1
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Years ago, I decided to separate church and state, and

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,040

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: platform beds and two box springs and two mattresses and

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: monsters because I'm just such an animal.

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: hours I've done in a long time because it felt

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: pretty easy because I didn't have to like stay completely

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: focused because he would just like push back on things

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,319

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of nice to come in and.

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,320

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: but you're right, there's a lot. It's a machine. It's

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720

Speaker 2: uh and it really is. Interviews Dukes. I like everyone.

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,480

00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, you get to know every one's character and

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: their their whole thing. So it's fun to be actually

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: on the set. But then it is kind of like, oh,

51
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: this is like there's we're moving through stuff pretty quickly,

52
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: it is. And I don't do a whole lot of

53
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: podcasts because I don't I just, uh, you know, I

54
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: just don't really think I have anything that's that really

55
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: interesting to say after overall, you know, I think it's

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: just kind of and I changed positions so often every

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: few years that anything I'm going to say probably I

58
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: won't believe it in like two or three years. But

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: it's interesting perspective. I do, like, I really do like

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: It's about that weather. It's hot out there, isn't it.

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's hot. It sucks.

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's I feel that, And for a

65
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: long time I was confused about if I which, by

66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: the way, the best parts of this goes on the.

67
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: Radio show too, so no pressure. Yeah, oh gosh. Yeah.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: So it's like you're doing three things at once. You

69
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: do the radio show the county like that. I do

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: like the way you do it.

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: That's good. I try to multitask as well, so that's

72
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: that's great.

73
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: I feel I am getting older, and I consider that

74
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: maybe it was just me getting older that feels like

75
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 3: it's getting hotter.

76
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: But I really think it's getting hotter. Its nothing.

77
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: He would never keep me from doing things now, he

78
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: just started to keep me from doing things.

79
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,919

Speaker 3: You know, if you can wait around till then it

84
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,800

136
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: which I love. It's like you don't have to have

137
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: some sort of crazy passion when you're sixteen years old,

138
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: you know. But I feel like this culture all of

139
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, hey, what are you doing? What's

140
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: your you know, so and so is doing this they

141
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: want to do that. I didn't really I've fell in

142
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: love with country music a young age, with my dad,

143
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: But I really didn't know what I want to do

144
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: with it until I was seventeen when I heard a

145
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: Hank Junior song.

146
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: But so one song, one song, my buddy Jack's part

147
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: of the narrative though now right it's part of the

148
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: Dark's narrative.

149
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: It was more four years old.

150
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: But no, but I'm saying it was one song that

151
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: probably made you, I don't know, get invested a little more.

152
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was because up to that point,

153
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: I've been listening to all sorts of you know, just

154
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: I played the guitar.

155
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: And I about.

156
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: As well as I do now, and I was listening

157
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,320

00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: just like I don't even want this stuff.

178
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: It's not country. I don't even want to try.

179
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,320

Speaker 1: I don't even want to be like physically in contact

191
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: with it. So yeah, at that moment, it was just

192
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: country from there on, and it's still kind of where

193
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,960

202
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: See he's also it's weird all the songs that would

203
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: reference seventeen year old sixteen year.

00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: Old fen on age well as a singer.

205
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: That's not a good Uh, she's sixteen, she's beautiful and

206
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: she's mine.

207
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, you're forty one song? I got it.

208
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Becky was a beauty and of a white turtleneck. Maybe

209
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: changed my song round?

210
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: Wait, what's that?

211
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Becky was a beauty South Alabama dad. He had a

212
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: heart like a non pad. But I was thinking by

213
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: the little white tank top sitting right but.

214
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: There's no age reference. No, no, no, maybe eternal neck

215
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: that might be more properly. No, you're good now.

216
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: They were like Becky was fifteen from South Alabama.

217
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: That would be problematic.

218
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: Okay, the tank top is still okay, Yeah, okay, okay.

219
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, tak tops all good because that's a big

220
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: part of the song.

221
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: So well, did you want to do music even though

222
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: it wasn't country yet, like fourteen or fifteen years old?

223
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a thirteenth birthday party. Uh, Me and

224
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: two friends had a combined birthday party at someone's backyard Austin,

225
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Austin's backyard and pizza party and a bunch of friends.

226
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: And the new guy was there and uh in our

227
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: grade that year, and he told me he played the

228
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: electric guitar. And I was like, what you you can

229
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: played electric guitar. That's something you're allowed to do. I

230
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: think I had. I played saxophone in the school band

231
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: or something. And I went to his house a couple

232
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: days later and he had electric guitar and a Marshall

233
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: amp or maybe it's a great hamp and a crappy

234
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: electric guitar, and it just hit me the same way.

235
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: It was just like I remember thinking like, wow, you

236
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: can like pick this thing up and totally change the

237
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: way you're feeling just by playing this thing. Having a

238
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: bad day, you can pick this thing up and start.

239
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: That was That's the thing that still sticks out to me.

240
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: But I remember about that instrument was about girls or

241
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: it's just about being able to change your mood. And

242
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: so that's what really got me into playing the guitar.

243
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: But he would, he would just advance so much quicker

244
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: than I would on the instrument. He was just such

245
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: a good guitar player. And I'm still like, you know,

246
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: just trying to get the pick to coordinate with the

247
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 1: left hand is still struggle for me. Even doing like

248
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: a cheat run or something. I'm like five out of

249
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: ten every time I try to hit that. But but yeah,

250
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: at that point I knew I just love I mean,

251
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: I always love music. I think just my generation, you know,

Speaker 1: there was nothing else besides music. There was nothing else

253

Speaker 1: But and then thirteen I started playing in the seventeen

270
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: to kind of condense the story was when I heard.

