Speaker 1: Find Out and podcast. So something happened to me the
Speaker 1: other day in the parking lot that I want to
Speaker 1: bring up. Oh, it's parking lot etiquette. Parking lot etiquette. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know one of them the um what's those things called? Oh,
Speaker 1: the shopping carts. If you don't return your cart the
Speaker 1: buggy as some people would say parts of the country,
Speaker 1: that's like a southern southern Oh I've never heard that before. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what's your thing. Well, first of all, we can
Speaker 1: touch on that. I'm good because you're that one. Well,
Speaker 1: now it's so annoying put them away. Now, it's so frustrated.
Speaker 1: I hate when people don't put away the shopping carts
Speaker 1: in the designated spots, when they just leave them in
Speaker 1: an empty parking space. That drives me insane. Well, and
Speaker 1: so I've conditioned Janna to start walking back the shopping
Speaker 1: cart because before it's hard with kids though, that's why
Speaker 1: either put them in the car and then do it. Great,
Speaker 1: So then you leave the kids in the car. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I always bought. Park close to one
Speaker 1: of those, like next the spot next to it, or
Speaker 1: two spots or cross from it. Um, I I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's just I will tell you.
Speaker 1: The other day though, when I was at Whole Foods,
Speaker 1: I was putting my card away and I took the
Speaker 1: cart from the older lady who was also bringing it
Speaker 1: that way, look at you, good Samaritan. I just kind
Speaker 1: of shook my head. I was like, oh, this just
Speaker 1: feels weird. This is not who I am, um. But no.
Speaker 1: So I was leaving home Depot, which I feel like
Speaker 1: Home Depot parking lots are way too tight for the yeah,
Speaker 1: the trucks that are there and the reasoning that people
Speaker 1: are going there. And it's funny because I was I
Speaker 1: parked to the far end to where like the lumber
Speaker 1: x It is because I'm going to get lumber for
Speaker 1: the playhouse thing them building, and so it's a lot
Speaker 1: of trucks. Like in this section that I'm parked, I have,
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of wood in the back. So
Speaker 1: I don't have my backup camera, which we've all gotten
Speaker 1: a little dependent on, right Like who even looks in
Speaker 1: their mirrors anymore? I still try to, but still, so
Speaker 1: I'm backing up and my cameras like beeping at me
Speaker 1: because it's facing the ground. Because my tailgates down so
Speaker 1: I can't really see completely and give a little love
Speaker 1: tap to the truck behind me in another spot whoops, whoops.
Speaker 1: And I was like, ship, did I just hit a car?
Speaker 1: So I pulled up a little bit, got out and looked.
Speaker 1: I mean nothing. It was literally a love tap, no scratching, nothing,
Speaker 1: but really though, like that's something like it could be
Speaker 1: buffed out. Let me lick my finger and grab it
Speaker 1: out a little bit, grab a grab a sharpie from
Speaker 1: the car was on. It was one of those two
Speaker 1: where like in case someone saw me, I was like
Speaker 1: almost like acting out that it was okay, like I
Speaker 1: wish people could see me. I was like, oh, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good, like okay, everything's okay, like just pretending that
Speaker 1: someone was looking at me. Um. And I drove away
Speaker 1: and but then I was like leaving. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: should I still left the note? Should have still said hey,
Speaker 1: I love tapped your car? But it was all good
Speaker 1: x o x ou, I'll let your board board. Um,
Speaker 1: No part of me like felt still a little guilty,
Speaker 1: like maybe I still still of left it out. But
Speaker 1: what would you have said, like to whom it may concern,
Speaker 1: to the to the black I don't know mc GMC
Speaker 1: or four GMC, those are two different cars. Um, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what would you have said? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: even know. I just felt a little bit of that guilt.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, what was but guilt for what?
Speaker 1: Because it didn't it did nothing. You didn't hurt anything,
Speaker 1: I know, but still I like you felt like you
Speaker 1: violated their car a little bit, A little bit, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I know I didn't do anything wrong,
Speaker 1: but still it's one of those things, like to what extent. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if there's any damage, even a scratch, I would have
Speaker 1: been straight up and been like written on something and
Speaker 1: left form, Hey I did this. Here's my name and number.
Speaker 1: Give me a call in order giving a fake phone number.
Speaker 1: Have I'm just kidding, UM, But you feel guilty because
Speaker 1: because I wasn't able to tell a person, and like
Speaker 1: I wish I could have told them, but they came
Speaker 1: in or woman, I love to have your truck. Uh,
Speaker 1: my bad, It's all good. I don't know what are
Speaker 1: you struggling with. I'm struggling with the fact that if
Speaker 1: you left your name and number, they would find another
Speaker 1: scratch on their car. And be like, no, man, he
Speaker 1: sides with my car. Your head would go there, my
Speaker 1: car is totaled. Actually yeah, and you owe us five
Speaker 1: million dollars. Well, if someone did that, there's no way
Speaker 1: they could prove it. So I'd be like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I mean obviously if you had some kind
Speaker 1: of scratch or some something that happened to the car
Speaker 1: and then you left, like, I'm like, yeah, you should
Speaker 1: for sure feel guilty. That's that was the wrong thing
Speaker 1: to do. But because you didn't do anything to the car,
Speaker 1: in my mind's like you went out and looked, that's
Speaker 1: beyond any like not many people would probably get out
Speaker 1: of the car and look maybe peace. And that's what
Speaker 1: I did to my grandparents car. I was in high school.
