Yeah, because a lot of 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: times they if they're massive and we sit for an hour, 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: they're very guarded and eventually I can crack it and 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: we get places. But Tiers just came in and felt 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: comfortable and we're doing the interview, I guess we're just talking. 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: My brother in law's in the room while we were 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: doing this because they were in town, and he had 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: said to me, you have an interesting interview style that 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: I've never seen before.

Because you're 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: just talking about you have the microphone in your hand 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: down low, and then all of a sudden you just 22 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: bring it up and it just rolls into the interview. 23 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: And he said, I think that just makes everybody feel 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: like the conversation is just still going. And now you 25 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: just pulled a microphone up.

There was 111 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: there was never a moment where something was the same. 112 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, do you? It's crazy. 113 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: It's hard for me to hear audio or watch a 114 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: comedian because that is what I'm doing all the time 115 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: I'm out of the telling jokes are working like this, 116 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: So if I hear audio, I'm always like, Okay, I 117 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: wonder what went into that or how they write that joke. 118 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: When you're watching her do this show, are you also 119 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: paying attention to all the things like the set, the piece, 120 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: and you're like, man, this is look at the elaborate 121 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: details they've put into certain aspects of the show. Yeah, 122 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: like physically because you're just so involved in it yourself. 123 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean, and we also, like, I 124 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: use the same music director that Taylor does, This guy 125 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: named David Cook. We started work on them like five 126 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: years ago, so I mean David was working on this 127 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: tailor show for like seven months. What does that mean? 128 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: Music director? 129 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: So he kind of comes in and like if there's 130 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: a new record coming out, and he takes all the 131 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: stems from the record, all the stems from the old record, 132 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: and make sure that whatever the band is like not 133 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: playing but still needs to be coming through the speakers 134 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: is like all mixed, all perfect perfectionist of like set 135 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: list transitions. If you're taking like an older hit but 136 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: you want to make it sound jazz, or you want 137 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: to make it sound like he goes in and kind 138 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: of just redials all the songs, and so he put 139 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: that three and a half hour tailor's show together, and 140 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: so like we rehearse for a month, and I feel 141 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: like we're pretty dialed. I can't imagine rehearsing for seven months, 142 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: But when you see the show, you're. 143 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: Like, they reharse for seven months. 144 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I think. So that is so like the band will 145 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: do a month and a half, the crew will do 146 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: a month, production will do a month, and then they'll 147 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: do full on everybody for a month, you know what 148 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean? 149 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: That show that you were asked, the one that rained 150 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: right really hard and she kept playing. Yeah, what's the rule? 151 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: Not her rule, because I guess it all depends on 152 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: what you have about on the stage. Yeah, what's the 153 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 2: rule when you're playing on rain? Obviously, if that lightning 154 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: is you got to get off the stage. 155 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: And it's like if there's like lightning within eight miles, 156 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: I think you have to wait thirty minutes. 157 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: But what about if it's just raining really hard, like 158 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: how much of your stuff can actually get ruined? 159 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: I guess it depends on how much of it is 160 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: like out in the rain, because I mean festivals, you 161 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: know there's a big top or whatever, and even at 162 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: amphitheaters you have a you're covered, you know what I'm saying. So, 163 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: I mean if you're getting like directly rained on, I 164 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: guess your microphone could kind of crap out if it 165 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: got like really soaking wet. But I mean hard rain 166 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: you can play through. Is just when it gets kind 167 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: of dicey because we just don't want you're just slowing 168 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: over my river? Yeah, got it? So literal stuff, Yeah, 169 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean like maybe ten miles an hour, fifteen miles 170 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: an hours, okay, but you start getting into like forteen 171 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: fifteen miles an hours kind of sketch. 172 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: Have you ever lost equipment because of rain and you're like, god, 173 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: dang man, that's it's soaked, or do you want to 174 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: start trying to do just kind of back up underneath 175 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: d of the backgar for a little bit. Yeah, it's 176 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: been pretty prevalent the last couple of months where weather 177 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: has moved or canceled more than I've ever seen. 178 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: It's insane, especially like in Nashville, Like I've never experienced 179 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: this kind of weather in my life. But even like 180 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: we're this is the first summer we've ever done arenas, 181 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: so like, we haven't had to worry about that, but 182 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: we did have to cancel the show in Bozer City 183 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: because remember when the windstorm came through Nashville and like 184 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: everybody lost power, the same thing happened in about your 185 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: city and the building didn't have power that we're supposed 186 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: to play in like five days. So it's like, I 187 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: didn't think it was possible to have to cancel an 188 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: arena show until this year. So we haven't gotten to 189 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: We haven't had an issue with the weather because we're 190 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: all indoors, but I've seen multiple folks getting rained out, 191 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: lightninged out, winded out. It's a super weird year for weather. 192 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: How's the arena feel for you? 193 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: I love it? Man. 194 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: What's the difference for you in an arena and a 195 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: large amphitheater that holds basically the same amount of people. 196 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: Arenas are going to be bigger for the most part, 197 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: but you'll get into like what's the vibe, what's the 198 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: what's the vibe difference? 