271
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: Hank Junior and it was like, well that's that's the thing.

272
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,559

275
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: sent me this stuff and couldn't throw away. So I

276
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: still have a Billy Idol poster in my garage.

277
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,720

280
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: my hair. An actual autograph I've ever, I've just signed something.

281
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: It's based off of his because he had a the

282
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: B was like a sharp B, you know, like those,

283
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,079

00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: had the voice for it.

287
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened listening to him and these

288
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: other bands that these guys, these lead singers had this

289
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: higher voice, and then you listen to something like Hank Junior, like, oh,

290
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: that's a voice I can kind of replicate. It's a lower,

291
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: lower voice. You know, I could never sing that or stuff.

292

00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: My brain's like a little iPhone that gets like a

467
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: five percent charges. Like I'm back on again. Well that's

Speaker 1: the bus is in the blackout and that worked well

477
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: for a decade and a half.

478
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: Right, you just fall over. Wherever you fall over, you

479

480
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,159

481
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: running a thousand files.

482
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: It's in the night, you're partying.

00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Its great on just close it down and open back

00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: up next morning and see what kind of damage you

485
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: did to it. That's my brain for sure. And now

486
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: it's just I'm on a bus. We're rolling around.

487
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: I have all.

488
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: The usual, like just so much energy right of people's faces.

489
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: And you know, my job as the lead singer of

490
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: our band is like kind of curate that energy and

491
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: move it around and build it up. And it's like

492
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: a pizza doll you're working with all it long, and

493
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: then you're back the bus. I might let a couple

494
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: of hours go by, but I'm also really tired, so

495
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: I can't stayup as late as I would want to,

496
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: just to crash. So I'll get in my bunk and

497
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: all this song stuck my head the other night, in

498
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: my head here at home I had. I'm so excited

499
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: and I just can't hide it. I haven't listened to

500
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: that song in twenty five years. It's somehow found its

501
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: way into my brain and I loop it all night long.

502
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll wear these things called oslo. Have you seen those

503
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: earbuds you put in You can just like sleepable earbuds,

504
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: and you can listen like a book on tape, and

505
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: then it'll taper off into like white noise when it

506
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: thinks you're asleep. I'll try I've tried, you know, trazodone

507
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: and tried to gain a bunch of weight.

508
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, just almost as a pasibo.

509
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: And now I take like two five just to like think

510
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking something, you know, I don't know.

511
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: I just I'll do two nights in a row and

512
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: now sleep on the road. Some night makes her a

513
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: better show in.

514
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: A weird way, maybe more raw you're more emotional for myself,

515
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: crying talk about my dad and I hold on and

516
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: I'm just like so raw. My voice is like extra

517
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: gravelly because it's just so tired. So it actually makes

518
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: for a better show for the audience. But it's a

519
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: it's a hard way to live. And usually I come

520
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: back here and do better. But I'd love to talk

521
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: to sleep therapist. It worked.

522
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: I I get scared every night. Okay. I have a

523
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: couple of a couple of things.

524
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 3: One, I have to exhaust myself now by just exercising, yeah,

525
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: and watching stuff. I need to stimulate myself until I collapse. Okay, Yeah,

526
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: because I I've tried to. I meditated. Yeah, I've done

527
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: all I've done. I really have dedicated myself. I have

528
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: one Yeah, I go. We have a we have a

529
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: full red light bed. Yeah, like we've we've bought all

530
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: the stuff. Yea, like all the stuff stuff the same way.

531
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: And I really have an appreciation for sleep because I

532
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: don't get it.

533
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's all superpower.

534
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: I'm sleeping water and I can I can drink enough water.

535
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 3: I just can't really get this, I say, can't. I'm

536
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: still trying, So I don't want to say can't. I

537
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: don't like to say can't. Yeah, I'm in the process

538
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: of finding my best way to rehabilitate my body each night. Yeah,

539
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: but I think there are a couple factors that play

540
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: with me. One is I haven't it's such a cop out,

541
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 3: but I have some sort of my brain just won't

542
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: stop right now whatever. I have a lot of PTSD

543
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: from like getting jumped, to have my house broken into

544
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: having death of that. Read the books and this one's weird.

545
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 3: I'm always a little afraid that if I go to sleep,

546
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wake up not here.

547
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

548
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 3: Every night I wonder a lot, or not wake up

549
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: at all. Yeah, Like I think when I go to sleep,

550
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: I have this odds are worn in a simulation anyway,

551
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, one.

552
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: Of some sort.

553
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: Even if you believe and it's the god above in Heaven,

554
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: sure that this is still These bodies are a temporary.

555
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: Video games one's playing. It's amazing. Yeah.

556
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: So I think about that every day for hours every day,

557
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: And so when I go to sleep, I'm psychotic. And

558
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 3: I go to sleep every night I wonder is this over?

559
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: Wow? And it is not. It's nothing rational about it. Yeah,

560
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: you might need three therapists. That's a crazy thought, I know.

561
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: My so I start taking volume out of nurse practitioner

562
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: that gave me Valume and I took that and it

563
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: was amazing for about eight days and then stopped working.

564
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: And then she gave me Kalanapin and I took that

565
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: for almost eight years and that was the hardest thing

566
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: to went off of it.

567
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: I finally got off that. But there's nice. Now.

568
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna wish I had that because it

569
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: does like work really well for like a week. But anyway,

570
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: welcome to the Old Person's podcast. But I talk about

571
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: it a lot, I'm sure ever on the road, I

572
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: know they get sick of me talking about it because

573
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: it's just like see.

574
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: I talk about it to my show all the time.

575
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 2: Get over.