Speaker 1: It was snowing, and my grandparents had just come to
Speaker 1: visit us, and I wasn't used to having a car
Speaker 1: behind me. So I'm running late. I think it was
Speaker 1: my senior year and it was still you know, it
Speaker 1: was six like, and I again I was running late,
Speaker 1: running late, and so I get in the car and
Speaker 1: I just straight up reverse and floor it. Stop the
Speaker 1: crunch that I heard, and I just was like shut
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what to do. I just like
Speaker 1: froze because like, you know, my Grandpa's so sweet, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, you don't want to mess with
Speaker 1: them either at that time of his age. And so
Speaker 1: I just went forward and turn my car and went
Speaker 1: straight to school. What happened when they when they found
Speaker 1: out when they came out and saw their car, It's like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, how did someone hit the front of
Speaker 1: our car when we're punked in the triveway? So I
Speaker 1: called my mom from school and I was crying and
Speaker 1: I was like, I hate grandma Grandpa's car. And they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they know, they heard it, they saw you peel away.
Speaker 1: I was like, are they mad? Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I just couldn't confront them. I was running
Speaker 1: late for school. I can't even imagine. So that's there
Speaker 1: was some damage done and it wasn't like crazy damage,
Speaker 1: but there was a good amount of damage to both cars.
Speaker 1: That's really, really, really funny to me. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I eventually told, but I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that would if they hit they would just go.
Speaker 1: You're like Grandma and Grandpa, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was bad. Are you sure? You're like
Speaker 1: you sure when you guys pulled in you didn't hit
Speaker 1: the rear end of my car. They're a little senile
Speaker 1: and or they would be like, whoa guys, easy, easy
Speaker 1: on the you know init or whatever, not inhale. But
Speaker 1: you've never been funny. If I if I were backed
Speaker 1: in and hit that truck and there's a scratch on
Speaker 1: my car but not on theirs, and I left the
Speaker 1: note and be like, hey man, I backed India and
Speaker 1: I gotta scratch my car. Let's exchange information. Oh please,
Speaker 1: you still have a scratch on your car from the
Speaker 1: time that you went to McDonald's in Los Angeles. I
Speaker 1: will forever haunt me. McDonald's will forever haunt me. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't have gone. Shouldn't have gone, Garma, just the big
Speaker 1: man upstairs saying stop eating McDonald's. No. But I think
Speaker 1: to circle around, I think it's really sweet that you
Speaker 1: did that. You have the conscious conscience, conscience, conscience to
Speaker 1: feel bad about that even though you did nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: Easton talked to me, help me, I need any more
Speaker 1: details about that, about that McDonald's scratch. Did you misjudge
Speaker 1: the drive through? What happened? No, it's the one that's
Speaker 1: on Sunset and Laurel Canyon. Yeah, and you have to
Speaker 1: it's like the tunnel drive through. Yes, yes, we're going
Speaker 1: to fight that day. Probably. That's like I eat my
Speaker 1: feelings just like you think I remember something happening near
Speaker 1: Like I'm gone McDonald's. No, I was. I was already
Speaker 1: out and about because I wouldn't have gone over the
Speaker 1: hill to go go to that McDonald's. I was on
Speaker 1: my way home McDonald's. Yeah. So I went through that
Speaker 1: tunnel of death drive through that a motorcycle can barely
Speaker 1: fit through with my big old truck. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you just and you just see the remnants of scrapes
Speaker 1: all down that tunnel. I'm like every car in here,
Speaker 1: it's like, what you do? You just scraped the side
Speaker 1: or scraped the pole or I'm like, who built this?
Speaker 1: This is terrible Eastern What would you do if you
Speaker 1: love tap somebody and either made a mark or made
Speaker 1: a no mark? I mean, this is a safe space
Speaker 1: right where, this is a cone of honesty. I gotta
Speaker 1: be honest if there's no mark and nobody saw it.
Speaker 1: I'm jetting. I'm not I'm not doing anything. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get out. What if what if there was a mark
Speaker 1: and nobody saw it. That's the thing, and nobody saw it,
Speaker 1: you know what you would do? You would leave. I
Speaker 1: can see it in your face. It depends on how
Speaker 1: big the mark was. Uh yeah. I like to think
Speaker 1: that I that I would leave a note, but in reality,
Speaker 1: I probably would justify it by going like, well, you
Speaker 1: know your car has been hit a bunch of no
Speaker 1: one left to know. This is just you put in
Speaker 1: the karma back into the world. That's messed up. Though
Speaker 1: I should, I should be more honest. But if it
Speaker 1: was a small it was like shorter than a pencil scratch,
Speaker 1: I probably would just leave if no one saw it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really funny. Don't park. No, don't remember that. One
Speaker 1: time my ex friend came back and wrecked my car
Speaker 1: and said that He's like, you could clearly tell that
Speaker 1: he hit a pole, Like you could for sure tell
Speaker 1: he hit a pole. And he's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened the car. Somebody must have hit me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that is a white pole. And I was like on
Speaker 1: the on the we're on our way to them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was kind of defending him because I still
Speaker 1: didn't know him that well and Jane was lightening him up,
Speaker 1: lighting him, but I could tell he was lying. I
Speaker 1: knew him right, Jane has been was friends with him
Speaker 1: for like ten years. So I was like, hey, easy,
Speaker 1: like you don't know, like, let him make some easily.
Speaker 1: She's like, no, I know him. He's lying, and come
Speaker 1: to find out, he definitely did. Yeah. It's like the
Speaker 1: pole did not just come attack my car. Whoever was
Speaker 1: driving pulls have minds of their own. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no driving. It's so funny that how you do rely
Speaker 1: on that backup camera. So yeah, but I want to
Speaker 1: get like a Ford Escort when the kids get older
Speaker 1: and are driving, because that's like the card. That's the
Speaker 1: card my sister drove, and that's the car I learned
Speaker 1: how to drive stick on. I want the kids to
Speaker 1: be able to drive stick and use their mirrors. Here's
Speaker 1: a question for you. Are you the parent that gives
Speaker 1: your kids a car or makes them work for it?
