WEBVTT - Sunday Sampler - The Nashville Podcast Network (2-25-24)

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, it's time for this week Sunday Sampler. It's

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>highlight clips from some of the podcasts that came out

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. On the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Mike's Movie Podcast,

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 1>he went through a list of the best movie castings

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of all time, and he also gave a spoiler free

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>review of that movie that's supposedly terrible. Yeah, Madam Webb,

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know think about it, except everybody talks about

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>how bad it is, which makes me want to see

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it if it's that bad. Mike talks about it on

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Get Real with Caroline Hobby. Caroline sat down with a

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>thousand Horses, her husband Michael, is the lead singer, and

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Bobby Cast, I got to sit down with

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Terry Clark, is really cool, talked about moving to Nashville

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>from Canada and high school her signature cowboy hat. I

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>want to start with Terry Clark and we'll get to

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody else coming up here on the Sunday Sampler.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Help when my mom died because my mom was forty

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 2>six to forty seven when she died, So sorry, oh yeah, so,

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>but but you know, I also can sit here and

0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>talk with you about it from a place of empathy

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>more than sympathy, which I would rather talk from a

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>place of understanding, right because we get to relate.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 3>But I probably jump back in way too quick.

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I allowed myself to mourn at all.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 2>And then I think, over like the next five to

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>seven years, it kind of trickled out in weird ways,

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>just like something would trigger it.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Did your mom get sicker? Did she die suddenly and unexpected?

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>My mom was a drug addict and she died just

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>from years and years of like meth and substance abuse.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Did you have any idea it was going to take

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 4>her life?

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>She had been in and out of rehab a bunch,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 2>But I mean I never thought she would die.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 5>But she wasn't super healthy.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean she got pregnant fifteen, so it wasn't like

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the easiest life for her.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 6>So I don't know that I.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Was shocked, but yeah, I was surprised because it wasn't

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>that she was super sick. I think it was just

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>a partial like probably too much at that time, like

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and then partially her body just not being able to

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>hold on. But I remember I was working, I was

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on the air, and I got a call from my sister.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Nobody ever calls me during the show because they know

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty locked in and focused. And she was like,

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>moms died. And I was like, wait what she said, Yeah,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>mom died. And I said, okay, let me call you back.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>And I just finished the show because I didn't know

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 2>what to do. So I stayed for like two hours

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and just finished the show. And I told Amy, who's

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>my co host? Still to this day, those are all

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>my same people twenty years ago, and I was like, hey,

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna keep going.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 5>My mom died.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And I remember Amy crying the whole time, and mean

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I didn't because the only thing I knew.

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 7>Was to push.

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't partmentalized for sure.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 3>I had to learn as a kid.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Even so.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't because I was strong or cool.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if anything, I kind of wish I could have felt,

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 2>but you know, did the funeral arrange, it went right

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>back to work, and then it was I could feel

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>it like the next seven or eight years probably just

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>trickling out of me, where I wish I had taken

0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a little time.

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 3>To holy.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Where I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>looking back that I made the right decision. Doing that,

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>you how quickly until you went back to work.

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 4>My mom died in April, and I was back at

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 4>work in June. And my brother, who works on oil rigs,

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 4>he's an oil oil guy. He's younger, he was only

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 4>he was so young when she passed away. He was

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 4>only twenty seven and he went to Brazil to work

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 4>on an oil rig. And he actually he processed more

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 4>than any of us. He really mourned and he had

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>a very hard time with it. But my process was,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, I mourned. We had things to arrange, things

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 4>had to you know, I'm.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 6>A distraction, Like I just did the same thing.

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, then went back.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 4>To work, and then, you know, and then I'm moving again,

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 4>and then I'm renovating another house, and then I'm making

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 4>another album, and then I'm back on the road again.

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Then I'm writing songs for this next album. And then

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 4>I got to put that. It's been like, you know,

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm still wondering if I'm just going to absolutely fall

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 4>apart one day because I just stayed so as just

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, you keep pushing and stay so distracted, you know,

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 4>with whatever it is relationships or moving or projects, and

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, do you ever, and I'm.

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 5>Like, well, what does what does that look like?

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 4>If I just sit and go I have to be

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.679
<v Speaker 4>sad about mom and just lose my shit here for

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, yeah, god knows how long.

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 5>And I did mourn.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>But some of my friends who've known me my whole

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 4>life and my mom and knew my mom or like,

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 4>we were actually thinking that this was going to take

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>you down like big time for a long time, and

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 4>they've told me that they were actually surprised, or I guess,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what the word is, surprised that it

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 4>didn't as much as I thought it would. But she

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 4>was also very sick for three years and battling this thing.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Were you in Canada a lot while she was sad?

