1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: I guess episode twenty one of the Bobby Cast. Here's 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Monday night. Whenever we record this. I appreciate you guys 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: being here. Our next Bobby Cast should unless something weird happens, 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: have Lauren Elena in and on. And she's actually a 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: friend and she's very entertaining. Man, she's a handful too, 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: so just because I mean, there's some artists like Control, 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: not really Lauren, so that'd be fun. That would be 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: the next Bobby Cast. So I appreciate you guys being here. 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: Leonard Cohen died, and not the black people know Leonard 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Cohen is in my generation. If you're a music nerd 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: or you're older, you knew who Leonard Cohen was. And 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: so Hallelujah was and then but you don't really careful music. 13 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: So he wrote it. But for me, the Jeff Buckley 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: version it was a cover is so good and so 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: I spent the weekend. It's funny when the artist dies, 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: you go back in you like rerespect him because everybody 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: it's like passing cars. Artists and songs like passing cars. 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: You forget how how great some things are. There's something 19 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: else there, there's something else there. But someone dies, you 20 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: have to go back, and you're like, oh man, here 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: they are again. Let me go pay attention. And so 22 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Leonard Cohen died. Just how great this song is. But 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: this is Jeff Buckley doing it. I'm just having a guitar. 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: Do you know this song? I don't mind you know 25 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: this song? Oh do? Jeff Buckley was awesome too. Hey 26 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: he's about to be He's awesome. But he died in 27 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: the Mississippi River. They never found his body her. There 28 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: was a secret call that David played and it pleased 29 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: the Lord. But you don't really great versions like a 30 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: really great song. And it's tough to cover a great 31 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: song because most of the time, if you cover a 32 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: great song and you put it out, it comes off 33 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of goofy. But yeah, that's one of those 34 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: rare ones. Even there are a few, like Uncle Cracker 35 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: did drift Away pretty well. That was risky, I mean 36 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: because drift aways a big one. Uh, there are a 37 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of those like that. So I spent the weekend 38 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: doing that. Just are the weekend was nuts. Let me 39 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: talk about this for a second.

The 73 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: weekend was weird for a bunch of reasons. I'll start 74 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: with this, is that we go and we play two 75 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Raging Idiots shows in Florida, and we're about to wrap 76 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: up the Raging Idiots, and we were really going to 77 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: wrap up the Raging Idiots like for a long time, 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: and then we got to offer to go play stagecoach 79 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: and we were like, well, we can't say no to this, 80 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: and so I guess we're gonna do like one or 81 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: two shows next year because Stagecoach just h Coach is 82 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: a huge festival California, and they invited us to play 83 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: and Chennai at Twain headlines that night and Marion Morris 84 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: and Dan and Shay and so I was like, we 85 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: can't say no. So we were doing that. Um that 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: was announced today, but yeah, that's crazy. So we go 87 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: out and we land in Fort Lauderdealty Airport. We finished 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: the show Friday morning. We land in Fort Lauderdale, and 89 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: some of this time I talked about on the show, 90 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: but there's just been some odd developments. And we park 91 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: our van not a hundred feet and then not in 92 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: the yards, not a hundred feet from the window that 93 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: we were eating, And it was probably twelve thirty or 94 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: one pm. And we have a van, and I know 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: for a fact my backpack was underneath my seat, and 96 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: the van's loaded with stuff. It's a really dark tinted 97 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: window and you're not gonna get into the back windows, 98 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: like your only option only to bust that front window. 99 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: And the stuff is heavy. You know, you know it's 100 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to steal this stuff. If it's night 101 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: and there's time and access, you can really get any 102 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: probably get some equipment, daytime, one pm, crowded parking lot. 103 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: I'm just a surprised that the van got busted into. 104 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: But what happened was my theory, and I know what's right. 105 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: But my theory is justin this two left his bag 106 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: and the van. His bag is so big you can't 107 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: put it under a seat, so it's just right in 108 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: the middle. And someone walking around who knew what they 109 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: were doing, because they tried to rip the lockout at first. 110 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: First you grab the door and see it's unlocked, right, 111 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and if it's unlocked, it open the door and get 112 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: whatever you want. We obviously had it locked for Then 113 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: they tried to do a screw driver into the lock. 114 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't get it out. This is a rental van too, 115 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: which sucks too because this is my insurance. And so 116 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: then they bust the big they not the big the 117 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: side window. There are two big windows. They bust a 118 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: little front part of the window and they reached it 119 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: unlocked the door, and so they gotta work quick. They've 120 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: just in the suits bag. As they're grabbing his bag, 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: they see mine underneath the seat. Then they grabbed my bag, 122 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: and then as they grab my bag they can see 123 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: my drummer stuff and they grabbed his bag and those 124 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: they had probably sixty seconds to do it all, thank you. 125 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: So we come out and we had a lunch, not 126 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: a long lunch, and we walk out and they're like 127 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: windows busted. I'm like, oh boy, I've been here before. 128 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: We just got we got rocked and my bag's gone. 129 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: I know. Immediately I was like, my bag's gone, and 130 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Justin's freaking out and everybody's trying to figure out if 131 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: their stuff has been stolen. The first thing that people 132 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: just they went to look at their instruments because that 133 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: was arguably the most expensive stuff. And the people have 134 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: their stuff in the way back of the van have 135 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: to worry because the person's not gonna go climbing over 136 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: three or four seats. No instruments were stolen, thank god. Um, 137 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: but at all my drummer, Justin and myself all of 138 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: our laptops and then we all had stuff in our backs, 139 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: like Justin as a printer in his life and more 140 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: for me, it was like technical stuff, expensive stuff. A 141 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: laptop really, I mean a strong laptop. Two uh, you know, headphones, 142 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: iPad um inner, ear monitors, you know, stupid expensive to 143 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: whatever it all gets stolen. And I just had a 144 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: conversation with my business manager, who I was so against 145 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: getting a business manager for so long because I was like, man, 146 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna because I have to pay a bunch 147 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: of people. I pay a lot of people in my life. 148 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: I have a manager, I have agents. It's weird that 149 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm in this place now, But when you have a 150 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on, you I can't possibly negotiate 151 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: a book deal. I can't possibly negotiate a recording contract 152 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: with a record label. I can't negotiate a radio contract. 