Speaker 1: You're asking me you gotta work for it. That's not
Speaker 1: what you said, You're that's not what you said. What
Speaker 1: do you mean you totally changed your answer. Here's you
Speaker 1: totally change. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. You're like, Well,
Speaker 1: if they're playing sports and they're you know, if they
Speaker 1: look I will. I don't want to help them out
Speaker 1: with a car. If they're just sitting on there but
Speaker 1: going to school coming home, and that's it. If they're working,
Speaker 1: or they have a lot of extracurricular activities including sports,
Speaker 1: and so they don't have as much time to earn
Speaker 1: money for a car, whatever it may be, they can
Speaker 1: influence online through a couple of swipe ups. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: willing to help them out. And if they are working
Speaker 1: in other ways, they just have to be a productive person. See,
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be really hard for me because I
Speaker 1: had to buy my own car. Like, I think there's
Speaker 1: something so some work, like the work ethic behind paying
Speaker 1: for your own car. I'm like, Okay, my parents don't
Speaker 1: have the money to get me a car. I have
Speaker 1: to work for my car. You know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just think there's something that was that. I think
Speaker 1: that was the moment that for me in my mind
Speaker 1: created the oh crap, if I'm if I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: something in my life. I have to work for it,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that's where like the beginning
Speaker 1: of where my work ethic came from. That makes sense, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it does. You Know what I'm curious about
Speaker 1: with Jolie and Jason's I wonder if they're going to
Speaker 1: want a driver's license when they turned sixteen, you know,
Speaker 1: because I've met so many kids like my parents that say,
Speaker 1: like my kid's eighteen and he has no intention of
Speaker 1: getting his license, Like they just feel like that sense
Speaker 1: of freedom that came with it, Like like when we
Speaker 1: were sixteen, that was everything, you know, like that's all
Speaker 1: I wanted. But now it's like, hey, man, let me
Speaker 1: sit in my room. I got this, you know, like
Speaker 1: I can hang out with my friends here. I don't
Speaker 1: need to do that. And like, like my wife didn't
Speaker 1: get her driver's license until she was six. I taught
Speaker 1: her how to drive, which is a weird thing to do.
Speaker 1: Why didn't want she she just didn't see a need
Speaker 1: for it. And then at a certain point she was like,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of afraid of it, Like I don't I
Speaker 1: don't want to be behind this not you know, two
Speaker 1: thousand pound torpedo. Uh. And then we moved to l A.
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I gotta get a license now,
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, and you know, and she's she's the
Speaker 1: same age as me or in our thirties. But I
Speaker 1: just feel like there's gonna be a whole generation of
Speaker 1: kids that are like they have to be like pushed
Speaker 1: by their parents to get their license because it's like
Speaker 1: it's a pain in the ask, you guys, know, like,
Speaker 1: but but also it opens up the whole world. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: And I mean, like you said, Eastern when are generation.
Speaker 1: It was like I got my permit the first day
Speaker 1: I was eligible, I got my license, Yeah, exactly, whatever
Speaker 1: it was fifteen and three months sixteen, Like I was
Speaker 1: that day. I was making sure I got everything I
Speaker 1: needed to. So the day I turned sixteen and whatever
Speaker 1: it was, I was out peace see you. So that
Speaker 1: that is interesting though, especially with ride sharing and and
Speaker 1: being able to hang out with your friends, you know,
Speaker 1: with your phone and all of that. When we drove
Speaker 1: to our friend's house, what do you guys remember the
Speaker 1: first time you drove? Yes, tell me. I got my
Speaker 1: driver's license and then I borrowed I didn't have a
Speaker 1: car at the time, so I borrowed my mom's car,
Speaker 1: and I remember her saying, the gaslights on, but you
Speaker 1: still got like thirty miles out of it before you
Speaker 1: have to go get gas. But so uh. And I
Speaker 1: remember like being able to pick whatever music I wanted
Speaker 1: was a really big deal. And I went and picked
Speaker 1: up my girlfriend from school and we went to I
Speaker 1: think we went to McDonald's. Then I brought her back
Speaker 1: to her house and I drove home and I was like,
Speaker 1: I was I was five, I was sixteen, and so
Speaker 1: was she. It was all above board. I was I
Speaker 1: was the first of my friends to get the driver's license,
Speaker 1: and it was, you know, I gotta I bought myself
Speaker 1: a red Ailero um and I I told my mom.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just going to pick up Lisa,
Speaker 1: like just me and Lisa. I had eight girls packed
Speaker 1: in my red Alero. We're going to seven eleven to
Speaker 1: get slurpees. And then I didn't. I probably told my
Speaker 1: mom like the truth about a few years ago. I
Speaker 1: was like, you no, no, there was there was about
Speaker 1: eight girls in that car, like we were just bumped
Speaker 1: into like in sing getting slurpees. It was I drove
Speaker 1: to work. I was a lifeguard because it was the
Speaker 1: summertime that I was able to get my license, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to go to work to go to the pool.
Speaker 1: I go tore my whistle memory lane here whistles. You
Speaker 1: guys get your license? Did you get the first time?
