450
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Oh here's on our show numerous times. Did you like him?

451
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Loved him? You know what surprised me a lot. He

452
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: he helped us actually do a surprise tribute show to

453
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: the Statler Brothers. You know, he helped get the Staller

454
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: Brothers started, and the Statlers didn't know Johnny was going

455
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: to be there, and um, Johnny was going to jump

456
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: in and sing with them and surprise them on some

457
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: gospel numbers and back stag. Well, I remember, I think

458
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: this actually happened, Charlie on the air. Backstage, Johnny Cash

459
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: was pacing back and forth, and he was sweating, and

460
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: even when he got on set with us, he still

461
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: had just some perspiration on his face, and I don't

462
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: know if I kind of wiped it off or whatever,

463
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: but he admitted that he was nervous. He was still

464
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: after all of his superstardom, his world travel, getting on

465
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: a set in front of cameras on live TV, especially

466
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: in this sort of a surprise situation, we're all by

467
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the seat of our pants. He admitted he was nervous.

468
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: It's wild that someone who had done so much still

469
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: felt like we feel sometimes. He was a funny guy though.

470
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: He was on the show one time and we have

471
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: a segment of audience questions where the crowd would actually

472
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: fill out questions and pass them to our producers and

473
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: they pick the one out and send it to us,

474
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: and one of them said, Mr Cash, you al was

475
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: wearing black. Do you wear black underwear? In his response

476
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: on camera, live on TV, was I don't wear underwear,

477
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: so now we know. I had Hank Jr. In a

478
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, and he was a handful. I mean,

479
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: he was a he was a handful, and I don't

480
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he's gotten He wanted

481
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: to smoke a cigar inside and we can't. We can't

482
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: do It's not my building. I don't make the rules.

483
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: And then so then he just wanted to get out,

484
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: and it was he was a handful, and it was

485
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: really cool to have him in. But was he a

486
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: handful back then? Oh? Yeah? But I mean he was

487
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: always very nice to me because I met him kind

488
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: of as a cup reporter early in my career, and

489
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: my first encounter was asking if I could go to

490
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: his home in Paris, Tennessee and do like a big

491
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: documentary with him. And so, uh, I don't know how

492
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: much of this I should tell. That means all, I

493
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: remember most of it. Some of it I'm not going

494
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: to tell, but I will say. So I got there

495
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: and I needed a place to touch up, and so

496
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: he sent me to his bedroom where there was still

497
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: a young lady there in the bed. Okay, I thought

498
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: you were going to delete that keep that no one

499
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: was surprised that. We were all like, okay, okay, that's fine, yeah, okay, fine.

500
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: So I go into the bathroom and the toilet seat

501
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: is that rolling stuff with that rolling stones, the tongue

502
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: thing is is the toilet seat And there are things

503
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: that I can't tell you about that sitting on the

504
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: stink um. But anyway, I was just I felt like,

505
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, what have I gotten myself into. This

506
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: was the beginning of the day with him. But I

507
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: have to tell you he was the nicest guy. He

508
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: took me out, he had a little canoe, he taught

509
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: me how to fish on his pond. We had just

510
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: the greatest talk about his life and how at one

511
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: point he just wanted to die. And we had such

512
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: a great time that he then later on invited me

513
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: out to uh Montana where he had a place out there,

514
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: and UH got some more great footage out there. So

515
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: he and I became really good friends. He what wrote

516
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: me a note one time, uh which was very dear

517
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: to my heart, because he said most reporters came and

518
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: just tried to get trash on him. And he signed

519
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: a picture for me that said, dear Lorianne, thank you

520
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: for making me look good. I love your friend. That's awesome.

521
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: And he was nice with us, but he just wanted

522
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: to get out. He was a handful, like all right,

523
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: let's go to no patience And had you said you

524
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: went to his house and it was pristine and it

525
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: was clean, and there was only the Bible. I mean, like,

526
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: that's not that's not the hak I know, that's not

527
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: the that's not the hang On brand. But that's funny.

