Speaker 3: of sick in my stomach like my I was getting
Speaker 3: really bloated. I didn't know what was wrong with me, and
Speaker 3: so a combination of things. I got some blood work
Speaker 3: done for the first time of my life the other day.
Speaker 3: Blood work came back normal. That's partly because I've been
Speaker 3: totally cleansed for like six months. But I did like
Speaker 3: a parasite clin. I did the whole thing that all
Speaker 3: the hippies do. Man, I did it, and I feel
Speaker 3: a lot better.
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: There is a point because I'm there too, man like

Speaker 2: mean our our family deals with heart health stuff, and
Speaker 2: so like I want to I want to be the
Speaker 2: healthiest I could possibly be, live as long as as
Speaker 2: I can for my kids all that stuff. But at
Speaker 2: some point in your life there there is a turning
Speaker 2: point on It's probably the same for females, but for
Speaker 2: males especially, Like there's a turn point where it's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I've been eating like ship for the past thirty something
Speaker 2: years ago. Oh yeah, and like I cannot continue to
Speaker 2: do this one because I want to live longer. Two
Speaker 2: physically it it really it really hurts to eat bad,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: And I'm a walking trash can for like for the
Speaker 3: the whole life.
Speaker 2: I was a big Max double Cheeseburger's taco belt bro
Speaker 2: all the time.

Speaker 1: He does. He does kind of have this this black.
Speaker 3: He does well, he looks like Johnny cash. I mean
Speaker 3: they cast him as Johnny Cash movie. I mean Johnny
Speaker 3: Cashman would have been even even bigger in my opinion.
Speaker 3: But yeah, but anyway, that's that's enough about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, enough about Mark. But Shadow Mark what a great guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody told me about this, but
Speaker 2: we do this thing called You're mad at It?

Speaker 2: my work tapes trying to figure out. But like when
Speaker 2: I'm in a music like, I don't want to listen

Speaker 2: So interesting just seeing what's happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not mad at anything. I am okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: yeah I'm mad. I'm mad at the way I don't
Speaker 1: feel like and I'm not I'm not trying to make
Speaker 1: this a blue thing, but I don't feel like the
Speaker 1: you know, what bash in the media is not political,
Speaker 1: by the way, you can do that, bro talk. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like they are showing an honest depiction of
Speaker 1: what's going on in Eastern Sea.
Speaker 4: And Western what's the deal with that?
Speaker 3: What's there not?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 3: We just got back from East Tennessee, my wife and
Speaker 3: I and we took.
Speaker 2: Our Hey, good on you for doing that. Good on
Speaker 2: y'all for doing the post.
Speaker 3: I don't say it just you know, for for the
Speaker 3: for sure, for the glory, for sure. You don't just
Speaker 3: the neighborly thing to do for sure. It was Kelly's idea.
Speaker 3: She said, Hey, we're going to East Tennessee today.
Speaker 1: I said, we're Tennessee, it is Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we went to East Tennessee. We took my youngest son,
Speaker 3: we took mc ruggles be with us, and we were
Speaker 3: right in the day and I said, Kelly just said
Speaker 3: you're going with us. He's like what I said, just
Speaker 3: you're going yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah. So with those yeah, I got nothing to.
Speaker 3: Do now me and we partnered with bass Pro. They
Speaker 3: donated a bunch of stuff, I mean like a ton
Speaker 3: of stuff, waters, uh, dry goods, things like that. We
Speaker 3: went over there. To your point, the media is not
Speaker 3: covering East Tennessee. Now I'm not to say that they
Speaker 3: shouldn't be covering Ashville or or Florida or Georgia wherever else,
Speaker 3: but East Tennessee is getting zero coverage. I had no
Speaker 3: idea how poverty stricken and how literally people do just
Speaker 3: when you know, when people say, oh, I didn't have
Speaker 3: much growing up, like they don't have anything growing up.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was unbelievable. So and and you know
Speaker 3: that's that's and they're prideful people, which is amazing to
Speaker 3: see because you know they're they're mountain folks, They're app
Speaker 3: it's true Appalachia.
Speaker 2: They're not going to have a common respect for that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I spent so many years touring West Virginia
Speaker 3: before ever had a hit, so that's not that far away.
Speaker 3: Same the same kind of people. But we went over there, man,
Speaker 3: and we were able to do some drop offs of
Speaker 3: some specific churches up in the mountains. The ones we
Speaker 3: could get to, I mean, most of the roads are
Speaker 3: washed out, and that kind of thing. It pisses me
Speaker 3: off too. I really wish the I really wish well,
Speaker 3: first of all, the coverage that it's getting over there
Speaker 3: in North Carolina and East Tennessee is not enough in
Speaker 3: my opinion.
Speaker 2: Bro, there's literal towns wiped away. Yeah, there's literal whole
Speaker 2: towns that will never be a town again.
Speaker 3: There's babies running around with no shoes on stuff man,
Speaker 3: like you're looking for their parents and stuff, running around
Speaker 3: in money in muddy roads that aren't roads anymore. I
Speaker 3: mean's I drove through them, so I know what it
Speaker 3: looks like. It's you know, the blacktops not there, and
Speaker 3: if it is there, underneath the blacktop is washed away,
Speaker 3: the rocks are washed away, the river's running right here.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about a trailer would be a luxury. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, to some of these places, man, I'm talking
Speaker 3: about shacks built with plywood, two by fours and tarts,
Speaker 3: and that's these people's way of life. So you know,
Speaker 3: it's really eye opening.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: We have so much to be thankful for, and we
Speaker 3: don't live One thing I realized about after we left
Speaker 3: there the other day. We don't live in reality as
Speaker 3: far as what a lot of America lives in. And
Speaker 3: something that I complain about all the time to your point,
Speaker 3: is that we don't. We have a bad habit in
Speaker 3: this country of not taking care of our own and
Speaker 3: taking care of other people. So I think that's complete bullshit.
Speaker 3: And after you see that in person, because the truth is,
Speaker 3: that's the backbone of America. That's actually too that's that's
Speaker 3: a lot of like for instance, you know we're all
Speaker 3: in country. We write and see country music. That's a
Speaker 3: lot of our country fans.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 3: Those are people who like, that's the backbone of this country.
Speaker 3: It goes, it surpasses just being able to give back
Speaker 3: to your fellow man and your fellow woman and your neighbor.
Speaker 3: It really needs to be viewed as a bigger subject
Speaker 3: in my opinion, because there's only so much that water
Speaker 3: and food can do. If you don't have If you
Speaker 3: don't have running water for three months, that's hard and
Speaker 3: you're used to it, that's hard to get that's hard
Speaker 3: to get back.
Speaker 2: And it's you're not prepared for it. You take it
Speaker 2: away right and.
