Speaker 1: Hi to everybody. Welcome to the Granger Smith Podcast. Thank
Speaker 1: you for watching and listening. Thank you for all the support.
Speaker 1: I love this I love this thing. I love the show.
Speaker 1: I love to get on here and be able to
Speaker 1: use this platform to speak my mind and talk to
Speaker 1: some guests and talk to some friends and answer your questions.
Speaker 1: I do have to say this is episode forty four.
Speaker 1: If you don't know anything about this podcast, if you
Speaker 1: stumbled on here for the first time, I encourage you
Speaker 1: to go backwards a little bit. At some point, pace yourself.
Speaker 1: Go backwards. It starts all the way back at episode one.
Speaker 1: I started telling the story of where I came from
Speaker 1: and how I got to be where I am now,
Speaker 1: and that is with music and my family and my
Speaker 1: life and here at yee ye the brand. So I
Speaker 1: started this podcast not really thinking this was going to
Speaker 1: be a ton of episodes. Now I think it is.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a ton of episodes. But back
Speaker 1: then I wanted a long form explanation of some deep
Speaker 1: stories from me of where I came from because I
Speaker 1: was so used to being on radio shows where they
Speaker 1: would say, so tell us a little bit about yourself,
Speaker 1: and I would say, well, how do you answer that
Speaker 1: question if you know in the back of your mind
Speaker 1: you have about ten seconds of radio time to tell
Speaker 1: them where you came from or who you are or
Speaker 1: what's your music about. And so I thought you I'll
Speaker 1: start a podcast. I'll answer some of these questions myself
Speaker 1: and just do it in long form where it takes
Speaker 1: a while and I could really get into the depths
Speaker 1: of where I came from. That turned into story after
Speaker 1: story after story, album after album, song after song, and
Speaker 1: it led into bringing some guests on, and then it
Speaker 1: led onto where we are now, where we're on all
Speaker 1: podcast apps and YouTube as well, so you could actually
Speaker 1: see it and hear it if you want. And it's
Speaker 1: something I love doing every single Monday morning. So this
Speaker 1: is hopefully on your drive to work or getting your
Speaker 1: weeks started on a Monday. So thank you for being
Speaker 1: with me. I'm grateful to have it. The most important
Speaker 1: thing I could tell you right now about me in
Speaker 1: my life is we have an album coming out in September,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to announce that album. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you everything about it when exactly the day in September
Speaker 1: you could expect it and what it's going to be
Speaker 1: about and the songs that are going to be on it.
Speaker 1: On August twenty eighth, I'm gonna tell you that that's
Speaker 1: when we're gonna announce it. We're gonna give you the
Speaker 1: pre order link, the pre save link for the streaming services,
Speaker 1: and you'll be able to hear some examples. I'm probably
Speaker 1: going to go on social media and show you a
Speaker 1: little bit of every song at that point. So the
Speaker 1: point being there's only there's like, if you're listening real
Speaker 1: time on this podcast, in like three weeks, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get all that info. And that is a big, big
Speaker 1: deal to me because I've worked so hard on this album.
Speaker 1: It's been about two years in the making. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of songs, a lot of stories, and I think
Speaker 1: it's my best work I've ever done. And this is
Speaker 1: my tenth studio album, and I think it's my best one.
Speaker 1: I know that everyone says that, and even I've said
Speaker 1: that in the past, but it feels different now. It
Speaker 1: feels that just feels it feels like my best So
Speaker 1: I'm pumped. It's not the it's not the first time
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about this. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wear you guys out about it, just because I'm so
Speaker 1: excited and I want to hear how these songs in
Speaker 1: this period of my life twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: the songs I wrote and produced during this time. I
Speaker 1: want to know how they bounce off of your life
Speaker 1: and how you react to them, and which ones speak
Speaker 1: to you, and which lyrics speak to you, And which
Speaker 1: melodies make you want to jump in your truck and
Speaker 1: roll the windows down and drive, and which ones might
Speaker 1: make you want to get a big old cup of
Speaker 1: coffee and soak it all in. Which ones make you
Speaker 1: want to crack a beer and be with your buddies
Speaker 1: and light a bonfire, which makes you want to contemplate life.
Speaker 1: I want to know that, and I'm just so excited.
Speaker 1: It's for an artist. For a musician, it's like Christmas
Speaker 1: morning when your album comes out and you finally get
Speaker 1: to see everyone react to your work, good and bad.
Speaker 1: Even bad's good. Even when people say it sucks, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: they listened, and that's feedback. So that's better than someone
Speaker 1: not hearing anything. It's better than indifference. Like I don't
Speaker 1: even care Granger has an album. I don't even care.
Speaker 1: It's better if they say I hate it, because that
Speaker 1: means I got to you. The music got to you
Speaker 1: and it made you react in some way. If you
Speaker 1: want to get a hold of me now, A really
Speaker 1: cool way to talk to me now is through Cameo.
Speaker 1: There's an app you could download, the Cameo app. You
Speaker 1: can go to cameo dot com and then you could
Speaker 1: find me in the search and you could book me
Speaker 1: to say anything you want on a video message. So
Speaker 1: I could say happy birthday or congratulations, or happy anniversary,
Speaker 1: or welcome home from the play oom or I've done
Speaker 1: so I've done just pick me ups, like hey, talk
Speaker 1: to my sister. She's going through a tough time, where
Speaker 1: you just tell her something funny I've done. I've done
Speaker 1: ones for someone that asked for themselves for me to
Speaker 1: tell them something or answer a question. So that's a
Speaker 1: cool it's a cool thing. I do it daily, Cameo
Speaker 1: c A M e O and I love doing it
Speaker 1: and it's a really good way for me to keep
Speaker 1: good touch with you guys. I wish that we're touring.
