1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about being some outlaws, me and you, this

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: is some outlaw.

3
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Welcome to episode five point fifty with Aaron Watson. A

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: couple things. You can go to Aaron Watson dot com

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: and he's doing well his shows that he still has

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: left on his tour, but also an Aaron Watson Family

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Christmas tour, which we do talk about later on. I

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: think the reason it was fun to get Aaron on

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: as we got into a pretty big fight.

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it.

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: It like eight years ago, and it wasn't even a

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: real fight because to me, everything's wrestling and a lot

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: of feuds, even when I do them, are for promotional reasons.

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: But no, we get into it and I thought that

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: was good.

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: I like Aaron.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: I think he's been killing it on social media. Think

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: about Aaron. He is a major name in like Texas

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: or Red Dirt or just general country music, but he's

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: built his career independently without relying on a major label,

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: and that's a big part of who he is, a

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: big part of his musical identity, and we talk about that.

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: So I enjoyed this.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy it.

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: It's Aaron Watson on Instagram at Aaron Watson music and

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: Here he Is, Episode five point fifty. Aaron Watson, Aaron.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: Good to see buddy. Hey, it's good to be here.

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Where do we start? We got like three places. I thought,

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: where should we start? Where do you want to start?

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start? We've got a little history.

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of our anniversary.

32
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: I think that'd be good to do.

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all right. Hey, happy anniversary, brother.

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: Is it our anniversary? I think so?

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: So.

37
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: I think what would be interesting for me is if

38
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: we told both versions, yes of whatever story ended us

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: in a place where we were temporarily unhealthy with each other.

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

41
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is when you think about it, you

42
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: know how like as time moves on, the story gets better,

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Like ten years later, this could be good. You go first, Okay,

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: so golly, this has been ten years ago, which is wild.

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: So we had this album come out in twenty eleven

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: called Real Good Time. I was in a great place

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: with had a wife. I still have my had a wife.

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: This is not this is going to get me in

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: trouble right off the bat. But my wife and I

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: we had Jake, Jack and Jolie. You know they're like ages,

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, five, four and three. We had them

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: back to back to back and Real Good Time comes out,

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: and I remember I got a call and they were like,

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: you're not going to believe this, but your album charted

55
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: top ten on Country Billboard. And for me, I was

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: an independent artist. I wasn't looking for anything beyond that.

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I was just really happy where I was at. But

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: I got to thinking, well, what if, what if we

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: What if I got a real producer, and what if

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: we instead of just like making a record and just

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: throwing it out there, there was some strategy involved. So

62
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I got in touch with Keith Stegall, which you know,

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: legendary producer did all Alan Jackson stuff, and we worked

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: on this album called The Underdog. And so we finished

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: The Underdog album and then we held onto it for

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe like nine months and tried to work strategy. And

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: the album came out and it became a number one

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: and which was huge for us, you know, And I

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: don't think really back then, I really understood that was

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: quite the feat because things are much different now. I

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: don't think people really pay a lot of attention to

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: some of that stuff. But it was the first independent

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: album to chart number one for a guy, and I

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: was super excited about that, and we were trying to

75
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: get a song to radio. We had a song called

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: that Look that I still feel I could just be

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: a hit today, And so we're trying to convince.

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: It was the crs.

79
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I think we're trying to like we're meeting with all

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: of these program directors trying to convince them to play us.

81
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I feel like back then, independent

82
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: artists weren't as celebrated maybe as they are now.

83
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: I kind of felt like I was looked at like

84
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 4: a bad guy.

85
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: And I think, at the end of the day, you know,

86
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: my career, it's like it's no different than if I

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: had a lawn care business.

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: It was just the family business.

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Like literally, when I'm working, I'm thinking about one thing.

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: There's a certain number I need to make a month

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: so that I can take care of all my guys

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: in the band and all the employees because they depend

93
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: on me for that.

94
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: So there's always that goal.

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, there is always

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: that on me, like I have to take care of

97
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: my boys. And so I felt like we were here

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: battling for for the you know, going to war for

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: the business, the family business, you know, trying to.

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: Say, hey, we're not these outlaw.

101
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Texas artists, you know, and then I ended up breaking

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: into your place basically, so well, but we'll get to that,

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, which kind of makes me go, Okay, maybe

104
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I was a little more more of that than what

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I thought.

106
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: But I will, dude, I will never forget.

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: I know the exact time and place where I got

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: I guess tagged on It was Facebook.

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: It was Facebook. It was a Facebook post.

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: But Keith Stegall, we were at dinner kind of celebrating

111
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: the number one, and we were literally talking about how,

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: like I think we can do we can get mainstream

113
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: Rader to jump on this stuff. We could hire a

114
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: radio team, we can do this, you know. At that point,

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe a label would even want a

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: part of this. And it was either me or Keith

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: somehow got and it's been too long ago, but I

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: read I can't remember in my mind. It's like a

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: seven paragraph thing. I have it somewhere on a computer

120
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: and it was well written.

121
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: What was written.

122
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: What I can remember is it was nothing really against me.

123
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: It was I think I probably should have read that

124
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and been more prepared when I came in here. But

125
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: I think what you were kind of getting at was

126
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: where music was at that time.

127
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Did I actually write something?

128
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: Oh?

129
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, got it? And did I write it about you?

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

131
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: Got it.

132
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: As you can tell, I'm not prepared to e okay,

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: because my version of this is way different because yours

134
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: actually has like a story behind it, and I a

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: reason mind was just I was just running hot.

136
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: But go ahead.

137
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: So at the end of your seven paragraph thing, I'll

138
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: text it to you when I got it somewhere.

139
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: I probably don't want to cringe.

140
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: Well, well, at the end of it, it said something

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: like I like Aaron but just because he has a

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: number one album doesn't mean that he belongs on mainstream radio.

143
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: That is what made me go, dude, we gotta go

144
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: see that guy.

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: So Keith contacted someone and I started running hot too.

146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't run as hot as I used to.

147
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm running currently. I can't.

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 4: Here's how unhot I am at the moment. I can't.

149
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: It hurts to shake with my right hand because my

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: eighteen year old boy did some jiu jitsu.

151
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: Thing on me, and now I'm I'm wounded.

152
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: I am a I'm and he actually laughed at me

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, Dad, did I hurt your little

154
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: money maker? I run so unhot now that I just

155
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: retreated from that smart Alec comment. So what I remember

156
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: is Keith reached out to somebody that maybe worked for

157
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you and they he was like, man, they don't have time.

158
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: And I was like, well, tell him they have time.