Speaker 1: Did you have to retake the test first time? Or
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I think I cheated in Um however,
Speaker 1: well because like driver's at okay, driver's a yeah, yeah, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: but now I failed a few times. Probably it's so
Speaker 1: tricky you know there, it's like they make it they
Speaker 1: really second guess. Yeah, it's like you know, they make
Speaker 1: you second guess. I don't. I've never been a good
Speaker 1: test taker. That's the thing. My teachers would always say,
Speaker 1: she's really smart, she's um, well, I would know what
Speaker 1: they say, really smart. But I was never a good
Speaker 1: test taker. I think the questions or the other options,
Speaker 1: and like, well that could potentially maybe be the next,
Speaker 1: the other the other. Maybe you should have been a
Speaker 1: lawyer or a politician. Okay, super excited because today's guests
Speaker 1: we have Clint Black and his wife Lisa hartman Um
Speaker 1: coming on the show. Clint Black is like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean talk about high school and live in the
Speaker 1: good old days. He's one of the biggest country stars ever. Um,
Speaker 1: so excited to have him on the show. And before that,
Speaker 1: let's take a break. All right. We have two huge
Speaker 1: legends on our show today that we're very excited to
Speaker 1: talk to you about a lot of different things. We
Speaker 1: have the one and only country superstar Clint Black and
Speaker 1: then successful music artists and actress Miss Lisa Hartman. Welcome
Speaker 1: to wind down. Oh my goodness, it's so nice to
Speaker 1: talk to you guys. Um Hey, a little fun fact.
Speaker 1: She was supposed to play my Mom, which he was
Speaker 1: to be the general Welcome Home Christmas. That didn't happen
Speaker 1: because you said you didn't want to act. Clint, you
Speaker 1: told me you didn't want to act. Well, that was
Speaker 1: one part of it was I wasn't ready to jump down.
Speaker 1: I had a lot of other things going on, including
Speaker 1: might ask oh, So that's why we couldn't say yeah.
Speaker 1: We couldn't say it was so hard. I love the role,
Speaker 1: I love the whole thing. It was so sweet, and
Speaker 1: I love the general. I want this this guy anyway
Speaker 1: was this guy because they weren't going to be together.
Speaker 1: I'm at home now, I'm this guy at home that
Speaker 1: created when he read that scrip that's his client. Well
Speaker 1: it would have been fun. But maybe the next one
Speaker 1: will we can do that. Um, how is filming the
Speaker 1: Mass Singer? It was? It was grueling. It was it
Speaker 1: was TV. You know, it was you know what I'm
Speaker 1: used to, you know, being out on tour. You you
Speaker 1: go on your routine and when it's time to go on,
Speaker 1: you go on. But in TV, of course you uh,
Speaker 1: in this case, you put on an owl costume and
Speaker 1: you start sweating immediately, go and get in an egg
Speaker 1: that you can't walk round in and you have to
Speaker 1: move across the stage in it, and you know, break
Speaker 1: your leg, almost fall off the stage, and then you don't.
Speaker 1: Your heart rate goes way up and then you sing
Speaker 1: just little stuff like that crazy and uh, and so
Speaker 1: you're just and of course, you know, once the taping starts,
Speaker 1: they have to turn off the AC units in the
Speaker 1: sound stage because they make a noise and you feel
Speaker 1: it instantly, and now you're really sweating. And then the
Speaker 1: judge panel starts talking and everybody says what they and
Speaker 1: then Ken goes into his long diet tribe and and
Speaker 1: you know, I lost five pounds just every time Ken talked,
Speaker 1: so you know, it was it was strange and and
Speaker 1: different and you know, unbelievable. I've always wondered, did you
Speaker 1: guys do do the contestants? You guys get to pick
Speaker 1: your costume at all. So yeah, we we well, they
Speaker 1: showed the first one and we didn't love it. We said,
Speaker 1: you know, we really like to go more in this direction.
Speaker 1: And they came back with the second one and it's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they sent a sketch in the Faberge egg and the
Speaker 1: whole thing, and we were just we fell in love instantly.
Speaker 1: And then when we got to the set, they brought
Speaker 1: us in early to see if we could, you know,
Speaker 1: so we could get used to the egg, see if
Speaker 1: we could fit. And we're thinking, you know, and it
Speaker 1: was really tricky. The thing opens up right, and you
Speaker 1: go in and they zip tie you in, and you've
Speaker 1: got handbrakes and these bars, and the thing has a
Speaker 1: mind of its own. I mean, you want to go
Speaker 1: this way, and it's like you also have stage hands
Speaker 1: who have minds there and a stage manager who wants
Speaker 1: to have control of their minds and our minds, and
Speaker 1: he's moving over here. Here we go. You feel like
Speaker 1: Fred Flintstone with his little toes in the car. It's
Speaker 1: true in the little egg, it's going to be a
Speaker 1: broken ankle here you just your human puppet that at
Speaker 1: that moment, Yeah, it was that. It was you know,
Speaker 1: so you you you suit up, get the thing in.
Speaker 1: You know, youve got to sing live. You get any
Speaker 1: egg you get, you go down the layer. Now you're
Speaker 1: on your mark. You think, no, we're not on the mark.
Speaker 1: We had to get on the market is all this
Speaker 1: stuff you can't see and go, you know, and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And then you finish and you're relieved
Speaker 1: and you hope you've done a great job or a
Speaker 1: good job. And then Ken goes off and then there's
Speaker 1: Kenny Well. I remember when dirt was first invented? Do
Speaker 1: you guys? So the Mass Singer has been a huge show.
Speaker 1: I think too much surprise to a lot of the masses.
Speaker 1: And now that you guys have been on it, what
Speaker 1: do you think from an internal perspective? Has been the
Speaker 1: major draw to to this show because you look at
Speaker 1: it on paper and it's kind of like and this
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be anything, and it's been huge. It's positivity
Speaker 1: it's it's all positive, uplifting everybody coming to the whole family.