Speaker 1: I just had another TOURD eight cancel from when you're
Speaker 1: watching this real time, we were playing in North Platte,
Speaker 1: Nebraska this coming Saturday. It just got canceled. I found
Speaker 1: out yesterday. So so frustrating to know that we're still
Speaker 1: dealing with this virus and that shows are still canceling.
Speaker 1: I was at a point when I thought that it's
Speaker 1: we're kind of even out now, like it's not going
Speaker 1: to get any worse. And I think what I'm kind
Speaker 1: of learning is the shows that we're going to play
Speaker 1: are going to be in red states that are small towns,
Speaker 1: that are Upper Midwest type scenarios where it's run by
Speaker 1: a local venue and they follow the rules and it's
Speaker 1: not city or county or a committee run at all,
Speaker 1: because those teams would be the ones that want to cancel,
Speaker 1: or's the fairs and the committee run things that have
Speaker 1: too much liability. So we do the weekend after next
Speaker 1: we are out. We have a three three day run.
Speaker 1: I believe it's like Missouri, Kansas, maybe Nebraska again, Wyoming.
Speaker 1: Wyoming's in there. So we're trying, guys, we're trying to
Speaker 1: get out. We're trying to tour and I wish we're
Speaker 1: with you right now, and we will be really soon.
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, I can hope I could scratch
Speaker 1: that itch by releasing new music. In this new album.
Speaker 1: Today's podcast, I'm going to bring back my brother, Parker Smith,
Speaker 1: who is our CEO here at EE Apparel. He's our
Speaker 1: brand manager. He's a smart dude. Not just saying that
Speaker 1: he's my brother, but Tyler and I we worked really
Speaker 1: hard on getting Parker to work here. And I know
Speaker 1: that that sounds crazy, but there was a lot of
Speaker 1: feeling like, hey, we don't want to bring him in
Speaker 1: just because he's our brother, and we don't want to just,
Speaker 1: you know, just bring him in because we feel sorry
Speaker 1: for him, or he's the only he's left out. We
Speaker 1: legitimately fought for him to come here because he had
Speaker 1: a lot of good job offers, a lot of places
Speaker 1: he could have gone, and we, at least I did.
Speaker 1: Tyler was worried that if we convinced him to come,
Speaker 1: he would be disappointed. But what ended up happened as
Speaker 1: Parker came here and just really really set the company.
Speaker 1: We were doing good, but he set us on a
Speaker 1: whole new level and set a new trajectory, which we're
Speaker 1: not We're not there yet. We have a long way
Speaker 1: to go, but we're on a great trajectory and God,
Speaker 1: thank God every day for EE Apparel during this touring
Speaker 1: shutdown when I have no other work but this and songwriting.
Speaker 1: So anyway, Parker Parker went on social media and asked
Speaker 1: questions from his Instagram, which is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a twist for this podcast. He's gonna come on right now.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna love it. He's an awesome dude.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Granger Smith Podcast. Did d my long line?
Speaker 1: Fool hup and down? Going back? Crazy coolation? All right,
Speaker 1: so you have collected questions. This is the first time
Speaker 1: somebody else has collected questions for this podcast. So Parker,
Speaker 1: you went to your Instagram and you got some questions,
Speaker 1: and this is kind of your idea for this podcast today.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let you lead it. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: through some brother questions. They're probably brother related, and since
Speaker 1: you're also closely working with me, it's also ye yee related.
Speaker 1: So what you got? Yeah, I think it's cool when
Speaker 1: people give you an idea of what's going on behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, and especially with us. I think Q and
Speaker 1: A's are so cool, especially for brands that I like.
Speaker 1: I like to hear about what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: And so I did a I just did a Q
Speaker 1: and a Instagram story and I got some some pretty
Speaker 1: entertaining questions, some pretty funny ones. I try to pick
Speaker 1: the ones that would be the most enjoyable to the listeners.
Speaker 1: So first we have what do you and your brother's
Speaker 1: bond over, especially with you being so young? And this
Speaker 1: was an interesting question because I feel like, I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of brother relationships are our relationship has
Speaker 1: kind of been the opposite of what most brother relationships are,
Speaker 1: and that like, you're usually close when you're young, and
Speaker 1: then as you get older, you get a family, and
Speaker 1: then you get a job, and then you move to
Speaker 1: a different city, and then you see your brothers on holidays. Sure,
Speaker 1: and with me being the youngest, I was basically an
Speaker 1: only child as a kid, and you were basically like
Speaker 1: an uncle to me, if I'm being honest, Like I
Speaker 1: would see you on holidays and like that's it. And
Speaker 1: so I didn't really know you that well. It sounds
Speaker 1: bad to say that, but anybody who has a big
Speaker 1: age gap with like a brother or sister kind of
Speaker 1: understands what I mean. Because you you weren't aware during
Speaker 1: your younger years when I was with you and you
Speaker 1: were a young kid. You probably don't don't even remember
Speaker 1: those days because we're thirteen years apart. So I remember
Speaker 1: you as a baby and as a toddler, and as
Speaker 1: a little kid, and as like a elementary school kid,
Speaker 1: but those are probably vague memories to you and your
Speaker 1: age of reckoning. I was off to college and making music. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was you were you like, had this job that
Speaker 1: I didn't understand. It was just what it was. It
Speaker 1: you were out doing music, and that was just People
Speaker 1: think that's it. They're like, what's it like having a
Speaker 1: brother who's a musician, And like my childhood, it was
Speaker 1: just it just seems normal. That may sound crazy, but
Speaker 1: whenever you just grow up with something and then you
Speaker 1: get older and you're like, oh, yeah, that was pretty
Speaker 1: cool or that was pretty out of the ordinary. For me,
Speaker 1: that was just normal. So anyway, back to the question,
Speaker 1: what do we bond over? When I was younger, it
Speaker 1: was just Texas A and in football, because I'd see
Speaker 1: you on I'd see you on holidays, and then our
Speaker 1: whole family my dad went to Texas A and m
Speaker 1: Grangeur went to Texas A and M, and then I
Speaker 1: ended up going there, and so my childhood was holidays
Speaker 1: watching Texas A and M play Texas and then also
Speaker 1: deer hunting because we'd usually go to our ranch and
Speaker 1: so we kind of bonded over that from a young age,
Speaker 1: and me as a child literally crying when A and
Speaker 1: M lost to Texas because we took it so seriously.