528
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: He had the rolling stone toilet and I want to

529
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: go one of those now, the big tongue. Yeah, I

530
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: didn't use the bathroom all day. Yeah, I would have

531
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: probably had to try to go there though. And that

532
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: one's just because that's where it was. What about an

533
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: early young Garth? What was a young Garth like? So

534
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: don't you when we first met him, we had not

535
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: seen him on stage and this guy walked out on

536
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: our set. We had, you know, kind of a live

537
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: situation where we sort of met people briefly backstage. I'm

538
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: not even sure we got his name right where we

539
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: call him Garp or Garth. We've never heard it right,

540
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: We've never heard Garth before. I could not believe how

541
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: soft spoken, very gentlemanly. I mean we're about the same age.

542
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: But he called me ma'am. And I thought to myself,

543
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know, Charlie, if you and I had

544
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: a conversation about this or not. I thought, how is

545
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: this guy ever got to make it in music? He's

546
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: not outgoing enough. Little did we know that he's a

547
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: maniac on stage? Yeah? Whoa? Was he super kind? Was

548
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: his reputation? Because now it is. And I've been lucky

549
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: enough to get to know him on a personal level

550
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. Do things professional with him? Was he

551
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: super kind then? Too? Always? Always? And um? I recall

552
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: one time he was doing Music City Tonight with us

553
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: on t N and and I had some friends in

554
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: from my hometown of Rogersville, Uh, Mavis Mall and she

555
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: was kind of like my second mom up there and

556
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: she was backstage. And after the show, Garth's on his

557
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: way out and he spots her and he sort of

558
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: figured he put two and two together and said, are

559
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: you Mall? And she said, well, yes I am. And

560
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: he took his hat off and shook his shook her

561
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: hand and said all sorts of pleasant things, And that

562
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: was the biggest thrill in the world for her. And

563
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, when Garth first started out, he signed with

564
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: Capital and Jimmy Bowen, who was the guy who headed

565
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: up the label at that point, was one who signed him.

566
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: And I'm playing golf with Bowen and this is about

567
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: the time Garth is really starting to explode. And Jimmy

568
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: just kind of laughed when he was telling the story

569
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: about Garth. He said, I said, well, how Garth do

570
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: last year? And how's he gonna do this year? He

571
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: said he went from making dollars a year doing the clubs,

572
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: and then he mentioned some astronomical number like seven figures overnight.

573
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: And the thing is that Garthur is genuine. He's very sincere,

574
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: he's kind. All that you see, that's him. But he's

575
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: no pushover either. No. No, I've done a couple of

576
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: business things with him where we did some specials together

577
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: and partnered our two companies. And he knows what he wants,

578
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: he knows how he wants it to be and how

579
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't want it to be. And um, he respected

580
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: my opinions. But he's very professional to work with. But

581
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because you would think that, oh, maybe

582
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: he's so soft spoken that people could take advantage of him. No,

583
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: he's very very smart. You know, the one thing I've

584
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: always wondered about these megatours that he's on. You know,

585
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: it was finished up in fishing up in Ireland and

586
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: all the stadium tour is and everything. How hands on

587
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: is he on a daily basis on something that gigantic.

588
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some lieutenants, you know. But but knowing Garth,

589
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: he's on everything that's going on. I think Sincere is

590
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: I've always searched for that perfect word. I mean, he's

591
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: so sincere, so so so sincere all the time that

592
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: you start to go, wait, is this real? But then

593
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: after he spent even more time with him, like yeah,

594
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: it's real, because he's never not. But he's also told

595
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: me he's there's three guards. There's Gartha businessman, There's Garth

596
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: the entertainer, There's Garth the person, and they all are

597
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: very different. And so Gartha businessman, I don't know that

598
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: I want to get mixed up with anyway. We're on

599
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: against him. Gartha person. Awesome, you know we were. I

600
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: love to hear those stories because Garth had called and said, hey,

601
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: come open up. I played razorback stadiums like seventy five people.

602
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: He said, come open up. Um, we'd love to have

603
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: you performed before I come on, he said to me.