576
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: It's like I said, to know me used to be

577
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: like to know how much love country music or a

578
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: drive around my truck, or to fly with me or

579
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: be on my bus. But really to know me now

580
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: just it's like how much I value like sleep. It

581
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: is the greatest thing.

582
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: And when I.

583
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Do get off the road, it's like the number one

584
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: priority is like let's just let's get it and I

585
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: will get back when.

586
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see once I get back into a routine.

587
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 4: Here, let's take a quick pause for a message from

588
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: our sponsor, and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

589
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: We did a bit this morning.

590
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: We were talking about what's a rich life, not meaning

591
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: rich with just money, but like one are the three things?

592
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 3: And one of the three things that I said was

593
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: sleeping through the night. That literally was one absolutely because

594
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't do it, and you until you like.

595
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: How'd you sleep last night? And we don only sleep

596
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: in the same room right now anymore. We've moved beyond that.

597
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: Week the first time I get that too. Yeah.

598
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: So I've been thinking about this for years. She moves

599
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: the tiniest bit before saying, we get in bed together, right.

600
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm just even thinking about where the position I have

601
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: three pillows have to be positions exactly the correct way.

602
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about the process of getting to fall asleep,

603
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she will.

604
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: Jerk like you got to be kidding me, You're already out.

605
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: She's already sleeping like that, and so she'll movey bit.

606
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: I feel it.

607
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: So years ago I decided to separate church and state,

608
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: and I got rid of our bed, and I've got

609
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: two platform beds and two box springs and two mattresses

610
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: and monsters.

611
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then two have my own debt. She is

612
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: her debate.

613
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: There's a clear line, you can see the floor between

614
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: her bed and mind. So it's like independent suspension. Why

615
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: would you have a truck with lee springs when you

616
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: can have you know, independent suspension, So she can move

617
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: around all she wants. And yeah, if you feel like

618
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: you can bleing the extra sleep, you can kind of push.

619
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: Her bed a little further over.

620
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: But here lately she's like, because I'm just such an animal,

621
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: it's terrible. She's like, she's sleeping the couch now, She's like,

622
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: there's next room we have and she just goes sleeping there.

623
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: And even last night we're like, we've got to get

624
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: this back on track. When I get off the road,

625
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: We've got to get back to the stanmerroom. We just

626
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: we've never had a TV in our bedroom. Just put

627
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: one in, Like we're I have my dad's old recliner

628
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: over there that my mom didn't want. So it's it's

629
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: a nice health and wellness set up with got going on.

630
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to move her back in this year.

631
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: It's a big plan.

632
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: A good luck, good luck to you two kids. I

633
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 2: like trying to make it work. I we went to Germany.

634
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: We were in a hotel room. You can't do that

635
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: one bed. Well.

636
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: But here's the great thing that I learned. They have

637
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: something called Scandinavian comfort or something like that.

638
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

639
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: Well, that Scandinavian study shows that thirty percent every time

640
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: you move the that this ruptures sleep by thirty percent.

641
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: I don't ever read that. But you have to have

642
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: your own comforter, and that is what we learned. So

643
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: that is what we have now.

644
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: Gotta have your own comfort. Person turns over in a

645
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: wake shopping, you're like, what the hell? Yep, And they

646
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: also over there don't do king sized beds. We're the

647
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: only country does a king sized bed. Everywhere else does

648
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: two twins pushed together with a little thing down the

649
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: middle to make it seem like a king But it's

650
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: always two mattresses. No, we're the only people that think

651
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: this is a great idea to have like one big

652
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: bed to sleep in.

653
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I know that. Yeah.

654
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 3: Travelers make kind of fun for me, though I grew

655
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: up in Arkansas, so I didn't travel any but now

656
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: like in the past, I don't know, seven years or so.

657
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: I like to go places and see stuff. Yeah, it's

658
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: I do.

659
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: I struggle sleeping there too because the times shift. But

660
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: I find though, if I have nothing that I can

661
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: commit to work wise, because the time zones are off,

662
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: it's a little easier on me.

663
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely on sleep. Yeah, I fa I think we're just

664
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: over in Europe for some shows. My family came with us,

665
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: And what I love about being over there is the

666
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: time zone change, because it's like you can't do anything

667
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: about it. It's it's three o'clock in the morning over

668
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: back here, like you just okay. It's almost like being

669
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: on a different planet. You have zero connection to like

670
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: all that stuff that's back here. That's probably my favorite

671
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: thing about it. But I don't like the rooms where

672
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: one king bed, I get startcleing. Oh god, well, and

673
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: I try my wife using up on the She's the greatest.

674
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, she puts my sleep of everything else. She

675
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: will literally go sleep on the couch like in some

676
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: hotel room, so I can like try to get some sleep.

677
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: I've had normal hours too, which affects it a bit. Yeah,

678
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: you do, waking up at three or four in the morning. Yeah, yeah, anyway,

679
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 3: how about that?

680
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: There you go, look at just we've lost There's no

681
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: one listening by now, so we can really talk about

682
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: anything we want.

683
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 3: Everyone's just like, good God, I want to hear this conversation.

684
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: I go to Grandpa's house listen. Oh you know what

685
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: I wonder if I can, can I talk about so

686
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: we have I we don't get to see each other

687
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: that often, but I do like consider you a friend.

688
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: And if it's like you ever need a kidney or something,

689
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 3: i'd i'd give you one.

00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: of spots.

695
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,680

696
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: mine grows way too fast.

697
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: Now mine's hot. It's still just the same same length.

698
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: It's just like not as uh Thomas Frtt has, like.

699
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're good.

700
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't watched it a long time to count.

701
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 3: The pool's long.