159
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: He just with this long paragraph I'm trying to get

160
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,119
Speaker 1: mainstream radio to play me, and literally the biggest DJ

161
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: in all of country music said like, I don't deserve

162
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: to be played. So for me, it was more like

163
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: I didn't want to fight you. I wanted to be like, dude,

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: listen to this album. We slaved over this thing, like

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: this is a competitive mainstream country album and it's and

166
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: my thing is it was Texas music. And that was

167
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: my big argument ten years ago to every label. I said,

168
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Texas music is a great version of country music and

169
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: there are artists and I said it back then. I said,

170
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: there's this kid named Cody Johnson that's gonna blow y'all's

171
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: minds and there's a whole bunch of him back in Texas,

172
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: and you know, and that just wasn't the vibe, and

173
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: as I've gotten older, I understand that its phases and

174
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: stages and stuff.

175
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: Like that, But so I don't remember.

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't I can't accurately say exactly what it was,

177
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: but I think maybe someone that worked for you said

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: we don't have time to meet with him, and then

179
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe three or four glasses of wine later, I was like,

180
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: you know what I ought to do. I ought to

181
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: show up at his place tomorrow because my thought was this.

182
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: You hear the legendary stories about Chris Christofferson, like renting

183
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: a helicopter and flying into Johnny Cash's compound, and basically

184
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I based my.

185
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: Whole attack on that, and it was pretty funny.

186
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: But so before you, I remember, I remember waking up

187
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: early in the morning, and I don't know if it

188
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: was five thirty or six in the morning, but I

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: remember the doors were locked, and I'm sitting I'm on

190
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I know exactly where I was at. You walk up

191
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: the steps and I'm on the right side. This little

192
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: lady walks up and I guess she had the code

193
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: because she opens the.

194
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: Door and as the door is the door is shutting. Dude.

195
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: I gave the oh whoop, and I caught the door

196
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: before it closed.

197
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 4: Dude.

198
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: So I'm mosy in like I'm fixing to rob a bank,

199
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: and I go sit down, and I think I was

200
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: thinking about, like, so you have a wife and three

201
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: kids and this is your career.

202
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: My mom always my mom.

203
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I have the sweetest mom and dad, and she's like,

204
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: take a moment and think about the decisions you're fixing

205
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: the make. And what's so bad is I've told my mom,

206
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh I did. I thought about it. I knew it

207
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: was a bad decision, and MoMA just did it anyways,

208
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: But I remember, so I remember that.

209
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: I think I built up the courage.

210
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: At some point after I snuck into your place to

211
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: ask to speak to you.

212
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: I remember.

213
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: I think it was your producer, Elena.

214
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: Elena, and.

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: She I can't remember, but I think she basically told

216
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: me it was very unprofessional to just show up unannounced,

217
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: and I probably was like, yeah, well, I'm not professional.

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I probably popped off and said some smart alec thing,

219
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: because if you know me.

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: That's that's that.

221
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: I've gotten a few butt kickens over my through the

222
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: years because of my mouth. But what set her off?

223
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: I said, will you tell Bobby that I will sit

224
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: down here? In this lobby all day long until he

225
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: has time for immediately shake his hand and give him

226
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: this album. I says, if he has time to write

227
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: that Facebook post, he has time to shake my hand.

228
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: And she said, well, something, something, something, and I popped

229
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: off of pop popped off at her and she said something.

230
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: Then I went, thank you, sweetheart, and I saw fire

231
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: in her eyes and I felt suddenly like a second

232
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: grader when you make your teacher mad, and you know, yeah,

233
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: and then a large man. I don't know if he

234
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: in my mind now it's gotten better, but I feel

235
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: like he picked me up by the back.

236
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: Of my shirt and oisted me out.

237
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: And so I walked out with my manager at the time,

238
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: and he said, how'd it go?

239
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: I go, well, that did not go so well.

240
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: That was not my Christofferson Johnny Cash moment that I

241
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: was hoping for.

242
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 4: And then dude, we turn on the radio and I

243
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 4: hear you go, who what did he do?

244
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: And dude and it was like next thing, you know,

245
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: my phone? Oh gosh, it was yeah. And those were

246
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: the end of my outlaw days. I have not I

247
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: have not broke into any place. I was a changed

248
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: man after that. I didn't like the feeling of you know,

249
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: breaking and entering.

250
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: That's funny, the breaking an entering part, because a big

251
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 3: part of my careers I broke into another radio station

252
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 3: and took over the airwaves.

253
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: Dude, that's awesome.

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: It's now looking back, it's awesome.

255
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there was a time that I could have

256
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: really been in a lot of trouble because we took

257
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: over the airwaves, like we locked everybody out and then

258
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: took over on the phone and drove around the city

259
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: and like we FCC violated many things that Yeah. So

260
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: when you say that and you're like, I knew I wasn't,

261
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: That's how I felt the whole time I was also

262
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: breaking into a radio station.

263
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

264
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: I well also too, let me say this about you,

265
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of artists even in this town.

266
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about being some outlaws. But just because you

267
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: don't like dress the part I mean me and you,

268
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean I've I don't know that I've ever dropped

269
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: a four letter word on a podcast for radio before,

270
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: but this is some outlaws shit, you know, And.

271
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: We were very much in a similar place at that time.

272
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Definitely, But you know what it was is before you

273
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: tell your story, I'll say this.

274
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: After the.

275
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: You know, after we we cooled off a little bit,

276
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: and the more I got to know about you and

277
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: see what you're all about.

278
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: I was like, that dude's just like me, but he's got.

279
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: Glasses same except he wears the cowboy hat. That's kind

280
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: of how I felt.

281
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember the Facebook post at all, so

282
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: I would love to even see it. At first, I

283
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: was like, Mike, if you find it, if you happen

284
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: to go back ten years I was looking for.

285
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: Having Mike wasn't even born.

286
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: I would love to read it because I'm curious as

287
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: to where my head was then ten years. My version

288
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: of this is, if it was ten years ago, I

289
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: hadn't been here very long.

290
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: The town hated my guts.

291
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a bull in.

292
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: A china shop with anybody who put they could have

293
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: pushed me out of the way of a car, and

294
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: I was like, you pushed me. It's time to fight, yeah,

295
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: And so anyone trying to assert any direction or authority on.

296
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: Me, We're gonna fight. Because had to fight forever to

297
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: get there.

298
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: I thought everybody was coming for me, So I was

299
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: going to take everybody down before they got to me.

300
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: That's very much my headspace, and not just specifically towards you,

301
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: but it's what made my first few years here very difficult.

302
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: I do think though, the same way that you have success.

303
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: My success now is based on those first three or

304
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: four years of just fighting everybody, because one, I think

305
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: it got me a lot of respect, and two, I

306
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: got to be myself very unapologetically. I didn't have to

307
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: play the game like you didn't want to play the

308
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: Nashville game.

309
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to play the Nashville game.

310
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, totally.

311
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: You know.