604
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, that's a little weird about it,

605
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: but I said, okay, we'd love to because I'm in

606
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: a comedy music group and we played big shows, but

607
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: not like that where it's also maybe I don't know

608
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: who we are. People come to a theater and watch this,

609
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: but seventy people who don't know what's going on. They're

610
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: like these guys like the Weirdo Wiggles or something. You know.

611
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: That's what we thought. The guards like, you gotta come

612
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: to us. So we go and we show up and

613
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Garth is there at sound check and it's like, hey man,

614
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you for a second. And I

615
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: was like, what's up? And he said, you can have

616
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: the whole stage. It's a whole round, and most headliners

617
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: don't allow the opener to have the whole stage, especially

618
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: one around. And then he goes, play as long as

619
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: you want, and I was like, wait, you don't want that.

620
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: He goes, how long is you're supposed to play? US

621
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: aid thirty five, he goes fifty sixty, She goes to

622
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: go over sixty. I'm coming out, he goes, she goes,

623
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I'll stop you. But we only have six songs, so

624
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: just awesome. What about Taylor Taylor Swift? Oh my god,

625
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: remember the first time we've got to see we've got

626
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: the audio is there somewhere. Well, let me just jump

627
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: in here real fast, because we got a phone call

628
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: from our friend. And I don't think it was Scott

629
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: Burschetta himself. That's some assistant just with just just a

630
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: few doors down from us. And of course everything I'm

631
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: music grow every your doors are locked for obvious reasons.

632
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: And they said, in a few minutes, your doorbell at

633
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: your studio was going to ring. Just open the door. Yeah,

634
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: So we went down there and opened the door and

635
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: it was this beautiful blonde young lady with a guitar.

636
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: Thinks she was fourteen, and she wandered up and we

637
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: let her in. Yeah, she wandered up in the studio

638
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: based on that phone call, okay, and just as sweet

639
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: as she can be. And we we said, we talked

640
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: about her being in high school at this point writing

641
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: some songs, and she said, I've just written a couple

642
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: of songs. I'd love to play him for you. Sure,

643
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: So she reached it down and brings up her guitar

644
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: and fires up what became I guess her first two

645
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: number ones tim and tear drops on my rush on

646
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: my guitar. She performed both right there, just because she's

647
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: in tears. I was sitting there crying this girl, fourteen

648
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: year old girl I had just met, because what she

649
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: was thinking about reminded me of being in June. You're

650
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: high and having a first love or whatever. She had

651
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: me in tears the first time we met. Pretty cool.

652
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's an awesome story to have, and that

653
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: you let her in. I don't think I'm letting anybody

654
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: in a musical knocking on the door, even if somebody

655
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: says let him in. I'm like, I mean, well, listen,

656
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: that was gosh, I mean years ago, was that? I

657
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: mean things have changed a little bit more since then,

658
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, we that was based on people that

659
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: we know and work with, business knowledge. Why not lorian

660
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: and Charlie? Is that a crooking chase? Like? What was

661
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: that conversation? I don't think we ever considered Lorianne and

662
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: Ring to it. It does the literations good. You just

663
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: don't know who's who. Just by the last names. I'd

664
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: be like, which one I know because I know you too,

665
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: But if I just were hearing you on the radio,

666
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: Crooked and Chase, they both could be either. Yeah. Well,

667
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: And the reason it isn't Chasing Crook it's because think

668
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: about it, if you say it fast enough, chasing Crook,

669
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like a cop show, something chasing like chasing. Yeah.

670
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: So it was Crook and Chase and uh, and I

671
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: don't know what were we compying some other show that

672
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: had last names at that time, or maybe we were

673
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: trying to be different, would be different Crook and Chase.