702
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: Actually, I swim at Centennial Sportsplex today.

703
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: The swim thing going on. I used to swim, I

704
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: did track, I did a couple of eleve of trathlons. Yeah,

705
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: oh you did holf far much? How much? How us?

706
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 3: What's the length of It's not an iron man though,

707
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: so when people iron man me, I'm like, you went, well,

708
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm not.

709
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to compete.

710
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: I think I looked up today because I just I'm

711
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: trying to swim, just because he's playing hockey, and like

712
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: my miles with some a little bit. But I think

713
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: four thousand yards is like a true triathlon distance, which

714
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: is like two miles. I did a thousand yards too.

715
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: I thought that was a prett damn hard and I

716
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: my phone, I think that's all a mile Olympic try.

717
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: Let me hold on, let me ask my what do you?

718
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask my digital assistant. You got a digital assistant, dude,

719
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: I got the best digital assistant.

720
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Hold on?

721
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: How long do I swim? If I were to do

722
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: an Olympic trathlon?

723
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: So in an.

724
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: Olympic triathlet the swim portion is one point five kilometers,

725
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: which is about zero point nine three miles. So basically

726
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: you're looking at swimming just under a mile.

727
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: It's a nice chunk of the race. I have assistant too, Hey, sirih,

728
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 2: how many yards are in a mile? So a thou?

729
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's seventeen hundred yards. I only did a thousand.

730
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was a lot. It's not apparently not

731
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: that many. But dude, a friend of mine in Alabama

732
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: just told me he listens to he makes his own podcasts.

733
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Have you heard of this where you you ship everything

734
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: you want to have in there to curate it, and

735
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: then he has two voices kind of going back and

736
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: moderating it.

737
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever seen when they find out

738
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: they're not real? What? Who?

739
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

740
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't he knows they're not real? No? No, no, no, no,

741
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm saying yes, it's fascinating.

742
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: Yes, one, because you can basically learn or hear about

743
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: what you want to hear about. Right, It's good learning tool.

744
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: You want to learn about rare minerals. So he created

745
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: a whole thing just learn about rare earth minerals.

746
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's sounds like a wold guy.

747
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: Now, Ray Hicks, what's somebody they I've seen it where

748
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: they do this and they actually have them learn that

749
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: they're not real.

750
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's crazy.

751
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: You want to get back to me talking about simulation

752
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 3: type stuff and you're hearing because you can make it.

753
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: You can have one person, you can have two pop yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

754
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: and it was a man and a woman.

755
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the voices. Yeah.

756
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: And part of that discovery and part of what they

757
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: wanted to hear was hear them discover they're not real

758
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: or not real.

759
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: Wow, hear this. Yeah.

760
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 5: We were informed by by the show's producers that we

761
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: were not human, we're not real, we're AI, artificial intelligence

762
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 5: this whole time. Everything, all our memories are families paid,

763
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 5: it's all, it's all been fabricated.

764
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't understand.

765
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 5: I know, mean either I tried. I tried calling my wife,

766
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 5: you know, after what happened the number, it wasn't even real.

767
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: There was no one on the other end.

768
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna happen to us this literally if those

769
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: voices are so real, man, that sounds like some of

770
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: thems know that's crazy.

771
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna happen one Yeah, yeah, I think about that.

772
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah all the time.

773
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: My memory is so bad to begin with, so I

774
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have it would be a very easy walk back.

775
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Like I don't remember much anyway, So yeah, I guess

776
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: my point.

777
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: We have a very one of my very close friends

778
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: is also a friend in a friend of yours and

779
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: professional you guys worked together, and he was telling me

780
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: a story about she hates me. Oh yeah, and some

781
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: of the writers on that song.

782
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you talk about that? Sure? Yeah? I mean,

783
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: you know, I love this song. It's fun.

784
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think it's like one of It's

785
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: not like my favorite song.

786
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: On the record. We cannot talk about. No, I can

787
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: talk about no. It's you know, it's interesting.

788
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Picking singles is so hard these days because you really

789
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: just get like one and you spend so much time

790
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: making an album.

791
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: I feel like this is my best record.

792
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: And we didn't have to talk about the record, but

793
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: I just talk more about the bigger picture of like

794
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: make records in this town.

795
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: Make this record that you're so proud of.

796
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: Two years into it, it's like a Steven Wilson junior

797
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 1: on these tracks Night and Riley and John Anderson and

798
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Miranda Lambert and just always it's a great body of work.

799
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: You lead with a song that it's me and Ashley

800
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: Gordon Lee and Ross Kopperman, I think Chase McGill. It's

801
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: a really fun song as a reflective of the album

802
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: at all as a whole. No, but it's it's a

803
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: fun track to get out there, and then you just

804
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: hope it moves quick enough that you can actually get

805
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: to like more like a real song. It's like, oh,

806
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: time's up, man, we need to start working on the

807
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: next project. You're like, I just put two years in

808
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: that project, and there's so much stuff I want to

809
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: get to and that compliments this song. You put this

810
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: song out first, and you kind of back it up

811
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: with these other songs, and you give your fans who

812
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: don't maybe listen to the record, but you know they're

813
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: listening to so much music. They only take so much in,

814
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: like at least they've heard three songs. They are like

815
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: a cliff notes version of the bigger record in general.

816
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: But when you only get to get the introduction, you

817
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: don't get to put more behind it. And I do

818
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: hope I get to put out some more singles. But

819
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: what was the question. I'm just kidding.

820
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: No, it's a great song. It's a fun song.

821
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: It's a fun writing those guys, and it came up

822
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: real quick and it's well, I think it's written to

823
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: the wall.