153 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: So you have agents do that, and you have to 154 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: cut them a percentage, and then you have on top 155 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: of that your manager, and you cut a percent into that. 156 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,719 Speaker 1: So by the time you get to check, you get 157 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: about fifty of what your check is. Then taxes come 158 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: out of that. So it's a being in the creative world. 159 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: It's awesome. And I don't say this in a bad way, 160 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't understand the lack of 161 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: an athlete, for example, gets eight million dollars I got 162 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: signing bonus. He's probably getting like two and a half 163 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: million dollars of that realistically, So you have to because 164 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: he has agents and man. But blah blah blah blah blah. Listen, 165 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I wish I was an Athlete's got eight million dollars 166 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: and I don't feel sorry for him one bit. But 167 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: it's so uh what happens is, you know, you have 168 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: all these these these layers of people. I call my 169 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: business manager, which is someone else that I have to 170 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: that I pay, and she takes care of all the 171 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: business stuff, meaning she pays people for me. She does 172 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: the taxes like an accountant. Plus because since I don't 173 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: just have one job at a bunch of jobs, she 174 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: manages all this all these other things for me. And 175 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: so I said, hey, what's the deal with my insurance? 176 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: She goes, well, first of all, you have a five 177 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars deductible, which means I get five thousand dollars 178 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: before I start to get anything back. And my backpack 179 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: up like twelve or thirteen thousand dollars worth of stuff, 180 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: and so that I mean five grand deductibles. Oh, I 181 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: have to pay it to get the rest of the stuff. 182 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: But it's just I shouldn't left the bag and hindsight, 183 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: and I can't even blame it on just in the suit. 184 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: It's just my fault that I left my bag under 185 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: the seat. What his bag? That would have happened if 186 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: my bag was Yeah, they probably still got his bag 187 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: and still got gradies bag our drummer. But I can't 188 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: blame Justin for having his bag out for having my 189 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: stuff stolen, because if I were to have my backpack 190 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: inside like I usually carry my backpack everywhere, it would 191 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: have been stolen. Some people were like, if Joseph one 192 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: have his bag. You can't put other people's problems, your 193 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: problems on other people when you could have fixed that. 194 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: So I just got a phone called five thousand are 195 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: deductible for and I talked about Drummer his deductible like 196 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: super high two. And so it's like, oh, I feel 197 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: terrible for everybody. So that was the start of for us, 198 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: the start of the weekend. And so we drive to 199 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Fort Pierce after we sent the parking lot for three 200 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: hours waiting for a police officer to get there. All 201 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: we all have to do police reports, knowing you're never 202 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: gonna get any of it back, but you have to 203 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: file a police report to have any of course sort 204 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: of insurance claim. And so we're all doing our police 205 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: reports and everybody else they were having a grand old time, 206 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: and like they weren't happy we had our stuff stole in, 207 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: but they were just happy. It was like they were 208 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: extra happy their stuff wasn't stolen, like it made them 209 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: happier their stuff wasn't stolen. And so for the other guys, 210 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: you stop was stolen. It was like this weird like 211 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: we're miserable and you guys were having a better time 212 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: than you should be. So we again. For me, not 213 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: so much because I've been through the house robbed, I've robbed, 214 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: I've been re jumped, I've been dead threats, so whatever, 215 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: it still sucks. But the other guys were a little 216 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: upset by everybody else being in a really chipper mood. 217 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: Like at that point you gotta fake it and just 218 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: just kind of chill. Everybody's like, oh, look at the like, yeah, 219 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: so will you do that? And we're gonna be late 220 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: for the show. Four piers, I said, three hour drive 221 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: or so, so we haul to four piers get there 222 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: just in time. We really don't even get there in 223 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: time for the meat and greet we do before the show, 224 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: but we do it anyway, and we're lucky that the 225 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: listeners all knew that what had happened, and they were 226 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: so cool, and so usually we try to spend time 227 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: and talk to everybody, and we didn't get to do 228 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: it as much as time as more like, hey, thank 229 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: you for coming. We took a picture, and you know, 230 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: I signed books all the time. People still buy the book, 231 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: which is crazy, and if you're new, it's called bare Bones. 232 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: I wrote a book like eight months ago or so, 233 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: and people still buy it and they ordered off Amazon 234 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: or their bookstore and they bring in a sign it. 235 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: But we had to kind of rushed through that, which 236 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: I kind of felt guilty about, but then I was like, man, 237 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: we just got robbed. I don't know. It was a 238 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: whole We had to go on stage into a show, 239 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: and I tell you, man, it's hard to go on 240 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: stage when you're to be an idiot when you bring 241 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: like a catar show is fun. That's the We're not 242 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: gonna win any awards for being the best musical at 243 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's a really fun show. And so 244 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: it's hard to be fun after a day like that. 245 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: And so that happened, and for another one of the 246 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: little kinks was inside my bag. Something I wouldn't talk 247 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: about on the radio. Is that I had the medication 248 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: I take for anxiety, and so I've been peeling back 249 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: from the new Eventually the next few months, I'm gonna 250 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: get off of it all the way. But in my book, 251 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: I wrote about when I was on sleeping pills because 252 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't sleep well because of the anxiety. And I 253 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: was on sleeping pills for a long time and I 254 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: just stopped taking them. One day. I was like, you 255 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: know what, I'm out. And I went through severe withdraws 256 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: like tremors and vomiting and I couldn't see straight. It 257 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: was almost a week of just body awfulness, and I've 258 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: never experienced anything like that. And I didn't even know 259 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: what was happening really at the time until I was done, 260 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: and it was I was really an awful experience. And 261 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: I was like, man, if I ever have to get 262 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: off something again, you just start tapering down, taking a 263 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: little less, a little less less. So that's what I'm 264 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: doing now with my anxiety medicine. So I call my 265 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: doctor and I'm like, hey, listen, they stole my medicine 266 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: that is not taking for a couple of days, Like 267 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm fine not taking it for a couple of days 268 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: and I'll just get back home and take it there. 