Speaker 1: What year was that, I don't know. We lost a
Speaker 1: lot when I was a kid. We had some rough years.
Speaker 1: That was two thousands, yeah, yeah, I was Dennis friend
Speaker 1: Joni terrible years. Yeah. Yeah. And then as we got
Speaker 1: older we work really yeah, and working out. We all
Speaker 1: work out together. Yeah, yeah, you working with us. I
Speaker 1: never say for us. I always correct myself it's with us,
Speaker 1: because you are pretty much in charge of your whole
Speaker 1: realm of EEE, and Tyler's in charge of his realm
Speaker 1: and I'm in charge of mine. And then we intersect daily,
Speaker 1: but it's in the scope of what we do for
Speaker 1: ee You do a lot more by yourself, and I
Speaker 1: do a lot more by myself, and Tyler is a
Speaker 1: lot more by himself than we do intersecting. But we
Speaker 1: intersect daily, two or three times a day. In fact,
Speaker 1: we've been on zoom calls today already twice today over
Speaker 1: two completely different things, and it's like, oh, there's Parker.
Speaker 1: And your role has also changed since Tyler's out of
Speaker 1: town with the Bachelorette, your role has increased. But yeah,
Speaker 1: to say we bond over work is saying it lightly,
Speaker 1: because I mean my office is here, your office is
Speaker 1: too over there, and we see each other every single day,
Speaker 1: especially me not being on tour. So yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: That segues into the next question, which was how many
Speaker 1: people work at EE Apparel and how's it grown stage
Speaker 1: by stage. I'll go over this. I'll give you the
Speaker 1: short answer because I think I covered this a little
Speaker 1: bit in the last episode that I was in. But
Speaker 1: it's a cool story, and I don't think people heard.
Speaker 1: I don't remember if you said this last time, But
Speaker 1: where Ye Apparel was at before, it was Ye Apparel
Speaker 1: with just you and Amber shipping out of your garage.
Speaker 1: Originally you were just an artist selling shirts and we're
Speaker 1: in you were shipping them yourself, right, Yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was you and Amber out of that garage before that,
Speaker 1: Mom was shipping some stuff. Yeah, hey mom, somebody bought
Speaker 1: a CD his name is Bob George and here's here's
Speaker 1: his address, let me write it down for you. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: we gotta sale. We got to sale today. So twenty
Speaker 1: eleven hits and then Earl Divilis Junior comes around and
Speaker 1: Tyler's acting as manager for you. And then also Tyler
Speaker 1: kind of takes over the ordering of the apparel and
Speaker 1: kind of takes over the management of the apparel side,
Speaker 1: which was at the time just buy shirts with Earl
Speaker 1: Divilis Junior's face on them and sell them. And we
Speaker 1: did that for a while, but it wasn't yee wasn't
Speaker 1: its own brand. It was it was just sell them
Speaker 1: on the Granger Smith store and you just also had
Speaker 1: ye stuff there and so kind of what my my
Speaker 1: job was to So that was like that was like
Speaker 1: from twenty twelve. That was probably like four years of
Speaker 1: that if Tyler trying to do both right, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then Tyler with one other person shipping and then handling
Speaker 1: customer service and returns and exchanges and stuff. And then
Speaker 1: I went to Texas A and M and then graduated,
Speaker 1: and then my job was to come in and sell
Speaker 1: EEE Energy, which I talked about a little bit before.
Speaker 1: And Ye energy drinks. Were talking about this the other day.
Speaker 1: Energy drinks are just very difficult for startup brands like
Speaker 1: we were because they're so heavy, they're really expensive to ship,
Speaker 1: and you just it's just really hard to be successful
Speaker 1: as a small business selling energy drinks. And we couldn't
Speaker 1: get them into stores because at the time, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that the best way to do that was to
Speaker 1: connect with a sales rep who actually knows the owners
Speaker 1: of Tom Thumb and HB and Shell gas station and
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And so I realized that time
Speaker 1: that that was going to be an uphill battle, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, well, these shirts are
Speaker 1: selling really well, and these hats are selling really well,
Speaker 1: and so then I just began to look at how
Speaker 1: do we increase the quality of these products so that
Speaker 1: we can grow the apparel side, and and over time
Speaker 1: very slowly. If you bought a hat or shirt from
Speaker 1: us in like from twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, god
Speaker 1: bless you, because I mean, we were them and we
Speaker 1: liked them, and at the time they were good. But
Speaker 1: looking back now, it was it's just almost humorous how
Speaker 1: much we didn't know what we were doing in the
Speaker 1: quality of them. Hey, speak for yourself. I still have
Speaker 1: some of those hats and shirts. They're awesome. They call
Speaker 1: them ogs. Yeah, it's just that that's a world that's
Speaker 1: it's just a big learning curve and you just you
Speaker 1: don't know what you don't know. And so so I
Speaker 1: came in and saw I just slowly started building up
Speaker 1: the quality of the product and the shirts and the
Speaker 1: hats and trying to meet the people that I needed
Speaker 1: to meet to hit the standards that we needed to hit.
