Speaker 1: Finally we made it. It seems like things are kind
Speaker 1: of the same, so it wasn't like a magic wand
Speaker 1: that was waived once the balls dropped. Sorry the ball
Speaker 1: dropped in Times Square and it was like, all right,
Speaker 1: everything's back to normally. Now we're still kind of in it.
Speaker 1: So it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine, guys,
Speaker 1: it's don't worry about it. Should we do it? Roll it?
Speaker 1: This is the Wells Cast with Wells Atoms and I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio podcast. Okay, Wells Cast first episode. Sad about
Speaker 1: today's episode. You know, the whole idea of this show
Speaker 1: is origin stories and like the things that people had
Speaker 1: to do to get to the places that they are today,
Speaker 1: the turmoil that they had to endure. The one thing
Speaker 1: I always come back to after having these conversations with
Speaker 1: these extremely successful people is their work ethic. There is
Speaker 1: no substitute for hard work. There really isn't. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I've met anybody who just was successful because
Speaker 1: they were lucky. I think we all want to think
Speaker 1: that's the truth, but it's just not. And sometimes you
Speaker 1: can start out super successful and then things kind of
Speaker 1: fall off, and then you have to kind of jump
Speaker 1: back on hustle, hustle, hustle and bring yourself back up
Speaker 1: to it, which is the case of our guests today.
Speaker 1: And they were on a TV show when they were
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, their manager as a kid was Lou Perlman,
Speaker 1: the guy who created the Backstreet Boys, and Aaron Carter
Speaker 1: and many others. Yeah, they were on a bunch of
Speaker 1: hit reality TV shows. Yeah they had a number one single,
Speaker 1: But in this industry, it's feast for famine. And what
Speaker 1: I love about this episode today is our guests could
Speaker 1: be so entitled from who their father is, all the
Speaker 1: work they've done, it's kind of rested on their laurels.
Speaker 1: That's not what happened. This one buckled down, reinvented herself
Speaker 1: and in the meantime didn't ask for a damn thing
Speaker 1: from her famous but waited tables inside, burn the candle
Speaker 1: at both ends, and it's back on the come up.
Speaker 1: This is a really inspiring story And for those of
Speaker 1: you out there who are hustling like crazy, this episode
Speaker 1: will remind you that, dude, we've all been there before.
Speaker 1: Star of Hogan knows best, the Star of Brooke knows best,
Speaker 1: The Daughter of Thunder lips himself. That's right. Today on
Speaker 1: the Welles Cast, it's Brooke Hogan. This is one episode
Speaker 1: do you are not going to want to miss? Al
Speaker 1: right back in the Wells Cast. Very excited to have
Speaker 1: someone who I've watched for a very long time on
Speaker 1: reality TV, the one, the only Brooke Hogan. How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good listen. So you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff going on. You're like the only person in
Speaker 1: show biz it's working right now. So congratulations on that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know a few people that are.
Speaker 1: But it's definitely been hard with this COVID thing. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: it's just hard to make a human connection. It's hard
Speaker 1: to see people play music, you know, meet up with people.
Speaker 1: It's it's a completely different world that we live in now. Well,
Speaker 1: congratulations on your new country single Love People, which is
Speaker 1: out now. I was listening to it on Spotify and
Speaker 1: I gotta say I love the sound, but it is
Speaker 1: a departure from what I know you as God. Back
Speaker 1: when I was with Lou Pearlman down in Orlando, Florida,
Speaker 1: the boy band Mogul. He actually had me doing guitar
Speaker 1: driven music back then, but nobody ever got to hear
Speaker 1: that music because he got caught for money laundering and
Speaker 1: everything got seized and auctioned off and that was the
Speaker 1: end of that. And then I was just doing some
Speaker 1: some pop stuff with Larry Rudolph, Britty Spears manager, and
Speaker 1: I did like a one off show at Mansion in Miami,
Speaker 1: and Scott Storge just happened to be there and he
Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna make you our flagship artists. We
Speaker 1: want to sign you. So I was like, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: because I could dance and you know, do the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Because obviously I came from the boy and camp where
Speaker 1: they groom you to be a pop sensation, and and
Speaker 1: because I had a little bit of soul and I
Speaker 1: was raised on you know, Teddy Pendergrass and Luther the
Speaker 1: Van Drives and stuff. He was like, we're going to
Speaker 1: make you an R and B like white Girl, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like a white Sierra. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: that sounds fun, but you know, you're eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm down with that um And it went well.
Speaker 1: I mean, we did, we did great, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard because I think people box you
Speaker 1: into one thing, and you don't realize when you're a songwriter.
Speaker 1: It's like if somebody said, write a song that sounds
Speaker 1: like Justin Bieber right now, great, write a song for
Speaker 1: a girl band, you know, for Disney. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like you can kind of mold yourself into anything you
Speaker 1: really need to be. But I think I'm kind of
Speaker 1: returning back to where my my passion is and where
Speaker 1: I feel more comfortable. Can we play a little bit
Speaker 1: of this love People single? Sure? Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: do it. We do? What do people have to love? People?
Speaker 1: Even people making promises and that to keep them is
Speaker 1: a they they would pay. Wouldn't it be away? Safe?
Speaker 1: It's strangers? Just say it's stranger. I can never break
Speaker 1: if you don't give it away. Why do people have
Speaker 1: to love? Thankfully? I think of all the real love
Speaker 1: the radio. I feel like this is ah I guess
Speaker 1: appropriate song for the times we're living in right now?
Speaker 1: Hell curiously right. It's so funny because we recorded this
Speaker 1: song and we were like, man, it really fits with
Speaker 1: this whole you know, pandemic and everything that we're going through.
