Speaker 1: Welcome to episode three oh three. And this is always
Speaker 1: fun for me because we're going to play you back
Speaker 1: the On Time with Bobby Bones, the show that I
Speaker 1: do from my house where Jake Owen and Larry Fleet
Speaker 1: both came in and we do jokes and it's good

Speaker 1: It's basically a Bobby cast on steroids. Right yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: really good. So before we get to that, though, let
Speaker 1: us do the new music Top five things I'm most
Speaker 1: excited about this week. Jimmy Allen has a new album
Speaker 1: called Betty James Gold Edition, and here's a new song
Speaker 1: called Flavor with pit Bull. I mean he's up by
Speaker 1: and that song huh wow. Number four. Ashley Cook has

Speaker 1: too bad we already drank. At number three, Charlie Worsham
Speaker 1: has a new song out called half Drunk, Half Drunk,
Speaker 1: half drunk, half Crazy. It's been wombab just cause I
Speaker 1: went to what I'm meant to Me and I didn't

Speaker 1: Trace Atkins released a collaboration when Luke Brian and Pittbull
Speaker 1: called Where the Country Girls at Glenn I love it
Speaker 1: was a Luke Bryan song. That's a Tray Atkins song.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a Luke Bryan song on the
Speaker 1: air We're talking about, like is Luke Bryan song? And
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not my favorite. Now that it's Traces,
Speaker 1: I think it's even better, just because I think Trace
Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't sounded extremely contemporary. I think this is a
Speaker 1: very contemporary song for Trace. I give it three and
Speaker 1: three quarter song stars now at three and a half.
Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell has a good Riddance Time of Your Life
Speaker 1: Live from the True Door, which is the Green Day song. Yeah, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, He's not alive. Kind of a postumus release.
Speaker 1: New albums out today, Lady A, What a Song Can Do,
Speaker 1: Chapter one. Brian Kelley from f GL released Sunshine State
Speaker 1: of Mind soundtrack for the new Netflix movie The Ice
Speaker 1: Road Is Out, and Random McGraw, Brantley, Tyler Hubbard, Carly
Speaker 1: Pierce throll on that. Uh and there you go, let's
Speaker 1: see in the news. In Sync and Backstreet put their
Speaker 1: fake feud to rest. They performed together, not all of them.
Speaker 1: Jesse Timberlake wasn't there. It's like a half and half
Speaker 1: the Yeah. Also like Brian Latrelle wasn't there, but they were.
Speaker 1: I was watching. I watched the Instagram stuff like learning
Speaker 1: the dances and stuff. I would maybe go to that tour.
Speaker 1: I think it would be fun. You just don't have
Speaker 1: the big like j c or Jesse and Timberlake wasn't
Speaker 1: there the two real singers of in Sync but the
Speaker 1: Nick Nick Carter, Yeah, Backstreet Boys was there, Joy Fatone,
Speaker 1: Lance Bass and then a j Because within Sync the
Speaker 1: worst two were Joy Fatone and Lance Bass, Right you
Speaker 1: want to put it that way? Yeah, what the way
Speaker 1: would you? Well? The two that did they were never
Speaker 1: in the front. Justin j c Um, I mean Chris was.
Speaker 1: He didn't do a lot, but he'd have the hair
Speaker 1: for a while, like that. Yeah. Uh, the top music
Speaker 1: moments people wish they could have seen live has been released.
Speaker 1: The Top five or Princes Rainy halftime show at super
Speaker 1: Bowl forty one. Remember that, that's pretty cool and that
Speaker 1: was in Minnesota. I believe it was, yes, because it
Speaker 1: was it went all purple and that's why he played.
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive that we looked that up while I'm
Speaker 1: talking two thousand seven super Bowl, the Rolling Stones performing
Speaker 1: at Hyde Park in nineteen sixty nine, the Beatles final
Speaker 1: concert in nineteen sixty nine, which I think with the Beatles,
Speaker 1: I'd rather have seen them on Ed Sullivan in their
Speaker 1: first American performance than their final one. Elton John's Candle
Speaker 1: in the Wind at Princess Diana's funeral in seven and
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangle banner at Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and nine looks like it was in Miami. It was.
Speaker 1: Well then, I'm completely wrong. I know he's from Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I thought that's why he was there. See. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm glad we fact check, because I'd rather be wrong
Speaker 1: here and have you fact checked and have to deal
Speaker 1: with the comments coming in at me. Uh. And Gwen
Speaker 1: and Blake are not married yet. In case you're wondering,
Speaker 1: unless they got married between. We recorded this on Friday
Speaker 1: when it was released, which is like an hour right yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, there you go. Enjoy On Time with Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys, Greetings, people of the Internet. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of On Time with Bobby Bones. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. When I'm not hosting the show on the
Speaker 1: radio or TV with you guys, here, you can find
Speaker 1: me in a warm bathtub with my rubber ducky and
Speaker 1: scented bath bomb. Actually, Caitlin will be in a second.
Speaker 1: That's what I was doing before I came over here.
Speaker 1: Like no, I just had me in a little bath
Speaker 1: I've accomplished some cool stuff in my career, and I've
Speaker 1: been lucky to do so because of you guys is support.
Speaker 1: And most recently, my most recent accomplishment is that my
Speaker 1: new show Breaking Bobby Bones Give This has a squad
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes that is a higher rating than new shows
Speaker 1: like Bridgerton, The Queen's Gambit, and Ted Lasso, and I'm
Speaker 1: actually being told it's now officially the highest reviewed show
Speaker 1: the twenty one century. Well, one person on Twitter told
Speaker 1: me that, but in today's standards that counts, so all
Speaker 1: internet trolls and chew on that. But actually back to
Speaker 1: why we're here tonight, we have some great guest stopping by,
Speaker 1: maybe our strongest show to date. Country superstar Jake Owen
Speaker 1: is in. How literally he's in my house because we
Speaker 1: do this from my house. He's gonna bring his guitar.
Speaker 1: Plus new artist Larry Fleet is here as well, and
Speaker 1: he's bringing a guitar too, and they're both friends and
Speaker 1: we'll find out how that relationship came together. And as
Speaker 1: always we talked about the guests, we like to kick
Speaker 1: things off with the shortest monologue this side of the Mississippi.
Speaker 1: It's not one, not too but it's three quick jokes
Speaker 1: that I have appropriately titled three jokes for the folks.
