The game you played in 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: high school? Middle school? That was my family probably high 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: school for me. I don't go to very good high school. 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: We just got it like eleventh grade. Was that when 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: Oregon Shaw comes out?

So if you're in Oregon during Oregon Trail, 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: is there a story you're proud of that? I guess 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: I didn't have a context. I didn't know people in 22 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: like Wyoming were playing this game. I thought maybe they 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: had like or something. Yeah, did you have Oregon Trail? 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: Mike d Yeah, okay, because that was we would go 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: to the computer lab and it was a big deal 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: because this is typing class. This is the only C 27 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: I ever made all through school was typing. I was 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: straight a's. You know, I was the kid probably too 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: smart for my own good. I got me in trouble, 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: but I go and the if they be. The only 31 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: B I made in high school wasn't typing. Otherwise I 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: have been a straight up four point student. How do 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: you get to be in what? You just didn't the speed? 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: We're playing trail too much? I was. I think I 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: was just goofing around too much. It was typing. Who cares? 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: And then in college, the only I made a C 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: because I made a see in French. No no, no, no. 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: But I took French because we had to take a 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: foreign language to be I studied. You know, I wrote 40 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: in college and I did radio television, and so I 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: I took French and I made a C. And that's 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: pretty this point in mind. I went to my my 43 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: teacher and said hey, I'm never going to use this, dude, 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure I deserve to see. I said, 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm never going to use this. Please, I haven't begged 46 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: for much of my life. I said, please give me 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: a C. What do you want from me? You mean, 48 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, French fries, French? What you want, I'll do whatever. 49 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: I'll make one for the class. And I didn't know 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna have and if Finally I sent my 51 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: report and it was a C. And I thought, oh 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: my god, he listened, because I don't know that I 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: deserved it. Really, you what kind of student? Were you? 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: Very bad? Really failed ping pong class once? But that's 55 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: an effort thing. Yeah, that was really just I didn't 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: want to put on jim close to play ping pong 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: and you to like get in your your like pe clothes, 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: and I just was like, no, man. But then, like 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: after three quarters of the semester not doing it one time, 60 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: it was like a hole I couldn't get out of. 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I was starting to do the math. I'm like, even 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: if I dress up every day. He's like, nope, but 63 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: that hurt your final great point average probably, well, my 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: final g p A was really low. So I'm not 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: really low. I don't I can't remember exactly what it was. 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: But I was not a good student. No, I mean, 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that I thought I was dumb, but 68 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: I just high school was interesting for me. I I 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: probably snuck out of my house like four nights a week, 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: just I was super rebellious to do what. I don't know, 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: what do you do in Eugene, Oregon. Probably try to 72 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: score like alcohol or something, or you know, like I 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I was just restless. I just liked it 74 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: was like this thing we would do, me and this 75 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: group of friends, and we would just roam around town. 76 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: And I get grounded, but you if you just leave. 77 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: I realized that if you get grounded, you can still 78 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: just leave. There's nothing they could really do unless they 79 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: like chain me to the bed. It's like your baby. 80 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Now we were just talking. You can't give. You can't 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: even communicate with her. No, if I get what I gave, 82 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: that it's bad. I was. I was my poor parents. 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: See how I would think you're such a cerebral guy 84 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: just by being a fan of your music and the 85 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: different styles you kind of bounce within that. It was 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: probably school was probably too easy for someone like you. Uh, 87 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: I would say it just didn't fit, Like sitting in 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: a I'm really a d D, like tested off the charts, 89 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: and uh when I went and took some big formal tests, 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: not just like I'm a d D. Everybody says there 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: d D D, which but so so for me sitting in 92 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: a in a desk facing someone talking to you, sitting 93 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: still like just didn't work. I just didn't vibe that way. 94 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: Did you take a C T R S. See I'm 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: from Arkansas. I took a C T S just not 96 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: do well? Did you kill it? I did? Like? I 97 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: did pretty good. Yeah, I was like twelve or eleven something, 98 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: which I fell asleep during the writing session because I 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: had stayed out the night before. You just didn't care. 100 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: I just didn't care. I mean I guess I cared, 101 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: but no, my brother was really smart. I was like 102 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: in the art and I was a soccer player, and 103 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: so school just didn't I didn't see how that fit 104 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: into what. I don't know. I just didn't move me 105 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: at all. You would be the guy that I would 106 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: be jealous of all through high school and college because 107 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: not only were you the guy that was cool and 108 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: you snuck off and did you party and it made 109 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: bad grades? But then you're obviously musically talented, gifted, but 110 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: you're an athlete, like you were really good soccer player. 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: You went to call you. They paid you basically to 112 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: play soccer in college. What a scholarship, Well that's kind 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: of been blown out of proportion because Chico stayed at 114 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: the time didn't have really a full scholarship thing, so 115 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: they would help you with other things, but it wasn't 116 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: like a full ride. But because of my grades, like 117 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: I just really uh yeah, I but yeah that I 118 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: played Sarga Chico was, I was? Okay?

We we are Twitter friends, Okay, 121 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: that's something. Yeah, we're Twitter friends. Do you ever have 122 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: anybody follow you on Twitter? And then you worry for 123 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: a bit. I guess if I post something real stupid 124 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: rob when they start following me, they're gonna unfollow me. 125 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Do you ever have that? Because I I just know 126 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: because I'm terrible at it anyway, So you don't tweet much. 127 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't know I should tweet more. I had to. 128 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: You ever watch Full House? Okay? So I did a show, 129 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: but I didn't grow up. My wife was really like, 130 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: we talked about this last night. That's funny you brought 131 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: it up. We were talking about Full House. Well what 132 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: was that conversation? It was remember that And I was like, 133 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't really into it, and she's like, well, I 134 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: have find party and doing funds out. I just didn't 135 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: get it. I was like, because I think, yeah, I 136 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: don't know. I did a show on Fox with Candice Cameron, 137 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: and so we did the show together. She's wine, she 138 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: makes wine? Does she make wine? Just knew that. I 139 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 1: don't know how I know that. Yeah, I don't. I 140 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that. So I don't drink. I don't 141 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: drink wines. I don't know. But uh, we did the 142 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: show and I thought it was cool because I watched 143 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: Full House my whole life. And then she started following 144 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: me on Twitter and Instagram. So I thought that's a 145 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: very single move that I had. For a week, I 146 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: thought about everything I was writing. It had to go 147 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: through the Candice cameraon test, like would Candice approved, and 148 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: so then I would check the likes if she liked 149 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: my picture. I'm down a terrible, warm, warm hole. With 150 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: her and she's married at like four kids or something. 151 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, she was someone like I grew up. But 152 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: I wonder if Aaron Rodgers starts to follow you if 153 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: you go, man, I shouldn't tweet things stupid for a minute. Uh, 154 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: that's not really my brand to tweet stupid stuff and 155 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: be like what No, that's where we we like, yeah, 156 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: we like text each other in Twitter world.