199 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting because there's a lot of people 200 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: that were like, it's really strange to do an arena 201 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: tour in the summer because I think everybody a lot 202 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: of fans are creatures of habit, you know what I mean, 203 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: Like if you live in Dallas, like you go to 204 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: dose SECI's Pavilion. If you live in Houston, you go 205 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: to the Woodlands. And so this weekend we played where 206 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: the Mavericks play in Dallas and then we played at 207 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: the Toyota Center in Houston, and you can kind of 208 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: tell that, Like I'll I think people felt sort of 209 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: like what are we doing? Like we never come here 210 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: for these type of shows. But there's something about an 211 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: arena that, like when an arena is packed out, like 212 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: those people have made a plan in advance to be there, 213 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like. 214 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,239 Speaker 2: They are there because they have specific seats. 215 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: Too specific seats, I think sometimes like in an amp, 216 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean a lot. I mean, everybody plans to come, 217 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: but it could be the day of and you could 218 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: sell twenty five hundred three thousand tickets just on the 219 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: on the grass because it's something to do outside like 220 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: an arena. An arena tour is a very dedicated like 221 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: fan thing. 222 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: That's why I feel when not because I'll i'll only 223 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: do theaters when I do stand up and sometimes you'll 224 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: get a place going, hey, we have like a comedy 225 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: club that situation or a general emission. But because I'm 226 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: so insecure and just completely unsure of myself, I need 227 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: that person to be in a chair and in the 228 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: theater focused forward, where if they get up and walk out, 229 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: it's going to interrupt everybody. So maybe like I won't 230 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: get up like and it's a bit different, but it's 231 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: also the same where like I, if they're coming to 232 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: a theater show, there's a dedication of they're here to sit, 233 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: they got the ticket the time, and now they're here, 234 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: and so yeah, and what I meant. Arenas are obviously 235 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: way bigger than amphitheaters, but there's the occasional ampitheater that's massive, 236 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: And I just wonder what that vibe difference is. One 237 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: time I played an arena, not not your capacity because 238 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: you're superstar, I'm idiot, but there's a we were on 239 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: a stage. It was turning a circle the whole time. 240 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: I got so dizzy that it's so strange. 241 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: I know, and it was dark and I never knew 242 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: where I was. 243 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: That's what the Houston Rodeo does. 244 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: That's that was I played the Austin Rodeo and the 245 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: whole time this I did. I never knew where I 246 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 2: was right because it was spinning and it was also dark, 247 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: which I wanted to be dark because then I'm I 248 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: get insecuted about seats that aren't filled and I'm a wreck. 249 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: But I just remember going, I don't know where I am. Yeah, 250 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 2: you ever be on a spin and stage like that? 251 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: Only at the Houston Rodeo. It's it's a very it's 252 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: a I mean the road it was really cool, but 253 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: it's like you never I never really know when to 254 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: like walk off and like do the thrust thing because 255 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: when you walk off the thrust, the thrust isn't moving. 256 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: So when you come back to the stage your banding shift, 257 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: your band is like looking that way and you have 258 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: to kind of like run back around your set. 259 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, thrust doesn't move though, correct, So you're 260 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: on the thrust and it's spinning with the. 261 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: Stage is still spinning without you, So you either have 262 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: to like commit to be out there until your band 263 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: comes back around, or you just have to go find them. 264 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: That's funny. Is there a difference in how you hear 265 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: the sound in an arena because in a stadium you 266 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: can so far sometimes get so far away and even 267 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: the timing's off, yeah, because you're hearing it or is 268 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: it pretty much the same as anywhere else. 269 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: It's so like hit or miss. Like I would say 270 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: that most arenas in the country are strictly for sports, 271 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: like some of the new arenas, Like we played the 272 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: Moody Center this weekend in Austin. Oh my gosh, dude, 273 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: it was the most amazing. First of all, the people 274 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: that run that place are the My kids were out. 275 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: They made a whole room for my kids with a 276 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: bouncy house, and like they're just dialed on details. But 277 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: even just the building itself, you can tell that there's 278 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: a lot of like the phone padding or whatever like 279 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: in the ceiling. But then other arenas, man, it's just 280 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: the noise just goes up there and it gets trapped 281 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: and then it comes right back to you and it's 282 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: like the rooms can be really boomy, but you can 283 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: really notice like a difference, like at the Mavericks place, 284 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: Like Mark Cuban knew that that place was going to 285 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: have live music, so they did all the right stuff 286 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: and the moment you've seen you never get any feedback 287 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: that the sounders does what it's supposed to do, so 288 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: arena's can be super hit or miss. Theaters are pretty 289 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: much all the same, man, because the sound just goes 290 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: and it never comes back, you know what I'm saying. 291 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: But stadiums are open open because there's the stadiums are 292 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: pretty wild because you know, especially like where the like 293 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: at the Vikings Field or whatever, some of those indoor 294 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: stadiums are so giant and boomy that it's like almost 295 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: impossible to like have a good in your performance. 296 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: Do you ever get annoyed that you are such a 297 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: nice guy whenever you're all so normal, Like you're like, 298 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: I see you're normal to me, You're you're just a 299 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: bro a dude, right, But you're also a really nice guy. 300 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: But it's you've done a great job at not sticking 301 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: yourself into i won't even say controversial, but conflictual situations 302 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: that happens in the town all the time.