Speaker 1: Let's go. I think there's music there. I always I
Speaker 1: never know if there's music, So I just if you
Speaker 1: ever see me dancing and there's no music, because I
Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on? All right? First up,
Speaker 1: joke number one. A forty four year old woman of
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's facing charges after she tried to hire a hitman
Speaker 1: to kill her husband for four thousand dollars. She literally
Speaker 1: asked for a payment plan of one hundred bucks a
Speaker 1: week for forty weeks. Apparently, she went to Seedars to
Speaker 1: hire this assassin as part of the new kill Now,
Speaker 1: Pay Later a program, Thank You, Let's go for Joke
Speaker 1: number two. Over the weekend, a man attack to flight
Speaker 1: attendants and threatened to take down a Delta plane. You
Speaker 1: may have seen the video of the incident that shows
Speaker 1: passengers scrambling to restrain the man during the attempt to
Speaker 1: open the cabin door. Midflight. An off duty pilot helps
Speaker 1: subdue the disruptive passenger, who was later taken into federal
Speaker 1: custody and his awaiting charges. The worst part of all
Speaker 1: of this once he landed, since it was Delta, they
Speaker 1: also informed him they had lost all of his luggage.
Speaker 1: And finally, joke number three, an auction winner paid more
Speaker 1: than twenty eight million dollars to be aboard the rocket
Speaker 1: ship launched by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos is new space company.
Speaker 1: You may have seen this. The ride will take place
Speaker 1: on a reusable rocket launched by his company called Blue Origin,
Speaker 1: and reportedly will be a stimulating eleven minute ride into space,
Speaker 1: to which Jeff bezos ex wife replied, stimulating eleven minute ride.
Speaker 1: He told me the same thing. Thank you. Those are
Speaker 1: three jokes for the folks. All right, up, first, we
Speaker 1: always like to check in with my fiance Caitlin. You
Speaker 1: can follow her on Instagram, Kate see Parker, just don't
Speaker 1: follow her in real life. Here she is Caitlin, Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. Oh people don't know that Morgan kid. You
Speaker 1: can put Cameron Morgan. This is the fourth wall here
Speaker 1: Morrigan sits over there and runs the prompter. I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten to talk to her yet today, so I just
Speaker 1: want to say, hey, we were talking in the green
Speaker 1: room with Jaco on a minute ago, and you know,
Speaker 1: Jake's been at the house for like a half hour
Speaker 1: so and he was talking. He goes, hey, so you
Speaker 1: have a nice house. You were to people will robbing you,
Speaker 1: encasing your house, which I thought was a pretty bold
Speaker 1: place to go immediately. I appreciate that shows he was
Speaker 1: comfortable with us because he cared about us. I like
Speaker 1: that in a friend. Um, since the last episode, you
Speaker 1: may not be tracking. As a matter of fact, I
Speaker 1: know you're not tracking this. Yeah, I'm like the last
Speaker 1: as well. Since the last episode, you know, however, two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand followers on Instagram boom over a
Speaker 1: quarter of a million followers. Cool sounds Yeah, you care
Speaker 1: about that a little bit more than I do. What
Speaker 1: is your favorite picture you've recently posted on Instagram? Oh? Recently? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't even know really what I posted? I would say,
Speaker 1: we um, Well, my sister and I she just got married,
Speaker 1: shout out, she's not watching this, but maybe she's on
Speaker 1: her honeymoon. She got married. You know who else got
Speaker 1: married was Mike d who runs the audio also got
Speaker 1: married and has has not gone on a honeymoon yet.
Speaker 1: You have a microphone, now, I do have a microphone.
Speaker 1: Now look at this, it's he's like our Paul Shaffer
Speaker 1: over there. He's got a microphone with a lot less talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you went on a staycation so far, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna go on a real honeymoon, real honeymoon later. Are
Speaker 1: you waiting for the show to take vacation to do? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Have time? Because Mike has as many jobs as I do.
Speaker 1: Because Mike does all the jobs with me. Um, and
Speaker 1: so wedding had marriage has been blank? Uh surreal? I
Speaker 1: would say, what to your what's your since you've been married?
Speaker 1: Now for a while. What's your marriage advice to Caitlin
Speaker 1: and I as we gonna walk down the aisle, I
Speaker 1: would say for the actual wedding, take some moments to
Speaker 1: really enjoy each other, Like even if it's just a
Speaker 1: few minutes that you're like, this is just a moment
Speaker 1: for us. Do that. I love that We're already I'm
Speaker 1: already starting to think through those things like what can
Speaker 1: we do day up to make sure that it's really
Speaker 1: about us and our love? And I think that we
Speaker 1: have made some good decisions that that will help us
Speaker 1: kind of be in the moment. People are pumped. You
Speaker 1: have a mic over on the chat. They said, Mike
Speaker 1: as a mic rejoice. That's right. Um. A couple of
Speaker 1: questions before you go, Caitlin. First of a lot of
Speaker 1: people are commenting on your John party T shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be a guest tonight. I
Speaker 1: got confused. You thought John was gonna be a good
Speaker 1: kidding Okay. I just love John. I love to support. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Squire is really messing with me tonight. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a prank wire. Yeah. Um, has anyone ever
Speaker 1: really asked you for your skincare routine. Yes, oddly took
Speaker 1: a while, but I got there because that's the big
Speaker 1: influencer thing. You guys asked me if my skincare routine,
Speaker 1: but people a few people have asked you. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I would never do that because it's just so lame
Speaker 1: and like, if you really want to know, dm me
Speaker 1: and I might see it and I'll send you the
Speaker 1: girl that helped me with my routine. But like they're
Speaker 1: everyone's skin is different too. That's the thing, Like I
Speaker 1: can't give you well I use it might not work
Speaker 1: on you, and then I'm to blame. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: the good Son scenario. Ever see the good Son I
Speaker 1: haven't either, but I think it's where somebody has to die. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to make the decision on which child you
Speaker 1: want to say, essentially, Eddie or might d Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we're both hanging off a cliff. Which one do you save?
Speaker 1: Eddie because he has poor kids? Dang good some kids.
Speaker 1: Harry Styles are Justin Bieber over Biber. Honestly, I didn't
Speaker 1: even listen to the second name. So now I'm a
Speaker 1: pickle um. Justin Bieber because he has a wife. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: Stanley or Eller are two dogs? Okay? Wrong? How is
Speaker 1: that wrong? You? Joe Stanley? Of course chooseller? Of course.