Speaker 1: And uh and and now with this new season where
Speaker 1: they had to adapt, you know, you've got all this
Speaker 1: animation involved and uh, I think you know, any generation
Speaker 1: can enjoy it. But there's also you know, it's a
Speaker 1: competition and that's what we like, right. Yeah. But did
Speaker 1: you ever think you'd be dressing up and like the
Speaker 1: costumes like this, like thirty years ago. Did would you
Speaker 1: really be like, oh, wow, I'm gonna be dressed up
Speaker 1: in this One day? You get the email and you
Speaker 1: look at it and you go listen to this email. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, because we're lucky, we get you know, lots
Speaker 1: of offers to do things and uh, and then this
Speaker 1: one comes in. Okay, oh man, can you believe that?
Speaker 1: And then we looked at each other like maybe we
Speaker 1: should do that. And then it was meanwhile, I'm pressuring
Speaker 1: you to be in my movie and you're like, I'm
Speaker 1: about to go be an owl, but I can't tell
Speaker 1: you to everyone. You guys were the first duo are
Speaker 1: going the mass singer? Did you think that was uh,
Speaker 1: you know, beneficial like in your in your wearhouse to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, this is an advantage or do you
Speaker 1: think it was a disadvantage. Well, we love the idea
Speaker 1: of working together doing something together. We all we've done
Speaker 1: a lot of things together, um, but this was definitely
Speaker 1: completely new to both of us, which was kind of
Speaker 1: fun because we were both on the same level of
Speaker 1: you know, not knowing anything and and facing the same challenges.
Speaker 1: And there were some advantages and some disadvantages. Uh, advantages
Speaker 1: as you know, we've got these these harmonies we can
Speaker 1: work in and we're two characters interacting with each other
Speaker 1: up there, um, and uh, you know, some of the
Speaker 1: disadvantages were you know, the song selection was much harder
Speaker 1: when you're choosing a duet. Can you know, does it
Speaker 1: fit us? Does you know, will the key work, the
Speaker 1: melodies work? You know, can we both hit these um
Speaker 1: as it? You know? Can we try it down? Will
Speaker 1: it still be competitive if we try up it down
Speaker 1: and lose you know, of the song? And then uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we couldn't work the stage. We were pretty
Speaker 1: much confined to that egg. We were going to break
Speaker 1: out of it um eventually, but I didn't get there.
Speaker 1: So I think all in all, the advantage disadvantage. It
Speaker 1: kind of wighs it weighs itself out and balances out.
Speaker 1: We both felt like, you know, we were so probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it alone. I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's hard to look back, but we were just so
Speaker 1: it was so much fun to be able to do
Speaker 1: it together and share some kind of experience like that together.
Speaker 1: And that's what I was gonna say, you know, with
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, my husband and I we worked together
Speaker 1: to just like you guys do, and there's so much
Speaker 1: to be said, like, you know, and I would go
Speaker 1: out and perform I missed, you know. I like performing
Speaker 1: with my husband now and having our kind of show
Speaker 1: and doing our stuff. But there's challenges that come along
Speaker 1: with that as well, working with your spouse. So I'm
Speaker 1: curious what is some of the biggest challenges that you
Speaker 1: guys have had to face working as a couple. It's
Speaker 1: really hard for her. I'm always right, Clint, you and
Speaker 1: I suffer from the same thing. Then it's unbelievable. No,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't we have Maybe we're lucky. I
Speaker 1: don't know we were we yeah, we are lucky, of course,
Speaker 1: but I mean we tend to be very in tune
Speaker 1: to the other ones like if I'm having a moment,
Speaker 1: he'll just back off and vice versa. Right, and we
Speaker 1: have moments. You know, it's like in thirty years, I
Speaker 1: go the cake because baked. We know each other so
Speaker 1: well and we're very considerate of each other. That's one
Speaker 1: thing we all people say, how do you do? One word?
Speaker 1: Consideration and communication? We talk about everything. We never leave
Speaker 1: anything unsaid. We deal with it right then. Trust me,
Speaker 1: never leaves anything. Oh, Michael just told me they're not
Speaker 1: You always have to have a feeling about something, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I just gotta express what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: You just have to listen. I go, where you listening?
Speaker 1: And now who go? No, I'll make a cup of
Speaker 1: coffee in the morning and uh and she'll she'll she'll
Speaker 1: saying something and three minutes later, I see all I said.
Speaker 1: It was a good morning. It makes me think of
Speaker 1: the the old joke. You know. Uh, my wife just
Speaker 1: said to me, you know, you haven't been listening to
Speaker 1: a word I've said, And I thought to myself, what
Speaker 1: a strange way to start a conversation. So good, Oh, listen,
Speaker 1: I just don't always like what comes out. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is, so you know, but
Speaker 1: we love each other when it all satting down, we
Speaker 1: love each other, and you love each other. And two people,
Speaker 1: two people building their lives together, living together, you know
Speaker 1: you're going to We figured it out. You you look
Speaker 1: out for the things that irritate and annoy and embarrass
Speaker 1: and frustrate, and then I just stopped doing them. And
Speaker 1: that's how it works. Well. You know, it's funny because
Speaker 1: we were just having this conversation trying queer, I'm trying,
Speaker 1: and he's just like, there's He's like, I just feel
Speaker 1: like there's always something you got to say that I'm
Speaker 1: you know, not doing right or doing wrong, and you know,
Speaker 1: and he's like, and I'm kind of like, we'll just
Speaker 1: don't do him how you say it, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're kind, you know, I mean, nobody likes Husbands are
Speaker 1: used to hearing things put a certain way that they
Speaker 1: can adapt to, Like your stupid idiot, no like that
Speaker 1: you really want to hear it that way so that
Speaker 1: you can know. I think you said early on, which
Speaker 1: I think is really golden, and we've said it to Lily,
Speaker 1: our daughters, and I can't remember exactly. Always I Butcher.
Speaker 1: You say it so well, but it's basically, if if
Speaker 1: you if I've hurt your feelings, what is it? What's it?
Speaker 1: You can't blame a blind man for stepping on your toes.
