1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to episode one sixty five of the

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Bobby Cast. This is an exciting one for me because

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: it's Brad Arnold from Three Doors Down. Glad to have you, man,

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Thank you for having men. I'm glad to be here.

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: I'm such a fan of Three Doors Down because how

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: old a guy are you? I am about the same

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: age you were, So you were were the same age basically, right.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: You were so big and I was like an idiot

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: on the radio and Hot Springs, Arkansas, and you were

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: like all over the world. I felt so so small now, man.

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: We did start young. I started touring when I was twenty.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: I just turned twenty one, and it was you know,

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: they say like youth is wasted on the young. So

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: it's touring because I think I would have enjoyed it

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: so much more now in the mindset that I'm in

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: in my life and just the place that I am,

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: than I did then, because you know, you get out

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: there and you're young and you start touring, and it's

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: that's a lot to handle hand a twenty one year old,

20
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it's basically you know, just to here's

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: the I used to tell people, it's like having a backstage,

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: passed to life and eat out there and and I

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: was an idiot, and I didn't you know, I didn't

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: do a lot of things, but I was just I

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: guess my main thing that I got out, I just

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: got out and drank so much and things like that.

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: And and um, I've been without alcohol, been alcohol free

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: for a little over three years. As I wish, man

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: I could just take that and apply to my whole career,

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: I would have enjoyed it so much more. I think

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: I saw you guys probably five times, you know, all

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: through my years. Um, And so for me, I think

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: the last time I saw you guys was you guys

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: in Fuel. You guys were playing together. But I've bet

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a lot of those bands, did you guys kind of

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: cross paths and tool randomly with a lot of those

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: guys kind of in that same class and when when

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: pop was rock, So how did those tours often come together?

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Did you did you switch places sometimes? Like who had

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: the bigger song would kind of lead the tour? Well,

41
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: we um, by the grace of God, our first record

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: like done really good and we started touring together with

43
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Nickelback was used to be uh their second record kind

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: of took off for them, and so that was the

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: first tour that we would kind of they opened for

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: us for and a couple first couple of years that

47
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: both of us were out and uh, and then their

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: second record took off, and we've done a tour together

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: to where we kind of flip flop back and forth

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: playing and then we had we went our separate ways.

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: So like not good blood, not good blood. So what's

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the deal with Nickelback? Why does anybody hate on Nickelback?

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, why do you think people hate on Nickelback?

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't have went there for you, you know,

55
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know you guys tore with Nickelback a lot.

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of times were we both started

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: on two already Eagles, you know, like the nineteen eighties

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: Eagle buses, and one of them was always broke. So

59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot of times where there was I mean,

60
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, in those days, all band and crew on

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: one bus. On that tour, there was both bands and

62
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: broth crews on one bus for a lot of times

63
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: because one of the bus was always tore, tore up,

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: and and it would break down and we just had

65
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: to get to the next gig, so everybody's just kid

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: on one. Which if a bus only holds twelve, now

67
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: a bustle whole twelve legitimately like my bustle whole twelve legitimately,

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: So that means there's enough bunks and legally you can

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: have twelve. This sounds like there's more than twelve people

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: on that bus, but there a lot of people some

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Mondey would always give me a bunk and uh so

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: so the two singers could sleep or whatever. Um, but

73
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we just kind of we Our old drummer

74
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: is now their drummer. Daniel used to be our drummer

75
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: for quite a while, and uh and and he's a

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: great drummer, you know. And um, it was just I

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: don't really know honestly how it got to be Bad Blood,

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: but I think kind of it was a thing in

79
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: the ward show. And I don't even remember what a

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: ward show it was. And it was even between the

81
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: two bands. It was between some crew guys or something.

82
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know why people I don't know why

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: people hate on him so much. But well, if you

84
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: don't like him, I now hate Nickelback to Mike, let

85
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: him know, let him know I'm tired of defending them.

86
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't like him anymore. But I don't like them.

87
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't dislike you know, honestly, I hadn't

88
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: talked to him in a really long time. Here's the

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: story one of my friends told me, because they went

90
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: to Canada and they're a country band, and they said

91
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: they were playing with Nickelback, and I guess those guys

92
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: are really rich. I guess Chad Corger is really rich.

93
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: And apparently went on a yacht. This is all hearsay, right,

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: They went out a yacht and they were throwing pillows

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: into the air and shooting them with guns, and that

96
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: he was just wild and they just had guns and

97
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: still like partying on boats and off the coast. And

98
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I was like, man, Nickelback is still going hard right now.

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: I guess so, man. I've heard some stories about Ted

100
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: doing some pretty outland just things, but it was mainly

101
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: like throwing money around and and stuff like that. And

102
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: for me personally, I mean, I come from a good

103
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: family of saving kids. But my mom there taught me

104
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: to the value of money, and I still remember the

105
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: value of money, and I just think about it, you know,

106
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: I guess probably I was probably like nineteen or twenty,

107
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: and you guys, in my mind really blew up and

108
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: that rock sound became the pop sound because I was

109
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: working on pop radio and every song you guys are

110
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: put out would just be massive. And when you're in

111
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: the mid and I can feel this a bit with

112
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: me now, meaning I'll work so hard, I really don't

113
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: see the cool things that are happening around me at

114
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: the level I should really appreciate and see them. I wonder,

115
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: because you were so successful, just one after the other,

116
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: what felt like, like, did you really feel it an

117
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: experience it? Are we just running so hard? I think

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: you're just running so hard that you did you feel it?

119
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And I think I feel it more now looking back,

120
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, in Gina and I and we'll talk about

121
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: it sometimes and and and I mean we really were

122
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: like truly truly blessed. And we still are. Man, we

123
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: still go and we still play a lot. We don't

124
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: tour when we you know, when those first several years

125
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: we played three hundred shows a year. Sometimes you're on

126
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: the road that much, you were, man, we would we

127
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: would go. We we developed kind of the three week

128
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: rule to where you know, if we don't want to

129
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: be gone more than three weeks, and we'll come home

130
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: for a week and go again sometimes. But I remember

131
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: like going for three full months and not even coming home,

132
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: you know. Um, but we always we've always been a

133
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: radio band, and radio has always been our lifeblood, and

134
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: they've always been very very get to us. Did you

135
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: want to be a radio band at first? Or just

136
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: a rock band that the times happened to fit the sound?

137
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that it just kind of happened because you know,

138
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: we never toured before we got signed. We were from

139
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: South Mississippi and uh and we're from Biloxi, Missisipiorst Point, Mississippi.

140
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: But basically Biloxi were just like halfway in between New

141
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Orleans and Mobile, and um, we couldn't get a gig

142
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. We couldn't get gigs in Mobile, nobody.

143
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we just had to play like right there.

144
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: It worked at what worked to our benefit was the

145
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: fact that there just wasn't a whole lot to do

146
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: in the area. So we always had a ton of

147
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: friends at the shows and stuff like that. And um,

148
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: so we went made a local a little CD at

149
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: a local studio and had Kryptonite on it. Along with

150
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: what would become like half of the first record. And

151
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: um so we begged our local radio station to play it.

152
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: And you know they can't just do that, right, but

153
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: they had a local radio show that they would do

154
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: once a month, and um so they played us on

155
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: there a lot. And and finally we begged the program

156
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: director long enough uh that he was like, okay, I'll

157
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: add Grip tonight, and he tried it and it became

158
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: the most requests it's only ever had. And now some

159
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: of those people might have been interference our family for

160
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: a little while, but after a while it became like

161
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: a hit on that station. And they were a reporting station,

162
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: and so you know, the report was going out that

163
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: this number one song, and but there was no record

164
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: company beside it. So there came the record companies and

165
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: uh and we weren't even trying to get signed. We

166
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: they just came and it just happened. So where all

167
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: you guys, where'd you come? How did you come together?

