00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: the studio lately on the radio show, and so we've

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of been on an interview kick a bit on

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: the radio show, and since this is an interview podcast,

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,000

00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: missed him over there, we patch them all together and

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: you can hear some here. For example, Chris Lane, who

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: I've known forever, Mitchell Tenpenny, who I've known forever. Mitchell

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Tenpenny up for CMA for Best New Artist even though

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: he has multiple number ones, which is pretty funny and

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: also up and coming, but he's already like crushing it.

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Tucker Wetmore and Joe Nichols, so three of those people

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I've known for a long time. Tucker Wetmore's new, but

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that if you missed him

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: on the Bobby Bone Show, we would just lay out

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: this interview only podcast, and I hope you like it.

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,320

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: from the Bobby Bone Show that's happened over the last

21
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. There we go on The Bobby Show. Now, Buddy,

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: how are you good to see?

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know.

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: I see on social media a lot, and I feel

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: like and then I saw in the parking lot a

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: couple a few weeks ago. It's weird. Social media is

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: weird because you feel like you kind of stay in

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: touch with people. And I guess you and I will

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: text and miss each other about playing pickleball about once

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: every two weeks. You're like, Hey, are you a down? Nope,

31
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna say if you don't pay pickleball.

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel like I've seen you, but we

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: really haven't hung out or anything. But everything's good. Everything's good, man.

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Just social media says you're good, and social media doesn't lie,

35
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: so that's true. That's true. I ran into Chris and

36
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: his wife and kids, my wife and I did. We're

37
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: in the parking lot of a place, and so we

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: hung out and talked for a while, and we naturally

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: did the junior high dance move where the boys went

40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: to one side and the girls went and the girls

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: went to the other side, and and we were all

42
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: like talking, Yeah, what's what's family life like now kids

43
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: are older?

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. Dunton's three. Baker is about to turn

45
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: two in about ten days. And then uh, Buttons in school,

46
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: we just did parent teacher conferences yesterday, which was very

47
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: funny for the first time. They were great. They spoke

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: very highly of him. They said he was a silent

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: leader in class and that he's really good at following directions.

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: And I'm like, man, I'm glad he's doing that at

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: school because he's terrible at that home. Who do you

52
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: think who's the role follower in your family?

53
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Lauren?

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: Her and her dad are too much of a rule follower,

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: Like it drives me crazy because I don't break rules,

56
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: but I don't like follow them, follow them, you know

57
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 3: what I mean?

58
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: Maybe you just don't. Well, I would say I've been Yes,

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: that's the best story. I've been to them a little bit.

60
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: There are times where I will not learn the rules

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: on purpose. So therefore, if I don't follow them, it's

62
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: not because I didn't break them, I just never knew them.

63
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what you are. You create your own

64
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: path because you didn't know how to drive a car.

65
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Why didn't I say it? That's exactly like, did you

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: know you did the wrong? I'm like, no, tell me more.

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the new song first of all,

68
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: because I get two sort. You got a single that's

69
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: climbing the charts, but you also have this new song

70
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: called If I Die Before You, So I'm gonna let

71
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: you You ever have those books back as a kid

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: where it's like, choose your own adventure? Which one would

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: you like to talk about first? You want to Find

74
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Another Bar? Yeah, we can talk about that one. That

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: one's and I'm gonna play it. Yeah, I'm gonna play it,

76
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: So tell me about find Another Bar. Yeah.

77
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: So I feel like everybody kind of got to know

78
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: me as the love song guy over the years, you know,

79
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: with I Don't Know About You, take back Homegirl for

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: her big plans all in a row there, and I

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: kind of just felt like it was time to do

82
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: something different, show people a different side of me. Obviously,

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: I've been through heartbreak in my life, so it's something

84
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: I can easily sing about and relate to. And I

85
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: just felt like this was my take on a breakup

86
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: song that I felt like had. I mean, there's been

87
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: a million breakup songs, but I felt like this one

88
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: was different in a little different way.

89
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: I was like, when artists, writers, creators try to find

90
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: a new way to say the same thing. And I

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: think that's the constant in song creation, even in writing

92
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: books or anything. It's love, heartbreak lost. There are these

93
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: certain fundamental elements, and it's how do you approach and

94
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: talk about it in a different way?

95
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: Right?

96
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: And but we've not heard a song about how somebody

97
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: broke up with you and you killed them. Have you

98
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: guys thought about that? No? No, I don't know, just

99
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: a different way think about it, you know, or like

100
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: you stalk them. Your song wasn't that. But I was thinking, like,

101
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: how do you approach it?

102
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: I love song.

103
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: That, Chris, Right? Have you ever thought just trying to

104
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: think of different? Your hair is longer. I didn't recogonize

105
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: you standing in there. I was like, who's the hobo?

106
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I looks good, No, it looks good.

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: I can't decide, like my wife wants it short. I

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: prefer it a little bit longer.

109
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: You know. I can cut it shorter the older I get.

110
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: But that kind of both because it's like short on

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 4: the sidelong.

112
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: And the that's true, it's almost a mullet yeah, it's

113
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: kind of in between.

114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a mullet? Because you're from You're

115
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: from the South. I'm from the South. Everybody had a

116
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: mullet at some point. Do you ever have a good one?

117
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, it's about like it is now. I kept

118
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 3: it a little more tame. I can't go super long

119
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: like that wouldn't be my vibe. But uh, where's that

120
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: right now?

121
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: Is?

122
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't let it get much longer. But it's

123
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: in the shape of one kind of.

124
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: When did you start playing music? And then when did

125
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: it get serious? And I want to ask how that

126
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: relates to because I know you were an athlete as well,

127
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: So what age did you start learning that you like

128
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: music as far as to play? And then when did

129
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: you go I'm committed to this.

130
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved music, you know, growing up. I love

131
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: singing along to the radio. But as a sports guy,

132
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: my brother and I both we we were just football, baseball,

133
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: basketball in season. That's all we did. And so it

134
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: wasn't until I was graduating college. I had to go

135
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: back for one class to graduate in that half year.

136
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: So four and a half years of graduated and during

137
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: the downtime where we didn't have baseball anymore.

138
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: You know, I was done with my four years.

139
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: I started learning how to play the guitar, and I

140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: became very passionate about that. I'd been to a ton

141
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: of Kenny Chesney concerts, Keith Urpan concerts, and honestly, watching

142
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: Keith just made me want to learn how to play

143
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: the guitar, and it kind of grew into a passion.

144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Did you ever sing there before playing guitar? No, I

145
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: mean just luckily, just along with the radio. Yeah.

146
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: So my last semester I got good enough on the

147
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: guitar that I could just play three or four songs,

148
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: and I would go to this open mic night right

149
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: there by the college, and all the fraternity sororities, all

150
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: my baseball guys would come up there and hang out,

151
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: and people would really encourage me. I would do this

152
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: little medley that had a bunch of hip hop songs

153
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: in it, and people seemed to like that a lot.

154
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: And then I would cover like an al Dean song,

155
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: I'm an Eric Church song, and people would just encourage

156
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: me that, man, you should try to do something with this.

157
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: So after I graduated, I moved back to Kernersville, North Carolina,

158
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: where I grew up at and just started putting a

159
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: lot of work into it, driving people crazy, trying to

160
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: sing and play at the same time, you know, which

161
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: is very hard. Yeah, when you're first trying to figure

162
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: out the guitar, it's hard to sing and strum at

163
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: the same time. But I think being an athlete kind

164
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: of helped me learned a little bit quicker on that.