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Yeah, I spent a lot of time flying back

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 4>and forth. And I actually I had bought a house

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 4>near my parents that had bought a house on Vancouver

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Island so that they could retire there and because it's

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 4>just a beautiful place to be, and I bought a

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 4>place just to be near them when they were growing

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 4>old because I love my mom so much, and you know,

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 4>so I had a place there and I was able

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 4>to be there quite a bit took quite a bit

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 4>of time to go back and forth and be with her.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, my favorite part of this, my favorite story

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>here is you being at that bus stop calling your mom.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Your mom would have loved to have had your home,

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>but she loved you more than she would have loved

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>having you home. Yeah, and she made you go, Okay,

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>think about this. It just would have been so easy

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 2>for her to go, yeah, you need to come.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 5>Home, because believe me, she it was.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be awesome for her to have her

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.919
<v Speaker 2>daughter home, right, who she loves more than anything in

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the whole world. Yeah, Yet she's still a selfless enough

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to say, I don't think in her own way, I

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think you should come home right to not want

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 2>me to have she made you get there yourself. Yeah,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and you did.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's awesome.

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 7>Sounds awesome.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And there's been so many things that have happened

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 4>that she should be there for. My brother got married.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 4>I burst into tears that night. I've had my moments.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 4>I had one the other day. Carly Simon album comes

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 4>on and I'm chopping onions and it's not because of

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 4>the onions. I'm just bawling and I'm like, oh, it just,

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, just moments where it just comes out of nowhere.

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Small odd triggers still get me to like the random

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>home Depot commercial. Yeah, and I'm a song on the

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 2>radio like it's Yeah. Canada is to me the nicest

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.559
<v Speaker 2>place in the whole world. So I'm on like thirty

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>or something radio stations up there, and if I go,

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>everybody's so.

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Nice that it feels like they're going to murder me.

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm not kidding. I was scared the first time

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 2>that I went into even Toronto, which is a massive city.

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh, there are a lot of not nice people in Toronto, Bobby,

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 4>that's what you've been to the airport.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>That's why.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, they held Mike in the airport.

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>They held over a few hours, but I think there

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was another Mike with his name that was like a

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>killer or yeah, but people were so kind that I

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 2>was scared. They were like setting me up for something,

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's just the nature.

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm suspicious of your kind.

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, of Canadians.

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Where you grew up though, that was like that was

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>like West United States, right like above like.

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 5>Yes, above Montana.

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 4>So I was born in Montreal, which is kind of

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 4>like above New York and then moved to Alberta, which

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 4>was above Montana, and then moved back to above New

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 4>York and then moved back to Alberta. We zigzaged across

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 4>the country a couple of times when I was younger,

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 4>but I spent the majority of my formative years, I

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 4>guess from ten nine years old to eighteen in Alberta.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 4>In Calgary and medicine hat.

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Medicine has a cool name for it.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 5>It is, isn't it?

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it is.

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a lot of friends and even family that

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>are that live near Native Americans, and my wife's Oklahoma

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and so she's partially Native American too, and her some

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>of her friends back on I have the coolest names

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>like medicine hat, John medisine has.

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh, all the town's up there. I mean there's moose Jaw,

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 5>there's medicine Hat.

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 4>There's Pincher Creek, There's there's all kinds of Fort this

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 4>and Fort that.

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>And town Regina makes me laugh out loud.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know what, the city that rhymes was fun

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 4>they call it.

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>And I told people that's what was on a sign there,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and nobody believe me.

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, I I don't know that I can even tell

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 4>some of these stories on the air, because I'm sure

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Regina gets so mad about it because it's it's just

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 4>like it's every time I play there, my band's American,

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 4>and my crew everybody. It's the jokes leading up and leaving.

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm just like, okay, we got to get off this train.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 5>It's just come on.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 4>But how many how many Regina jokes do you guys

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 4>have in you?

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 7>It never end see that it's self.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 6>It's just funny, right, I know how many do I

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 6>have in me?

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 5>You fly in and out of there very hard.

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 8>I know.

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I'm not even gonna do it because it's

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>it sounds pervy when I do.

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 4>When you did it, it does sound pervy.

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 9>Bobby Bones, the pervy guy.

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 10>Cast up Little Food for yourself life.

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 11>Oh it's pretty bad.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's pretty beautiful, beautiful laugh a little more exciting,

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>said he can't.

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 11>You're kicking with four with Amy Brown.

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 12>Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 12>And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 10>All Right, I got my cousin.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 12>Amanda Rieger Green on because she released a numerology book

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 12>that's special for this year, and people are loving it,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 12>and Aman I want to start with why you put

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 12>something like this together.