Speaker 1: I mean, once he's there and you'll let him know,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't get off, you can start to
Speaker 1: blame him. But you know, when you when I mean
Speaker 1: all our years of marriage, I mean we could be
Speaker 1: out with friends, or can be a look across the room,
Speaker 1: you know, and if it makes you feel something, you know,
Speaker 1: bring it up later and just you know, say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you looked at me that way. You know
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, it was kind of I
Speaker 1: was stepping in something and you know you gave me
Speaker 1: that look and just like, oh no, I was just
Speaker 1: trying to hold in a burb you know, or whatever.
Speaker 1: It could be anything. It doesn't if you if you
Speaker 1: assume the best, then you give your maid a chance
Speaker 1: to explain what was really going on. If you assume
Speaker 1: the worst, then you can live with that sort of resentment.
Speaker 1: And Roy Rogers, when he found out we were getting married,
Speaker 1: said I'll give you one piece of advice. Don't ever
Speaker 1: go to bed angry and I've read you know, psychology books,
Speaker 1: and and one of them they said the same thing
Speaker 1: in a very complicated way, which was, if you have
Speaker 1: marks of drop some mercury on a table, that this
Speaker 1: is one emotion, one event, right, and then a day later,
Speaker 1: there's another drop that comes along, and then another one
Speaker 1: a day later, a week later, another one, and and
Speaker 1: mercury joins together into a single blob. So you can't
Speaker 1: separate it out days later and identify that one thing.
Speaker 1: So you have to keep clearing it off the table
Speaker 1: as you go. And if you do that, then you
Speaker 1: will grow together and you'll you'll start to realize, you
Speaker 1: know it really uh, you know irritates me when she
Speaker 1: burns the chicken. She knows that now she won't do
Speaker 1: that anymore. Now there there there are things that we're
Speaker 1: going to do that are going to irritate each other. You.
Speaker 1: I don't care if your brother and sister, if you
Speaker 1: have a business partnership, or you're a married couple, um whatever,
Speaker 1: the two people can't live together without that. You can't
Speaker 1: because we're humans. So um, you know it's you gotta
Speaker 1: just kind of as you go say you know, hey,
Speaker 1: when you did that, that kind of made me feel bad. Okay.
Speaker 1: I like what you said about assuming assuming the best
Speaker 1: instead of assuming the worst. And I think both of
Speaker 1: us are guilty at times, at more of the of
Speaker 1: the ladder of assuming the worst, of just making up
Speaker 1: that the worst case scenario. They're thinking this or they're
Speaker 1: thinking that, or when probably more times than not, it's
Speaker 1: not the case her heart and she knows your heart, right,
Speaker 1: I will say to him, I know who you are.
Speaker 1: I know you didn't mean that, but it sounded kind
Speaker 1: of I know you're not stupid, you just act that way.
Speaker 1: You're sure you do know each other's hearts. You know
Speaker 1: what's in your heart, deep in your heart. You know
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and it's okay to say. Look,
Speaker 1: I know who you are, I love you, and I
Speaker 1: know what your heart. I know you and I know
Speaker 1: you didn't mean it that way, but it sounded a
Speaker 1: little funny when and it kind of hurt my feelings,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's when you run out there and
Speaker 1: I work really really hard at coming up with and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You have a therapy session. I
Speaker 1: know how do hum street you for this therapy? A
Speaker 1: lot A lot relationship or heart though, you know, and
Speaker 1: after thirty years, you know, we you know, and we've
Speaker 1: had friends who you know, it didn't work out, and
Speaker 1: you know, there's never really anything you can do. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just a it's just a really
Speaker 1: you have to work really hard growing together and not
Speaker 1: a part. That's it. And what do you and you
Speaker 1: think that to to not have that happen is to
Speaker 1: just communicate and do all the things to to over
Speaker 1: communicate and express your feelings. Yeah, here comes out over
Speaker 1: communication we're talking about Michael. Yeah, no, I mean I
Speaker 1: think again it really boils down to you know, each
Speaker 1: other's hearts. That's really it's really that simple. You have
Speaker 1: to even you have to assume. You have to assume
Speaker 1: the best. We're both trying for the same thing and
Speaker 1: we're both going to fail at times and fall short.
Speaker 1: Well where what what area, Clint? Could you could you do?
Speaker 1: Be a better husband? There's nothing nothing I can do?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, when you can't, I think every one of us,
Speaker 1: you know, Um, you know I zone out sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't ask enough questions. Um, you know it's a male
Speaker 1: female that's yeah, mature where we're just really not that
Speaker 1: interested in other people you want to get off the phone,
Speaker 1: and she'll say, well, what's happening with with your you know, brother,
Speaker 1: whoever you're talking to. I'll go, uh, did you ask?
Speaker 1: Did you ask? It sounds like our conversation pretty much
Speaker 1: to the t. And then he gets annoyed for me
Speaker 1: asking the question. And I'm like, well, what is so
Speaker 1: what I do? I said, because I'm a I now
Speaker 1: we do things in our our therapists like, so he
Speaker 1: would get annoyed by my question. So now I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just tweeting. Are asking questions because I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious. I'm genuinely just curious. I'm not testing you.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to find I'm just curious. I'm a
Speaker 1: very curious person. I like to ask questions. I'm the
Speaker 1: same exact way, no bs, I hander a little piece
Speaker 1: of paper with the person's phone, and I think. I
Speaker 1: think it's the thing. Women want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: work through it, understand it, to analyze it sometime, lalla,
Speaker 1: and men just want to fix it and move on,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that I'm gonna cry. I
Speaker 1: think you once you both, I'm serious. I think once
Speaker 1: you both accept that. You know, I'm crying for many reasons.