269 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: And he's like, no, if you just stopped taking it completely, 270 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: you will have withdraw. And he said, and as your physician, 271 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I can't tell you to do that because people can 272 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: get severely sick or even worse if you go through 273 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: a draw. So what happened was way to call in 274 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: a prescription and I only needed for like one day. 275 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: I needed a one day prescription. It wasn't like, uh, 276 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: ended a new prescription and nobody would fill it because 277 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: it was like coming from a different state and it 278 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: was and so it's just such a pain in the butt. Finally, 279 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: um drug store. But what we had to do was 280 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: submit the police report with the prescription and say we 281 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: don't need a full prescription. And so that was a pain. 282 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: But as I started to like pulled back from this 283 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: because I would take because right now I'll take like 284 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: three a day. Right now I'm wanting to only take 285 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: in two a day. But I'm getting like these weird 286 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: headaches in the back of my head, like I could 287 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: feel like minor withdraw stuff and my eyes get blurry 288 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: at times, and so I guess that's just what's gonna 289 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: have to happen for the next two months or so. 290 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go from two probably a one and a 291 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: half to one and do it that way because I 292 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: cannot go through that struggle again. I mean, it rocked 293 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: me for a week, and I didn't know that you 294 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: could really suffer terrible consequences if you just went cold turkey. 295 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: But uh so I'm doing that now with this, with 296 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: this medicine. Now, it's not something we'll talk about in 297 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: the air. Um, which is why I didn't watch Walking 298 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: Dead last night as a matter of fact, because I 299 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: don't want to get all amped up and did not 300 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: have any medicine, and then because I wasn't taken I 301 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: would take them my full medicine and I can feel 302 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: it like I can actually, but I just got to 303 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: find a different coping technique. I gotta go to a 304 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: like a psychologist, a psychiatrist or sit side therapist of 305 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: some story. I gotta get back into that and started 306 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: like fixing myself mentally. I gotta take care of myself better. 307 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: And it is with being on the road too. So 308 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: that happened. Then we go and we're doing all of 309 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: this and stuff's been stolen medicine trying to go and 310 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: I feel like an addict because I'm going into these 311 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: places and we can't give you this medicine. And I'm like, okay, 312 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: but you know, people come in all the time looking 313 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: for medicine, like making up lies and excuses or stealing no. 314 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: And I'm just like my doctor's on the phone. I 315 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: gotta play sport, you know, and I feel guilty, and 316 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm like telling my doctor, don't worry about it, like 317 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'll just have a I just feel terrible 318 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: for a day and a half and come back home. 319 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: It's like, at your position, I can't allow that to happen. 320 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: So I like a really good doctor. Probably still good 321 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: because I would have just I shouldn't say anything about it. 322 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: I should have just got it it out, but I 323 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: guess I had to let her know eventually. Um so 324 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: went through that. Then I got, you know, my medicine, 325 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: and I was feeling fine. And we go and we 326 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: play at Florida State, which was really cool because we're 327 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: playing the football stadium.

I only ever met him in the studio, 336 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: and they seemed like nice enough guys to me. I've 337 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: we've always said it, and from a couple of people 338 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: that were there and not definitely not tiled. I wouldn't 339 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: say anybody's name that said this to me. I would 340 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: never implicate anyone, but we heard they're like, yeah, they're 341 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: difficult on the road. I was like, wow, that's weird 342 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: because they're never They've never been difficult to me, but 343 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: it's always in my setting. It's always in the studio, 344 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: so no one's difficult. And really only one of them 345 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: ever even came and said hi, which was weird. But 346 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: then I started to think, what could I have done 347 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: the irritated them, because what happened. Most of the time 348 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: I'll say something joking and passing and it means nothing 349 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: to me, but I can definitely see how it would 350 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: bother someone. So I was like, what have I said 351 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: about old dominion that would make them upset at me? 352 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: Because one, I've only had this one road experience with 353 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: them and granted didn't go well, but it can be 354 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: any list of possibility. I'm sure people would deal with 355 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: us and occasionally things don't go well. And I was like, 356 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: there was that time the Eddie and I were making 357 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: fun of and it's a good song to song for 358 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: another time where it has like all the the lyrics 359 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: and titles of other songs, and I was like, yeah, 360 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: what if we did that with you know, stand up 361 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,959 Speaker 1: joke comedy jokes? And I just took a stand up 362 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: comed joke from every comedian and made a whole set 363 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: about we were just making a joke about that. And 364 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: so I thought that I actually think the song is 365 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: really good, but that probably got back to I started 366 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: thinking about it. I was like, yeah, that probably got 367 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: back to them, and they probably are irritated at me 368 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: for that if it did, or if not, they just 369 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: don't like me, you know, one of them, which this 370 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: is a really good song, but you know, the joke 371 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: was this is all stuff from other songs, So it 372 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: was you create lots of you know whatever. You can 373 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: write a book with chapters like here's this moby Duck chapter.

That was it. That was my 379 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: experience with them. Um. I would like to have you 380 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: know one of those guys in they're all really good 381 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: songwriters who made a band, and now that that's why 382 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: all our songs are so good. I really like all 383 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: Dominion too. But they listen, I would imagine that they're 384 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: irritated at me for the jokes about the song. And 385 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: my response is I'll probably take something else to hear, 386 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: take you too. I didn't even think about it. If 387 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: I started thinking about irritating people by making jokes, I 388 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: can on their bill to make a joke. Damn.

I mean, there's really nothing bad. 397 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: It's just my experience.