Speaker 3: Then then you know you've got somebody say, well, those
Speaker 3: people not to hunt and fish and stuff, Well, yeah
Speaker 3: they know how to hunt when they have weapons.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're gone. But I'm talking abottom of some lake.
Speaker 3: But I'm talking about she's like washed down the river, dude.
Speaker 3: I mean trucks piled up against bridges and the Interstate
Speaker 3: ps by the way. We were driving these back roads
Speaker 3: and the water is still rushing. It's not like it rained,
Speaker 3: it went away. Some stuff flooded, and we're all moving on.
Speaker 1: You know. I saw a thing that is crazy from
Speaker 1: a guy that's a buddy of our, Zach Massey, And
Speaker 1: I think we Jordan and I actually talked about maybe
Speaker 1: getting him on, uh later on to give us kind
Speaker 1: of a breakdown of what's going on. But he did
Speaker 1: a video and kind of analyzed and he wasn't He
Speaker 1: wasn't putting down or make her putting lightly floods that
Speaker 1: happened in like coastal regions where the water comes up,
Speaker 1: it messes everything up, and then it subsides. He was
Speaker 1: just kind of making a point so that the layman
Speaker 1: understanding of it was basically the velocity at which the
Speaker 1: water poured from the lake onto these small towns. And
Speaker 1: I mean he did a real good job of explaining
Speaker 1: that it was basically just like a surge and it's.
Speaker 3: Like just as just a quick one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing to prepare, no, no prep we got rain coming. Uh.
Speaker 4: It was just like, so there's this.
Speaker 2: Elevated one second, it's not one second.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the ten second thing. So basically there's
Speaker 1: an elevated lake in the mountains that then all these
Speaker 1: different little communities use source water from. Well, when thirty
Speaker 1: inches of rain drops in six hours to go somewhere,
Speaker 1: it's got to go somewhere. Well, it filled that lake
Speaker 1: up and just immediately poured over the dams and the
Speaker 1: structure's not built for that. So once it's comes surging, dude,
Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a tsunami in the mountains,
Speaker 1: just coming down clear and everything out and to Chris's points,
Speaker 1: like it's still flowing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And not to mention those mountains are really
Speaker 3: if you I had never been I've been to East
Speaker 3: Tennessee a million times. I've never been to East Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Like I went to East Tennessee the other day. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a whole Yeah, we've been in Knoxville, We've been.
Speaker 3: We've been in Severeville. Unless you're getting up on the
Speaker 3: on the North Carolina border, you're not in East Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Trust me, it ain't.
Speaker 1: The mountains, The Great.
Speaker 3: Smoky Mountains are a whole different thing. Over in the
Speaker 3: mountains of Newport. Huh yeah, trust me, dude, it's a
Speaker 3: whole different world. And those mountains are like really steep.
Speaker 3: So you're driving in the canyons, which where does water
Speaker 3: go goes down here and so that water rushes mud
Speaker 3: slides off those hills. I mean there were I saw
Speaker 3: houses like on technical high ground if you will, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that were broken in half like this at the start,
Speaker 3: at the foundation and just crinkled up like this, and
Speaker 3: then and then what you just don't have anything anymore.
Speaker 3: So I guess what we would say is for anybody
Speaker 3: watching this podcast, uh the time, it's going to be
Speaker 3: a long time rebuilding process. So don't hesitate to It's
Speaker 3: not just about sending funds and sending money. It's like,
Speaker 3: does that actually get to the hands of the people
Speaker 3: who need it. Get your ass over there and and
Speaker 3: take a look. Once you see it, you'll you'll want
Speaker 3: to do, You'll want to do, you'll want to live there,
Speaker 3: and just fix it until it's better. Yeah, man, I
Speaker 3: mean really truly. And I'll tell you that the water
Speaker 3: and the food it matters.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: We pulled into one little country church and you wouldn't
Speaker 3: have been able to find this place if you because
Speaker 3: there's no GPS there. Let me shed light on this.
Speaker 3: There's no cell phone service, there's minimal electricity, zero water,
Speaker 3: no cell phone service, so you don't have a GPS,
Speaker 3: you don't have a Verizon at and T any of
Speaker 3: the services carry and you have none of this stuck.
Speaker 3: So we pull in just because my one of our
Speaker 3: in laws lives there and he's a mountain man. So
Speaker 3: we pulled in this little country church. We're gonna drive
Speaker 3: off some water. And immediately, I guess somebody saw us
Speaker 3: off the mountain and here came this lady. She had
Speaker 3: her daughter with her, and uh, and she was very kind. Hey,
Speaker 3: could you guys spare some water?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: And of course you know, no problem. Haven't been with water,
Speaker 3: been without water now for four days. I mean, could
Speaker 3: you imagine that telling your baby, oh, sorry, we don't
Speaker 3: have food and water meat. Can't everybody watching this can't
Speaker 3: comprehend totally. No, So you gotta get you gotta get invested. Man.
Speaker 3: There's been things in the past too where we've been like, oh,
Speaker 3: let's just write a check and give it to them.
Speaker 3: Then that's out of side, out of mind. That's easy.
Speaker 1: To do.
Speaker 3: That's the easy out. But once you go over there,
Speaker 3: it's pretty breathtaking. I'm glad Kelly said something because if
Speaker 3: it weren't for her, I mean, you know, guilty as charge,
Speaker 3: we would all be a little out of side, out
Speaker 3: of mind. If you're not right there in it, it's
Speaker 3: it's hard not to be.
Speaker 1: But it's like without seeing it, you know, like it's
Speaker 1: been three or four days now, and it's it's already
Speaker 1: I feel like it's already kind of slotting back.
Speaker 3: Next news cycle, next news cycle, what's going on?
Speaker 2: What's the next thing?
Speaker 3: God, that's my biggest complaint to your point is the
Speaker 3: news cycles in this country. Man. It's like here today,
Speaker 3: gone tomorrow, I know, and we forget about we forget
Speaker 3: about our.
Speaker 2: Own They want you to believe that the problem goes away,
Speaker 2: like when it goes out of your mind, it's it's fine.
Speaker 2: And this is the case.
Speaker 3: We have We as crippled the middle class. Dude, No,
Speaker 3: we have crippled the There is no middle left in
Speaker 3: the middle class. I wrote it into a song, there
Speaker 3: is no middle left in the middle class. Me Andrew
Speaker 3: Parker write that, and I just said you too, and uh,
Speaker 3: and I just it just blows my mind. It blows
Speaker 3: my mind, man, because the people that are the backbone
Speaker 3: of our nation are the ones that get shipped on
Speaker 3: the most.
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable, and they're the ones that worked the hardest.
