But what 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: did he write? What else did he write? It had 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: a really good story about was when Lady and Bell 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: and come to his house.

I was thinking about because I know 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: you're coming over and I'm a big fan. That's one 16 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: of your favorite songs on the House to Build Me. Yes, 17 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: it really is. I every time I hear it, whether 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: it's like the intro coming on the radio or I've 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: heard her do it in her show night after night, 20 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: and it's like, every time it takes me back to 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: my childhood house and makes me weepy. Isn't it crazy? 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: Has some songs you hear and they actually like either 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: speak to you or for you yes. And that didn't 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: happen to me until probably, you know, my mid twenties, 25 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: where I started to go, oh, these songs are actually 26 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: saying how I feel. It was the first time I've 27 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: ever heard a song. The one for me was John Mayer, 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: Stop this Train. I would do that song. I would go, oh, 29 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: he sings for what I'm thinking, And it was the 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: first time a songwriter had ever actually said words that 31 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I felt. And that's when it all started the shifts 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: for me going oh, there are not people that kind 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: of understand how I feel singing, And for me it 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: was it was John Mayer. It's funny that you say 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: that you hear that song and you think about, you know, 36 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: going back home, who are the other songwriters that you 37 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you hear and go oh, man, like, that's that's some 38 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: real stuff. Laura McKenna. I got to see her play 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: around at the Bluebird when I first pulled into town 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: to move here. Flucally got a seat and I'll never 41 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: forget sitting there watching her. And I had known her 42 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: name and known her songs because I'm kind of like 43 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: a lyric book freak and I had obsessed over all 44 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: my favorites were always hers on these records, and I 45 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: really this that. It really hit me and I went 46 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: home and like completely went through her whole catalog and 47 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: collection and I have still like three of her CDs 48 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: in my six CD truck. So I'm I'm a big fan. 49 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: Patty Griffin is the one that I just absolutely love. 50 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: There's something so raw about her delivery too. It's it 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: just feels like she's kind of walking up to the 52 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: mic and saying something. I think there's a lot of 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: truth that fits out from there. Loria was going to 54 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: come to a show here. I know Laurie relatively well, 55 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: and I got sick because Laura doesn't live here, she 56 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: lives in Boston, and she was coming down and we've 57 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: tried like three times, and I talked to Loria tell 58 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: we text back and forth a little bit, and I 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: got really sick. And I feel I let a lot 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: of people down because they were still excited about her coming. 61 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: I was excited, were you, Yeah, we've been trying so long, 62 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: it'll happen.

This one kind of stuck out 171 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: for everybody. Is this the one that you wanted? Yes, well, 172 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: rare than a new artist has an idea and everyone 173 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: agrees with it. I really do consider that a really 174 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: cool thing. So you grew up in Canada, I did, so, 175 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: are you from Calgary or from outside Calgary, like where 176 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm from Grand Prairie. Actually, so it's like eight hours 177 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: north of Calgary. You're not even from Calgary. No, that's 178 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: like a whole different state in the in America from Calgary. 179 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Alberta's close anything in Olvera. I'm like, yeah, that's where 180 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm from, but it's Grand Fairies. So it's you know, 181 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: a fairly small community and the wide open spaces, lots 182 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: of sky, lots of fields for most of the year, 183 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: lots of snow. Yeah. We were in Michigan and there 184 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: was like a little bit of know, it mostly melted. 185 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, look at this, not just a 186 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: little nothing. I mean, that's so cold and snowy it is. 187 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, I it's a winter wonderland. I 188 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,599 Speaker 1: was just up there for Christmas and it's beautiful. It 189 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: builds a lot of character for people up there because 190 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: It's not always the most glamorous of circumstances, shoveling and 191 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: working outside in the cold, and I think it brings 192 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: people closer together a lot, because you're stuck in the 193 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: house all the time. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta make 194 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: your own sunshine up there. So why I moved to Nashville. 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Did you think about staying in Canada and doing country 196 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: music in Canada? Like, what was the deal? I did? 197 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: And I definitely got my feet wet putting things out 198 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: in Canada and touring and exploring that there's a really 199 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: awesome community of Canadian country music family up there that 200 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I love. But for me, it was always sort of 201 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: this crazy dream. I did this song or his workshop 202 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: when I was fourteen, and one of the mentors was 203 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: from Nashville, and I had obviously heard of Nashville. I 204 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: listened to the Grand Operations my grandparents and knew from 205 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: all the liner notes, so this is where all the 206 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: recording happened and the writing, and just dreamed about it. 207 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: And this mentor was like, we should come to Nashville 208 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: and right sometime, and I was like, you can do that, 209 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Like we could just go there and write, and so 210 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: shortly after that, my mom took me and made my 211 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: first trip, and she rented the car and drove me 212 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: around to these writing sessions, and I fell in love 213 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: four your fourteen and you you came to Nashville and 214 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: drove around with people. Yes, how did you get rights 215 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: of fourteen? From that mentor that you know? Wrote with me? 216 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: He was mostly who I was writing with on that trip. 217 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: But then he set up other sessions for us to 218 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: go go to, So I'll be forever grateful for that. 219 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: And and I went. We went and saw everything. We drove. 