Oh shoot a freak. 169 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: Their name anthem something box Gaslight Anthem. That was their name. 170 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: No box Car was gas and uh. I was like, oh, man, 171 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: I love those guys. Obviously, I love him so much. 172 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: I know their names really well. But but I was like, uh, man, 173 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: we did something for this Bruce compilation and he goes, oh, 174 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: that's funny. They were just in here and they pointed 175 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: at your picture and said, oh, we love Matt Carney. 176 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: And the guy goes, oh, how do you know Matt Carney? 177 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: And they go, oh, Bruce gave us his record, and 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: I was like Bruce, He's like, yeah Springsteen And I 179 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: was like, wait, Bruce knows I'm a live and gave 180 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: my record to somebody. Yeah, but I guess he's like 181 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: really into keeps up with current music. And we were 182 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: both on Columbia and I've done something for his like 183 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: charity CD, so there was a way he could have 184 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: known me. But yeah, I literally didn't talk for like 185 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: two hours. Did you ever talk to Bruce Springsteen? I 186 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: have not know, but he knows you're alive. That I 187 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: have a friend that went and saw his play the 188 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: Broadway show. Yeah, I guess play maybe as an accurate 189 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: the musical where he walks you through his life while 190 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: playing his songs. And so I got online to see 191 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: what tickets where to the Bruce Springstein show. I believe 192 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: it's called Springsteen or Bruce and Bruce Springstein something fly 193 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: like that. And they're like bucks to go watch that 194 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: show because I mean they're only out then yeah, and 195 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: I was getting ten people to pay a million dollars 196 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: and then you do it, yeah once a night. But 197 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: he is staying off the road because he goes and 198 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: does the show through four nights a week, does a 199 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: couple of shows and makes the money, feels creatively fulfilled, 200 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and it is that what it's all about. Like for me, 201 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: that's what I try to find. How do how long 202 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: do I stay creatively field? Because I just don't want 203 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: to go to the motions and get up. I know, 204 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: I never got into radio for the music. Loving the 205 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: music is a bonus part of it. I got into 206 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: the radio to creatively I'd write same ways and I 207 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: got a TV and stand up is to creatively like 208 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: fill my cupful and the fact that a music fan 209 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: allows me to break artists or bring artists like yourself 210 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: on when you're not a country artist, but my show 211 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: goes Yes, we I don't really care what you just 212 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: if you're good or I like you come on in. 213 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: So for me, that's it, That's what I'm always striving 214 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: to do. Like, how is it for you? Are you 215 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: always writing music? You're trying to What's just into what 216 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: you said? You can feel that when I've been listening 217 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: to your podcasts and what you do, and yeah, you're 218 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: not just playing music, You're you're well I would say 219 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: you're an artist. You know you're doing your thing, which 220 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: makes sense that you would get into all the different 221 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: stuff you're doing. Can you say that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 222 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I get into anything. Yeah, I try 223 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: to avoid that. When it starts to happen, I slowly 224 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: pivot out of it and come out. So how do 225 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: you keep yourself creatively motivated? Uh? You know, I just 226 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: I love writing, and um, I just love songwriting. It's 227 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I didn't actually start songwriting until I was a junior 228 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: in college, and it just was this like puzzle that 229 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: was fit everything that I loved and what like my gift. 230 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: I just was like, oh, this is I get it. 231 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: It's like it was moving in slow motion songwriting. I 232 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: was like, you put this here and that there. And 233 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: so I think I still that challenge of writing songs 234 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: in creating music and emotional moments are just you know, 235 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: I still love it, you know, and I get out 236 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: of bed every day with like songwrideas and lyrics. I 237 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: just put out a record and I'm still like I 238 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: was up late at night like writing down lyrics because 239 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: they just it's just what I do. You're right, I 240 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: wanna patter you put them on your phone. When was 241 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: that shift for you? Uh, February twelve, two thousand seven, 242 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: and you remember the day. Yeah, you're not messing with me. 243 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm messing with you. Okay, I don't know. Listen, I 244 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: can already tell you're working on different level than I am. 245 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: But for a lot of my friends, they'll they'll stick 246 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: to the pad because it's what they feel the most comfortable. 247 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm a terrible speller. I can't. I'm literally like.