168
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: We were all from the same little town, Escuatapa, Mississippi,

169
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and um mad and now which our our original guitar player,

170
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: he's he's passed away. We had he's my cousin and

171
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: we just always played together and started playing his garage

172
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: before I even had a drum set. And one of

173
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: his buddies left a jump set over there from new

174
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Play and and uh Todd our original bass player. Um.

175
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: He asked me in Matt to come over to this

176
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: house one day and play, and we just started the

177
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: end and I was the drummer. I didn't. I had

178
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: never sang in front of anybody ever, and I just

179
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I try it. And I was

180
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: so shy that Todd lived in a trailer and I

181
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: would sit in the in the in the front living room,

182
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: move his trailer and I would A couple of his

183
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: girlfriend and one of her friends would always be over there.

184
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: They were always at Todd's house. I was so shy

185
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: sit in my face in the corner and singing. Really,

186
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: how hard was it to drum and sing? Not? Not

187
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: so bad. I always wonder how people play guitar and seeing,

188
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: because I mean, I just can't get my fingers to

189
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: do that. But for the drums I played, and I'm

190
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: not a great drum or anything, but I played all

191
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: my life, and so it was never I never really

192
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: thought about it too much. So you never sang and

193
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: you hop up and you start singing, although you're shy, like,

194
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: could you feel you're pretty good at it? I felt

195
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: like I was. Um. I think probably the breakthrough for

196
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: me was when when they told me, like Todd's girlfriend

197
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: was like, you sound really good, you know, like okay,

198
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: you know it from there, and that that definitely helped

199
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: me come out of my shield. But I remember when

200
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: we recorded that first record. I got to get home

201
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: and I played it from my parents and my dad said,

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: who's that singing? I was like, you know it ain't.

203
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: That's funny, And it's such a funny story that your

204
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: local radio station playing the song is what ended up

205
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: getting you guys a deal, because there's kind of breaking

206
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: down for our listeners. If stations are big enough, their

207
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: playlists get reported to basically a database, and they take

208
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: the database and they go, Okay, this meant this song

209
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: had this many plays at reporting stations, and that's what

210
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: builds the chart. So any station that's big enough has

211
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: a reporting tag, and you're on reporting station and there's

212
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: this song, the number one song that has no record

213
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: label beside it, because every song, every band has a

214
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: label written right beside it. Like if they're on Mercury

215
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: or Hollywood, but three doors that had nothing nothing, And

216
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: so the label did multiple labels approach you guys, They

217
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: did Universal in Atlantic. It was the main two that

218
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: we talked to in a couple of a couple of

219
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: others and Um and UM. Money Littman came down, who

220
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: is now the president of Universal. That was when he

221
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: and his brother Avery Littman at first started are not

222
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: just started, but recently started Republic, which was a rock

223
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: very label on inside of Universal. And he came down

224
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: and talked to us, and uh, and we just liked

225
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: what Money had to say and he was honest with us,

226
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: and and uh, what does he say to you? You

227
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: know what stand out about the meeting above what made

228
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: us ultimately go with them above anybody else. He said, Look,

229
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: he said, a lot of people come down here and

230
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: lie to you and tell you this and that and

231
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: tell you what you want to hear. He said, it's

232
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: like this. You sell me records where it's all good.

233
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: You stop selling records. I stopped answering the phone. I

234
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: think good enough. And when you get signed, is it

235
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: like a recoup? Whenever they give you money for a record,

236
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: do they give you any sort of money up front,

237
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: like you here have money to go buy some clothes.

238
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: They did. They gave us. They gave us um assignment

239
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: bonus when we first signed, and it wound up that

240
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: we all got fifteen thousand dollars apiece to sign on

241
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: in all four members before was at the time we

242
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: all wouldn't spin it all on jet skis that in

243
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars. Again, we're the same agent basically from the

244
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: same part of the world. Because I'm from Arkansas. You

245
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: give me fifteen thousand dollars as a nineteen or twenty

246
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: year old, I mean one, that's more money that I've

247
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: ever seen it at once ever. And then too, I'm

248
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna make some dumb decisions too. And so you

249
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: guys all go buy jess Kis. It was gold And

250
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: where do you do? You ride them in the Gulf? Yeah? Yeah, right,

251
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: we lived right on the Gulf and right kind of

252
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: we grew up on the river, but just ride up

253
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: the river from the golf That's funny. You know what

254
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know is that you wrote Kryptonite in high school,

255
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: which is which is not? This is to me the

256
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: song that you guys would be known most for is it?

257
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: Is it to you? Um, it's what kind of started. Definitely,

258
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Here without You is kind of the

259
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: song that kept it going. But Kryptonite is definitely what

260
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: kind of school I'm play a little Kryptonite? This was

261
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: the jam I remember when he came out. I was like,

262
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know who these guys are, but I

263
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: love him. So tell me about this. You right? It

264
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: in high school hall the year like junior senior high school.

265
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I was a senior, and so you sit down and go,

266
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: are you watching Superman? Or? You know? It was? It

267
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: was I guess it was just me asking a question

268
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: of of like unconditional friendship. It's like, if I'm doing good,

269
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: will you'd be there for me? And if I'm down,

270
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: will you'd be there for me? And you know, honest

271
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: to god, I didn't think a whole lot about it.

272
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: You know, it sounded good and the words rhymed. It

273
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: meant a lot more to me later and it still

274
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: means things to me right now because later on in

275
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: my life I started realizing that question was kind of

276
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good question. If I go crazy, will you

277
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: still call me Superman? Or if I'm alive? And will

278
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: you will you be there holding my hand? And the

279
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: reason it became more meaningful to me later was the

280
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: fact that so many times it's like people are willingly

281
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: there for you when you're down, but those same people

282
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: that's like, oh, yeah, man, you're gonna do great, You're

283
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna do well. If you start doing great, those same

284
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: people will kind of turn on you sometimes, you know.

285
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: And so that question kind of became a valuable question

286
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: to me and and and pretty meaningful for me. It's

287
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: almost like a marriage vale you know, for richer or poor,

288
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, to death do us part. It's almost what

289
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that is, like if I'm good, are we good? If

290
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm bad? Are we good? Are you gonna You're gonna

291
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: be there the whole time? And that was the one

292
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: that the local stession played. Now was that you guys

293
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: first single, like right out of the box. It was

294
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: so it was the one that that worked for you guys,

295
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: and then you ran with it nationally and did you

296
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: feel good about it early? Like we're stations receptive to it?

297
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: They were, and they were, and it started doing good

298
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: and then it kind of it kind of leveled all

299
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: for a second, and they're like and then it. Really

300
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like hit another year and it took off.

301
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: Could you feel that when it was early? Yeah? And

302
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: so you start to get calls from like TV shows,

303
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: are you doing like the the the late night shows

304
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: or MTV stuff like that. We did. We never did

305
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: a whole lot on MTV, but we've done all the

306
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: late night shows. So back did you ever do Letterman? Oh?

307
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: We did? How was that? It was cool? Yeah? It

308
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: was literally cool because the theater was so cold. Yeah,

309
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: but we played I think I think we held the

310
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: record on Jay Leno Show for the most times on

311
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: I think we played Jay Leno Show seven times. Is

312
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: he super nice? Yas I was gonna say, like the

313
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: the whole thing with Jay was he would come by

314
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: and be super nice. Hey, hey he's dripping. He was

315
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: really really cool. So yeah, so that comes out and

316
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you gotta be feeling pretty good. But do you start

317
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: to feel like, man, I wonder for a one and

318
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: done band, oh man, because that can be the kiss

319
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: of death, Like one huge song? Can that can do

320
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: you in? Just would you rather have had one huge

321
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: song let's say like a chumba wamba or lou bega

322
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: and went away or had no major song at all,

323
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: but a few that were okay. I think I'd rather

324
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: have a few that was okay. Yeah. Why is that?