Speaker 1: Aside from the actual marriage part, what are you most
Speaker 1: looking forward to about the wedding? Um, walking down the
Speaker 1: aisle and our first dance? And I kind of pick
Speaker 1: more than one thing. There's no rules the internet. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think our first dance is just going to be
Speaker 1: so awesome and I'm really looking forward to them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna grind. You're not going to grind. Great, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for spending a few minutes with us. And
Speaker 1: I think, um, are those green cheetah pants? Is that
Speaker 1: those cheetah in their green? Right? What else would they want?
Speaker 1: The colors? I struggle with colors, You know that I got,
Speaker 1: I think so. We had a whole research project today
Speaker 1: that I had to look for two and a half
Speaker 1: hours and they kept showing color bar graphs. Hell, look,
Speaker 1: dark blue means this, dark red shows this, And I'm
Speaker 1: I guess I did. You also have to something your
Speaker 1: color blind because it's not accurate, And my dad gave
Speaker 1: you a diagnosis. He said, you're an color blind blind
Speaker 1: people literally can see no color at all, So you
Speaker 1: need to start saying your color paired. No, no, people
Speaker 1: that say color blind, that's what it means. But that's
Speaker 1: not the definition. Okay, but okay, okay, Well I could
Speaker 1: say I'm six foot tall, but I'm not. But but
Speaker 1: no one's color impaired, No one's color and pairs should
Speaker 1: start because people that are really color blind would like
Speaker 1: to be separated. There's nobody more than you're not watching TV,
Speaker 1: all right, there's yes, everybody, Caitlyn, everybody, thank you very much,
Speaker 1: by Caitlin. They're suffering more than me. By the way,
Speaker 1: I have all my my shirt here because of our
Speaker 1: Jake just hold a good job as she walked out
Speaker 1: on my Hawaiian shirt here. Why are you still talking
Speaker 1: crap outside the door? Caitlyn and j Is that Caitlin

Speaker 1: and he fills out a pair of red blue jeans
Speaker 1: and Hawaiian T shirt like no other You can follow
Speaker 1: him on Instagram Jake own Official. Please welcome Jake Owen. Hey,
Speaker 1: I saw like I saw, I got a patch over
Speaker 1: the weekend, like there was it wasn't it was a
Speaker 1: lot of us was awesome. Man who played the show,
Speaker 1: Uh well that day with myself was Jordan Davis played,
Speaker 1: So it was. But it was a Jake Owen headline show.
Speaker 1: It was how cool, like all seriousness. How cool was
Speaker 1: it to be back on stage with a pat crowd again?
Speaker 1: It was? It was pretty It was pretty incredible and
Speaker 1: like just to see people. Uh well, it was the
Speaker 1: first time I've played Made for You as well since
Speaker 1: it's been a big hit song. Oh really, and uh
Speaker 1: it was. It was I've never felt like that before.
Speaker 1: Like it was the biggest response to a song that
Speaker 1: I've ever had in my life. Did you expect that? No?
Speaker 1: I mean I've played that song for the last few years,
Speaker 1: hoping that one day to become a single, and then
Speaker 1: it did during a pandemic and so I hadn't played
Speaker 1: it and then playing it out for the first time thinks.
Speaker 1: I know. I always tell you this, but like you
Speaker 1: guys really embrace that song and helped make it what
Speaker 1: it was um, but I mean it was loud and
Speaker 1: I just stopped singing. I was just playing. So I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask, is one of those you can just
Speaker 1: shut up and they take it away? Absolutely, it was
Speaker 1: really cool. I don't and I've got a few, you know,
Speaker 1: decent songs, but that one's that one might have taken
Speaker 1: the cake. Was talking with Eddie, my best friend slash producer,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about you today. I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: Jake's coming over to the show, and we have agreed
Speaker 1: that one a song that doesn't get it got respect,
Speaker 1: a lot of respect, but one song that is so
Speaker 1: underrated as like one of the best songs of the
Speaker 1: past ten years in country music is down to the
Speaker 1: hockey talk. Thank you. I appreciate that. Uh that that
Speaker 1: that that song went to number five I think on
Speaker 1: the chart. And so it's the one song off this
Speaker 1: new album, which was kind of like my resurgence of
Speaker 1: an album after leaving my old record label. Um, I
Speaker 1: tell people a lot I like since that point, I've
Speaker 1: kind of had and I think it's ok to have
Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder a little bit, not in
Speaker 1: like an arrogant way, but like it gave me this
Speaker 1: like motivation to want to kind of just be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm still in this game and I can still play,
Speaker 1: you know. And so Jack and Diane went number one.
Speaker 1: Made for You at number one, um for two weeks,
Speaker 1: thank y'all. And then Homemade went number one, but down
Speaker 1: to the Honckey Talk went five, and I was and
Speaker 1: I'm not disappointed with that. But it performs as if
Speaker 1: it was the number one song. And I know you've
Speaker 1: said this before, and a lot of the folks out there, um,
Speaker 1: I don't think they care if songs go number one.
Speaker 1: They just like a good song. And uh, and so
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that that song goes over as well
Speaker 1: as it does. And I bet you live that song.
Speaker 1: It just hits hard. Like if if you were playing
Speaker 1: a show and that song comes on, Um, I mean
Speaker 1: that's probably when I would throw my beer up. And
Speaker 1: I don't drink beer, but I would be like, give
Speaker 1: me a beer to throw up. Yeah, we we I've
Speaker 1: thrown up a few beers in my life. Uh. But
Speaker 1: that song we start our show with now, and it's
Speaker 1: just kind of because it's got a good can you
Speaker 1: start the show with that? We actually revamped our band
Speaker 1: this year after the pandemic. Um, like everything was kind
Speaker 1: of just up in the air. Everybody didn't know what
Speaker 1: they're gonna do, and um, and all of us were
Speaker 1: just in weird spots. And I've got some new guys
Speaker 1: in the band. I made some changes. Still love the
Speaker 1: guys previously, but um, everyone kind of some of my
Speaker 1: guys took other jobs and um. But we have a
Speaker 1: live DJ in our band now because I was always
Speaker 1: a fan growing up of bands like Sublime, Incubition Boys,
Speaker 1: Past Boys. So we have a guy that is in
Speaker 1: our band that literally, when it's time for him to
Speaker 1: take a solo, like he he'll remix the whole song.
Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty cool. And I did think when
Speaker 1: we started to do that, I was like, people are
Speaker 1: either gonna hate this or they're gonna love it. And uh,
Speaker 1: it seems like Myrtle Beach they loved it. So it's
Speaker 1: a good time. And Myrtle Beach is the great indicatory.
Speaker 1: So I saw too, you were holding a brawl up,
Speaker 1: so may throw a braw up on stage? Uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so did you bring my brawl back? That that's me
Speaker 1: as that was you as man just tossed that people
Speaker 1: that they panties up, like underwear. Is that thing for
Speaker 1: you early in your career when you were like single
Speaker 1: Jake or ladies just trying like was that ever a
Speaker 1: thing in your career because it really was a thing
Speaker 1: in like the eighties and the nineties with folks. Yeah there.
Speaker 1: I mean I've had a few, like legitimately, like they
Speaker 1: write their number on it and throw it up. I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, there's been some some some scenarios that have
Speaker 1: looking back on it, even like this past weekend, quite frankly,
Speaker 1: I mean, my beautiful fiance Erica was not too pleased.
Speaker 1: But right, this is about way pat This is like
Speaker 1: depth talking earlier yea, and I got it, but I
Speaker 1: tried not to live in the past, man, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what, moving on and uh, but I will
Speaker 1: say the this weekend, I had a video I posted
Speaker 1: and there was like part of the video where our
Speaker 1: videographer got me slinging this bra around and Erica was like,
Speaker 1: oh you like is that how you are these days?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I love you, I'm coming home
Speaker 1: to you, don't worry about it. So but hey, that's
Speaker 1: kind of and I respect that about not just my
Speaker 1: fiance and and but like all of us as artists are.
Speaker 1: Having a woman stand behind you, uh and and believe
Speaker 1: in you and support you is really fulfilling for what
Speaker 1: we do because it's and it's hard for that woman
Speaker 1: in that position to you know, with stuff like that happening.
Speaker 1: So I love you, babe, because she's watching she watching
Speaker 1: right now? Uh, probably probably not. I will tell you
Speaker 1: before I came here. Um my little girl, Pearl, who
Speaker 1: lives in Naples most of the time with their mom.
Speaker 1: I have her all summer, so she's at the house
Speaker 1: and I said to day, I was like, Pearl, you
Speaker 1: know who Bobby Bones is, right, She's like she's eight
Speaker 1: and she she's like, yeah, I hear him all the
Speaker 1: time on the radio. I was like, um, well, I'm
Speaker 1: going to his house tonight and to play some songs,
Speaker 1: so like, you want to go with me? And she's
Speaker 1: always no. I was like, Okay'll make sure I tell
Speaker 1: him that she's at home just chilling. When you play shows,
Speaker 1: from what I have seen, you don't wear shoes like
Speaker 1: a a stage show. Do you ever wear shoes if
Speaker 1: it's an outdoor stage? Sometimes? And when I do, people
Speaker 1: are like, why is he wearing shoes? Do you ever
Speaker 1: step on anything thing, like totally. That's why I start.
Speaker 1: As I get older, my feet are more sensitive. And
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of years barefoot on stage. And
Speaker 1: a lot of these festival stages, like Myrtle b they
Speaker 1: have long runways or whatever. And then the way that
Speaker 1: they put the stages together. Uh, sometimes at the stage,
Speaker 1: one part of it will be a little higher like that.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you see me on the stage, man,
Speaker 1: but you know, I like to move around and uh,
Speaker 1: I've I've stubbed my big toe a few times. And
Speaker 1: then blood goes everywhere mid set. Oh yeah, so do
Speaker 1: you call for a medic or do you just keep
Speaker 1: rockets rock? I just keep rockets blood everywhere. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw a picture too, because I just obviously watch
Speaker 1: your social like a hawk. I'm obsessed with you. And
Speaker 1: so yeah. One of my first memories of moving to Nashville,
Speaker 1: like big memories, was you throwing a block party. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I actually I don't want to interrupt you. Go ahead. No,
Speaker 1: that was because you know where it's going. It was
Speaker 1: you throwing that block party. And then a lot of
Speaker 1: music growing downtown was just not downtown, but it's near
Speaker 1: downtown for those who don't know, it's just people everywhere.
Speaker 1: And you did a big show and that was it.
Speaker 1: You didn't do it again after that, but no, I
Speaker 1: did it. I did it the following year as well.
Speaker 1: I must miss that one anyway, So I do remember
Speaker 1: being this massive show and kind of like three played it.
Speaker 1: Kind of like three played it. Dirk's played it for
Speaker 1: the Georgia line played it. Thomas Rhett came out and
Speaker 1: played it. You came out and introduced me, which is
Speaker 1: uh as a thank you or I took that photo
Speaker 1: of you in the studio, which I didn't realize it
Speaker 1: was two thousand thirteen until I just saw it hanging
Speaker 1: on your wall out there, which fulfilled my heart to
Speaker 1: know that I kept. I treasured that that I made
Speaker 1: your wall of fame. You know what I'm saying. He
Speaker 1: took the picture, you framed it. It really is the
Speaker 1: old studio. But that's just one of one. It's the
Speaker 1: only one's out there. Uh. If you make that to
Speaker 1: an n f T, let me know we can split
Speaker 1: the proceeds. We're gonna minting it right now. What's the
Speaker 1: deal with the show? You doing another one? Though? Uh?
Speaker 1: Maybe perhaps they kind of want to do it again.
Speaker 1: I think people are ready for another, uh, another big
Speaker 1: shebang here in town, and I'm kind of the guy
Speaker 1: that likes to have a good time. You mentioned your
Speaker 1: daughter earlier. What do your kids think about you being
Speaker 1: a big famous country star or have they always known it?
Speaker 1: Said to them? It's nothing. Well, Preparis is too, so
Speaker 1: she doesn't really she doesn't really get it yet. Uh,
Speaker 1: Pearl does get it, and she doesn't really it doesn't she.