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 13>I put out a numerology guidebook for twenty twenty four

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 13>because we are in a year of empowerment, and with

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 13>a year of empowerment, we have all this disempowerment. So

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 13>we're looking for expansion. We're looking for growth, we're looking

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 13>for abundance. We're looking to wake up and feel happier

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 13>and more whole. And with all of that, the energy

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 13>this year in the numerology is going to bring up

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 13>gunk that tells us we're not enough. We don't have

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 13>what we need, we can't do it, we don't have

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 13>the resources. We're exhausted. The energy of twenty twenty four

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 13>is an eight year. Two plus zero plus two plus

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 13>four equals eight. If you turn the eight on its side,

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 13>it's the infinity symbol. The infinity symbol. If you think

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 13>about the numbers in numerology, each single digit number has

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 13>an energy or a vibration. The zero and the eight,

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 13>if you look at the single digit numbers, are the

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 13>only two numbers that have no beginning or no end.

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 13>So the eight energy is in constant flux. It's like

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 13>centripical motion. The biggest key in the energy of the

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 13>eight is it's this energy of empowerment. So we always

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 13>experience the converse of anything this year through the eight.

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 13>So if empowerment, clarity, joy is what you're seeking, you

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 13>will automatically feel disempowered, unclear, lacking joy, spunk, or motivation.

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 13>And whenever you see those pitfalls, that's an opportunity to heal,

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 13>to recognize, to get present, and then to invite in growth.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 13>The energy of the eight is all about harnessing your

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 13>point of attraction. Your point of attraction is that energy

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 13>within the part of you that's connected to the divine

0:11:55.920 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 13>that is always attempting to attract in and what you desire,

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 13>what you want. And there can be this ego version

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 13>of you that is in fear and sending out signals

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 13>of lack or not enough or scarcity. Or you can

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 13>take those ego based fears and you can say, wait

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 13>a minute, how can I shift this? How can I

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 13>heal this? Where do I ask for help? How do

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 13>I call in God and my higher power? Where do

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 13>I call in my angels and guides? I'm not alone.

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 13>I've got this and I wouldn't have a dream in

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 13>my heart or looking for deeper meaning or purpose if

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 13>it wasn't out there for me to receive. This year

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 13>is about sending and receiving, and the probably the biggest

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 13>cornerstone of this year is whatever you focus on grows.

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 13>The eight is the master manifestor. So if you are

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 13>exhausted or in chaos, or completely in self pity or

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 13>self doubt, we're human. We all experience this stuff, and

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 13>sometimes it lasts longer than others, but if you stay

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 13>in it long enough, it will man mafest externally. The

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 13>same thing with happiness, abundance, love, joy. When you have

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 13>experiences that cultivate abundance or cultivate joy or excitement or creativity,

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 13>right place, right time, energy. When you notice that and

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 13>you're in it and you enjoy it and you recognize

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.840
<v Speaker 13>it and you think God and your guides for that,

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 13>it creates this stronger, more vibrant, high high energy point

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 13>of attraction that will bring and call in more things

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 13>that are aligned with you easily and abundantly.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 12>I feel like people are going to have more questions

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 12>about the Numerology guide Book, so can you give us

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 12>more details.

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 13>It's very simple, it's very straightforward, and it's super empowered.

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 13>There are mantras, there, crystal recommendations. It gives you the

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 13>numerology code and the energy month over month because we

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 13>have different numerology. We've got this overarching energy of the eight,

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 13>but each month has a different numerological component. And when

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 13>you work with the code in conjunction with the eight,

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 13>I break it down for you very simply and what

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 13>it resonates with. There are journal prompts. There's also strategies

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 13>and then blind spots. I love the blind spots because

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 13>it's like, look out for this, you know, look out

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 13>for self doubt or look out for self pity or

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.439
<v Speaker 13>you know, wearing your heart on your sleeve. And the

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 13>journal prompts help because they just get you into it.

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 13>The mantras, the crystal recommendations. It's really easy to follow,

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 13>but it's also really relevant even if you buy the

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 13>guide in May, because this is the way I work

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 13>with it. I will go back retrospectively, and I'll go

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 13>back to January, I'll go back to February. I'll retrace

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 13>my steps, and then I'll also go forward. I'll go

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 13>into November or December, and that way it's like I

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 13>have the whole picture and then I harness everything in

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 13>my now. So the guidebook gives you overarching energy of

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 13>the eight all the tools, tips, ends outs, highs, lows, vibes,

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 13>how to work with numbers and their energy. And also

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 13>it goes month over month very simply, very strategically and systematically,

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 13>and also in this really cool energetic vibe that gets

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 13>you thinking more broadly. And then you'll start seeing number

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 13>codes everywhere. That's the cool part of it, is like

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 13>when you know your numbers, when you see the numbers,

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 13>when you get in touch with the energy field, numbers

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 13>and number codes, repeating digits, eleven, eleven, two, two, two, three, three, three, four,

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 13>four four, all that stuff starts showing up and you're like,

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 13>oh my gosh, I know what this means, or oh

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 13>my gosh, I can't well, I was.