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Part of me was wondering if maybe it's that mentality
Speaker 1: of like, here's a here's a quick example. So somebody
Speaker 1: was talking the other day and said, after being forty
Speaker 1: fifty years old, I finally asked my parents why they
Speaker 1: didn't why they didn't show me the love that I
Speaker 1: felt like they showed my brother, who was kind, I
Speaker 1: can't get right kind of guy. And the mom said
Speaker 1: to her, well, you never you didn't need it as much.
Speaker 1: And she was like, that's entirely incorrect, Like I needed
Speaker 1: it just as much as he did. And I wonder
Speaker 1: if that kind of applies to society where they go, oh,
Speaker 1: they're tough down there, they'll take care of themselves. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to a different thing. It definitely does, and
Speaker 1: it's not true, man. Those people deserve attention and help
Speaker 1: just like everybody else, regardless of whether they're tough or not. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I could do this.
Speaker 3: You fire me up.
Speaker 2: I wrote with Ray Folch yesterday and he literally after
Speaker 2: our co write, drove straight to Harlem, Georgia, where he's from,
Speaker 2: which is just outside of Augusta, and he's like, bro,
Speaker 2: my town is gone. Oh like my town is is like,
Speaker 2: there ain't food and water. They're charging twelve dollars the
Speaker 2: gas pumps for gas right now because I know there
Speaker 2: ain't no gas anywhere, so people are having to drive
Speaker 2: three and four hours to get water gas. And he's like,
Speaker 2: it's just He's like, it's a it's it's catastrophic, man.
Speaker 2: He's like, and nobody is talking about it. Nobody's talking
Speaker 2: about Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 3: It's a weird. We live in a weird times right now.
Speaker 2: For sure, Pray pray that the Lord takes care of
Speaker 2: care of all those people.
Speaker 3: He's gonna take care of it, one way or the other.
Speaker 3: I promise you no doubt, ain't no doubt. I mean,
Speaker 3: y'all better get ridy. I mean, y'all are I ain't
Speaker 3: gonna tell you nothing, but y'all better get ready watching this.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you believe in God or you
Speaker 3: believe in what you want, but I'm telling you as
Speaker 3: a Christian man. You better prepare yourself. I've preached because
Speaker 3: at some point, yeah, the rapture's happening. It's happening. And
Speaker 3: I might go down on this podcast as being the
Speaker 3: craziest bit. I don't care. I'm not I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to preach, but I'm just telling you the truth. It's
Speaker 3: gonna have.
Speaker 4: To prepare yourself.
Speaker 3: And you better prepare yourself. And you better learn to
Speaker 3: hunt and fish. You better learn to hunt and fish.
Speaker 3: If you don't know how to hunt and fish, you're
Speaker 3: in trouble to.
Speaker 1: Let's get it. You better know somebody that does.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: On a lighter note, I am mad at going back
Speaker 2: to you, going to good Will and you, I know,
Speaker 2: we all I could deal.
Speaker 4: I'm mad at toothing things. Second is super petty. Uh
Speaker 4: first one.
Speaker 2: The first one is I'm mad at that. Literally, bro
Speaker 2: there we have a shot like a sharp mop back
Speaker 2: or what a sharp mopack or something that like that.
Speaker 2: You you know, you can vacuum and mop the floor
Speaker 2: at the same time.
Speaker 3: It's things that hit songwriters good.
Speaker 2: We never, you know, the thing never, we never use it.
Speaker 4: This thing is like seventy five bucks.
Speaker 2: We never, we never use it. And the fact that
Speaker 2: I put it on the marketplace to sell is beyond me.
Speaker 2: I don't even know why this is still dude, It's
Speaker 2: been on there for two and.

Speaker 2: I said yes, and she said no thanks to me.
Speaker 2: I was like God, and I took a screenshot. I
Speaker 2: was like, this is what's wrong with people? Like this

Speaker 2: literally apologize to our photographer. But yeah, lean.
Speaker 4: Sorry, bad, my bad.
Speaker 3: She's really smirling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the deal out there. Here's why I
Speaker 2: don't know her name very well. And I'm sorry she's
Speaker 2: taking so many pictures of me. It's because I'm in
Speaker 2: a bad mood every time I'm around her. And I
Speaker 2: literally apologize to her. I apologized to her yesterday. I

Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 2: I really am not an asshole like you see me
Speaker 2: like you've only seen me.
Speaker 1: In your life.
Speaker 2: She came to my kids' birthday party, and we've had
Speaker 2: a fun time there, but like the percent of the
Speaker 2: time we hang out, she's taking pictures of us and
Speaker 2: my kids and our family and I'm all jet dressed up.
Speaker 1: Why are you get mad at that?
Speaker 2: Oh it's miserable.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's miserable.
Speaker 1: But I feel like at this point you just can
Speaker 1: kind of compartmentalize, did I not? Yeah? What else is miserable?
Speaker 2: Being a week?
Speaker 1: Okay, we did just get back. Well well first though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's be quick quick to say miserable about that.
Speaker 1: It is a hunting trip, but it was also a
Speaker 1: lot of work going on, a little bit of work
Speaker 1: going on. We tagged, We played a little Utah jazz thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're some Foundational paid some things off of anyway.
Speaker 2: Family pictures, Oh yeah, family pictures.
Speaker 1: Sorry, will you mad at anything else? So you think
Speaker 1: you're good?
Speaker 3: Oh, I can go on for days. I'll give you
Speaker 3: the first thing I agree with you, So that would
Speaker 3: be the first thing that me too. I hate people
Speaker 3: on their phone when they're when they're driving, including me,
Speaker 3: including me totally. But I hate people in front of
Speaker 3: me on their phones when I'm driving. I like to
Speaker 3: drive fast, I make no bones about it, and I
Speaker 3: will ride your ass all the way to the interesting.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I heard you were fast, real fast.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I mean, I think I've heard
Speaker 1: someone say Chris Jansen passed me this morning doing one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty on his way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I am number three Earnhart all the
Speaker 3: way when I yeaheah. So that is that's not that's
Speaker 3: the now. The third biggest thing is social media drives
Speaker 3: me on. Yeah, well here's why. Though it doesn't drive
Speaker 3: me insane, just for the people that are on it,
Speaker 3: including myself, but it drives me crazy. The censorship and
Speaker 3: social media and the censorship, especially in our country music
Speaker 3: community that nobody that nobody.
Speaker 1: Talks about that way.
Speaker 3: We all talk about streaming, we talk about downloads, We
Speaker 3: talk about this and that and this and that. Numbers
Speaker 3: and numbers matter. Numbers are full of ship, numbers are
Speaker 3: full of shit. Show me numbers is third grade map. No,
Speaker 3: it's true, it's true. You get censored if you say
Speaker 3: God's guns. Christian Republican conservative right now, literally, I do too.