I was like, yeah, I mean, yeah, there, 434 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: they are a lot worse than a thief. I'd read 435 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: as me still my backpack and like murder someone. So uh, 436 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: it was cool to play Florida State though, because one 437 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders played there, and so I texted on picture 438 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,959 Speaker 1: of me on the scoreboard playing and he was like 439 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Danny Doggy playing in the stadium and I was like yeah, 440 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: And I didn't tell them we were only playing like 441 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: half because the stage was like only playing like the 442 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: half of it. It wasn't like Kenney Chestney where the 443 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: entire stadium was watching. It was only happy it and uh, 444 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: I I just let him think it was the whole stadium. 445 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: I just showed this the picture of me on the 446 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: jumbo where I was like, yeah, dude, we're playing the stadium. 447 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: So that was good. Uh. Came home, went to bed. 448 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sleep number bed. You always sent me talking 449 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: about my sleep number bed and how it's changed my 450 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: life and listen, like I said, I don't sleep well anyway, 451 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: but without my sleep number bed, it would just be terrible. 452 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: Last night, my sleep number setting it was my I 453 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: Q was like in the nineties because I did sleep 454 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: pretty hard.

It's harder for me to get to sleep, 457 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: but when I do, I sleep a lot harder because 458 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't have that chemical in me that doesn't allow 459 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: me to go into the R E M kind of sleep. 460 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Um my sleep number setting is the thirty and now 461 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: sleep number.

I never stay with anyone on the road. 498 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 1: On the road, you try to save money because hotels 499 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: cost money. I gotta pay for everybody's hotel and so 500 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, I am people share rooms. You get two 501 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: beds in your share room. Like I don't even make 502 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: the girls, say the guys, but like Nikkida will stay 503 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: with our basis Ryan, they're both females. They stay in 504 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: the room together. Eddie and a mod share room that 505 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: kind of thing. I'll keep my own room. Listen, I'm 506 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: my never hotel rooms. I'm bomba. I'm paying for my 507 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: own room, right. But it was like, I don't think 508 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: I can do that if I have a girlfriend on 509 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: the road. I don't think she and there was an 510 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: odd number of girls, so I wasn't gonna buy it. 511 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: Just financially was a good decision. And I was like, 512 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: I never had a room by myself on the road. 513 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Is it's gonna be weird? And it was No, it 514 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: was actually great because then she was like, this is 515 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: how cool Lindsay is. We got back from the show 516 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: in Tallahassee after we played Florida State and we've had 517 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: no food. They didn't have any food there, so then 518 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: usually there's there's always catering. If it's a multi level 519 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: show like that, when we go like a Raging India show, 520 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: we have what's called a writer and on the rider 521 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of food. Back there's like 522 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: ham and vegetables and stuff, but there is a catering budget, 523 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: so you can go and get food from a restaurant. 524 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: And there's a runner always because we do big theater 525 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: shows for two thousand people or so. Um. But this 526 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't our show. It was kind of like a 527 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: joint show. And there was no food, and why I 528 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: went was starving, and so I get back in the 529 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: Arkansas game is on, and she went and got food 530 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: to go and got at uber and picked it up 531 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: herself or bought it all back to us. And I 532 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: was like, dang, that's cool, because I don't want to 533 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: leave the Arkansas game. And I was like I gave 534 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: every one of those halfway, Like I'll go with you 535 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: if you want hardcore, because listen, if like the Canadian 536 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: Curling Championships we're on, I probably go get food for her. 537 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: But it was the Arkansas I lost you. We were 538 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: getting killed, and she was like watch the game and 539 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: it's important to you. And she went to Ted's. I've 540 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: never been to Ted's, Ted's Steakhouse, Ted's Meat House, Ted's, 541 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: It's a chain. They had one here in Nashville. So 542 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: she went and picked it up and that's what wait 543 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: for dinner. It was really good, by the way, Ted's, 544 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: Ted's Meat House or whatever you called. Uh. So that's 545 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: anyway that that was cool that she went out and 546 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: did that. Cool chick.

So she texted him and was like, hey, 559 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: should come out to the show. And I was like, 560 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: he's not gonna come. He knows Lindsay. But I was like, 561 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Scotty is like me, he doesn't want to bother anyone. 562 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: So he's going he agrees, he's gonna go out to 563 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: the show with Lindsay in Kansas City and go and 564 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: be at the show and watch and stuff.

I lived in Kansas City 567 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, come on, of course I 568 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: remem Really, what are you talking about. We grew up together. 569 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: I forgot completely and I didn't know exactly where Lindsay 570 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: was playing. I didn't even know if she was going 571 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: to get so many levels. I didn't know. And I 572 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: got all the credit for it. And you know what, 573 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: she'll let me have the credit because she didn't care 574 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: about that. She just like, she's just she's just a 575 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: good person. So yeah, that happened. That that was that 576 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: was a thing. Um, I'm trying to think if there's 577 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: anything else, anything else I haven't touched on that that 578 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: I should touch on. Well, it looks like the dynamic 579 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: now between you doing a show with Londy now that 580 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: you guys are officially together. Uh, same, except for everyone 581 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: now knows we're together, and so I always do one 582 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: thing on the show where I like come over and 583 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: like kiss it on the cheek or something, just so 584 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: because everybody's thinking it. Everybody's like, Okay, we know you're together, 585 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: so are you gonna act different? And we don't. And 586 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: it depends on who's playing with us, because Adalie Stovall, 587 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: who plays fiddle, has done a lot more shows with 588 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: us this year, and so Natalie when she's in the bench, 589 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: Natalie players are right beside me. But if Natalie is 590 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: not there, Lindsay does. And so Lindsay was right beside 591 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: me because Natalie wasn't there, and so it was Lindsay. 592 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: And then Christian Bush um who by the way, has 593 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: a Grammys and c m as and he's playing with 594 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: raging idiots. That that's a good dude, like Christian Bush 595 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: was in sugar Land and Christian Bush now has you know, 596 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: his own stuff, but I mean that he is such 597 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: a good dude. Like I just like being around that guy, 598 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: Christian Bush, and I actually wrote every day is a 599 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: good Day together and wrote on a Raging Idiots record, 600 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: She's at ten, I'm a two. So I got to 601 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: know him a little bit because we didn't know each 602 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: other at all, and we both are represented by C 603 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: A A as far as our musical agents, and they 604 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: were like, hey, Christian Bush is around here, and I 605 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's cool, and I've never met him before. 606 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: The like you love him because he's such a positive person, 607 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: and um he Christian doesn't live in Nashvilles in Atlanta, 608 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: and he's like you guys would get along because you're 609 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: both kind of private when you're not super public. And 610 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: so we just talked to the Layer like, hey, I'm 611 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: writing a song for this dope record. He was like, 612 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: I love to man.