312
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: When I moved here, they were like, you got to

313
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: wear a cowboy hat and you got to act like

314
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: a little more of and I'm like, dude, there's a

315
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: difference in trailer park country like I was in Cowboy Country,

316
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: and both count. Both count, but I'm not going to

317
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: be a version of the country that I'm not. And

318
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: so the only thing I remember was Elena showing up

319
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: and she said, hey, there's somebody out front, and again

320
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: this is so long ago. Yeah, so long ago, bro,

321
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm in the middle of a show.

322
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going out there.

323
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: And secondly, I don't meet people about music ever, because

324
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: although I can like spike music here and there and

325
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: play what I want. I don't want to play music.

326
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to be known for that. And so

327
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not going to meet anybody out there,

328
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: and she's like, I'll go meet him, and she comes

329
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: back pissed. The only thing that I remember is that

330
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: my person was pissed. And it wouldn't have mattered if

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: you would have said, hey, hope you have a good day.

332
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: But she was pissed and she felt offended. Anybody that

333
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: came after mind, and you didn't come after I don't

334
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: feel like, now knowing you, you came after her.

335
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: I feel like.

336
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: Both people were in a place that it was a

337
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: bit awkward. You were in an awkward place, she was

338
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: in an awkward place. And I was like, if you're offended,

339
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm offended and I like to fight, Let's go after him.

340
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: And that's what it was. And so yeah, I just

341
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: was like, let's just burn it all down. I do

342
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: not I don't know this person. I'm able to. I'll

343
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: burn anything down right now. And then I did, and

344
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: I remember it was all about her saying that you

345
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 2: called her sweetheart, And in my head, I'm like dude,

346
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 2: I grew up in Arkansas.

347
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 4: I was shocked.

348
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: I said, man, I remember someone interviewed interviewed me, and

349
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: I said, all I know is this, do not call

350
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: a girl in Nashville, Tennessee a sweetheart because it does not.

351
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: It that does not. But you know it's what's hilarious.

352
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: We ate it.

353
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: It was like a couple of days later, we were

354
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: still here. We were at one of those like.

355
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 4: What do they call it, the Hot Chicken, the Hot Chicken, the.

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: Like one of the hot chicken places. What's the one

357
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: called Mike the big one.

358
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: As you can see, we don't really go to the

359
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: Statue of Liberty down here.

360
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

361
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I think we were Hattie Bees. Actually it was Hattie Bees.

362
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: And I ordered something and the lady was like, can

363
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: I get you anything else?

364
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 4: Sweetheart? And I was like and we all. I was like,

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 4: oh did she do?

366
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: What?

367
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 4: Does she just call me? Would that lady just cut?

368
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: No?

369
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: But yeah no, and and you know, I but I

370
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 4: will say this, I knew that's what it was.

371
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: She was offended. I wasn't offended. Yeah, because she was offended.

372
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.

373
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: My person's upset. I'm upset.

374
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: You got to take care of your people.

375
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: And I wasn't there to see it. And also, again,

376
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: I'm from a small town in Arkansas. Everybody called everbodys sweetheart. Yeah,

377
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: so even if you'd called me that, well, that might

378
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: I might have been different.

379
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: I thought maybe you thought I was cute.

380
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 4: But like, he's a really nice guy.

381
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been offended had she not been out

382
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: of her mind mad. And I'm like, Okay, I got you,

383
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: and that was it, And so I went with it.

384
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: You went with it. It got to be kind of

385
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: fun for a second. And then the more people I

386
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: knew that knew you even second later, they were like,

387
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: he's a good guy, like he's and what did they

388
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: tell me?

389
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 3: He's got he's kind of got a mouth like you.

390
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good guy. And then it just kind

391
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: of faded away. Yeah, but for me, it was never

392
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: because there are some people from that long ago that

393
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: I have no relationship with. Because I really became offended

394
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: with you.

395
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: I never felt that way. Actually I followed.

396
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: I mean I messaged you a few weeks ago and

397
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: I was like, dude, you were killing it like it.

398
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: I guess I don't even think about that version of us.

399
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we were both.

400
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: You're very right because also what happened to me is

401
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: I love country music.

402
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 4: I just love it.

403
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: It's when it comes to baseball and country music are

404
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: the two things that my dad have always We've always

405
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: had together. You know, even when I was a teenager

406
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: and I was being a turd if it came down,

407
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: if it was involved baseball, our country music, me and

408
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: Dad were suddenly best buds again and we would get along.

409
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: And that's still the same thing today. You know, it's

410
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: like I'm ready to get back home, so he's ready

411
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: to come over to the house and hear the new

412
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Whalan Songbird album and he wants to hear it on

413
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: vinyl at the house. And so so country music means

414
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: a lot to me.

415
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: And so.

416
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: I've never been like I want to be a big

417
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: country star. I kind of looked up to guys like

418
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: Guy Clark and Robert ro' keene. I've always kind of

419
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: been infatuated with these country boys that can just sing

420
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: their songs on a stool and make a living. And

421
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: I love business, so I'm good at that. And so

422
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: when I was in college, I thought to myself, Okay,

423
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: I probably I don't want to be George Strait. That's

424
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, if it were to go there, then that

425
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: would be cool. But I had a very realistic business plan.

426
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, if I can play shows and

427
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: break even paying the band and all the expenses, if

428
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I could sell just three thousand, four thousand CDs a

429
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: year on the back of the van, I'd make more

430
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: than I would make if I was going to be

431
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: a baseball coach in high school. It was really that simple,

432
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: and then it grew from there. But that week was

433
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: a That week was an interesting week because I thought

434
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: that having a number one album would be celebrated and

435
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: earlier that week what happened is that's when the president

436
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: of Sony, Gary Overton, said, if you're not played on

437
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: that's what your article was about. Oh my gosh, it

438
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: just hit me. You were your thing was about. Gary

439
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: Overton made a comment he said, if you're not played

440
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: on mainstream radio, then you don't exist. Well, then I've

441
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: got a smart mouth. I got interviewed by like one

442
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: of the big papers here and then whatever the paper

443
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: is in London obviously does that make sense?

444
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah here?

445
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the weirdest thing I was like in

446
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone, was I mean, I'm getting You have to

447
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: realize at this point, I've already been doing this for

448
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: fifteen years. I have never experienced this kind of thing

449
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: in my life. And all of a sudden they're like, hey,

450
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: rolling Stone wants to talk to you, and I'm like

451
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: rolling Stone, And so they asked me. Gary Overton, the

452
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: president of Sony, said if you don't get played on

453
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: mainstream radio, you don't exist. They said, what would your response.

454
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: Be to him?

455
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: And I said, well, I guess I'd walk up to him,

456
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: shake his hand, and go, hey, mister Overton, my name's

457
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Watson, and I got the number one country album

458
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: this week, so I guess I kind of sort of exist. Well,

459
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: that started going viral, and next thing you know, people

460
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: started and I at that point, I accidentally threw him

461
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: under the bus and I started. It was just a

462
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: It was a wild thing. And I am a guy.