But like what does it add 332 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: And if it's. 333 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: Not one of your primary things, sure it can mean anything. 334 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: It could even be I'll take it off anything confrontational, 335 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: but I'll just say even charitable. 336 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Sure there's a lot of stuff that. 337 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: My wife and I are involved in, but if I 338 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: am talking about twenty seven things constantly, sure nobody knows 339 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: any of them. Right, So I really, even though we're 340 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: involved in these things, I've really got to pick my 341 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: two or three things that are the most important to 342 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: me that I want to share it with the world 343 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: and focus on those. If you don't focus on them, 344 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: there's no focus on anything. And I think even then 345 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: you kind of have to be strategic about what you 346 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: want others to know about you. And even even dealing 347 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: with your daughter, even dealing with I've seen it with 348 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: Amy with getting kids from Haiti, Like it doesn't matter 349 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: if you're doing something great for somebody, people are still like, 350 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: why don't you go to America. 351 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: Getting one hundred percent that? Yeah, we don't get that anymore. 352 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: But we did. We did a lot in the very beginning. 353 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: I would go berserk. 354 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: We did go zerk because it got to a point 355 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: where you just wanted to go fight everybody, yep, and 356 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: you just can't like, hey, all eight thousand y'all meet 357 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: me in the parking lot, and it's like, what is 358 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: that going to do? You know what I'm saying In. 359 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: A different way, It's like, so if I'll do things 360 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: with animals, and let's say we make a one dollar donation, 361 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: like why don't you make a one dollar donation to 362 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: kids with cancer? 363 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: And I'm like, it ain't your money. Secondly, what are you. 364 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: It's just it's a very tough place to be in 365 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: to be respected and liked. Still also want to have 366 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: your voice out there, but to choose what you want 367 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: your voice to say. And I just wonder the process 368 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: of how you guys decide on what that is. 369 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I mean me and Laurence still battle it, 370 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, because like we are super involved in like 371 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: Lauren's organization called loved One. Like that's if both of 372 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: us had to ditch everything else in the world and 373 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: we only were going to like Instagram post about one thing, 374 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: it would be it would be a loved One because 375 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: we're both so passionate about that. But I think when 376 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: when you are known as a philanthropic person or a 377 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: philanthropic couple. I think everybody kind of thinks that they 378 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: can kind of like come at you and be like, yo, well, 379 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: since you posted about that, could you post about this? 380 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: And if you did that fundraiser, can you come play 381 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: at this thing? And can you can you do an 382 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: acoustic thing for this? And all of a sudden, it's 383 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: like you said, when you're talking to everybody, you're talking 384 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: to no one, you know what I'm saying, Like. 385 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: Two quarterbacks, if you have two quarterback, you don't have 386 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 2: a good. 387 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: Quarterback for sure. Not that all those things aren't great, 388 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: and not that we wouldn't give money to all those things, 389 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: but it's like when it comes like what are we 390 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: trying to push? What are we trying to represent ourselves 391 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: on to the world, It's got to be so kind 392 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: of slim, you know what I'm saying. Because I'm one 393 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: of those people. Man, I get involved in too much stuff. 394 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm sure I don't know if you're the same way, 395 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: But like, I love like collaborating, I love making music 396 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: with other people, And if it were up to me, 397 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: I'd put a new song out with somebody different every Friday, 398 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: just because I think it's so fun. But at the 399 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's kind of like you got 400 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: to you kind of got to wait on your big 401 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: push and your big play, because I think you can 402 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: definitely water down your market by just always just throwing 403 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: something new and something different at them all the time. 404 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 405 00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: Has your thoughts and philosophy on how much music and 406 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: how often to release music changed over the last three years. 407 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, but I feel like I'm not following the 408 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: trend in the way that I should. 409 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 2: What's the trend in? How do you follow it differently 410 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: than the trend? 411 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: Man. I've put a record out every other year since 412 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: I was twenty one years old, you know, and I 413 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: think like the last couple of records, as proud of 414 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: them as I am, I feel like there have been 415 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: moments where it's been like, we just need to keep 416 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: writing because we've got to keep keeping up. And then 417 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: you put a record out and there might have been 418 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: like a song that did a thing, but the rest 419 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: of the record like wasn't really ready, you know what 420 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And so I've been working on a new 421 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: record for the last six months and I don't have 422 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: a date yet. You know what I'm saying, and I 423 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: think for a lot of people on the team, it's 424 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: kind of nerve wracking because I've always just had something 425 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,239 Speaker 1: in the can to be able to come with if 426 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: we needed to. But dude, I'm just like, for the 427 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: first time in my life, I'm just watching so much 428 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: music come out all the time, and it's so like 429 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: I can barely get to through the whole new music 430 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: Friday Country, much less. 431 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: Friday Music Friday. Right, yeah, maybe a Friday. 432 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: Country, you know what I mean. Like, I get maybe 433 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: through the first ten of them, and then I'm like, man, 434 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know what's good, you 435 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean, until the world kind of tells 436 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: me what is good. I'm not even sure that I 437 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: know what good is anymore. And so I've had to 438 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: take a big step back from even the music I've 439 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: been writing, like I haven't listened to and this is 440 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: rare for me, but like when I'm about to start 441 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: making records, man, I'm listening to my demos daily, like 442 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: in the car, in the gym on the lake with 443 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: my kids, and I haven't listened to a song of 444 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: mine in two months because I have to just get 445 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: so far away from it that when I come back 446 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to it for the first real time, I want to 447 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: be blown away by it rather than like, gosh, I 448 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: think this is the next record, but I'm sort of 449 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: like already sick of it and it's coming out in 450 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: three months, you know what I'm saying. 451 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: I would assume that that's already the case with most people, 452 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 2: But like how you're talking about and the way that 453 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: you've done it, I could see where that would be 454 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: amplified if you're not putting it out like you'd probably 455 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: like to do. Like you said, every week it's something else. 456 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: It's something else that you could quickly be tired of 457 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: that season that you're in right then and beyond to 458 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 2: something else. But you've already started this project and you're still, well, 459 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: you created all this in that season. 460 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: You can't just let it go. 461 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it would have been easy just to put 462 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: it out then, for sure, So I can see where 463 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 2: that does a creative dilemma. 464 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: But I think I'm still I'm still a little bit 465 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: of the old school mindset of like, if you have 466 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: a good body of work, at least give it a 467 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: real chance and give it a real plan. You know what, 468 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, I feel like I'm not one of 469 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: those artists that can just like chunk songs out and 470 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: hope that they become famous on TikTok. Like, I just 471 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm one of those artists that can 472 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: happen to. Maybe I could have like a viral song, 473 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: but like, that's not how I want to release music. 474 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: Is it? 475 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: Because you don't know if you're Because I don't agree 476 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: with what you're saying about you. I think you don't 477 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 2: think you should do it. But I think you're as 478 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: good as anybody else putting music on TikTok. But are 479 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: you Because the nature of that is you got to 480 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: put a bunch of it that doesn't work for sure. And 481 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: so is that part of it too, where you don't 482 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: want to put a bunch of stuff that you know, 483 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: just a numbers game. If you put out five things, 484 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: three and a half or four of them is not 485 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: gonna work for sure. 486 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: It's weird. Man. Yeah, I don't know.