I hit the ball farther than him 299 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: on the golf course. Are your golfer? I probably you're 300 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: an athlete, huh. I mean golf's my one kind of 301 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: like really dabble in athletics still, yeah, but can you 302 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: play with him? Are you better than him? Okay, because 303 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: he's really good, He's really good. Yeah, I don't play 304 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: that much. From that was the trouble. Like when I 305 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: moved down to town, I lived on a golf course 306 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: for a while. I thought, man, I was like, I 307 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: used to play all four days a week when not 308 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: live in Texas. Did you get like a handicap? Yeah? 309 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: I did, but I started I never played golf in 310 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: my lige. Yeah, which is hard. It's like learning piano 311 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: at right, you kind of if you don't have the 312 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: kid thing, it's a lot harder. And there was no 313 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: concept of golf. We didn't have golf in Arkansas. I 314 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: was I was pouring. There are no golf courses, you know, 315 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: we're so I started playing at like twenty eight or so. 316 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I played around and 317 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: I had to play around to score it, and I 318 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: think I shot a one o nine and by the 319 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: time that I was done playing, I was probably shooting 320 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: eighty three eight four was a twelve good around and 321 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: that I felt like it was good for me. But 322 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: it's really good just for anyone. But the problem with 323 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: golf is you're always playing people better than you. There's 324 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: always somebody who's a lot better than you. And so 325 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: if I can't practice, I don't want to play with that, 326 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: and right out of time to practice. So yeah, my 327 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: point is I really enjoyed the new record. Um and 328 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: so I listened on the back half of the record 329 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: when you put the shad a song in. Yeah, but 330 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: bun out by your side, So I'll hear were going 331 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: that if you just said to me, I'm gonna do 332 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: by your side, I've been like, yeah, I don't know, man, 333 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: that's that's like my legendary bubble bat song. Like people 334 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: love this song. I love it too. You crushed it though, 335 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: crushed it. Listen to this, Listen to you, Listen to 336 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: you right now. That's how good you are. This song 337 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: so much better than you know. Come on, what's your 338 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: mindset going into when you're covering a song because you 339 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: want to make it a little different, but you gotta 340 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: remain somewhat true. You're walking a fine line. And I 341 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: definitely took approach where I did it, like in her structure. 342 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: I think it's almost might be in the same key 343 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: she's singing, and maybe it's a half step blower, but 344 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I yeah, I definitely took the tempo in the structure 345 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: and kept it like she did it, and then just 346 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: made the instrumentation kind of different, like eight o eights 347 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: and something like that felt like something I was into. 348 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, I love this song. This was like I 349 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: I cover a lot of songs for fun in the studio, 350 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: just as an exercise or just I don't know, just 351 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: fun to like sing other really cool songs, and this 352 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: one I did as like a on a whim. And 353 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: then I kept like, I really like this, I really 354 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: like this, and I just kept finishing and finishing it 355 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: until I was like, I guess I gotta put this 356 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: on the record. I love this version. You know when 357 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: you also referenced and memorize, yeah, and so on purpose, 358 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: it was this thing. Yeah it was, so did you. 359 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: But but everybody thinks I'm saying shouty like Shoudy got low, 360 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: like I'm saying shaddy, but I'm not. I'm saying shod. 361 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: I never thought it was shoddy because I don't think, well, 362 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: you probably know who Shod is. I do. And and 363 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: so when I I think this song came out before 364 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: the record came out, I believe this, This wasn't this 365 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: one of the tracks first tricks. And so when this 366 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: song came out and I enjoyed it, and the record 367 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: comes out and they hear the shot a song and 368 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I was on purpose, Like did you 369 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: think to cover the song before you wrote this song? 370 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: I did. I had to cover Going. And I was 371 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: in a write with Matt Drag and Josh Miller, great 372 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: really big amazing writers in town. They work a lot 373 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: with Big Loud, the team I've been working with, and 374 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: uh yeah, and we were just I don't know, we 375 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: were just like coming up with ideas and I was 376 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,479 Speaker 1: trying to write this really personal thing and I was like, well, 377 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: we're listening to Shot. Because I was listening to Shot, 378 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: so I was like, that's weird and I like listening 379 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: to that. And so sometimes it's fun to you know, 380 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: all these are the weird lyrics are always the ones 381 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: that people tend to grab onto. Yeah, those the weird 382 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: lyrics are always the home runs or just the busts 383 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: whenever you do. And one of them that I would 384 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: reference is whenever sam I puts out body like a 385 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: back Road, which is you know she got hips like honey, 386 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: first time I heard, I go, oh, that's a risk, 387 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: you know because some of those but those paid off. Uh, 388 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: obviously major Cadillac seats. We go way back. That's so good. 389 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: That song is is so well written. It's like Paul 390 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: McCartney would like be proud to write that song in 391 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: my opinion, just like maybe that's a bold statement, but 392 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: this is out of like a crafted like a pop 393 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: concept song is so well executed. Something I was talking 394 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: about recently is how pop it's supposedly a bad word now, 395 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: like oh it's pot I'm not pop, Like, how's it? 396 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: How did that get transformed in a bad word? It 397 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: literally means popular. It can mean anything. And if we're 398 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: really defining pop, like hip hop is pop now? Yeah, 399 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: because yeah, I use that as like like big, okay, fair, 400 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: but big meaning popular And if someone goes, oh, I 401 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: don't I'm not into pop music. What does that mean? 402 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: You're not into music that other people like? Like, that's 403 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: a pretty bold statement. And then do you have to 404 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: shift if if it's like if like you're like, I'm 405 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: a Kings of Leon guy, and then they have a 406 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: hit You're like, WHOA, I can't what I said a 407 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: year ago, I don't pop music. I guess I gotta switch. Yeah, 408 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: that's always a weird thing when people say they don't 409 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: like pop, Like pop seems like it's a bad word 410 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: to people. Yeah, not to me, I guess yeah. I 411 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: mean I I don't really run in like I mean, 412 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: I would consider Bonnie. They're like I have I don't know. 413 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a bad example, but there's yeah, pop is 414 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: like I don't know if it's such a bad word. 415 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: It used to be really bad word, like when it 416 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: was like the Britney Spears like that era. But now 417 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: I feel like pop is getting weird too. So it's 418 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: like your stuff on the radio, and it's like can 419 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: be really weird and cool but very very popular and 420 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: very relatable.