325
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Because I think it would create more longevity in your

326
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: career and allow you to go play more shows, because

327
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know, a lot of bands kind of

328
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: look at it as like we toured to promote a record,

329
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: but we put out a record so we could go tour.

330
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: You know, we always we just always like to go

331
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: play live. And you also, I guess, would become kind

332
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: of a character of yourself if you have one song,

333
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: like you're always did that image of that one song

334
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: because there's not another one or two to balance it

335
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: out so much. And I say that because I was

336
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: watching this story about Bobby McFerrin, who has Don't Worry,

337
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: Be Happy. He won't play that song anymore because he's like,

338
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: that was like a goofy song that I never expected

339
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: to be a hit, and that actually doesn't represent me

340
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: at all, and so he doesn't play that at all. Really, yeah,

341
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't play it at all. Like what do you

342
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: get tired of playing the big hits? I don't. I

343
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: don't because uh, and we're doing a lot of acoustic shows,

344
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: right now and I like doing acoustics because it gives

345
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: me a chance to talk to the crowd. And one

346
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: of the things I was telling the crowd the other

347
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: night because I just talk whatever on my mind, you know,

348
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: and and I was just telling him. I was like,

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, it never it never gets old. And and

350
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: because I love hearing him sing it back. And it's

351
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: weird because for the last fifteen years we wore in

352
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: ear monitors. Well, had a weird situation like two weekends ago,

353
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: my monitor guy, we were in and out of town,

354
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, and he left our inn years at home

355
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: and thank god we had some wedges. And so that

356
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: was my first time to sing with wedges in like

357
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Wow. And So by the way, wedges, for

358
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: people that don't know, the inner ears are uh a

359
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: little the tiny things that you see the artists wearing

360
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: their ears. And so basically it's a mix inside the

361
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: years and it seals off all the outside sound and

362
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: what the monitors are are, or the wedges are, the

363
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the on stage, the little box speakers. Everybody can kind

364
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: to hear them, but they're pointed at you. And so

365
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: it was the first time in fifteen years you'd use us. Yeah,

366
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: and uh for one of our shows, and it allowed

367
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: me to hear the crowd, and I was like, man,

368
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: missing this because you know, sometimes for the inn ears,

369
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: you only hear what you want to hear. But it

370
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: can really kind of it can definitely separate you from

371
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: everybody out there. I have, I usually have some ambient

372
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: mics in there a little bit, but um and coincidentally,

373
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: the first the first of those two shows was it's

374
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: pretty small and uh, I could I could hear people

375
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: like talking while I was singing shut up, Okay. So

376
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: I just saw by the way, you mentioned the acoustic

377
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: before you get to the next point, back porch jams out.

378
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Here's Kryptonite, the acoustic version that three doors down just

379
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: put out. Man, do you guys rerecord these? Did you

380
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: go energy pill stuff back? Or howd you do that?

381
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: We just we have a studio that we own just

382
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: up in Hendersonville and it's just a small, little nothing

383
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: studio and we just went in there and and ran

384
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: through them and just played them I think just maybe

385
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: once or twice, is that right? Because we tried to

386
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: keep it kind of live. We didn't want it to

387
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: be like to like right, you know, it's my whole life.

388
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to be too right. I just won't

389
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: feel normal if it's too right. You know, you mentioned

390
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: people talking. I did a whole thing on the air

391
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago where I was talking about

392
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: acoustic shows or even when I do stand up, Like

393
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: there's a difference because when someone's talking and I'm doing

394
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: stand up, it kills all of like my rhythm. I'm

395
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: talking and if you yell hey, you're all even if

396
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: you hey, you're awesome, it it stops it. It kills everything.

397
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there's a difference in screaming that out

398
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: when I'm doing stand up or someone is doing an

399
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: acoustic show versus when there's fire and there's big electric

400
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: guitars and know, you can scream it all you want,

401
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: like tell tell the artist you love him, but if

402
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: he's depending on the attention of the room, he's got

403
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: to have the attention of the room. And so you're

404
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: playing these acoustic shows and you started to notice that

405
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: was a thing, huh you do It is irritating because

406
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: for me, but I don't know about you, but I

407
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: feel bad. Not for me. I'll be fine, Like I go,

408
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: I do the best I can, and I feel good

409
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: about it. But it's the people that are sitting out

410
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: there that paid for the ticket that have to hear

411
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: some idiot yelling and I feel bad for them, and

412
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: I get mad for them, and sometimes like I popped

413
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: off the crowd at people in the crowd, and I'm like, dude,

414
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: they didn't pay to hear you tell jokes. They paid

415
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: to come and experience whatever I'm bringing. And I wonder,

416
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: do you feel that way? I do? I do? And

417
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: you know, and and at one of the shows, that

418
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: that first show, so there was somebody over over out

419
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: on one side of the crowd that was just kept

420
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: on screen, and I remember I could hear them while

421
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: I was singing, and I mean they weren't like screaming

422
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: obscenities or something hateful or anything. But after a couple

423
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: of songs, security kim and got him and take them

424
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: took him out. And I don't like to see anybody

425
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: get taking out of the show. I was kind of glahead, Yeah,

426
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: and you know what, and they paid for it too,

427
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: but they can't run it everybody else. That's right. That's

428
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: what That's all it's about to me, is that you're

429
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: running it for everybody else that got asiter that took

430
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: a night and dedicated to come watch freaking three doors

431
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: downplay and there's some guy won't stop screaming as you

432
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: guys are playing here without you acoustic which is cool,

433
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: which is also on the record or so that I

434
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: don't know, sounds pretty perfect to me, I'll be honest

435
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: with you. This is out now the back course shams

436
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: the acoustic versions. So this song? What single was this? Um?

437
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: This was all? This was the second single off the

438
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: second record, So okay, so it was a bit but

439
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Wain Kryptonite and here with us? So what was the

440
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: second single? A loser? That was the way loser starts

441
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: with that guitar at the beginning of it. Oh man,

442
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: that was a jam that that song. I didn't realize

443
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: it until speaking of like you don't realize what's going

444
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: on around you. And now I might be kind of wrong,

445
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: but in some way that song was number one at

446
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: rock radio for six months? Is that right? So in

447
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: one form or the other for six months it was

448
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: number one because I'm a loser? How is it? Jam man?

449
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: I said, love that song? I mean that's right here

450
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: in the baseline Boo boo that I loved it. Man,

451
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: I geek out over this music. When you played with us,

452
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the coolest thing I've ever done.

453
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: And I get to play with some alls and people,

454
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, I appreciate it. It was so

455
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: much fun because together you came and you sang Kryptonite

456
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: and here without you. I think it's a two songs

457
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: that we did and I just sang background vocals. That

458
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: was the coolest thing ever. It was so it was

459
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: so much fun. I really enjoyed, sincerely, I really enjoyed that.

460
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe you said yes, because I I told

461
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: him that's that is there anywhere we can get, you know,

462
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: three doors down. I get bragged. I know he lives

463
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: here and I didn't know we had the same management.

464
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: And they were like, you know you have the same

465
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: and I was like, sure it, say where reach out?

466
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: We know him and so they said, yeah, he's gonna

467
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: do it. I was like, are you kidding me? This

468
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: is the craziest thing any time. Man. That was awesome.