463
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: I am pro artist. I wave the flag for all artists,

464
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: whether they're on a label, whether they're independent. Obviously, I

465
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: really cater towards the independent kids because I can tell

466
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: them something that I can actually sit some of these

467
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: kids down and go tell me your numbers. Okay, no,

468
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: don't even think about a bush right now. Don't even

469
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: think about this right now. No, you don't need to

470
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: hire a social media person. You need a front of

471
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: house guy because your band sounds horrible out front. I

472
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: can help an artist. There are mainstream young artists that,

473
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: because I've probably almost got three thousand shows under my belt,

474
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: that I could say, tell me what you're doing, because

475
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: I've made a lot of mistakes, and they may be

476
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: one hundred million times more talented than me raw talent,

477
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: but I've honed my craft over twenty five years, three

478
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: thousand shows or whatever it is. But that was a

479
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: crazy week for me, just because of all of a sudden,

480
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: all this heightened publicity. I mean I was already selling

481
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: out every show I played in the South, in Texas

482
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: and everywhere we would go.

483
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: So it wasn't like I was new.

484
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: It was.

485
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: Literally I'd been doing it for fifteen years already. I

486
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: was like, you know, people would talk to me like, well,

487
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm some new artists, and I'm like, well,

488
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, fifteen years ago, I was I got a

489
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: wife and three kids.

490
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: Come on, you're sure I wrote. I just was never

491
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: a guy that wrote stuff. I mean, I wrote.

492
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 4: Books, yeah, I'm I'm I'm very sure.

493
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not saying I did.

494
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I have it somewhere. I'll send it to you.

495
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't Here's the deal in this. It didn't offend me.

496
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: It's almost very parallel with what you just said with

497
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: you weren't mad at me for saying sweetheart. It was

498
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: more the fact that she worked for you and she

499
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: was upset.

500
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 4: You were more.

501
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: Now that we're talking about it, a lot of this

502
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: is coming back to me. I think you were addressing

503
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: the fact that Gary Overton made a very bold statement about.

504
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: I don't know Gary Overton. Yeah, yeah, did you find it?

505
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: I found it?

506
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: Okay, can you text it to me or just hand

507
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: me a computer or something. I would love to see

508
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: it because I these are my sleeping pill years.

509
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this.

510
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I will still have people come

511
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: up to me and ask me about you, and I go,

512
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: we're friends.

513
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 4: Now, we're good.

514
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 5: Now, let's take a quick pause for a message from

515
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 5: our sponsor. Wow, and we're back on the Bobby cast.

516
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: Let me read this and I wrote this.

517
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go, and the Bobby on Facebook letter guy,

518
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: I can't believe I wrote on Facebook this article. So

519
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: what am I wrote? The S word looks like, Yeah, wow,

520
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't said a single curse word in

521
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: six or seven years.

522
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: You're refined.

523
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: Now, that's crazy. Okay, I'm just gonna read it and

524
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 2: cringe afterwards.

525
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

526
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: In the article about country radio being out of touch

527
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: because Aaron Watson isn't getting played is absurd, not because

528
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: the title is wrong, but because of why they wrote it.

529
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: First off, in a few ways, country radio is out

530
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: of touch. I get s for playing awesome ninety songs

531
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: on the air because we are new country. So many

532
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: suits throw tantrums because of it. Then they do research

533
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: and said, you know what people actually like nineties country?

534
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 3: No s.

535
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: I can save you research money about ninety five percent

536
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: of the time. But not playing Aaron Watson isn't the

537
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: reason there's any sort of disconnect. Radio purchasing music is

538
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: a singles game. Now the old Internet allows us to

539
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: buy one song at a time, so we do. Rarely

540
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 2: does anyone buy an album anymore, usually only if it's

541
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: one of our favorite artists. This is why the world

542
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 2: flipped when Taylor sold over a million, which is unheard

543
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: of in a week now. I like Aaron but I

544
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: just checked and he doesn't have a single song on

545
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: the top one hundred on iTunes. And last time I checked,

546
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: radio doesn't play albums, they play songs. I love radio,

547
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: and radio is changing every day. The days of it

548
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: being just in your car or through a transmitter are

549
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: coming to an end.

550
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: Dang, I was really ahead of it.

551
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: You were let's go, baby, Yeah you were. It's going

552
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: to be in your car, but in your Wi Fi.

553
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: Mine already is Spotify. iHeartRadio podcast. That's the landscape. Radio

554
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: for now is still king, but the king realizes that

555
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: other people are invading its territory.

556
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: And it's cool that.

557
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: It type I heart Radio, which was created by my

558
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 2: radio company. I think I was just like saying I

559
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: am part of a company that does that.

560
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. I wrote that terrible.

561
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: Radio still dominates and quote you only played the same

562
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: artists over and over is what I hear all the time.

563
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: Note I don't pick the music, but yeah, you know

564
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: why because people love and they're buying those songs right now.

565
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: It's a ratings game, just like the local news. It's

566
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: a business. Radio is about hit songs. Not hit albums.

567
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: Hopefully a song that you check out on an album

568
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: and you buy is then if the album is great,

569
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: it'll thrive regardless of radio play see bet Casey, musk Graves,

570
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: et cetera. Within any industry, the cream always rises to

571
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: the top. However, the article is dumb. Side note I've

572
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: been scolded twice for playing Johnny Cash on the Year

573
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: twice in the last two days.

574
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: Side note two. I also played Aaron Watson on the.

575
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: Year earlier in the week, way before the article and said,

576
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: I really like the song, so I'm pro Aaron Watson.

577
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: I'm just anti that his album selves have anything to

578
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: do with radio being disconnected. Side note three, what's up, Aaron,

579
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm a fan. Don't take this as a personal shot.

580
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: Everybody check out the album. The album will not be

581
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: played on the show. Signed Bobby Bones.

582
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's I don't know.

583
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: I still kind of stand behind it most of that.

584
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, and it was a good it was that

585
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: was all good stuff, and I think that's where the

586
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: What's up Aaron I was like for me.

587
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: I'm a very realistic person.

588
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Like the last three albums that I've made, I have

589
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: not even thought about pushing nationally because I can listen

590
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: to them and go mm hmmm, I'm not gonna spend

591
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: my kid's inheritance.

592
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna gamble their inheritance on this music.

593
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: I think my point with that though, wasn't anything to

594
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: do with your anybody.

595
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: So totally it's that just because an album exists doesn't

596
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: mean that a song should have to be forced down

597
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: whatever whatever radio was becoming.

598
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: Totally so, I don't I don't even think it was

599
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: about you, No, it wasn't.

600
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: It was like the the Gary Overton.

601
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: The more we talk about it, it's bringing back, it's

602
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: bringing it all back. I think for me, I was thinking, okay,

603
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: literally one of the biggest radio names in the game,

604
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones, Like I felt like that was another like

605
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: I already have. Like there's like Eric Church talks about

606
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: being an outsider. I remember thinking, well, if you're an outsider,

607
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: where am I actually like am I outside.