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 10>Just looking at this.

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 13>So it's really it's so much fun, but it's expansive,

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 13>and expansiveness this year in twenty twenty four is not

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 13>only part of what will create whatever it is you

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 13>are seeking this year, it's also really important for twenty

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 13>twenty five.

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 12>And then where can people find the guidebook and learn more.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 13>It's solepathology dot com. That's my website. You can also

<v Speaker 13>is right there on the top on the banner, so

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 13>you will find it straight away. And there's also a

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 13>sample of January, so just remember when you get the

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 13>January sample, that's what the month over month guidebook looks like.

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 13>But there's also this massive overview of the energy of

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 13>the eight that comes with the month over month, And

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 13>if you want a bonus, there's an audio companion. A

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 13>lot of people learn more audibly or like to listen

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 13>to things in their car, and the way the audio

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 13>companion is it's really me riffing off of the guidebook

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 13>and the energy, so it's very complementary, and it's broken

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 13>down month over month with insights, anecdotes, personal experiences that

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.800
<v Speaker 13>might bring it into a more tangible, understandable, relatable view

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 13>for you.

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:41.960

<v Speaker 3>Hello, you are still open.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 14>I need to do some grocery shop and I can't

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 14>use a damn basket.

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:20.880
<v Speaker 6>That's my high schooler is trying to get out early.

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 3>I can't use a cart.

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 14>So you put the little whatever lock system that you have,

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 14>so I can't even get a cart.

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I am so pissed, so pissed.

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 6>Hey, you can't carry that crap, so dump one of them.

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 14>So then I got to get one of those little baskets,

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 14>just a little hand baskets. And finally what I started

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 14>doing is I just stacked it. I put it in

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 14>the middle of the store, and I'd walk to get

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 14>my item.

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Dude, you were on one.

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 6>You were absolutely on one.

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 14>Yes, because I just got a clean, clean down the

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 14>front of my freaking leg. I got, uh, that's our ball, babe.

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 14>And now I can't even use a damn cart.

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 6>And you're doing like supermarkets, but with yogurt and milk.

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 14>So I'm walking over here, walking over there. Oh, gotta

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:10.680

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 14>moving place to place getting it. And so I'm just

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 14>setting it, walking setting it. People are walking like what

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 14>tells his basket in the middle of freaking.

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 6>Serras, little pile of groceries, those.

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 14>Little pile of groceries right by the frozen food section,

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 14>right by the frozen pizzas.

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I got my shit just stacked.

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 14>If I'm in that grocery store, I'm and be like, hey, buddy,

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 14>let's get your shit out of my way.

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I was worried.

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 14>I shouldn't have been worried, because, let me be honest, right,

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 14>no damn workers there that I was gonna come back

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 14>and some worker was gonna be like, oh, some idiot

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 14>left their grocery and started putting them back. But luckily

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 14>that didn't damn happen because no one there does their

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 14>damn job. So I go to check out. Ray, there

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:55.120
<v Speaker 14>are eight cash registers. How many of them are open

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 14>for you to check out?

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, four of them are AI, so I don't know.

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 6>I'm guessing i'd at least close to half zero.

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 14>Ray, there's only three self checkouts available. Come on down, okay, cool.

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.199
<v Speaker 14>I'll go to self checkout and at one point I'm like,

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 14>it says, oh, do you need to call attendant?

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, don't worry, Ray, I needed.

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 6>An attendant ten minutes ago.

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.600
<v Speaker 14>No, the attendant has the easiest job in the history

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 14>of jobs.

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's finger banging.

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 14>Or is she sitting there standing up making sure everybody's

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 14>getting checked out? Okay, making sure you're scanning all your items. No, ray,

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 14>She has pulled up a chair against the wall, her

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 14>has her feet up in the chair next to her,

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 14>and she is just face timing the entire time.

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you comfy?

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 6>I was kidding, I need help with my comfy diapers.

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.879
<v Speaker 14>I mean, she didn't look up and ask anybody if

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 14>they need help have a good day. Oh do you

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.719

<v Speaker 14>Oh that was us one dude, one dude, three grocery.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, sorry, hey, it's Mike d And.