I just I just I 460 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: associated more with like old rock bands, even though I 461 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: need one now because like script lyrics. But but they 462 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: put it on the big screens and it was just 463 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: like he's going through the lyrics and bring out your 464 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: reckon ball and he's reading. No, he was just playing 465 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: the song, but they had the lyrics. No one never's 466 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: the first time. I don't know. This song wasn't out, 467 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: hadn't been released, so he just was like starting this 468 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: song with this this show with this song. It was 469 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: really beautiful that Elton John play with the prompter and 470 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: so he has so many hits. Yeah, yeah, no, I 471 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: get it. It's also seventy I saw Steven Tyler play 472 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: with a prompter. I need one, So I'm right there 473 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: with you. You got a lot of words, some of 474 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: you a lot, but but you also wrote those a 475 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: lot of words. I know, but that doesn't mean yeah, 476 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: but every album you add like a lot more words. 477 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: So if you haven't played something in a while, it's hard. 478 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: But some stuff that just goes away. You don't remember 479 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: every song, do you know every song? No? Okay, That's 480 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like just goes away. It's you replace 481 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: the new. No. Like there's been times where you're doing 482 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: like an acoustic performance or something intimate where someone like, 483 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 1: play this song, I'm like, what's the first line? Help me? 484 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: You know, because I don't. Usually they're like, if you 485 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: get the first one, you're good, and then like the 486 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: first of the second verse, you're good. Those are like 487 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: the hard parts. Yeah, So we'll do songs. I'm in 488 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: a stupid band and even cover songs as long as 489 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: I can get that first even word. I just gotta 490 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: be put on the railroad track. Sometimes I can't find 491 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: the railroad track. You put me on the roller tracking 492 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: pretty good. I was playing a songwriter show the other 493 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: night and we were playing at the Franklin Theater, which 494 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: is about four hundred people, and I was a guest, 495 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: a big songwriter, Lee Thomas Miller. He write a bunch 496 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: of number one country Heather More again, and so we're 497 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: playing and I'm watching. He puts his phone up because 498 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: he's not normally a performer, he's a songwriter. He can sing, 499 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: but you know it, probably writes a song a day. 500 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: And he just had the first word, every line on 501 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: his phone. He didn't have all the lyrics. He just 502 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: had the first and that's all he needed. Because he 503 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: wrote brother's Osborne. It ain't my fault. I don't know 504 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: remember that song, and it's got a lot of words. 505 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: He wrote it with them, and so he just had 506 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the first line of ever, and I thought, Oh, that's 507 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: how to do it. That's all I need. Yeah, just 508 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: get me going. It's the first line, all right, Yeah, 509 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: I'll have a little line like similar first, just a 510 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: couple of lines written on the piano and a piece 511 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: of tape or something if I if I need to 512 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: remember stuff. So spring Stein is your best live shows 513 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: that when she played here, it was so good. It 514 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: was so good, man, I still see that. Why was 515 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: that good to It was just like, I don't know, 516 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm not even a Beyonce fan. It sounded so good. 517 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: It was so over the top, like it sounded unbelievable 518 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: and like just this big cube, like just as a spectacle. 519 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: It was the coolest thing I've seen. What was the 520 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: big Cube? It was this giant cube that was like 521 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: as big as an entire building and it rotated and 522 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: then it was all led screens too that like separated 523 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: and it was just like and they were out in 524 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: what Nissan what's it called the big football? So it 525 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: was like larger than life, like it was like this 526 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: building you were standing in front of, so it's like 527 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: a feeling as a person. It was like, I don't know, 528 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: they created this like whole world where you were standing 529 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: in front of this building. I don't know, it's just 530 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: really cool. I was reading some stuff about you because 531 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: my my favorite artist is John Mayer, because I feel 532 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: like they're only a few artists that actually speak the 533 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: way you do, and you hear lyrics, you go, that's 534 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: how I feel. There are a lot of songs I like. 535 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: There are a lot of artists to say a lot 536 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: of things I agree with. But I was a big 537 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: John Mayor fan, Like I loved Room for Squares. But 538 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: when Continuum came out and stop his trains on there, 539 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, stop the train. You know, 540 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: I'm only good to being young. That's my favorite lyric ever, 541 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: have it down in my living room. I didn't realize 542 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: you were on that, the continuum towards John. It was like, yeah, 543 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: because I've had probably thirteen experiences with John and recently 544 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: they've all been great. But I think to be completely 545 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: awesome and weird, you also got to be weird. Like 546 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: it's not just a compartmentalizing thing where you're only weird 547 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: when you create art, but in real life you're normal. 548 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: That's not how the world works. And at times John's 549 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: been really weird. But but recently, the last many times 550 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: you've been awesome. Um so the Continuum record for me, 551 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: it's awesome. And I wonder, I guess he was cool 552 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: with you. He was super cool and yeah, it was 553 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: like sent me a when when we got the when 554 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: we invited us to be on the tour we got 555 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: I got a car that was handwritten, like, man so 556 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: excited to have you out with us. And and then 557 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: we came out. First day were first sound check, which 558 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: was I saw me like ran to the Monderdeskin was 559 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: watching a sound check for the first day and I 560 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: was just like, which was not cool. Actually, I freaked 561 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: me out. But yeah, he was. I mean, he was 562 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: kind of his own world. He was dating Jessica Simpson 563 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: at the time, so they were spending a lot of 564 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: time together. And uh, but so I wouldn't say that 565 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: we like hung out every day, but we had probably 566 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: a dozen decent, really cool conversations or and I would 567 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: seehim around. We we had the same lawyer for a minute, 568 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: so I I'd run into him a couple of times. 569 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: And I was walking down through Manhattan one day and 570 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: I hear the mat you know, I look around, he's 571 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: like running down the street and said high. And so 572 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: he's always been really really kind to me. And I 573 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: think there is like the John persona and the interviews 574 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: and stuff that is a little like like row Bro. 575 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: You don't need to say that, but I don't know, man, 576 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: He's just I'm a fan too. I just loved what 577 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: he does. And you know, there are some artists where 578 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm intimidated did by how good he is. I'm like, 579 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: I feel like I should quit music when I see 580 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: what John Mirror does. He came on my show. I 581 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: saw the interview, so a bit of it. I was going, man, 582 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: he's way too smart for me to even talk to you. 583 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: And I'm going, I don't know How'm gonna get through this. 584 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: There was it clicked about ten minutes in where then 585 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: we just kind of yaid, he he has brain is 586 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: doing something different. He's he's working on a different level, 587 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: Like he's so much smarter than I am. And I 588 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: was happy that at some point in the interview he 589 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: just decided to dumb his brain down and and and 590 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: bond with me over that. He was like, I think 591 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: he had just started smoking weed a lot on the 592 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: when we we're on tour and there's an after party 593 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: and he was obviously like feeling it and he walked 594 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: up to me like telling me about how he goes 595 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: the Vegas. He was like, see what, I'm the biggest. 596 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: It's like I'm counting cards and it's like it's like 597 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: perfect pitch because d is right here. Oh and then 598 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: like so if a king comes, like, oh, that's like 599 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: a queen and then I do all the math in 600 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: my head. And he was like talking ninety miles an hour, 601 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, what is happening? Your ain is weird? Bro? 602 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: Like you're hearing like you're counting cards at a casino 603 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: through pitch, Like that's not normal. You're like, yeah, that 604 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: kind of weird person to make awesomely weird things. And 605 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: for me, it's been kind of oddly awesome to be 606 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: around a ton of creatives and see that to be 607 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: that creative you have to be odd, and sometimes with 608 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: odd you don't quite you don't have to jell. I 609 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: don't have your friends with everybody to actually understand and 610 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: appreciate their art. Yeah, I think there is a case 611 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, I've I've I've heard you interview you like, 612 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: but there are there's examples of people though that like Springsteen, 613 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: he's I would say, he's he's not weird at all. 614 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: You can't convince me that someone who does something so 615 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: different isn't so different also in some part of his 616 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 1: life some dark spots, you just can't. Yeah, I mean 617 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: it's a hard one for me. I know, I was. 618 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: I was listening to hear Chris Stapleton interview today.