Speaker 1: And then this bomb hit Nashville and it makes even
Speaker 1: more sense now it's just kind of like I was
Speaker 1: talking to my friends, I'm like, people want so badly
Speaker 1: to be connected, and they want to be in love,
Speaker 1: and they want to love each other, and they want
Speaker 1: to feel like they're part of a community. But then
Speaker 1: we self sabotage. We've got these people that are destroying
Speaker 1: our community and not coming together and doing the opposite.
Speaker 1: I'm like, can we please just raise the consciousness and
Speaker 1: stop being crazy people? And just why can't we all
Speaker 1: just get along? You know? So, um, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm proud of my city. I mean, if one if
Speaker 1: there's one thing Nashville knows how to do, is they
Speaker 1: know how to come together and and be strong together.
Speaker 1: So it's just super unfortunate, you know. And it's like
Speaker 1: it feels like the world is ending. I'm sure a
Speaker 1: lot of people feel like that. It's like people are
Speaker 1: starting to get cabin fever. They're like, when is this
Speaker 1: going to end? When are we going to have a
Speaker 1: cure of vaccine? And this is that's that we can
Speaker 1: get back to our normal lives. It's just start to
Speaker 1: drive people in saying, tell me about the songwriting process
Speaker 1: for this. I mean, you're now living in Nashville, which
Speaker 1: is the mecca of music row and songwriting. So was
Speaker 1: this different than some of the other music that you
Speaker 1: put out just in terms of like logistics of creating it? Well, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: actually it really it's very different as far as creating
Speaker 1: it because being in Nashville, I write everything, and this
Speaker 1: was a song that we actually stumbled upon and gave
Speaker 1: us goose bumps. So I had no hand in writing it.
Speaker 1: But when I heard it, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I have to record that song. It's amazing. And I
Speaker 1: was lucky enough to be able to get my hands
Speaker 1: on it, and some of our great friends and songwriters
Speaker 1: in Nashville wrote it, so it was already felt It
Speaker 1: already felt like a personal thing because we knew the
Speaker 1: people that wrote it. But I do try to write
Speaker 1: most of my stuff, but sometimes if you just stumble
Speaker 1: upon a great song, it's a great song. There's nothing
Speaker 1: you can do about it, so except sing it. That's
Speaker 1: one of the things I kind of love and hate
Speaker 1: about Nashville. One. A lot of the songs that come
Speaker 1: out of Nashville are not very personal to the artist
Speaker 1: because they didn't actually write it. But that's also kind
Speaker 1: of goes with pop music. But then what I love
Speaker 1: about it is it's this industry that pumps out so
Speaker 1: much money for so many people because a lot of
Speaker 1: people have hands in writing this, and then it becomes
Speaker 1: like a very communal aspect yet feeding a lot of families.
Speaker 1: But then you have like those kind of bluebird writers
Speaker 1: in the round thing where you get to like hear
Speaker 1: the background stories and stuff like that. Yeah, it definitely
Speaker 1: it's a place where your dream can come true even
Speaker 1: if it doesn't come to full fruition, Like you can
Speaker 1: still do your passion. You can still do what you
Speaker 1: love even if you never make it on the big
Speaker 1: stage age. You can at least make a living doing
Speaker 1: what you love, which is so great about Nashville. So
Speaker 1: there is no city like Nashville, that's for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you say that, it reminds me of this quote
Speaker 1: that I heard Bill Murray say one time, where he says,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to be rich and famous, just try to
Speaker 1: be rich first and see if that's enough, which is
Speaker 1: very very true. I think a lot of songwriters are like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be on tour
Speaker 1: forty eight weeks out of the year and have to
Speaker 1: like sign autographs and stuff. I want to get some
Speaker 1: mailbox money and chill in my house and Belle mead,
Speaker 1: It's true. One of my really good friends, Jen Denmark,
Speaker 1: is a songwriter for HERB and she's like one of
Speaker 1: their top songwriters and she's so successful and has done
Speaker 1: so well in songwriting and she gets to enjoy her privacy.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm so jealous. You didn't have to
Speaker 1: like go like hold yourself out. But I always always
Speaker 1: said I never did it for the fame. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of a little bit more of an introvert. I don't
Speaker 1: like being around a ton of people. I love being home.
Speaker 1: I'm a homebody. Um. I feel silly doing selfies and
Speaker 1: videoing myself even though that is the way of the world.
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh my gosh, I have to keep
Speaker 1: up with these kids, and I feel us and narcissistic.
Speaker 1: I hate this, um, But yeah, it is a completely
Speaker 1: different world. You have to stay on the TikTok and
Speaker 1: the trailer and this and that, and I'm like, there
Speaker 1: are too many social media platforms. I just need to
Speaker 1: post to one every couple of weeks and that would
Speaker 1: be good for me. But so yeah, you know, but
Speaker 1: it is cool the one thing I have found, even
Speaker 1: the fame definitely has I feel, probably more downsides than upsides.
Speaker 1: One of the upsides is if you do have your
Speaker 1: head on your shoulders, if you are not a jerk,
Speaker 1: and you use your fame for good, to influence people
Speaker 1: in the right ways and to try to help people,
Speaker 1: then it makes it fulfilling on that aspect of it.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and also you're not you know, I come
Speaker 1: from the Bachelor world, where so many people go into
Speaker 1: that I think mainly to get big Instagram follows and
Speaker 1: sell kind of bo on Instagram, which no judgment to
Speaker 1: anything that does that. I do that. But you were
Speaker 1: thrust into it at a young age where it like,
Speaker 1: wasn't your prerogative really was like I would assumes your
Speaker 1: pops prerogative to start this show and make little lecture
Speaker 1: cash and you were kind of pans prerogative because the
Speaker 1: Osborne's were on TV and he said, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: the new way of the world is reality TV. We
Speaker 1: have to get Brooke a reality show and it will
Speaker 1: help her music. So we actually did the reality show
Speaker 1: to help the music, which it absolutely did. It gives
Speaker 1: you so much exposure. It's like free advertising for it,
Speaker 1: well not free, but you know, advertising for thirty minutes
Speaker 1: every time in episode airs. It's like, you know, people
Speaker 1: have to pay millions of dollars for that kind of
Speaker 1: time slot if it's a commercial. So and we were
Speaker 1: just kind of pioneers in it because the Osborne's had
Speaker 1: done it and they were a little bit dirtier and
Speaker 1: they were cursing and just kind of like fly on
Speaker 1: the wall, like seeing how raunchy they were, and it
Speaker 1: was hilarious. But we decided to go down the path
Speaker 1: of our basis was that old show Father Knows Best,
Speaker 1: where there's like a moral at the end of the
Speaker 1: story and this and that, and it kind of fit
Speaker 1: the narrative of you know, we're a family unit. You know,
Speaker 1: you expect Hulk going to be this big, screaming guy
Speaker 1: like you see in the ring, and really he's this tender,
Speaker 1: cries at the lion king kind of guy. And I
Speaker 1: was doing my music and Nick was doing his stuff.