165
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: And once I learned one song man, I became so

166
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: passionate about music. I just wanted to learn all of

167
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: my favorite songs, and that eventually led me into starting

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: a band. Back then, it was the Chris Lane Band.

169
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: I didn't put much thought into it, as I had

170
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: no idea that that would ever lead to a record deal,

171
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: but so pretty crazy.

172
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Why did you get on say it the very first time?

173
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: I know you're playing it? That's a big move to

174
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: not spend years as a kid learning music and just like,

175
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play guitar, but now I'm gonna go get

176
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: on stage where people can hear me sing. I don't know, like,

177
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: were you do you feel like you were called just

178
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: to get on stage? Were you nervous? Did you feel

179
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: like you were.

180
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: Going to do it?

181
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Once and then realize you maybe you didn't want to

182
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: do it.

183
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: I think the first time I got on stage, I

184
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: was certainly very nervous.

185
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Why would you even do it the first time? I

186
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know.

187
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: I think I just was so passionate about it and

188
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: having so much fun just playing in my bedroom every

189
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: day and no shyness, huh and no, and I just

190
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, like I said, I was getting

191
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: encouragement from the people that would watch me play those

192
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: three songs every Wednesday night.

193
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: It opened my night.

194
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: And that's cool. Yeah, yeah, they would build me up.

195
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: So I kind of just ran with that a little bit.

196
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, first show is incredibly nervous.

197
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Could you sing?

198
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: I was shaky like the first four songs, and then

199
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: I relaxed in and after that night I had so

200
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: much fun. I was like, man, I want to do

201
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: this every night for the rest of my life. So

202
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: I just continue to put.

203
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: The work in.

204
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: It got some guys in the band that could actually

205
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: play really well.

206
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

207
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: There for years in North Carolina. I just grinded it

208
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: out and got to the point to where I could play,

209
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: you know, four or five shows a week, mostly covers. Yeah,

210
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: of course, especially when you first start out, Yeah, and

211
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: then I started writing my own music, which eventually led

212
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: me to getting a record deal and moving to Nashville.

213
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: Because I'd never even been to Nashville prior to getting

214
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: all my first meetings.

215
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't come a bunch of times, and that's

216
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: a weird order of it happening. How do they find you? Then?

217
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: Who found you?

218
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: So I think some of the William Morris agents started

219
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: flying out to watch some shows, and word got around

220
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: because what had happened was much like Brantley Gilbert and

221
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: some of these guys, I had built up a massive

222
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: Southeast following, so not just in North Carolina, but I

223
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: was able to go out into like Florida, Georgia, South Carolina,

224
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: and I was able to sell out the same rooms

225
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: that a lot of the guys from Nashville who had

226
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: songs on the radio would come play. So I think

227
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: that's eventually how I ended up with the record deal

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: is people started flying out saying, who is this guy

229
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: doing it all on his own and selling out the

230
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: same venues.

231
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: And that's pretty cool that that's how it happened, because

232
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: rarely does someone have people come to them and go, hey,

233
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: we really like you. We'd like to offer you some

234
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: sort of plan to have a record deal, but you've

235
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: never been to Nashville. You know most of the stories,

236
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: even people that are awesome have to come here. Oh

237
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: yeah and have and you would probably coommend people you

238
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: need to go to Nashville because that's kind of how

239
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: it happens. So, but you built it up by just

240
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: playing a whole bunch of shows. What was the first

241
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: song I'm gonna make you go back into the depths

242
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: of your brain here it was the first song you

243
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: ever played publicly on a microphone? Like, what would have

244
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: been the one you were so comfortable with that you thought,

245
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I can do this my very first song. I'm going

246
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: to perform this like just cover song. Yeah, it covers

247
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: song that you ever did in front of people, like

248
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: at one of these open mics. Wow, that's a great question.

249
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: I know it was either al Dean hick Town. Is

250
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: that easy one to play? Like Corner? No? No, no,

251
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: it was. I was terrible at playing it.

252
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 3: I'm still terrible playing I Sometimes I go back and

253
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I could not figure this song out

254
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: before because it's like got bar cords.

255
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're like throwing f's in there. I would

256
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: like I for me, it'd be like smash Mouth. I'm

257
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a believer, but like the Monkeys.

258
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: Because it was like this, it's just CG the whole time,

259
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: but you're like going bar courts. If I could see

260
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: a video of my performance of that song, I'd be

261
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: on my knees dying, laughing. That's pretty fun. And then

262
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: an Eric Church song. I can't tell you what it is,

263
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: maybe your Love Love, your Love the Most or something

264
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: like that, but I remember playing that song a lot

265
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: could have been a Keith Urban song too. I mean, yeah,

266
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: he's trying to play solo.

267
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I tackled a Keith Urban solo

268
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: and I look back and it wasn't that good. Your brother,

269
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: it's your twin brother, and you guys look very similar

270
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: because you are twins? Are you guys? Really? You have

271
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: the twins that come out? What's that called fraternal? You're

272
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: like in the same bunk turn I know what it's

273
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: called identical? Yeah, but then what's the other. Oh yeah,

274
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: eleven different bunks? Fraternal?

275
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: Is it for a p?

276
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: So which one you and your brother are identical? Twins? Identical? Yeah?

277
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: Did he do music when you did or did he

278
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: see you were doing music, was like, hey, also should

279
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: learn how to do music. Uh.

280
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of exactly what happened. I think he

281
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: was experiencing some fomo of me being out there playing

282
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: music in front of peeps, even though it was just

283
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: a few songs on those wind at Wednesday nights. But

284
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: he bought an electronic drum set and started learning how

285
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: to play on that, and he was like, I'll just

286
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: start learning how to play the drums and we should

287
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: start doing something together. So I was like, all right,

288
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: So he just sat down started learning how to play

289
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: the drums. Was really bad for a very long time,

290
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: much like I was on the guitar. And this is

291
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: actually a funny story, but when I got a record deal,

292
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: he was still really bad in comparison to guys you

293
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: would get in Nashville who just crush back there. He

294
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: had a lot of learning to do. So when I

295
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: eventually signed there at Big Loud, which was at the

296
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: time kind of what Florida Georgia Line had done, it

297
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 3: was just a publishing production, uh and management deal. They

298
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: wanted me to hire somebody from Nashville, which I think

299
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: they had kind of had to do with the FGL

300
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: as well. But I'm like, this is my twin brother. Man,

301
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: the way I can do this to him, Like he's

302
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: put so much work in. I think he'll eventually get there.

303
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: And he put a lot of hard work in over

304
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: the years to get to where he is now, which

305
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: is great. He's great back there. He still keeps time

306
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: like sneakers in a dryer. But we make it through

307
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 3: the show.

308
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: All right.

309
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: That's a.

310
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: Dryer. That's a pretty funny term. You're going up to flats.

311
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Oh my gosh. They were in their Friends

312
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: of Mine and I'm super happen screaming for a year

313
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: for them to get back together. And I saw that

314
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: you going out with them. That's really exciting, man, huge,

315
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: It's huge for me. I'm very excited. I toured with

316
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: those guys back in seventeen.

317
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: I believe it was right when I had fix out

318
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: my very first song.

319
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Kelsey Ballerini was a part of that tour as well.

320
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: I was the first of three, but I got to

321
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: know them really well, spent time with all of them

322
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: and just became great friends. We still kept in touch

323
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: all these years later, and now you know I'm with

324
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: Jay on his record label, on his record label, and

325
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: he kept telling me that they were considering going back out,

326
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, at all costs, I've got to

327
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: be a part of this tour because I was a

328
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: part of the twentieth anniversary tours direct support when COVID

329
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 3: happened and we didn't get to happen, you know, and

330
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: I was I felt like I was on.