469
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Here's out here without your Now, let's do let's do

470
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: a loser a little bit. Here's a loser you guys,

471
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: pretty party and pretty hard at this point. Were yeah,

472
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: we were, But I actually you know how I wrote

473
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: that song, uh, when I was a teenager. Also, um,

474
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: I wrote it maybe before crypt well, no, it's a

475
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: little bit after. The Cryptic Knight was also like the

476
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: fifth song I ever wrote when I started, when we

477
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: wrote that first record, I've never even written songs. I didn't.

478
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: I didn't really. I started out writing poems. And I

479
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: guess the reason I wrote too many of them high

480
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: school because I think I had like algebra, which is

481
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: the class that I used to setting rhodium. I had

482
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: it right after lunch, and I think that was fourth period.

483
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: Third period was creative writing, and I used to love

484
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: creative writing. I was terrible in math, so I'd take

485
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: creative writing and then I go to lunch and I

486
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: go sitting math class and just like right, I fed

487
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: my brain, you know, and I'd go in there and

488
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: I wrote half that record in there. But I wrote

489
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: Loser right around that same time. But actually wrote her

490
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: about one of my friends and um and what actually

491
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: calling him a loser. But he and I grew up

492
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: together and I know him since we're little bitty kids,

493
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: and uh, he started getting into like jokes pretty bad

494
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: and stuff. And I wasn't writing a calling him a loser.

495
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: I watched his attitude chains to where I could tell

496
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: that like he thought he was a loser, and I was.

497
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: I was almost writing it from his perspective, looking at himself,

498
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean. And um, and

499
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: thankfully dude straightened up. And he's a good dude. And

500
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I had talked to him a long time. But um,

501
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: that it was written really about one of my friends.

502
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: You wrote those songs in high school, huh and here

503
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: they are lasting twenty years later. That's crazy. So were

504
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: you in high school? Were you the cool music kid?

505
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: Were the dorky music kid? I kinda hung out with everybody. Um,

506
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: And and it was really like I was saying earlier,

507
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: it worked hard at venues to be from that little town.

508
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: And I mean I kind of knew everybody. I wouldn't

509
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: like the kid that got picked on, but I wasn't

510
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: the kid that got invited every party either, you know.

511
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: And um, because we we we practice all the time.

512
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: We were just we played all the time and we

513
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: should have been better, but but we knew. We got

514
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: to where we knew everybody because there was one little

515
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: bar in our town and we played there every weekend.

516
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: And I was only sixteen and I had to get

517
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: I literally had to get a note from a parents

518
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: saying it was okay for me to be in there

519
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: and know a note that's funny, A no to break

544
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: We did? Um? Um, Well, this one, I wrote all

545
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: the lyrics. Um. The only thing I hadn't I didn't

546
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: write all the lyrics songs, Like two songs on some

547
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: of our later records, I co wrote those with a

548
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: couple of guys. Um. But this one, we had the

549
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: music for a little while for it, and I just

550
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: never could Sometimes we could have music and a couple

551
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: of the songs, I would write lyrics like completely independent

552
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: of the music, and I just had like this notebook

553
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: of lyrics, and we'd come up with songs and songs

554
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: and songs, and every now and then i'd be listening

555
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: to one and I'll be reading through there and It's like, heym,

556
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: those lyrics work with that music, and I think I

557
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: can run. Was at least part of it kind of

558
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: wound up like that. Man, this was a rock song.

559
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Right here, I'll sing them all back. I'm here a

560
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: little bit of this. I mean it's heavy. Yeah, it

561
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: was it heavy and now here and now it's it's heavy?

562
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: Was it again to the time? Was it considered heavy?

563
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: M hm? So of that was the first song we

564
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: used kind of like that song was the first song

565
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: I ever heard auto tune on, and we used this

566
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: sort of as an effect. There's a couple of spots

567
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: you can hear my voice kind of like and uh.

568
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: I remember one of the guys from some forty one

569
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: like messing with me one day at the show. He

570
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: was like, so, tune all your vocals, I like, dududes.

571
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: In fact, he's like, it sounds like tuning in to me.

572
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever it is. Which of those guys

573
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: that you become friends with during that time, like all

574
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: those bands that are, you know, basically touring together, seeing

575
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: each other on the road, who'd you guys become close with? Um?

576
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: I guess some of the guys that I became close

577
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: with that I'm still friends with this Uh, some of

578
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: the closer ones, would you know? I don't talk to

579
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: him all the time. But the theory of it dead

580
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: Man guys, is that right cool one to guys, that's

581
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: a that's a rock band. Yeah, and they're a good

582
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes. Where they love now. I think they're

583
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: all in Canada, so the Canadians they are like. I

584
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: would listen to the Edge in Dallas. That's where I

585
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: would hear three of the Dead Man. I would this

586
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: is how dorky I was, right because I was really

587
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 1: into the rocks. You know. It went from like, uh,

588
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: I found nine Country in the nineties, and then the

589
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: whole grunge movement for me was big because I grew

590
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: up grungy anyway. And finally I just looked like those

591
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: people because I was dirty kid anyway. But that was

592
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: cool to be a dirty kid. And I was like, finally,

593
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: somebody that's that looks like me. And so I listened

594
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: to all that and that transitioned into kind of you

595
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: guys this time, you know, the two thousand's, the early

596
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: two thousands, and so I would have my friend get

597
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: on the Edge in Dallas and take a cassette and

598
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: just pit record play and tape an hour flip it

599
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: tape an hour then mail it to me and I

600
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: would listen to it back and I would hear you guys,

601
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: and some of the rock songs that wouldn't go to

602
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: pop but would just go to the edge, Theory of

603
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: a Dead Man, and you go through all those all

604
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: those bands like that, And that's what that reminds me of,

605
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: is that time period cassettes, man, and sometimes even I

606
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: would record songs. I don't know if you did this

607
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: back in your hold doubt, I would. I would go record,

608
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: play pause and then when the song that you like start,

609
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: you take that pause off quick, and you hope to

610
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: god the stupid DJ would talk over the intro. Yeah,

611
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: even like okay, so top five and nine don't talk

612
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: over the intro on posit? How many? How many singles

613
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: on that first record? Four? So what's the last one

614
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: that comes off? Be like that? Oh? If I can

615
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: be like, was this on a movie too? It's on

616
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: the soundtrack? It was. It was on the American Pie

617
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: that's right. We didn't write it for it, but it

618
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: wound up being on it. And actually we had to

619
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: change the first lyrics of it because the first lyrics

620
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: spans nice California. Well, that song takes place in Middle America,

621
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: so I didn't like to mention of California, so we

622
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: we changed it to spend his whole life being too young,

623
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: live life, to send his dreams. And it's still around

624
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: with the nickline. Instead of California being too young, is

625
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: California being too young? That's syllable that that's the So

626
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: did you change it for just the soundtrack like on

627
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: the on the record it was it was California on

628
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the soundtrack. You have to go back in the studio

629
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: and re record that and hopefully it sounds the same,

630
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: like don't have a cold or something. It's hard to

631
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: do that, man, it's hard to go and I mean

632
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: you can use the same microphone, you could be in

633
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: the same studio, same everything. It's hard to go back

634
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: because I've tried. I have had to do it a

635
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: little touch ups here and there, and it's hard to

636
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: do it a couple of weeks later because my voice

637
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: changes every day, you know, and especially when you're younger

638
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: like that, and not from just your voice changing. But

639
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: I didn't have as much control over it then, and

640
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to go back in there and and make

641
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: it sound the same to where it just lines up

642
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: with the rest of a of a take. You Now,

643
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: when you say that's the first thing I thought is, wow,

644
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: you had to change it. And from that's quite the

645
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: time difference from when you record it for the first

646
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: record and when this movie comes out. Four singles, that's

647
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: what a year, year and a half. Yere about a

648
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: year and a half a thing. So that first single, Kryptonite,

649
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of rockets. That fourth one goes

650
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: back to pop and does it really well. I remember

651
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: that playing that one like crazy. So you start with

652
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: a bang and you end with a bang. Going into

653
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 1: the second record, you gotta feel pretty good about yourself.