Speaker 1: I'm not crying, Okay, I feel like i want to cry,
Speaker 1: but it's no, No, it's true. I mean I think
Speaker 1: once you accept that, it makes it so much easier.
Speaker 1: I think that's the emotion that's coming over me now.
Speaker 1: Once you accept that that's who, and that's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: That's a great thing because you're gonna need her to
Speaker 1: ask those questions about something many times in your life
Speaker 1: and he's and you're gonna need him vice for for
Speaker 1: us to go. Okay, she'll say things, call me or
Speaker 1: call one of your girlfriends, right, and you're going, it's
Speaker 1: that's gonna you're gonna get to that place. And then
Speaker 1: you're going to do the other thing too. She'll save
Speaker 1: your life by asking one day, is that do you
Speaker 1: think you should have the gas can that close to
Speaker 1: the fire pit? Well? No, maybe maybe not, you know,
Speaker 1: but the the other thing, you know that that you know,
Speaker 1: we know we know ourselves now, you know, and uh
Speaker 1: uh And so you know, if she starts with a
Speaker 1: bunch of questions, you know I can I can just
Speaker 1: tell her I'm really tired, test me, and we can
Speaker 1: laugh about it and I go away and we have to.
Speaker 1: You can't ask me now, you know, And so we
Speaker 1: make light of it, and uh, you know our daughter
Speaker 1: when you know, we'd be lecturing her and she'd just
Speaker 1: be up. And I finally as said, you know, we
Speaker 1: do this because we love you. You're welcome. So now
Speaker 1: all I have to say is you're welcome. And it
Speaker 1: turns her. She relates it back to the whole point
Speaker 1: of it, you know. So it's uh, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: something that we all deal with and and it's and
Speaker 1: it's sort of accepting that it's going to happen and
Speaker 1: that it uh and that you have to you have
Speaker 1: to work it out. It's great to hear. You know.
Speaker 1: You guys have a therapist. We have a an old
Speaker 1: friend who's just a really wise guy when it comes
Speaker 1: to parenting, and we can call him up and uh,
Speaker 1: he's like a therapist and you just you know, say, hey,
Speaker 1: what you go. When my kids were thirteen, they were
Speaker 1: really selfish. Yours is too, That's it, you know, and
Speaker 1: so you kind of get a different perspective. I love
Speaker 1: it well, clintonly, So we know you have a full
Speaker 1: day of stuff to do. We really appreciate it. We
Speaker 1: can probably cancel it. There are a couple of therapy
Speaker 1: session tomorrow. I'm just I'm just gonna keep thinking. When
Speaker 1: Clint was like, man, we just don't like other people
Speaker 1: all that much. He enjoy yourselves. I always enjoyed myself
Speaker 1: the other people. That's right. Five years, five years, good
Speaker 1: for you, five years to kids and just a happy
Speaker 1: love story. That's right. Two kids, yeah, um, five and two. Come.
Speaker 1: You know what the secret is right to staying married?
Speaker 1: Don't get divorced. That's it, as simple as that, honey,
Speaker 1: because you make it so easy. We got this, We
Speaker 1: got this. We have this song for you, guys. Some
Speaker 1: new duet I wrote for us. I don't I've done
Speaker 1: so many interviews. I don't know if I mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 1: So I wrote a new duet because we had so
Speaker 1: much fun on the masks and uh, and it starts
Speaker 1: off with I can tell you how the story never ends.
Speaker 1: When is it coming out? It's a it's available for
Speaker 1: saving uh now, but it starts streaming on December three,

Speaker 1: that'll that'll be our shows there on December two, but
Speaker 1: you can go ahead and start getting there are some

Speaker 1: I love it. Well, we'll see you there. Thank you everyone.
Speaker 1: Go to Clint Black dot com and get the new
Speaker 1: song duet. Love you guys so much. Thank you, and
Speaker 1: let's let's hang soon. Appreciate it alright, alright bye, Clint
Speaker 1: Black a better man. Ah, it's just too good. I
Speaker 1: would have told, like my high school self, I would
Speaker 1: be interviewing Pin Black wife, like come on, just yucking
Speaker 1: it up, like let's have let's have coffee. They're definitely
Speaker 1: ones that I would hang out with. Yeah. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: like you said, like I would love to just sit
Speaker 1: and have a coffee with Clint and just have them
Speaker 1: tell me stories. Yeah, and saying his wife me and
Speaker 1: Lisa can just like ask each other questions. You two
Speaker 1: can be in one room just chirping away. Clinton. I
Speaker 1: will be in the other room just not saying a word,
Speaker 1: talking about yourselves. Another I'm great, are you? I'm great?
Speaker 1: All right? I don't like other people to me either.
Speaker 1: That was hilarious to me. Hey, do we have any emails?
Speaker 1: All right? This is from Sydney. My husband and I
Speaker 1: got married in June. We've been together for a little
Speaker 1: over three years. He has a best friend who's a woman,
Speaker 1: and it's always been a little weird to me, but
Speaker 1: I've just dealt with it. I don't usually go through
Speaker 1: his phone, but I did the other day because it
Speaker 1: just happened to be right there. Her grandma passed away
Speaker 1: and he was saying his condolences. He said he's there
Speaker 1: for that, he loves her, and he continued to check
Speaker 1: up on her over the next few days. She's married,
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's anything to be worried about.
Speaker 1: But isn't that her husband's job to be there for
Speaker 1: I talked with my husband about boundaries and asked if
Speaker 1: he could just include me in the conversations going forward
Speaker 1: and no private messaging. He didn't give me a direct answer,
Speaker 1: but said he's going to need to tell her everything
Speaker 1: that happened now so she doesn't think he's an a hole.
Speaker 1: To me, that validates that he puts her feelings before mine.