331
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: I want to call rocket ship.

332
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: But I was definitely going into the peak of my

333
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: career at that point, off coming off of big plans

334
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: at the time, so it would have been an incredible

335
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: moment to be a part of that tour. So I'm

336
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: so thankful that they asked me to come back out

337
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: and be a part of this twenty fifth anniversary.

338
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to tour with those guys. That's gonna

339
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: be fun. That's gonna just the vibe and the energy

340
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: of the crowd is gonna be fun. I agree. And

341
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: they haven't been broken up for twenty years, but it

342
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: feels that way. Yeah, And so everybodys gonna react that

343
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: way like they're back together, Oh my god, and it's like, yeah,

344
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: we were fun.

345
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: One of the funniest things that I remember when I

346
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: first toured with them is I would give Gary a

347
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: random word every single night, and he always had to

348
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: find a way to sing it into a song. And

349
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: I have to give my man credit. The first word

350
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: I ever gave him. It's a stupid word, but I

351
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: said raccoon. I'm like, there's no way he could literally

352
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: sing this into a song. Not only did he use

353
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: the word raccoon in a song, but he proceeded to

354
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: use it in every single song that he sang for

355
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: the rest of the night.

356
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: That's funny. Broken Road brought the raccoons.

357
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: I think the first song he used it in was

358
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: they were singing I wish I could rewind. He was like,

359
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: I wish I had a raccoon, but he would, you know,

360
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: do a bunch of runs on it.

361
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I was like, what, I don't know doing, Like I'm

362
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: not sure what he just said. So Chris has got

363
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: some dates of his own Waco, Akron, Ohio, Lexington, Birmingham, Alabama, Buffalo,

364
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: and Rochester all the way through November of this year,

365
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: So get tickets at im Chris Lane dot com. Then

366
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: The Life is a Highway tour which is coming up

367
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: with Rascal Flats. So what's the Rascal Flats Fixed story? Oh? Yeah, yeah.

368
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: So when I was torn with those guys, they would

369
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: do you know, they would go do their interview first,

370
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: Kelsey would do hers, and then I would go in

371
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: and do mine. They told this story, and you know,

372
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: those guys, they can make anything believable and they feed

373
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: off of each other and they're very good at it.

374
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: So they told this story about how they were so

375
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: proud of me and everything that I had overcome, that

376
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 3: they were, you know, honored to have me out on

377
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: their tour, and that my song. And the person who's

378
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: interview them, they're like, what exactly are you talking it?

379
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: What did he overcome? They're right, you didn't hear he's

380
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: singing about it and his song Fixed. You know, he

381
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 3: had a really bad meth addiction where he lost his

382
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: teeth and as part of the end of the tour gift,

383
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: we're going to give him a new set of teeth

384
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 3: and he's like overcoming, like just all this stuff, and

385
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 3: they made it really believable. So I get into my interview.

386
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: I have no clue that they've done that, and the

387
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: girl's like asking me about it, and I'm like, are

388
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: you trying to punk at me right now?

389
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Is this?

390
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: And she's like, well, Rascal Flats just told me about

391
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: everything that you've overcome.

392
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: And I'm like what. So she plays it for me

393
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my god, I cannot believe they did.

394
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: That was very funny.

395
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: So from there on out, every tour stop it turned

396
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: into them making up stories about me and me making

397
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: up stories about them.

398
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: Was so much fun. That is funny, and I learned.

399
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: I actually learned that sound dangerous because eventually it gets

400
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: to a point where it's like, you know, I murdered someone.

401
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: Garry Gary Wotxing Diddy were best friends. Yeah, it's like

402
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: you know him and Epstein used to fly together. But

403
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: it just gets to a place where it's like, not, yes,

404
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: that's that's funny. You still go to Planet Fitness and

405
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: just work out with random folks.

406
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: Man, I I do on the road, yes, but here

407
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: at the house, I work out at my country club.

408
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: Dang, that's cool. O what a flex? What a flex?

409
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: He wouldn't say, No, I go to my I go

410
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: to especially He goes no. You know, I might be

411
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: just small town boy from North Carolina, but I got

412
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: a country club now. Once you have three number ones,

413
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: you get a country club and look at you, fruit, Fruit?

414
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: Do you drink your team with the pinky out while

415
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: you're doing your curls or what? I don't have the

416
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: pinky out? Man, Dang this guy. Let's talk about the

417
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: song that just came out. If I die before you, so,

418
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what'd you like about this song when

419
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: you heard it?

420
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, everything there is to like about a song.

421
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: I loved about this one. This is going to be

422
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: one of those songs that I wish I had written.

423
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: It took two years or a year and a half

424
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: to two years for this song to make its way

425
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: to me because there were.

426
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Other artists who had it.

427
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 3: So when it got played for me on accident, I

428
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: fell in love with everything about the song, but then

429
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 3: realized I couldn't have it because somebody else was recording it.

430
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: So I had to wait this song out for a

431
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: year and a half. I prayed so hard that it

432
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: would eventually find its way back to me, and it did.

433
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is a I'm praying that

434
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: it is, but I feel like this is a career

435
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: changing type song.

436
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna play it now here is if I die

437
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,800

468
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: something like that. I mean, you look at Jelly, you

469
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 6: look at that shoot. I remember when you know, there's

470
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 6: a few few of us that have been around quite

471
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 6: a while and getting the nomination.

472
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: I'm happy. Yeah, it's awesome. But when I think about you,

473
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: I think you've been killing it for a while.

474
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, brother. I appreciate that. Yeah I was.

475
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: I was surprised too, but I'll uh like any anything,

476
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 6: I'll take it, especially from the peers.

477
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: Were you surprised? Yeah, I was there like a second

478
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: level that you knew you were in it or all

479
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was just like Best New Artists.

480
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 6: I had no idea when they were talking about when

481
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: it was coming out or announced again. And I woke

482
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 6: up to a couple of texts that said congrats, and

483
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: I texted texted my manager I was like, what are

484
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 6: they congratulating as work?

485
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Then I got on Instagram.

486
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 6: And uh and saw it and that was, you know, awesome,

487
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 6: you know, in the waking up to those kind of

488
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 6: things are amazing. But yeah, I truly didn't know what

489
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 6: day or anything that was happening or.

490
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: Anything good. Not today, right Why did you choose that one?

491
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 6: It's our single right now? Why did you choose I

492
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 6: just think it's an important message too. I mean, it's

493
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 6: kind of disguised around a breakup song, which I tend

494
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 6: to write a lot of breakup songs, even though I'm

495
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: happily married to Megan. But I like songs that, you know,

496
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 6: evoking emotion and but this song's kind of got a

497
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 6: bigger picture. It's it's about wearing an owning pain. It's

498
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 6: about saying hey and acknowledging it too. It's about saying, hey,

499
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 6: I know that this has happened. I'm I'm gonna get

500
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 6: over it, but not today. Today, I'm gonna acknowledge it,

501
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 6: accept it, and wear it. And you know, I'm doing

502
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 6: it in finger quotes. But as getting a little older

503
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 6: and maturing, I think that's the only way I've been

504
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 6: able to get through some things in life. It's truly

505
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: accepting things and then moving forward from it. And so

506
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 6: the not today term comes from that. It's like, hey,

507
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do this, but not today.

508
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: How emotionally mature that sound, because it's I'm knowledging that

509
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: I am going to do it, but I'm also acknowledging that,

510
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it will not be today because I'm not

511
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: in the healthy place to do that. Come on.