Speaker 1: And then that was like twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: to nineteen where we just slowly got better and then
Speaker 1: and that was still just me in our least office
Speaker 1: in Huddo, Texas, and we had one other person shipping
Speaker 1: and handling returns in exchanges. And then two thousand, i'd say,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, like these last two
Speaker 1: years have been where we've really shifted to think bigger
Speaker 1: and I've just modeled what I've seen some other brands
Speaker 1: do in that it's like, Okay, you create collections based
Speaker 1: on the type of year it is, in the season
Speaker 1: that it is, so we create, you know, a spring
Speaker 1: collection and then a summer collection and then a fall
Speaker 1: collection and then have products that actually like portray like
Speaker 1: what you'd be doing that time of the year, Like
Speaker 1: Spring's going to be rider colors and like have fishing,
Speaker 1: and then fall was going to be like camo and
Speaker 1: hunting stuff. And so it's just slowly evolved from that
Speaker 1: to people asking me a lot. It was there like
Speaker 1: a certain point, like a certain shift, or like a
Speaker 1: big moment for EE Apparel that was like a cornerstone
Speaker 1: of the business. And I'd say I'd say this last
Speaker 1: April when we did EE Day, which was Tyler's idea,
Speaker 1: which was to celebrate celebrate the day that we trademark
Speaker 1: EE or that was it the day, Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: the day we trade marked it, right, And so we
Speaker 1: bought a bunch of exclusive products that were only going
Speaker 1: to be available that day, and we were like this day,
Speaker 1: this time, this stuff is going to release, and we
Speaker 1: got a cool countdown clock on the website and then
Speaker 1: we sold out of everything in like like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: You were on Instagram Live talking about it and I
Speaker 1: was like, dude, we're already out of everything. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: hang up the phone, hang up the phone. Yeah. In
Speaker 1: thee because I'm like, everybody, go to EE Apparel at
Speaker 1: EE day, make sure you get this. We've got a
Speaker 1: big sale. And you come in there and you're like,
Speaker 1: hang up the phone, hang up the phone, the sales over.
Speaker 1: We're sold out of everything. Yes, So we we were
Speaker 1: not expecting that at all, and that was the day
Speaker 1: when we sat back and we're like, holy calic, I
Speaker 1: think I think this could be really big. Uh. And
Speaker 1: so that kind of leads us to where we are
Speaker 1: now with h We have a lot of people are
Speaker 1: curious as to like who our employees are. So you
Speaker 1: and Tyler I categorize as owners. You still have you
Speaker 1: still have a lot of say in like what products
Speaker 1: we make and like the type of designs that we
Speaker 1: do and that sort of thing. But when it comes
Speaker 1: to the day to day operations, I handle the day
Speaker 1: to day and kind of oversee what we call the
Speaker 1: EE brand side, and then the other side of the
Speaker 1: EE Farm office is EE Distribution, which, for people who
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, basically, it's just employees shipping
Speaker 1: the product out to you guys at home, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people have paid somebody else to do that.
Speaker 1: But we just always wanted to do it ourselves because
Speaker 1: nobody does it. If you want to do something right,
Speaker 1: you do yourself. And I know that you and Tyler
Speaker 1: had a lot of issues with other people shipping your
Speaker 1: stuff for you, and so we like it because we
Speaker 1: can do awesome like Camo boxes and Camo polymailers and
Speaker 1: the bags that they're shipped in are all custom yee
Speaker 1: branded and so they look cool. And so we have
Speaker 1: on the brand side, we have myself overseeing operations, Hayden,
Speaker 1: who handles all of our marketing. And if you are
Speaker 1: if you're a big enough support to watch this podcast,
Speaker 1: you are likely in the ee Nation Facebook group, and
Speaker 1: if you're not, you should check it out and you'll
Speaker 1: probably know Hayden from that where he's always talking about
Speaker 1: new products and what we're releasing and keeping everybody. He
Speaker 1: does an awesome job of just keeping the conversation going
Speaker 1: between the brand and the people in EE Nation. And
Speaker 1: Maddie handles all of our on the distribution side. Maddie
Speaker 1: handles all of our customer service and our returns and exchanges.
Speaker 1: So many time you ever return something to us, that's
Speaker 1: Maddie dealing with her. If you email us, it's Maddie
Speaker 1: it's not somebody in another country, and she's amazing. And
Speaker 1: then Caleb, who handles all of our warehouse. He's our
Speaker 1: warehouse manager, so he handles incoming inventory, outgoing inventory, day
Speaker 1: to day shipping and keeping track of everything in that warehouse,
Speaker 1: which is a full time job. And Caleb as an
Speaker 1: old drummer of mine. Yeah, he was my drummer from
Speaker 1: about two thousand and nine to about twenty thirteen when
Speaker 1: Dusty came in and Caleb essentially retired and started working
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, and he's been he's been awesome for
Speaker 1: that role. Yeah, he's been really good and he's he's hilarious.
Speaker 1: So if you guys follow e Apparent on Instagram, you'll
Speaker 1: see him on our story. Whenever we do behind the
Speaker 1: scenes of what's going on here, you may see Caleb
Speaker 1: saying some joke, Caleb Kelly. Yeah. And so Caleb is
Speaker 1: our whareouse manager. And those are all the salaried employees,
Speaker 1: and then we have anywhere from five to fifteen hourly
Speaker 1: employees that come in and help ship during during launches,
Speaker 1: and so usually we're just texting. I'm literally going through
Speaker 1: every contact in my phone, like our next launch is
Speaker 1: September eighteenth. So it's kind of calm right now, and
Speaker 1: we're already I need to I need to get like
Speaker 1: ten to twelve more people by September eighteenth to help out.