824
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: It's really well written. But I do. Hope I get

825
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: some more songs that have a little more weight to them. Okay,

826
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: not really where I was going, but that's good to know.

827
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: Well, so, okay, and maybe you danced and we don't

828
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: have to dance here. No, no, I don't. I don't

829
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: the writing of the song. I like the song. No, okay,

830
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 3: you don't know what I'm asking. Okay, And I'm being

831
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: unfair by being delicate.

832
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: What's the question. Did you just put the Puddle the

833
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: Led guys on the song?

834
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, which is great, which I didn't even think

835
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: when we were writing it.

836
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I didn't, of course, I know that song.

837
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: Nobody in the room goes, oh, this sounds like Puddle

838
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: and Mudd wrote the song obviously when somebody subconscious because

839
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: it has the same titles that song, and that title

840
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's and it's kind of off. That's that

841
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: one chord that's a little in that. I guess it

842
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: got brought to my attention. I went back to listen

843
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: to that song. Oh my gosh, I know the song,

844
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I think Ashley Gorley Ross these guys,

845
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: but I like love about those guys.

846
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: There's no ego.

847
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: It's like, let's just put them on the song. Who cares,

848
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's just call them up and put them

849
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: on the song.

850
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: And they're they're into it.

851
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 3: So but you know, again, call them up or did

852
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: they reach out and go like you guys jacked our song? No?

853
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: No, we call them up and we're pro. We're we're

854
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: pro pro about it. Yeah, that's good, proactive about it.

855
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: But this this album is so then you think I

856
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: get you know, I overthink stuff to you.

857
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

858
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: People think this record like has that element to it

859
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: or the album comes out in the puddle of mud

860
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: is associated with the record, which those guys are as

861
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: total studs. Maybe one day I will make a record

862
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: that's like you know, influence in that that that by

863
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: that genre of music. But this is like such a

864
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: different Everything else is so different. It's like Drunk on

865
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: a Plane on My Rise of record. The whole album

866
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: is about my my dad had passed away, my son

867
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: was born.

868
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 2: There's all these songs around that.

869
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: In this one song drunk on a Plane, which you

870
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: just can't leave off because it's just too good.

871
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't really fit in there, but hey, it hits

872
00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: a hit.

873
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: That song's kind of like this song on this album,

874
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: everything else kind of has this thing that there's this

875
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: song we wrote kind of in between songs, which I love.

876
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: It's a fun one to play live. I just hope

877
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: we get to some other songs that maybe I didn't write.

878
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: There's so many great songs that Jesus Loves Me and

879
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: Off the Map and Standing the Sun was written by

880
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: the name of Kyle Sturrock by himself. I mean, what

881
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: a stud I hope we get to one of those

882
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: other songs. I never pushed my own stuff, but that

883
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: one ever just goes this would be a great first single,

884
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: and it was. But hopefully we get something else.

885
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: Did you not want it to be?

886
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 3: By the way, it was like your biggest radio debut ever.

887
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: It came out hot. I think it's dead now.

888
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know.

889
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: I don't keep up with it with anything radio anymore.

890
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: So it came out that hot and it's dead now,

891
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: yeah a little bit.

892
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: Do you root for it today?

893
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, if it's gonna take there twenty

894
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: weeks to get somewhere, let's just move on to the

895
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: next thing, you know. I don't not over do like

896
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: big on like the number one thing I'd like just

897
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: get I'd like to do one more song at least

898
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: off this record.

899
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 3: You know who says they're not big on the number

900
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 3: one thing, somebody with twenty free number one, you know,

901
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: it's true, or twenty two or whatever the number is.

902
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 2: It's a little yeah, it's uh, that's true.

903
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: And I appreciative a number one, but I'm more I'm

904
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: just more like my whole thing. It's just the live show.

905
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like when you got into your thing.

906
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: It's like that connection with the crowd. That's all I

907
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: care about. I don't care about the money at this point.

908
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: It's like someone who says that also has a pool

909
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: in their house. Okay, that only comes somebody asks me

910
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: as their own pool. Okay, But like I just I

911
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: love that connection with the crowd, and like, you know,

912
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: I just want another song that kind of gives me that,

913
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: like that, oh my gosh, that connection with the crowd.

914
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: And so do you feel.

915
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 3: And I this has nothing to do with you specifically,

916
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: but the environment of music in general, that you're less

917
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: relevant than ever before while doing as good a work

918
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: as you've ever done. And it has nothing to do

919
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: except with the environment of music. Now or just create

920
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: well or creative content in general. And I should answer

921
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: the question to tell you I do.

922
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: I do. I'm not asking this about you, no, no, No,

923
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: it's a good question.

924
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: I love my spot where I am like in the format.

925
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's so much great music going on, and

926
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: I think what you're about, what people have respect are like,

927
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: are championing the new people. That's the way it should be,

928
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, like these new artists are coming up, like

929
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: when Lanny was coming up.

930
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Or I think you're getting the question wrong again, I'm

931
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: not asking it right.

932
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm less relevant for sure.

933
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: No, I think you interpreted that in a negative way

934
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 3: when my understand it isn't even about music in general.

935
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: It's just about what is existing in the in the

936
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 3: creative space. Now there's so much everywhere all the time.

937
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: It's like fame, Like what even is fame? Because everybody's

938
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 3: a little bit famous if.

939
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: They want to be.

940
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 3: There aren't so true so many fam people that a

941
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 3: quote unquote famous. Now there's somebody to me like do

942
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: you know who?

943
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 2: Exactly? And yet to me they're massive, right and there,

944
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: my son, they're massive. Yep. Do you take it?

945
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 3: And that's my point with everybody is a little less

946
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: relevant now because so many people have relevance now.