512
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Time heels for sure.

513
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: So the album is called The Third, which is I

514
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: mean the third it's the first song, but also why'd

515
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: you call it the third?

516
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: Because I am the third as well?

517
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 6: My name is James Mitchell Timpenny the Third, And I

518
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 6: wanted to say thank you to my dad and granddad

519
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: for believing to me, and unfortunately, you know, they're not

520
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 6: here anymore. So I wanted to encompass all that. It

521
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 6: being my third record as well, it just all kind

522
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: of made sense, but to say thank you for for

523
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 6: believing to me and letting me do music for as

524
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 6: a career. I have a lot of friends that moved

525
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 6: to town that their parents and families that don't do that.

526
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: That's really stupid, and I'm just very grateful my family

527
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 6: never did that.

528
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: You have new music out. But also I do want

529
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: to bring up the fact that Brooks and Done ask

530
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: you to be on Reboot Part two with a huge

531
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: compliment that I mean that. Here's the question. Was that

532
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: as awesome as it seems.

533
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 2: Even cooler, even more awesomer it was?

534
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 6: It was amazing, man, what a full circle moment I've

535
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 6: so we got me into country was Ronnie and Kicks.

536
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 6: And to get to work with Dan huff in them

537
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 6: and have the trust and faith to take one of

538
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 6: their songs and make in mine was a little intimidating

539
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 6: at first, but when I got in there and I

540
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 6: was playing nights, I was like, yeah, whatever y'all want

541
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 6: to do, of course, and Ronnie and khe like, we're

542
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 6: not gonna put on the record if you don't do

543
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 6: it the way you do it.

544
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: And that was so awesome.

545
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 6: The confidence that they instilled and just made me feel

546
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 6: made me feel warm and special, man. So that was

547
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 6: really really cool.

548
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: And you did that Ain't No.

549
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Eighty?

550
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's one of my favorite songs of all time,

551
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 6: and I'm surprised no one's ever done that one with them,

552
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 6: So it just made sense.

553
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: You're right though, that would be kind of intimidating. Yeah,

554
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: something they did so well. They're like, now you do it. Yeah,

555
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: I get it in there with a guitar part and

556
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: Dan huff too. It's like no, no, no, no, I like

557
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: that guitar.

558
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: You do your thing. And I was like, oh, okay,

559
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: all right, And yes, it was a nerve wrecking.

560
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: When you play all these shows all around the country,

561
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: you've been doing it for years and they give you

562
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: like you know, some places will give you like a

563
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: jersey of a local team, college team. How many of

564
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: those do you have?

565
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: I have a whole I have a whole, like closet

566
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 2: a full of jerseys. Man.

567
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 6: I've been collecting jerseys since I was a kid. But yeah,

568
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 6: over the over the past few years, getting the ones

569
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 6: with the names and stuff. I like it, their memories.

570
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 6: I call myself a collector. Wife calls me a hoarder.

571
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: But uh, I like, just like you sports cards. Uh

572
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's a problem. Like I love sports

573
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: and so jerseys are a big deal to me.

574
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: And this is how we do it without getting injured. Yes, yeah,

575
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: that's how we stay involved.

576
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 6: That I get the field part of the team without

577
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 6: actually going out and getting crushed.

578
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: What do you feel like as your favorite piece of memory. Oh, yeah,

579
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: like that you personally have of your career. And then

580
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: do you have anything at the house that you have

581
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: from somebody else? Oh?

582
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: Man, uh, of my career. That's uh, that's wild.

583
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: Uh.

584
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: I think for me it's you know, the Opry sign? Uh?

585
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: When can they give you the parking sign?

586
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 6: You know, like for people that don't know when you

587
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: when you have your debut at the Opry, they they

588
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 6: give you a parking spot and they make a sign

589
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 6: that says your name on it. And I have mine

590
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 6: right up next to my wives now. So it's that's

591
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 6: a pretty special one. It's pretty cool to have that

592
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 6: with her. And then I mean, I gotta I played

593
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 6: Atlanta a couple of years ago, and I'm a I'm

594
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 6: a Braves fan as a kid because growing up in

595
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 6: Nationalist Braves or Saint Louis, I chose Braves and Chipper

596
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 6: Jones is my favorite play her. I did not know

597
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: he was at the at the show, and I had

598
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 6: his jersey on, and he came up and we coughed

599
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 6: and did all the things. He signed the back of

600
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 6: it Hall of Fame shipper, So I put that in

601
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 6: the frame and I've got it up there in that

602
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 6: memory and that we know he was at the show

603
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 6: and I was gonna the show. That a really cool

604
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 6: We're in the Jersey and that was that was cool.

605
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: I felt.

606
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 6: I felt like, you know, such a huge fan fangirl

607
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 6: on it. But he was like, he's so nice. He

608
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 6: gave me his number. I appreciate that. Like Chipper Jones,

609
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 6: I text every now and then with him and it's like,

610
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 6: that's cool. I don't get it, but I'll take it.

611
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: Did he come up? Did you find out after the show?

612
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 2: Uh? Yes, I found out. Well, no, I found out

613
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: right before I was going on.

614
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: See I don't want to know that. I don't want

615
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: to know after and then.

616
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: I saw I saw him over in the corner, and

617
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 6: then I didn't meet him. And then after that I

618
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 6: got to meet him and spend some time and do

619
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 6: the thing.

620
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: And I'd have been like, don't don't stand him in

621
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: the eyes? Yeah, don't.

622
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 2: I was. I was looking at the whole time. Does

623
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: he like this?

624
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: What was he thinking about this? Kobe calais on one

625
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: of the songs on your new record, So why Kolby?

626
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: How'd that come together?

627
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 6: Man, I've been singing with her in my car since

628
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 6: since college, and uh, I you know, recently the last

629
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 6: couple of years have gotten to know her. We weren't

630
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 6: like super close, we got to know her and I

631
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 6: did one of those things. I actually wrote that song

632
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 6: with Teddy Swims, another incredible singer, and but when I

633
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 6: got into the studio to record it, I just kept

634
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 6: hearing Kobe's voice on it, and I did that thing

635
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 6: where you text the artist.

636
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I was so nervous, Oh so you asked yourself.

637
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm so scared, Like I hate asking any favors

638
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 6: of anybody or any you know, no, that song is

639
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 6: not for me. But I did and she responded back

640
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 6: pretty quick and was like I've been wanting to ask

641
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 6: you for something one time, and I was like, oh

642
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 6: my gosh. So it ended up working out organically and perfect.

643
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 6: And I'm just such a fan of hers, and it

644
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 6: was so cool to get in the studio and like

645
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 6: be mixing something and hearing her voice come back through

646
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 6: the speakers instead of just like in my car. I

647
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 6: was like I had to stop her a couple of

648
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 6: times and be like, hey, I'm listening to Kobe Lay

649
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 6: right now.

650
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: On the other room because it's pretty cool.

651
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: You could be like, hey, we do we count me in?

652
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, that joke got overdone a few times.

653
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: I want to play a little bit of that. Here

654
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: is Trek seven on the new record. It's called Guests

655
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: We'll Never Know with Kolby Kela covered Iris from Googo Dolls.

656
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, how to do it? It's one of my

657
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: all time faves.

658
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: I've heard you play it.

659
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's great.

660
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: It's a like such a fun song anyway, and everybody

661
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: kind of knows it.

662
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 6: Everybody knows it's such a nostalgic song and I don't know,

663
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 6: it just makes It's just that song that brings out

664
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 6: the fields no matter what. So we had some extra

665
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 6: time in the studio that day and I was like,

666
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: let's do our version.