220 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I would make my mom drive up and down, music 221 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: grow and I would just be like reading all the 222 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: signs of these buildings. And we went to the opera 223 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: and walked around the Hall of Fame, and it just 224 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: lit this fire in me. I was like, I can 225 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: all wait to come back years someday. And I kept 226 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: making trips back and forth from that point as much 227 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: as my parents would let me skip school and and 228 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: come and take the time to take me in. And 229 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: I made probably seven or eight trips until I graduated. 230 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: And then before graduation, I sat my parents down. I 231 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: was like, so my dad's a big outliers guy and 232 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: believes in the ten thousand hours thing, and that was 233 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: my pitch. I was like, I can't get my ten 234 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: thousand hours, you know, working at this music thing if 235 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to university somewhere. So I didn't apply, 236 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: and I came up with this plan where we visited 237 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: junior high in high schools and spent thirty two weeks 238 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: in a motor home driving across Canada and playing for kids. 239 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: And it was like the most awesome experience and made 240 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: me fall in love with the roads so much. I 241 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm in. And then when that too 242 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: a wrapped, I decided that Nashville was where I wanted 243 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: to land and go, and so my dad and helped 244 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: me drive. We loaded up my Tacoma and it's forty 245 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: five hour trip from her. I'm fraide to Nashville. What's 246 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: the when you cross Canada into the States that border 247 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: tricky or no? Tricky? Yeah, I mean the press because 248 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: I've done in the Mexico when yes, So I don't 249 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: know what the candidate American border is. You gotta have 250 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: your pay work for sure, but you can also just 251 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: come visit for six months. So initially I wasn't sure 252 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: what it was like to be here and stay so 253 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: that my plan was just to come for six months 254 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: and see And so we crossed the border. That was 255 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: funny that the guard at the border looked at my 256 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: dad and was like, so, let me get this straight. 257 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: You're driving her all the way to Nashville and you're 258 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: dropping her off and you're flying home and you're leaving 259 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: her there. And my Dad's like, yeah, that sounds kind 260 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: of crazy, doesn't it. But that's exactly what happened. So 261 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I stayed here and just I mean, I loved it 262 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: so much. I learned so much. I would go out 263 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: to writers around every night and just obsess over all 264 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: my heroes and go sitting Guitar Center forever and being 265 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the massive amount of talent 266 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: in this town. And it just made me so hungry 267 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: to go home and write a million more songs. I 268 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: want to talk about that going to writer's rounds. Just 269 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: one second.

It's 314 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: like a number one on radio that they poured their 315 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: whole heart into and tell me that you stick with 316 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: it and it works.

They got together, 325 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: I got on the radio. We kind of started at 326 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: the same time. We kind of have that we're going 327 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: through this together. Um, you know, we've even a bit, Darius, 328 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: because we were both doing pop and rocks and we 329 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: both crossed, so we've done a bunch of stuff together. 330 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: That So who moved to town around the time you 331 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: did that you kind of would see and you were 332 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: starting out around the same point. That's a good question. 333 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: There's definitely a crew of Canadians that I would like 334 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: new from back home, but anybody, but I'm like you 335 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: come to town and you saw them starting out around 336 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: the same time. Kaylee hammock Um, Cassie Ashton and let's 337 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: see who else, my friend Madison kozak Um And when 338 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: was that one? Did you come to town? Let's see 339 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: five years ago now, okay, I mean a little after 340 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: when I got here. We're almost in the same were 341 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: also almost almost not fully. So you come to town 342 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: and you start just kind of grabbing friends, right, anybody 343 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: that that will be friends with you. You're just searching 344 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: for people to write with, to hang out with. And 345 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: that's a weird thing. It's almost like going to a 346 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: new school. It is kind of like going to a 347 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: new school. And I think what's interesting about Nashville. A 348 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: lot of people are very out much outside of their 349 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: comfort zones, away from their homes, away from their families, 350 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: and they're like the friends that they grew up with, 351 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: the life they know, and it's like they're coming to 352 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: pour everything they have into this craft. And I think 353 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: that's like such a common ground to really connect with people. 354 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: And it's like you're not alone in that. You told 355 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: a story on my show once about Shania Twain pulling 356 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: you on stage the right. Yes, you're a kid, right, 357 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: So you go to a show? Are you sitting up front? 358 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: So a whole bunch of my family went, but my 359 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: mom and I ended up in the second row. And 360 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: I had made a costume, while my mom actually had 361 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: made a costume right before we drove. It's a five 362 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: hour drive Demonton to go see all these concerts. And 363 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: she like glue gunns this the yellow and red and 364 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: orange stripes, like the Miami Concert DVD that I had 365 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: obsessed a million times over. And I had the little 366 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: yellow ponytail on top of my head and I made 367 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: a sign with glitter on it that said, Shana, I 368 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: can I please sing with you? And so I mean 369 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: I was singing at the top of my lungs to 370 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: the whole show. I knew every word, and she eventually, 371 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: you like came around the security guard let me stand 372 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: right up by the stage. I was like, this is 373 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: the best day of my life. And she like passed 374 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: the mic to this girl few seats down and let 375 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: her sing some lines and then kept walking towards me. 376 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: And I thought, maybe she's going to do the same thing, 377 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: but instead of like reaching out the microphone, she stuck 378 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: her hand out and so I like threw the sign 379 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: behind me and grabbed her hand and we ran around 380 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: her stage. We had like three tiers to it, and 381 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: I remember the floor was like the checker plate pattern, 382 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: and I remember running kind of beside her, holding her 383 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: hand and seeing her feet and I was like, this 384 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: is real, Like this is real. And so we end 385 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: up on this third tier and I'm looking out to 386 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: this like black curtain because the lights are this crazy 387 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: haze in there, and I can't see anybody, but I 388 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: can hear the sound of what eighteen tho people screaming 389 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: feels like. And I was like, this is it. This 390 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: is everything I want to do, and I'm standing here 391 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: next to my hero. And she asked me to sing 392 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: a piece of a song by myself. So I sang 393 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: the chorus upon me, I'm home and really yeah, and 394 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: then luckily it h yeah. And you, just nine years old, 395 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: were so confident that you just do you think you 396 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: were a bit naive at nine. I wasn't thinking about 397 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: any kind of fear at all. It was just straight 398 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: love for it and it. I'm so grateful that happened 399 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: at that point in my life, because that anchor always 400 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: stuck with me, and it's like, no matter what kind 401 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: of insecurities are things that happened as you keep growing 402 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: up and start noticing what other people think or whatever happens, 403 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: is like I had this fire in me and it 404 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: was like no, no, no, I know what that feels like, 405 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: and that's what matters to me. So you sing this song, 406 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: do you remember the crowd cheering? You do you can 407 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: still picture? Oh, yeah, very clearly, because that's a lot 408 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: of people. It is a lot of people. And what 409 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: happens when you're done? So I finished, and she kind 410 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: of smiles at me and shakes her head and uh, 411 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: she said something, and I told her she was beautiful 412 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: and thanked her, and then I think she said something 413 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: like I should probably take you back to your mom 414 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: or dad or something. It doesn't seem like you really 415 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: need one, though, like locked me back to down. And 416 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: every time I'm out a show and I see someone 417 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: like pulls a kid out of the crowd, it like 418 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: brings me right back. It's like that is powerful. You know, 419 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: you just never forget something like that. Have you seen 420 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: her since? Yes? I just got to run into her 421 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: at a billboard event less than a year ago, and 422 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: I walked in the room and she was presenting this 423 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: award and it was like kind of like a small 424 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: It was at a hotel and she got up there 425 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: and I was presenting this award and I was standing 426 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: there and I'm going, I'm in the same room as 427 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: Shania Twin at an industry event in Nashville, Like I 428 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: was there, yes, and she was. She was talking now 429 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: Downtown was that downtown hotel? And it just hit me 430 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: those like, I mean I didn't even sneak in, like 431 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: I was like invited to go. And she finished her 432 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, giving out her award, and everybody was kind 433 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: of mingling, and someone kind of grabbed my arm and 434 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: introduced me, and I mean I could barely speak. Thank goodness. 435 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: The other person was like telling part of the story 436 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: for me because I was yeah, and I was just 437 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: like thank you. And I actually have a picture of ends. 438 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: I showed her. She's like, is that you. It's like yeah, 439 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: so we got a new picture. And it was just 440 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: the craziest full circle moments. Pretty cool. That is pretty cool. 441 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: It's also too, you know, we mentioned at the first 442 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: of the show or or whatever this is the podcast 443 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: that it's always weird to meet people that you really 444 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: look up to or admire their work or you think 445 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: are cool, because they almost can't get cooler. Yes, it's 446 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: so hard for someone. And I've had the struggle with 447 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: wanting to meet my heroes, like David Letterman's been my 448 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: hero forever, like Howard Stern, like these guys. It's like, 449 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: if I meet them, there's almost no way they're gonna 450 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: be cooler than I already feel they are. So I've 451 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: always been like, I probably won't want to meet them 452 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: because if she and I have been terrible, that's very true, 453 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: that were just an off day, or it would probably 454 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, tainted at least your thoughts of her now. 455 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: But I don't think it could ever touch what what happened. 456 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree with that. I think I would 457 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: just be like, no, that that just stays in this special, 458 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: special glass box or something. You have a picture of 459 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: you on stage with her at all and nine years old. 460 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: You have that picture. Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's cool 461 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: that you can still remember it. You know why we 462 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: have the picture because these ladies who we didn't even 463 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: know that we're sitting beside a snug a disposable camera 464 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: into the concert because you weren't allowed to bring cameras, 465 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: and so they like passed the camera to my mom 466 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: and the fiddle player took it up on stage and 467 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: they were like, we're her aunties and we had like 468 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: just met them an hour ago. And then we got 469 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: their address and they sent us the film role from 470 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: this disposable to the show. Isn't that cool? That's really 471 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: cool that they went through all of that to get 472 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: somebody they didn't know totally. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Let's 473 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: see what else. I'm just trying to think through all 474 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: my fan club stuff I have of you, because i'm 475 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: your basically the president of your fan club.

There were 485 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty seats on a seven thirty seven airplane. 486 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: So that's how many people came. Crazy, It's insane, Bobby, 487 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: how many people came? A hundred and forty people.