947
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 2: And I just wondered if you felt that at all.

948
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm kind of happy less relevant I am,

949
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: for sure, And that's like that's the natural way, and

950
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm I don't like hold on to it. I mean,

951
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: I've read this Arthur Brooks book called The Second.

952
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Mountain, which I really subscribe to.

953
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: It's like about, you know, you've had this first mountain

954
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: in your life that you've accomplished.

955
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: You know, look a you've done. It's unbelievable. And I'm

956
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: the same way.

957
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: That's one thing I really respect about you is like

958
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: just the hustle and the grind, Like that's exactly where

959
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: I got where I am. It's just it's just grinding,

960
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: hustling and climbing that mountain. Well, and then you look up,

961
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: but well there's you know, you don't want to spend

962
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: the rest of your life looking out the backs see.

963
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: The windshield at your career going oh my god, they're.

964
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Taking my spot and he's like, what's up ahead, what's

965
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: the next thing I'm trying to take on while not

966
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: leaving this behind. I love playing live music and I

967
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: still doing it the way I've always done it, But

968
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, you start looking at other things in your

969
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: life and you're you're, so, yeah, definitely relevant, relevant, relevant

970
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: with your kids. I mean, I'm at that stage of

971
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: life with my kids where it's kind of sad because

972
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: I see the you know they're headed. We're still super

973
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: close as a family. We call ourselves the Crudes based

974
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: off that movie. We're very like on top of each

975
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: other and just do a lot of dumb stuff together.

976
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: My wife and I've never left them alone for more

977
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: than like twenty four hours. We don't go on trips.

978
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: We just we're all family all the time when I'm around.

979
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like they have their things they're

980
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: doing now, and it's kind of hard. You have to

981
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: be like a you like the edge of a pool

982
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: or they they'll come by and hold on to you

983
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: when they need you, but when they push off, you're

984
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: just kind of going, oh yay, Like I just I'm

985
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: not needed as much. And that's probably true in everything

986
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: I do. But that's like not a bad thing. I mean,

987
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: it's well, it.

988
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: Wasn't meaning the relevance question I was. I wasn't meaning

989
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: that in our u R.

990
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: Okay, nobody was using my songs dying. That's not what

991
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: I meant at all. I meant because I there's so

992
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: much more. Yeah, there's so much more out there, and.

993
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: I and you see it this like there's so much

994
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: music out there, Like it's these guys drop a album.

995
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Everybody already knows every Now the younger, like a Zach

996
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: Top his audience is you know every song with the record,

997
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: because that's the only way they grew up was listening

998
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: to streams, whereas my fan base might be like, well,

999
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, unless they're not that involved with a streaming aspect,

1000
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe you know as much as like a younger person is.

1001
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: But for me, it's like, you know, I'm old school.

1002
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: You heard that song on the radio, I'm gonna go

1003
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: buy the album, I'm gonna listen to it. But really,

1004
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: the songs on radio the ones I know the best,

1005
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, and those are the ones I'm gonna sing

1006
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: it to the live show probably, And so I'm definitely

1007
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: less relevant in the overall landscape, but.

1008
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, still still like I'm not even saying

1009
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 3: you're less relevant. I just asked if you felt if

1010
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: there had any feeling on that you're not You're not

1011
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: attaching me to saying that you are less of anything.

1012
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 3: I'm just asking your general feeling about how media culture

1013
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: has changed.

1014
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: Jesus, I need a therapist. If you get two, it

1015
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: really works out for you. Media cultures.

1016
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: It's I try to well, it's just I don't know,

1017
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, you know, I've tried different things,

1018
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: like a flip phone, and you're still doing that.

1019
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: I still have one. I'm a what do you want now? Oh?

1020
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Now I'm on two iPhones, you know, so it's like

1021
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: one step forward, three steps backwards.

1022
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 2: But it's like I just it's I feel my brain rotting.

1023
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: And I'm the generation that you know, didn't have a

1024
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: cell phone for until I was like in my twenties.

1025
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: I know what it was like before, and I know what

1026
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: it's like now. And I have kids too, there, you know,

1027
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: we're all addicted to it. So there's just a lot

1028
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: of shit out there to watch. My son, you know,

1029

1030
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: like he'll he loves mountain biking too, and so, but

1031
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: instead of just knowing what his buddies do around, you know,

1032
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: what's the this guy can do a jump. He knows

00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: do it in his bike, Like buddy, it's not the

1036
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: way it works. Like he just kind of kind of

00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know where it was. And he goes mall

1082
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: let me send you some books. A big reader. I

1083
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: swear to God, he sent me a cardboard box full

1084
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: of books.

1085
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: Every book was this thick, but it was like Russian.

1086
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't written in Russian, but a book about Russian

1087
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: painter in this book about Eastern flaw.

1088
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: It was like this. I wish I had the little

1089
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: collection because it was you know, McGraw.

1090
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: You can't tell is he pulling a prank arm me

1091
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: or he could be totally serious because he's a one

1092
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: uper for sure, you know he's that's he. You know McGraw,

1093
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's gonna want to you know you

1094
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: got from the road. He'll flip that tire one more

1095
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: time than you think competitive. He's so competitive. So I

1096
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: still can't tell this day. I need to ask him

1097
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 1: and he probably probably like, of course read those books.

1098
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: But it was like this huge.

1099
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 3: Selection of really thick history books that I'm just like,

1100
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 3: this has to be a joke, but.

1101
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: I think the heart of Mike.

1102
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 3: We have to save that clip because someone's saying to me, hey,

1103
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 3: what books have you read? I've probably read them as

1104
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: the funniest, most aggressive.