Speaker 1: Is that a offer a job offer you're making on
Speaker 1: this podcast? A comment below? I want to work for
Speaker 1: EE Apparel? Yeah, but if you're interested in working hourly
Speaker 1: and you're in the Georgetown, Texas area, you can email
Speaker 1: me Parker at eeapparel dot com. And yeah, dangerous moove,
Speaker 1: you just made bold. Yeah, so that's kind of where
Speaker 1: we are now. I think that sums it up. That
Speaker 1: was kind of a long answer, but I think it's
Speaker 1: I love talking about the progression. I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of cool. Yeah. A lot of people ask where do
Speaker 1: you see yourself in ten years, five to ten years,
Speaker 1: and what's the goal of EEE. Grangeer and I were
Speaker 1: just talking about this the other day, that the idea
Speaker 1: of goal setting in general. I've always been somebody who
Speaker 1: likes to map out and visualize exactly where we're going
Speaker 1: to be in ten years. And why don't you explain
Speaker 1: to them your goal strategy. Yeah, I like to set
Speaker 1: instead of setting goals, specific goals, I like to set
Speaker 1: intentions and so strive for an intention. So if your
Speaker 1: intention is to grow this brand as big as it
Speaker 1: can be, and strive every day to meet that intention,
Speaker 1: day by day by day by day by day, hour
Speaker 1: by hour, minute by minute, and it's a continual thing.
Speaker 1: Because I believe there's a little bit of danger and
Speaker 1: I think there's nothing wrong with setting specific goals. But
Speaker 1: you so, we'll use ee Apparel for example. So you say, well,
Speaker 1: in five years, we want EEE Apparel to have quadrupled
Speaker 1: in growth. Okay, so that's a specific goal, and you
Speaker 1: put it on a blackboard and you monitor it. But
Speaker 1: if you didn't set your intention first and foremost for
Speaker 1: EEEE brand to grow as much as it could, then
Speaker 1: you just missed the opportunity that perhaps ee Apparel actually
Speaker 1: is not going to quadruple in five years. Actuallyyee Apparel
Speaker 1: is going to spin off into EEE Whiskey, and then
Speaker 1: that suddenly is going to become a massive company that
Speaker 1: completely swallows up apparel and we end up not even
Speaker 1: selling hats at all. So it's impossible sometimes to see
Speaker 1: those kind of things, and you could get blindsided by
Speaker 1: onment or you could be blinded in the general sense
Speaker 1: of Okay, we're gonna, we're gonna. We're in the apparel
Speaker 1: business and we're going full steam ahead to get to
Speaker 1: our goal, which is quadrupling in five years, and you
Speaker 1: haven't mapped out, and then you missed the chance that
Speaker 1: Ee Whiskey was going to take you. And I'm just
Speaker 1: completely mad. There is no Ee Whiskey in production at
Speaker 1: all right now. But I've just using that as a
Speaker 1: as a random example of how look at me ten
Speaker 1: years ago. And if I would have said, well, my
Speaker 1: goal is to get a record deal and to have
Speaker 1: songs on the radio and and to grow musically and
Speaker 1: touring wise, if I had set that exact goal, I
Speaker 1: would have missed the opportunity to come up with a
Speaker 1: YouTube channel that had Earl Doubles, Junior and the Smiths,
Speaker 1: and which completely is the reason that we spun off
Speaker 1: into EE Apparel. We might I'd have missed that whole
Speaker 1: thing if I was only focused on a specific goal
Speaker 1: of music. So, like I said, there's nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: setting goals. It's healthy. But at the same time, don't
Speaker 1: make that your god. Don't make that your idol where
Speaker 1: you look at a blackboard and you go man, we're slipping,
Speaker 1: We're we're not at the exact number I want it
Speaker 1: to be. You can't miss the opportunity that might be
Speaker 1: in front of you, and so instead set your intentions
Speaker 1: higher than your goals, even though on the team, I
Speaker 1: do like to have someone like you that actually have
Speaker 1: specific goals, because then I walk in and go, how
Speaker 1: are are we on a goal? And you go, actually,
Speaker 1: we doubled it, which is usually what happens. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: a good mix of line by line analytical thinkers, being
Speaker 1: myself and Hayden a little bit more on the business side,
Speaker 1: and then you and Tyler, who are more of the
Speaker 1: dreamers and ready to pivot and stay open minded. That
Speaker 1: transitions nicely to before you say that too, let me
Speaker 1: just say, let me use a grit a even better
Speaker 1: example than Earl Dobbles for me fifteen years ago. If
Speaker 1: I would have said the goal is to get a
Speaker 1: record deal and to get a number one song on
Speaker 1: the radio. If that was my goal, I would have
Speaker 1: lived in Nashville. I would have done nothing but make
Speaker 1: demos and pitched them to record companies relentlessly until somebody
Speaker 1: finally said yes. But instead my goal was to grow
Speaker 1: my music. My intention, excuse me, was to groll my
Speaker 1: music as big as it could be, day by day,
Speaker 1: minute by minute, hour by hour, and that ended up
Speaker 1: making me stay independent, no record deal, no major radio play,
Speaker 1: but continue to cultivate a underground cult following almost with
Speaker 1: no record deal and no major radio play. And that
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been ever have been a goal. Like if
Speaker 1: you had got me when I was eighteen and said
Speaker 1: write down a goal, I never would have said, stay independent,
Speaker 1: create a cult following in Texas without major radio play.