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 17>This week on Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, I talked about

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 17>the best movie castings of old time. They recently released

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 17>Who Is Going to Be in the New Fantastic Four movies,

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 17>so I went all the way through movie history talking

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 17>about who I think were the best casting decisions that

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.120
<v Speaker 17>had the biggest impact in movies. I also do spoiler

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 17>free movie reviews, and you may have seen all the

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 17>awful reviews coming out from Adam Webb. I dove fully

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 17>into that movie. So if you need new movie recommendations

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 17>of what to see in theaters or streaming at home,

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 17>make sure you're subscribed to the podcast. But right now,

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 17>here's just a little bit of this week's topic. I

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 17>think this one might be hands down the most important

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 17>movie casting of all time, and it is Robert Downey

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 17>Junior as iron Man. First movie came out back in

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 17>two thousand and eight. Jon Favreau, who directed the movie,

0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 17>saw Robert Downey Junior and Kiss Kiss, Bank Bang and

0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 17>thought his wit, his charm, his depth would be perfect

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 17>for Tony Stark. And this is back when Marvel was

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 17>not what we know it to be now. And this

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 17>was so essential going down the line because at the

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 17>forefront of the MCU, and really the heart of the

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:46.880
<v Speaker 17>entire Infinity saga was Robert Downey Junior as iron Man.

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 17>He threw the entire MCU on his back and carried it.

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 17>If you put iron Man in any of the Marvel movies,

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 17>it would instantly make it a better movie. He proved it,

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 17>and not only that, he got paid and they realized

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 17>that because.

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.160
<v Speaker 3>He made millions and millions of.

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:11.199
<v Speaker 17>Dollars as Tony Stark and Ironman, so much so that

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 17>if the MCU ever gets desperate again and they need

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 17>that money, they're gonna bring him back sooner than we

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 17>want because he is so good at it. And I

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 17>think iron Man is one of the most iconic and

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 17>important characters in modern cinema and has made billions of

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 17>dollars at the box office. And it was also a

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 17>bit of a risk to cast Robert Downey Jr. Who

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 17>had had issues in the past and had gone through

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 17>stuff and was seen as kind of a risky choice

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 17>to base your entire movie studio on this is gonna

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 17>be the guy at the forefront of everything. But it

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:53.359
<v Speaker 17>worked out perfectly. So at the top of my list,

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 17>I'm not going to rank these all in order, but

0:24:55.960 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 17>that is such a big important part of the history

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:04.400
<v Speaker 17>of Marvel for over a decade and has left such

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 17>an impression that without that, Marvel would have been much

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 17>like it had been before, going bankrupt and not being

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 17>able to catch the check. So Robert Downey Junior as

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 17>Ironman one of the best of all time. Along those

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:22.120
<v Speaker 17>same lines, before there was Ironman, there was Wolverine.

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 7>Hugh Jackman is Wolverine.

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 17>Is incredible and I'm going to get into the Deadpool

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 17>Wolverine trailer later. And the crazy thing about this is

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 17>Hugh Jackman actually wasn't the first pick for the role.

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:34.880
<v Speaker 7>Dugray Scott was.

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 17>Initially cast as Wolverine, but he had to drop out

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 17>because he had scheduling conflicts. And then the director saw

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 17>Hugh Jackman's performance in the stage production of Oklahoma and

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 17>saw how charismatic Hugh Jackman was and also just how

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 17>strong he was physically. And that is the other bizarre

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 17>thing about Hugh Jackman is we know him as Wolverine,

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 17>we know him as being able to do action movie,

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 17>but the dude can sing and is so classically trained

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 17>in musicals. I could see nobody else as Wolverine, and

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 17>I feel like he is an actor that just immerses

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.880
<v Speaker 17>himself in a role. When it comes down to the

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.399
<v Speaker 17>hair and the wardrobe and the physical attributes to me,

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 17>he is Wolverine, even though in the comic books Wolverine

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 17>is a much shorter character. Is this really hard headed,

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 17>compact dude. But once he put Hugh Jackman on the

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 17>big screen, it is undeniable. We'll get out of the

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 17>superhero world for a minute. And also on my list,

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 17>I have Chris Tucker as Smoky in Friday, which came

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 17>out back in nineteen ninety seven. The way Chris Tucker

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 17>got this role is the director Gary Gray saw Chris

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 17>Tucker doing stand up and thought, man, I could use

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 17>that guy in my movie because he's very energetic. He's

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 17>so charismatic. I just love listening to Chris Tucker talk

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 17>with all the inflection and emotion in his voice that

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.120
<v Speaker 17>it just makes me laugh. And the reason I feel

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:03.919
<v Speaker 17>like this is one of the best movie castings of

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 17>all time is because whenever a sequel gets brought up,

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 17>everybody wants to know if he's going to come back

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 17>as Smoky. That is the sign of an iconic character

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 17>and an amazing performance. Because they've made a lot of

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 17>sequels to Friday, but Chris Tucker has not returned. And

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 17>when they made that movie, the actors didn't make a

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 17>whole lot of money. It was essentially an indie movie

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 17>that ended up being such a hit that you think

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 17>it's crazy that he probably only got paid maybe a

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 17>few thousand dollars to be Smoky and They also filmed