I'm much more than that what I accomplish 670 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: and and ultimately great work and that stuff won't come 671 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: out of just like insecurity fear like I think, like 672 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: maybe some frantic work can, but I don't know. I 673 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: think you're you're successful in spite of that, not because 674 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: of that. Mm hmm. Yeah.

You know, I went through 677 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: some some some beast years that were very tough, and 678 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: I think that's created a lot of walls for me. 679 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: And I like to control what I can control because 680 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't able to control a lot earlier. So now 681 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, so my question is do you know anybody, 682 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: Oh dude, this is I love it. This is like 683 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: my own I'm going through these same things in the 684 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: fact that like Burnee Brown is this author that I love. 685 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: She's amazing. She's like a Ted Talks, like the most 686 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: watch Ted talks, and she talks a lot about uh, perfectionism, 687 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: and like I would have I when I work on 688 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: a record, when I work on something, when I put 689 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: on a show, I work really hard. And perfectionism is 690 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: this thing where you think you can like be free 691 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: from criticism or because you're it's going to be perfect, 692 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: no one can pokeohole at me. Then because I've created 693 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: this perfect thing, and she does this whole argument about how, 694 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: uh no, that's actually not like data proves that your 695 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: perfectionism is actually gets in your way. It's actually your 696 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: successful in spite of your perfectionism. Like perfectionism, when they 697 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: break it down to what it does to you and yours, 698 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: it actually doesn't help. And it's really an interesting thing 699 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: that I've been kind of diving into. Do you worry 700 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: getting deep? Are you going to be so balanced though 701 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: now that you have a baby that you're not going 702 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: to be able to create that I'm so unbalanced because 703 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: I had a baby, bro Like I am, Like, maybe 704 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: you're nutty.

This is on this is 763 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: not crazy talk. When you go into a record like this, 764 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: it this has a different style to it. All your 765 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: records have slightly different different styles, and this one, you know, 766 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: there's definitely some electronic flavor inside of this. Is it 767 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: a decision that maybe there are songs that didn't have it? 768 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: There you go, we should probably add it. So the 769 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: records fluid, uh no, because I've always had like pretty 770 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: schizophrenic records and not been afraid of that. So there's 771 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 1: always like a weird fulk moment or like there's a 772 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: song called wanted Man on this record that's very like, 773 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, some weird like James Taylory song or something. Yeah. Yeah, 774 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's definitely uh, there's definitely like textures and 775 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: themes and concepts you're working on, But no, I just 776 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: I've always been like of the Beatles camp. It's like 777 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: each song is kind of its own world and as 778 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: long as they're great songs and they're not like jarring 779 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: kind of, it's more of a collection of songs than 780 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: is this like concept record play some Wanted Man and 781 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: Crime You'd take my You make me feel wanting man, 782 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: You make me feel wanting man? How long this record? 783 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: What's this? What's your studio on? Light on this? Uh? 784 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: It took about three years to write all the songs 785 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: because I was writing while I was finishing up my 786 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: other record. And then man, I don't know, it's like 787 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: comes some songs like we took a day, some took 788 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: six months, and I bet it was a beer eight 789 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: months kind of off and on. But I was going 790 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: through a lot of different things. I was it was 791 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: my first I had worked as a manager. Greg Ladderman, 792 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 1: who's like an amazing human and found me and actually 793 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: signed John Byron found him and started this record called 794 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: A Were Records, And we were getting this place where 795 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going into my fifth record. I 796 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: needed something new I needed like a new perspective of 797 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: new life, and and I wanted out of my major 798 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: label deal. I was just kind of ready to do 799 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: something different and uh so I was going through all that. 800 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: So this record was it was. It took a lot 801 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: of time and also went really fast because there was 802 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: a lot and I had a baby. It was just 803 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: like this weird It was the weirdest creative season in 804 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: my life. You do hip hop, you can see that 805 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: a hip hop artist? Me.

Now, no, no, no, no, no, 809 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean I always always started. I started that way. 810 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: What was funny was I didn't had zero music upbringing. 811 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: I didn't actually start doing music to college at all. 812 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: But I but in high school we would like when 813 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: I was being a punk kid and graffiti. We'd go. 814 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: There was this legal graffiti wall in Eegene, Oregon. I 815 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: got really into because it was really creative and all 816 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: my friends were these like kind of skater punk kids 817 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: and we'd paint murals and for fun we would put 818 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: on like an instrumental outcast instrumental or like Wu Tang 819 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: Clan instrumental and like makeup songs on the way back 820 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: to school. So basically freestyle. Yeah we're freestyle and uh yeah. 821 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: We just started like I got really good at it. 822 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: I was like shockingly good, and then I started like 823 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: not being funny, and I was like, get really personal 824 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: and tell these stories and everybody's like whoa. And then 825 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: I started writing songs and writing like my own songs, 826 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: the outcast instrumentals, and they would kind of my senior year, 827 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: they were like people would kind of pass them around 828 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,879 Speaker 1: the school. I was like, whoa, this is crazy people 829 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: who like what I'm doing. So that was kind of 830 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: my journey into that world. But I wasn't singing yet. 831 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I've always had this kind of like autobiographical 832 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: kind of documentary style talking spoken word hip hop influence. 833 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 1: Would you say hip hop? Would you say spoken words 834 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,479 Speaker 1: lamp poetry. It's funny because because as soon as you say, 835 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: I would not, I'm not a hip hop artist in 836 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: the sense of like I just I just would feel 837 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: very uncomfortable using that. I would say I'm definitely influenced 838 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: by it, and like like Ed Sheeran would be influenced 839 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,959 Speaker 1: by it or like a you know, but to put 840 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: myself in that world. I did do an interview with 841 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: like I was like, one of the coolest invites I 842 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: got to an interview. Was this like Canadian hip hop 843 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: blog or something. They wanted to interview me for a record. 