Speaker 1: I've been like, whoa, wha, Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: That's an example of setting an attention. What's one thing
Speaker 1: that Grangeer and Tyler have done that inspired you that?
Speaker 1: Growing up? I was you and Tyler were never going
Speaker 1: you wouldn't make it a day in an office, and
Speaker 1: I was always okay being when I was in college,
Speaker 1: I was always okay with the corporate lifestyle and being
Speaker 1: in the nine to five, and I was kind of
Speaker 1: attracted to that, just like I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: twenty one year old guys are that you know, idea
Speaker 1: of like wearing the suit, and to me, it was
Speaker 1: wearing a suit and making money and working your way
Speaker 1: up a ladder, and that was appealing to me personally,
Speaker 1: and it was always crazy to me that you and
Speaker 1: Tyler were okay with just taking this huge risk of
Speaker 1: just One of the other questions was do you have
Speaker 1: any childhood stories of you Grangeer and Tyler? And a
Speaker 1: lot of my childhood like some of the craziest childhood
Speaker 1: stories were me being in the back of this van
Speaker 1: back when there was back when there was just a
Speaker 1: couple of people that would come to your shows and
Speaker 1: we would I would get to go on tour, like
Speaker 1: for the weekend with my brother and like no one knew,
Speaker 1: like Parker's going, what are you doing this weekend? I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm going to like I'm going to like
Speaker 1: Oklahoma with no it was definitely in Texas because you
Speaker 1: were mostly in Texas at the time. Oklahoma dates, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, We're going somewhere
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma and Granger is going to play some shows
Speaker 1: and being in the back of this van with all
Speaker 1: these with all these guys that were seems so old
Speaker 1: to me at the time. I was probably like thirteen
Speaker 1: or fourteen being in the back of this van and
Speaker 1: like everybody taking turns driving through the night and like
Speaker 1: these bunk beds that you'all built in the back of
Speaker 1: this van and stopping at a gas station to get
Speaker 1: your dinner for the night, and just like me going
Speaker 1: in and like asking I would ask granger, be like
Speaker 1: can I have can I have like ten dollars? Give
Speaker 1: me some money? I go and like get lunchables and
Speaker 1: like a like a gatorade and like some cookies and
Speaker 1: like like from like a shell gas station. I was like,
Speaker 1: do you just do this like every weekend? And they
Speaker 1: did go and eat and then they'd like put on
Speaker 1: a movie in the front and be watching like die
Speaker 1: Hard at like three o'clock in the morning, like on
Speaker 1: like a Thursday night. It's like, what are you called doing?
Speaker 1: Like how do we people do this? We became masters
Speaker 1: of eating a complete meal from a gas station convenience store.
Speaker 1: We became we became masters and not not just like
Speaker 1: chips and you know the hot dog. We actually would
Speaker 1: could get like a complete meal, yeah, in a gas station.
Speaker 1: And that was dinner because everything would be closed at
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning when we leave the club.
Speaker 1: The entire town wherever we were, the little town would
Speaker 1: be closed, so I just had to hit the next
Speaker 1: truck stop. They would all put their driver's license, and
Speaker 1: I was too young to drive, so I always felt
Speaker 1: guilty that I got to sleep through the night. But
Speaker 1: they would all put their driver's license in a in
Speaker 1: somebody's hand and then mix them up, and then they'd
Speaker 1: draw them to see what shit if they would be
Speaker 1: driving that night and there'd be a driver and then
Speaker 1: there'd be like a co pilot who would have to
Speaker 1: stay awake with them in the front seat while everybody
Speaker 1: else slept. And yeah, what a weird time. That seems
Speaker 1: like a dream to me now and I can't believe
Speaker 1: y'all did that. Let me take a quick break, be
Speaker 1: right back. Do you have any tattoos? I did not
Speaker 1: have any tattoos. Are you gonna get any more? Do
Speaker 1: you plan on getting? I definitely will I have. I'ld
Speaker 1: get one. I'd probably get one on my arm. I'd
Speaker 1: want to get something like for our grandfather, like a
Speaker 1: like an old Those of you who no granger know
Speaker 1: that our grandfather was a B twenty four bomber pilot
Speaker 1: in World War Two, and I always thought it'd be
Speaker 1: cool to get like an old b twenty four or
Speaker 1: something like that. And I always like, I always thought
Speaker 1: it was cool when like brothers or sisters get like
Speaker 1: the same tattoo, So it's like you're all marked with
Speaker 1: the same with the same thing. I'll do it be
Speaker 1: twenty four. You gotta find the design. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: would get one. One thing that's funny about tattoos is
Speaker 1: is after you get the first one, how easy it
Speaker 1: is to just get the next one. And so I
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like I would just get like
Speaker 1: a whole sleeve. You might. You might Christally or a
Speaker 1: tour manager. He had none and then now he's pretty
Speaker 1: much got his whole armful just after one with just
Speaker 1: a few years. I'm not a big fan of the
Speaker 1: color though, I like it. I like it just black. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got you'll hold you to it on this podcast,
Speaker 1: We'll hold you to it. I'll get more. I have
Speaker 1: some ideas. They always have to mean something deep and
Speaker 1: long lasting. Yeah, yeah, I hope. So it's going to
Speaker 1: be with you forever. Yee cowboy hat or boots question
Speaker 1: mark man? Could I just say this hat him wearing
Speaker 1: is my favorite hat we've ever done. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: it's not an ee cowboy hat, but for those of
Speaker 1: y'all watching, that is yeah, for the YouTube audience, he
Speaker 1: actually gets to see it. This is brand new. Parker
Speaker 1: gave it to me yesterday because it's in our fall collection. Right, Yeah, gosh,
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, September eighteenth, that one, and then
Speaker 1: you'll see Grangeer wearing a camo one with a flag
Speaker 1: on it. And those of you who watched the Smith's
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, the other one, the other camo one that
Speaker 1: he showed last night, will be in the fall collection.