I've used TikTok for 492 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 2: a lot of different things. Through again, I'll use the 493 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: word seasons where it's like funny stuff and then it's 494 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: like a lot of golf videos. But now I watch 495 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: and find a lot of great music that I listened 496 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,719 Speaker 2: to personally. For example, So there's one girl woman, her 497 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 2: name is Jackie Vincent. She's from Austin and she's a 498 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: blues player and she's so good and it's rare. I'm 499 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 2: so jaded. You're jaded too, in the way I would 500 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: just get to be around great people. It's a beautiful jadedness. 501 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 2: See so much greatness all the time. You really got 502 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: to be different to stand down. 503 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: Stand out. 504 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: And I like saw it and I was like, oh 505 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 2: my god, Like rarely do I hear or see anything 506 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: where you're just like it just feels different for sure, 507 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 2: And so I started following her. And the cool thing 508 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: about algorithm, Well, the bad thing is they know everything 509 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: you're doing, and they monitor you and big brothers watching 510 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: in China's god as all that stuff that doesn't matter. 511 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 2: But the good thing is they like, know what kind 512 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: of music you like? 513 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: Ye? 514 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: Last night I'm on and there used to be a 515 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: group called Carmen and it was two people, my dear 516 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: and mccarmen.

So I went into it 522 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: and it was her, but without TikTok and me just 523 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: flipping through and finding this for sure, I just don't 524 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: know if I wouldn't be completely bored with music again 525 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 2: at this point because being so jaded by it.

That's even weirder and better than what 532 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: you would have said. Yeah, why because I'd rather go 533 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: down that road. 534 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. It was getting to a point where, I mean, 535 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: it sounds super cliche to say it, but it was 536 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: just taking up so much of my time, you know 537 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: what I mean. And I was finding so much of 538 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: my worth in a post, and like, especially since all 539 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: the algorithm stuff changed, you started to get you started 540 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: to be like man, like I used to post videos 541 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: and they'd get like a million views, no doubt. And 542 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: then you start to see this thing of like, Okay, 543 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: my views are starting to go down. Does that mean 544 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: that I am starting to suck more? You know what 545 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, that's what That's what my brain would 546 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: tell me. 547 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 2: That's what I think. That's I think it's probably everybody 548 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: a creative. I think that is absolutely fair. 549 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: And so you know, then you would like put songs 550 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: out and then some people would think they were really cool, 551 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: and then some people would just hate on them. And 552 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: then you start to see all the people in our 553 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: genre that the bloggers just be like this, this is 554 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: trash Thomas Repp music, this is not what he's best 555 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: at all these kind of things, and so then you 556 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: start making music out of fear. You start produce. One 557 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: of my producers named Julian said, you can't work out 558 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: of hit desperation, you have to work out of hit inspiration. 559 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: And I think for a while there dude, I was 560 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: working out of hit desperation because I was so terrified 561 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: of what this genre would think about what I thought 562 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: was cool that it got to a point where I 563 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: just wanted to write what I think they think would 564 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: be cool. 565 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 2: It's a lot of predicting going on, a. 566 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Lot of predicting of being like, well, maybe if I 567 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: write songs that sort of feel like a loop comes thing, 568 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: then these people will kind of think. I'm like, okay again, 569 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And maybe if I can 570 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: do some of this stuff that like Morgan is doing, 571 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: then maybe this group will think that I maybe I 572 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: can fit into that group. But I didn't like get 573 00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: here by ever fitting into a grip. 574 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: You actually did the opposite. 575 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: I did the complete opposite, and so I started to 576 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: really not be myself anymore, just kind of lamed right 577 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: with honestly just vanilla straight down the middle stuff. 578 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: Okay, what was the bottom for you that made you go? 579 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 2: I got to get up. I have to because something 580 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: had to happen for you to go. I got to 581 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: make a change in my life. 582 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it was. It was. It was around Christmas 583 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: time last year, and like I kind of go into 584 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: weird places when I'm off the road, because it feels 585 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: like a therapy. Are all your podcasts like therapy sessions, Like. 586 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: Hey buddy, I am who am? 587 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: Okay? I go to a lot of therapy myself, maybe 588 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: the same. But when I'm off the road is a 589 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: really challenging time for me because when you're on the road, 590 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: you're getting three straight nights of like dopamine. 591 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 2: Celebrations, Yes, love, how are you? 592 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Yes?

It's like retractable dopamine, if that makes any sense. 595 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I will leave a stage being told I'm 596 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: the funniest person in the whole world by a couple 597 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: thousand people are and then my wife's like, you did 598 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 2: not take out the trash, and she loved me more 599 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: than they ever will for sure. But you're right that 600 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: dopem it is not and you you just feel it's 601 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 2: a different kind of loneliness, no doubt. 602 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know I was off the road. I've 603 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: been off the road for like two or three months 604 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: and just constantly in my freaking phone, you know what 605 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: I mean.

