WEBVTT - Brooke Hogan 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.680 Finally we made it. It seems like things are kind 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.320 of the same, so it wasn't like a magic wand 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:12.520 that was waived once the balls dropped. Sorry the ball 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.280 dropped in Times Square and it was like, all right, 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.520 everything's back to normally. Now we're still kind of in it. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.680 So it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine, guys, 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.400 it's don't worry about it. Should we do it? Roll it? 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.760 This is the Wells Cast with Wells Atoms and I 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:44.360 Heart Radio podcast. Okay, Wells Cast first episode. Sad about 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:47.440 today's episode. You know, the whole idea of this show 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.880 is origin stories and like the things that people had 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.320 to do to get to the places that they are today, 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.880 the turmoil that they had to endure. The one thing 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.400 I always come back to after having these conversations with 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.040 these extremely successful people is their work ethic. There is 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.959 no substitute for hard work. There really isn't. I don't 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.440 know if I've met anybody who just was successful because 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.360 they were lucky. I think we all want to think 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.600 that's the truth, but it's just not. And sometimes you 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.520 can start out super successful and then things kind of 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.319 fall off, and then you have to kind of jump 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.600 back on hustle, hustle, hustle and bring yourself back up 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.800 to it, which is the case of our guests today. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.400 And they were on a TV show when they were 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.000 a kid. Yeah, their manager as a kid was Lou Perlman, 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.399 the guy who created the Backstreet Boys, and Aaron Carter 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.840 and many others. Yeah, they were on a bunch of 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.679 hit reality TV shows. Yeah they had a number one single, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.720 But in this industry, it's feast for famine. And what 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:46.200 I love about this episode today is our guests could 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.840 be so entitled from who their father is, all the 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.440 work they've done, it's kind of rested on their laurels. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.120 That's not what happened. This one buckled down, reinvented herself 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.040 and in the meantime didn't ask for a damn thing 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.520 from her famous but waited tables inside, burn the candle 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.600 at both ends, and it's back on the come up. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.360 This is a really inspiring story And for those of 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.119 you out there who are hustling like crazy, this episode 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.120 will remind you that, dude, we've all been there before. 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.560 Star of Hogan knows best, the Star of Brooke knows best, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.000 The Daughter of Thunder lips himself. That's right. Today on 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.079 the Welles Cast, it's Brooke Hogan. This is one episode 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:39.640 do you are not going to want to miss? Al 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.239 right back in the Wells Cast. Very excited to have 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.280 someone who I've watched for a very long time on 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.160 reality TV, the one, the only Brooke Hogan. How are you? 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.040 I'm doing pretty good listen. So you've got a lot 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.520 of stuff going on. You're like the only person in 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.520 show biz it's working right now. So congratulations on that. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.880 Oh my god, I know a few people that are. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.760 But it's definitely been hard with this COVID thing. I mean, man, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.760 it's just hard to make a human connection. It's hard 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.600 to see people play music, you know, meet up with people. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.080 It's it's a completely different world that we live in now. Well, 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.639 congratulations on your new country single Love People, which is 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.240 out now. I was listening to it on Spotify and 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.320 I gotta say I love the sound, but it is 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.560 a departure from what I know you as God. Back 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.200 when I was with Lou Pearlman down in Orlando, Florida, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.560 the boy band Mogul. He actually had me doing guitar 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.080 driven music back then, but nobody ever got to hear 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.960 that music because he got caught for money laundering and 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.080 everything got seized and auctioned off and that was the 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.600 end of that. And then I was just doing some 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.160 some pop stuff with Larry Rudolph, Britty Spears manager, and 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.560 I did like a one off show at Mansion in Miami, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.880 and Scott Storge just happened to be there and he 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.440 was like, we're gonna make you our flagship artists. We 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.440 want to sign you. So I was like, okay, you know, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.320 because I could dance and you know, do the whole thing. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.640 Because obviously I came from the boy and camp where 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.080 they groom you to be a pop sensation, and and 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.680 because I had a little bit of soul and I 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.040 was raised on you know, Teddy Pendergrass and Luther the 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.640 Van Drives and stuff. He was like, we're going to 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.400 make you an R and B like white Girl, and 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.840 you're gonna be like a white Sierra. And I was like, okay, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.200 that sounds fun, but you know, you're eighteen years old, 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.600 You're like, I'm down with that um And it went well. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.320 I mean, we did, we did great, but you know, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.839 it's kind of hard because I think people box you 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.039 into one thing, and you don't realize when you're a songwriter. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.560 It's like if somebody said, write a song that sounds 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.640 like Justin Bieber right now, great, write a song for 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.240 a girl band, you know, for Disney. You know. It's 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.520 like you can kind of mold yourself into anything you 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.400 really need to be. But I think I'm kind of 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.719 returning back to where my my passion is and where 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.840 I feel more comfortable. Can we play a little bit 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.719 of this love People single? Sure? Yeah, all right, let's 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.279 do it. We do? What do people have to love? People? 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:59.760 Even people making promises and that to keep them is 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:05.120 a they they would pay. Wouldn't it be away? Safe? 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.880 It's strangers? Just say it's stranger. I can never break 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.479 if you don't give it away. Why do people have 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:22.440 to love? Thankfully? I think of all the real love 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.640 the radio. I feel like this is ah I guess 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.320 appropriate song for the times we're living in right now? 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.440 Hell curiously right. It's so funny because we recorded this 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.000 song and we were like, man, it really fits with 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.559 this whole you know, pandemic and everything that we're going through. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.719 And then this bomb hit Nashville and it makes even 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.600 more sense now it's just kind of like I was 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.919 talking to my friends, I'm like, people want so badly 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.680 to be connected, and they want to be in love, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:49.960 and they want to love each other, and they want 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.360 to feel like they're part of a community. But then 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.080 we self sabotage. We've got these people that are destroying 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.120 our community and not coming together and doing the opposite. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.880 I'm like, can we please just raise the consciousness and 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.440 stop being crazy people? And just why can't we all 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.840 just get along? You know? So, um, you know what, 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.360 I'm proud of my city. I mean, if one if 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.720 there's one thing Nashville knows how to do, is they 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.160 know how to come together and and be strong together. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.960 So it's just super unfortunate, you know. And it's like 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.000 it feels like the world is ending. I'm sure a 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.400 lot of people feel like that. It's like people are 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.800 starting to get cabin fever. They're like, when is this 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.320 going to end? When are we going to have a 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.160 cure of vaccine? And this is that's that we can 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.880 get back to our normal lives. It's just start to 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.360 drive people in saying, tell me about the songwriting process 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.600 for this. I mean, you're now living in Nashville, which 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.760 is the mecca of music row and songwriting. So was 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.000 this different than some of the other music that you 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.440 put out just in terms of like logistics of creating it? Well, so, yeah, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.920 actually it really it's very different as far as creating 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.800 it because being in Nashville, I write everything, and this 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.600 was a song that we actually stumbled upon and gave 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.680 us goose bumps. So I had no hand in writing it. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.400 But when I heard it, I was like, oh my god, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.960 I have to record that song. It's amazing. And I 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.560 was lucky enough to be able to get my hands 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.880 on it, and some of our great friends and songwriters 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.680 in Nashville wrote it, so it was already felt It 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.440 already felt like a personal thing because we knew the 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.679 people that wrote it. But I do try to write 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.880 most of my stuff, but sometimes if you just stumble 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.160 upon a great song, it's a great song. There's nothing 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.600 you can do about it, so except sing it. That's 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.440 one of the things I kind of love and hate 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.400 about Nashville. One. A lot of the songs that come 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.040 out of Nashville are not very personal to the artist 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.720 because they didn't actually write it. But that's also kind 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.760 of goes with pop music. But then what I love 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.760 about it is it's this industry that pumps out so 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.320 much money for so many people because a lot of 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.040 people have hands in writing this, and then it becomes 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.600 like a very communal aspect yet feeding a lot of families. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.520 But then you have like those kind of bluebird writers 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.520 in the round thing where you get to like hear 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.880 the background stories and stuff like that. Yeah, it definitely 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.600 it's a place where your dream can come true even 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.560 if it doesn't come to full fruition, Like you can 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:57.640 still do your passion. You can still do what you 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.720 love even if you never make it on the big 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.400 stage age. You can at least make a living doing 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.480 what you love, which is so great about Nashville. So 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.080 there is no city like Nashville, that's for sure. Yeah, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.880 when you say that, it reminds me of this quote 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.840 that I heard Bill Murray say one time, where he says, 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.240 everyone wants to be rich and famous, just try to 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.560 be rich first and see if that's enough, which is 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.880 very very true. I think a lot of songwriters are like, 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.679 I don't know if I want to be on tour 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.880 forty eight weeks out of the year and have to 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.080 like sign autographs and stuff. I want to get some 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.880 mailbox money and chill in my house and Belle mead, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.120 It's true. One of my really good friends, Jen Denmark, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.360 is a songwriter for HERB and she's like one of 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.199 their top songwriters and she's so successful and has done 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.920 so well in songwriting and she gets to enjoy her privacy. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.440 And I'm like, I'm so jealous. You didn't have to 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.319 like go like hold yourself out. But I always always 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.960 said I never did it for the fame. I'm kind 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.000 of a little bit more of an introvert. I don't 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.800 like being around a ton of people. I love being home. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.320 I'm a homebody. Um. I feel silly doing selfies and 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.520 videoing myself even though that is the way of the world. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.960 I feel like, oh my gosh, I have to keep 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.920 up with these kids, and I feel us and narcissistic. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.040 I hate this, um, But yeah, it is a completely 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.720 different world. You have to stay on the TikTok and 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.480 the trailer and this and that, and I'm like, there 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.240 are too many social media platforms. I just need to 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.880 post to one every couple of weeks and that would 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.120 be good for me. But so yeah, you know, but 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.000 it is cool the one thing I have found, even 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.319 the fame definitely has I feel, probably more downsides than upsides. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.360 One of the upsides is if you do have your 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.920 head on your shoulders, if you are not a jerk, 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.319 and you use your fame for good, to influence people 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.280 in the right ways and to try to help people, 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.640 then it makes it fulfilling on that aspect of it. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.199 Well yeah, and also you're not you know, I come 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.120 from the Bachelor world, where so many people go into 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.160 that I think mainly to get big Instagram follows and 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.480 sell kind of bo on Instagram, which no judgment to 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.719 anything that does that. I do that. But you were 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.920 thrust into it at a young age where it like, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.960 wasn't your prerogative really was like I would assumes your 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.880 pops prerogative to start this show and make little lecture 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.480 cash and you were kind of pans prerogative because the 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.080 Osborne's were on TV and he said, I'm telling you 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.560 the new way of the world is reality TV. We 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.400 have to get Brooke a reality show and it will 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.960 help her music. So we actually did the reality show 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.680 to help the music, which it absolutely did. It gives 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.920 you so much exposure. It's like free advertising for it, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.360 well not free, but you know, advertising for thirty minutes 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.880 every time in episode airs. It's like, you know, people 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.680 have to pay millions of dollars for that kind of 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.360 time slot if it's a commercial. So and we were 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.520 just kind of pioneers in it because the Osborne's had 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.760 done it and they were a little bit dirtier and 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.640 they were cursing and just kind of like fly on 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.440 the wall, like seeing how raunchy they were, and it 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.160 was hilarious. But we decided to go down the path 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.800 of our basis was that old show Father Knows Best, 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.559 where there's like a moral at the end of the 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.079 story and this and that, and it kind of fit 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.400 the narrative of you know, we're a family unit. You know, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.320 you expect Hulk going to be this big, screaming guy 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.440 like you see in the ring, and really he's this tender, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.839 cries at the lion king kind of guy. And I 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.760 was doing my music and Nick was doing his stuff. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.520 So but at the end of our show, it was 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:07.960 always a moral at the end of the story, so 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.120 we tried to make it positive. So, I mean, after 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.160 Hogan Knows Best, you did Brooke Knows Best that ran 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.440 for like six years, which well done on that, and 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.480 then now I heard there's a new one coming out soon. 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.000 We've had a couple of different people wanting to I 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.920 guess the new fad And it's so funny because I 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.280 just did an interview for kt l A. They were like, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.959 it's this new fad of like re upping old brands, 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.080 and I'm like, who you calling old? But it has 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.959 been about ten years since since Brooke Knows Best, um, 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.360 and I would absolutely love to do that again. Um. 