Speaker 3: You have no idea, You have no idea. I'm talking
Speaker 3: about to the hundreds of thousands of people who got
Speaker 3: swapped from me from social media for what for all
Speaker 3: those things I just mentioned and.
Speaker 2: And the core values in your life, our life.
Speaker 3: Because social media will shadow ban you people people, people,
Speaker 3: shadow band they start calling you a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Well, that's because if they know you're right, they start
Speaker 3: calling you everything. It's just like you call a liar
Speaker 3: a liar if you're a liar.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: But so social media drives me crazy. It also drives
Speaker 3: me crazy on social media when people keyboard warriors like
Speaker 3: Brantley would call them like people who talk so much
Speaker 3: ship online. But they but but if they ever came
Speaker 3: across a redneck's face, they would never say a word.
Speaker 4: And you know, because they know what would happen.
Speaker 3: And you know we see them a million times a day.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm about I'm gonna close my eyes and I
Speaker 2: want you to to just walk me through the day
Speaker 2: that you just had up Colorado Mountains, where Colorado, Colorado Mountains,
Speaker 2: where you you shot your elk. I want to I
Speaker 2: would I just want to feel that day, dude.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I every I had, we had. We
Speaker 3: went with a great group of friends, first and foremost,
Speaker 3: and it's a it's thankfully it's been a yearly trip
Speaker 3: that I've been able to go on. And Kelly goes
Speaker 3: with me, and uh, Jesse, my little ten year old,
Speaker 3: goes with me and hunts with me. Georgia, our youngest
Speaker 3: daughter goes sometimes, mother in law went this year. Was
Speaker 3: it was really fantastic family event.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: I don't go on. Let me just be clear. I
Speaker 3: don't like to go on hunting trips. That don't go
Speaker 3: on hunting trips if my family, our kids are not invited.
Speaker 3: So I just don't think that's a great I don't
Speaker 3: think that's a great vibe. I just don't like that.
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna do Yeah, I know you love those,
Speaker 3: but I'm not gonna do any of that. I just
Speaker 3: don't do those.
Speaker 4: Jordan was there for all this.
Speaker 3: We go, uh, we go out and uh it was
Speaker 3: the first day, first afternoon, and well, first I'd gotten
Speaker 3: a mule deer tag, which is pretty coveted, and so
Speaker 3: I got this bow mule deer tag and we saw
Speaker 3: the mule deer first, and he was out in the
Speaker 3: you know, the the lower mountains and the plains, kind
Speaker 3: of out there amongst the sage and everything. And I
Speaker 3: spot and stalked the mule deer on foot. My little
Speaker 3: boy was right there with me. He was filming behind me,
Speaker 3: like forty yard.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: My ten year old is a total badass. He was
Speaker 3: in a deer stand this morning before I got up.
Speaker 4: He might have the state record archery.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's a he's a big time bog. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we're out there, I'm crawling around with a bow.
Speaker 3: He's like forty yards behind me with his with his
Speaker 3: iPhone kind of whispering like, hey, he's right there. Weren't
Speaker 3: you shooting? Why aren't you shooting? And I couldn't get
Speaker 3: a shot, you know, of course where I was that
Speaker 3: I ended up finding a little hole about like about
Speaker 3: a heart sized hole and flopped one in there at
Speaker 3: fifty five yards and smoked one hundred and eighty five
Speaker 3: inches mule deer. That was my first mule deer, which
Speaker 3: I'm I'm grateful for. He was still in velvet too, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: full different. The velvet on a mule deer is different
Speaker 3: than a white tail. So white tells you just like
Speaker 3: really peach fuzz, but a mule deer velvet is like
Speaker 3: actual hair. Its yeah yeah, yeah, so it's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3: But so behind us was like a creek bed and
Speaker 3: then a little I called a cindero, but like a
Speaker 3: just a basically one hundred yard opening of sagebrush and
Speaker 3: and things like that. And then it went straight up
Speaker 3: to the mountains and the draws. Well, the elk were
Speaker 3: coming down to feed in the evenings and do their deal.
Speaker 1: And I said, the same day, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: This is as I'm taking pictures with the mule deer, right,
Speaker 3: You've got screaming bulls coming down. Oh yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: there's there's screaming and they're screaming everywhere, and and so
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, so we get the pictures. We
Speaker 3: load the deer up, and we had the truck because
Speaker 3: we were driving way back into this ranch. So we
Speaker 3: had the truck, we loaded it up, hit it behind
Speaker 3: a cottonwood tree, and these bulls were screaming. I so
Speaker 3: let's just walk down this road. So we go walking
Speaker 3: down the logging road and man, there are there's bulls
Speaker 3: down in the room and they're tearing up trees and
Speaker 3: there's bulls fighting, and I mean they were like there's
Speaker 3: a whole herd of them. So it was and you know,
Speaker 3: just cows everywhere, just bleating and doing the whole deal.
Speaker 3: So come around this bend and one of them that
Speaker 3: was in the little creek in front of me kind
Speaker 3: of sees me and he darts up the darts of
Speaker 3: the river bank runs over and Pat the guy who
Speaker 3: hunts with us. He's as a longtime guide. And now
Speaker 3: this is not like, you know, okay, mister Jensen, here's
Speaker 3: the one you shoot.
Speaker 2: He's not that.
Speaker 3: This is not that kind of hunt. Yeah, this is
Speaker 3: a This is a real mountain man guide who's just
Speaker 3: you know, he's just there. And I'm glad he is
Speaker 3: because he knows it better than I do. So he
Speaker 3: hits the pew and that thing stop man threw his
Speaker 3: head over. I was drawn back at fifty two and
Speaker 3: I let it go. And as soon as I let
Speaker 3: it go, the bull turned and quartered to me. As
Speaker 3: soon as I let the arrow go, he turned and
Speaker 3: it's you know, smack, and he took off running and
Speaker 3: he fell and I'm like wow, And Jesse you can
Speaker 3: hear Jesse's filming the whole thing behind you, behind me.
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, he's down, that he's down. So we
Speaker 3: just kind of hunkered down for a minute, and the
Speaker 3: elk got back up. There were a bunch of other
Speaker 3: bulls running around crazy. You know, act.
Speaker 1: Already adrenalin is probably surging.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm assuming the adrenaline kicked in on my
Speaker 3: bull and he got up and kind of wabbled off,
Speaker 3: and I was like, how on the hell? So long
Speaker 3: story short, we look a little bit that night after dark.
Speaker 3: We gave it a few hours. We found we found
Speaker 3: some blood. We uh, just no great blood, and so
Speaker 3: we backed out, came back in the next morning, found
Speaker 3: my arrow, found the same great blood and tracked him
Speaker 3: for about seventy five yards and then and the way
Speaker 3: he went, you know, we could see in the binoculars
Speaker 3: the way he went until he went over a crest
Speaker 3: of the hill and we lost him. And there we
Speaker 3: lost all the blood. So then we started grid searching
Speaker 3: with all with all the people that you know, we're
Speaker 3: on the talk with Johnny JP all, so we're grid searching.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a tough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my ten year old found him.