667
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: Woke up in a dream the tour, so I don't know,

668
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: tell me about like what what do you do? You

669
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: have a when do you play your hits? Because you

670
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: have multiple hits now, Like what's the strategy? That's that

671
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: was the hardest part this year is figuring that out.

672
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: Because I'm I'm a big proponent of play the songs

673
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: that got you there. I'm not I'm not gonna name names,

674
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: but I've gone a couple of concerts recently where they

675
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: didn't play this the songs, and I'm like telling you that.

676
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: So we definitely have our songs in there that that

677
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: have given us a career, and but we wanted up

678
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: throwing a few new ones. So the hardest part was

679
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: finding the order where it's not enough too many new

680
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: ones in a row. So we play them throughout the

681
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. We in the we in the set with

682
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: like you know, I'll.

683
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 6: Godrunk drunk me at the end, we do you drunk

684
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 6: me into IRIS, and it's just such a virus.

685
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: It works great.

686
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 6: And that's how we ended up doing Iris was one

687
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 6: day I was on stage and I finished the chords

688
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: and drunk Me and just kept playing the chords and

689
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 6: Iris lyrics came to my head and I just tried

690
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 6: it once and everyone sung it and I was like,

691
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 6: let's do that again tomorrow, and did that for about

692
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 6: two years and I was like, let's just cut it.

693
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 6: So it kind of it kind of works into that song.

694
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, we we we try to. We

695
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: do polls and stuff like what do you want to hear?

696
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 6: And now I have a I have a part of

697
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: this set where I I just grabbed my guitar and

698
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 6: I ask people, what do you want to hear? If

699
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 6: there's some deep cuts or other songs that you want

700
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 6: to you know that we might not play anymore.

701
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: I want to try to give them some of that.

702
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: He used to do that. Eddie and I would do

703
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: that on our comedy tour. But we would it didn't matter.

704
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Everybody would yell everything, so you couldn't prove what they

705
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: were saying, so we would just know what we were

706
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: gonna play.

707
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 6: That is, you definitely have some in the back of

708
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 6: your head. But you know everyone has her cell phone

709
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 6: now with the type on it. Yeah, so though if

710
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 6: I can see a song that that helps, you can't.

711
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: You definitely can't hear when they're yelling. That is a

712
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 6: good point.

713
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: We'd be like, oh, you want to hear walk five

714
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: hundred miles? Yeah, okay, and no but he said it.

715
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: We'd be like, when I wake up, I'm gonna be

716
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: we know that one and like nobody has ever a

717
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: requested in the history of our life, but that's what

718
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: we would do.

719
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: That's a good cough done that before.

720
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad.

721
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: I think that's the way to go on.

722
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: In a good place. Twenty tracks on this thing. That's

723
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: a lot of songs.

834
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,680

00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 1: could sing? Oh?

836
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 7: Dude, I started singing twenty nineteen after kidding me like

837
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 7: five years ago.

838
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: It's stupid. And then this five years already killing it

839
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: like this, this is a I'm trying. That's awesome. So

840
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: why did you start singing? Ah?

841
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 7: I had nothing else, man, I was. I was right

842
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 7: off dropping out of college. I just broke my leg

843
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 7: for the third time. So I dropped out of school

844
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 7: because I was playing football there and music found me again.

845
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 7: I started playing when I was eleven, so I like,

846
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 7: I love music. What do you mean you started playing

847
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 7: to some may give you a guitar piano? Oh cool,

848
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 7: Oh that's even better. I had a little keyboard in

849
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 7: my room and I would just sit back there and

850
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 7: just play and for hours, and nobody knew that I

851
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 7: could play.

852
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: I just played for myself. And I wouldn't have thought

853
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: you could play piano because you have a single mustache.

854
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Unfair of me to feel that way. It's absolutely unfair.

855
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: But most people were just a cool single mustache. Don't

856
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: go I play piano. Oh thanks, Yeah, that's right. You're

857
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: surprising us in every way. You broke your like three

858
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: times playing ball, Yes, sir, yeah, first time.

859
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 7: First time was I was pretty young, like seventh grade

860
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 7: or something like that. Twice on my left knee and

861
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 7: then once on my rent ankle.

862
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: Slash leg classic, weak legs hoey yeah, classic. So just

863
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: some stuff that I was reading about you. It says

864
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: you won four state championships, sir, And what three in track?

865
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Then one in football? What did you run in track?

866
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: One?

867
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 7: Tens? Actually I didn't get first one tens. I got second,

868
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 7: but that much, but I was pull vault four x one.

869
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 7: Then we won as a men's team, like a whole

870
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 7: men's team. And then football your parents athletes?

871
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, back in the day, my.

872
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 7: Dad was a pretty good football player. Then my mom

873
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 7: was an animal. She was just working out a lot,

874
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 7: and like, she's awesome.

875
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: When did you win your football state championship? What year

876
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen? I think was that? What year in high school?

877
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: Was that my senior year? That's awesome, like your senior year.

878
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: Because what sucks is if you went like your sophomore year,

879
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: in the next two years, you don't meet expectations. Like, yeah,

880
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: that was so what position did you play? I was

881
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: a receiver and so you went from playing receiver winning

882
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: state championship to play collegeball. Where'd you go Montana Montana

883

00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 7: the year there's like two feet of snow on the ground.

886
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,279

Speaker 1: Pretty much just packed up my stuff.

933
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 7: I mean I visited Nashville to make sure, but when

934
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 7: it came down to like crunch time moving here, I

935
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 7: packed on my stuff in one of those shipping containers

936
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 7: that you can ship across the country, like a pod

937
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 7: type thing.

938
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a pod thing.

939
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 7: All of my stuff that I owned fit in that

940
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 7: little pod. And then I just packed up my car

941
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 7: and then me and my mom drove down here.

942
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: And where do you move? Do you find an apartment

943
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: with a roommate? What was the living situation for you?

944
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: Every new artist is a different story. Well, I didn't

945
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: know anybody.

946
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 7: I didn't know anything about anything really, so I moved

947
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 7: right across tin roof onto mumbrooon.

948
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: Well for a new artist, good looking guy, you know

949
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: what that's going to get you in trouble or really awesome?

950
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it did.

951
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, but yeah, that was my first apartment when I

952
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 7: first moved to town.

953
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: And it was a culture shock for sure. So when

954
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: you come to town and you see other people, because

955
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: this is the land of giants, even when you first

956
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: move here and you see people that are just struggling

957
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 1: and they're still they're awesome, right, Like you gotta be

958
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: awesome to just make tips in a bar when you

959
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: come when you start to see other people that are

960
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: playing and they're really great, and to make it you say,

961
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: culture shock was it? Holy cow, I've got some real

962
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: competition here one.

963
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 7: Numb percent dude, And like literally everywhere you turn in Nashville,

964
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 7: there's just someone that can shred like you know, crazy,

965
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 7: and I'm like or sing like crazy. I'm like, dude,

966
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 7: I gotta I gotta work my ass off to do

967
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 7: what I want to do.

968
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: And I noticed that really quick. So that's what I did. So, yeah,

969
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Do you start just writing a

970
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: whole lot? Do you like who do you find that

971
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of walks you through the process a little bit?

972
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: Did you find like a friend early on that's like, hey,

973
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: I've been here a couple years, I can help you.

974
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: Not really, uh I. What I did was just like

975
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: meet a bunch of people. I would go out to bars.

976
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 7: I was twenty at the time when I first moved,

977
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 7: so I'd go out to bars.

978
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: But he was during COVID, so like, hey, we just

979
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: want business.