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.840 Like I said, there's been a couple of people approaching. UM. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.280 We were actually pretty close on one deal, but Covid 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.360 has just really kind of stolen the thunder. But yeah, 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.320 I would love to do that. There's so many, you know, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.160 new things going on with my life too. I mean 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.880 I'm in Nashville and doing the songwriting and trying to 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.920 find a husband. I swear I feel like the right 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.320 show would be going on The Bachelorette. Well, I know, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.319 I know all those producers. If you want to get 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.680 on that, I can get you on that immediately. I 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.200 want the simple things in life. I want to you know, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.400 picket fence in the family, and the whole thing, you know, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.960 because like when you come from such a crazy life 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.160 and such a crazy background, it's like you really actually 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.640 value family and your privacy and stuff like that. So 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.880 it's just so hard to find in general, people dating 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.200 in general have a hard time finding people, let alone 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.760 being whole Coogan's daughter and you know, having your own 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.280 career and then having your dad's career kind of there 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.880 in the background. It's like, well, what do you want 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.199 from me? I assume it's got to be tough to 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.000 date you, Like, okay, it's like post show you're dating whoever. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.000 I feel bad for my sisters. My dad wasn't you know, 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.520 a professional wrestler who was like known of like just 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.880 beating the crap out of people. Was it so scary 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.000 for you to introduce guys to him? And then also like, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.440 were those guys just so terrified to come and meet 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.520 your dad? You get like two sets of guys. You 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.360 get guys that are like, oh, I'm a big boy, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.559 I can handle myself, and they come in coffee, and 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.240 then you get the ones that are really scared and 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.000 they can't hold their own and you're just like, oh 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.600 my gosh, um, now it's more like my dad is 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.920 more protective of me and the music because he knows 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.000 that we're onto something good with this music and the 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.800 other stuff that we have is just oh my gosh. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.080 Like we were having a hard time picking which song 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:21.760 to come out with, and Love People made sense with 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.080 the time that we're in, um, but the other music 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.720 that we have is just equally as good. It's just 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.000 also awesome. And and he's like, don't let any boy 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.880 distract you. I'm like, Tad, I'm thirty two years old. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.040 Like you met Jen, the lady he's married to right now. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.760 I'm like, you met her when she was my age, 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:42.560 Like it's time, you know, so, But you know, God 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.800 has his own plan, so I'm just going with the flow. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.400 I do love Love People. It's a single that came 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.040 out what in October? Came out in October, I think 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.160 towards the end of October something like that. And uh, 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.560 like I said, COVID kind of slow stuff down. We're 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.400 hitting it hard with radio team and everything January one, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.760 So that's exciting. What's following is there an EP and 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.079 LP is there's an EP? And I argue with my 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.040 best friend and music manager Drew all the time on 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.960 what's going to be the next single. There's one called 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.400 Boomerang that he's like, you need to perform this at WrestleMania. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.520 It's such a badass song, like you just have to 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.160 like come out and just kill it um. And then 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.560 my dad's got a favorite called Don't Know It Yet, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.640 which is like a very motown love song. He kind 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.480 of he's a hopeless romantic, so he loves that song. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.320 And then other people love this one that me and 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.160 Jen Denmark wrote together called boys Trip, which is like 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.320 a total play on words like and you think it 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.560 would be like, oh, boys trip, like beerers and golfing 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.040 and stuff, and it's more like boys trip when they 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:41.840 think that I've been getting a little bit bit of 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.640 too much attention, or when they don't like the kind 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.360 of looks that I'm getting, like stuff like that. It's 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.120 kind of like insecure men. So there's this plethora of 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.640 music that we're like, we can't really decide what to 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.440 go with for the next single. So I have a 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.800 feeling it's going to be somewhere between Boomerang and Boys Trip. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.200 Maybe not sure. I was a music director of program 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.480 director for many years, so if you want to send 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.800 me over some of the demos. I like the idea. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.040 I like that idea. I'm actually going to have to 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.480 get your number and put you and Drew on a 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.680 because Drew loves that. He loves like asking pds for 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.160 their opinion and which one they would put out next. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.600 So we will definitely send you the songs and let 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.720 you give us your opinion. I would love that. Actually, 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.520 So is is Brooke knows Nashville? Like just in pause? 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.480 Like I I read about that there's this reality show 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.360 that you're going to be filming out in Nashville. So 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.040 is it just on positive cod cod covid has put 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.880 it on pause. There's so many different rules with the 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.680 city about how many people can be in a room 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.800 stuff like that. So it's like try having a thirty 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.840 person camera crew in a twelve by ten room. Not happening. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.240 So we're trying to figure out how we can make 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.880 this happen. I mean, we're gonna have to get creative. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.520 So quit break and we come back. We are going 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.960 to did anyone tell you the basis of this podcast? Um? 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.840 They said that you talk about where people are, like background, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.840 where people are, okay, cool origin stories. When we come back. 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.160 We're gonna find out where the hell Brooke Hogan came 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.920 from and how the hell she got here? Stick around. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:15.120 That's pretty cool, actually, all right back in the Welles cast. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.960 I have Brooke Hogan on this show today. This show 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.240 is an origin story show, and I feel like a 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.960 lot of people saw your origin story in real time, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.960 like you grew up in front of a lot of families. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.840 But I want to go back before Hogan knows best 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.600 where were you born? You know what I think? First 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.280 of all, before we can get into that, I think 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:41.640 that that's very clever because anytime you do an interview 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.640 right as a celebrity or somebody that's, you know, have 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.760 a little bit of fame, people kind of don't really 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.080 ask you that. They say, oh, what was it like 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.480 growing up on reality TV? Or how to be cool? 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.000 Having a datas how Hogan. They never actually asked what 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.200 was your experience? Like you know? So I think that's 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.160 pretty that's pretty interesting because I think there's a lot 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:00.880 of things that you're gonna find out that a lot 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.760 of people don't know. Everyone kind of knows about the 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.080 person when they got the blue check, but no one 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.760 knows how the hell and how hard. They had to 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.040 work to get to that point, you know, being you 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.040 know me grow up on reality TV. I mean you 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.200 got to see a twenty three minute episode of something 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.600 that was cut to be entertaining. Yeah, it's like we're 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.720 really seeing like the day to day and stuff. So 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.320 um but origin I was born ten pounds eleven ounces, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.920 huge baby yeah, at camp In General Hospital on May five, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.880 Sinco de Mayo. I have the best birthday ever because 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.200 it's always chips and margaritas at I believe eight o 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.879 five at night? How many have I have one brother, 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.360 he was born at eight o five in the morning actually, 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.479 which is so funny, but he was July. Are you 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.800 big on like time that you were born having an 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.199 effect on the person that you are. I definitely believe 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.159 in horoscopes to an extent, like astrology and stuff. I 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.480 do think it is kind of funny how a lot 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.399 of it does nail certain things on the head and 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.600 people that don't believe in it when you read or traits, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:02.639 they're like, hm, I guess that's kind of like me. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.320 I'm like, see told you it's real. Okay, So you 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.560 were born in Florida. How long are you there for? 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.920 Grew up Clearwater Beach whole life. I think the first 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:15.960 time I actually moved away was to film the Miami 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.280 section of Hogan Knows Best. So we had a second 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.400 house in l A because my mom's family was from there, 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.000 so we go visit, But it wasn't ever are like 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.720 primary place that we lived because we went to school here. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.120 So I went to a private Catholic school right down 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.439 the road called St. Cecilia's that was extremely tough. I 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.479 did not like school. I was terrible in American history 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.640 and geography and anything having to do with the United 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.040 States geographics, capitals and cities and things like that, and 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.760 then remembering like Whyene and Christopher Columbus like sailed the 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.280 ocean blue. I still didn't tell you so, but I 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.480 can tell you the how you know atoms and cells 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.600 and math. Things I'm good with, like math and science. 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.240 So that was my thing. Were you always into entertaining? 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.240 Like how did the whole like singing income about? So? 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.840 On my mom's side of the family and on my dad's, 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.800 I guess there was music in both. My dad was 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.720 a studio musician and played bass for a lot of 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.200 actually like famous songs that are on the radio now, 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.520