654
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: It was that was It was amazing. It was amazing.

655
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: I remember I literally remember being so mad one night

656
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: and like at at my and R guy was like,

657
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: why a will to sell eighty thousand records last week?

658
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: That was like, man, this is bull crow last week?

659
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah a random week. Wow, times have changed. My friend

660
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: was like what or maybe it was like sixty thousand

661
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: or something, but it was like ridiculous. It was some

662
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of records and I was like what it

663
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: gets so crazy? I was killing it now. Artists auld

664
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: beg I think like Florida George lines like fifty last week,

665
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: it was like the biggest I don't listen, times have

666
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: changed to like the way that people get music. Absolutely,

667
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: but okay. So the second record was that Away from

668
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: the Sun. It was I don't even have notes on that,

669
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: like I'm just going straight from from memory here Away

670
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: from the Sun, like the black cover the sun kind

671
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: of tell me if I'm wrong, like, um, like maybe

672
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: like the moon's covering a little bit. There's like an

673
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: outside like edge of the sun. Is that right? I'm

674
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: so good at this. I'm good at And so first

675
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: song off the record is Wife. The first single off

676
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: of Away from the Sun was when I'm gone jam

677
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: come on. I had to think about that, now, what

678
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: this is the jam? Thats the jam too? Listen to this.

679
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: Would you get nervous that a song was coming out

680
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: of would you? At this time You're like, we're kind

681
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: of feeling that, we feel like it's gonna do good,

682
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: just put it out. I was nervous. I was why

683
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: is that? Because it was the first one was so big.

684
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: We had every chance in the world to fail, you know,

685
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: because because at the same time, you know, we were

686
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: never we were never like the cool band. You know,

687
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: It's like we never got like coverage of this band

688
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: or this band, because it was always you know, things

689
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: that tend to follow the trendy bands, you know what,

690
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: so many, so many of those musement movements of music

691
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: just like that just spike up. And you know, it

692
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: was like, is it gonna work amongst all that? And

693
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: and and it would, but I think I got nervous

694
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: every time. Was there ever resentment that you guys didn't

695
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: get the coverage? And did you ever go is it

696
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: because we're from super South? Is it because I mean

697
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: I resented it? And I mean and you know, because

698
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: even really, you know, they wanted us to kind of

699
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: separate ourselves from being so Southern. And I mean you

700
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: can hear the way I talk. I've tried not to

701
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: for a little while, and I just couldn't help it,

702
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, and you know, I guess

703
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: they associated with being kind of stupid or whatever. Then

704
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: especially you know, it's like because there were no Southern

705
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: bands out and Hatton been for a long time. You know,

706
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: I think the last Southern bands out before us, there

707
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: was a rock band. And you know, how does that

708
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: conversation go where they go, And is it a conversation

709
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: where they say, hey, like we need you to be

710
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: a little more California, a little more you know not,

711
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: because again it's another Southern guy right in front of

712
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: you asking this question. Because when I started in radio

713
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: and they were like, he if you're gonna do pop

714
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: an epop, you have to lose rags in a little bit.

715
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: So that conversation has had to me. And I did

716
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: a bit, and now I've kind of got back to

717
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, I sound a bit like I sounded growing up.

718
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: But was that conversation had with you, Like, guys, you

719
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: gotta chill out a little bit on the in the Mississippi?

720
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: They did, and they sent this to a voice coach

721
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: for a couple of sessions and just to help us

722
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: like like me, which you know, a new proper grammar.

723
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I just don't like to use it, you know what

724
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And but I did. I tried to lose

725
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: it for a little while. And I mean, and it's

726
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: not as thick as it was when I started, man,

727
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: that was it was. I probably could have managed to

728
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: shave a little bit of at all of these are

729
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: people surprised sometimes I think your accident is when you

730
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: do talk, they are because you don't really hear it

731
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: in the music. But again, you don't really hear the

732
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: Spice girls being British and most of the stuff they

733
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: sing either I know or it bows me away. Like

734
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: you you've seen this actor in four or five movies

735
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: and then you see him excepting an award or something.

736
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: It's like, what the guy walking Dead kills me. He's

737
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: off the show now. But the main guy, Rick Grimes,

738
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: he would say he's on the show. He's like from

739
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta and he talks and he's like Rick Grimes and

740
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: then he's on the awards show is going it my

741
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: thanks for the award. I'm like, what is happening right now?

742
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to hear this. You're running everything

743
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: I know about this guy. I pictured him in the

744
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: Grinds in Atlanta, not this kangaroo guy. So you keep

745
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: making heads, but you're probably not getting the respect that

746
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: you just you feel like you deserve in the mainstream.

747
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: Like that would that would irritate me. It was a

748
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: little irritating, but um, but then you know, I guess,

749
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: But then you go home and forget about it. You know,

750
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: because you're amongst your friends and and they're glad that you.

751
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: I always just thought it was more important to stay

752
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: me than it was to be who they wanted me

753
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: to be, because you know, I think for my mom daddy,

754
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, they were always encouraging to me and and

755
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: just let me do my thing. You know, they didn't

756
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: force me to do it, but they didn't keep me

757
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: from doing it. But you know, my mom just always

758
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: your mind's like, Brad, that won't always be there son,

759
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, And it's always kept that in my mind

760
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: that this will you know, who I am will always

761
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: be here, but that won't always be there. So I

762
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: just kind of got to where I just took it

763
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt and I just am who

764
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: I am, you know. And how is the relationship between

765
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: the band as you guys started to skyrocket with the

766
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: songs doing so well, getting better, getting worse worse? Really

767
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: it did, because honestly, I mean we all got out there,

768
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: party in and like one of us was, all of

769
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: us drink a good bit, but like one of us was,

770
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: it wasn't that we didn't get along, our drugs didn't

771
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: get along because one person was on this and one

772
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: person was on this, one person was on this, and

773
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: and and by our third record, we all had our

774
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: own buses. It was four five guys in the band

775
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: um and four four band busses and then all the

776
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: crew busses. So we were rolling around with seven busses

777
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: because the four main band guys just hated each other.

778
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: So how does that dynamic work when you have to

779
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: work on things and when you have to get on

780
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: stage and be a collective. It that got to where

781
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: it was like the only time that we've seen each

782
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: other with sound check and on stage, and you know,

783
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: we were playing amphitheaters and stuff. You keep a pretty

784
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: consistent sound, so we'd get a sound established and we

785
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't even do sound check. I wouldn't see some of

786
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: those see the guys until it was you know, if

787
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: we played at nine, I'd see M and eight thirty

788
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: we were in the addressing room and putting years on

789
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: and it was just all right, you guys ready, And

790
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: then you go out and play and rocket show and

791
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: everybody thinks that you're the best friends ever because you

792
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: used to be and you look like you I mean,

793
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: you go out and you you're you're a rock band.

794
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: You're rocking, people think you're rocking as brothers. When does

795
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: it get better? Um? Or does it? It's it's sort

796
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: of didn't man. I mean, you know, I'm the There

797
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: was three of us to start, and I'm one that's here,

Speaker 1: one's dead and both there's a result of drugs, man.

800
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: And you know, and Chris, Chris was not one of

801
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: the original guys, but he was in the band when

802
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: we got signed. And I think I for him because

803
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: he got clean. You know, he was on toe completely different.

804
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: My thing was just always drinking and I drink profusely,

805
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: and uh, he he did a lot of different other

806
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: other things, but uh, he got clean. And my drummer,

807
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Greg up Church, he's been a drummer for he became.