Speaker 2: No, what come on?
Speaker 3: My ten year old found him and found him with
Speaker 3: my buddy JP and UH and called me and said, hey,
Speaker 3: we found some new blood. Come way back. And I
Speaker 3: was way at the mountain two miles away, like the
Speaker 3: way gone I put in. I mean, I had put
Speaker 3: in some steps. So I come back down off the
Speaker 3: mountain to meet them, and they're showing me this. I'm like, okay, cool.
Speaker 3: So I get right on the blood and I'm going
Speaker 3: around and I walk right around the corner and they
Speaker 3: all started laughing. They were filming me, and I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was so just.
Speaker 3: So I found the elk and got to him. Great bull,
Speaker 3: big mass, just awesome bull. I had hit. I had
Speaker 3: hit him when he when he stepped to me. When
Speaker 3: I shot, there's a like when your shoulder attaches to
Speaker 3: your body. There's a crack right here. I don't know
Speaker 3: what that's called, but that crack where the shoulder crack,
Speaker 3: that's what it's called, you know, the one the shoulder
Speaker 3: crack where the cartilage is and then if it goes in,
Speaker 3: so the rib cage kind of goes up behind that
Speaker 3: on you. Well, I the arrow hit right in that crack. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And went right through into the vitals and that's where
Speaker 3: the good blood was coming from. Wow, this is the
Speaker 3: meat Eater Job's Country podcast. You can tell where we
Speaker 3: talk about hunting, fishing, blood, Yeah, blood, shoulder cracks and

Speaker 3: like probably the realist podcast that I've seen, Like you
Speaker 3: got this is the real deal. Your wife's here. I
Speaker 3: love that, by the way, you know it's my wife's here.
Speaker 3: Your wife's here. So I'm gonna say this loud and
Speaker 3: publicly earlier when we were talking about the things we hate,
Speaker 3: you know, that's that's that's one thing that I personally love.
Speaker 3: But I want to but I want to say this
Speaker 3: for real. I mean this the heart. We can sit
Speaker 3: here and we can bitch about things, but what good
Speaker 3: are we doing for people listening. We're not doing anything
Speaker 3: but just bitching, and that just creates negativity. And a
Speaker 3: lot of the way that I wake up every day
Speaker 3: is trying to get rid of the negative shit in
Speaker 3: my life. And so maybe I just want to add
Speaker 3: to my point about the negativity. Thing is this, man
Speaker 3: have the we have the power to control the narrative.
Speaker 3: We as people have the power to control the narrative.
Speaker 3: So how we present ourselves is how people will react
Speaker 3: to us, right, And so when it comes to like
Speaker 3: I was talking about from the stage or from the
Speaker 3: social media thing or whatever, how we present ourselves can
Speaker 3: change that narrative. And I think the more positivity that
Speaker 3: we put out. And also I again may I say,
Speaker 3: I love getting into the things we can complain about,
Speaker 3: but because we're humans. But I think that adding to
Speaker 3: that the things that we can be grateful for sure,
Speaker 3: and the things that we can we live in such
Speaker 3: a greater picture that I don't think we even have
Speaker 3: to focus on the negative things anymore. I mean completely
Speaker 3: the things. If we want to change things, if we
Speaker 3: want to change the narrative in the way things are
Speaker 3: viewed in our country, vote, If we want to change
Speaker 3: things in the way that people are viewed in the
Speaker 3: hunting community, man, be a good representative, clean it up,
Speaker 3: be a good representative conservation if we want to be
Speaker 3: If we want to straighten out the social media crazy
Speaker 3: world and the live shows and stuff, man, straighten it up.
Speaker 3: Be the guy that they be, the guy or the
Speaker 3: girl they talk about it goes. Man, those those are
Speaker 3: that's that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I want to be So that's a great transition, and
Speaker 2: let's talk about some of your what you're doing with
Speaker 2: your partnership with bass pro and your hat and the
Speaker 2: heart of the conservatory and hunters for the Hungary and
Speaker 2: Tennessee River Keeper, like what's your where's your heart and
Speaker 2: all that, and and why do you want to get
Speaker 2: involved with that kind of stuff?
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so for the last couple of years,
Speaker 3: well since twenty seventeen, I've been a bass pro man
Speaker 3: and I'm so proud of that. And Johnny with bass
Speaker 3: Pros become one of my best buddies in JP his son.
Speaker 3: Just fabulous people, great organization and company. As you know,
Speaker 3: I told them right off the bat, after like the
Speaker 3: first week of meeting them. JP tells a story at
Speaker 3: the time he said, man Jansen called and said, we
Speaker 3: got to get a Chris Chance's signature hat. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: so we did, and this is it. It's got my
Speaker 3: signatures on it, Johnny's on the back classically, and then
Speaker 3: it's just a typical bast prohat. But when we sell these,
Speaker 3: seventy or seventy five percent goes back to conservation, the
Speaker 3: ones you just mentioned. And why is my heart in it?
Speaker 3: Because of the things actually You're exactly right. Great segue
Speaker 3: to that. Man. If we you know, we complain when
Speaker 3: we float down the heart of river about trash being
Speaker 3: in the river, we'll pick it up. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: how simple is that?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Correct?
Speaker 3: The things we complained about in life, we have the
Speaker 3: narrative to change it. So and we have the power
Speaker 3: to change it just waking up every day. So my
Speaker 3: heart's in it for that with Hunters for the Hungry,
Speaker 3: and that goes for all the rivers conservatives or the
Speaker 3: conservation everts that we do as far as the Hunters
Speaker 3: for the Hungry is concerned. There are a lot of
Speaker 3: people that don't have food. There are a lot of
Speaker 3: people that don't have water. We've been talking about with
Speaker 3: East Tennessee, Ashville, Georgia, Florida, all these places that were
Speaker 3: devastated by the hurricane. There are a lot of people
Speaker 3: things that we take for granted. And one of the
Speaker 3: things that I've we all take for granted as outdoorsmen
Speaker 3: is hunting and fishing. I mean we've just grown up
Speaker 3: doing it, you know, and so and a lot of
Speaker 3: us do it for sport. Even we're oh, then this
Speaker 3: is just a fun thing we do.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Some people survive off of that. So with the funds
Speaker 3: sold from the hat, we give a large portion to
Speaker 3: the Wildlife Federation, which pays for the processing of wild games.
Speaker 3: So anything that you you know, you shoot an extra
Speaker 3: dough and you don't have room for it in your
Speaker 3: freezer and nobody wants to take it, you can donate
Speaker 3: it to whatever whatever the Federation has, like certain processing
Speaker 3: places that they work with, and the hat pays for
Speaker 3: the hat goes to the Federation, which pays for the
Speaker 3: funds to make the process food and it goes to
Speaker 3: people for free. So we've done a lot of meals.