Speaker 1: So but at the end of our show, it was
Speaker 1: always a moral at the end of the story, so
Speaker 1: we tried to make it positive. So, I mean, after
Speaker 1: Hogan Knows Best, you did Brooke Knows Best that ran
Speaker 1: for like six years, which well done on that, and
Speaker 1: then now I heard there's a new one coming out soon.
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of different people wanting to I
Speaker 1: guess the new fad And it's so funny because I
Speaker 1: just did an interview for kt l A. They were like,
Speaker 1: it's this new fad of like re upping old brands,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, who you calling old? But it has
Speaker 1: been about ten years since since Brooke Knows Best, um,
Speaker 1: and I would absolutely love to do that again. Um.
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's been a couple of people approaching. UM.
Speaker 1: We were actually pretty close on one deal, but Covid
Speaker 1: has just really kind of stolen the thunder. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to do that. There's so many, you know,
Speaker 1: new things going on with my life too. I mean
Speaker 1: I'm in Nashville and doing the songwriting and trying to
Speaker 1: find a husband. I swear I feel like the right
Speaker 1: show would be going on The Bachelorette. Well, I know,
Speaker 1: I know all those producers. If you want to get
Speaker 1: on that, I can get you on that immediately. I
Speaker 1: want the simple things in life. I want to you know,
Speaker 1: picket fence in the family, and the whole thing, you know,
Speaker 1: because like when you come from such a crazy life
Speaker 1: and such a crazy background, it's like you really actually
Speaker 1: value family and your privacy and stuff like that. So
Speaker 1: it's just so hard to find in general, people dating
Speaker 1: in general have a hard time finding people, let alone
Speaker 1: being whole Coogan's daughter and you know, having your own
Speaker 1: career and then having your dad's career kind of there
Speaker 1: in the background. It's like, well, what do you want
Speaker 1: from me? I assume it's got to be tough to
Speaker 1: date you, Like, okay, it's like post show you're dating whoever.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for my sisters. My dad wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: a professional wrestler who was like known of like just
Speaker 1: beating the crap out of people. Was it so scary
Speaker 1: for you to introduce guys to him? And then also like,
Speaker 1: were those guys just so terrified to come and meet
Speaker 1: your dad? You get like two sets of guys. You
Speaker 1: get guys that are like, oh, I'm a big boy,
Speaker 1: I can handle myself, and they come in coffee, and
Speaker 1: then you get the ones that are really scared and
Speaker 1: they can't hold their own and you're just like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, um, now it's more like my dad is
Speaker 1: more protective of me and the music because he knows
Speaker 1: that we're onto something good with this music and the
Speaker 1: other stuff that we have is just oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Like we were having a hard time picking which song
Speaker 1: to come out with, and Love People made sense with
Speaker 1: the time that we're in, um, but the other music
Speaker 1: that we have is just equally as good. It's just
Speaker 1: also awesome. And and he's like, don't let any boy
Speaker 1: distract you. I'm like, Tad, I'm thirty two years old.
Speaker 1: Like you met Jen, the lady he's married to right now.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you met her when she was my age,
Speaker 1: Like it's time, you know, so, But you know, God
Speaker 1: has his own plan, so I'm just going with the flow.
Speaker 1: I do love Love People. It's a single that came
Speaker 1: out what in October? Came out in October, I think
Speaker 1: towards the end of October something like that. And uh,
Speaker 1: like I said, COVID kind of slow stuff down. We're
Speaker 1: hitting it hard with radio team and everything January one,
Speaker 1: So that's exciting. What's following is there an EP and
Speaker 1: LP is there's an EP? And I argue with my
Speaker 1: best friend and music manager Drew all the time on
Speaker 1: what's going to be the next single. There's one called
Speaker 1: Boomerang that he's like, you need to perform this at WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: It's such a badass song, like you just have to
Speaker 1: like come out and just kill it um. And then
Speaker 1: my dad's got a favorite called Don't Know It Yet,
Speaker 1: which is like a very motown love song. He kind
Speaker 1: of he's a hopeless romantic, so he loves that song.
Speaker 1: And then other people love this one that me and
Speaker 1: Jen Denmark wrote together called boys Trip, which is like
Speaker 1: a total play on words like and you think it
Speaker 1: would be like, oh, boys trip, like beerers and golfing
Speaker 1: and stuff, and it's more like boys trip when they
Speaker 1: think that I've been getting a little bit bit of
Speaker 1: too much attention, or when they don't like the kind
Speaker 1: of looks that I'm getting, like stuff like that. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like insecure men. So there's this plethora of
Speaker 1: music that we're like, we can't really decide what to
Speaker 1: go with for the next single. So I have a
Speaker 1: feeling it's going to be somewhere between Boomerang and Boys Trip.
Speaker 1: Maybe not sure. I was a music director of program
Speaker 1: director for many years, so if you want to send
Speaker 1: me over some of the demos. I like the idea.