674
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: I saw you got another cm A nomination. Yes, thank you,

675
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: even forty years later. And likewise, sir, oh listen, I

676
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: don't get to do what I do if you guys

677
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: don't do what you do for many, many years. So

678
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: it's like, I know that I get to be on

679
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: the shoulders of the grades, but it's you know, Tim

680

Speaker 1: McGraw as an example, or Kenney, Chesney, even Garth to

681
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: be able to do something at a high level for

682
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: so long, because this is not the c m as

683
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: of people who used to be awesome. This is the

684
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: people who are awesome right now. And you're nominated, You're

685
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: you're nominated again. Now I would just think that it's

686
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: like still so cool to everything when it comes out,

687
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: you're just there again. Well can I tell you why

688
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: it's so cool? And you're just gonna think that we

689
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: are such idiots? For how long, Charlie did we not

690
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: submit to be considered for broadcast awards because we didn't

691
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: know you were supposed to. We just thought there's this

692
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, large body, how many six seven six, I

693
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: guess thousand people in the c m A And we

694
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: just thought that they all voted and just maybe they

695
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't think we were very good, and we were probably

696
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: like how many, like ten years into our radio career

697
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: before somebody said, I guess we went to c m

698
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: A party or something and somebody said, how can you

699
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: guys never submit? You know, you're great on the radio,

700
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: supposed to do that, and we had no agents there

701
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: you go, You would think you guys would have so

702
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: many more. We we did not know that we were

703
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: supposed to do that, and we felt funny. Even now

704
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: we kind of feel funny, and so we try to

705
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: have people that work with us. Well, you write this

706
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: about you know, you tell us what we should submit.

707
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: We can't brag on ourselves. Really, well, I can brag

708
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: on you be doing the whole show. Well you're kind

709
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: to say that, but seriously, if we sit out and

710
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: we'll we'll con confer about this. That's a little bit.

711
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: It's a little bit too self centered, you know, and

712
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I don't like. Yeah, but Thursdays, darned, Charlie.

713
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: You have to know. Yeah, I tell him. I tell

714
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: him I don't want to see it because it makes

715
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable. But make it as self centered as possible.

716
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to know, but I make it. So.

717
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: I saw that you guys did on that Shania Netflix documentary.

718
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: You know you were in it from back back. I

719
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: don't know how long. Okay, So what was Shania like

720
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: when she came to town? Oh? She was. She was

721
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 1: a regular on our Music City Tonight show. To begin with,

722

Speaker 1: I think what was the first single or no, wait

723
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, even before

00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: regular performer on Music City Tonight, where she would do

729

Speaker 1: you know what's so funny prior to meeting Mutt that

761
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: that was just a big turn in her life. And

762
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: she would even tell you that, but she would be

763
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: talking to us backstage, and I thought it was so interesting.

764
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: She goes, I just don't even know if I if

765
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: I fit in this town. You know, there were writing

766
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: appointments and you had to be a certain place at

767
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: a certain time and write with this person and that person.

768
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: And she goes, I'm like, I'm a little loose for this,

769
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: she has to be inspired. I think that's why she

770
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: and Mutt clicked because he allowed her too. And I

771
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: guess what Mutt does. He allows people to be the

772
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: artist that they want to be. But he's so private.

773
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: I remember she disappeared from Music City Tonight for several

774
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: weeks and when she came back, she was married and

775
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: she brought a picture of her wedding but it was

776
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: cut in half. Prophetic maybe, but Mutt wasn't in it.

777
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: I was like, well, wait a minute, where's your husband,

778
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: because I didn't know who Mutt lying was at the time,

779
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, well, he's really private and I

780
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: can't show his picture around. But she wanted us to

781
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: see her in her wedding dress on her wedding day.

782
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: But it was I don't think she was with our

783
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: show more than a few months after that because she

784
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: and much just I get one of my pictures, told

785
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: her to insert it right there, and she cut you

786
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah, an individual answer from both of you,

787
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: and Lorien, I'll start with you. If I say you

788
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: know you're gonna interview this person, it's gonna be a

789
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: great interview because they just are great on the microphone.

790
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Who's a great interview? There are so many, but you

791
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: gotta give me one who's bad. I'm not saying it's

792
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: bad because okay, I will tell you mine to give

793
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: you thoughts on this. I know and again, much like you,

794
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: guys have been fortunate enough to forge relationships with certain

795
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: people in this town to some of them happen to

796
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: be artists. And one of my friends is Jake Owen,

797
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: who I know he's going to nail it on air

798
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: because he just has something. He's all. He comes in prepared.