608
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: The you know?

609
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: I remember thinking like, so we had all those obstacles,

610
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: and I think for me, I don't know that I

611
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: went over there even like wanting to meet you behind

612
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: the dumpster and fight. I think it was there was

613
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: some of it that was like Hey, what's up, Aaron,

614
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: But you know whatever, And I kind of was like, dude, I.

615
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: Want to get this guy the album.

616
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: If he could hear this album, this thing turned out

617
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: really special. And I think too, we were just I mean,

618
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, like my manager now, Greg, you know, I

619
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: couldn't get him to even take a whiff of it

620
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: back in the day, you know, And it was just

621
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: roadblock after roadblock after roadblock. And I think at the

622
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, I wanted people to know not

623
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: just about me. I wanted people to know about Texas

624
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: music like it. I love country music, so I have

625
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: enough music education that I could hear what mainstream radio's playing,

626
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: and then I could hear some of the stuff that

627
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: my buddies are playing, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,

628
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: this stuff is good. And I was really getting fed

629
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: up with people putting me in a box. And I

630
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: used to say, were the Beach Boys popular in Kansas?

631
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 4: Yes? Are there beaches in Kansas?

632
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: No? Was West Coast Rap popular in West Texas?

633
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: Yes?

634
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean I got a whipping for owning Doctor Dre's

635
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: the Chronic. You know, your bark was loud, but your

636
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: bide wasn't vicious. I know that album like the back

637
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: of my hand, which is weird, and I use that

638
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: now I rap when I want to embarrass my daughter,

639
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: and that's one of my But it's one of those things.

640
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: I think you and I were in a very similar

641
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: place where we were both scratching, clawing.

642
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 4: For every inch of the way.

643
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: And having to actually fight for our little territory or

644
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: our our space. I think that's really, really probably what

645
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: it was.

646
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: But when you talk about that, because it's funny how

647
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: we're talking about it and stuff's coming up because I

648
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: don't remember writing that, it's I'm kind of proud that

649
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: I predicted all the digital stuff, and I'm like, dude,

650
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: I was kind of like Jim Morrison when you predicting

651
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: computers would do music.

652
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: When you're reading that, I'm like, okay, wow.

653
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: This is in my head as another freaking cowboy telling

654
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: me how to do my show, because that's all this

655
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: talent was, where cowboys telling me that everything I was

656
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: doing was wrong. And again, it wasn't even you specifically,

657
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: it was another cowboy coming to me saying, no, you

658
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: don't get it in me in my box as an outsider,

659
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm going f.

660
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: You, dude.

661
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.

662
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: All you cowboys are doing is telling me how to

663
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: do country music. I grew up on country music. Just

664
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: because I don't look like you doesn't mean I don't

665
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: own an equal love so in a very similar way,

666
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: makes you represented the system to me. Yeah, and I

667
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: was like, screw that dude. And then the sweetheart thing, Well,

668
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: my person's upset. But it's funny, how and both stories

669
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: are true because we own we each own a version

670
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: of that story.

671
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funny.

672
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: It is funny, but you know it was I learned

673
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: a lot from You know, I learned a lot from

674
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: from that.

675
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 4: I can tell you what I learned from it.

676
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know that i've actually really I realized

677
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: it until we're talking about it face to face, but

678
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: i've My mom said something to me when we called.

679
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: With the follow up call, I said, Mom, I don't

680
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: feel like I did anything wrong, well besides breaking into

681
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: his place. I go, but they're mad at me. I go,

682
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: I call her sweetheart. And my mom said, baby, at

683
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you hurt, if you

684
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: hurt her feelings, you owe her an apology, whether you

685
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: think you did anything right or wrong. So my mom

686
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: came in clutch again, I which he always is right,

687
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: and I apologize, but it was what I learned from

688
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: that situation is a lot of things that I'm applying

689
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: now to social media and the reason why people are like,

690
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: where did you come from? And I was like, well,

691
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: I've never taken social media serious. I had a guy

692
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: tell me that I have become irrelevant. The last five

693
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: years have been pretty hard on me. I've had two

694
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: surgeries on my vocal cords, where it's like anytime I

695
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm finally ramping up and ready to go,

696
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: I have to stop and go have surgery, and it

697
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: shuts the whole thing down for It's like you're you're

698
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: ready to have the season of your life. And I've

699
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: been feeling like that since almost twenty twenty, like I'm

700
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: ready to have the best year of my career. And

701
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: then I have vocal court issues, and I have vocal

702
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: court issues again, and I'm finally for the first time

703
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: in the clear, and I'm like, Okay, let's go, and

704
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: everybody talks about it's about social media, and I'm like, oh,

705
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: I can do this, and I can do this good

706
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: and and in the last I'm pretty sure that in

707
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: the last five months, we've had more growth than we

708
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: had the previous five years. But I think what our

709
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: experience taught me is if you live by the sword,

710
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: you die by the sword. That's true, you know, And

711
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: it's like, make sure that you're willing to die on

712
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: that heel. And and also too, when I'm when I'm

713
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: talking about another artist, I make sure that there's no

714
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: hatefulness behind it. It's very important that they it's very

715
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: important that I don't act like that. If there's someone

716
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: that I don't care for, that that's I'm not gonna

717
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there.

718
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 4: I talk about things.

719
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: One artist told a fan to do something awful from

720
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: the microphone, and it's unacceptable. And all the young artists

721
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: can tell me that it's okay to drop f bombs

722
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: from the stage if they want to, but I don't

723
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: think it's acceptable. I'm a dad, and I think that

724
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: some of these young artists someday, when they have kids

725
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: and they understand how how sensitive and precious those little

726
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: ears are, they're going to change on that stage. They're

727
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: going to go I have no right to talk like

728
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: that to fans who brought their children. And they can

729
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: try to argue with me. I have experience arguing. I

730
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: have three teenagers, so that's that's more of my standpoint

731
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: of when we're and then also too, I like to

732
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: just be I like to be funny. Like it backfired

733
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: on me this week, which one, well, I made one.

734
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: A lot of artists get fed up with people throwing

735
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: things at them, which I've been hit with everything. So

736
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: a couple of girls through some those little baby Jesus

737
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Is at me. So I made a funny I thought

738
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: it was funny. My wife didn't think it was funny.

739
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: But I made a little like I'm fed up with

740
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: people throwing things. And I was like, would y'all look

741
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: at what hit me in the you know? Babye and

742
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: so so I was on stage. We played with Braxton Keith.

743
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: We were in Arizona on Saturday night. In the moment

744
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: I hit the stage, it started raining Baby Jesus Is

745
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: on me.

746
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 4: Fifty fifty plus baby Jesus.