Speaker 1: I like that idea. I'm actually going to have to
Speaker 1: get your number and put you and Drew on a
Speaker 1: because Drew loves that. He loves like asking pds for
Speaker 1: their opinion and which one they would put out next.
Speaker 1: So we will definitely send you the songs and let
Speaker 1: you give us your opinion. I would love that. Actually,
Speaker 1: So is is Brooke knows Nashville? Like just in pause?
Speaker 1: Like I I read about that there's this reality show
Speaker 1: that you're going to be filming out in Nashville. So
Speaker 1: is it just on positive cod cod covid has put
Speaker 1: it on pause. There's so many different rules with the
Speaker 1: city about how many people can be in a room
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So it's like try having a thirty
Speaker 1: person camera crew in a twelve by ten room. Not happening.
Speaker 1: So we're trying to figure out how we can make
Speaker 1: this happen. I mean, we're gonna have to get creative.
Speaker 1: So quit break and we come back. We are going
Speaker 1: to did anyone tell you the basis of this podcast? Um?
Speaker 1: They said that you talk about where people are, like background,
Speaker 1: where people are, okay, cool origin stories. When we come back.
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out where the hell Brooke Hogan came
Speaker 1: from and how the hell she got here? Stick around.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool, actually, all right back in the Welles cast.
Speaker 1: I have Brooke Hogan on this show today. This show
Speaker 1: is an origin story show, and I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of people saw your origin story in real time,
Speaker 1: like you grew up in front of a lot of families.
Speaker 1: But I want to go back before Hogan knows best
Speaker 1: where were you born? You know what I think? First
Speaker 1: of all, before we can get into that, I think
Speaker 1: that that's very clever because anytime you do an interview
Speaker 1: right as a celebrity or somebody that's, you know, have
Speaker 1: a little bit of fame, people kind of don't really
Speaker 1: ask you that. They say, oh, what was it like
Speaker 1: growing up on reality TV? Or how to be cool?
Speaker 1: Having a datas how Hogan. They never actually asked what
Speaker 1: was your experience? Like you know? So I think that's
Speaker 1: pretty that's pretty interesting because I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that you're gonna find out that a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't know. Everyone kind of knows about the
Speaker 1: person when they got the blue check, but no one
Speaker 1: knows how the hell and how hard. They had to
Speaker 1: work to get to that point, you know, being you
Speaker 1: know me grow up on reality TV. I mean you
Speaker 1: got to see a twenty three minute episode of something
Speaker 1: that was cut to be entertaining. Yeah, it's like we're
Speaker 1: really seeing like the day to day and stuff. So
Speaker 1: um but origin I was born ten pounds eleven ounces,
Speaker 1: huge baby yeah, at camp In General Hospital on May five,
Speaker 1: Sinco de Mayo. I have the best birthday ever because
Speaker 1: it's always chips and margaritas at I believe eight o
Speaker 1: five at night? How many have I have one brother,
Speaker 1: he was born at eight o five in the morning actually,
Speaker 1: which is so funny, but he was July. Are you
Speaker 1: big on like time that you were born having an
Speaker 1: effect on the person that you are. I definitely believe
Speaker 1: in horoscopes to an extent, like astrology and stuff. I
Speaker 1: do think it is kind of funny how a lot
Speaker 1: of it does nail certain things on the head and
Speaker 1: people that don't believe in it when you read or traits,
Speaker 1: they're like, hm, I guess that's kind of like me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, see told you it's real. Okay, So you
Speaker 1: were born in Florida. How long are you there for?
Speaker 1: Grew up Clearwater Beach whole life. I think the first
Speaker 1: time I actually moved away was to film the Miami
Speaker 1: section of Hogan Knows Best. So we had a second
Speaker 1: house in l A because my mom's family was from there,
Speaker 1: so we go visit, But it wasn't ever are like
Speaker 1: primary place that we lived because we went to school here.
Speaker 1: So I went to a private Catholic school right down
Speaker 1: the road called St. Cecilia's that was extremely tough. I
Speaker 1: did not like school. I was terrible in American history
Speaker 1: and geography and anything having to do with the United
Speaker 1: States geographics, capitals and cities and things like that, and
Speaker 1: then remembering like Whyene and Christopher Columbus like sailed the
Speaker 1: ocean blue. I still didn't tell you so, but I
Speaker 1: can tell you the how you know atoms and cells
Speaker 1: and math. Things I'm good with, like math and science.
Speaker 1: So that was my thing. Were you always into entertaining?
Speaker 1: Like how did the whole like singing income about? So?
Speaker 1: On my mom's side of the family and on my dad's,
Speaker 1: I guess there was music in both. My dad was
Speaker 1: a studio musician and played bass for a lot of
Speaker 1: actually like famous songs that are on the radio now,
Speaker 1: like he put on the x M, you know rock station.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, that's me playing bass. I was like
Speaker 1: that pertinent information you left out, Like that's pretty awesome. Um.
Speaker 1: But he's a killer bass player. He played frontless bass.
Speaker 1: He was in a band back before he did wrestling,
Speaker 1: which is so funny. He did the band to afford
Speaker 1: his passion, which was wrestling, and I've done other things
Speaker 1: to afford my passion, which is music, So it's kind
Speaker 1: of like backwards. He had a musical background, but my
Speaker 1: mom's side of the family actually was all piano and guitar.