799
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: He will go wherever I take or I'll let him

800
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: take me somewhere. We just have that relationship where I

801
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: know Jake is coming in it's going to be a

802
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: killer interview regardless. So if I were to put that

803
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: on you Lorian classic artist or current does let's go

804
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: classic classic you can do each if you want. We

805
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: can do the categories well okay, okay. Barbara Mandrell flat out,

806
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: we'll tell you the truth about anything. I love that.

807
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: And Reba, she and Reba. Yeah, Reba's awesome. She'll just

808
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: she was always like that. Yeah, because I don't know

809
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: if it's Reban now because she's Reba, because she will

810
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: just say it. I'll take that back. And when I

811
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: first interviewed her in three, I believe it was she

812
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: was still trying to get a feel. Yeah, the field

813
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: of the vine's a little timid at first. I guess

814
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: that's a good word. But boy, now she'll tell you whatever.

815
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: You love it, Yes, I love it. She'd be up

816
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: there too, as far as I just don't get to

817
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: interview her as much anymore. Um, because she's rebound. She

818
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: does whatever she wants. And but okay, so we're gonna

819
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: do Barbara Mandreau and then who would be current? Current are?

820
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: Oh god, Charlie. Who do we break into giggles about

821
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: so many? I will tell you, brothers Osborne, brothers Osborne.

822
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, we just start off the rails and

823
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: we never get back on, and we just laugh a lot.

824
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: I love that. Good guys, good guys. Al Dean is funny.

825
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Al Deane is a man. Well, it's because Charlie and

826
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: al Dean are naughty little boys, and when they get together,

827
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: I cannot, I can't keep it together on the show. Well,

828
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: we start out and giving him some crap to begin with,

829
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: and then it slowly just talking about tongue toilet, seats

830
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: and then you you're rolling sound toilets were not not

831
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: exactly that. But I'll tell you I like Trisia your wood.

832
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: She goes back to what you were saying in a

833
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: moment ago. You bring it, just throw it out there.

834
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: She'll go with you wherever you want to go. She's

835
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: so funny. And Justin Moore, I just did an interview

836
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: with him. He's on his mind, he's out of his mind.

837
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's another Arkansas boy. So you just tell

838
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: me the other day, uh, you know, we're a woman

839
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: your love of course a big hit song and all that,

840
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: and he's talking about I said, well, what have you

841
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: had to do? What consessions have you had to make?

842
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: You will I've learned? He said, you know, I don't

843
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: like cats. And she brought home a damn cat and

844
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: I love that cat. It sleeps into bed. The cat

845
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: sleeps in the bed with me. And he just just

846
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: turned and walked away. And he's a good guy. So

847
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: you guys were inducted into the Country's a Call of

848
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: Fame radio. Yeah, that's awesome. So when you get that call,

849
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: how long was that? Okay? So that's I mean, that's

850
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: you just have I didn't know which acclam bounce with

851
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: you guys, I don't know which act like to focus on,

852
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: But I just like to talk to you guys, but

853
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: also want to share with our younger because we get

854
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: about a million people in the episode listen to this thing,

855
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: and so maybe some of our younger audience they're only

856
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: listening to stuff like streaming music and podcasts, and so

857
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to really focus on a

858
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: couple of the but there's so many I didn't know

859
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: what to focus on. So we've spent some of this time.

860
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: We could do a whole podcast on just all the

861
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: cool things you guys have done. And that's one of

862
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: them in the country music the Country Radio Hall of Fame.

863
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: And so when you who calls and tells you that

864
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: or what's that? Yeah? Well Bill called me yeah, and

865
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: he basically I was at my desk and I picked

866
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: up the phone and uh, Bill Main and uh. He

867
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: asked me what I was doing on a certain date.