844 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I'm in. Someone accepted me in 845 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: that world. But but I wouldn't. I definitely wouldn't. Um. 846 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I grew up on it 847 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: and it just crept its way into my music because 848 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know how to do anything else. I couldn't 849 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: even sing yet, but I could kind of wrap this 850 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 1: weird melodic like storytelling. You did win hip Hop Song 851 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: of the Year in two thousand six for train Wreck, 852 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: a double work. Yeah wow, okay, evening you got what's 853 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: that make you think about? I don't like the song? What? Okay? 854 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: Why don't you like the song? I don't know just this, 855 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what do I mean? It's not and 856 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't hate it, no, no, but what do you 857 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: think when it comes on? Uh? Like it was another 858 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: era of me creatively. It's probably like when the probably 859 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: like the seventh song I've ever written in my life 860 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: and you want a double work for it, Well, I 861 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: won't make you keep listening. No, no, it's interesting. Well 862 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: actually turn it back up with me lost for these words, 863 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: this motion of the silent side of flat was. I 864 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: probably even listened to this in eight years. Yeah, that's 865 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: pretty That's definitely more wrap than you can tell me 866 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: if you believe this. And I wrote that I have 867 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: a book come in a couple of weeks, and I 868 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: wrote about this that if you're if you continue creating, 869 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: then not what you're creating, but if you continue creating 870 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: and you're not somewhat embarrassed by what you've created in 871 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: the past, you're not moving forward, you're not distancing yourself 872 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: from it. You can be proud of it and still 873 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: be embarrassed by it. There are old things that I've 874 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: done that I've been embarrassed by, but I'm proud of 875 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: them because they got me to the next spot. They 876 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: got me to the next spot. So my theory is, 877 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: if you listen to something a few years ago and 878 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: you're not embarrassed by it, I mean you're probably still 879 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: in the same spot. Like if you're not embarrassed that 880 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: you haven't grown, so you hear that. Do you think 881 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 1: I just grown so much as an artist or you're 882 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: like it wasn't thinking come on, I mean maybe like 883 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: that's definitely like the more hip hop leaning that was 884 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: me coming out of that world. So it's probably more 885 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: like directly influenced in trying to occupy that space of 886 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: like the hip hop thing, which I don't know if 887 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: you like, I don't know if that fit me to 888 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: the core. You know, you're trying things, and sometimes you tried, 889 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you're like you look back at a picture, 890 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: You're like, why why did I wear those jeans? Like, 891 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: come on, you've grown, like like you've grown for those 892 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: four months. I thought those jeans were so cool? Why 893 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: but I was way off? Yeah maybe, yeah, you're right, 894 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: you've grown. You have grown. I've grown taller a bit 895 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: later in life too, oddly, really oddly, I don't know 896 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: why I to keep growing and always yoga or something, 897 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: you getting better posture. You do yoga because I do 898 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: a little yoga. I love it. I just I don't 899 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: do anything, So you don't You don't stop doing anything 900 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: because you don't do anything. Yeah, exactly, you don't do anything, 901 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: and you're and you're You're like, you're very disciplined, to 902 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: disciplined doing anything for a long period of time and stuff. 903 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: Even not doing something is doing something right like respect, 904 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: Like that's my thing.

Because I mean, you put 930 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: out a record. We're in the world now where the 931 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: debate is. You know it is an album worth it 932 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: because you can put out just the math. You can 933 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: put out ten songs and they'll stream it a million 934 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,240 Speaker 1: each being can put out one song and if it's strange, 935 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: ten million, you actually make more than if you did. Yeah. 936 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: That so, and it's also all the flashing lights and 937 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,959 Speaker 1: remaining in the marketplace. Because you put out a full record, 938 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 1: you kind of shot a shot for a minute. So 939 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: I just wonder your thoughts on the album in today's 940 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: consumer environment. Well that was really why the approach on 941 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 1: this record was we actually put out I think it 942 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: was five or six songs, five songs before the album 943 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 1: came out and then released the final I think six. 944 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: The sixth song would have been on the day that 945 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: it dropped, so that doesn't really count, but the really 946 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: seven at the end. And I still think that album 947 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: obviously is super valid as an artist, and its like 948 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: someone who. I think my fans weren't that. I think 949 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 1: they wanted a body of work to listen to, you know, 950 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: put on there on the boat driving around or there 951 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: driving home from work. I think they want a body 952 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: of work to immerse themselves in from you, um, the 953 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 1: core fans, but there's definitely people who, you know, it's 954 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: definitely moving in a way. It's almost like the fifties. 955 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: It's very single driven, and I don't think it's all bad. 956 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: I think it's you know, like I was reading a 957 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: Bondo Bonno interview and there it was this kind of 958 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: laziness that if you were a big band or you 959 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: could just like you needed one song that really was great, 960 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: and then you could kind of put out your album 961 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: and they could be concept songs. And uh, some of 962 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 1: that's sad that we've lost that, but some of it's 963 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,439 Speaker 1: also good because it's really aid. Songwriting has to be better. 964 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: You can't just put like you just can't throw something 965 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: on an album and call it done. You have to, like, literally, 966 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 1: each song has to be a very noteworthy experience in 967 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: itself for people to care about it. And I think 968 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: that's not bad. It's an investment in time now, you know, 969 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 1: back in our day, because we're really at the same 970 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: age that you would go buy a CD. I remember 971 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: going to buy the right set Fred c D because 972 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: I wanted I'm Too Sexy and I couldn't get on 973 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 1: Too Sexy without buying the whole album. And it was 974 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm Too Sexy around track three seven right pieces of 975 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: garbage maybe one other song that was okay, but they 976 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: got you because to get that one song you had 977 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: to go to Walmart and buy the c D. Now 978 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: you have the option to check or plus mark or 979 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: what it didn get rid of these songs immediately, and 980 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: even if you like something, there's seventeen new albums coming 981 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,359 Speaker 1: out on Fresh Music Friday or whatever it is. It's 982 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: crazy how much music comes out right now. So it's 983 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: harder to matter, Yeah, it is harder to matter. It's 984 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: harder to stay in the marketplace. I mean, it's harder 985 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: to cut through. It's hard. Yeah, it's it's interesting. It's 986 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 1: an interesting challenge. And I've been in the business long 987 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 1: enough where I've seen it kind of. I was probably 988 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 1: the tail end of the last garb of like, you know, 989 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: my Columbia. When I put out my first targ on Columbia. UM, 990 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: I think we spent like just the money was different, 991 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: everything was different. It was very We spent like almost 992 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: three grand on the first music video. I didn't know. 993 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: I'd had nothing to do with that. That's just what 994 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: the label did. They're like, no, there's what We're gonna 995 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 1: shoot film for three days and it's a really beautiful video. 996 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 1: But I just that whole model of kind of building 997 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: this huge promotional piece around one song to drive an 998 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: album sales. Yeah, it's died. It's not it's no longer 999 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: a thing. It won't ever be a thing, probably right. 