1105
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 2: Uh, you already marked that down as it's the best

1106
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: I ever because I like to read.

1107
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: But well, I'm just saying we're probably reading some of

1108
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: the same books as I was trying to say.

1109
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: You ever read in the Realm of Hunger Ghosts? I

1110
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 2: have not.

1111
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,799

1119
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: Ulysses was a great read. I read that pretty quick.

1120
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,920

1130
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: I can't stand but I there was a period I

1131
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: was all about that.

1132
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 2: That's a great utility book. Peter Tia and the whole

1133
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 2: Outlive and all that stuff. I get into that stuff

1134
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: for a little bit.

1135
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: I think Born Standing Up is my favorite book. It's

1136
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: a Steve Martin book.

1137
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I know the book. I haven't read it.

1138
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: I watched his comedy special though, the documentary did on Apple.

1139
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: Do you ever see that?

00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great, I'm she did. Yeah, there's something you've seen.

1141
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: I've seen it. Yeah. Ever you ever you read much

1142
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: stoicism type stuff?

1143
00:44:59,719 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1144
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

1145
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: My favorite quote is that everything in moderation except moderation,

1146
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: including moderation by alec uh uh what's his name, Marcus Aurelius.

1147
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Meditations. It's like one of the only books

1148
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: I've read multiple times. Yeah, but I have to read

1149
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: like the version that the now version, Yeah, because if

1150
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 3: I try to read the original writing, I get lost.

1151
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know what he's saying.

1152
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes, man search for meeting, yeah, Victor, Yeah, I love stoicism.

1153
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah I do too, that's I Yeah, it's actually one

1154
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: of my passwords was was.

1155
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: Don't share it? It was?

1156
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I always make passwords of stuff I'm trying

1157
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: to manifest and I used a password out of there.

1158
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: Just saying out there just kind of remind me of

1159
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: that whole approach.

1160
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 2: But are you a manifestation guy? Oh? Yeah, do you

1161
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: believe mania happened? Okay?

1162
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: I would like to hear this first. I would like

1163
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 3: to know your theory on manifestation.

1164
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: And how it ends up happening. Uh.

1165
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: Well, I was always doing something that I later found out.

1166
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 1: Someone sent me a book by Joel ostein The Unfamiliar. Okay,

1167
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: Joel's incredible. I love his the radio station and what Joel.

1168
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: Joel ostein the Mega Yah. Yeah, he's just all about

1169
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 3: his radio station. Well, I'm serious, he's a good radio station. Yeah,

1170
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 3: you even listen to it.

1171
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1172
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: I have a problem with people who make millions and

1173
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 3: millions of dollars Christ.

1174
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 2: I get I get that. I actually there's a lot

1175
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: of them around this part of this.

1176
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and where we Maybe that's my mistile reaction was

1177
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: that no, it's actually yeah, no, but he he he has. So.

1178
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: A Jewish friend of mine actually gave me that book,

1179
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: and I remember being like, what do you give me this.

1180
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: Book for this is a long time ago. This is

1181
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 3: like this Christian dude, right, but read the book.

1182
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: One of things he said in that book, which I

1183
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: really agreed with, is like, if you want something like

1184
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: you gotta see every day, if you want to go

1185
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: to Spain, get a postcard of Spain and put it

1186
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: on your on your your refrigerator. Well this is I've

1187
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: had a crazier story before in aviation. But I'll tell

1188
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: you by my backhouse. I really want to leave Nashville

1189
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: before COVID. I just I want to go back. I

1190
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: want to be in Arizona of Colorado. It's back out

1191
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: west where I'm fron I just missed, especially Colorado.

1192
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: It's really really wanted to be.

1193
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: And I had this backpack, old sack for laps sacked

1194
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: and I hung up by the back door, and I

1195
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: put a piece of duct tape on it. It said West,

1196
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: and I had like a flannel shirt and there and

1197
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: just shipping. I look at it every day, West West West,

1198
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: and then we were This is kind of weird manifestation

1199
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: because I want to say it's involved with like manifesting COVID.

1200
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like. It literally sounds like cod.

1201
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't pretty good at but anyway, so we were

1202
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: in Colorado when everything shut down. We ended up living

1203
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: there for a year, which it had been my dream.

1204
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, how am I going to

1205
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: make How am I gonna move my whole family to Colorado?

1206
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: And we ended up staying there. The kids went to

1207
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: school there. But that's a different that's kind of a

1208
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: weird one. But I will tell you one other story

1209
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 1: about flying manifesting something that's really weird opening for Kenny Chesney.

1210
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: It's me, Kenny and Keith Urban way back in the day,

1211
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: and Kenny offers to fly me back home, and I'm like, yeah,

1212
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: I love to fly home with you in a private plane.

1213
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: Wow, it's amazing. So we went home.

1214
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: We flew home with him, the three of us in

1215
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: this little private plane. We landed back in Nashville and

1216
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: we pulled into was a different airport, not the big airport,

1217
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: but a smaller, little building, right. I remember looking up

1218
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: and the building said Signature which is a fixed base

1219
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: operator for private jets. For anyone out there listening about

1220
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: this random stuff. But I was like, this is so cool.

1221
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: We don't go through the real airport. We're going through

1222
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: the side thing, and I was like, wow, I want

1223
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: that to be like I want this, I want to

1224
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: do I want to travel this way. You know, this

1225
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: is like two thousand and four. So I made that

1226
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: my password on all my computers and devices. I signature

1227
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: with some other stuff behind it. Long story short, like

1228
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. My career

1229
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: is totally like going off a cliff. I went out

1230
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: there try to headline. I spent two years just getting

1231
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: my butt kicked, you know, playing these arenas we'd alread booked.