Speaker 1: I think she'd like all kids, they just want their
Speaker 1: parents and their dad. They don't think it's She doesn't
Speaker 1: think it's that cool. I mean, she thinks it's cool
Speaker 1: that we get to go on, you know, cool trips
Speaker 1: together where she gets to ride the bus and um,
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there on the road there
Speaker 1: and my crew, like, I'll make sure that she's taken
Speaker 1: care of with whatever she needs. But she I like
Speaker 1: the fact that she doesn't think that dad's cool because
Speaker 1: he plays music. I'd rather her think I'm cool because
Speaker 1: I'm a cool dad. Dang, what what advice do you
Speaker 1: have for me? You know, it could be a dad
Speaker 1: eventually in the next couple of years. I assume I'm
Speaker 1: talking about more like more like marriage. I like it
Speaker 1: more like marriage, wedding. Um, honestly, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, and I struggle with this, and
Speaker 1: I now realize why as people you are the you're
Speaker 1: going to be the perfect test pilot for a guy that,
Speaker 1: like you were a hard man. I see it from
Speaker 1: afar because I follow your Instagram. I'm obsessed with you. Um,
Speaker 1: but you really do man, I mean just looking around
Speaker 1: knowing what you do just from what I see you do.
Speaker 1: And then the way you work constantly is gonna be
Speaker 1: hard for you when you have when you do have kids, um,
Speaker 1: because your kids become this thing that there's nothing more
Speaker 1: important than that. And I'm now finding myself realizing, like
Speaker 1: I still gotta go out there and work. I still
Speaker 1: gotta go do my thing. And I love that, but
Speaker 1: I don't love it as much as I love my kids.
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's for everyone, but it has
Speaker 1: children like you, just they come first at that point,
Speaker 1: and so it'll be a big transition for you. Uh.
Speaker 1: You're looking at me with these like squinny eyes like
Speaker 1: you don't understand what. No, it's not that telling you
Speaker 1: you'll remember this when you have those that kid for
Speaker 1: the first time and you gotta go and leave them
Speaker 1: for the first time and and talk to him on FaceTime.
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, like it becomes something that's
Speaker 1: normal and you just do it at that point, but
Speaker 1: it becomes harder and harder as they get older, like
Speaker 1: Pearl and nowt I mean, she like, I couldn't go
Speaker 1: see or do gymnastics today because I was like, I
Speaker 1: gotta go do this thing at Bobby's house. So h sorry, Pearl,
Speaker 1: I didn't see a gymnastics, But that's part of life.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gotta work and everybody's gotta do it. But I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, just the feeling you get inside is a
Speaker 1: feeling that you've never had before until you have to
Speaker 1: say bye to your kid that's crying because they don't
Speaker 1: want you to leave. That's something that you can't prepare
Speaker 1: yourself for until it happens. Caitlyn tells me now, she's like, hey,
Speaker 1: when we have kids like all this being gone every
Speaker 1: week for three or four days a week, like they
Speaker 1: can't happen anymore. And I'm like, no, no big deal,
Speaker 1: and no big deal. So right now, because I don't
Speaker 1: have a kid. I don't feel and see that where
Speaker 1: you like me before you had a kid, where you're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna work all But did it flip? A
Speaker 1: really great answer to that question is I was. I
Speaker 1: got my record when I was twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine now be forty this year. It blows
Speaker 1: my mind to think that that amount of time flew
Speaker 1: by that fast. But when I was twenty three years old,
Speaker 1: I had this band, a lot of the same guys
Speaker 1: I have now, honestly, but a lot of them as
Speaker 1: we grew in our careers. I would watch them in
Speaker 1: the bunks when I was like partying late at night
Speaker 1: and like wanting to stick around the venue because I
Speaker 1: was single, and I was just like, I want to
Speaker 1: meet people. I want to have a good time and
Speaker 1: hang out. And they're like, dude, come on, man, let's go,
Speaker 1: Like I gotta get home, like my kids gotta go.
Speaker 1: You know, I have them tomorrow. And there was this
Speaker 1: part of me that just didn't understand that I I
Speaker 1: didn't have kids. I didn't get it until I did.
Speaker 1: And now I'm like, oh man, I feel so bad
Speaker 1: those for those years ago, those guys that wanted to
Speaker 1: get home and see their kids instead of just sticking
Speaker 1: around the venue for another two hours. Um. And I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry, guys, because I know that because they're all watching,
Speaker 1: because they're all watching, But I know that feeling now,
Speaker 1: and um, and you'll know that feeling as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: but it's a it's an incredible feeling. Your new single
Speaker 1: is we don't know yet. I don't know. I thought
Speaker 1: it was the one that you played on the show
Speaker 1: a little bit. I thought it was too and I
Speaker 1: probably wasn't a good idea that I did it like that. Like,
Speaker 1: I have intuition in my heart sometimes as to what
Speaker 1: I think is uh going to be my next single,
Speaker 1: But I also am not uh too hardheaded to listen
Speaker 1: to people around me. And I've had a lot of people,
Speaker 1: uh go back and forth with what should be the single.
Speaker 1: So we're still kind of battling it. And and I
Speaker 1: also realized to the songwriter's credits that write some of
Speaker 1: these songs, if I don't write them, um, they're just
Speaker 1: not fair really to them either. Sometimes to go on
Speaker 1: a Bobby Bones show and play a song that they think,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is the next single, and then
Speaker 1: we're like, you know, you know what I'm saying, so
Speaker 1: that I didn't think about that part of it. I
Speaker 1: didn't think about that you are known as uh one
Speaker 1: of the guys, that you're a great athlete and you're
Speaker 1: a great artist, and it's annoying for people like either
Speaker 1: or neither, right, Like I don't really have a skill
Speaker 1: you have. I think you've got like one of the
Speaker 1: skills I was supposed to have. So what we're doing
Speaker 1: the squinny I thing? Go ahead? No, I was just
Speaker 1: wondering what that meant. I'm gonna tell you. I'm leading
Speaker 1: up to something. So I I have found the athletic
Speaker 1: event that I think I can probably take you at.
Speaker 1: It's the first one ever, please tell me. So now
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little game called bop It. Do
Speaker 1: you ever play pop it with kids? I crushed craft.
Speaker 1: I've literally only played one. Okay, so here here we
Speaker 1: have it, and Jake's gonna play it in a minute too.
Speaker 1: But hey, by the way, did you wear that shirt
Speaker 1: because I was just for you. That's right, Tommy Mohammed.
Speaker 1: I've never seen you in a shirt like and I've
Speaker 1: never won a shirt like this. Okay, Mike, what does
Speaker 1: he do to start? You? Just you chop it whatever? Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's see what number you Let's see what you
Speaker 1: get to. Oh that's to change the game. The third
Speaker 1: game is like just so, some of these games are
Speaker 1: different though. This is Bob, Here we go by You're screwed,
Speaker 1: Bobby boy? Should I keep going? Yeah? You're a score,
Speaker 1: going to beach a score. I was never who I
Speaker 1: was getting too into it though. I was. You gotta
Speaker 1: dance like me the while you do it? Otherwise dancing Bob,
Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go score four boy? Which
Speaker 1: you want question? Okay? Pop it you? That was that
Speaker 1: was bull crab? Is that No? I just said pomp it.