868
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: And usually that means people want you to come and

869
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: present or be on the board or whatever. And so

870
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: I was a little cautious because I don't want to

871
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: immediately commit to something that I don't know about him

872
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: my crazy schedule, and so I was kind of like, well,

873
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: what's the day. What are we talking about? And he says,

874
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: because you are going to be inducted into the Country

875
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: Radio Hall of Fame. And I swear to you I'm

876
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna back up all he heard over there. I swear

877
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: I screamed that loud for about five minutes. I watched

878
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: a horror movie last night. It sounded just like uh

879
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: oh No. Bill called me as well, and he just said, uh,

880
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: you know he I knew who he was. I didn't

881
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: know why he was calling, though, because he's the country

882
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: radio broadcaster at CRB, and I figured, hey, wants us

883
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: to do something. He said, well, you're going down the

884
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I said, are you sure? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

885
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: And I was very pleased to hear that. Charlie, Well,

886
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do what you did, but I

887
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: did something similar. I got, I got off the phone

888
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: and did okay, And no one. I don't think anyone

889
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: is more deserving than you, guys, but allow me to

890
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: be slightly offended that you weren't in years your years

891
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: earlier than that. I'm gonna be honest with you because

892
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: we don't see but that's about we hit on before.

893
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: We are so crazy. We are just so focused on

894
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: the next show and doing the next thing. We we

895
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: don't sit around and and and I guess we should,

896
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: but we don't figure out what award we want or um.

897
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you get voted on are

898
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: nominated for these things. So I think maybe that's just

899
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: one of our weaknesses as as people in the business,

900
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 1: is that we we just have to get more self

901
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: promotion oriented some more people know about Probably our focus

902
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: has always been on day to day. On eBay, right now,

903
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: you can get a Crook and Chase Country Gold trading

904
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: card autographed. No, how much do you think that card

905
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: goes for cents? Well, you'll be shot? Could you've been

906
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: making three dollars and ten cents if one of those

907
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: non autographed? Though? If your autograph at least three d

908
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: is there a make an offer on there? Um by

909
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: it now? Yeah, we will sell it to you for

910
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: two dollars. Okay, you know what you got it. So

911
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: but Charlie, you know you have the go tee now

912
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: kind of the beard into the gotee just the must

913
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: When did when did you make the decision to go

914
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: from the single Mustache two more five years ago. I

915
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: have no idea why. I do recall when I first

916
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: started growing this beard and Charlie Daniels was coming by.

917
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: The late Charlie Daniels was coming by a studio and

918
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: he walked and he looked at me, said, I've been

919
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: growing up. I guess about a month. He said, are

920
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: you growing a beard? Yeah? He said, it's going to

921
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: be what going by. I became popular. Thomas grew a beard. Yeah,

922
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: And then everybody started growing a beard during the pandemic

923
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: and I kept it. So I started, this is a

924
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: pre pandemic beard. But yeah, I thought I'd tried, who's

925
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: your favorite artist of all time? Led Zeppelin? Mm hmmm.

926
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going to base this on just experience

927
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: and go into the shows and my youth and everything else.

928
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: The Rolling Stones, I know, tolet SA you could get

929
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: I know I do. I do have the shirt autographed

930
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: by Mick Jaggers. Thank you very much. Yes. As a

931
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we saw the Stones. Karen and I

932
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: and my wife Karen and I saw the Rolling Stones

933
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: in Knoxville in nineteen seventy two, and there was the

934
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: tumbling dice to her, I guess it was yeah, and

935
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: we looked up and we didn't know this. It wasn't advertised.

936
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: But here comes the opening act. It was Stevie Wonder.

937
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: So here's Stevie Wonder coming on with the Sweet Inspirations

938
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: his backup group. One of the Sweet Inspirations was his

939
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: sister was in the group and they were doing a

940
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: condoline that's how they got him from one place to another,

941
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, on stage. And then the Stones came out

942
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: and that was when they were comparing the loudness of

943
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone concert to standing behind a jet engine. That

944
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: was a big deal back then. And we saw that

945
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: the tickets were six dollars and fifty cents. You can

946
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: get two trading cards for that price. Make an offer.