1000 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: And the great thing about that though, is, as we 1001 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: talked about the negatives, is that every song had really 1002 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 1: has to be at this point, you know, you can't 1003 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: put out garbage because it just won't exist at all. 1004 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 1: It's will just be h filler, Like there's no filler 1005 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: really what which to me. It's really I think it's 1006 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: encouraging in the sense of, like I love, that's how 1007 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: I create. That's kind of how I create too. I 1008 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,879 Speaker 1: don't create like these kind of concept albums. Songs are 1009 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: very um, they're their own children. And then you get 1010 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: an album together and yeah, there's there's similar textures and 1011 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 1: you're working with like different layers. But each song really 1012 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 1: is its own thing, and if it's not like special, 1013 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't make the record, regardless of what the sonics 1014 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: or if it fits better. I don't know. I've never 1015 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 1: really been that way. It's very like the songs raise 1016 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: their hands themselves. So it fits me because I like 1017 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: putting out songs that I believe in. It's tough for 1018 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: the consumer to digest twelve songs. It just really is, 1019 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: especially when we let's compare to something else Netflix, when 1020 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: there are a hundred shows offered to us, and the 1021 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: first moment in the show that we're watching, we feel 1022 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: like that it's not for me. We just jumped to 1023 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: the next one. Yeah, right, And so in a twelve 1024 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 1: fourteen song eleven song record, see at track four and 1025 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: you go, I don't know not next you go to 1026 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,879 Speaker 1: the next thing, and so you know, time is so 1027 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,280 Speaker 1: valuable now and these records. I was listening to Bob 1028 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 1: left sets. Do you know who he is? My any change? Okay? 1029 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 1: He was talking about how they will only be concept 1030 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: albums in the future. Otherwise it's just put out good 1031 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: songs one to three stay in the marketplace. Only concept 1032 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 1: albums makes sense. It does make sense now. I don't 1033 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: know about the concept album, you know, my and I 1034 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: start to think about radio in the world of you 1035 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: know what I do, Well, here's what the future of 1036 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: radio to me and not my I don't do radio 1037 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 1: for Terrestrial, it's part of it. I mean, we have, 1038 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, six million people a week to listen to 1039 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,800 Speaker 1: Terrestrial and another three or fourth listen digitally. But it's shifting, 1040 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: it's slowly shifting. People will come and they listen to 1041 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: my show, not because of the music, the music companies, 1042 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: the show we talk about, but they listened to her opinions, thoughts. 1043 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: They're here to laugh, here to cry, you know, it's 1044 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: uh the only place that they can find. You know, 1045 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: Howard Stern or Charlemagne the god or is on our 1046 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 1: channel and so well radio is going to turn into 1047 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: is back to the fifties how music is. And you're 1048 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: gonna listen for your DJs to tell you what songs 1049 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: they like instead these universal, interesting programmed playlists. It's going 1050 00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 1: to alter all the charts and you're gonna have a 1051 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: few guys. Otherwise, why would you listen to something in 1052 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: five years, three years? It just tells you what to 1053 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: hear when everything is available for you. A playlist for everything. 1054 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 1: There's a playlist for everything. When mood are you right 1055 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 1: you gotta fart? Gotta playlist feeling good? Yeah, yeah, that 1056 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: moment you can y Yeah, poop on your shirt? Yeah, 1057 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: the on the shirt playlist. That's a good one. Actually, 1058 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: Oh is it? There's a lot of back You work 1059 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: at the Starbucks by the Rhyman. They told me that 1060 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: before you come in the radio show. I never brought 1061 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: it up. I think I got lost in your eyes 1062 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: or something. But what what was that story? Uh? Yeah, 1063 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 1: I used to work at the Starbucks on Fifth and 1064 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,080 Speaker 1: Church and uh walk by the Rhyman all the time, 1065 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 1: and there was I mean it was would have been 1066 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: so far fetched to actually think I'd play there. And 1067 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: we played there the second time on this last tour, 1068 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: and which was about a little more special because um 1069 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,400 Speaker 1: just because it was moving slower. I could like the 1070 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: first time we played though, yeah, I was telling the 1071 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,839 Speaker 1: story funny. I was like, we're doing the special thing. 1072 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 1: We should probably have like unied content for everything, right, 1073 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 1: So I'm like, get a get a video guy down here. 1074 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: It's like film this.

And I never thought i'd play 1085 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 1: here and out of nowhere, I like can't talk. I'm 1086 00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 1: like bawling in this interview. And this guy I don't 1087 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: even know him. He's just like a dude the camera 1088 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: that I just like we found someone knew him and 1089 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm just he's looking at me like I'm like, I can't. Yeah, 1090 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: I was just really meaningful to be in this place 1091 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,279 Speaker 1: and in Nashville with so many legends that have played there, 1092 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: and uh, I feel a little bit like I'm fooling everybody, 1093 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 1: but to be there, it's just it was really special. 1094 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: And the second time was even more special, just because 1095 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: I actually felt like I slowed down on purpose. Do 1096 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 1: you have a poster syndrome? Oh? Yeah, I have it heavily. 1097 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 1: When you said that, I was like, oh, I get that, 1098 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: but I mean you hear you right, like you're actually good. Well, 1099 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,319 Speaker 1: I mean you always hear yourself. But I know how 1100 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 1: I got there, you know, Like I think when you 1101 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: write a song, you're like, oh, they're definitely moments that 1102 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:52,359 Speaker 1: you um. The great songs are freaky, they're spooky, they 1103 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: just show up, but they're just like given to you. 1104 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: It's really odd. I wish I understood it more, but like, 1105 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 1: great songs just appear, and those moments are definitely like whoa, 1106 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: this is cool, Like whatever is happening, however, I've been 1107 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,479 Speaker 1: made and wired that this can happen in my life 1108 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: is really special and I am in all of those moments, 1109 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 1: but they still don't feel like me, they feel like 1110 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: outside of me, and then uh, the rest of it. 1111 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: You see all the hard work and labor, and that 1112 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: goes into something you're like, oh, I get how I 1113 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: kind of pulled this one off, Like I get it, 1114 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,479 Speaker 1: like I did this and then I put this chord 1115 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: in there and then I said this, and I don't know. 1116 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: I still feel like I'm fooling everybody. Yeah, I do too, 1117 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 1: I really really do. I feel And I've said this 1118 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: before that like I'm on a string of seven eleven 1119 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 1: robberies and eventually they're gonna catch me. It's just a 1120 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: matter of time. Because you don't rob seven elevens forever. 1121 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 1: Eventually they catch up with you and go, Okay, you're done, 1122 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 1: time to go to jail. You've been robbing seven elevens. 1123 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: And that's how I feel, because I don't really I 1124 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 1: don't only have a talent. You can sing and I'm 1125 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: a fish. You have a talent that Yeah, I was 1126 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: just a listening to you.