Like these 495 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: are like family friends, super close, just people that have 496 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: been a part of this adventure. From the beginning. I 497 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: used to sing the anthem at our local hockey games 498 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: as this little kid, and these people would be like 499 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: they just started to get to know me from there. 500 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, we do a big 501 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: event in my hometown called Big Hearts for Big Kids, 502 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: and six hundred people show up every year for our 503 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: youth shelter, and it's one of the most incredible things 504 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: I've ever been a part of. And those people are 505 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: all family to me, and that those are the ones 506 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: who came and they just it's who they are. They 507 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: show up, they show up every time, and they have 508 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: my whole life. And seeing them come off that escalator 509 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: was like the most I can't even put it into words, 510 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: but it's like the biggest hometown hug I could have 511 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: ever dreamed of. And standing up there on the Opery 512 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: stage was, I mean, such a legendary moment for me 513 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: that I'll never forget. But sharing that with them and 514 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: being like, hey, we did this together, you know, because 515 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: their belief is a big part of the reason that 516 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: I'm here, and yeah, it means the world to me. 517 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: What are you thinking when you're standing in the circle 518 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: on the Opery and you're about to play and you know, 519 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: they say, because you know I've done it. It's it's 520 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: really great because they go that you walk at there's 521 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: no it's not like a cool intro where they open 522 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: the carpet. It's it's so old school, which was cool 523 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: about it, Like while they're doing a commercial for Cracker Borol. 524 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: You just walk out there. You know, it's not like 525 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: flames and is that like towns And all of a 526 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: sudden you come up from a you know something under 527 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: the stage. He's you know, he's going and don't forget 528 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: four ninety nine cracker Boro get a mean three, and 529 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: you're just walking out while that's happening. And for me, 530 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not talented in the way that you are. 531 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm going, well, I gotta go out and 532 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, do some jokes, play some songs. But for you, 533 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: you're going out there. You're such an emotional performance, such 534 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: an emotional person. I just wonder what's going through your 535 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: head when not only are you playing the opera for 536 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: the first time, my first time, I don't even be there. 537 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: I wonder they don't come. It was like I told 538 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: everybody on the show. You told them not to come. 539 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: Some people still came, but I made everybody not come. 540 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm the opposite of you, and almost every way I 541 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: forgot about. Yeah, I seen the email that I said, 542 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: don't come to my first opera show because I'm scared 543 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: of what's gonna happen. So it was the opposite of you. 544 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: So you get out there and all your people are there. 545 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm assuming there was like this big pop roar, right, 546 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: what are you thinking before it starts? So someone told 547 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: me right before I walked on Sally with the opera. 548 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: She's like, make sure you take one big breath. She's like, 549 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: because you'll remember everything better if you like actually physically 550 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: breathe it in, because you'll never get the first time again. 551 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, got it. So right as 552 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: the band started and I was walking on and I 553 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: stopped before I entered the circle, took a deep breath 554 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: and like saw my hometown. I knew what section they 555 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: were in it. I was like, there they are, and 556 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: I just like walked in that circle. And I actually 557 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: got to walk in the circle before the show, which 558 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm really grateful for because I bawled my face off, 559 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: so if I hadn't have done that, it would have 560 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: been really hard to sing, I think. So I got 561 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: to sort of walk in the circle have my emotional moment, 562 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: and for me, that moment was like spiritual, like there's 563 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: it just feels like there's an angels in that place, 564 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: Like this is the this is the place, the birthplace 565 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: of so much history of country music and so much 566 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: of the foundations that I get to walk on as 567 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: a new artist are because of you know, the hard 568 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: work and the persistence and the creativity and the being 569 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: different that so many people before me have come and 570 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: paved and standing there for me was like just evidence 571 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: of that, did you do good? I was a little 572 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: shaky on the first one, I will admit, but I 573 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: played jersey on the wall second and I feel like 574 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: I got it together at that point. That one felt 575 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: felt stronger, did you Because I didn't see anyone's faces. 576 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: It was blurry to me, yes, And I looked in 577 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: the crowd and I just was like, oh my goodness, 578 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: and so I just went, yeah, I didn't really what 579 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: did you see out there? Just silhouettes of where people 580 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: were sitting. I couldn't see faces either, and that's probably 581 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: a good thing too, But it's it's big people few 582 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: tho it's tall now, Like I mean, I probably played 583 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: it ten times or so now so cool, But like 584 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: the second time through the tenth time, I can see 585 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: people spaces now, which is yes, because you one, you've 586 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: done the first one, and it's always a building, You're like, 587 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: oh my goodness. It then starts to be a you 588 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: just owe it to that institution to do a good job. 589 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: It's it's more about that place than it is you. Now, Yes, 590 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: the first switch has happened. Absolutely the first time it 591 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: was just about me. I was like, oh my god, 592 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing this. And for me it was the Ray 593 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Stevens Is, the Jerry Clower's comedy country guys who had 594 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: done that, you know. And even because I like, you 595 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: listen to that with my grandmother. That's that's how I 596 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: was exposed to it. It It wasn't that I was like 597 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: looking for the opera as a eleven year old, but 598 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: she would listen to it. And my grandmother adopted me 599 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: and raised me for a long time, and it was 600 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: cool to me because of her. And then it became 601 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: cool to me because of me. That's so cool. But 602 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: for forever it was just cool to me because of 603 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: her only, and so you know, we would listen to 604 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: and that's why it was cool to me to do it. 605 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: Was because because of my grandmother and so. But then 606 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you