980
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 7: We're not checking IDs right now, you know, And uh

981
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 7: So I would just meet people and then I met

982
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 7: I was super blessed to meet like a super solid

983
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 7: group of people.

984
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: But they weren't in the music industry. But you know,

985
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: we'd go out and mingle and whatnot. And then I

986
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: started meeting a bunch of songwriters and then I signed

987
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: my publishing deal with Backblocks, and that's when I first

988
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: really started like getting into writing every single day, sometimes

989
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: even twice a day for three years straight. Did you

990
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: do the writers rounds at all? At first?

991
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 7: I did, like one when I first moved to town

992
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 7: and I realized, I don't know what I'm doing at all.

993
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 7: It was that ten roof on Broadway, and I was

994
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 7: the most nerve wracking thing I've probably ever done in

995
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 7: my life because because I've never done it, and I've

996
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 7: never really played in front of people other than, you know,

997
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 7: than playing around a kitchen table with my buddies or

998
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 7: a campfire, you know, back home, and it was nerve wracking.

999
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Did you play any shows back home where you got paid? No?

1000
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: So here were your first paying gigs. My first paying

1001
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: gig was last week. Last week.

1002
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 4: Sounds like just kidding, Oh.

1003
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: Gosh, it was. It was probably like two years ago.

1004
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: And it was because the radio station heard what I

1005
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: was doing down here back home. You know, it's a

1006
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: super small radio station, but they're like, hey, let's just

1007
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: have a hometown show. And I just played cover of

1008
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: songs and they paid me and my band to come out.

1009
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Yeah, you get paid to do something

1010
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 1: you love to do. Yeah, so you committed. Now you're

1011
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: going to do that. You can be an artist forever.

1012
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, good, I hope so you should. You're

1013
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: real good. Thank you, man, I appreciate it. Is it

1014
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: different than you thought though, a little bit? Like the

1015
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: amount of effort that goes into having to be a

1016
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: new artist. It's a lot of missing sleep, It's a lot. Yeah,

1017
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: I haven't.

1018
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 7: I've slept probably ten hours in the least seventy two plus.

1019
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 7: You know, it's just go, go, go go, and when

1020
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 7: you get rest, you take it because you don't really

1021
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 7: have the energy to do anything else.

1022
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: Just take care of your legs. Man. Oh yeah, that's

1023
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: my advice to talk about more three times. We don't

1024
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: need another one. You know. I did take the third

1025
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: one to get him here. You're doing a headlining tour

1026
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: the Waves on a sunset tour. Yes, that's pretty exciting.

1027
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: It's nuts already headlining. Do you get nervous because now

1028
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: it's you? Now it's you on the on theatal, on

1029
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: the website, like people got to go. I want to

Speaker 1: go see Talker web more. Do you are the tickets

1031
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: to the show? Have they? Have they been sold yet?

1032
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: Have you put them up as an on sale? Did

1033
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: you get nervous watching the on sale a little bit?

1034
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: It's all sold out though, Well that's a good flex.

1035
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: Like I wish I was a kiss. So when I

1036
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: will sell tickets like my comedy shows, I will. I

1037
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: will log on right and I'll watch every theater and

1038
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: look at seats and I'm hyper hyper obsessed with being

1039
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: a loser again because I think that's what's gonna happen

1040
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: to me. But you've never been a loser, so yeah,

1041
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: one way to go, Like twelve years from now, when

1042
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: you've had super success, you're on your loser cycle. We'll

1043
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: talk about it, all right, dude, congratulations you guys. You

1044
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: go to Tucker's instagram. The tour sold out. That's crazy.

1045
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: That sold out. It's nuts.

1046
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: Due that's that moment in the bathroom we talked about earlier, crying.

1047
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: That's That's what I'm going to do after you leave,

1048
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: because I'm like sold that.

1049
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 4: No, that that moment is what led to sold out shows.

1050
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 4: But if we could circle back to that because I'm curious,

1051
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 4: like what you sort of just went there, if you

1052
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 4: can share a little bit more about that vulnerability of

1053
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 4: like what was going on that made you break and

1054
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 4: say like, hey, god, it's been a while.

1055
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1056
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 7: So, like I said, like for a few months, I

1057
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 7: just wasn't feeling right, even though everything that I wanted

1058
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 7: emotionally was happening. Yeah, emotionally and spiritually. You know, I

1059
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 7: grew up super shrow on my faith. Like we said,

1060
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 7: my grandpa was a pastor, so I grew up in

1061
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 7: the church, but I hadn't been praying, you know.

1062
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: When I moved to college and I've just been partying

1063
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: a lot. Literally, I would wake up, skip class, go

1064
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: to practice, partying out with my buddies, hang out, and

1065
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: then do the same thing, wake up, work out, That's

1066
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: what I would do.

1067
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 7: And I was like, this is not how I want

1068
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 7: to live, you know. And then I sat down and

1069
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,959
Speaker 7: opened myself up, and then he gave me a sign

1070
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 7: and I listened.

1071
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: Is it cool to hear people singing back songs that

1072
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: aren't like the singles?

1073
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's like the coolest part of it all, Like you, honey,

1074
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 7: people poor loving that one break first, when I am Luking.

1075
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 7: You know, it's not like a huge collection of songs,

1076
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 7: but people are listening and licking them.

1077

1109
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,480

Speaker 1: He brings you up. He went to your show, and

1111
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: he was did you know this? Did not know that?

1112
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: So he mentioned going to one, he mentioned going to

1113
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: one of your shows. He's a big fan of yours. Wow.

1114
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: We were talking about music and he was like, you know,

1115
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: I like Joe Nichols and he said he and his

1116
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: wife went to your show. And I thought that was

1117
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And I know if you're a Stone Cold

1118
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: fan or not, but I thought, yeah, who doesn't love

1119
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: Stone Cold Steve Austin.

1120
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,120

1121
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: You know, the stone called Steve Austin. Yeah, like he's

1122
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: one of the most famous people of our childhood.

1123
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 8: Inky, y'all didn't know that's what Arkansas does. On third downs,

1124
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 8: they played the Stone call Steve.

1125
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I had to explained that that's okay. Him

1126
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: and I having a private conversation and you don't read him.

1127
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: He never said what's up. He just came to the

1128
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: show and right, have you ever met Stone Cold? I've

1129
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: never met him, so I don't know. Maybe, yeah, he

1130
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: was at a show. You're like, it was him and

1131
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: George Strait. You know, he brought up. He brought you

1132
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: up at George Strait.

1133
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 8: For a long time, I did drink a lot, So

1134
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 8: it's possible that some of those years I didn't know anybody.

1135
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: I didn't meet anybody. Really, I feel like it was

1136
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: pretty recent though, don't you think I think he said

1137
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: it was recent? Well, then I have no excuse. Yeah,

1138
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: but I think he just wanted to go to the

1139
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: show as a normal guy. Huh. And he did, and

1140
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: he was like he loves Joe Nichols.

1141
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

1142
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: I know. I thought you'd want to know that because

1143
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: I woun't want to know that. Well, uh, if you

1144
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: see him again. You probably won't, but if I do,

1145
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell him. You ever have like people reach out

1146
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: and come to a show, like who's been the coolest

1147
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: like athlete or like other artists or celebrity to ever

1148
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: come to a show?

1149
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, it's a weird group of people, I

1150
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 8: gotta say. And most of the time they canceled the

1151
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 8: last minute. Uh Tebow was supposed to come to a show.

1152
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 8: I think he canceled the last minute. I don't know

1153
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 8: what it is about me they cancel last minute.