It's like, I don't 616 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: know what's like your mantra. I was like, I don't know. 617 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: Every day is a good day. I try to live 618 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: by goes. Let's do it. And so that's where it started. 619 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: And then we came back again and wrote She's a 620 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: ten em A two or maybe the opposite order, whatever 621 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: the case was, great, dude. All I'm thinking on stages 622 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: is that there's like a Grammy Award winner playing guitar 623 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: for me, and I'm the lead singer. I'm the worst 624 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: singer of the whole group, by the way, and I'm 625 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: the lead singer, and I got a Grammy winner, a 626 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: freaking guitar salvant. I mean, Eddie and I are both 627 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: we're the worst two in the band. Now, if I 628 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: could sing, I'd be an excellent front man because I'm 629 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: very entertaining and I've learned how to do our show. 630 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: I said before, I learned how to do a great show. 631 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: Why I just include everything and keep everything moving around. 632 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: And it's a really The show now that we do 633 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: is reging it.

Used to be like, oh, we don't come 636 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: because we're suck. I've dropped that because the show is good. 637 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: Listen again, it's not Chris Stapleton.

He trying to look at and so 660 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm in this not an argument, because there aren't arguments, 661 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: but we're in the strategic conversation. My manager, Mary Force 662 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: and I are like which picture to use, Like you 663 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: should use one or your really good looking and I 664 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I don't like that because then people 665 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: are gonna think I'm going for this like good looking 666 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: thing and I'm not even that good looking. Anyway, I say, 667 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: we go with the dope picture with just in my head. 668 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know which one we're gonna use yet. 669 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: I gotta like at him again tonight because I sent 670 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: it to Lindsay and I was like, what do you think? 671 00:34:54,640 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: Because my whole humorous self deprecation and if I'm like, 672 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: even if you're not good looking and you're trying to 673 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: look cool, you come off it's kind of a d bag. 674 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: There's a fine line to walk in this, and so 675 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to figure out. And by the 676 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 1: time you hear this, we may have a picture picked 677 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: out to mab see there's either me with a head 678 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: looking up just my head that's the dopey one, or 679 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: like me with the black brick wall background when I'm 680 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: like smiling to the side, that's supposedly the hot one. Listen, 681 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: I'll think out the one and them are hot. But 682 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see what Lindsay says, because she kind 683 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: of gets the whole. Everybody gets it. Everybody has opinions. 684 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: They're like butt holes. Everybody's got one. But that's what's happening. 685 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: People are asking me, I'm not talking more about the election, 686 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: and there's no word. There's no way for me to 687 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: win because I don't have a person. And this is 688 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: what I learned. Making fun of both of them makes 689 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,720 Speaker 1: everybody mad. You don't even get half of a victory. 690 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: You don't even just piss off half the people. You 691 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: get everybody hating you. It's not that people respect that 692 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: you're fair and make fun of both of them. It's 693 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: that when you make fun of one of them, the 694 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: half of the people hate you. When you make fun 695 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: of Yeah, they don't know the rest of it. So 696 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: I just stopped talking about it because there was no way. 697 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: If I would have had someone that I was like 698 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: completely for it felt wonderful about and I was like, 699 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: this is my person. Although to tell you, I haven't 700 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: had that, like three I just don't believe in politicians. 701 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: It's not even a little bit. This time. I trouble 702 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: with both of them, but even the last election, I 703 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: just have trouble with politicians in general. So it's hard 704 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: for me to endorse anyone. And Secondly, people don't care 705 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: about celebrity endorsements, Like people really don't care. I don't 706 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: know one person that goes Miley Cyrus is voted for him. 707 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: Well count me in. People don't care about celebrity endorsements, 708 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: and you alienate yourself. So as a business move, it's 709 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: a bad move. Now you have to wonder and you 710 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: have to weigh isn't important enough to me? Because I 711 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: get some people that are like, it's important enough to 712 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: me as a citizen to ago and support this person 713 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 1: publicly and maybe bring these views to the public forefront 714 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: that maybe people aren't seeing. There's that risk, and I 715 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: understand that and I respect that. It's like artists that 716 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: don't do cover songs because there's something that we cover 717 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: songs on the show, and I'm like, I understand it, 718 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: but I'm also not gonna have you on. So I 719 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: respect it and understand that that's your thing. But I 720 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: gotta look at my audience and they don't want an 721 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: unknown song they've never heard and from an artist that's new, 722 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: So it's not gonna help me with ratings. And so 723 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: unless you just blow away good like Stapleton, he could 724 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: come in and play whatever you want to care. But 725 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: when they're artists that are just pretty good and they 726 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: don't want to play a cover and it's just unfamiliar 727 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: and the artist is unfamiliar, I'm always like, you know what, 728 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna pass. And sometimes it's a source of contention 729 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: because there's been a few artists that's happened with where 730 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: they're like, you know what, we just don't do covers, 731 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I respect that. As an artist, that's 732 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: what you do. I'm glad and I hope you hold 733 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: true to that. But I as my own radio show artiste, 734 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: I can't put that on because it's not the best 735 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: painting I can paint for the listeners of the show. 736 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,479 Speaker 1: And so um the same thing. You know, I see 737 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: where it means a lot for people to endorse a candidate. 738 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: If you're just looking at it business, it's not a 739 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: good business move. But as a person, we feel like 740 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: that's more important than your business. I completely get it 741 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: and understanding respected it me. I don't have anybody anyway. 