Polar And 662 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: so nicotine was kind of like like that crutch for me. 663 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: It was just like when I felt nervous, nicotine, when 664 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: I felt weird nicotine, when I felt happy nicotine. It 665 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: was like always just a thing. And so I mean, 666 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: I haven't been off of it that long, but it's 667 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: been been three weeks, which is the longest ever gone. 668 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna start after that. In the 669 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: in the year of quitting nervous, that's a long time. 670 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: So uh So, if you're not dipping, this is gonna 671 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: be a dumb question because I never did what about 672 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: supplemented it with no And that's a different thing because 673 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: I have an addiction. I have a big addict in personality. Same, 674 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 2: But what's so bad about just nicotine if a lot 675 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: of the stuff that's in cigarettes or a lot of 676 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: the cancer, Because just nicotine. 677 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Itself is correct, So what's so there's actually like a 678 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: couple of good benefits of nicotine apparently from podcasts I've 679 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: listened to. I don't know how much this is right. 680 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying kids should you shouldn't dip, correct, 681 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: you shouldn't smoke, And I'm not talking about all the 682 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 2: other things inside of it. Yeah, but I'm just curious 683 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: because caffeine and nicotine, I just alone. 684 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, what the heck's the difference? 685 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: Really, I don't feel like either one of them are 686 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: giving you. 687 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: They can do different things to your brain. So here's 688 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: here's what I'll say. So, when I was using nicotine, 689 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: my like resting heart rate would be like up in 690 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: the mid seventies, which is pretty high. The week I 691 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: quit using zen, my resting heart rate was like forty nine. 692 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 2: It was that drastic. 693 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: That's a that's signific that's a big jump. And so 694 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: then you mix nicotine and caffeine, you're looking at like eighty, 695 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, I mean, I'm young, 696 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: and I'm probably work out. Dude, just having Nickety in 697 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: and caffeine and chill got to day. Yeah, exactly exactly. 698 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: Did you Cardier? 699 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, dude, I think it was just it was 700 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: one of those it was such a comfort blanket, you 701 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, Like it got to the 702 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: point where it's like if I would, like, if I 703 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: didn't have a can, I would go rummage through all 704 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: my old camouflage from duck hunting season just to see 705 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: if there was a freaking can. It felt like I 706 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: felt like a drug addict in a way. Did you 707 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: well that? 708 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: And that's an addiction trade? 709 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 710 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: Did you go through with draws at all? 711 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: Not as much as I thought I would, because everybody 712 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: told me they were like, man, you just need to 713 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of switch to a different like cause there's three milligram, 714 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: six milligram, all these things. And so I'm not one 715 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: of those people that can just kind of tailor off 716 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: of things. Like you said, hey, only get on Instagram 717 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: one day a week. I'd be like, that's never going 718 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: to work. 719 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: I don't do moderation either, me either, So I. 720 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: Went freaking cold Turkey and for like, you know, five days, 721 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: it really sucked because you kind of start to after coffee, 722 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: oh this is a good time, after a meal, this 723 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: is a fun time. Oh during golf, this is a 724 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: great time. And then you start to kind of figure 725 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: out that it's every part of your day where you 726 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: wanted one. And so I think I'm okay now, Like 727 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: there's definitely mult some times where I'm like, man, I 728 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: would love to have a zin right now, but just 729 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: not trying to get in the habit of telling myself 730 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: no this year so. 731 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 2: And now the addiction part to me.

But I know I can't do 738 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: any of it because with that we talk about the awareness. 739 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: It's like you not on social media now, I have 740 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: hopefully the awareness of I can't because I know what 741 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: out but I have to put other things in that place. Yeah, 742 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: it's either it's going to be work, Yeah, it's going 743 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: to be golf, right, There's going to be an addiction 744 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: of some sort. My goal is to have a healthier 745 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: addiction because I know there's going to be something there 746 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: for sure. So what are you doing? What are you 747 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: doing now to fill that time and to feel that need? 748 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: It is?

Like I remember five years ago it was 754 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: like fly fishing.