808
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: He used to play for Puddle of Mud. And when

809
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: Daniel left and went to Nickelback. Um, that was right

810
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: after we had done a tour that was nickel Back

811
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: three doors down in Puddle of Mud, and Daniel went

812
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: to Nickelback. Greg came with us and in Greg' from

813
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and uh and Greg drink like a fish too. Um.

814
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: And it got to where, you know, Chris Bye, not

815
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: so General Persuasion, went to went to rehab and he

816
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: got clean and somehow, and it's a testament to his sobriety,

817
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: stayed sober with us still partying like mad men. And

818
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: then a few years later, Greg about not so General Persuasion,

819
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: went to rehab and he got clean from just from drinking.

820
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: And man, I started seeing those guys and I was

821
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: still I knew that, I knew that I needed to

822
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: to change, and but you know, I started seeing what

823
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: those guys had, and you know, you see them over

824
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: there and they're happy, and I'm still here miserable. And

825
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: I think I for a man because seeing them like

826
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: that and through their encouragement, you know, they were They

827
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: never pushed it on me, but I was like, I

828
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: have to and they got to be where I could trace.

829
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 1: I was ruining my life. There was no big tragedy

830
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: or no catastrophe or anything, but I was putting my

831
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: wife through hell. I was putting everybody I knew through

832
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 1: hell and putting myself through hell. And I was seen

833
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: around me and I was like, I have to change.

834
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: And I went to rehab, and it's the best thing

835
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: I ever done, because I wanted to get sober, but

836
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know how. And I went out there and

837
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: they taught me how how to deal with my problems.

838
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Because people don't have drug addictions, they have life problems.

839
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: And they you know, they don't have drug problems, whether

840
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: they have life problems. And they sidestepped there the facing

841
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: their problems. They sided step them and use drugs. And

842
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: that's what I was doing. And and and I just

843
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: had to learn how to and I had to miss

844
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: in the gross misconception of what rehab was. I thought that,

845
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, like you're going to a hospital and they

846
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: stepped you down, and like you're gonna sit here and

847
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: do you sober. But I just went out there and

848
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: they it was like going to college to learn how

849
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: to be sober. And it was awesome and it was

850
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: the best thing I've ever done. And it ain't like

851
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: you come out in your life's perfect, but it's sure

852
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: started to get a lot better. And and beans that

853
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: I was sober, and two other guys we were sober

854
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: in the band. The other two guys who didn't really

855
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: have a problems anyway, they might casually drink a little bit.

856
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: We all got sober and it was like being in

857
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: a different band. Man, I was. That's why I said,

858
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: we should could have always been like that, because we

859
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: go out there now and we didn't. We generally we

860
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: h h during our last summer to where we were

861
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: out and we uh, we were coming somewhere. We're going

862
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: from point A to point B and we were in there,

863
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: like five miles of arches National Parks. We got off

864
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: the bus and everybody went walked around the park together.

865
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I cannot believe it. I've been in

866
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: this band for twenty years and this is the first

867
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: one of the first times I can. I could look

868
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: around and I was standing in the National Park with

869
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: all five band members in it, and I was like, man,

870
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: when you took that in, I wish you could have

871
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: always been like that. You know what's funny is you

872
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: talk about these guys are not being put in um

873
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: with gentle persuasion like my So I'll give you a a

874
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: quick backstory before I tell you the question. I appened

875
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: my mom died in authorities from drinking and drugs because

876
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: then I put into rehab a couple of times, and

877
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: she never wanted to be in rehab, so rehab never

878
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: worked for her. If that makes sense. Like when you

879
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: say they didn't want to go, I go, man, because

880
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: you have to embrace that. Really do they to hear

881
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: that they didn't want to go and it still worked

882
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: for them? It's pretty amazing, it really is. It's it

883
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: really is. It was a miracle. It was a miracle

884
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: because Crystal tell you, I mean, it's not it's not

885
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: a secret. And and we we're not and you know,

886
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: we're not ashamed of where we've been or and how

887
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: we got to where we are. And he'll tell you

888
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: that he was bad and I was bad, just on

889
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: a different on a different kid, you know. And and

890
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: when he when he had to go, it was he

891
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: had to go. I mean he had to go and

892
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: and and I think when he got there, he like

893
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: realized it's like okay, it's I think he realized it's like, okay,

894
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: it's this or death. It was that that close. Was

895
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: it was that much of a problem. Was do you

896
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: do the thing? Because so I've never had drink of

897
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: alcohol because I like, I see my mom died from it.

898

Speaker 1: one of them it said it said, uh, alcohol is

919
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: the only drug you have two justified not doing? Oh? Yeah, true,

920
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: you're right, because it's it's such a social such a

921
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: social drug, you know that. Yeah, that's wild. You're like,

922
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: why don't you Why don't you drink? And it's like,

923
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: because I do, because I'm allergic to it. That's what

924
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: I just tell I'm allergic to alcohol. You know that's crazy.

925
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: And listen, that's a great story. I didn't even I

926
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna spear off into that. But I'm comfortable talking

927
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: about my story and it's great to hear somebody else

928
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: that that is the same. Um, well, let's talk about

929
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: here without you, because this is the second of where.

930
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: This is where we are in the live I'm for

931
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: freaking three doors down and this one this is it.

932
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: This is the train. This is the train that really

933
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: like cements you guys as we are for real here

934
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: it is. Did you know this was the song? Did

935
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: you feel it? Um? You know it's it's kind of weird.

936
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: I had to fight for the song to be on

937
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: the record, and not against the record company or anybody,

938
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: but against my guitar but not Chris Matt, my first

939
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: guitar player, the woman that passed away. He fought me

940
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: tooth and nail about putting this song on the record.

941
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: He did not want He's like man, because he thought

942
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: it was he thought it was cc like a ballad

943
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: because it's like a it's a love song. No love

944
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: songs for three Doors Down, no ballads. He did not

945
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: want it. They're kind of stup. Come on, listen to this.

946
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: Did you know immediately when it was released that it

947
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: was well received, that the record company had a lot

948
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: of I think had more faith in that than we did,

949
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: because I was a little leary of it too, because

950
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: of people saying your close stock going I don't know,

951
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, and you know, and I think, what's

952
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: a what's a good gauge for me? This wound up

953
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: being our biggest song. And and I say that in

954
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: the modern sense, I guess because I use YouTube as

955
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: a gauge. Um, because you know, being were universal artists,

956
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: they have what is it, uh uh vimo, Vivo Vivo.

957
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, um, they have Vivo. So they took all

958
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: the universal catalog awfu of YouTube and they put it

959
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: all back on it once. So even though Kryptonite came

960
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: out a few years before Here Without You, or a

961
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: couple of years before Hit About You, they both got

962
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: a reboot and start over on the same day. And

963
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: I think Kryptonite has like two hundred something million views

964
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: on there. Here Without You has four hundred eighty nine

965
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: million views. I was like, well was that I have

966
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: a billion views? So I was like, what did That's

967
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: crazy and it's still going. I mean, you can look

968
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: on there now and I'll bet there's a comment from

969
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: like three hours ago. That's crazy. And that digital you know,

970
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: and that's how you get paid now, those digital plays.

971
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: There's that's money. That's crazy. It really is, um And

972
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just incredibly thankful for it. Man I

973
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm I think I'm just thankful for it.

974
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you whenever um like Away from the Sun,

975
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: I love that one. You like this again, slow ish

976
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: Away from the Sun. I was like, man, I can't

977
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: say any of the songs on the shower. I'm pretty good, Brad.