Speaker 1: So they're asking eeee cowboy hat or boots, as if
Speaker 1: that's a choice that we're going to make, asking if
Speaker 1: we're going to make either of those. Okay, well what
Speaker 1: about boots because that's kind of been in the works
Speaker 1: for years now. Yeah, we were going to do combat
Speaker 1: boots for a while and and we just I still
Speaker 1: have them and I still think they would do well.
Speaker 1: I still think they're awesome. Those of you who have
Speaker 1: seen what my office looks like, I got a combat
Speaker 1: boot in there. That was a sample. But we did
Speaker 1: finally confirm production of a pair of work square toe
Speaker 1: cowboy boots leather. Oh yeah, so those will be hopefully
Speaker 1: everything's kind of behind in COVID, but there's an awesome
Speaker 1: factory in Mexico that is cranking those out right now.
Speaker 1: We're hoping to have them buy by Holidays. Cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do know that. It's awesome. Yeah, and you are
Speaker 1: very particular about your boots, and you were very skeptical
Speaker 1: when we got the sample and I was like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: yeah and no, but then you put it on and
Speaker 1: you were like these are awesome. Yeah. Yeah, So I'm
Speaker 1: really excited about that. There you get rubber souls. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're they're a synthetic. It's like a good mix between
Speaker 1: like the the what is it, the genuine leather that
Speaker 1: wears down, yeah, a lot, and then the rubber which
Speaker 1: kind of stands out and it's like fake. There's we
Speaker 1: got like a middle ground between that, so like the
Speaker 1: color blends really nicely, but it's not gonna wear down.
Speaker 1: You won't have to get a replaced after six months.
Speaker 1: It's gonna last forever. Cool Cowboy hats, No, I don't
Speaker 1: have a contact for cowboy hats, and that's cab mad hat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's possible if we get enough people interested in cowboy hats.
Speaker 1: We do have a guy. But that's you know, that's
Speaker 1: that's like, you can't just an apparel company, can't just
Speaker 1: come out with a cowboy hat. I mean, because that's
Speaker 1: you got to have so many different sizes and it
Speaker 1: would have to all be custom ordered. And you know,
Speaker 1: a good cowboy hat is not the and you get
Speaker 1: at a gas station. A good cowboy hat is made
Speaker 1: of good material fitted to your head. And so I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to just put out some trash that's like
Speaker 1: a trinket tourist attraction cowboy hat. I would. I would
Speaker 1: if we did it, it would need to be good,
Speaker 1: and to do it good, I just don't know if
Speaker 1: we have the resources right now that if this warehouse
Speaker 1: is even big enough to hold all the different sizes,
Speaker 1: it would have to be custom then you would order
Speaker 1: it and it would take six months to come in.
Speaker 1: So that's going to take a lot of thought and
Speaker 1: a lot of people would have to be really interested
Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, that segues into one of the questions,
Speaker 1: which was who comes up with the designs and what's
Speaker 1: your general business model? Like how do you keep up
Speaker 1: with inventory? And we've grown so much. I used to
Speaker 1: come up with the designs Granger used to come up
Speaker 1: with the designs and we would just have an idea
Speaker 1: for it, and then we'd send it to send it
Speaker 1: to our different vendors who make the shirts for us,
Speaker 1: and they print them on the shirts for us here
Speaker 1: in the US. And I'm just we've gotten to the
Speaker 1: point where we're doing all these launches and we have
Speaker 1: so many different types of products that like, I can't
Speaker 1: do that anymore. So I actually recently got in touch
Speaker 1: with the manufacturer who does who does Patagonia, north Face,
Speaker 1: Calvin Klein, Tommy Hill Figure like they do the big boys,
Speaker 1: and so I'm super excited because basically what they do
Speaker 1: is you approach them and I'll be like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: looking for ideas for our Fall twenty twenty one launch.
Speaker 1: I'm looking to do four hats, five men's shirts, five
Speaker 1: men's hoodies, five women's hoodies, and five women's shirts. And
Speaker 1: then I give them the general gist of our brand,
Speaker 1: like I just had a call the other day, and
Speaker 1: you tell them your brand story and types of brands
Speaker 1: that you're similar to, and then they have a whole
Speaker 1: design team that puts together like a whole pitch and
Speaker 1: portfolio for you and then we go in and we're
Speaker 1: like yes, yes, yes, and then we have the final
Speaker 1: say and we adjust it and more like no, no, no, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Lots of those probably yeah, yes, So I'm really excited
Speaker 1: for that. Is there jealousy or resentment among the brothers?
Speaker 1: A lot of people ask that, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: It's really not. Uh no, we're just different. We're three,
Speaker 1: three brothers that are different. And we're not an original story.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk to most siblings, they're just
Speaker 1: you know, you get some siblings that are very very similar.
Speaker 1: They like everything the same, they they dress exactly the same.
Speaker 1: But we're but most siblings I know are not like that.
Speaker 1: There's usually it's come out of the same mom and dad.
Speaker 1: But they look, they they talk and dress and do
Speaker 1: different jobs. And that's kind of how we do. And
Speaker 1: we're we're different people, but we have the same moral
Speaker 1: values and we align with our our beliefs in country
Speaker 1: and when I say country, nationalism and outdoors and God
Speaker 1: and family. We align on those things. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to other things like getting on the stage and
Speaker 1: entertaining or playing guitar, that's just me. You guys don't
Speaker 1: have that desire at all, and there's things Tyler does
Speaker 1: like tyler'sn't all into real estate and does that on
Speaker 1: the side, I have no desire for that. You go
Speaker 1: out and play golf. Me and Tyler don't play golf
Speaker 1: at all, but you go out. How often do you
Speaker 1: go play? I go every day. You go every day?