742 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: But I learned, don't be against both of them. Just 743 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: shut up instead of being against both of them, because 744 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I was just getting hammered. I was just getting by 745 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: both sides. And it doesn't bother me to get hammered, 746 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: because I've been getting hammered my entire life. Whenever you 747 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: do anything polarizing or anything with an opinion, the vocal 748 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: minority of against your opinion always comes out and slams you, 749 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: and you just get used to it because nobody ever 750 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: goes to a website and goes, hey, I came all 751 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: the way over here and clicked here you are ill, 752 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: and come over and just send you a message to 753 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: tell you I really enjoyed this segment today. No, people 754 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: just enjoy a segment and they don't go anywhere. But 755 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: people get irritated that caused them to create. It's an action, 756 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: and they're like, I'm so mad, I must voice it somewhere, 757 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: So I must go to their page and tell them 758 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: how bad they suck. And so you do something that's 759 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: positive and good people like it and they just accept 760 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: it and they thank you in their own mind and 761 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: they move on with their day and it helps them pleasantly. 762 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: But if they don't like it, they want you to 763 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: know they didn't like it. So it's just a world 764 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: you have to understand. And I always get irritated when 765 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: celebrities go, I'm just not gonna let internet trolls bring 766 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 1: me down. Don't be a celebrity. If you're worried about 767 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: don't put yourself on social media. If you're worried about 768 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: internet bullies. Now, kids getting bullied by kids at school 769 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: and internet, that's a whole different thing that they're not celebrities. 770 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: Once you become a public figure, people are gonna come 771 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: after you. Now, if they're threatening your life or your 772 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: likelihood or your kids, it's a different story. But if 773 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: they're just saying you're ugly, you're stupid, you're fat, you're 774 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: not funny, then don't be a celebrity and get on 775 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: Twitter because that's going to happen. There's a story about 776 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: Miranda Lambert, like, Branda Lebert's not letting Internet bullies take 777 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: her down. She's taking a stand. You're a celebrity. This 778 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: is what happens when your celebrity. People will say they 779 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: you give them access because it helps you, It humanizes you, 780 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: and in return, people are real dicks and you just 781 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: have to take it. And you can block people and 782 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 1: block all the time, like I have no shame I 783 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: blocked people that aren't even dick. Sometimes sometimes I just 784 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: get irritated to people like I don't care that Hillary 785 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: Clinton says this for the eleventh time. I know you're 786 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: not being a dick, but I don't care. I don't 787 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: care that Donald Trump has done there, Like I just 788 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: don't care. And I'm getting tired of seeing your tweets 789 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: on my timeline, So mute then block in that order. 790 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: But most of the time I have the right to 791 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: block you. You You have the right to message to me, 792 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: everything's good, don't threaten me, don't threaten anyone safety. But 793 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: part of being a public figure is what comes with it. 794 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: Your public and people can say things about you publicly, 795 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: and that's part of the deal. And so I stopped 796 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: talking about the election period on the show. The only 797 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: thing we talked about was raised Bet because there just 798 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: was nothing that I could say positive that made any sense. 799 00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to make fun of both of 800 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: them all the time, because there's always as someone who 801 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: looks for the humor and stuff there's always humor and stuff, 802 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: and when you do that, people get mad at you. 803 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: So it just wasn't worth it. So I'm done. The 804 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 1: election is over. I think you know, as a country, 805 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: it is now what it is. And I do agree 806 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: that if you voted for Donald Trump probably very happy 807 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: right now. If you didn't vote for Donald Trump, it's 808 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: tough and you're like, what do we do because you 809 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: probably disagree with a lot of the things that he 810 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: said and stood for, and but he is going to 811 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: be the president. He's not done anything as president yet. 812 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: That's really obnoxious or insult It's almost like he gets 813 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: a fresh white board, a fresh president white board, and 814 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: let's see what he does. That's how I look at 815 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: it in my mind, like I can't complain about Donald 816 00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: Trump the president yet because he hasn't been the presce 817 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: it um. But that's just me. I feel like I 818 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: should give him a chance. I respect the office of 819 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: the presidency, and for me not to give someone a chance, 820 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: you guys, I didn't vote for Donald Trump, so I'm 821 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: not saying this is a trumper. For me not to 822 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: give someone a chance, I feel would be being hypocritical 823 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: of what I've always said I respect the office and 824 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: until unless until it doesn't deserve that person doesn't reserve 825 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: deserve the respect. So yeah, I hope he. I hope 826 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: he gets in and crushes it. I hope anybody gets 827 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: in and crushes it. This is our country we're talking about. 828 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: As much as you hate him, wouldn't it be awesome 829 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: if he went in and did wonderful for everyone? Can we? 830 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: This is my whole beef of politicians. One, they're mostly 831 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: rich when they get in office. That's how they can 832 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: run for office because they don't have to have a 833 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: real job. That's why most normal people aren't politicians because 834 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: normal people don't have the money to go run for office. 835 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: And it's a real rich person thing to do to 836 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: go try to be a congressman. But as if you 837 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: have a nine to five job, or you're a mill 838 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: worker like my stepdad, or an accountant or a waiter 839 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: or whatever your job is, you don't have time to 840 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 1: go and campaign to be this politician. So normal people, 841 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 1: for the most part aren't politicians, and that's why we 842 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: end up with people that aren't that normal running all 843 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 1: of our government. They don't understand what normal people are 844 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: going through. And my all point is that is I 845 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: think now I can be president. Honest to God, after 846 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: watching what happened, I think I can be president of 847 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: the United States. I never used to think that because 848 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: I was like, I, you probably need to have some 849 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: sort of military background, and I definitely don't have the 850 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: balls for that. Never did. I'm a weenie boy, and 851 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: people in military got big old go neds even and 852 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: I say that man and woman. I just mean, that's 853 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: a brave thing to do, and I don't have the 854 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 1: heart for that. Or you need to be an attorney 855 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: and know the law and be a lawyer, or or no, 856 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: it's about it, And I was like, I'll never be 857 