Speaker 1: Is that how you see it or am I being insensitive?
Speaker 1: This is an interesting question, but no, I don't think
Speaker 1: what she's asking is insensitive. I think it's appropriate just
Speaker 1: to be included in those messages. And I think if
Speaker 1: he you know, ultimately what matters are her feelings over
Speaker 1: his friends. But that doesn't mean he has to undermine
Speaker 1: his friends feelings and just text her and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I mean, but that's hard too, because if he texts
Speaker 1: his friend and says, hey, just you know, for my
Speaker 1: wife for sending me to feel more comfortable, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna include the three of us in a group chat.
Speaker 1: And then would would would Sydney feel weird that he
Speaker 1: said that to her? Would the friend feel awkward? Because
Speaker 1: because now it's like this thing, because it's mentioned. Now
Speaker 1: it's a thing, you know what I mean, Like turning
Speaker 1: something nothing into something that's a hard one. The best
Speaker 1: friend things tough, especially with the opposite sex, just because
Speaker 1: you have to protect your other spouse. But you have
Speaker 1: to protect your spouse, but you still have that friendship.
Speaker 1: But if it's of the opposite sex, you can definitely
Speaker 1: get jealous about that. If you're now I think if
Speaker 1: it's you know, his grandma passing away, and you've always
Speaker 1: been fine with it before, then I think there isn't
Speaker 1: anything fishy m So if it's if it's just kind
Speaker 1: of out of the blue and he continues to text her,
Speaker 1: then I you know, I think a few more check
Speaker 1: ins like hey, you good, like I know Mike would
Speaker 1: do the same if he if you know, if any
Speaker 1: of our friends people passed away, like checking on you,
Speaker 1: making sure you're good. But beyond that kind of communication,
Speaker 1: I don't you know, if it becomes more intense, then
Speaker 1: I would have stronger feelings about it. But because it
Speaker 1: was the best friend before, you know, it is hit
Speaker 1: her grandma. But I can totally see you being like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I just see the messages so I feel more comfortable?
Speaker 1: I think that'd be fine to ask. Yeah, I would,
Speaker 1: and it is her husband's job to console. But I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people find comfort and friends too.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but if it bothers you, I would just
Speaker 1: be like, hey, for some reason, this is coming up
Speaker 1: for me and I'm starting to get like jealous and
Speaker 1: feels a little weird. So do you mind if I
Speaker 1: just look at your phone or see the messages? And
Speaker 1: I think that's a better compromise. Than being included. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like the included thing just feels that rubs
Speaker 1: me weird, That's what I'm saying. That is uncomfortable. Then
Speaker 1: you're taking nothing and turning it into something. I don't
Speaker 1: like that because then the friend feel awkward around Sydney
Speaker 1: and her husband, and then it's just like this, there's
Speaker 1: this tension in the year that. But you would think
Speaker 1: that they would be like friends though all of them, right,
Speaker 1: that's what they probably are. Maybe not like super close.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're geographically they live in different areas, but east
Speaker 1: and what we're gonna say, what what about this? Though? Uh?
Speaker 1: What if like the wife or Sydney starts the group
Speaker 1: text between the three and says, like, you know, so
Speaker 1: and so told me about your loss. I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that, Like you know, we're here for you
Speaker 1: if you need anything, and like starts that message that way,
Speaker 1: not by like announcing like by the way, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be monitoring, you know, because I was thinking, like my
Speaker 1: wife and I we have group text with almost all
Speaker 1: of our friends just because so we're not doubling up
Speaker 1: on sending the same like dumb picture to you know,
Speaker 1: so the way, Yeah, and and you know, and it does.
Speaker 1: It's not like neither of us have anything to hide
Speaker 1: or anything, but it does make it just easy to
Speaker 1: see the information that's being exchanged. Uh. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that like they need to be like
Speaker 1: the three of them need to be the best their friends,
Speaker 1: but I think that might open up that idea of
Speaker 1: having like access to everything without it being this big
Speaker 1: announcement like that there's trust being broken or something like that.
Speaker 1: So I don't know's I love that and it kind
Speaker 1: of makes her feel included in it too, while also
Speaker 1: offering her condolences, I'm sure, And so yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: And if he's weird about that, then I would be like,
Speaker 1: so that's a great idea. The only obstacle I foresee
Speaker 1: is Okay, that's great. But then maybe the best friend,
Speaker 1: just after this passes, goes back to texting just him
Speaker 1: because they're they're best friends, And so is it then
Speaker 1: is it Sydney's Husband's responsibility to be like, hey, text
Speaker 1: me and the chat, because then you're dealt with the
Speaker 1: same obstacle, you know what I mean? So, now if
Speaker 1: the if the best friend continues to text in the
Speaker 1: chain with with Sydney and the husband, then then that's great.
Speaker 1: But there is that obstacle where if she doesn't, and
Speaker 1: I will say if I was the best friend's husband,
Speaker 1: like if you if you were going to a male friend,
Speaker 1: like you have more male friends female friends, like any
Speaker 1: of my female friends are your friends. So if you
Speaker 1: went to a male friend of yours and you were
Speaker 1: confiding in him about things that you haven't confided in me,
Speaker 1: I'll be upset. Yeah, you know, and I would be
Speaker 1: too if you do the same right now, it's it's
Speaker 1: if you're doing it also, that's fine, But if you're
Speaker 1: saying things that you haven't told me, then yeah, tricky one.
Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope that helps Sydney. All right,
Speaker 1: that was an awesome show and great email to end
Speaker 1: it with. So, uh, why don't you give someone a
Speaker 1: nice little love tapping a little note. That's our challenge
Speaker 1: for the week. Love tap somebody on the butt and
Speaker 1: leave him a note. All right, see you next week.