it starts to be cool because 607 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: then it's not about you. It's only about it. And 608 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: I see people's faces and you know, for me, as 609 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: a comedian, and I'm a sort of a comedian, Um, yes, 610 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: your comedian, what are you talking about? It's not okay 611 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: for me, as someone who does comedy, will say that, okay, 612 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: the audience of the opera is so diverse. There there 613 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: are some young people, there are also some really old people, 614 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: and it's so hard to play a crowd that you 615 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: really can't pinpoint exactly what they're wanting, right, because it's 616 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: hard to tell jokes to someone who's over eighty because 617 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that you would talking about 618 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 1: like in tech, like Instagram or pop culture, and it's 619 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: hard to tell jokes to twelve year olds. And so 620 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: you have this because he operates all ages. Yes, that's 621 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: a good point. It's it's a very diverse audience that 622 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: I've ever had to do with the operation. I like 623 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: doing it the most. Last time I went, I bombed out, 624 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: A bombed hard. It was the worst. It was. It 625 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: was my worst because I go up and have my 626 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: guitar and I was gonna do I think I had 627 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: twelve minutes and I was going to do um like 628 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: two partial songs and then we're gonna kind of blend in. 629 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: You've seen my show, so I was kind of blending 630 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: and out of it. My guitar falls a part of 631 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: them walking out there, and I don't know it, but 632 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: my like my nut falls out where you if I 633 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: heard something to go clink clink clink, and I was like, 634 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know what it was. I'll walk out 635 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: there and my guitar is broken and I go to 636 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: like plug it and nothing, and it throws me off completely. 637 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm the only instrument to play is because I'm only 638 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: playing my guitar. My whole set is weaving in and 639 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,959 Speaker 1: out of these songs and I'm like, oh, and I 640 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: was just like, what am I going to do? And 641 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: I look over in Sally's over at the side and 642 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm I kind of bombed it pretty hard. 643 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: It was my sounds like a circumstance more than it 644 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: does for sure. But still we have to control our 645 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: circumstances in our life and our careers. Bad will always come, 646 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: it's not if it's wind and how you adjust to it. 647 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: And I think I did okay, but I left going, 648 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: oh man. You ever have a performance where you go 649 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: out and you off and you're like that was not good? Definitely? Yeah, 650 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: There's lots of those moments, and I think we're harder 651 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: on ourselves than anybody. You know. It's like, but I 652 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: definitely magnify certain things in fact um. At our last show, 653 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: I was like, he introduced me the radio person there, 654 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: and he was like and Saniel Towns. I was like, 655 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: walk out and I'm away. Then I dropped my guitar 656 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: pick like right there, and I was like, well, I'm 657 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: gonna bend over and pick. I'm not a guitar figure 658 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: right now. It's not the most graceful entrance, but it's 659 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: all part of it, you know. I guess we just 660 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: learned more. Oh, there's plenty, plenty of other things. There's 661 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: been lots of lyric things, lots of you know what 662 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: I've noticed about messing up, and not just in music 663 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: or radio, but just in life. If you don't acknowledge 664 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you're messing up, most people don't know. Yeah, 665 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: well people don't care there. And also it's you know, 666 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: I wrote about this in my last book where I 667 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: would and I kind of made the analogy to hot 668 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: Yogat you ever to yogat all ever a little bit, 669 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: not a lot, where I would go to these classes 670 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: and I would be so worried because I was doing 671 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: everything wrong. Because I was doing everything wrong and I 672 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: didn't know how to do it. I was so new 673 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: to all these moves. They would be like okay, now 674 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: for the blossom, and I'd be like, what is that blossom? 675 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: And posa, and they'd be saying all these things and 676 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: I was doing them wrong, and I was struggling, and 677 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: everybody was staring at me, and I was like, I 678 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna go back a second time. 679 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: But I went back a second time, and I got 680 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: a little better, and then I realized that I got 681 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: to be okay at it. I wasn't looking anybody else. 682 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: No one was ever looking at me. We're not looking 683 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: at people really near as much as we think people 684 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: are looking at us. Such a good point. I mean, 685 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: I think, like, when's the last time I saw somebody 686 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: bought a speech or something at work? And I've seen it, 687 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: but I don't remember it, and it's like, I don't 688 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: even care. You move on. So I try to give 689 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: myself that grace when I screw up that people are 690 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: sticking with it. I think it's the grace that you 691 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: give to other people. Sent those opera goers gave me 692 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: grace at night. Oh, I'm quite certainly love that one. 693 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: Let me talk about Dollar Shape Club for a second. 694 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: So what I love about Dollar Shape Club is they 695 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: have everything I need to look, feel, and smell my best. 696 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: My bathroom is basically a Dollar Shape Club bathroom. What 697 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: I love even more is that I never have to 698 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: go to the store because one Dollar Shaved Club delivers 699 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: everything that I need right to my door. And too, 700 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: they keep me fully stocked and what I use so 701 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't run out. It works like this Dollar Shape 702 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Club has everything you need to get ready, no matter 703 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: what you're getting ready for. They have you covered head 704 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: to toe for your hair, your skin, your faith, you 705 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: name it, they have it. And they have this program 706 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: where they automatically keep you stocked up on the products 707 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: that you use. You determine what you want and when 708 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: you want it, and it shows right up to your 709 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: door and you get it once a month, get it 710 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: once every six months. You know. The toothpaste is something 711 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: that I love. You know, Uh, it comes to me 712 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: what every to maybe three months, So it's not like 713 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: you use toothpaste a live but when it's time to 714 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: change it, always have a problem with I always forget 715 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: to go back and get the next and I'm always 716 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: like squeezing at the very bottom of the tube. That 717 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: doesn't happen with Dollar Shape Club. Right now, they have 718 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of starter sets you can try for just 719 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: five bucks, like their Oral Care Kit. After that, the 720 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: restocked box ships at regular size prices right there, regular 721 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: size products. So what are you waiting for? Get you 722 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: started care for five bucks? Dollar Shave Club dot com 723 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: slash bones, Dollar Shaped Club dot Com slash bones. So 724 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: do you read outliers? You mentioned that earlier. Have you 725 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: read the book? Fantastic? Right? It's very very cool. The 726 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: ten thou Hours is one of the think a lot 727 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: of people talk about where it's a Malcolm Gladwell book 728 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of my friends have read at this point. 