947
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. Do you want to do you

948
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: want to hear my pathetic led Zeppelin story? I was

949
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: to ask? So, first of all, they were the reason

950
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: that in high school I was grounded for an entire

951
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: summer because they came to Birmingham, Alabama, and my boyfriend

952
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: and I, without telling my parents, we went to see

953
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: at that point and I didn't get home till one

954
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: or two in the morning, so I got grounded. The

955
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: whole summer fast forward to I don't know when did

956
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: Robert Plant start working with Alison Krause. This is how

957
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: much I love Robert Plant. I had the opportunity in

958
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: a little hole way to meet him and shake his

959
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: hand like Charlie did. And I got about as far

960
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: to him as you are to me, Bobby, and I

961
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: turned around and ran out of the building, ran to

962
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: the elevator. I love this man and his artistry and

963
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: his voice so much. I did not have the guts

964
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: to meet him, and I still haven't. I chatted him up. Really,

965
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: what can I go back? I'm going to go back.

966
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: I need to amend my insurgence a little bit. There

967
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: are two number one artists for me. I mentioned the

968
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: Stones and the Beatles. Do you ever see him? Uh?

969
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: I see to him, saw McCartney. I never saw him

970
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: as a group. McCartney and Ringo. I saw Ringo down

971
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: at the Rhyman recently with his all star band. He

972
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: was incredibly good buying hair spray. You know, I don't know.

973
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: This man just turned eighty years old and he was

974
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah he's eighty. Yeah, let me

975
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: ask you. And we're getting close to into this. We

976
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: almost an hour with you, guys. I'm just I'm just

977
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: grateful for your time. Were you worried about going up

978
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: to Robert Plant the whole time or did it just

979
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 1: hit you like I need to go? Like what because

980
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: you're going up to him? Can you walk me through that? Well?

981
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: The only reason I was going toward him was because

982
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: he and Allison were leaving the studio where they were working,

983
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: and I had Charlie and I had to walk toward

984
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: them and buy them to get to the studio where

985
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: we were working. And I just I don't even know

986
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: what I'm afraid of. I think I would just probably

987
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: act like an idiot or I just start crying. I

988
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: love you. I just didn't want to be an idiot.

989
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: It was part of it that you didn't want him

990
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: to not be nice, so you didn't want to have

991
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: to love him less. Maybe maybe I've made those decisions. Yeah, yeah,

992
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: where it's like, I'm such a big fan, I just

993
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: don't even want to risk not loving your arts. If

994
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: that happens, you could we can use anybody's singer, and

995
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: we use anybody as anyone. Go up to Plant and

996
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: go hold on love and play some wild cherry and

997
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: I'll dance. I'll be your dancer. Let me say to

998
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: you too. I I've been looking forward to this for

999
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks when I saw pop up on my

1000
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: calendar because I told my god, we have like a

1001
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: dream list of people that we want personally, and you

1002
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 1: know we could really I mean, people come by, urban

1003
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: cup drives up, comes over, and everybody comes by. But

1004
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: when it was like our dream list, it's people that

1005
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: personally like have mattered to us, I said, man, I

1006
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: would love to get you too, and it popped up.

1007
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: He didn't tell me, he just popped from my calendar

1008
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: and I screenshot it and sent it back and I

1009
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: said him with it with a fist emoji, going, that's awesome.

1010
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: You didn't go. I did not. I did not. I'm disappointed.

1011
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: But when you guys walked in, instead of going up

1012
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: and saying hello, almost ran away, but I kept myself.

1013
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: I sat here and I'm glad I did. And then

1014
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: he went, because you're awesome. The congratulations on not just

1015
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: an excellent career, but the sustain success like they're completely independent.

1016
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: Congratulations on such a noteworthy and even to someone as

1017
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 1: a fan myself, it has impacted me in many ways.

1018
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: So it just selfishly personally, I say thank you, but

1019
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: also it's like you've sustained it where you're still relevant

1020
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: after forty years together, and that itself is just hopefully

1021
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: to you guys, like a treasure that you're able to

1022
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: stay together and keep doing it. It's a lot of fun.

1023
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: We we consider ourselves family, we're close friends. We've been

1024
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: through a lot together as friends and business partners and things,

1025
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 1: and it's, uh, it's good and it's by the grace

1026
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: of God. Yeah, let's just say it. You know, it's

1027
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: one of those things you can't plan it, and uh,

1028
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: if it happens this way, it's it's a god thing.