Speaker 1: So just so you're clear on that, the processor doesn't
Speaker 1: lose money no processing the deer.
Speaker 3: They get paid them.
Speaker 1: They get paid, yeah, but they get paid by is.
Speaker 4: Out of the Wildlife Federal, the Hunters for the Hungry program.
Speaker 3: Like if you see a game warden truck, you'll see
Speaker 3: an upside down triangles stick around whatever it is Tennessee
Speaker 3: Wildlife Federation. And so that's it, and Hunters for the
Speaker 3: Hungry is a great organization. There's plenty around the nation
Speaker 3: that do this in their own regard.
Speaker 1: But for to waste if you've got absolutely no yeah,
Speaker 1: there's always a place that will take it.
Speaker 2: And there's somebody that Yeah, and a quick Google can
Speaker 2: can give you that. And there's probably one within driving
Speaker 2: distance from where you're.
Speaker 1: At over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a spot in Lawrenceburg down there on the
Speaker 2: way to Wayne County that also does that. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of people get involved. It's a
Speaker 2: great program to feed less fortunate.
Speaker 3: It's a nice thing. So I love the conservation minded stuff.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, people have written me up now
Speaker 3: and called me a conservations which is something I never
Speaker 3: called myself. But I'm proud of it and I take
Speaker 3: it now, so I put it on all my things.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a big part of who I
Speaker 3: am and what I stand for.
Speaker 4: And you know, it's a great badge to wear.
Speaker 3: Man, it is. I thank you. And with bast I mean,
Speaker 3: we've also been able to help our veteran community a lot.
Speaker 3: You know, they do a lot with veterans, They hire
Speaker 3: a lot of veterans, and Johnny and I really see
Speaker 3: out of eye on that in a big way, and
Speaker 3: so I try to lend my efforts as much as possible,
Speaker 3: and that's led into lots of circles with lots of
Speaker 3: different people. And I think it's you know, just promoting
Speaker 3: the lifestyle of the outdoors, I mean the God's country.
Speaker 3: I mean that that goes right along with it. I
Speaker 3: mean promoting the lifestyle and living it and walking it
Speaker 3: like you talk it and actually doing it, not just
Speaker 3: putting on a camo hat, but actually getting in the
Speaker 3: woods and hunting.
Speaker 2: It's a part of the calling, right, Yeah, And it's
Speaker 2: who we are, Yeah, it's who It's who God intended
Speaker 2: us to be. And so I completely couldn't agree with
Speaker 2: you more like it is not just talking to talk man,
Speaker 2: it's walking the walk and yeah, and being about it,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Kind of the reason that we even started the Brothers
Speaker 1: Hunt and this whole thing in the first place. We
Speaker 1: were I guess at ten eleven years ago now at
Speaker 1: this point, maybe even longer, that we were at a
Speaker 1: point where we were so tired of the way hunting
Speaker 1: was being conveyed on social media. Man, it just was
Speaker 1: such a like conquering thing, like look, how bad a
Speaker 1: trendy fake as opposed to like an ethical, honestly vulnerable
Speaker 1: to live in a country where we could even partake
Speaker 1: in this thing. You know, and it was one of
Speaker 1: the reasons that we started in the in the first place.
Speaker 1: And it's taken us all over the world and and
Speaker 1: and and uh and in the same the same mindset
Speaker 1: you're in, man like portraying a sensible, you know, level
Speaker 1: of hunting that that's not just how big this thing is.
Speaker 2: You know that there's actually one of my favorite things
Speaker 2: about you too, is like like in Nashville, Nashville and
Speaker 2: and the cities all over the America and all over
Speaker 2: the country do this and in the world. But like
Speaker 2: we live in a very trendy society where where there's
Speaker 2: something that's cool, something gets portrayed on social media that
Speaker 2: somebody famous is doing, so everybody wants to do it.
Speaker 2: Hunting has, I feel like, has been a type of fisient,
Speaker 2: has been a type of that. Being an outdoorsman in
Speaker 2: this genre is becoming a thing and it is becoming
Speaker 2: cool again, you know what I'm saying. And there's a
Speaker 2: lot of guys that are coming to it, not being
Speaker 2: from it, but wanting to be from it now and be.
Speaker 4: Portrayed like that. Bro, you have your.
Speaker 2: Whole career have been that way, man, and listening to
Speaker 2: the what a top twenty five song. Now, Kelly, like,
Speaker 2: listening to what you see is what you get is Dude,
Speaker 2: you're speaking it like that, like and that's people can
Speaker 2: sing that song and not live that way. Dude, listening
Speaker 2: to that song. Man, I'm like this Cat, I me Dan,
Speaker 2: others that I know that are really truly you know,
Speaker 2: have been outdoorsmen and try to be conservationists.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 2: Like, that's what we're about. What you see is what
Speaker 2: you get, man, and you do that in a song.
Speaker 3: Man, thank you very much for saying that. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I'm living the lifestyle. I mean, you know, if I
Speaker 3: weren't here this morning, I'd be getting out of deer
Speaker 3: stand about now. Yeah, So, like I said, my little
Speaker 3: boy was in one this morning. But man, I'm you know,
Speaker 3: you can ask Kelly. Like, I'm food plotting just about
Speaker 3: every day that we're home.
Speaker 1: And my food plot is rocking with all this rain.
Speaker 3: Mine too. I'm working. I'm working the land. I'm not
Speaker 3: a farmer by any means, but I'm farming for wildlife
Speaker 3: and so, uh, you know, it's pretty awesome. But so
Speaker 3: I guess I'm pretty much a farmer.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I.
Speaker 3: Just I appreciate you saying that what you see is
Speaker 3: what you get is it is a very accurate title
Speaker 3: for me. I mean, it's a very accurate description of
Speaker 3: who I am and you know as you see, and
Speaker 3: especially even during this podcast, I mean, I just say
Speaker 3: it like it. I just say it like I think
Speaker 3: it and I don't really care. I really don't. I
Speaker 3: mean I spent a lot of years starting man, like
Speaker 3: you know, like how do you say this or how
Speaker 3: do you navigate that? Want just say what you think
Speaker 3: and with life.
Speaker 1: Funny, I have a great story about you that you
Speaker 1: don't know perfect. But it's my first It was my
Speaker 1: first introduction to you. I was I started writing in
Speaker 1: town probably about eight ish, and it was right when
Speaker 1: Whiskey Jam was getting popping. Do you remember this, like
Speaker 1: when Whiskey Jam kind of first took off.
Speaker 3: Nope, you don't keep going.