Speaker 1: So I grew up playing piano since I was five,
Speaker 1: and piano lessons every day after school, and I hated
Speaker 1: it and I could not read notes, still can't to
Speaker 1: this day. So I figured out a trick that I
Speaker 1: would tell the piano teacher her name was Mary Francis,
Speaker 1: God rest her soul. I think she's dead now. She
Speaker 1: I would say, can you just play it for me
Speaker 1: so I can hear what it's gonna say down like,
Speaker 1: and I would literally have a photographic memory and watch
Speaker 1: her fingers and lock it in and then pretend like
Speaker 1: I was reading the notes, but play it back, but
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I was looking at. Can
Speaker 1: you still do that? Yeah? So now I can just
Speaker 1: listen to something and play it back. But I think
Speaker 1: it's probably better than reading notes, because then if somebody
Speaker 1: plays me a song or if I picture something in
Speaker 1: my head, I can just put it down. Wow, that's insane.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had your dad play on any of
Speaker 1: your stuff? Oh? I wish. I've asked him all the time,
Speaker 1: and he's like one of those people like, oh yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm done with that side of my life now, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, daddy daughter bonding. Come on, give me something
Speaker 1: that I can like have one thing, like just crazy.
Speaker 1: You know. He's got all of his memorabilia and his thunderlifts,
Speaker 1: you know, ka hanging up in his beach shop in
Speaker 1: this that. I'm like, these need to be behind glass
Speaker 1: doors with locks on them. What's happening? You know? Um?
Speaker 1: I always told him, I'm like, we need to figure
Speaker 1: out how to store all this stuff. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: am never the type that would ever sell any of
Speaker 1: his stuff. I would keep it for my kids. I
Speaker 1: would hold onto it until the day I die because
Speaker 1: I'm a very mental person. But you know, it's like
Speaker 1: when somebody when it's like if it was not that
Speaker 1: anybody wants my clothing. Well, people with fetishes want my
Speaker 1: shoes and my underwear, which is gross. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't mean anything to him. A T
Speaker 1: shirt that he wore has no meaning to him. But
Speaker 1: he doesn't realize, like my dad, like change the world,
Speaker 1: Like I want like the shirt that you ripped, Like
Speaker 1: I want to have those things, like to remember the
Speaker 1: greatness of you, and like as your daughter, I want
Speaker 1: to keep those little keepsakes. But he doesn't care. So
Speaker 1: it's like I'm done playing bass. I'm like, I literally
Speaker 1: do music. It would matter so much to me if
Speaker 1: I can play bass songs. Well maybe one day you'll
Speaker 1: get him to do it. I have to bat my eyelashes, please, Gad,
Speaker 1: so really help get some radio play Dad. So I
Speaker 1: try to ask him. I really try not to ask
Speaker 1: him for anything. I really, uh, I'm not one that
Speaker 1: ever wanted to take his money or take you know,
Speaker 1: have him do free promotion or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: mean back in Miami, my label would be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you promote this for Brooke? And I would always
Speaker 1: feel like so weird because I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 1: my dad being like, hey, everybody go look at Brooks stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like, I want to do it on my own.
Speaker 1: I'm a Taurus. I'm stubborn. I was reading that by
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen, that's when you sign with Lou Perlman, Right,
Speaker 1: how does that even come about? Um? Well, actually, to
Speaker 1: go back to something that you said before, my dream
Speaker 1: when I was younger was to be a marine biologusts.
Speaker 1: I wanted to work with dolphins and do all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And then I really started, um, kind
Speaker 1: of enjoying playing piano, and my mom could sing, so
Speaker 1: she would kind of like sing with me, and then
Speaker 1: it just became a thing where I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like I have something to say to the
Speaker 1: world and a gift to bring to the world, so
Speaker 1: maybe I should pursue that. So, um, we were in Tampa.
Speaker 1: We were like an hour outside of Orlando. So my
Speaker 1: dad was like, let me just see if I could
Speaker 1: make a couple of calls total nepotism. He called Lou
Speaker 1: and got ahold of them and said, hey, we with
Speaker 1: my daughter saying this is where nepotism. I always tell
Speaker 1: people like you can have somebody open the doors, but
Speaker 1: if you can't walked through them, it doesn't matter, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's like, great that I got the opportunity. But
Speaker 1: you know, if if I sucked like I did, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you get the door slammed in your face.
Speaker 1: So the first time I went to Lose office on
Speaker 1: sand Lake Road, Um, he stood maybe six inches in
Speaker 1: front of my face and said saying and I was
Speaker 1: like so nervous. I was like, amazing games, and he's like,
Speaker 1: you need more work. Go back and you know, do
Speaker 1: voice lessons for a year, and go back and do
Speaker 1: this and that and then come back to me. So
Speaker 1: a year later I came back and did a showcase
Speaker 1: for him and blew his thoughts up um, and he
Speaker 1: signed me. He signed me there when we finally had
Speaker 1: that showcase, and I kind of brushed up on my stuff.
Speaker 1: What is that dude like? Because he creates Backstreet boys
Speaker 1: in sync and O Town got experience with him. I
Speaker 1: loved him. He was like a teddy bear to me.
Speaker 1: You know, I just I guess when you're a kid,
Speaker 1: you just don't realize that you know, adults are doing
Speaker 1: bad things, you know. But he was always very sweet
Speaker 1: to me and really really kind to me, and I
Speaker 1: mean just gave me such a great experience to look
Speaker 1: back on in life. Like just god, it was just
Speaker 1: so fun. It was like a magical compound that you
Speaker 1: could go to, Like he had one room you could
Speaker 1: do your vocal lessons, and then you moved to band practice,
Speaker 1: and then you moved to dance classes and you would
Speaker 1: literally just spend all day grooming yourself at this location.
Speaker 1: And it was just so fun because you were just
Speaker 1: around other kids your age, Oh Town Backstreet Boys and
Speaker 1: sining Aaron Carter. Everybody's walking through the hallways. You know.
Speaker 1: Aaron helped me translate one of my songs to Spanish
Speaker 1: and was in the studio helping me sing my Spanish
Speaker 1: version of our first single, and just it was just
Speaker 1: a really cool mixture of people and and talent and
Speaker 1: songwriters and producers. It was just, like I said, magical.