978
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: I can see something's really good in the shower, but

979
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: you have to hear me there. It's probably not a

980
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: place for us to go. But like this was a

981
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: jam too, Like that is my song. Yeah, if there's

982
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: never been a song, and I still feel it sometimes,

983
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but I tell you know, when I'm telling

984
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: the story of the acoustic shows, you know, if there's

985
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: one song that I had to choose to represent me.

986
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: This is this is why is that? I don't know,

987
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: I just feel it, you know, And I think we

988
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: can all. I think we all just feel like we're

989
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: we're climbing a heel. You know. It's only video that

990
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: I ever really had anything to do with, like conceptually

991
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: and um. And it's just a kid who's actually my

992
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: nephew plays the character in this video. And he'd never

993
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: been in a in a video or anything. And we

994
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: were talking about it and they were like, all right,

995
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: we'll find a kid. And I was like, got it.

996
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: Got him and he lives in the Mississippi lived in

997
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Mississippi at the time, so you got to him. My

998
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: sister got to fly out to l a and and

999
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: he had to be in a video and stuff. But

1000
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. You watch the video was

1001
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: like dang and good. But and that's a kid. He's

1002
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: just bound with all these leather straps and he's found

1003
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: to these big stones. He's dragging up this hill and

1004
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: he'll get to go in and it shows different like

1005
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: images of mirages or things that he sees, like you know,

1006
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: people talking about him and being bullied, and those are

1007
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: the things that knocks him back down. And it shows

1008
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: his his father slapping back down and and uh and

1009
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: and it shows like an angel at one point kind

1010
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: of guiding him come on this way. And and I

1011
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: think we can all relate to that that we're all

1012
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: in some way climbing that hill that jam. I love

1013
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: that song, Thank you man. That's why I still listen

1014
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: to Thank You. You know, I don't I don't curse

1015
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: my personal life, and I definitely don't curse on stage,

1016
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: like I have my my shows to be completely clean. Um.

1017
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: And I know that's the same thing with you guys.

1018
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: Now do you do if the bands are opening for

1019
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: you have songs with curse words, you have that talk

1020
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: with them like, hey, we don't do that, or not

1021
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: we shy away from a band and if they get

1022
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: out there, you know it's one thing. It was the festival.

1023
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: You can't really say and and I don't speak perfectly

1024
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: in my private life, but do not cuss on stage.

1025
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: And and that also goes back to my mama told

1026
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: me I better not get out this. She's said to Brad.

1027
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: My mom has other baptist of the bones. She said

1028
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: to Brad, you gotta do comes on that stage. Don't

1029
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: be shamed of you. So I never did, and and

1030
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: and but you know it's worked out and people value

1031
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: that very very much because I can't tell you, you know,

1032
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: especially we're having songs about Superman and this and that.

1033
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: We have a lot of kids at our shows, and

1034
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: we still have a lot of kids at our shows.

1035
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: It's like just the next generation of them, which is

1036
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: freaking cool. It's the kids of the kids, yeah it is.

1037
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: And um and but I I've over the years had

1038
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: so many parents come up to me and said thank

1039
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: you for putting on the show that I can bring

1040
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: my kids too. And and you know, we really have

1041
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,959
Speaker 1: tried over the years to kind of two I mean,

1042
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, hey, man, come on, you know you can't.

1043
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: How do we hate to try to control an opening band.

1044
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: But they got out the humor volga or something. We

1045
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: definitely say something to them about it. Yeah, I will

1046
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: have that talk with my openers, like I'll bring music

1047
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: as because I'll when when I tour, I'll go and

1048
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: I'll do an hour set of stand up. But I

1049
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: kind of treat like a variety show. I have someone

1050
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: coming to open musically for me, and I have to

1051
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: talk like, hey, people, it's not a kid's show, but

1052
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: there may be some kids in the crowd, but people

1053
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: feel like this is safe space. Like don't get out

1054
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: there and be political, don't get out there and be

1055
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: dropping F bombs and S bombs. Like, just know that

1056
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: people feel like this is a spot for them to

1057
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: come and breathe and smile and taking a show. And

1058
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: there can be some kids. And if it's PT thirteen,

1059
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: that's all right, or if it's SpongeBob Escort you make

1060
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: a joke that's the only adults will get and kids

1061
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: really won't. That's okay too. But that's a you know,

1062
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: I do that, and people appreciate that because they don't

1063
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: have to come in and worry and sit and go

1064
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: all right, is this gonna be a place where one

1065
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: of the ways I'm gonna feel uncomfortable? I don't want that,

1066
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's awesome that you do that too, man,

1067
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,480

1075
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,640

Speaker 1: lot of these quote unquote finger quote legit rock artists

1087
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,160

1088
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: you guys ever start feeling that hate because you've got

1089
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: so big? Did um from from? It was? It was

1090
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: like those little movement bands, and it was from bands

1091
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: like some forty one and then those I like, I mean,

1092
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't mean to stick as they say, spelled the tea,

1093
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: who is it? I mean, it's just all those like,

1094
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, those those movement bands, the punk bands that

1095
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: come through and then this little movement comes, you know,

1096
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: and we were we were never like the cool guys. Um.

1097
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like we've done a

1098
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that we've done sort of under

1099
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: the radar, you know, because we were never like big

1100
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: enough that that We've got a lot of hate. You know,

1101
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: I would say that you guys are one of the

1102
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: most underrated bands in my lifetime because of the amount

1103
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: of hits you have, and people unfair they don't put

1104
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: you in that conversation of the sounds that changed other

1105
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: and influenced other sounds, because again we we don't even

1106
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: play all your hits. I just would have like nine

1107
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: ten humongous songs. Here we're talking about humongous songs that

1108
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: crossed the genres. And you know, I feel like you

1109
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: guys are super underrated. Would you think that three Doors

1110
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: Down an unrety band. It's hard, it's hard to be

1111
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: humble and say yes, But I wonder, I wonder what

1112
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: you say, Um, we never got a lot of attention.

1113
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: But but it's okay, I'm cool with it. Wouldn't not me.

1114
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: I'm too competitive because I always felt sorry, you know,

1115
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: like just's just say like it's easy to easy to say,

1116
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: Like Britney Spears always felt sorry for her man living

1117
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: under that microscope. It would drive me crazy too. I

1118
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: know she had like her little episode and stuff, but

1119
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, when there's constantly I can't imagine walking out

1120
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: of every restaurant, heavy establishment, everywhere that I went, somebody

1121
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: standing there with the camera or something. Are always wanting

1122
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: to just living under the microscopes. I never always used

1123
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: to say, men, I love being a radio band because

1124
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: everybody knows their songs. They don't know what I look like,

1125
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: and so I can sell a bunch of racers, but

1126
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: I can see go to Walmart. That's funny you mentioned

1127
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: Walmart because I was talking to a friend of mine

1128
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: who lives in Boston. I was like, growing up, we

1129
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: used to hang out of Walmart. Like you go to Walmart,

1130
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: you know, you're in the parking lot, or you're in

1131
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: Walmart or Sonic like in the South, that's where you

1132
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: hang out. And he was like Walmart. I was like yeah,

1133
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: and like we used to go and hang out the

1134
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: jets of Belle Walmart, Like, all right, Friday night, we'll

1135
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: go and quote cruise, you know, you drive around this

1136
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: little square and then we'll just end up at the Walmart.

1137
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny that you would say that,

1138
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: because that's that's totally a Southern thing to like to

1139
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: hang out of Walmart. That's funny, man. So but did

1140
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: they ever do the thing with you guys where they go, hey,

1141
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: you should like they had another celebrity, because if you

1142
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: do that, they can raise the image of the band.

1143
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: They ever did that with you guys? You know I

1144
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: would have been like, Brad, there's Christina Aguilera. I'm gonna

1145
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 1: set you up right now. Do you ever think about

1146
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: moving to Los Angeles? Did you move to Los Angeles?