I was shopping. 1154 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 1: We knew we had friends in common. And I walked 1155 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: up to her and I was like, there was a 1156 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 1: group of friends. And I thought she was cute and 1157 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: I thought I was like, hey, have we met before? 1158 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: She goes no like that.

She 1162 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: doesn't even remember that interaction, right. I remember it deeply. 1163 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: She was wearing purple boots. I put it in a song. 1164 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 1: This whole Hey Mama was the song. It's about this 1165 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 1: whole interaction. And she doesn't remember it at all. Uh. 1166 00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 1: She said she had a margarite at lunch. That's why 1167 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 1: she hasn't remember it. But I think that's she just 1168 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: doesn't remember it. But yeah, like we so we I 1169 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 1: met her.

This is I felt being a fan of 1217 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: your music a bit odd asking you to play this 1218 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,479 Speaker 1: song just because I go I'm a fan. He probably 1219 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 1: doesn't play this song anymore. Song. Love the song really 1220 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 1: really I like to hear that because I'm a fan, 1221 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 1: and I always don't like because I like to have 1222 01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: a moment and you're like, oh, finally they're playing the 1223 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 1: song that I love so much. Yeah, and your I 1224 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: just had. I just had. If you notice, uh, on 1225 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: the end of the course, there's like a missing measure. 1226 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 1: I just had lunch with the drummer who played on 1227 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 1: it yesterday, Lindsay Jamison, and uh, it actually has a 1228 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: drop measure if you if you try to clap. No 1229 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 1: one's going to care about this. I know they will actually, 1230 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 1: but there you know you you got one two three 1231 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,439 Speaker 1: four four. Usually there's like the court changes, it goes 1232 01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 1: one to three one two three four. It skips a 1233 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: whole measure which has this weird one more time to 1234 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: find you that whole thing. And it was really odd. 1235 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: And I was in the studio and I was like 1236 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the drummers like, wait, what are you doing? You can't 1237 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: do that. I was like oh, should we add another measure? 1238 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: And he's like, no, that's genius, that is amazing. I 1239 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 1: was like, really, okay, let's keep it in there. And 1240 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: but yeah, that's song just kind of fell out of 1241 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: the sky. Was the extra measure. Uh so you got 1242 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 1: to but do you hear it every think about it 1243 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 1: every time to three one two three one two? So 1244 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 1: there was there's like a does anyone care about this? Yeah? No, 1245 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: I do. I'm actually because I wonder this is something 1246 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,479 Speaker 1: that nobody else is going to notice. But I wonder 1247 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 1: if you notice every time you hear the song. I don't. 1248 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 1: I just wrote it that way. You usually you should 1249 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: play a chord, like the normal structure of pop music 1250 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: in general would be, you know, you play one and 1251 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 1: two and three and four and one and two and 1252 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 1: three and four. That's what naturally everyone feels normal to people. 1253 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: But the way I wrote the melody one more time 1254 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 1: to fund and we changed chord and find you had 1255 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,800 Speaker 1: this total like actually really nice release to skip that measure. 1256 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: So I just did it naturally writing I didn't even 1257 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 1: know I was playing my guitar by myself. I didn't 1258 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:52,800 Speaker 1: even know what I was doing. I just did it 1259 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: because it felt like the coordina did change there, and 1260 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 1: uh yeah, I was like, A, I don't think about it, 1261 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: but it is. Uh. When we played Conan with a 1262 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 1: song a long time ago, Max Weinberg Springsteen, he's like, 1263 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: what they didn't tell you the old studio was. He 1264 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 1: was like ten ft the band is ten feet from me. 1265 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 1: The st cross angles, so you think it's much bigger 1266 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: than it was. They were. They were like hovering over 1267 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: us like it was. And they played like you know, 1268 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 1: they're they're like bumper music. It's like right, just like 1269 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,560 Speaker 1: like it's so good and so intense. And then they're 1270 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: like and Matt Carney and they point to you and 1271 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 1: Max stands up, puts his drums under his arm and 1272 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: stares at me over his shoulder, arms crossed like ten 1273 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 1: ft from me, like right off camera. But you're just like, WHOA. 1274 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:47,240 Speaker 1: Max is intimidating me and he's trying to write and 1275 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: we get to the chorus one moment time and every 1276 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:51,880 Speaker 1: drummer freaks out over that I do that, and I 1277 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: he would get to the drop measured and he's like 1278 01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 1: knees buckle and he's like okay, and then he starts 1279 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: like vibe into it, and then he waits for the 1280 01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: next one and we get to the second course and 1281 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: he's like throws his hands up, He's like, yes, that 1282 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,440 Speaker 1: part right there, and then we kept getting to it 1283 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 1: like it was winning Max over as the show was 1284 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 1: going and I was like, this is gonna be like, 1285 01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 1: this is the greatest moment of my life. I was 1286 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 1: watching a video of Harry Connick Jr. And he was 1287 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: playing and the crowd was clapping on the wrong but 1288 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,160 Speaker 1: you know they're clapping up. They're probably clapping on one 1289 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: and three instead of two and four.