729 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: But if you have to do something for ten thousand 730 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: hours to be proficient at that. There were parts of 731 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: that book though. Two that stuck with me was remember 732 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: the airline part, the pilot part where they talked about 733 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: why airplanes crashed in other countries more than America. Yes, 734 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: so what happens is and you mentioned that in That's 735 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: what happened? And I would recommend that book. Where other 736 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: cultures don't speak to their uh supervisors, they're they're the 737 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: people above them in a disrespectful way, and they talk 738 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: about these pilots and other cultures and uh. In like um, 739 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: like Japan, well you do. For example, if the guy 740 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: in the tower goes, hey, you need to go, you know, 741 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: up ten thousand feet right now, they would just do 742 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: it instead of going no, I don't think that's right. 743 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: And then in America they're like, you're wrong. I don't 744 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: need to do that because I'm in the middle of 745 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: the storm right now. And yeah, okay, this is coming 746 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: back to me that might remember that. I probably Butcher 747 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: because it's been so long since I read it didn't 748 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: have something to do like the tone of voice too, 749 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: or something all of it. And some unchers they were 750 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, if it's a respective position, you respect it 751 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: no matter what, regardless of your second. But in like 752 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: Western culture, if you respect your person unless they're an 753 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: idiot or they don't know and you yeah, then you 754 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: go no, that's not so. Yeah, I should read. You 755 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: ever read a book again and then again all the time. 756 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: What's the book you've read the most over and over? 757 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: Probably Burn Brown Daring greatly. Yeah, yeah, I'm reading a 758 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: book from her right now. It is I think her 759 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: work is fascinating, right, and she talks about vulnerability. I mean, 760 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: that's that's really her thing. Study of vulnerability and that's 761 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: that's shame. That's right now. Yes, I love it, yeah, yeah, 762 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: And it's the speech about the man in the arena 763 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: and it's not the critic that counts. I love that. 764 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: It's yeah, the man in the arena is there are 765 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people that will say things to you 766 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: about what you're doing until you're doing good or bad. 767 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: But it's not what they're saying that matters. It's people 768 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: that have also been in the arena and understand it. 769 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: Because I think we're in the business of we have 770 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: a lot of critics telling us a lot of cheap seats. Yeah, 771 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: what's good, what's not. But and it's funny because you 772 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: and I had this talk as we're flying back from 773 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: from Michigan and it was like, and you just keep 774 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: your head down and keep doing what you do because 775 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: what you do and why I like it so much, 776 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: why I'm drawn to it is it's it's distinct. And 777 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: to be distinct, you're different, and to be different, people 778 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: are going to have different feelings about you, some good, 779 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: some bad, because nothing that comes in it is different, 780 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,399 Speaker 1: is universally loved. At first. People have to be taught 781 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: to love something that's cool. Yeah, that's a good way 782 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: to hit and so. And I think that's what I 783 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: what I really enjoy about yours. It is different. It's 784 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: very different. And I can see you how some people 785 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: will be like, what what's happening here? But people have 786 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: had to go, hey, what's happening here to everything that's 787 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: ever been awesome? Like nothing awesome has ever coming. Everybody 788 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: just goes, oh, this is new and way different. I'm 789 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: just gonna accept it and love it. And there are 790 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: things that I have not been like I don't really 791 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: understand that, and then I go, oh, wow, okay, it 792 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: is kind of cool. But I like that about you know, 793 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 1: about about what you do, even when you play live 794 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: like there's a real you go, this is what happens 795 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: when you play. Like first I'm like, what's she doing? 796 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: She's a little different. It took me a second, but 797 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: then I'm like, okay, I love it. Like let's play 798 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of white Horse while I'm talking about 799 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: take me Away on a sunset? Right? Does it ever 800 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: get to you, like, does it everwhere on you that 801 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: you're just a bit different? And sometimes it takes people 802 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: a while to get it. I mean, yes, there are 803 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: moments where get super like zoomed in on something. It's 804 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: like in the leads about it, in my head, about 805 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: thinking about it. But honestly, my love for it is 806 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: outweighs the voices most of the time. And I'm grateful 807 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: for good people around me that keep that perspective in check. 808 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: And I just want to do my thing. I love 809 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: playing for people so much. It's my favorite thing to 810 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: do in the world. And every time I get to 811 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: do that, it's like, Okay, this is what this is for. 812 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: And so no matter what people think or say or 813 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Because someone came up to me after 814 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: the show and told me about a story in their 815 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: life that connected to one of the songs, and that's 816 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: it for me. If it's one person, one person, that's 817 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: that's what matters. Mm hmm. I believe you is the thing. 818 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: I think you would be okay playing music and getting 819 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: by because just getting by playing music is actually thriving. 