1154
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: I tried to say, something's life on the side of

1155
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: the road, something like he was probably coming to the

1156
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: show and had to like stop and that's broke.

1157
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, Uh, let's see.

1158
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: You know, there's some some strange stuff.

1159
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 8: I think in act Sean Penn, I think was supposed

1160
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 8: to come to the show we did in San Francisco.

1161
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: Somebody's supposed to come. Is it may ever show up?

1162
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 8: No, I'm like I've been a show. Time'm like we're showing.

1163
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 8: He's supposed to be here, Like, ah, yeah, he gets stuck,

1164
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 8: he couldn't make it. He's with the governor or something

1165
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 8: like that.

1166
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: It was. It was something like that, who have you

1167
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: found out was a big fan of yours? Then let's

1168
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: say that, because I guess t Bow and Shan Pinn

1169
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: would count. If they wanted to come to a show,

1170
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: they must have known who you were.

1171
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 8: I would imagine that conversation was like, who am I

1172
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 8: going to see tonight?

1173
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: Who's that guy again? Why am I? Why am I there?

1174
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 8: It was for a performing arts place out there in

1175
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 8: San Francisco. Man, you know a lot of football players.

1176
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 8: That DJ Moore that plays the Bears. Yeah, he's He

1177
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,839

00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 8: really think you know my name. And so anyway, we

1237
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 8: got together and came to soundcheck. We wanted to do

1238
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 8: Broken Heartsfield for his album release, and so went to

1239
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 8: soundcheck and I was ready, and I was so ready.

1240
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 8: In situations like that, you never know what to expect.

1241
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 8: I was so expecting. I got to go, yeah, didn't

1242
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 8: you sing this one song? You know, and then have

1243
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 8: to learn broken Heartsfield. We're not really a fan. But

1244
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 8: he kind of knew who I was a little not

1245
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 8: that guy at all. He was like, man, this is

1246
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 8: such a cool deal. And I knew all of it,

1247
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 8: and he kind of knew a lot of stuff that

1248
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 8: I wasn't expecting to know. And I came out there

1249
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 8: and you know, soundcheck, sang the first line, wore that

1250
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 8: cowboy hat, and he's like, ah.

1251
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: This is amazing.

1252
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 8: I was like, oh man, this makes me feel like

1253
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 8: I'm singing this for the first time, Like.

1254
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: Is this impressive? Is this good? That's great? That's really cool. Yeah,

1255
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: that's super cool guy. Did you get your close iron though?

1256
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: Like all my wrinkles are all gone? The question that

1257
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: story is they did get ironed?

1258
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1259
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 8: I don't know if you've ever done this. I had

1260
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 8: to learn this lesson the hard way. But don't ever

1261
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 8: iron naked that it's a terrible habit. I learned, and

1262
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 8: I had to unlearn it quick.

1263
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: I would imagine it was the hot water would get

1264
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: you the steam water? Yeah, because I put water when

1265
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: I iron That's not what I was thinking about.

1266
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, unless you're not coordinated and just bumping stuff.

1267
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I feel yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1268
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: never have. I don't do a lot of ironing. I go,

1269
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: I go to the dryer. I'm just a dude, you know.

1270
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: I go to the dry Yeah. I just throw in

1271
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: the dryer and it is what it is when it

1272
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: comes out. You know, if it survives, it survives. I

1273
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: was reading it's nineteen years and since Tequila makes her

1274
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: clothes fall off? Oh my god, right, is it nineteen

1275
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: years years? That's wild. It feels like that that I

1276
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: would just listening to that song like living life. Yeah,

1277
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: does that feel like many lives ago or yesterday? Both?

1278
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: It feels like it happened last year. You know. It's

1279
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: such a big kind of career song for me. Man,

1280
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes many of those things happened to

1281
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: somebody else.

1282
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 8: It feels like, you know, the Broken Heartsville era of

1283
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 8: my life and then Tequila and then you know the

1284
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 8: later hits. Like I said, it all kind of feels

1285
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 8: like different people for different different reasons. I was crazy

1286
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 8: in two thousand and five and two thousand and six,

1287
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 8: I mean crazy and uh, I'm going to work fur

1288
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 8: coats and stuff.

1289
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: Like that kind of season. This guy's lost his mind.

1290
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 8: Like I show up like middle of the afternoon in

1291
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 8: a suit, like I'm here to.

1292
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: Do something Iron two and iron burn coat.

1293
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 8: But no, I was a little crazy. But yeah, it

1294
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 8: does feel like many lives ago.

1295
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: Nineteen years I mean, it makes me start to feel

1296
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: like that's many lives ago because that's a song that

1297
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: I can remember where I was in my life. Like

1298
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: there are nine or ten, twelve of those songs that

1299
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: you hear and you're like, oh man, it kind of

1300
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: puts me in that place where I was now nineteen

1301
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: years ago and now here you are. I don't know.

1302
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: For you, I feel like you could just play all

1303
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: the hits and be good. Yeah, but also there's an

1304
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: artist part of you that wants to keep creating. How

1305
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: do you balance that? Uh?

1306
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 8: Well, I keep finding myself wanting to cut new music,

1307
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 8: and I've heard some of my friends that have kind

1308
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 8: of walked away a little bit that goes away, like

1309
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 8: I don't really want to cut anything else I've done

1310
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 8: what I've done. You know, it's a it's kind of

1311
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 8: a grind to do new music, you know, from the

1312
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 8: production of it to you know, the promotion of it.

1313
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 8: It's just a long, busy process. And like you're right,

1314
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 8: and like you said, you're right, I could probably set

1315
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 8: sail a little bit if I wanted to.

1316
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, be fine.

1317
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 8: I remember that moment my book, and Agy told me

1318
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 8: that he's like, all right, at this point, we justly

1319
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 8: have this conversation with our artists. If you never had

1320
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 8: another hit, never had another thing, you'd be fine. Here's

1321
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 8: what you're gonna do, here's the money you get, blah blah,

1322
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 8: blah blah. And I'm like, all right, that sounds a

1323
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 8: lot like you want me to hire and no, no, no,

1324
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 8: just saying if you're ever thinking about, you know, where

1325
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 8: you're at in life, where you're at in your career,

1326
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 8: you could end it today and you'd be fine, And like,

1327
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 8: oh go, it makes me want to start over again.

1328
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to get to that point. And so

1329
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: honky tonks and country songs and do all the songs

1330
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: kind of sound because I've heard some of the songs.

1331
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: They all kind of feel like you're in a hockey talk. Yeah.

1332
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think for the most part, we got a guitar, guitar. Yeah,

1333
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 8: we got still guitar. We got a even fiddle on this.

1334
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 8: Can you believe that we got fiddle steal guitar.

1335
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot of dance stuff. You know.

1336
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 8: When I started playing in clubs in the mid nineties,

1337
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,720
Speaker 8: we used to do a lot of you know, Beaches

1338
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 8: of Cheyenne and a lot of George Straight songs that

1339
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 8: you dance to, two steppers and even some line dancing,

1340
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 8: and so this album has a lot of those on there.

1341
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 8: That's that's what I remember about the nineties being cool

1342
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 8: is we had a lot of stuff you could dance too.

1343
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1344
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: I go Electric Cowboy. Oh yeah, yeah, they play Nelly,

1345
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: but I would freaking nail some George Straight. I two step.

1346
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: My grandma taught me a two step. I was multi

1347
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: dimensional at the Electric Cowboy because I can't grind. I

1348
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: can also two step. I needed to. I want to

1349
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: play the new song here better than you. So Annie

1350
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: Bosco part of the song, Yeah tell me about this,

1351
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: watch you pick the song.