Speaker 1: So it was it was that era, right and you
Speaker 1: were playing Whiskey Jam, and it was like it must
Speaker 1: have been Okay, you going, what did Joe diffy night?
Speaker 1: Remember when Joe diff you played down there in the
Speaker 1: parking lot. It was out in the parking lot.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh yeah, that's not I broke my tooth, is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So he you had just had your first that
Speaker 1: was Whiskey Jim first, or an outdoor show at Losers.
Speaker 3: It was the it was the big ninety eight show.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well it was so you were on stage
Speaker 1: and you had just written you had to have your
Speaker 1: first rider hit with truck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, and this was twenty that was twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: I was it, Okay, okay, okay. So you said, you said, hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: Chris Jansen, Uh, it's great to be here. A great day.
Speaker 1: Both season open today. And I was like, there's another
Speaker 1: guy in the state that knows both season open. He
Speaker 1: was so pumped.
Speaker 3: I'm really only pumped up about that.
Speaker 1: And I was like, man, I gotta know that guy,
Speaker 1: because I think we were probably the only two in
Speaker 1: the crowd that knew, you know, because that in Tennessee
Speaker 1: at the time, nobody really bow hunted man, nobody. And
Speaker 1: so when you're like that, I was like, Oh, this is.
Speaker 3: A real it's a great day, this is a real
Speaker 3: this is a real.
Speaker 1: Dude right here, we're on the same plane.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you definitely uh have have lived it.
Speaker 1: Even on stage, man, you start hollering about Yeah, both
Speaker 1: season opening when the Gun season opener, it was the
Speaker 1: bust season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the that's the most important one in
Speaker 3: my opinion. It's like, but okay, so that night I
Speaker 3: do remember that. So we had me and Kelly were
Speaker 3: leaving on the road that night, and that is the
Speaker 3: night as I was singing truck Yeah, which was my
Speaker 3: first big hit single cut. And this is like, keep
Speaker 3: in mind, people out there, this is this. You know,
Speaker 3: this is several years pre buy me a boat.
Speaker 1: So oh geez, I mean it was it was two or.
Speaker 3: Three four years before buying me a boat. So I
Speaker 3: mean like we were, you know, I was. I had
Speaker 3: a super low level artist career going on and had
Speaker 3: a hit as a songwriter, so that was cool. But uh,
Speaker 3: we had a good, nice touring operation. Anyway, we're leaving
Speaker 3: on the road that night. Well during truck Yeah, those
Speaker 3: strobes were hitting so hard that I was going, I
Speaker 3: was going truck truck Yeah, and I put that microphone
Speaker 3: and it busted my front tooth out brust busted it
Speaker 3: in half. And so that night, before we left on
Speaker 3: the road, we took that bus all the way to
Speaker 3: to Franklin. That's where I met my now dentist at
Speaker 3: porcelaind Uh. Yeah. Literally, he built me a new tooth
Speaker 3: and I went on the road. So my my front
Speaker 3: two teeth are broken ones broken off because of a
Speaker 3: water hose when I was a kid. You know, oh
Speaker 3: you know that. So my buddy Philip, when I was
Speaker 3: a kid, broke my tooth out with a water hose
Speaker 3: and chipped it right in half.
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, what's swing on that hole?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you know the middle part on the end,
Speaker 3: you can you imagine? And then the microphone. I'm a
Speaker 3: I'm the world's guy who's done that the most. I
Speaker 3: think probably I've smacked myself on the face of the
Speaker 3: microphone a bunch. But but I just get into I
Speaker 3: was doing. I remember, I remember exactly what I was wearing.
Speaker 3: I remember the bustle of a photograph. Memory like that.
Speaker 2: I was doing dips one time in high school for
Speaker 2: basketball practice, and like the dip bar. So have you
Speaker 2: ever done the dip bar? It's like this is that
Speaker 2: a workout th big contraption. Yeah, It's like two coming
Speaker 2: up and then two bars going out on either side
Speaker 2: like this, So you jump up and you grab the
Speaker 2: bars and then you like do like that, and so
Speaker 2: you're doing dips like this.
Speaker 4: It's like a whatever.
Speaker 2: I haven't done it in a million years since that day, probably,
Speaker 2: but I was like, we called this thing dips till
Speaker 2: you die. And I was doing that and I was
Speaker 2: up on that thing like this, and about that time
Speaker 2: my arms gave out, died, and my tooth went straight
Speaker 2: down on that middle bar and went and it was
Speaker 2: a buzz. I mean, I was forced one. And when
Speaker 2: I was a senior in high school, and went and
Speaker 2: bounced off, and this the whole side of this ship,
Speaker 2: like this tooth right here happened.

Speaker 3: Of twenty eleven? Uh, November November thirtieth, twenty.
Speaker 1: Eleven, when it was the date?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, it's got.
Speaker 1: To be a deer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely he would have definitely, definitely been at least
Speaker 3: two ten, two fifteen here in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: We don't know anything about that, do we do?
Speaker 3: I had him at seventeen yards and here in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Wait, give us this. Well, I got to know, how
Speaker 1: does that? How does that even happen?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: How are you are you watching this deer? Year after year?
Speaker 1: Year after you? No?
Speaker 3: No, I was. I was going into hunt a different
Speaker 3: deer rut deer. Yeah, it was a late rut deers
Speaker 3: November thirtieth, never forget it. Wow, tell you what truck
Speaker 3: I had? Tell you everything? Yeah, and uh so I
Speaker 3: was going to hunt on a piece of land that
Speaker 3: I had permission on back then, Buddy Mine's place, and
Speaker 3: I was going to hunt a different deer, And as
Speaker 3: I came around the bend, the neighbor's property right across
Speaker 3: the road's big, big sanctuary, no hunting allowed, like super
Speaker 3: super against hunting. Yeah, don't love that.
Speaker 2: So love to be the property button up to that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: But it was like, you know, two lane road in
Speaker 3: between them, so same deer. Sure, So I was, I
Speaker 3: was going in and as I turned the corner about
Speaker 3: to go in the driveway standing right next to the
Speaker 3: road tending four doughs, was this the biggest deer I've
Speaker 3: ever seen ever in the wild?
Speaker 4: And like like main for I mean like typical, non.
Speaker 3: Completely typical, completely typical, completely typical. I got him on
Speaker 3: video on an old phone somewhere anyway, So whipped into
Speaker 3: his driveway and I go back and it starts pouring
Speaker 3: down rain, and I was standing there. I have all
Speaker 3: this documented, by the way, and so I'm standing by
Speaker 3: his fence and I'm like belly crawling up there, and
Speaker 3: I get to seventeen yards. You can't shoot across the road, right,
Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, so if I can just
Speaker 3: call him across the road, I get him over into
Speaker 3: this thicket shoot him. Yeah, and never happened. Never happened.