Speaker 1: That's what you said? He said, are two at once?
Speaker 1: Do you want to redo? Dude? Disqualified? Asterix everything possible there? Um, okay, no,
Speaker 1: screw off dude. Yeah, you take your bag. That's a
Speaker 1: tainted That's like the Houston Astros winning. You know they
Speaker 1: they have the trash cans. Beat the trash cans. How
Speaker 1: do you know our next guest after you? Larry Fleet? Um,
Speaker 1: I am lucky to know the guy. I I met
Speaker 1: him at a wedding. Um, this little barn in the
Speaker 1: country out where I live in Kingston Springs. A buddy
Speaker 1: of mine had him playing after his wedding and I
Speaker 1: walked in and heard him singing, and I just thought,
Speaker 1: who is this guy? Seriously? And I've heard a lot
Speaker 1: of people obviously sing in my life, and uh. I
Speaker 1: just walked up and introduced myself. He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I know you are and um. I said, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing it where, but you need
Speaker 1: to do this like for a living and get out
Speaker 1: there so people can hear you because you're blowing my mind.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, man, I said, call me sometimes. So
Speaker 1: he called me a couple of days later and I
Speaker 1: said it, man, ironically enough, I'm with some buddies down
Speaker 1: by the river at my farm. It's like, why don't
Speaker 1: you come over? And he's like all right, and so,
Speaker 1: uh like two hours later, and at this point, it's
Speaker 1: like eleven o'clock at night. I call him. I'm like,
Speaker 1: where are you man? Like I thought you were coming over.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh yeah, man, I'm like I'm like thirty
Speaker 1: minutes away. I was like, where do you live. He's
Speaker 1: like Chattanooga. And I was like, you didn't tell me.
Speaker 1: You didn't tell me you lived in Chattanooga. He's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know. I just didn't want you thinking I wasn't coming.
Speaker 1: And uh, sure enough, he drove from Chattanooga. We hung
Speaker 1: out for the first time that night. UM. And long
Speaker 1: story short, I just told him, man if I could
Speaker 1: ever help you do anything, So I kind of just
Speaker 1: started like helping him, introducing him to people. Um. And
Speaker 1: then our little company we started managing him, helping him
Speaker 1: manage him. And then he got signed a record deal
Speaker 1: with Big Loud, and um, he's got a full record out.
Speaker 1: It's about his new records about to come out. It's incredible. Um.
Speaker 1: And his song where I Find God is one of
Speaker 1: my one of my favorite songs. Uh. And he writes
Speaker 1: all his own stuff and he's just a really good guy. Um.
Speaker 1: And he's got a great story. He was pouring concrete
Speaker 1: uh before he was singing songs for people. And so
Speaker 1: he's like a real working man kind of guy. And UM,
Speaker 1: I just respect that. I think this business is hard, man.
Speaker 1: And when you got guys that are like really honest
Speaker 1: and real about their music and they're they're working out
Speaker 1: and they're good people. Um, those are kind of people
Speaker 1: I like to support. And uh, I'm excited for you
Speaker 1: guys to hear him play. And um, and that's that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the greatest intro anyone's ever had. I
Speaker 1: should just play that back before he comes in. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll grab your guitar over there. Okay, this is We're
Speaker 1: in a literal bedroom, and so there's really no far nituring.
Speaker 1: The acoustics are great and it sounds great on the stream.
Speaker 1: And so I heard you and not that you're gonna
Speaker 1: play this, but I heard you playing John Mayer whenever
Speaker 1: you were testing it out there. Yeah, Mikey, Mike wanted
Speaker 1: me to give him a little test test one two
Speaker 1: one too, So I was just jamming. I used to
Speaker 1: play this in college all the time. What do you
Speaker 1: want me to play for? You? Give me a verse
Speaker 1: in the course of that one? Yeah, it's me take
Speaker 1: your flight out in back in wine. I never live
Speaker 1: the dream of prompting or the droump me and I.
Speaker 1: I can't invest in me. You're still hid in my seat.
Speaker 1: They love you, SI stay side the little line the song.
Speaker 1: Things badter on the side. I won't run through the
Speaker 1: lawns of my school. I want to scream at them
Speaker 1: talking about I just found out there's no such thing
Speaker 1: as a real world. I'm just hanging here with Bob Bone.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Crazy you can remember that. I mean, you
Speaker 1: are the human jukebox of town. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know about that. I've been really flattered by like a
Speaker 1: lot of my peers, um that I've heard just tell
Speaker 1: people random with someone will come and they'll be like,
Speaker 1: hey man, Dirk's Bentley told me that you're like the
Speaker 1: guy around the campfire, and I was like, damn, that's
Speaker 1: cool because I love Dirk Spelling. But um, I just
Speaker 1: I played for hours in college on a barstool by myself,
Speaker 1: just like that. And I love country music, so I
Speaker 1: play that. I love rap music, so I play that.
Speaker 1: I play like and I just play anything and everything,
Speaker 1: and um, you're right, Like I can't even remember like
Speaker 1: where my keys are most of the time or where
Speaker 1: my wallet is, but I remember like every word to uh,
Speaker 1: you know Notorious b I G. Big Papa. What song
Speaker 1: are you most excited on your on your record? Now
Speaker 1: for people to be exposed to that, maybe they haven't yet,
Speaker 1: like is there a song that isn't hasn't been a
Speaker 1: radio single. They're like, dang, you know what song hasn't
Speaker 1: really got the shine yet on my current album. Is
Speaker 1: there one that you're like, dang, it should have been
Speaker 1: a single. Uh. We were lucky, really to get four
Speaker 1: singles off this album, um, as I said earlier. But
Speaker 1: there's a song they're called in It that's a really
Speaker 1: good song, um that I'm a big fan of. And uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, they're all good, I guess. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't mean that arrogantly, but I strive to on
Speaker 1: a record to not just say here's four singles and
Speaker 1: then here's a bunch of filler songs. And and I
Speaker 1: mean that because I don't the last couple of records,
Speaker 1: I only wrote one song on the last two records,
Speaker 1: because I've found I can write all the songs I want.