820 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: It is thriving to me. And don't get me wrong, 821 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: I mean you'll be rich, id loved you, rich big, 822 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: and I love to do all those things. But at 823 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's it. That's that's the 824 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: bottom line for me. I don't think I've heard you 825 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: say a curse words because I don't curse. Do you curse? No, 826 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: not very often? Though you don't say any carse words 827 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: your songs, do you? Is that a thing where you 828 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: don't like purposefully if someone suggested, like, hey, let's let's 829 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: put a M f R in here, I don't think anyone, 830 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,959 Speaker 1: But I feel like it's just not the I guess 831 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: I just wade the way I talk, and that's not 832 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: really things that I say very often. I had to 833 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 1: change up the way I talked me. I did curse 834 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: a lot, really, and I started to go, I'm creating 835 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: in this years I haven't said a carse winner probably 836 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: three years or so at all. Not now. It's just 837 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: a game, right, But I would just curse. But then 838 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 1: I would go on the air and I would write 839 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: books and in kids songs and songs, and I didn't 840 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: curse any of that. And at times when i'd be creating, 841 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: I'd all, you know, it fit really well here, uh, 842 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: the word amazing. So I stopped. I just eliminated it 843 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: from my creation. That's cool, because if you're not thinking 844 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: of doing it doesn't even pop up any other part 845 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: of it. So I felt like it was best for 846 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: how I was writing and creating to just never curse ever. 847 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: And now when people now people are cursing around me, 848 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: like oh, I'm sorry, Like I'm a big boy, I've 849 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: heard them before. Yeah, I feel the same, like that's okay. 850 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: People do that to me when they drin because I 851 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: don't drink right, and people will H'm like, oh, I 852 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't drink around you. I'm like, no, no, please drink 853 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: around me because you're not that fun unless you're drinking, 854 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: you know. So do people know you don't curse? Do 855 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: they do the thing? We're like, oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, 856 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: sometimes they do, and it's like it used to because 857 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: I was maybe the youngster around and they're like they 858 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: would be like, oh sorry, but I don't know. I 859 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: haven't heard that in a while though. I just I 860 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: guess it's like, I just want people to show up 861 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: and be who they are, and if that's part of 862 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: the language and who they are, then I love them 863 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: for it. So there are some people I enjoyed their cursing. 864 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're way funnier when you curse and drink, 865 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: like please please. The only person drink. We were on 866 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: the plane flying back and to know, out of nowhere 867 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: pulled out this humongous bag of popcorn. It's like we 868 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: she had one backpack and it was completely full, pretty 869 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: much just popcorn. And still she found a big bag 870 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: of popcorn. I guess it was only popcorn or backpack. 871 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's what you said, you always have popcorn. 872 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: I do I love white chatter popcorn. I just I 873 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: really like snacks. I like baking things and like bacon 874 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: things are baking things baking?

It's like a counting 878 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: math card game with a board where you move your 879 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: little pegs all the way around. It's very much a 880 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: grandma game. You're like an old soul. I ever heard 881 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: that before? Yeah? Look at you? Um, when you moved 882 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: to town, whereuld you live? Like? What?

Like a do you have 885 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: a house? Apartment? I was renting a little garage that 886 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: was turned into a Loft of Sorts, and so I 887 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: fell in love with sam Zoe's Coffee shop over there 888 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: and Baja Burrito and and there's a bunch of music 889 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 1: studios over there, and I got together and got to 890 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,720 Speaker 1: do some demos over there, but mostly about that spot, 891 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: it was really cool to be by myself for the 892 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: first time in my life. And I spent so many hours, 893 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: like I go out to see a show and then 894 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: I come home and write. And I mean when I 895 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: first got here, I wanted to write every single day 896 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: with whoever and anyone that I could write with, but 897 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: it kind of takes a while to build up people 898 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: that you can fill your days with and go write 899 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: songs with. And so a lot of that time I 900 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: was just writing songs by myself. And I feel like 901 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,959 Speaker 1: something happened in that very first place that I lived 902 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 1: in here, and it was it just like my whole 903 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: voice changed and shifted for the first time, and it 904 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 1: was like I started to kind of get in step 905 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,280 Speaker 1: with who I was at a different level or something 906 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: and started really writing things. You know, I had been 907 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: writing songs since I was fourteen, but I think at 908 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: nineteen that was sort of like Okay, there was a 909 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 1: switch that was happening, probably being influenced by this community 910 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: and just learning so much from soaking it in, but 911 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: mostly from just digging in myself. I think, I want 912 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: to play some of Jersey on the wall. And you 913 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: came on the show and you played this, and my 914 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: people were they loved it. I mean it was and 915 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: this story is is like from something that happened and 916 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: you went to the school afterward, right, So what happened? 917 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: So I was touring a bunch of schools and I 918 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: visited this little community was like on an island. We 919 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: had to take a two and a half hour ferry 920 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: to get there, like four thousand people, super small town. 921 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: And I show up to play the school and it's 922 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: like you can tell that the oldest kids are looking 923 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: out for the youngest kids, that everybody's grown up together, 924 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, small group of kids, and there was something 925 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: different about this school, and I had seen a lot 926 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 1: of them up to this point, and I was like, Wow, 927 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: this is pretty amazing and it's stuck with me. And 928 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: I played a community show that night and then the 929 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: teacher brings me back to the little inn that I 930 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: was staying at and sits me down and tells me 931 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: that there had been a car accident a few months 932 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: prior with five kids from the high school, four of 933 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: which I had been hanging out with all day, had 934 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: had no idea what they had just been through a 935 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: few months before UM. And one of them, her name 936 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: was Danielle. She was the star basketball player, valedictorian, had 937 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: just graduated with a full ride scholarship, and she was 938 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: killed in this flute wreck. And so I sat there 939 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 1: and like wept with this teacher even more so moved 940 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 1: by this community and everything they've been through, and kept 941 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: in touch really closely with them. And miss Ward was 942 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: a teacher's name, and her and her and I worked 943 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: it out that I got to go back to the 944 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: school for their graduation the following spring.