747
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: Has bombed me, and and part of me it wasn't

748
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: that the baby Jesus is hurt. I'm trying not to

749
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: laugh when I get smacked with the little baby Jesus.

750
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeap, baby Jesus is. I got

751
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: a fine collection of Baby Jesus Is now. But but

752
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: you know it's top that will I will say this

753
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: that the experience, there's a couple of things. Our ticket,

754
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: our our album sales soared that week because of our

755
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: little confrontation.

756
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 4: And there's a couple of things I learned from it.

757
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: You didn't do anything wrong by sticking up for your person,

758
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't do anything wrong for sticking up for

759
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: the family business.

760
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 4: And that's important. You have to do that.

761
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: And if you want to be successful in any facet

762
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: of your life, you have to be willing to do that.

763
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you were passionate about your your brand, your people.

764
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: And in the same way, I'm like, oh heck no,

765
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: I got songs on this album. Fifteen years into my career.

766
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm as good as anybody on radio, give me my shot.

767
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: And we were both willing to die on that hill.

768
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: You know, now that we're older, you know, we realize, okay,

769
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: we're we were running hot, but.

770
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 4: You're not where you're at today.

771
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: If you hadn't have reacted how you reacted. Sure, and

772
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's you got to I mean, that's the thing.

773
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: There's not a great athlete out there. Besides shoh, that's passive.

774
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, everybody has to be a bulldog. That guy

775
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: is not from Japan. He's from another planet, another planet.

776
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 4: He's an alien.

777
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: I agree.

778
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 6: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the

779
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 6: Bobby Cast.

780
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: And that guy.

781
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but that that bull, I'll

782
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 2: call him the bull. He's still in there, and sometimes

783
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: sometimes I feel uncomfortable when he starts to come, when

784
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: he starts to fight to get out. Yeah, and then

785
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: I have to read about it because I also think

786
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: this everything's wrestling at this point, even the fights. And

787
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 2: I did a whole thing about Zach Brian and Gavin

788
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: Adcar and I was like, to me, as a spectator,

789
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm watching wrestling.

790
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: It ain't real.

791
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it is either an I.

792
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 3: Mean to them, it could be, but it's gonna be over.

793
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: They're gonna be doing a so all together in two years.

794
00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

795
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 2: Like it's that all of entertainment is wrestling, and get

796
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: it how you can get it, And when you get older,

797
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna realize you got in a very immature way.

798
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

799
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: Now if I see a video and they're just throwing

800
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: punches and there is bloody noses. I'm gonna be like,

801
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about, And I think there would

802
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: have been.

803
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 2: But I would bet money I would get on draft

804
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: Kings right now, and I would bet that in the

805
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: next five.

806
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: Years they do something together.

807
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Probably, So yeah, because well you were already right about

808
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: the entire streaming world back in two thousand and fifty.

809
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 3: That was again, I'm pretty proud of that. I didn't

810
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: even know I wrote that.

811
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 4: You do. You know what, when is your rereading that?

812
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: What I regret is, instead of being selfish and making

813
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: it all about my music, why didn't I listen to

814
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: the wisdom there and go I need to invest?

815
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: There was no wisdom. I was guessing. It was all guessing,

816
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: but it was you know.

817
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 2: No, I did reach out to you a couple weeks ago, wait,

818
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 2: but way before this was even set up, and it

819
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: wasn't for any of the purpose other than just to

820
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: see what you're doing and watching you do it and consistently.

821
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: I think anybody can do anything great a couple of times,

822
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: but the hardest thing in the world is to do

823
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: anything consistently.

824
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 3: Consistently. To me, consistency is currency.

825
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: And to watch you consistently be good on social media and.

826
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 3: Be present again.

827
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: I was inspired by it, and so I send you

828
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: a message at like ten o'clock at night, and I

829
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: was like.

830
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: Dude, by the way, thank you.

831
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: I was like, I've been watching your stuff and you

832
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: gotta know that I think the world of what you're doing.

833
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: Because it wasn't like two videos. It wasn't a couple

834
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: that went viral. It was like, over months and months

835
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: and months, you were consistently compelling from a lot of

836
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: different angles. And so now when I see people do things,

837
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: I would like to recognize them because I think sometimes

838
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 2: it feels awfully lonely. We're making all this stuff and

839
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, people don't communicate to us.

840
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 3: Either they don't like it, they're jealous of it.

841
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 2: They think everybody else is communicating to us, so why

842
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: should they. So it was just like, hey, dude, like

843
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: I love what you're doing. And that wasn't weird, but

844
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: I did feel that, you know.

845
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: It was nice.

846
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: It made my day because I mean, and this it

847
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: I was chuckling as we're driving over here because I'm like,

848
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: literally it was almost ten years ago where it kind

849
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: of hit the.

850
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: Fan sweetheartfest Sweetees two thousand and five or whatever.

851
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was, yeah, you know that Watson, he's

852
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 4: an outlaw. He'll call a woman a sweetheart.

853
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean, but you know, you know in that Bobby

854
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 3: he'll he'll protect his people.

855
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: It does make sense that I've always said that I

856
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: have a really I have this god given ability of

857
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: accidentally pissing off a woman. And I did it right there,

858
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, I just you know, I'll look at my

859
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: daughter now and go, hey, are you mad at me?

860
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: Did? What did? I?

861
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 4: What?

862
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: You know, my girl?

863
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: I drove thirty minutes, took you into town to get

864
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: you an isa E bowl. I feel like you shouldn't

865
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: be mad at me right now. But how what's it

866
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: like having teenagers?

867
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 3: I love it.

868
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 4: It's it's I can't believe that they're of the age

869
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 4: they're at.

870
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: Everyone says it flies.

871
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 4: Everyone told me that just yesterday when they were little.

872
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: Does it because again, I'm about to have a kid.

873
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, it's gonna fly, and I'm like, nothing really flies.

874
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that the first couple of years

875
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: fly at all at all. It's a it's a it's

876
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: a life life adjustment. It's it's a it's a lifestyle adjustment.

877
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: It's the culture changes on you.

878
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: Next thing.

879
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: You know, you're revolving everything around your baby. But it's

880
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: also one of those things that before I'll give you

881
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: a good example. I had a nineteen seventy eighty twenty

882
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: eight that I bought off eBay when my wife and

883
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: I got married, and for three years I saved up

884
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: and I was fixing it up, redid the interior, put

885
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: a new engine in it, new transmission in it, and

886
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: I was getting it painted. This paint shop said, hey,

887
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: we'll do it for a really good deal if you don't,

888
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: if we can just kind of do it when in

889
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: between projects.

890
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 4: I was so excited.

891
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: I would drive up there and see progress that they

892
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: had made and I could not wait.

893
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 4: I could not wait to get that car. They called

894
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 4: me to tell me my Z twenty eight was.

895
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Ready on March the sixth, two thousand and six, a

896
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: few hours after Jake was born.