Speaker 1: I have plenty of songs out there, and a lot
Speaker 1: of my friends get pissed at me because they're like, dude,
Speaker 1: why don't you record your songs like that song I love?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, because I find songs as a fan
Speaker 1: that I like better than songs I wrote. And Uh,
Speaker 1: to me, if I find eleven amazing songs that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a great record as opposed to just four singles.
Speaker 1: And the rest of them are just kind of like
Speaker 1: mediocre songs. But I put them on there because I
Speaker 1: wrote them, you know what I mean? Well, give me
Speaker 1: a little something Verston chorus of a new song that
Speaker 1: you're excited for people to hear it coming soon? Oh
Speaker 1: m hmm, unless you're Unless you're scared. I don't want
Speaker 1: you to get in trouble. If you're scared to go
Speaker 1: to church? You think so? Yeah, I mean huh m hmmm.

Speaker 1: good to me you. Yeah, good to see um. Jake
Speaker 1: says that he saw you playing maybe at at a
Speaker 1: wedding or a party or something. It was the first time.
Speaker 1: It was in a barn, and it was like a
Speaker 1: wedding reception. But they have been married for a while,
Speaker 1: so you call it a party, I guess you want to. Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It was a wedding
Speaker 1: reception for people didn't been married a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they paid me a five bocks, So you say, and
Speaker 1: then what what do you get up there and seeing
Speaker 1: with someone then before you had you know, his career.
Speaker 1: What would I saying? Well, what do you seeing? If
Speaker 1: they page five h bucks? Whatever they wanted? So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean i'd I'd sneak a few of
Speaker 1: money and but you know there was a lot of
Speaker 1: wagon wheel and whatnot. Um just literally whatever they wanted.
Speaker 1: I used to care abound this little lap pad thanks,
Speaker 1: so they could just holler out something. If I heard
Speaker 1: the song, I could probably play it. So I just
Speaker 1: look up some words and it turned out all right.
Speaker 1: Where did you start playing music? I started playing when
Speaker 1: I was about five or six at ah my great
Speaker 1: uncle's house. After church. We'd go over there and they
Speaker 1: could all play a bunch of instruments. So they give
Speaker 1: me this little tiny guitar and I would just kinda
Speaker 1: learn from them, and yeah, just kept it going for
Speaker 1: a long time. So would they teach you like chords
Speaker 1: and be like do your hands in this spot for
Speaker 1: a c I mean, is that kind of what happened
Speaker 1: if they didn't really know how to like they didn't
Speaker 1: know how to read music? Or anything. They just learned
Speaker 1: by playing, like hearing it. So they kind of taught me,
Speaker 1: you know, the basic G C D, you know, something
Speaker 1: like that, but I kind of learned by ear and uh.
Speaker 1: We started playing blue grass. That's what we We always
Speaker 1: play blue grass and always tell people like, I played
Speaker 1: the rhyme and when I was like seven and uh
Speaker 1: in a blue grass band. So you literally did. That's
Speaker 1: not joke, like you played and uh, but I mean
Speaker 1: it wasn't like people showed up to see Larry Fleet.
Speaker 1: It was like a family band that we just somehow
Speaker 1: somebody got us in there. And when you were seven
Speaker 1: you could play well enough to keep up with a band. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I played rhythm, you know, just but in bluegrass
Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing to learn to play, because it's
Speaker 1: the Hardest's one of the hardest things besides jazz or something.
Speaker 1: But it was it was fun to play, and I
Speaker 1: didn't know what the rheman was. I was most excited
Speaker 1: about going to Bob Evans that one. It was a
Speaker 1: big day for us. So Jake told the story that
Speaker 1: you know you got he he called you, We called
Speaker 1: him and he's like, hey, we're hanging out by the river,
Speaker 1: come on over and it was like two hours and
Speaker 1: you still weren't there. And he was like, hey, where
Speaker 1: are You're like, I'm on the waist and he's like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? You're like, why I live in Chattanooga.
Speaker 1: We moved. You know, I grew up in White Bluff,
Speaker 1: which is not far from here, but uh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was living in Chattanooga. We still are. When I met
Speaker 1: my wife, we she was from there, so I moved
Speaker 1: over when we got married. And uh and Jake I
Speaker 1: was working in concrete at the time, so uh, I
Speaker 1: had worked about a thirteen fourteen hour day and he
Speaker 1: called me and I'm just sitting down on the couch
Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, you're come to my little
Speaker 1: bonfire thing I got going on. I said yeah, Uh, well,
Speaker 1: actually I didn't say yea. I said I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: let me let me see you. And I told my
Speaker 1: wife and she was like, Jake Owen wants you to
Speaker 1: go to the sound. I was like, are you crazy? Girl?
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I've been working all day. She
Speaker 1: was like, you need to go. So I packed up
Speaker 1: and headed over there and he called and I was like,

Speaker 1: He's like, why are you on my mone eagles? Like

Speaker 1: friend to helped me out a lot. And that night
Speaker 1: was what really kind of kicked it off. Did he

Speaker 1: I mean he took me on the road like two
Speaker 1: weeks after the bonfire, you know, and uh that's what
Speaker 1: kind of got it going. And then Willie Nelson took
Speaker 1: me out right after that, and then it just kind
Speaker 1: of started coming along. But I got to Uh, I
Speaker 1: started coming back to Nashville and writing with everybody, and
Speaker 1: I was just, honestly, I never cared about being the
Speaker 1: goal on stage. I just wanted to write a song
Speaker 1: and uh so that's what I was doing and I
Speaker 1: was happy with it, and I'm kind of becoming like
Speaker 1: the demo singer around him. And then, uh, that was
Speaker 1: what got me a record deal, was a demo that
Speaker 1: I had saying that I didn't even write. So at
Speaker 1: what point did you get to quit concrete and go
Speaker 1: I don't have to work this job right now, I
Speaker 1: get to go be creative. And seeing the first weekend
Speaker 1: with Jake, uh, he was like, dude, like the first
Speaker 1: night is that you gonna quit your job? I was like,

Speaker 1: because what am I gonna do? Like I just don't
Speaker 1: work I'm gonna play tattoos, you know, Like I can't
Speaker 1: do that. And he was like, no, man, you know,

Speaker 1: and I had the station I was listening to didn't
Speaker 1: have the words that pop up, and this song came
Speaker 1: on and it kind of stopped me in my tracks,
Speaker 1: which is a rare thing for a song to do
Speaker 1: to me nowadays, because you just hear ten thousand songs.