Speaker 1: I will never forget that time in my life. If
Speaker 1: I could go back to it, I would. It kind
Speaker 1: of sounds like famous Kids Camp, Yeah, like here's how
Speaker 1: to become a baby tiny musical ideas for Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: singing and dancing and signed the biggest music manager on
Speaker 1: Earth at that point. How long between that and getting
Speaker 1: to v H one. So Lou said, we need to
Speaker 1: get a reality show for Brooke. We need to get
Speaker 1: a reality show to help Brooks music. You know, let's
Speaker 1: make a couple of calls. I guess he got in
Speaker 1: touch with v H one and they said, well, let's
Speaker 1: do a special that we have called inside Out. And
Speaker 1: it was like where they would take celebrities and kind
Speaker 1: of document the inside view of their life. And we
Speaker 1: did inside Out Hulk Hogan Stage Dad, which was like
Speaker 1: this new view of him. You think he's this tough wrestler,
Speaker 1: but really he is helping his daughter drive to the
Speaker 1: studio and zipping my costume up and trying to make
Speaker 1: sure that my in ears are in right and pass
Speaker 1: me tea while I'm singing. You know. It was very
Speaker 1: cute and it ended up being um, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: The choreographer who was also on Brooklyn was best Len.
Speaker 1: I met Glen through lou Is calling me right now,
Speaker 1: his ears must be ringing. It was like this. I
Speaker 1: think it was the highest rated segment on that show.
Speaker 1: So VH once that let's do a reality show. So
Speaker 1: it actually was just one special that we were doing
Speaker 1: to try to promote the single. It was called Everything
Speaker 1: to Me. Um, if you google it, there's a music
Speaker 1: video and everything, and you'll hear it's like guitar driven stuff.
Speaker 1: I think even one of the songs had like a
Speaker 1: fiddle in it and a harmonica. So I'm like, I
Speaker 1: was doing this before I did pop this less the
Speaker 1: original music. Um, but yeah, so that was the that's
Speaker 1: that and so how long does that run? That show?
Speaker 1: So it had four seasons of Hogan Knows Best and
Speaker 1: then we moved on to Brookno's Best, and we did
Speaker 1: two seasons at Brookno's Best, even though we were supposed
Speaker 1: to do three more after that. But that's when my
Speaker 1: brother's accident, my parents divorced, and everything happened, and it
Speaker 1: was like life imploded, Like nobody wanted to be on
Speaker 1: camera together. There were so many legal ramifications, like we
Speaker 1: couldn't talk about what was going on on camera. Um,
Speaker 1: it was just really, for lack of a better word,
Speaker 1: a complete ship show. That was just like a really
Speaker 1: unfortunate time. And since then, it's you know what, I
Speaker 1: look back and I'm like, God, we were in like
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten countries, just hit the ground running
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen years old with that first episode
Speaker 1: that we did with v H one, and then it
Speaker 1: just turned into God, we just never had a break.
Speaker 1: And then you're twenty two years old and your show
Speaker 1: is gone. You have a breather, and you're just like
Speaker 1: spinning out. Like I moved to l A. I moved
Speaker 1: to Florida again, I moved to Nashville, like I moved
Speaker 1: a bunch of places. So just kind of almost you know,
Speaker 1: arrested development for a minute, because you're just like I
Speaker 1: started when I was fifteen. I've been busy doing this
Speaker 1: the whole time, and now who am I? What am
Speaker 1: I doing? Where am I at? So the last ten
Speaker 1: years of not being on TV has been very good
Speaker 1: for me and to just kind of be normal. When
Speaker 1: you look back at that time in your life, do
Speaker 1: you have like a fondest memory of of filming. I
Speaker 1: think what's so great about it is, even though a
Speaker 1: lot of the scenarios were helped along, if you will,
Speaker 1: it is so nice because I can look back on
Speaker 1: my family being together, you know, the house that we
Speaker 1: all lived in, um, you know, some of the days
Speaker 1: were really funny, and it's like watching it it's so
Speaker 1: cool because it's like you can just go right back
Speaker 1: to that moment, you know, And sometimes I get lost
Speaker 1: in that. But sometimes it's not healthy to do that either,
Speaker 1: because you spend your life looking backwards. UM. So you know,
Speaker 1: once in a blue moon, you know, I'll put on
Speaker 1: a funny episode and be like, god, I remember that day.
Speaker 1: But it's funny because most of the time, UM, like
Speaker 1: Glenn and Ashley, who did work knows best with people
Speaker 1: say oh my god, remember when we did that? And
Speaker 1: I had like blacked out for like a year of
Speaker 1: my life because I think I was just under so
Speaker 1: much stress and I was never the type to deal
Speaker 1: with it with like drugs or being crazy. Like I
Speaker 1: never found out of control and I always felt fine.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like I was just raised to be
Speaker 1: that kind of strong person. But when I look back,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think my brain was crying out from
Speaker 1: stress and just you know, our life imploding. That I
Speaker 1: was just going through the motions and filming and like,
Speaker 1: I don't remember certain things from that time that I'm
Speaker 1: just like, no idea. I think the one thing that
Speaker 1: a lot of people are surprised by when I talk
Speaker 1: about nuts and bolts and how the sausage is made
Speaker 1: when it comes to reality television is the long hours.
Speaker 1: It's really long shoot days, and because no one a
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't union in that situation, they can
Speaker 1: really kind of push you much much farther and harder
Speaker 1: than they really should. I'll be doing Paradise and I'll
Speaker 1: be like, I'm on our nineteen of standing and bartending,
Speaker 1: you know, like can I get cut now? At some point?
Speaker 1: When do I wrap here? And so I can totally
Speaker 1: understand like your situation where it just was like NonStop
Speaker 1: for years on end, you just it all becomes a
Speaker 1: blurrow at some point. Yeah. I remember when we would
Speaker 1: finish filming and we'd have like maybe two months off.
Speaker 1: I just remember that first month just sleeping, just feeling
Speaker 1: like God, I need just endless amounts of sleep because
Speaker 1: I'm just exhausted. Um and even what you do, you know,
Speaker 1: being on a mike, having to be on take so
Speaker 1: much energy out of you. It's just it is amazing.