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: any of those, So I don't now a Donald Trump 858 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: winning it. It's just like, Okay, let me see I 859 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: get really famous and then be a good person and 860 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: i'mber president, okay, Like it's it's almost inspired me to be, 861 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: like I really because I've always said I'll run for 862 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: office one day. I've always thought that forever, since being 863 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: like eight years old. But I wanted to do this 864 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: for earlier. I'm doing what I love right now, but 865 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: eventually never be a time where I'm just not getting 866 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: ratings anymore. Or I just don't enjoy waking up at 867 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: during the dur in the morning anymore. I don't know. 868 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: And I'm telling my thirties right now, at fifteen years, 869 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 1: I could decide to do it and still be relatively 870 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: young to do that. But it has shown me that 871 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: if I want to be a freaking president, at least 872 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: I got a shot. I can take a run at it. 873 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: And as crazy as that sounds, I believe it is 874 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: all my heart that nuts to you. No, Like, that's 875 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of what I take away from it too. I 876 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: was like, whoa, I mean, he didn't do anything good politic, 877 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: a rich guy that had a message and it resonated 878 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: with people. If this career works out for me for 879 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: another ten years, I will be fine financially at the 880 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: at the level I'm at now, I'll have money to 881 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: go take a couple of years and go run prothers 882 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: and if I make it great. If I don't, yeah, 883 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 1: I guess I listen. I go back to doing radio 884 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: or TV or creating ad campaigns or something. But this, 885 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: the one thing about Donald Trump winning has shown me 886 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 1: that if you just have a message that resonates, good dad, 887 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: what however you feel it was people take that and 888 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: you can inspire people like there have been great leaders 889 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 1: that have inspired just people through words and through speeches 890 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: and through actions. And I mean, if anything, it's showed 891 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,240 Speaker 1: me that the presidency, the thing that we hold highest, 892 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: really can just be one by the right person at 893 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 1: the right time, with the right message. And so maybe 894 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: this podcast gets looked at in twenty years as I'm 895 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: president of the United States. Somebody goes day or I 896 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: get fired tomorrow, and then I just moved back to 897 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,200 Speaker 1: Arkansas and we'll move back to Austin and I don't 898 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: work at ad agency or something, and it never comes out. 899 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: You know, who knows. But anyway, that's the deal with that. 900 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: Anything else you want to know, Mike, I'm just with 901 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 1: the future president right now. I know it sounds ridiculous. 902 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: I believe it in all my heart that if I 903 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 1: work toward it, I can do it. But I believe 904 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 1: that I believe that to have something really big happen 905 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: for you, you have to see it and envision it 906 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: and know that it can happen, for it to happen, 907 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: and not give up on it happening even when it 908 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Seventy two times in a row. I've told 909 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: the story before. I get rejected thirty times plus for 910 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: radio jobs like fire, not fire, but no, you're not 911 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: good enough. No, And I'm talking about small markets. Tiny 912 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: radio station will tell me you're not good enough. And 913 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: so I finally got my first tiny radio station. And 914 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: then I would apply to medium STAPs like you're not 915 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: good enough, you're not good enough, You're not good So 916 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,439 Speaker 1: I would just work and get better, and I would 917 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: use that. To me, I see adversity as a tool 918 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: to get better, and I think that's the key to 919 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: what I have been able to do. Using adversity as 920 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: a tool and surrounding myself with great people. Those two things, 921 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 1: to me, have been the keys to the success of 922 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: me and other people that I see trying to do 923 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: big things. You have a vision, You're not gonna get 924 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: anything you don't see. Listen, You're never gonna be the 925 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 1: president of a company if you can't see yourself being 926 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: the freaking president of the company. Like you want to 927 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: be the president of the company and you're working in 928 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: the mail room, start thinking in your head, I want 929 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: to be the president of the company. What are the 930 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,720 Speaker 1: eleven steps I have to take? To do the president 931 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: of the company. What's the first step? And then you 932 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: take the bigger goals and then you start to figure 933 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: out the steps in betwe them. Because when I was 934 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 1: working radio and Hot Springs, Arkansas, I was like, this 935 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 1: great is my hometown, but like, I want to be 936 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: a national show, a national morning show. I was doing 937 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 1: nights at eighteen years old. I was like, I wanna 938 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: be a national morning show. What are the steps. Step one, 939 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: get to a bigger market doing nights. Step two, get 940 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: to a bigger market doing nights. Step three, either go 941 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 1: bigger or take a morning show of the same size 942 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: or smaller. So I leveraged it into a morning show 943 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: of the same size. I was like, Okay, now I 944 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,240 Speaker 1: want to syndicate. Took a big risk to the money 945 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: that I was making. Was making fifty grand a year, 946 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: and I took half of that, if not more, and 947 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: invested that back into myself and going to get it, 948 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: buy the equipment, gotta do this, paid Atlanta salary myself 949 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 1: out of my own money, and I just believe that 950 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: I could do it. And you know what, I wouldn't 951 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: have bet on me in a million years. But I 952 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: was an idiot who just saw this great vision and 953 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: chased it. You're never gonna catch that great vision unless 954 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: you chase it, and you're gonna fail a lot of times. 955 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: I failed one like I felt for every success that 956 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 1: I have, I have twenty failures. But that's not what 957 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,280 Speaker 1: people know you for. That's not what people see you doing. 958 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: People only see the successes. I had an uncle who 959 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 1: was UM. He since died. He was a an alcoholic 960 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 1: UM and he died of alcoholism. He's my mom's brother. 961 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: Alcoholism and runs in my family really bad. He was 962 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,359 Speaker 1: also a I had a gambling addiction UM in which 963 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,720 Speaker 1: I did too for a while, and I have stopped 964 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 1: gambling completely because I was getting out of control. Also 965 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: wrote about that in my book, where I couldn't stop gambling. 