Too? Like it's just 831 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 1: wasting the crowd's time. 832 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: Do you start to look at them as who's walking 833 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: out or who's getting a beer? Or oh yeah, And 834 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 2: even though it's probably the same amount of exact amount 835 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 2: of people, Then when you're doing one of your heads. 836 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: You're just noticing, you just notice it different. 837 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: Just then for sure you're purposefully going let me find 838 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 2: people that don't like me. It's like social media. 839 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a I used to have a real 840 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: I used to have a very unhealthy relationship with crowd 841 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: because it's easy for me to look in the crowd 842 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: and know who is who really wanted to come for me. 843 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: Like I say it in our show every night, I'm like, 844 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: hey to all the dudes that came tonight because their 845 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: girlfriends or their wives begged them to be here, I 846 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: just want to say thank you. You know what I'm saying, Like, 847 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that they feel known and seen, 848 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: and I know that they are here against their will, 849 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: but my goal is for them to leave being like 850 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: that was actually really fun. Yeah you know what I'm saying. 851 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: That's all I want. It's for people to walk away 852 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: with a smile on their face and enjoy their art. 853 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: That's our main mission statement before we take the stage, 854 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: just put smiles in people's faces. But dude, I used 855 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: to five years ago. Man. I remember my wife looked 856 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: at me after a show and she's like, you feel 857 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: better about yourself, because I used to find the one 858 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: dude in every crowd that just hated life, you know 859 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And I would call him out, you 860 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like I would I would like 861 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: get my guitar and I'd be like, hey, dude, you 862 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: want to you should come up here and sing with me. 863 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: And I'd get him up on stage and I'd be like, 864 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: you look like you really love country music. He's like, yeah, 865 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: I do. And I'm like, man, let's sing some classics together, 866 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And this sounds horrible because 867 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: it is horrible, But I would go play like an 868 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: old Merle Haggard song and I'd be like Memories and 869 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: drank Storm mixed too well, and I'd hatem a microphone 870 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: and he wouldn't know the words, and it made me 871 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: feel so good that I knew more classic country than 872 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: that dude. Did you know what I'm saying? Because my 873 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: show is very very pop and eccentric and pop country 874 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: and all the things in day. 875 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 2: Which you're probably going, Oh, he thinks I'm too pop, 876 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: So I'm going to show him how absolute country. He's 877 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 2: not as country as I am, exactly. Yeah. 878 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: So I remember walking off stage dude, just feeling like 879 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: the biggest turd, you know what I'm saying. And my 880 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: wife looked at man for the show and she was like, 881 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: do you feel better about yourself? And I said, absolutely not. 882 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 2: She was saying it in that way, in the way yeah, 883 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 2: you know. 884 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: What I mean. Yeah, And so it's like I've grown 885 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: so much in the last five years now, I just 886 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: kind of I just kind of take it for what 887 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: it is. And I know the people that love coming 888 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 1: to my shows and know the people that would rather 889 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: not be there and rather be somewhere else. But I'm 890 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: just trying to make it entertaining and fun for for everybody. 891 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: Man, So I think that if you have any like 892 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 2: I'm a neurotic about that thing. I feel like. I 893 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 2: posted a video today of my because I'm touring this 894 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 2: comedy show. Now we're going to do a special and 895 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 2: so I'm a little nervous about what goes where. And 896 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 2: I posted a video today with the guy and he 897 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 2: was like, I didn't really want to come. My wife 898 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 2: dragged me here. Yeah, But I didn't know that until 899 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 2: we were doing this thing on stage together. And so 900 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 2: I would always see the people that didn't want to 901 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 2: be there and go I'm gonna impress them for sure, 902 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 2: which wasn't healthy because I should just do what I 903 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 2: do because obviously people came to see me do what 904 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,919 Speaker 2: I do, not stretch myself in ways that maybe uncomfortable 905 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 2: and not good for the show. 906 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 4: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the 907 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 4: Bobby Cast. 908 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 2: I was talking with Kip Moore, who was doing a 909 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 2: theater show. 910 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: We were talking. 911 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 2: We were talking about that specifically, like people in the crowd, 912 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 2: and I told Kip I said, hey, I just stare 913 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 2: at foreheads now because I don't. I'm too insecure to 914 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 2: look at faces and smiles and eyes. I look at foreheads. 915 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 2: And once I talked to a guy after a show 916 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 2: who was just mean mugging the whole time, just like 917 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: you know, you know you've seen him just not having 918 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: a good time. Yeah, And I only talked to him 919 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,479 Speaker 2: because he came up because I was signing much stuff 920 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 2: and he came up and this is the same dude 921 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: whose mean mugg and he was like that was so 922 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 2: much fun. And I like, really, I said, you were 923 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 2: sitting so cause you never smiled. He was like, no, 924 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 2: that's just how I sit. I'm just not out. 925 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm just not an outward laugher bro. So that's and 926 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: I feel like hopefully we have come to the same conclusion. 927 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,959 Speaker 1: It's like people show that they're pumped in very different ways. 928 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: We put our expectations. Yeah, how we would act on 929 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 2: them exactly that way toward us. 930 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: Right Like if I go to Berna Mars concert, I'm 931 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: freaking going to town like I'm dancing, I'm jumping, and 932 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: I expect people that if they're having a good time, 933 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: to do the same thing. But this is not how 934 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: it works. And I think for so long I was 935 00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: kind of like, man, like, listen up, you know what 936 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean. Like, I remember there was a dude on 937 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: the front row one time in a and I reme. 938 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: I remember I was wearing this hat that said Matthews 939 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 1: on the back and it's the type of compound bow 940 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: that I shoot, and he was wearing a hat with 941 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: the same exact logo on it, and dude, it was 942 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: like song seven and the lights went dark, and I 943 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: literally I told the bands to hold up, and I 944 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: went down on the subway and I looked at that 945 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,399 Speaker 1: guy and I said, are you okay? There's like ten 946 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: thousand people in the room. I said, are you a height? 947 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: I said, because you look like you're having the worst 948 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: time in your life. And he goes, bro, this is 949 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. 