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 17>that movie so fast that for these actors' lives, it

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 17>was just a little slice of their year, a little

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 17>slice of time that has lasted their entire career. But

0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 17>Chris Tucker is fantastic as Smoky. I've watched that movie

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 17>countless times and he still makes me laugh. One of

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 17>the best movie castings of all time. We'll get out

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:01.959
<v Speaker 17>of the nineties, move all to the two thousands into

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 17>a holiday movie. Will Ferrell has Buddy the Elf in

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 17>Elf in two thousand and three, and the thing about

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.639
<v Speaker 17>this casting that is impressive is that Will Ferrell was

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 17>not at the status that he is now back in

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 17>two thousand and three when he was cast and this

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:21.119
<v Speaker 17>movie came out. Jon Favreau, who directed this movie, another

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 17>name we've heard on this list before as a director.

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 17>He was really just a big fan of Will Ferrell

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 17>from his Saturday Night live performances. So to cast him

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 17>in this movie, much like we've seen historically through this list,

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 17>was also a bit of a risk because he wasn't

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 17>a household name. The studio wanted somebody more recognizable. But

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 17>Jon Favreau, being the amazing director he is, saw the

0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 17>vision that Will Ferrell is Buddy the elf. He has

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 17>the comedic timing, he has the look, he has what

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 17>we need to make this movie work. And he was

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 17>completely correct. So a great move on Jon Favreau's part.

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 17>But also the reason I consider it to be one

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 17>of the best movie castings of all time is because

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 17>it catapulted Will Ferrell's comedic career in movies. So we

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 17>went from having supporting roles in movies like Old School

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 17>to having a slew of starring roles in comedies through

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 17>the two thousands and into the early twenty tens. And

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 17>this was the movie role that made him undeniable in Hollywood.

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 6>Carol, she's a queen of talking a song.

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, she's getting really not afraid to face its episode,

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 3>so just.

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 11>Let it flow.

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 3>No one can do it quite car.

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 10>I got a thousand horses.

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 7>That's it, all of us.

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:06.959
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 18>I got y'all on the podcast when I first started

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 18>the podcast. Oh yeah, we're twenty sixteen, and y'all were

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 18>like my second guest actually, and.

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 7>That was it. That was the turning, defining moment, the moment.

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 10>That was when it took printing money.

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 18>And I've just been begging y'all to come back, and

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 18>you're like, no, no, no, we can't or it is.

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 7>We can't have too much of a great thing. Yeah,

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 7>but this.

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 10>Is just great, guys. I'm glad you have y'all back.

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 10>A lot's gone down in the past. How many years?

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 18>Okay, so we talked, we got together on the podcast

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 18>twenty sixteen hour eight years.

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 7>It was two years ago. Eight years.

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, musicians, not really twenty sixteen. It does feel like

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 19>every I'm always like, oh yeah, that was like two

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 19>years ago.

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 10>So let's like twenty sixteen.

0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 18>That's when like a thousand horses broke onto the scene.

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.080
<v Speaker 10>Y'all were like on a firework, right.

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 7>We were yeah, yeah, rock rocket, rockets, firework.

0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, fireworks.

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 7>There was in retrospect. Maybe it was a little bit

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 7>more fireworks. Yeah.

0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 20>Playing that, you know, you're like, oh boom, yeah yeah,

0:31:16.920 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 20>I feel like, oh wait a minute, but then everybody's.

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 11>A beautiful explosion.

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

0:31:20.760 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 11>It entertains the mat.

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 8>Like you know, when everybody takes pictures of fireworks Fourth

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 8>of July, I thinking you're going to look back on

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 8>you know, but they just say that was kind.

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 20>Of yeah yeah yeah, and then you wake up there's

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 20>just a bunch of trash and you're driving next to ye.

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 10>So y'all really lived the life. Y'all really lived a life.

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 18>Okay, So let's start at the beginning, back in it's

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:43.120
<v Speaker 18>probably nineteen.

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.880
<v Speaker 10>No, it's probably early too. Y'all were born in nineteen

0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 10>eighty seven, right.

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 7>I was eighty eight, eighty eight.

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, okay, so probably right around nineteen ninety nine. Michael

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 18>and Graham you lock eyes in a music store, Bill, and.

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 10>Oh yeah, Michael and Bill, you lack guys.

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 7>Well, ninety nine was a great year for rock. Oh yeah,

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 7>I think. So what was happening Woodstock ninety nine?

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 13>Yeah?

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 11>It No, it was more like two thousand and two,

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 11>I think.

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 10>Okay, So here it is.

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 18>Y'all are Newberry, South Carolina, population ten thousand, not a

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 18>whole lot going on musically, and here y'all find the

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 18>one little music store and you see Bill across a

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 18>crowded room, and what are your thoughts?