I mean something 989 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: was the last run through, so we gotta we're going 990 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: to tighten it a little bit more so we got 991 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: some freedom room. You can't go over. I can't go 992 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: over like ten seconds. Don't go because it's bad form 993 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: with Dirks brothers get mad at you. Probably not if 994 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: you go over like a minute, but you don't like that. 995 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: I do not want to go over room once. The 996 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 1: guys from Rascal Flats, I think the last time they 997 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 1: came in the show. They came in and I asked 998 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: him about the Eric Church urban legend that he would 999 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 1: play over his shows and they end up kick him 1000 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: off tour, and it's true. Really, yeah, I didn't know that. 1001 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 1: So he would come and you take the whole stage 1002 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: even when they came, and as an opener, you only 1003 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: get part of the stage, and he would go over 1004 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: and he would go out, and yeah, so he ended 1005 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: up and then he they would go to cities on 1006 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: that tour. I think maybe they ended up putting Taylor 1007 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: on there too afterwards, like some other artists came in 1008 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: after him. Maybe was it. And so um Flats would 1009 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 1: go in two cities on the tour and he would 1010 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: go to the same cities and play it at a 1011 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: bar beside them. That's so you know what he ended up. Okay, Yeah, 1012 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 1: he certainly did five minutes to go and play and 1013 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: the Darks the Dirks, not the crew. I mean, Dark 1014 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,720 Speaker 1: is a friend of mine, but um like the people 1015 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: that go to Dirk shows.

You don't want to go to miles. Everything 1073 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: makes so much more sense. It's like the metric system 1074 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 1: is the real way to do it. But but now 1075 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 1: you you're in Rome went in Rome Switch.

Yeah, do 1086 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 1: you say pajamas? What do you say? I don't know 1087 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 1: that I ever say that word unless I'm playing this game. 1088 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: I don't know that I ever just talked about when 1089 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: I was doing Dancing with the Stars, we that was 1090 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: a big hot topic. And everyone is from everywhere on 1091 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: that show, right, and not just America. You know my 1092 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: partners from Australia. We have people from all of the 1093 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 1: continents that are dancing, and um, it was yeah, I 1094 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: mean you have a bunch of people. I think. One 1095 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: of the coolest things for me about doing stuff like 1096 00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: that and a lot of the other stuff that I 1097 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 1: could do outside of country music is meeting all the people. 1098 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: It's like touring. When you go on the road, you're 1099 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 1: not just in your little circle of like minded even 1100 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: like cultured people, and it really it really opens you up. 1101 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: It does. It's like there's just so much of the 1102 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: world out there, and so much that I didn't know 1103 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 1: about people that I didn't know, and you go, oh, 1104 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: I just wasn't right about a lot of things. Wow. 1105 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: I love hearing that. That's cool. That's what really opened 1106 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: me up. Because you only know what you know, and 1107 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: you only know either what you have been taught or 1108 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 1: what you chase. And sometimes you don't even know what 1109 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: to chase because you haven't been taught to chase the 1110 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: right things. And so the exposure to things has been 1111 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: the greatest teacher for me, and the exposure makes me 1112 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,799 Speaker 1: then chase things. And so, you know, as you talk 1113 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 1: about touring and being in front of people, I feel 1114 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: that way too. And that's one of the reasons I 1115 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: like going on the road is because I go to Michigan. 1116 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 1: We went to Michigan together. I go to Michigan, and 1117 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's I talk to people who they live 1118 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 1: in snow half the year and their accents are different, 1119 00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 1: but yet what we have in common is still like 1120 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,239 Speaker 1: this humanity and you go okay and admits you it's 1121 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: not so different. There are times where I go two 1122 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: El Paso to Boston too, and everybody's a little bit different, 1123 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: but the thing in common, there's always this this humanity 1124 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 1: that everyone has in common. Yeah, it's so true, and 1125 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 1: we're more like than we think we are. And then 1126 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: when I go and I hang out with people from 1127 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: other countries again, and I wouldn't do that in the 1128 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: country music world. I only do that because I'm off 1129 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: doing these television shows and I'm like, oh, like, they 1130 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 1: haveferent completely different belief systems. However, the humanity part of 1131 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: it's always the same thread, and you go, oh, we're 1132 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: so alike. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, And when you're 1133 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: talking about that kind of stuff and that, that's kind 1134 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: of what strikes me. So listen, I'm a huge fan. 1135 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad you came up. Thank you. I'm such a 1136 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 1: big fan of yours and it really means a lot 1137 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 1: to have you.

Yeah, I know that because 1145 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm a day to Canadians. Um you are.