Speaker 1: It's almost like adrenaline, like when women can lift cars
Speaker 1: off of their kids, like when they're in Like, I
Speaker 1: didn't get very much sleep last night, but because I
Speaker 1: had to do kt l A and this, and now
Speaker 1: it's like you have this like strength and this, your
Speaker 1: eyes get bright and you just the flip switch off,
Speaker 1: the switches on and you're just like here I am.
Speaker 1: But then the moment that I get off of this
Speaker 1: with you, I'll be like knocked out in the sun.
Speaker 1: You know, Brooke knows best runs for six years. What
Speaker 1: happens after that? Honestly, just ten years of um, I
Speaker 1: think all of our lives kind of just falling apart.
Speaker 1: It was actually really um it's it's been a very
Speaker 1: hard road to go down because my parents have been
Speaker 1: in constant lawsuits and constant just battling each other. My
Speaker 1: dad got remarried ten years ago to a super nice lady, Jen,
Speaker 1: who who is like people say, we look like twins,
Speaker 1: but personality wise we're born like obviously she's older than
Speaker 1: I am, but we're like both. Torus is born a
Speaker 1: couple of days apart. We have the same personality traits. Um,
Speaker 1: so we get along, Greade. But it has just been hard.
Speaker 1: I mean, my dad's been through his own stuff with
Speaker 1: I mean just every that's come out of the press
Speaker 1: and then ten back surgeries and just I mean the
Speaker 1: toll that that even takes on your body is just insane.
Speaker 1: People think, oh, this is the one misconception, and it
Speaker 1: just makes me so mad when I try not to recomments.
Speaker 1: And I have a lot of really nice followers, but
Speaker 1: one person, you know, has to be like, oh must
Speaker 1: be easy being you know, a millionaire and having a
Speaker 1: rich daddy, And I'm like, you don't know that there
Speaker 1: were a lot of financial sucks, you know, from our family,
Speaker 1: with you know, lawsuits and lead. I mean I always
Speaker 1: tell people like these girls, you know, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm dating a guy. He's got money, he's
Speaker 1: got and I'm like, where does this even come from?
Speaker 1: Because you can have millions of dollars and have one
Speaker 1: thing happened. You know, you can bump somebody in the
Speaker 1: back with your car and they can own you. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just money. It just comes and goes so much.
Speaker 1: It's like, I think the thing that's attractive about men
Speaker 1: is if they know how to make it, if they're smart.
Speaker 1: If you ever lose it, you can make it again.
Speaker 1: You're a hustler. But but trying to say that that's
Speaker 1: the be all end all is like it's so easy
Speaker 1: to lose and not to mention, you know, I get
Speaker 1: off TV and to keep Brooke Hogan trademarks and to
Speaker 1: keep you know, the lawyer fees and this and that.
Speaker 1: It's like, now that I'm not having TV money coming in,
Speaker 1: but I'm still also having to keep up with my
Speaker 1: trademarks and my lawyers and my insurance and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like the I gotta stopped with an eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollar lawyerville as soon as I was done with Brookner's Best,
Speaker 1: and that was one of many. And I'm like, you
Speaker 1: can make a couple hundred thousand dollars and it can
Speaker 1: be gone in a few months just with you know,
Speaker 1: it takes money to make money. So um, it's been
Speaker 1: a very delicate balance. Um. My friend Drew is like,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be ashamed of telling people this, and I'm not,
Speaker 1: because I have no shame in my game. I really
Speaker 1: don't care. Um. But I actually ended up cocktail waitressing
Speaker 1: for a while because I was just like, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna ask my doubt for money. He's already under enough stress.
Speaker 1: I'm not that type of person anyway. And I ended
Speaker 1: up finding out that it was like stripper money. I
Speaker 1: was like Hey, I'm how come I didn't do this before?
Speaker 1: You know? Um? So I actually worked at the J. W.
Speaker 1: Marriott in Nashville at the rooftop, and I was a
Speaker 1: cocktail server and I'm telling you what, man, that money
Speaker 1: was unfair. It was like, this is like TV money?
Speaker 1: How did I not ever do this before? You know?
Speaker 1: And the thing the only thing that sucked was you'd
Speaker 1: walk up to a table and every single table was
Speaker 1: like aren't you Propogan? Yeah, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: And I would be like, oh, we're Some of those
Speaker 1: servers would cover for me. They'd be like she's filming
Speaker 1: an undercover show. I'm like, you guys are so sweet,
Speaker 1: but you know, um. And then you know, in that
Speaker 1: whole time, I was like, well I wanna, you know,
Speaker 1: try to have it. Like I said, I've never been
Speaker 1: interested in fame, but I love business. I love being creative.
Speaker 1: So I actually started an interior design company in Nashville
Speaker 1: that specializes in airbnbs. So that's like my bread and butter,
Speaker 1: and that's my my you know, side hustle. But it
Speaker 1: affords me to do what I really love, which is music.
Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully, if everything pans out, all of
Speaker 1: it will take off simultaneously because I do like doing
Speaker 1: the design thing. I think that's amazing. You were hustling
Speaker 1: on both ends of the spectrum. You're hustling with your music,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, you know, I'm not gonna ask
Speaker 1: my dad for any money. I'm gonna go make this
Speaker 1: on my own. It's so funny. I found this when
Speaker 1: I was out of college because I did the same thing,
Speaker 1: just kind of backwards. I was a radio host that
Speaker 1: didn't really pay the bills, so I would also wait
Speaker 1: tables and then that moonlight at the radio station, and
Speaker 1: a lot of the kids that I went to college with,
Speaker 1: I don't kind of like look down upon me for
Speaker 1: doing that. It's a weird thing of like a lot
Speaker 1: of people just assume that they deserve to have the
Speaker 1: big job out of college and be making six figures
Speaker 1: and this entitlement thing that a lot of people have.