1352
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 4: So.

1353
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 8: The song is co written by one of the co

1354
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 8: producers of My record, and it's kind of rare that

1355
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,720
Speaker 8: you see a song that's actually written for as a duet.

1356
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1357
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 8: That's what they did with this song, and we knew

1358
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 8: it was a hit. We felt like it was a

1359
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 8: hit anyway if we just didn't screw it up. It

1360
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 8: felt like one of those Aldan duets that he's had

1361
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 8: a lot of success with. And so we're like, all right,

1362
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 8: now we need a good duet partner. And we kind

1363
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 8: of talked about some of the younger artists and like, an,

1364
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 8: I wouldn't feel right. You know, I'm not sixty, but

1365
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 8: I'm not twenty, so you know, kind of age appropriate here.

1366
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 8: Let's let's get somebody that would be believable. And so

1367
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 8: they crossed, like the mega Maroney's off the list, so

1368
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 8: like that's creepy.

1369
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: Like the love of your life, right, So we.

1370
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 8: We kind of started talking about artists and Benny Brown

1371
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 8: who just signed this this girl any Bosco from California,

1372
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 8: great singer, phenomenal singer and a phenomenal personality, like a

1373
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 8: super charming lady. And he's like, man, check out her

1374
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 8: live show and see what you think. And we did

1375
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 8: a show together in El Paso, Texas, and she sang

1376
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 8: like Chris christoffers and songs. And I was expecting like

1377
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 8: the young you know, let me talk about Max's boyfriend

1378
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 8: all that kind of stuff, and she was like super

1379
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 8: into the old stuff like I get into. And so

1380
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 8: I was like, Okay, we got this is a little

1381
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 8: bit of magic, and so I asked her to be

1382
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 8: a part of that. We asked her to be a

1383
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 8: part of that, and she's like, absolutely, let's do this.

1384
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 8: And you know, she sang it great. She works her

1385
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 8: tail off, works really hard. She's super pretty, you know,

1386
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 8: which makes you know who she is. Makes it awkward

1387
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 8: with my wife, and.

1388
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen her or like I like

1389
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: watch her videos on TikTok or something. Yeah, because as

1390
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: soon as I saw that you did the song with her,

1391
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: I was like, how do I know, Annie? I think

1392
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: that's how like like because I obviously follow a lot

1393
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: of country music people on TikTok. Yeah, I think I've

1394
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: just seen her perform. She's good. She is good. Yeah,

1395
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: she's really good.

1396
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 8: And she does great on the social media stuff, which

1397
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 8: I do not do well. I think my the things

1398
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 8: that I think are funny, I'll send to the people

1399
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 8: that post stuff and like this is funny, right, and

1400
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 8: they're like, oh God, don't even say that, Like.

1401
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: Why are you ironing naked? Why did you say a

1402
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: video you ironing naked?

1403
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 2: Joe Hotel?

1404
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: All right, Joe's got this album Honky Talks and Country Songs.

1405
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: It comes out October twenty fifth. He's got some songs

1406
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: out from it now. But country Boy Can Survive is

1407
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: that's like a legendary song obviously in country music. But

1408
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: you talk about just Arkansas, where we come from. On

1409
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: a Friday Saturday, I mean just playing like even at

1410
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: when Walmart parking lot, somebody's got their windows down playing

1411
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: this song loud. So you covered this?

1412
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 8: It did, yeah, completely not a dancer, not a dance

1413
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 8: song really more of a tailgate or a bonfire.

1414
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: Song, Walmart parking lots song. Yeah, why this one of boy?

1415
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: It's a great song. But I wonder what drew you

1416
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: to cover this?

1417
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 8: So it's it began with something I did live. I

1418
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 8: did a cover of Rooster, the Alison Chains song.

1419
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: Nick called the Rooster. I said, what you did, yeah, dude,

1420
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 1: And that's cool.

1421
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 8: It was because the character kind of seems like the

1422
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 8: same guy, like this guy come back from Vietnam and

1423
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 8: he's just a country boy Cancer Vibe guy, a little

1424
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 8: can't mess with megs, I'll mess with you kind of guy.

1425
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 8: We've known a lot of those people, you know, from

1426
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 8: being where we're from, and so I mashed it up

1427
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 8: live and it works great because a lot of country fans,

1428
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 8: a lot of older country fans today know Alison Chains

1429
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 8: music and like they've come over to the country a

1430
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 8: little bit like me. I love Alison Chains back in

1431
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 8: the nineties, So.

1432
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: That mashup was cool.

1433
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 8: Lives wanted to do it in the studio when we

1434
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 8: got a studio doing a mashup, and like, I don't

1435
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 8: know if we can make this work without cutting it

1436
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 8: separately and then doing some magic, you know, technology wise

1437
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 8: and making that happen. And so we ended up cutting

1438
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 8: two separate tracks and getting a really good cut on

1439
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 8: the entire country Board Cancer Vive track, and I'm.

1440
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: Like, well, this is pretty cool. Maybe we should keep this.

1441
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 8: I'm usually I'm like, let's not cut Hello Darling or

1442
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 8: Friends of Little Places, or you know, any kind of

1443
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 8: signature song. You stay away from those things, you know,

1444
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 8: because you're gonna make everybody mad and it's never gonna

1445
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 8: be as good as the original. I feel like we

1446
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 8: got a good enough cut where it's not like, oh god,

1447
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 8: we did this. The energy's right. It's got a cool,

1448
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 8: like break away from the album moment. You know, there's

1449
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 8: something recognizable in there. Got a little bit grit.

1450
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: You still live away from Nashville, right, Yeah. I feel

1451
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: like if you don't live here, you can actually separate

1452
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: and have a real human life and then a real

1453
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: professional life. Yeah why did you seek that out? I

1454
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: had no choice on the matter. Really.

1455
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 8: I got married in two thousand and seven, and my

1456
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 8: wife made it about a year in Nashville, and she's like,

1457
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 8: I'm going to Texas. So you can come with me

1458
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 8: or not, but I'm going to Texas. And I don't

1459
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 8: think she fit in really a lot here, and I

1460
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 8: was gone a lot, so I was on the road.

1461
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 8: She'd be home, you know, at the house, and you know,

1462
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 8: we've talked about raising kids, and so she's like, you know,

1463
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 8: I got my family in East Texas. You know that

1464
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 8: ain't really fair to me to kind of let make

1465
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 8: me raise a kid alone here in Nashville where I

1466
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 8: don't really like anybody.

1467
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's and you're gone all I mean it's

1468
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: a great point. You're not here that much anyway.

1469
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, and and there's just a lot of stuff that,

1470
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 8: you know, I want to raise the kids in a

1471
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 8: normal life, normal normal crowd.

1472
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: You know that they can kind of get through.

1473
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 8: Not anything knock against Nashville, but that you do have

1474
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 8: to kind of fit into a groove here. That's you know,

1475
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 8: people are kind of related to the business somehow.

1476
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: It's not all reality all the time. Yeah, it's a

1477
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it's a weird place. I would imagine to have kids too,

1478
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: because I mean, you got like other celebrity kids running

1479
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: around and probably yeah, yeah, I know. I admire the

1480
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: fact that you know, you chunk deuces and got out

1481
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: of here, like that's awesome. Uh so is she from there?

1482
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: Is that like her family? She's from Longview? Right, that's

1483
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: where you want to be in your family anyway.

1484
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Right.

1485
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, save on childcare, that's all I hear. Save

1486
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: on childcare. It's easy to do. That's right. Well, it's