Speaker 2: You just sat there and watched him.
Speaker 3: Well, cars kept stopping, the cars kept stopping. At some
Speaker 3: point he just he got a little spooky. Never saw you,
Speaker 3: never saw him one time ever and never and I
Speaker 3: don't know if him being shot ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have heard about that.
Speaker 3: You definitely heard about it. So somewhere there's a deadhead
Speaker 3: laying somewhere and sheds you know, probably gone by now.
Speaker 3: But but the biggest deer I've ever seen was the
Speaker 3: one that got away, and I was seventeen yards from
Speaker 3: If you could have shot across the road, this would
Speaker 3: have been a done deal. Yeah, but look as you
Speaker 3: stay on legal and it ain't worth it?
Speaker 1: Man worth it? I agree?

Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 3: You got to write with him? I said, well, what
Speaker 3: cuts has he had that back then? I did't have
Speaker 3: any cuts. I didn't have anything going on, and you
Speaker 3: always want to write with somebody who has something going on.
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm not right with those guys. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and she's like, yeah you are. And so I did,
Speaker 3: and I'm glad I did because it started a lifelong

Speaker 3: Redneck Life, which is a big song in my set.
Speaker 3: Never was a radio single, but all thanks to Kelly
Speaker 3: for signing him. Yeah, Kelly's the best man.
Speaker 4: Kelly seems like she keeps you straight.
Speaker 3: Dog, I told you, want to tell you the first
Speaker 3: time I met you. Yeah, I told you that first
Speaker 3: time I met you about I said, she runs the
Speaker 3: whole operation, and uh yeah, it's it's wonderful. We have
Speaker 3: a great marriage. Might as well talk about that in
Speaker 3: this God's Country quickly because.
Speaker 2: Pulled up mic in just a little bit.
Speaker 3: So God's Country, man, I think represents probably for me
Speaker 3: a lot more. You know. Just try to be as
Speaker 3: godly of a man as I can. I think we
Speaker 3: all probably do. We fall short of it daily. But
Speaker 3: my marriage is awesome. I married my best friend. We
Speaker 3: met in Melrose Pool Hall down below. Years ago. She
Speaker 3: was doing A and R on the road here listening.
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know what A and
Speaker 3: R is artist relation, she was listening for songs by
Speaker 3: songwriters to give to artists because she worked at a
Speaker 3: record label. So anyway, I saw her for the first
Speaker 3: time there and then I fell in love with her
Speaker 3: for first sight, and then we got married three years later,
Speaker 3: and it's just a was just an amazing journey we've
Speaker 3: been on. She's my manager, and I don't know that
Speaker 3: she even loves being my manager anymore. But I can
Speaker 3: tell you that I'm pretty hard to manage in some points.
Speaker 3: But we don't know if she loves the managing pil Yeah,
Speaker 3: she loves the managing no, but but man, it's the
Speaker 3: only way. When buy Me a Boat hit, Okay, we'll
Speaker 3: fast forward to that. When buy Me a Boat hit,
Speaker 3: the only way I was comfortable being a songwriter. I
Speaker 3: had loved this life. I had lots of songs on
Speaker 3: the chart like things were going really good, and we
Speaker 3: had a little bus so our independent touring was going great.
Speaker 3: I was out of a record deal and didn't want
Speaker 3: one and wrote buy Me a Boat, and that happened independently.
Speaker 3: Most people don't know that buy Me a Boat for
Speaker 3: the first four weeks was just an independent Now I
Speaker 3: don't know that was all ours before we ended up
Speaker 3: eventually signing with Warner, which is just again, was a
Speaker 3: great deal. But I said, I'm only doing this if
Speaker 3: you manage me. Period, I'm not doing I am not
Speaker 3: doing it any other way because at that point we
Speaker 3: had been kicked around so much in Nashville, trust that
Speaker 3: that we had built it totally ourselves when everybody wants yeah, yeah, correct,
Speaker 3: So we still are just building it ourselves. And without her,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be doing this today. I would not be
Speaker 3: sitting here with you. I would not be doing anything
Speaker 3: musically if if it weren't for her, if we're not
Speaker 3: a team, then if you don't get her, you don't
Speaker 3: get me. And if you don't get me, you certainly
Speaker 3: don't get her.
Speaker 2: I mean I can speak for us too, and this
Speaker 2: thing like like kind.
Speaker 1: Of Jordan, but we definitely wouldn't be here everyone.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and this thing started the same way where
Speaker 2: she was like, hey, we we feel I feel like
Speaker 2: you should do this, but like I need to be
Speaker 2: a part of it because nobody knows y'all the way
Speaker 2: I do, and nobody can manage this thing the way
Speaker 2: I'm going to manage it.
Speaker 4: And bro it is. I mean, it's the reason that
Speaker 4: we're sitting here too.
Speaker 3: Actually, it's just incredible that you just work with your wife.
Speaker 3: I mean, that just shows what kind of a man
Speaker 3: you are.
Speaker 1: And uh wait wait, don wanted to commiment him.
Speaker 4: Appreciate that.
Speaker 3: I know it shows what Chris are you.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know you know my wife's great too.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, you know, real men, real men stand by
Speaker 3: their women. They don't just stand by themselves and then
Speaker 3: the women stands in the shadow. So I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 1: Ye man, I agree with that just the way it is.
Speaker 4: I agree with that the way it is.
Speaker 1: Well, we could go forever because you're awesome and this
Speaker 1: has been awesome.
Speaker 3: I actually like it. I mean I could talk come back.
Speaker 4: I have to come back.
Speaker 3: I know we're gonna have to edit the ship out
Speaker 3: of this because of allat'll she'll take care of it. Okay, good,
Speaker 3: great you. It's my pleasure to meet you too. I
Speaker 3: really liked your brother. First time I met him. I said, man,
Speaker 3: we're going to get along good. And it's not like
Speaker 3: and you guys know what I mean. Let's just be
Speaker 3: real with people. Everybody you meet, Just so the fans
Speaker 3: out there watching, No man, everybody says in country music, oh,
Speaker 3: we're just a little buddy community. And that's for the
Speaker 3: most part true. But sometimes we're competing against each other.
Speaker 3: And then sometimes you meet people who are right in
Speaker 3: the middle, and you love competing with them and you
Speaker 3: love working with them. And when I met your brother
Speaker 3: and now I already knew you were cool, Cassey Betherert,
Speaker 3: and he told me. But man, it's like, it's such
Speaker 3: an honor to be with people who are like mindedness.
Speaker 3: I mean, to sit in front of a sign that
Speaker 3: says God says a lot so.
Speaker 1: We ain't scared him.
Speaker 3: I appreciate them there, and I appreciate I appreciate what
Speaker 3: you're saying. We should probably make this a regular deal.