Speaker 1: Now you look at it, and I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of people are like, well, should I should have gone
Speaker 1: down the route? WELLS went because I make, you know,
Speaker 1: ten times more money than all those assholes ever did.
Speaker 1: But I hustled earlier in life, and I think that's
Speaker 1: awesome that one that you did it, and two that
Speaker 1: you are telling all of my listeners about it. Because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what this show is
Speaker 1: is like, what's the blueprint for success? I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people just assume that famous people are lucky,
Speaker 1: and that's just not the case. How much TV and
Speaker 1: you see these people that you see on red carpets
Speaker 1: and you expect them to have tons of money, I
Speaker 1: think to myself, I'm like, God, they probably have side
Speaker 1: hustles and other stuff they're working on, because it is
Speaker 1: it takes so much to stay afloat in the entertainment
Speaker 1: industry and to total side note. I think every and
Speaker 1: people say this all the time, but it's so true.
Speaker 1: I think everybody needs to wait tables in their life.
Speaker 1: I really think that you do not understand what the
Speaker 1: service industry goes through. Whether you're on the phone to
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines and you're dealing with the representative, whether you're
Speaker 1: in line, you know, with the cashier, whether you have
Speaker 1: a waitress or a waiter. Um. It really is, I
Speaker 1: would say, mentally, one of the hardest jobs that I've done, because,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be on because if you're in
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry and be friendly and be helpful and
Speaker 1: courteous and kind, but also just have so many things.
Speaker 1: I mean, just the orders from the kitchen to they
Speaker 1: need water, she wants another glass of wine, the steak
Speaker 1: was cooked wrong. I mean it just the the to
Speaker 1: do list in your mind at that moment piles on,
Speaker 1: Like you really have to be wearing eighteen hats and
Speaker 1: be able to juggle and just do it all with
Speaker 1: a smile. And I think it would give people a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for people in the service industry to
Speaker 1: eight tables you really understand. So it's a humongous turn
Speaker 1: off to me if somebody is unkind to somebody in
Speaker 1: the service industry, because I feel like and what else
Speaker 1: I think is so amazing too, is those servers might
Speaker 1: make more than you do. You know, like they are
Speaker 1: probably making better money in certain situations they might be,
Speaker 1: and you're looking down on them like their servants. And
Speaker 1: it's just like especially bartenders, man, they I should have bartended.
Speaker 1: That was the way to go. And what's so funny,
Speaker 1: I actually got that job because Diamond dallas Pages daughter
Speaker 1: Brittany was bartending at Bourbon Steak and she said, girl,
Speaker 1: you have got to come work here. She goes, I
Speaker 1: just upgraded a bartender from the lounge. You should be
Speaker 1: a lounge server. And I was like, are you sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, girl, come on in. And I swear
Speaker 1: to god, we had so much fun. We were just
Speaker 1: like slinging drinks and making people happy, and we would
Speaker 1: like we had one guy named Godfrey that was like
Speaker 1: a total charmer. So instead of us sticking to our
Speaker 1: layout for our tables that night, if I got a
Speaker 1: table full of women, I would put Godfrey on them
Speaker 1: because he would turn the pants off of him. Well
Speaker 1: probably not literally, maybe you never know. Um. And then
Speaker 1: if he got a whole table of men or a
Speaker 1: football team or something like that, he'd put me on
Speaker 1: them right. So, and then we would just split tips
Speaker 1: and go back and forth, and it was. It was
Speaker 1: a hell of a good time. I still like even
Speaker 1: I go and eat there to say, hid everybody and
Speaker 1: just like hang out there for two years and just
Speaker 1: seeing all the servers and stuff. I'm like, honestly, I
Speaker 1: still miss it. I wish I could come back here
Speaker 1: like two days a week, just for the social aspect
Speaker 1: and just for like the hustle and bustle it was
Speaker 1: just such a good experience. Yeah, I was. I was
Speaker 1: the waiter and bartender at Brick Tops. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he ever went there. Yeah, and uh probably I
Speaker 1: probably did, actually, but well I think I was done
Speaker 1: working there in two thousand nine on West End. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, that the joke that I always said was
Speaker 1: because I did the morning show on Lightning, which was
Speaker 1: the show that everyone wanted, and then I did four
Speaker 1: different formats at my Heart, and the joke was I
Speaker 1: made more money waiting tables than I ever did on
Speaker 1: all those radio stations combined. And then when I was
Speaker 1: a bartender. This is the thing that no one believes
Speaker 1: that I made more money as a real bartender than
Speaker 1: I ever had as a television bartender. On Bachelor and Paradise,
Speaker 1: which is like the most popular show that runs during
Speaker 1: the summer, I always killed it much more in terms
Speaker 1: of just like bottom dollar really doing it than in
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry, which I just think is funny and
Speaker 1: kind of going back to your point, so crazy too,
Speaker 1: like especially in Nashville, like the bartenders and stuff down
Speaker 1: on Broadway, like even the bar backs come home just
Speaker 1: sweet because it's just the amount of people. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is obviously pre COVID, but man, it is a
Speaker 1: great industry to be at. Yeah, and especially if you're
Speaker 1: if you're pursuing your dreams in the entertainment industry, because
Speaker 1: you can do that at night and then you can
Speaker 1: go to auditions or whatever during the day. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, you gotta burn it at both ends. But
Speaker 1: that's how you become successful as you hustle. And that's
Speaker 1: just the end of the story. I'll say, bringing home
Speaker 1: a lot of cash at the end of the day
Speaker 1: definitely makes losing sleep rettle easier. Um, well, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm running out of time with you. I feel like
Speaker 1: we could we could do this for a while before
Speaker 1: I let you go. You want to do some rapid
Speaker 1: fire questions? Sure? Oh, I've never had anybody do this