1147
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: Not only only while we were making a record? How

1148
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: they there for like a month? They ever say in

1149
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: the movie need to get where the action is and

1150
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: live there to be a part of it. Not so much.

1151
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: I think they kind of wanted us to move to

1152
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: New York for like a little bit, and I was like, uh,

1153
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: what was up with that? But why do they think

1154
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: that was a good idea? Just to be in being

1155
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: just like amongst the label and just being amongst the

1156
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: business and everything. Um, but I just I couldn't do it, man,

1157
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: I am I am a country mouse. I can't do it.

1158
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: What's home life for you? Like now, we live on

1159
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: a farm out in Murphysborough. My wife, Barrol, racist horses,

1160
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: and we have six horses at our house. We got

1161
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: a fifty acre farm, which I never thought i'd have

1162
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: much that much land. And it's kind of out in

1163
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: the country, but it's at the same time, I got

1164
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: a grocery store like six miles from the house, and

1165
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: and it's not fancy, but it's it's my heaven. And

1166
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: I will get there and if we have stuff to eat,

1167
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: and I'll go home and the gate closes behind me

1168
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: and I won't leave for three or four days. As

1169
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: we do. I assume you have help. We have. My

1170
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: my friend comes and feeds horses when we're out of

1171
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: town or something if I'm gone. And I have some

1172
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: guys that cut part of the yard, but just because

1173
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: I don't have enough time to cut it all, they

1174
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: probably cut like because I have to mow it all

1175
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: because some of us back in the woods and some

1176
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: of it like the horse pastures may only cut a

1177
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: couple of times, maybe once a month, just to kind

1178
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: of knock them, knock the tops off, um, because they

1179
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: won't eat it once it gets a certain height. They

1180
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: have their we have phenicky horses. They're spoiled. But there

1181
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: are kids. Um, but you know that, right. Um. So

1182
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: they cut probably ten acres and I cut the pastures

1183
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: and we do it all ourselves. When when I leave here,

1184
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm going home to clean horse steals. And you're smiling

1185
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: as you say it, like it's like you love it.

1186
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: I like they're my babies though, because we don't have kids.

1187
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: Our horses are kids. And and and now I say,

1188
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: I'll smile about it here, I'll run about it, but

1189
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm standing here doing it. But you know, there are

1190
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times when I'm busy and just kind

1191
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: of going and going and going back. Man, I would

1192
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: love to be standing on in my barn right now.

1193
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: And it's just I mean it's peaceful, you know. And

1194
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: you get to do both. You get to be alone

1195
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: on your property and then you get to go and

1196
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: play shows and still have that lifestyle too and sing

1197
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: your songs. It's a blessing. And how often are you

1198
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: guys on the road right now? Oh? We go right

1199
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,480

Speaker 1: and we're gonna do like a full world world tour

1204
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,479
Speaker 1: on that one. Is that right? Is? That'll be fun

1205
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: and but I look forward to it. But I'm not

1206
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 1: twenty one years already anymore. Do you ever think about,

1207
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: because you know, the big thing with and not for me,

1208
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: but the big thing with a lot of people that

1211
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: about doing a country song and country record? I've been

1212
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: writing some lately, and I wrote about half of a

1213
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: country record one time. But honestly, I took it in in.

1214
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: I was talking to some record guys about it, and

1215
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: it's like sale, I said, why, They said, because it's

1216
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: because it's like it's really country in the two countries.

1217
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: Like help, what'd you listen to growing up? Um? I was.

1218
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm the youngest seven kids, so I grew up listening

1219
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: to whatever My brother's sisters listened to when I was

1220
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: a kid. My favorite band growing up was bon Jovi,

1221
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: and I grew up on the eighties rock and I

1222
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: loved it and loved it and and honestly, when when

1223
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: Nirvana and Stuff came out, I kind of fell off

1224
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: of it. I wasn't ready for it. I was too

1225
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: young for it, I think or something. And I listened

1226
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: to probably more country growing up than like my all

1227
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: time favorite songs the dance from Garthen Oh Yeah, I

Speaker 1: too that you know. I've I've learned a bit from

1237
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: when like with people like Garth, Brust walks into a

1238
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: room and every single person doesn't matter who you are,

1239
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: it gets the same attention. And Garth looks you in

1240
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 1: the eye and he spends time and when Garth leaves,

1241
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: you go. That was amazing. Yeah, And I think Taylor

1242
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: Swift learned from Garth and I'm just trying to get

1243
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,880

1259
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: very fortunate to meet like you say that that Garth

1261
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: and he's a he's like a real person. And I

1262
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: was very fortunate to be around some just for moments

1263
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: here and they're like really famous people like that, and

1264
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,479
Speaker 1: see that, just get a chance to see that. Wow,

1265
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: it's just he's just a dude. Dude, Yeah, just a

1266
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: freaking dude. Fans make us who we are. Man, I'm

1267
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: just the before my my when I got signed, I

1268
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: drove a forklift, and before that, I drove a bush

1269
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: halt tractor, I mowed tank fields. And I'm I'm so

1270
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: thankful I get to play in a rock band for

1271
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: a living. Just humans. Yeah, it's crazy that it's other

1272
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: people that make other people like Garth. It is just

1273
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: a good dude who has a skill at being Somebody

1274
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: else may have a skill like a brain surgeon, you know,

1275
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: at learning how how math works. They don't get that

1276
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: because people don't make a that. Imagine a math if

1277
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: in America, if people that did good math were celebrities

1278
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,479
Speaker 1: or count wuld be way ahead of China. They're taking

1279
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: our butts right now exactly because we need we need,

1280
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: like we need to start a movement to make mathematicians cool.

1281
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: Get us out and get us up and out of there.

1282
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: Way so you do you drove folk? Left? Word? You

1283
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: do that? At down in Passacola, Mississippi Electric Motor Shop,

1284
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: I've cleaned like electric motor we rebuilt electric motors and

1285
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: things like that, and and us I clean parts and

1286
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: and be blast them and stuff like that. But mainly

1287
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: probably drove more than anything. Could you hop back on

1288
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 1: one right now and feel like a bike? You could?

1289
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: I have two jackets at home and that stay on

1290
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: all the time. Let me ask you a simple one.

1291
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: Where did the name come from? Three doors down? Um?

1292
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: It came off of an old boarded up building on

1293
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: us actually um we um. We used to get down

1294
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: to Gulf Shores a lot and which is like the

1295
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: beachs down in Alabama, but pretty close to where we

1296
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: grew up. And driving down there you went through, uh

1297
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: a little town that was just full of fruit stands.

1298
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: And there would be several of those fruit stands in

1299
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: one building. And we had a gig, like our first

1300
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: show that night coming back and we didn't have a name,

1301
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: and we had like a notebook full of names. And

1302
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: one of those buildings had closed up and moved just

1303
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: a couple of parcels down and there was like tech

1304
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: on wooden letters. It said, you know, business move like

1305
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: so many doors down and somebody falling off or whatever.

1306
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: And there was three of us at the time, and

1307
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: and Todd said, well what about three doors down? And

1308
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: we're like all right, and it just kind of stuck.

1309
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: So like the first real name you came up with,

1310
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: you kept, well, that's odd. Most bands are like, well,

1311
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: our first name was the Wiener Jumpers, but we didn't

1312
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: like that, so then we just had to go with

1313
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: the Tonell Kids, and we didn't like that. Next thing,

1314
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, here we are you too, were like that

1315
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: was weird, But that's the first name. You guys had

1316
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: first name, and it's the only band I've ever been in.

1317
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: I've never been in another band. And you wrote too

1318
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: songs in high school and look at you. You're like happy, man,