Speaker 1: And you play piano? How often every day? Every day?
Speaker 1: You play piano and play golf. Those are two things
Speaker 1: that me and Tyler like. I dabble in piano. I
Speaker 1: get I could write songs on piano, but that's it.
Speaker 1: So we all have our things. Like Tyler's out checking
Speaker 1: traps on codies right now. He loves trapping predators and
Speaker 1: loves he loves managing deer like he loves managing white
Speaker 1: tailed deer more than he does shooting a deer way
Speaker 1: because he works year round managing and feeding and trappid codies.
Speaker 1: And me and you just kind of roll in and
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and get what we can. So yeah, we're just
Speaker 1: we're different, but in a good way. We're different in
Speaker 1: good ways, so there's no jealousy. Yeah, I like to saying,
Speaker 1: you know, the more stable your upbringing is, and the
Speaker 1: more the more you have parents who encourage you to
Speaker 1: do whatever you're passionate about, the more different you're going
Speaker 1: to become. And so we all have this exactly like
Speaker 1: you just said. We're all grounded in the same like
Speaker 1: fundamental values, but we all are are very different in
Speaker 1: our hobbies. I don't think any of us even share
Speaker 1: one hobby except for working out and just fitness. And
Speaker 1: we've all had things that we've done, like Tyler, Tyler
Speaker 1: played Division I college football. You went into the core
Speaker 1: at A and M and try it out and got
Speaker 1: complete complete control of the Texas A and M mascot
Speaker 1: readily the dog the American Collie, which is very difficult
Speaker 1: to do. What you to defeat the odds of being
Speaker 1: the guy that's the mascot handler at a major university.
Speaker 1: So those are things that seem untouchable to me, getting
Speaker 1: the mascot or playing Division in college football. But but
Speaker 1: I can get up on a stage in front of
Speaker 1: a bunch of people and sing songs and you guys
Speaker 1: have no desire to do that. So yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 1: Who's easier to work with? Granger or Tyler? Choose your
Speaker 1: words wisely. You are easier to than Tyler Tyler's Tyler
Speaker 1: is h he's not He's not difficult to work with.
Speaker 1: But if I have to choose, then Granger is more
Speaker 1: agreeable and Tyler is, uh, Tyler. How do you describe
Speaker 1: Tyler's Tyler. Yeah, he's a stubborn. He's stubborn and hard headed,
Speaker 1: which is why how he got where he is and
Speaker 1: how he built the brand in Granger's career where it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can leave it at that. He's the most stubborn guy.
Speaker 1: I know. It's not a bad thing necessarily some days
Speaker 1: that you know, there's moments when it's bad, but as
Speaker 1: a whole that Tyler's Tyler Man, He's Tyler is one
Speaker 1: of the most unique humans I've ever met. He's he's different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not in a bad way. He's just he's uh, he's
Speaker 1: a one percenter yah, his own way. Yeah. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be really funny to watch him on the Bachelorette and
Speaker 1: see his personality. Uh, it's gonna be fun and everybody
Speaker 1: who watches it, that's that is listening to us right now.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, oh yeah, I kind of get it,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, who would win in a race? Tyler?
Speaker 1: Tyler definitely. Tyler's the fastest. That's why he played Division
Speaker 1: college football. I remember the day that he I was
Speaker 1: always kind of fast. Were you fast in high school?
Speaker 1: In junior high? No, I wouldn't know. I was always
Speaker 1: a fast runner. If I remember the day when he
Speaker 1: challenged me to a race and beat me. And that
Speaker 1: was like I was probably sixteen and he was probably thirteen,
Speaker 1: and I was like, ooh, there he goes. And it
Speaker 1: never never ended. And I remember one time, I'll never
Speaker 1: ever forget this, but I was playing soccer on a
Speaker 1: soccer like a wreck soccer team with a bunch of friends,
Speaker 1: and our goalie got hurt. And I was about fifteen
Speaker 1: years old. Our goalie gets hurt, Tyler is about twelve,
Speaker 1: and Tyler's on the sideline and literally and he played
Speaker 1: competitive soccer in his own right. He literally suited up.
Speaker 1: Did you know this story? Okay, Tyler suits up as
Speaker 1: a twelve year old, goes out there and we're like
Speaker 1: we don't have a goalie, and Tyler's like, I got it,
Speaker 1: and they're they're like this kid, this little kid, dude,
Speaker 1: he comes in and just destroyed it. No one could
Speaker 1: score on him. And he was back there just wearing
Speaker 1: it out against all these like older teenagers, and everyone
Speaker 1: was like, who is your brother? This is unbelievable. He's
Speaker 1: just tearing up these these kids. No one could score
Speaker 1: was I was so proud. He's always been very athletically inclined.
Speaker 1: You're literally scrolling for questions. Yeah, I'm looking through you
Speaker 1: see if there's any other good ones. How many questions
Speaker 1: did you get? I didn't count. I got more than
Speaker 1: I thought it would though. What's your Instagram so people
Speaker 1: could follow you? Parker double underscore Smith. So after the
Speaker 1: Bachelorette comes out and Tyler might get that blue check,
Speaker 1: you'll be the brother without the blue check? Yeah, make
Speaker 1: you mad so pissed? Man? If I could just get
Speaker 1: that blue check and then I'd be happy. Boy, That's
Speaker 1: that's true happiness. Man. Then I'll have made it. Blue
Speaker 1: check on Instagram is true happiness. Bubba mm hmmm. Are