897
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: I forgot about the car.

898
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: I never cared about the car again, and that always

899
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: made me go, wow, that's crazy, because for three years

900
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with, like, I can't wait to get

901
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: this car all souped up. The car set out there.

902
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: A kid came by the house one day and said,

903
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: how much would you sell that car for? And I

904
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, I don't ever drive it.

905
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: It's really hard to put a baby seat in the

906
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: back of the OLZ twenty eight. But I remember the

907
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: kid brought like thirty five hundred dollars in a shoe box,

908
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: and I just it was worth probably four times that.

909
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: But I was once sixteen and would have given anything

910
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: to have that car, and I but it is the

911
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: coolest thing ever and my oldest I'll tell you one

912
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: of the reasons why why I am the best version

913
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: of me as an artist. And while my five year

914
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: plan is going to win, first of all, it's not

915
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: about me. I want my kids to see me win that.

916
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: I want them to see me win. They're at an

917
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: age right now where I'm telling them if you work hard,

918
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: if you work hard and you're willing to put in

919
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: the time and the effort, you can do anything. And

920
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: I've been preaching that and now they're getting to watch me.

921
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: And my oldest boy, Jake is nineteen. He comes out

922
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, plays the guitar. I mean, he's he's

923
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: a hundred times more talented than me. He just I'm

924
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: not gonna allow him to record songs until he can

925
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: grow good sideburns, because I'm like, dude, your voice is

926
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: still changing and you can't grow sideburns.

927
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 4: That's the deal.

928
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, what a freaking girl, Cydeburns. And I'm like,

929
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's like, Dad, when could you grow Sydeburns.

930
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know when I was like

931
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: until I was like twenty six.

932
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: And he's like no.

933
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: And my middle boy, Jack is all into business, bitcoin, gold,

934
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: silver stocks, so we talk business. And then my daughter,

935
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: she's like a young Aretha girl, can just sing and

936
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: she writes and they're watching me, and I'm having more fun.

937
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 4: I'm having more fun than I've ever had in my life.

938
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 4: I'm just different now.

939
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: When we were on the stage at the American Rodeo

940
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: in front of fifty thousand people, I got up on

941
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: that stage, I just looked around and I literally was like,

942
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: thank you Lord. I'm the luckiest man in the world

943
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: right now, Like I'm lucky. It's not blessed, I'm just lucky.

944
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm lucky. And and then then last night we just

945
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: played to five hundred people at a little place in Flagstaff,

946
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: and I felt the same way. I had as much

947
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: fun in front of five hundred people last night as

948
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: I did fifty thousand people in Arlington, and it's just

949
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm loving it. I'm writing better songs than I've ever written,

950
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: and I understand. I understand, I understand the business better.

951
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: And I also am like, oh man, like really didn't

952
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: have his moment till his forties, and so I don't know,

953
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: I might get into acting.

954
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. Really, Oh yeah, I'm all about it

955
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 4: like I have I am.

956
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: I am here to show every independent artist that you

957
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: are in control of your destiny and I will not

958
00:47:58,640 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 1: be stopped.

959
00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 4: Dude.

960
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: It's like I did not give social media the credit

961
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: it deserved. I was being in like just a fuddy

962
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: duddy about it, like this is a pain, this is stupid.

963
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: But then I realized, oh man, do it right, and

964
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: it gives you the opportunity to do what no other

965
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: artist has ever been able to do in the history

966
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: of music. And my streams are going up because why

967
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 1: because I'm making a video.

968
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 5: You know.

969
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 1: I made one thing that I saw that was cool

970
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: is I did a video on Father's Day about bread

971
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: David Gates, the songwriter. He wrote a song, and all

972
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: my life I thought this song was about like a girlfriend.

973
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: It's like a love song, like she's gone. But I

974
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: actually listened to the lyrics and I was like, oh

975
00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is about his dad and I I

976
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: have old record players and I played it and the

977
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: thing had like ten million views, like forty thousand shares,

978
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, you know what I want

979
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: to be more than the music I want. I've got

980
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: this new YouTube series that we just started, and it's

981
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: called Good Song, and it's where we do good things

982
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: for people through music.

983
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 4: And I've always people.

984
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: Give me an example.

985
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, well, the basis of the show is people always say,

986
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: how do you want to be remembered, And I always say, well,

987
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to be remembered as a guy. He loved Jesus,

988
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: he loved his family, and he wrote a pretty good

989
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: song that would make me happy.

990
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: And so it's called Good Song.

991
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: And the first episode we were in Amarillo, we went

992
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: to the Veterans Hospital. My dad's one hundred percent disabled

993
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: from Vietnam, so I spent a lot of time up

994
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: there with Daddy growing up doing volunteer work. I mean,

995
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: we were just going room to room and visiting. That

996
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: had a huge impression on me as a kid. But

997
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: we just took out some veterans, went and played golf

998
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: with them, took them out to get a steak, brought

999
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: their families to the concert, and just really just loved

1000
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: on them. And we're doing another one next month where

1001
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: uh we're going to Love and Care ministries in Abilene.

1002
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 4: It's a homeless shelter and.

1003
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: Uh man, I've got a guy at a place an

1004
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: Abiline called the Shed and we've already talked about dude.

1005
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: Get maybe I'm like, dude, let's give these folks some

1006
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: New York strips, let's let's let's let's give them something.

1007
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: Let's give them a wonderful experience. And just understanding I have.

1008
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: I will I say I'm lucky when I don't like

1009
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: to say blessed on certain things because I don't think

1010
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: that's fair. I don't think like, oh I'm more blessed

1011
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: because oh God decided to bless me, but they're not

1012
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: blessing this person. I feel like I'm lucky. I feel

1013
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: like I feel like I have work ethic but my job,

1014
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: but where I am blessed is I have this platform

1015
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: much like you, where you've done a lot of great things.

1016
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: You use your platform to bless others, and that's a

1017
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: blessing to you, that that you being able to do

1018
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: that to help others. That is the that's that's that's

1019
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: the blessing. And so for me, you know, something came

1020
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: across my feed and some little boy in Illinois, his

1021
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: mom's page is Wonderful Life with Bedford, and Bedford is

1022
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: two and a half. He has this genetic disorder, he's handicapped,

1023
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to raise some money so that

1024
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: he can have a playground that is suited for him.

1025
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: And I just reached out to the moment. I was like,

1026
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: could we could I just try because it was my

1027
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: wife and I we lost a little girl in two

1028
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: thousand and ten and no twenty eleven. Golly, she'd be fourteen,

1029
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: and we lost her shortly after she was born. So

1030
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: I saw Bedford's post that week that it would have

1031
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: been her fourteenth birthday, and I thought, you know what,

1032
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: let's celebrate Julia's birthday by doing something nice for Bedford.