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, he was the only kid that was into music

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 8>in town that played guitar that I had seen. So

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 8>it's kind of like a unicorn in the wild.

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 19>You're like you yeah, I mean, it's like I tried

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 19>forever to get all of my friends to like learn

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 19>to play other instruments.

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 10>Like you tried forever, but you were teaming.

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 19>It's like I got my first guitar when I was

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 19>in the seventh grade and started playing, and I was

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 19>like immediately like, oh, we have.

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 11>To start a band.

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 10>And when we were in seventh grade, yeah.

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 11>I was like, that's what you have to do.

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 15>You know.

0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 11>It's like you can't play these instruments alone. That's boring.

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, you know, so we uh I remember, I mean

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 19>I had a group of friends and i'd you know,

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 19>be like, well, you could start on the bongos. Since

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 19>when I had drums, I'll play acoustic guitar and bongos.

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 19>And I was always trying to like scheme up how

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 19>to like, you know, make a band happen, and uh,

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 19>nobody would commit and uh except that's when I met

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 19>Michael and I was like, oh, wow, another guy in

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 19>this town that wants to be a Mandy.

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 18>Well.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, commitment is commitment, and so that what's funny about

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 8>that is I was on the way on the other

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 8>side of town.

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:32.720

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 20>like this is a thing.

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 7>And I think we all kind of knew it.

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:11.399
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:12.399
<v Speaker 7>Graham looked the part.

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:14.920
<v Speaker 10>You still. I mean, Graham, you've peeled this different.

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's all about consistency.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 18>People.

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 20>You need to you know, you find your thing, you know,

0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:24.000
<v Speaker 20>I just happened to find it young.

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 18>Okay, you find your thing to stick with it because

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 18>it it's hard to find the look. But I just

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.800
<v Speaker 18>think it's kind of amazing that here we are now

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:37.320
<v Speaker 18>twenty plus years later and y'all are still a band,

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 18>and y'all have lived one million lifetimes together.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.000
<v Speaker 10>Like we said, y'all been at the top of the

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:43.720
<v Speaker 10>rocket ship.

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:48.240
<v Speaker 18>You've crashed and burned, you've built back up, You've had

0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 18>literally like fantasies come true of rock and roll fantasies.

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 18>It's like you your childhood dreams have come true, and

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 18>y'all stayed together for all this time.

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 10>People just don't stick it out like this. How do

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 10>you stay? How have y'all stayed together for twenty years?

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 10>Ty plus?

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 7>That's a great question. Yeah, it is a great question.

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.439
<v Speaker 18>How have y'all not want to be like, I'm out,

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.240
<v Speaker 18>this is exhausting, I need off the ride?

0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 10>Well, have you ever had those feelings?

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:22.359
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think everybody's had those feelings this morning, every day.

0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:24.359
<v Speaker 10>Actually, why am I doing this?

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 18>Well?

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:29.040
<v Speaker 19>The truth is is that it's been mostly fun. Really,

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 19>you know, it's been mostly fun and great and you

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 19>know the heartbreak what's up? Even the heartbreak?

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.359
<v Speaker 11>Well well yeah, but I mean that's just part of life.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 11>I mean, it happens.

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 19>You're gonna, I think you're gonna go through ups and

0:37:40.680 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 19>downs in anything you do. And you know, all work

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 19>is hard and everything that you dedicate yourself to is

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:51.280
<v Speaker 19>gonna be hard. So if you're enjoying what you you know, chose,

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 19>you know, then great, because you know, we you could

0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 19>be suffering in a job that you totally hate, you know,

0:37:58.160 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 19>so at the end of the day, I mean, it's

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 19>like I tell it's like I'm grateful that you know

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:03.840
<v Speaker 19>that young, we knew what we wanted to do with

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:07.959
<v Speaker 19>our lives, right, you know. And and of course it's hard

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 19>and crazy and that's what everybody said. And it's been

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 19>like good and bad and whatever, but so is anything,

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 19>so you know, and it's like, I don't know. We've

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:18.840
<v Speaker 19>had kind of an interesting path as a band because

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 19>we moved here as kids into Nashville, and because the

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 19>goal was like I don't want to go to college.

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 19>I just got out of my small town, you know.

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 19>Our goal then was just like to break away from like,

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 19>you know, living in our parents' houses. We just like

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 19>wanted freedom and like to just rebel and run. And

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:38.279
<v Speaker 19>I was like, I'll just get a job waiting table.

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:39.759
<v Speaker 19>I just want to pay rent and be someone where

0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 19>there's music and just go nuts. I can't fathom like

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.760
<v Speaker 19>sitting back down in a classroom and going to college

0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 19>and falling in line and doing the whole thing again.