966 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: And it wasn't gambling in general. It was just poker. 967 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 1: But I get obsessive about things, and I was reading 968 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: books and I was playing online, and everything I was 969 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: doing was that radio show on poker, and that's all 970 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: I was doing. But he would tell me, and this 971 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: is a lesson that I still remember from my uncle. 972 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: He said, listen, with gambling, people don't remember your losses. 973 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,319 Speaker 1: He said, I probably lost a lot more money than 974 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: every one in my life. But when I make it, 975 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: when I hit it big, you're always like, man, I 976 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 1: hate it big. Today. People only remember when you bring 977 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: them those big wins. And so people only remember the 978 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: fact that I started my all morning show and with 979 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: my own money and became a syndicated show because I 980 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 1: went and did it myself. You know what many stations 981 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: like had us and dropped us and didn't take us, 982 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,879 Speaker 1: and how much of the equipment didn't work forever like 983 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: more than not. And then we finally got it to 984 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: work after so much failure, and then people are like, oh, 985 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,359 Speaker 1: look at this guy who's comes to Nashville and has 986 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: all these God the first two years of my existence 987 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,839 Speaker 1: were miserable here, miserable. I didn't listen. I don't fit 988 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:35,280 Speaker 1: in now. But somewhat I have leaned towards the culture, 989 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:36,799 Speaker 1: and some of the cultures leaned towards me a bit 990 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,720 Speaker 1: here as well, And so it's been a nice little 991 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: let's meet in the middle, and both of us understand 992 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 1: that we're both going towards the same goal, but we're 993 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 1: not doing it the exact same path, meaning the old 994 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: Nashville establishment and myself, but it's it's you get these 995 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 1: victories anytimes. How many TV shows have said, hey, come 996 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: to l an audition and I did, just didn't get it, 997 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: I mean, but you just keep plugging away, and then 998 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: I'll get one and then the show doesn't make it, 999 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,440 Speaker 1: and I get a huge one and it gets picked up, 1000 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:15,320 Speaker 1: and then for reasons of relocation, I can't make you 1001 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: keep on chucking. I got one right now in production 1002 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: of my production company, my Teeth First Company, and then 1003 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 1: one that I'm the host of, and they're both still 1004 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: in play right now. And if they both fall out, 1005 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,319 Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get out 1006 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: the next day and go all right back at it. 1007 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: How can I get at it again? And those are 1008 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 1: the winners in live. It's not the people that do 1009 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: it right. It's the people that don't give up. Those 1010 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 1: are the winners in life. Winners in life aren't people 1011 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: that are perfect. There are people that just keep on 1012 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 1: pushing all the time, and you're like, well, that must 1013 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 1: be easy. Look at this. Look at Tim mcgrawl, He's 1014 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: a superstar man life. Tim mccrawl was grinding it out 1015 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: in the apartment with no heat for years, years, but 1016 00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: we only see the successes. But no, that forever, very 1017 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: huge example of person, you see, unless they were just 1018 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 1: giving a whole bunch of money that it was a grind. 1019 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: That's what I want to be a politician, though, because 1020 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: I think I come from a normal person world, or 1021 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: a lot of politicians don't. I come from a normal 1022 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 1: person world of growing up having to know what it's 1023 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,720 Speaker 1: like to see struggle, and then I lived struggle and 1024 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 1: I've done the whole ground myself by the bootstraps thing. 1025 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,240 Speaker 1: And I don't say that in a way of bragging, 1026 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 1: but I say it in a way if I want 1027 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: to motivate other people to know that you can do 1028 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 1: the same freaking thing. I don't have any great talent. 1029 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 1: I have no great talent. Nothing about me is absolutely great. 1030 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: Nothing about me is talented enough to be in the 1031 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: position that I am except for persistence and drive. That's it. 1032 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: If that's a that's not a talent though, that's just 1033 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 1: an ethic. And so that comes though from being a 1034 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: normal person and knowing that nothing's given to you and 1035 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 1: not having a safety net. Thank you, America, good night. 1036 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be president one day, that's all that's And 1037 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: you can be president too. I don't care what you are. 1038 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,879 Speaker 1: I really feel like anybody can be president with this. 1039 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: And I don't mean anybody. I mean anybody, because I 1040 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: used to think you had to be in the military, 1041 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 1: which would lead you to a position in politics, or 1042 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: be an attorney, which will leads you to position in politics. Now, 1043 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: thank you. Used to be a person with the message, 1044 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: and if you have the right message, you can.

I need another twenty years 1083 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,799 Speaker 1: to finish, because that's not a full story. Um. And 1084 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: I was so surprised that it was like a best seller. 1085 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 1: To me, that was incredible, awesome and crazy. And I'm 1086 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: just now starting to respect it because if I just didn't, 1087 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: I didn't resonate when it first happened. But as I 1088 00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:25,800 Speaker 1: look back at it, like I say, I only enjoyed 1089 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: seeing things and pictures, I don't enjoy actually doing them. Um. 1090 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: So now I'm starting to kind of be cool that 1091 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 1: the book was a success and I can see like 1092 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 1: data that shows and the sales are there. It's like, wow, 1093 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,839 Speaker 1: I'm crazy that you buy. But they're like I was like, listen, 1094 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 1: here's what I can do. I you do a book 1095 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: of like essays, like stories, but I can't do a 1096 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,240 Speaker 1: book about my life anymore. Like you gotta essay about 1097 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: saying that my grandma used to say, I can do 1098 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: a book about that and how it relates to my life. 1099 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 1: I can do a book on whatever I just talked about. 1100 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: There you got a book on how um you can 1101 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,400 Speaker 1: be whatever you want to be whatever. I don't think 1102 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: we song about that called When I Grow Up. But anyway, 1103 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, I don't know it. 1104 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 1: I just don't know if I'm reading that writing a 1105 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 1: book process. It's not like my step network from mill 1106 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 1: It's not that kind of work.

I know I don't do 1110 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: real work. Um, but it's a grind mentally, it puts 1111 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: you in a weird place. It's weird. It makes you 1112 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: feel funny. That last book didn't anyway. Anyway, there's that. 1113 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: Thank you guys for listening.