1033
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: And so really that's where I'm having more fun than

1034
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: i've ever had in my life. I enjoy music more

1035
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: than I've ever had. Our shows are so good, like

1036
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: we are good, and I tell people we are good.

1037
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: I think we are the best band in country music.

1038
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 1: And that's not being arrogant. That's called believing in your guys,

1039
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: working hard, rehearsing. Also, we have been doing this for forever.

1040
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: We should be We should have been the best band.

1041
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: We're about ten years behind, so you know, but that

1042
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: you have to believe in yourself. You have to be

1043
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: a little crazy to do the things.

1044
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 4: That you and me are doing.

1045
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 3: You have to be a little You have to have

1046
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 3: a bit of delusion. Yeah, to be good, you got

1047
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: to have a whole lot of delusion to be great.

1048
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 4: You don't say you love sports right big time?

1049
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine starting a season and the coach going man,

1050
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: if we could just come in third this year, you

1051
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: know how hard it would be to get on that

1052
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: field knowing that there's no expectation like for me. I

1053
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: have an album coming out in March Horse named Texas.

1054
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: I want it to be the best album in country music,

1055
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: and my five year plan is I will put out

1056
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: three more albums. Also, I'm going to be blitzing. Hear

1057
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: that country radio, I'm going to be blitzing you with

1058
00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: singles for the next five years.

1059
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 4: Out of my pocket.

1060
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to blitz and blitz country radio with the

1061
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: best songs of my career because I can. I'm in

1062
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: a dangerous point in my life where the house is

1063
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: paid off.

1064
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I relate to too. I'm at a dangerous

1065
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 2: point in my life too, and it feels good. I

1066
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 2: got no debt and I got extra money, so I

1067
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 2: do what I want to.

1068
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: Do absolutely and you've earned it, and you've absolutely earned it.

1069
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: And I've spent all this time. I've spent all this

1070
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: time being told why I can't do things, and I

1071
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: always I have no regrets for not pushing a bigger mainstream.

1072
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: I have no regrets for not trying to go bigger

1073
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen through night my kids were little. They

1074
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: cried when I would leave, and music didn't bring me

1075
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: a fraction of the happiness that I felt when I

1076
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: would walk through the front door in all three of

1077
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: them would tackle me. Now you ask what it's like

1078
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: to have teenagers. Now I walk through the front door

1079
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like my dog, bandy.

1080
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 4: She tackles me.

1081
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: She loves me, she loves me, my wife, it's my

1082
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: wife's dog. My wife says, well, the only reason that

1083
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: she loves you more is because you give her snackies

1084
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 1: and scratchies, because that's what I call it. And I'm like,

1085
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: that's that dog's love language. She loves snack he's in scratchy,

1086
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: So of course she loves me more. But now I

1087
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: got to go to each kid's room and I'm like,

1088
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: dad's home.

1089
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 4: Oh hey, daddy, you know.

Speaker 4: I like that kid. I'll tell you why I like him.

1150
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, he's corny, and I've got a

1151
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of him hanging out with my boys at

1152
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: the house. They have we we have poker poker out

1153

Speaker 1: at our house about every night, so I've got teenage

1154
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: boys everywhere. But what I like about Bailey is there

1155
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: was one video in particular that I think about that

1156
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you know, this kid could have

1157
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: the worst music ever, and I'm gonna like him, and

1158
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: I like some of his songs.

1159
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 4: He's he's doing it. But what made me like him.

1160
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: Was he does that corny thing where he's like, ah,

1161
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: you know that thing he does where he screams, and

1162
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: but he goes y'all like a couple of years ago,

1163
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm singing in my basement and now I got my

1164
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: freaking face on the side of an eighteen wheeler. And

1165
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: he was like, thank you that it was genuine. That's genuine.

1166
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: And I will tell I'm telling every artist listening to

1167
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: this that right there will win the hearts. I mean,

1168
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: when people come up to me and they it's it

1169
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,800

1259
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the one I've heard, well from you one I heard.

1260
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 4: Let me just just ask me. I'll tell you how

1261
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 4: it is.

1262
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 3: You have to if you're If you don't believe in you,

1263
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 3: nobody else will.

1264
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 4: Well, you know what. The other thing too, is that

1265
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 4: you get this too, because.

1266
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Because you love sports, and with us both being athletes,

1267
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: it's a different frame of mind.

1268
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 4: You have to.

1269
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes talking big it makes you step it up, it

1270
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: makes you push yourself.

1271
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 4: You have to back it up.

1272
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Like when I tell people, when I told people a

1273
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: year ago my goal was to put out one of

1274
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the best albums in country music. When I went on

1275
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,919
Speaker 1: record saying that that started waking me up at five

1276
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: o'clock every morning to get up and write and write

1277
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: and write and write. And that's the same thing me

1278
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: going to radio right now saying I've got a five

1279
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: year plan. I'm not sending you one single then I'm

1280
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: going to disappear. There is a five year plan, five

1281
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: year plan, and at some point it's gonna get real

1282
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: redundant telling me no, and I just keep showing up.

1283
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: It's an assigned credibility or assigned accountability.

1284
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 4: Five years you can do what.

1285
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Also, what it's saying to radio is you can depend

1286
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: on me like I I will not say no. I'm

1287
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: here for country music. Any radio station that needs any

1288
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 1: help with a fundraiser, I'm lucky that I can help.

1289
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,400

1332
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,640

1333
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: overwhelming how many talented countries. Every time I scroll, I

1334
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: come across some kid with no followers. It sounds like

1335
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Keith Whitley, and I'm like, well, I'm still trying to

1336
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: sound like Keith Whitley, you know. But but I love

1337
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: that I'm at a place in my career where I

1338
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: truly believe. I really feel like I'm just getting started.

1339
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Like I really feel like I'm just getting started. I

1340
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: want to go back. I wish I could go back

1341
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: and tell me years ago, like, dude, every moment you

1342
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: get to step on that stage. But I think I

1343
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: was so distracted by the haters that I, like you

1344
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: were saying how you were ten years ago. Everyone hated

1345
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: you in this town, and you were just ready to

1346
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with people.

1347
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 4: I was a lot like that.

1348
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: Too, And I think what that does is it keeps

1349
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: you from enjoying that moment like, oh my gosh, I

1350
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: got to play the Houston Rodeo. I've got to do this,

1351
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: I've got to do that. I mean the things I've

1352
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: gotten to do. And I'm kind of like, man, I

1353
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,560
Speaker 1: wish I would have soaked that in more, but now

1354
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, and I can share

1355
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 1: that with others.

1356
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 4: You know.

1357
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, anytime you get to get on that stage, man, Man,

1358
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: you don't have.

1359
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 4: To do it, you get to do it.

1360
01:08:59,200 --> 01:08:59,280

Speaker 2: you were doing, wanted you to know that. And then

1366
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, if Aaron's in town, like I