950 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: And I was just telling my wife about how me 951 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: and you probably shoot the same bow. I was like, 952 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: I was like great, and I high fight to him 953 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: and we started the thing. And it was at that 954 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: moment where I was like, man, people just show their 955 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: fun in a different way. And it started to happen 956 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot when we started traveling internationally. I don't know 957 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: if you've heard saying that. 958 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 2: I bet that culture. I just all different cultures do 959 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,319 Speaker 2: it all to do. 960 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: It's like Western Canada is different than East Coast Canada, 961 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The northeast of the USA 962 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: is different than the southeast of the USA. London shows 963 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: their appreciations super different than Glasgow or Belfast, you know 964 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like you kind of start to 965 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: get this cultural little thing where you go, Okay, we're 966 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: in this part of the world and we understand that 967 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 1: they just kind of clap here, you know what I'm saying. 968 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: Like we were in Texas this weekend and there's a 969 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: lot of people that were pretty rowdy in Texas, but 970 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people like to sit in Texas. That 971 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're having a bad time. It just means 972 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: that that's how they watch concerts. And so at some 973 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: point you kind of got to be like, hey, we're 974 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: going to do it. We do best regardless of what 975 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,919 Speaker 1: is happening out there, you know what I'm saying. 976 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 2: It was a hard place for me to get to, 977 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 2: just I just got to do me regardless of for 978 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 2: sure what they're doing, because I was being so selfish 979 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 2: thinking that they didn't give me what I would give 980 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 2: in this same situation, that they're wrong and they must 981 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 2: hate me, But that's only because I think that what 982 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 2: I do is the right way to act. Can you 983 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: feel good? And so I needed that lesson and I learned. 984 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,439 Speaker 1: And even with ticket sales and stuff like you're talking 985 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 1: about being selfish with a crowd, it's like, it's always 986 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: amazed me how you could do a three night run 987 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: in all three towns are within let's say, five hundred 988 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: miles of each other, you know what I'm saying. And 989 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: you sell out the Thursday night and you sell out 990 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 1: the Saturday night, but the Friday night was the worst 991 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: selling show of the weekend. And you sit in there 992 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: and you go, what is it about this town that's 993 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: right in the dead center of two sellouts, but on 994 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: this one in particular, we had to close this section 995 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: and close that section to make sure that we put 996 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: the people in there that needed to be in there. 997 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: And you kind of go, well, you know, we walk 998 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: on stage and you're like, no, that doesn't not give 999 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: you a pass to go put on a less awesome. 1000 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 2: Chef strug ice Trug. 1001 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: But you walk out there and you go, well, there's 1002 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: only like it's not sold out, so like, I'm just 1003 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: going to give like seventy percent of myself. But that 1004 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: is the most selfish thing in the world you could 1005 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: ever do to the people that did show up because 1006 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to be there. You know what I'm saying. 1007 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking out of my brain because I 1008 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 2: feel I am. I feel like I'm a loser, right 1009 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 2: and I didn't sell out, and I focus only on 1010 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: the empty seats, correct, And I think I've gotten better, 1011 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 2: but only because I was so selfish and such a 1012 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 2: loser about it for so long. And my wife, My 1013 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 2: wife has been a great source of slapping me straight 1014 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 2: a lot of times, right, because no one ever slapped 1015 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 2: me much. Let's slap me straight, right, Because once you 1016 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 2: get to a point, it's not like we have a 1017 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 2: lot of people around us that are just like yeah, no, no, no, 1018 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 2: we have to we have to at a certain point 1019 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 2: start to find the people we trust for sure that 1020 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 2: can give us a bit of pushback. When you eat it, 1021 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 2: that's right, and it doesn't feel good, and it's and 1022 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 2: it is so counterintuitive to pursue something that doesn't feel good. 1023 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1024 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 2: So, but my wife would go, hey, uh, you know 1025 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 2: the people here that have filled up like eighty five 1026 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 2: percent of this theater, they're not looking around going I 1027 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 2: wonder how many empty seats there are. 1028 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: Well, he really, he. 1029 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 2: Must just not be as good as he goes. They 1030 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 2: spent the same amount of money to each single person. 1031 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: I know it, man. And and she's right. Yeah, my 1032 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: wife says the same thing, dude, like I've called her 1033 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: for ten years. Hey, it's not sold out tonight. She said, Honey, 1034 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: how many times have you told me this? You know 1035 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Just get out there and do what 1036 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: you do best. 1037 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 2: Because the people that bought a ticket came to see 1038 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 2: you and they don't know, so go give. 1039 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,880 Speaker 1: Them a great show like we played. We were in 1040 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: Chicago last weekend and sold out to the United Center. 1041 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: That's always been a dream of mine to sell that 1042 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: place out. Jordan's house and there was we had a 1043 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 1: lot of people hanging after the show, and this one 1044 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: girl said, I'm so glad you played at the United 1045 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: Center because it's so much bigger than Wrigley, And I 1046 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,439 Speaker 1: was like, no, it's not. Wriggley is triple the size 1047 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: of this place. But when you start to really see, 1048 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: like how people judge, people think that arenas are stadiums 1049 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: and amptheaters are smaller than arenas. And it's just like 1050 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: we we know because we see the piece of paper. 1051 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: It's granulate that looks at the freaking ticket Master chart 1052 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: and goes, okay, there's fifteen hundred open seats. 1053 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 2: And there's a percentage of this price. 1054 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: Nobody, nobody knows, well, they do now, but nobody knows 1055 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: or cares. You know what I'm saying. 1056 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 5: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor. 1057 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Bobby Cast. 1058 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 2: I always have a guilt to the this is so stupid. 1059 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 2: I've never even says before I have a guilt to 1060 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 2: the promoter even at times, dude the same or I'm like, hey, 1061 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 2: I feel bad, I'm sorry. 1062 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: Yep. 1063 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never said that out loud before, but I 1064 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 2: have a if a show does not do what my 1065 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 2: expectation was and I'm just like, I'm I'm really sorry 1066 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 2: about it. 1067 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.