Speaker 1: So tell me about this song. Did I assume you
Speaker 1: wrote it? Jake says, you write everything? Did you write
Speaker 1: this one? Okay, tell me you're sitting in a room.

Speaker 1: you know Connie, but she wrote I'll drive your truck
Speaker 1: for Lee Bryance and stuff like that, and she hit
Speaker 1: me up on Facebook I think it was, and I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I was doing a thing, like a
Speaker 1: gospel kind of thing. She's like, I'm gonna write a
Speaker 1: song with you. So I was a huge fan of her,
Speaker 1: and uh, I said yeah, let's go. So I went
Speaker 1: to her office on Music Row and sat down first
Speaker 1: time we ever met, drank some coffee. She said, I
Speaker 1: got an ideas called where I Find God. It's a title,
Speaker 1: that's all I got. I said, we can't do something
Speaker 1: with that. So in a couple of hours we wrote that,
Speaker 1: and uh I demoed. The cool thing about that was
Speaker 1: um I saying that demo didn't have a record deal
Speaker 1: nothing at this time, so demo it and he gets
Speaker 1: tossed around town and a lot of people were talking
Speaker 1: about it, and uh Luke Bryan put it on hold,
Speaker 1: so like it was on hold for a long time.
Speaker 1: And then when I got my record deal, I got
Speaker 1: the only famous person I knew was Jake, So I
Speaker 1: was like, can you call and see if he's gonna
Speaker 1: do this? And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'll call him.
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't think he's gonna do it, and
Speaker 1: I said all right, and I cut it the next
Speaker 1: day and I just thought was a good song. I
Speaker 1: never thought it would be. I never thought a double
Speaker 1: first verse ballot call Where I Find gonna be my
Speaker 1: first single to radio, But um, you know, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's it's it seems to be helping people out. And
Speaker 1: if you look at views and stuff on YouTube whatnot,
Speaker 1: it's fifteen mate, I don't know whatever it is. And
Speaker 1: then there's a ton of comments, so you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people like it and they relate to it
Speaker 1: and it helps him out. So as far as a songwriter,

Speaker 1: I do that a line. I knew that line. That's
Speaker 1: where I find it. Were an incredible song, that do you.
Speaker 1: That's such a big song to where I bet you
Speaker 1: people reach out and give you extremely personal stories about
Speaker 1: how that song has helped some part of their life. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The biggest one is like people hit me and be like, man,
Speaker 1: you uh you're fighting addiction, you know you you come
Speaker 1: clean or whatever. And it's like and me, personally, I
Speaker 1: never dealt with that, uh, but I think that's what
Speaker 1: a lot of people related to or for them. Anyways.
Speaker 1: It seems to be a lot of people hit me
Speaker 1: up and they just got to jail and they heard
Speaker 1: it in jail and uh or something in prison or whatever,
Speaker 1: so they'll hit me up and give me I always
Speaker 1: kind of go Southern gospel and I'm like, yeah, give
Speaker 1: me their testimony, you know, and Uh. So they'll tell
Speaker 1: me about them and what the song means to them.
Speaker 1: But a lot of it's addiction or death or whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're just coming back to the Lord, I guess
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. But yeah, it's pretty cool. Uh.
Speaker 1: I love when people reach out and tell you know,
Speaker 1: I talked to them on Instagram whatever it is, especially
Speaker 1: if they got a story. They don't just give me
Speaker 1: a fire emoji, but you know, I'll talk to them.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people are over here in
Speaker 1: the uh, the the chat. You know, lots of compliments,
Speaker 1: but one in particular was like, hey, listen, this song
Speaker 1: helped me all through my breakup. So it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever you're going through, that song is kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: a vessel. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I mean, whatever you're
Speaker 1: going through at the time. And honestly, when we wrote it,
Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't know. You never really do. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you got a good feeling, you get chills or something
Speaker 1: you write in one. But we wrote it and I
Speaker 1: was I was like, man, it's a good song, but
Speaker 1: I was kind of onto the next one. And then
Speaker 1: when we got the demo back, I got chills listening
Speaker 1: to it and I was like, man, there's something here.
Speaker 1: There's something here. And one of the cool things is
Speaker 1: going out on the road and planet before anybody knew
Speaker 1: who I was or anybody knew the song. Uh, it
Speaker 1: would get standing ovations with you know, I've been writing
Speaker 1: around the big name people. Jimmy Buffett was one of them.
Speaker 1: One night and Jimmy is there like all kind of
Speaker 1: the and his people, and I played and I was
Speaker 1: the only standing ovation the night. It was because of
Speaker 1: that song. It was in the middle of the set,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I choked up. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody knew me, still didn't know me at
Speaker 1: the time, and they were like, wow, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a good song. It's powerful song. So uh it's pretty
Speaker 1: good compliment, you know when that happens. So are you
Speaker 1: starting to feel confidence in yourself as a songwriter more
Speaker 1: than you were two three years ago? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm writing way better songs. It's funny because
Speaker 1: back in the day, I was like the younger self
Speaker 1: when I was playing, like I've been playing for a
Speaker 1: long time, but the younger self was a lot more arrogant,
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, I know it all I
Speaker 1: this is a great song. I go bank listen, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that was crap, you know, but now you know, I
Speaker 1: got pretty good songs and I'm getting better east time.
Speaker 1: But it ain't me, you know, it's I get in
Speaker 1: a room with good writers, and so you get a
Speaker 1: bunch of good writers in the room, you're gonna write
Speaker 1: something good. Hopefully you should anyways. But uh, but yeah
Speaker 1: to three years ago, I thought I had good stuff,
Speaker 1: and it just growing and getting better and better. Jacob mentioned,
Speaker 1: you have a new album it's about to come out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's what's the story. It's just a bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: I got to I wrote everyone I'm on it, and
Speaker 1: you know, not that that's something that just happened to wait,
Speaker 1: it panned out. But a good song is a good song,
Speaker 1: and so we put together I don't know, it's third
Speaker 1: teen fourteen songs, and uh, I got Jamie Johnson on
Speaker 1: the song with me. I got john Party on one,
Speaker 1: and I just had a lot of fun with this.
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty country. Uh. And when's that coming out?
Speaker 1: There even a date yet, it's not like, yeah, it
Speaker 1: would be sometime I think late August, early September, but
Speaker 1: right around that time. So I'm looking forward to Man