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 19>And so that was goal one, was just to get

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:52.839
<v Speaker 19>out and get free, you know.

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 10>Get out and get free.

0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:57.399
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, and it's fast. Oh and we did it.

0:38:57.600 --> 0:39:02.440
<v Speaker 19>You know there we are for something, and it was

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:05.399
<v Speaker 19>like there's been all these little things along the way

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:08.879
<v Speaker 19>that do you know, Like every time I've been like, well,

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:10.880
<v Speaker 19>maybe a sem to quit, it's like God pulls us

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 19>back in and it's like, Okay, that's what I guess.

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 19>This is what we're supposed to be doing, you know,

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.719
<v Speaker 19>because we got our first record deal at.

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:18.439
<v Speaker 18>Twenty Okay, let's kind of talk about the first record

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 18>deal though, because this was exciting.

0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 20>a hotel on the Sunset Strip and I'm like this

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 20>is kind of like you know, yeah, yeah, the hotel

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:35.840
<v Speaker 20>where it was the Grafton, the Grafton, but it was

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 20>like across the street from the Riot House, which is

0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:39.919
<v Speaker 20>like a famous rock and roll hotel in Hollywood where

0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 20>Zeppelin stayed, and like that, we were right there in

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:46.319
<v Speaker 20>the in the thick of what we read about and

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:47.120
<v Speaker 20>loved growing up.

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.680
<v Speaker 7>N Oh yeah, without a doubt.

0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 19>Yeah, it was like rock and roll fantasy camp, and

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.760
<v Speaker 19>you know, it's a very romantic time y'all lived.

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:56.400
<v Speaker 18>Out there for like a month, right making your album

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 18>with Dave Cobb before Dave Cobb was Dave Cobb.

0:40:58.719 --> 0:40:59.799
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, we met Dave.

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:03.520
<v Speaker 8>Dave was there the night in town when we got

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 8>signed to Interscope by by jeff'saz now we did. We

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:12.240
<v Speaker 8>met Jeff through Brian House in Desmond Child and Jeff

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 8>we went to his hotel room at the Hermitage Hotel

0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:19.800
<v Speaker 8>and it was still probably like top like most awkward

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:21.960
<v Speaker 8>showcases you could ever.

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 10>Do a bathroom Well.

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:28.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, no, no, he wasn't in a bathroom.

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.680
<v Speaker 10>He was like a tiny bathroom.

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 8>We carry our guitars upstairs and we walk into a

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:38.400
<v Speaker 8>hotel room and Jeff's like, we'll help yourself to the

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 8>mini bar, and we're all nervous. But all there was

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.319
<v Speaker 8>there I remember, all there was was like scotch, which

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 8>none of I forgot about that I took a little scotch.

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 8>But Jeff was like okay, and he just sits in

0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 8>the middle of his king sized bed and he just says,

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:56.279
<v Speaker 8>play me some songs, and we're like okay, and we

0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 8>play a few songs acoustic and he goes, well, can

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 8>you play for me electric tomorrow night at si R

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 8>rehearsal here and we're like, well, hell yeah, we can.

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:07.959
<v Speaker 7>We do whatever you want.

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:10.680
<v Speaker 8>He said, okay, great, I'll send you the details and

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:13.240
<v Speaker 8>we go into si R. The next night, he shows

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 8>up with Dave Cobb and we play one song and

0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:20.800
<v Speaker 8>he walks straight up to the front of the stage

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:24.080
<v Speaker 8>and says, congratulations, you're on Interscope Records.

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 10>Did y'all die? I mean, this is really what you

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:27.200
<v Speaker 10>had dreamed of?

<v Speaker 19>you now?

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.320
<v Speaker 10>And said, what is it like though that moment?

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:38.320
<v Speaker 18>Because like I like to, I like to like zero

0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:40.759
<v Speaker 18>in on little moments, you know, It's like, what is

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 18>it like in that moment, not what happens after, because

0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 18>what happens after is a whole confetti of you know, experiences,

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:52.160
<v Speaker 18>but like the moment that your dream is like happening,

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:54.759

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 7>So that was two thousand and nine.

0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 10>I think what.

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 18>Goes through your brains at twenty one years old, twenty

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:08.200
<v Speaker 18>years old, nineteen years old.

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:09.759

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:16.319
<v Speaker 8>A bunch of but no, it was it was like

0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:17.720

<v Speaker 3>It did.

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 7>It was everybody.

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:20.479

0:43:21.160 --> 0:43:23.319

0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 19>like he said that, and it was like.

0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 8>You know, we were like what, yeah, everything quiet, emotion

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 8>second and then he said keep playing please, and we

0:43:31.400 --> 0:43:33.320
<v Speaker 8>probably played ten songs.

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:36.359
<v Speaker 11>I don't know. I blacked out after that.

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:40.520