And at the 1133 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: end of the day, dude, it's like people are coming 1134 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: or they're not, you know what I'm saying. And at 1135 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 1: some point you got to trust your team. I'm telling 1136 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: this to myself. You got to trust Live Nation, and 1137 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: you got to trust your managers that they go, hey, 1138 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: we haven't even done our big push yet, not a 1139 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: lot of marketing has gone into this. And you also 1140 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: have to know that Instagram now, if you want people 1141 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: to see your stuff, you got to pay Instagram a 1142 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,879 Speaker 1: thousand bucks or whatever it is.

I didn't play 1198 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 1: golf for like three years, mainly because I have so 1199 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: many kids and it's impossible to like get out and 1200 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: go do it. But this year a buddy of mine 1201 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: invited me to play in this tournament in September, and 1202 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: I was like, well, what's the tournament?

I mean, if I really work out it, 1207 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: I can probably get down to a nine. And now 1208 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,880 Speaker 1: here it is in August and I've done nothing but grind, grind, grind, 1209 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 1: And I've played probably twenty rounds of golf and I've 1210 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 1: entered them all in my freaking gin handicap system. And 1211 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 1: I shot an eighty eight at wing Foot, which is 1212 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: one of the hardest courses in New York, and it 1213 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 1: only took my handicap down by point one. And I'm 1214 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,320 Speaker 1: sitting there going this sucks. Like golf is supposed to 1215 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,919 Speaker 1: be a blast with your friends, and if I shank 1216 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: one in the woods, I'm the worst person to be 1217 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: around because I'm sitting there going that lesson I took 1218 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,879 Speaker 1: last week. It worked last week, but I ain't working 1219 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: this week. Do you get in your head pre pre 1220 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: so much so that it affects posts correct and so 1221 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: like this tournament is like literally happening in three weeks, 1222 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: and it's like I'm playing with a bunch of people 1223 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: that are sick golfers, like pros and athletes and people 1224 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: that are plus twos and plus threes, and I'm just 1225 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: sitting here nervous out of my mind because I'm like, 1226 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: if I get paired with somebody that's a two and 1227 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: they're looking at me as a nine, that goes, hey, man, 1228 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: I know that you're not going to help us out 1229 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: a lot, but I need you to burdy like three 1230 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: or four holes. That's all I'm gonna think about of, Like, 1231 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: am I going to help my team? And if I don't, 1232 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,240 Speaker 1: you've pre spiraled. Again, you pre spiral. 1233 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 2: You've just did what I just there's no reason for 1234 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 2: you to do that yet. And there is a reason 1235 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 2: to spiral at times, for sure, because that's a defense mechanism. 1236 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: But again, you're spiraling. And I say this out of 1237 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 2: love and understanding. You're spiraling when you don't need to 1238 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 2: freak inspiral because you're not even time to spiral yet. 1239 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:53,280 Speaker 1: Correct. 1240 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 2: It might be time to spiral eventually. Correct, But that's 1241 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 2: but you pre spiraling is actually going to lead you 1242 00:53:58,480 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 2: to spiraling. 1243 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. But I have to have these 1244 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: conversations too. 1245 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 2: That'say, okay, this is not good for me to go 1246 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 2: crazy right now because it's actually going to make me 1247 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 2: less effective correct later. It's like I have to have 1248 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 2: a dialogue with myself, which is actually a monologue, but 1249 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 2: I'm so crazy. It felt like two people talking to 1250 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 2: each other. 1251 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: My brother in law is my photographer on the road, 1252 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: and last weekend he looked at me because it was 1253 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: like a fifth Saturday in a row that I was like, dude, 1254 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do it, man, you know, 1255 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: and he was like, tr I feel like you create 1256 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: a black hole and then you just step into it. 1257 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 1: And like that rocked me. Like coming from like my 1258 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 1: brother in law, who's like one of my best buzz 1259 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: in the world, is like, dude, if there is something 1260 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: that hasn't even gone wrong, you will create something that 1261 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: will go wrong and you will latch onto that for 1262 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the day. It is my biggest faults 1263 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 1: as a human and probably, you know, more than likely 1264 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: the biggest reason that me and Lauren ever get into 1265 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 1: arguments is like Christmas or Thanksgiving or a trip to 1266 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: Disney World. I'm sitting there going Disney World, so like, 1267 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, are we gonna the kids gonna take naps 1268 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,240 Speaker 1: during the day, or like are we just going to 1269 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 1: to crush through or like we're trying to do four 1270 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 1: parks we do in three And she's like, well, you 1271 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: just can we just go and do Disney and have 1272 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: fun as a family. I'm like, yeah, but I kind 1273 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: of needn't know, like when I'm going to need to 1274 00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 1: stress out, here's dur in the day, here's the beauty. 1275 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 2: Though, that same we're going to come back to this, 1276 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 2: that same thing that drives us crazy is also what 1277 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 2: drives us into really positive places. Sure, what allows us 1278 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 2: to have success, but to also use that success to 1279 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 2: things that we talked about at the beginning of this interview, 1280 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 2: that allows us to make small changes in our little 1281 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 2: pockets of the world that we feel so as much 1282 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 2: as we're trying to improve that part of us, we 1283 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 2: have to also be thankful. I'll just say me you can. 1284 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,760 Speaker 2: But I think it that those same traits allow us 1285 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: to succeed in the places as well. We just don't 1286 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: focus on them because we don't focus on the good 1287 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 2: things for sure, which is exactly what we're talking about here. 1288 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, it is.

I've known you for a 1290 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: long time. 1291 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 2: I just think it's a yes, and we're it's just 1292 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 2: anybody creating. Yeah, it's so vulnerable all the time. You 1293 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,280 Speaker 2: don't want to act vulnerable, especially if you have some success, 1294 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 2: because you're like. 1295 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: Why would I be. 1296 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 2: I'm killing it, that's a rock and roll let's go. 1297 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 2: But really you're just as insecure as you ever were.

I'm 1342 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 1: hitting blades like the T one hundreds. You could probably 1343 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: spare to hit the T three hundreds this point. 1344 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:06,440 Speaker 2: So because you think you're not precise enough in your aggression. 1345 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Like, I mean, I've I have gotten a 1346 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: lot better.

I'm so unpredictable off the 1350 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: tee with my driver. Is that your weakest area? Probably 1351 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: my weakest area. Yeah, I'm a short game and putting it. 1352 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: Putting is not bad, and I can get onto a green, 1353 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: but if I, like am constantly hitting from the woods 1354 00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: or having to drop off my T shot, you just 1355 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 1: can't score over I can't score. 1356 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 2: I'm a twelve.

But it's like, 1477 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: now you're at twenty almost twenty number ones, twenty one 1478 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 1: number ones, and you go, Okay, we have enough now 1479 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 1: to fill up a ninety minute set of nothing but 1480 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: number one songs. And as amazing as that sounds. It 1481 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: really forces you to look at your set and now, go, Okay, 1482 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,919 Speaker 1: of the twenty number ones, which ones were the game 1483 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,920 Speaker 1: changers and which ones were the ones that we just 1484 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of snuck in by a point? Does it make 1485 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,919 Speaker 1: sense because you play die Happy Man and you play 1486 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: slow on Summer. Slood on Summer was a hit, but 1487 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Die Happy Man was a game changer. You play Marry 1488 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Me up next to Remember You Young? Remember You Young 1489 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 1: was a hit and it was a great song, but 1490 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 1: Marry Me was a game changer. And so you kind 1491 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: of start to go through your career and you go, man, like, 1492 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: hits are great things to keep your momentum kind of stacked, 1493 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 1: but like every now and then, man, you've got to 1494 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: have a big boy, you know what I'm saying. And 1495 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: so that's kind of where I find myself as a 1496 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: thirty three year old man doing this now for eleven years, 1497 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,439 Speaker 1: six albums deep. It can no longer be about here's 1498 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: a collection of songs that I think are kind of fun, 1499 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 1: and there's for sure two radio singles on there, and 1500 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: this one's kind of weird enough to maybe stream one 1501 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:58,040 Speaker 1: hundred million times. It can't be that anymore. It's got 1502 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 1: to be like, Yo, here's eleven songs that I think 1503 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 1: are so different from me. I've never dodged in this territory. 1504 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: And even if they all suck, at least we took it. 1505 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: We swung for the fence. You know what I'm saying, Like, 1506 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: what good is it doing me to just like sit 1507 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: down and write some just like generic country songs. 1508 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 2: Well, the only good would be the dope, I mean, 1509 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 2: hit you get up, going out.