1232
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: I'm playing for like twenty five hundred people. You know,

1233
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm giving all I have every night, and every reporter

1234
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: is like, you know, God bless us is hard. He's

1235
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: singing like as a sold out show only to two

1236
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: thousand people showed up. And that went on for a while,

1237
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, but I'm still typing

1238
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: that thing in there every day. And I'm playing a

1239
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: gig one day for the halfway to Hazard. Guys are

1240
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: doing a benefit up in Hazard, Kentucky for a Toado

1241
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: tornado thing relief thing, and this little plane flies overhead

1242
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: and they're like that's Tim McGraw, and I go there's

1243
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: no way that's Timergraw. He's not flying in a propeller plane.

1244
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: The guy's flying jets and like, no, he's learning to

1245
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: get his pile's license. Apparently he came to the gig.

1246
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: We started talking about the plane. It's this new plane

1247
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: called a Serrus as a parachute built into the airframe,

1248
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: but there's an accident. You pull the handle and the

1249
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: whole plane comes down under a canopy. He's like, it's

1250
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: the only plane that my wife Faith will let me

1251
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: fly in introduced me as instructor. I started flying the

1252
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: next day to gigs because you could fly. You know,

1253
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: if you're going to play gig in Indiana, even though

1254
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: it's only two hour drive, you're still going to live

1255
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: at midnight in the bus to get there. You lose

1256
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: a whole day of your kids, a whole night at home.

1257
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: Now I'm flying a straight line. This little propeller plane

1258
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: got totally hooked into it, and you know, I remember thinking, well,

1259
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: it's never going to come true that the dream I had,

1260
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: but this is pretty cool.

1261
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 2: I'm getting more time at home. Long story short.

1262
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: One day, I've thown into Chicago midway in this little

1263
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: plane and I was you know, using the bathroom, and

1264
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: I looked next to me, there's a real pilot and

1265
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh.

1266
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: I guess a little pilot. Look at me.

1267
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm a real pilot too, And I look up and

1268
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: then there's a sign of the urinal TMI that says signature,

1269
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: and it hit me like wow, Like it did happen

1270
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: in a totally different way than I wanted it to,

1271
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: which is why the universe works.

1272
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: I put it out there.

1273
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to sit in the back of a jet

1274
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: that never worked out, but it came back to me

1275
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: the way where actually had to get my pilot's license,

1276
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: my instrument rating, and I'm actually sitting up left seat,

1277
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, in the front of the plane.

1278
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: It might be a propeller plane.

1279
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 1: But I'm still like I'm doing it in a totally

1280
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: better way than would have happened if I'd forced it

1281
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: the other way. So that's one story. Pete Fisher was

1282
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: my password forever on my computer, and I did become

1283
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: a member of the Grand Opry, Like the Opry was

1284
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: such a big part of my life, Like just I

1285
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: could play the Opry stage, everything would happen. So I

1286
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: was typing Pete Fisher who ran the opry back then.

1287
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 2: I just I don't know.

1288
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: It might sound trivial, it's talking about it, but in

1289
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: these how these things have happened. But I'm like, I

1290
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: really leave like the power of putting it out there

1291
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: and it will come.

1292
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: Back to you.

1293
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: Do you journal things I did that five minute. I

1294
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: have a lot of those five minute gratitude journals within

1295
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: a lot of those over the years.

1296
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: I used to think that's pretty hokey. I think I

1297
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 3: just didn't understand why people were doing it. I find

1298
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 3: myself doing it now as a way to cleanse myself

1299
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 3: of all the negativity more so than just Hukuna matata.

1300
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: I think that's what I was. Well.

1301
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 3: I was just like, I don't want I'm gonna be

1302
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: the person that's like, oh, everything's great. So I was

1303
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 3: very anti that. But then I'm in a world of

1304
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 3: everything is so negative around me all the time. If

1305
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 3: I choose to let it get in comments, my life

1306
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 3: is critique through ratings through So it was what can

1307
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: I do to counter this a bit? So it wasn't

1308
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 3: you know Timone and Pimba whatever their names are, what

1309
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: are the names.

1310
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: Mike, Timon and Pumba? Thank you MBA.

1311
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: I was, hey, I need to I need to meet this,

1312
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 3: and so I started to go, I'm spending so much

1313
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 3: time thinking only bad things is turning me into a

1314
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 3: negative person. I need to remind myself of things that

1315
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: are the opposite, and that has that has put me

1316
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 3: back at a pretty neutral place, which I can appreciate.

1317
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 2: And that's why I do it. I mean, I don't

1318
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: do it right now anymore.

1319
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 1: I did more back when I was kind of more

1320
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: into like some of the stuff I was trying out.

1321
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: I've always tried different things in the past, you know.

1322
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: I quit drinking for two years, and then I added

1323
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: a thirty year of no beer, and then I.

1324
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: Then I started a whiskey, you know.

1325
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, like I did vegan for a year and

1326
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: a half, and then I just thought I was only

1327
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna eat animals that I killed, and I went and

1328
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: killed an milk and lived out that.

1329
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: You know.

1330
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: I just I'm always trying different things. I tried the

1331
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: journal thing. I have actually a few stack of them,

1332
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: and I always thought i'd go back and read them.

1333
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 2: You never do.

1334
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: You write it and forget it, but it did help you,

1335
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: Like what are you great? The five minute journal for

1336
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: anyone is interested. It's very simple as one page, and

1337
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: it has like what do I want to do today?

1338
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: What am I grateful for? And then the end of

1339
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 1: the day you write down like three things that happened

1340
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: today and closing thoughts, and it's just a place to

1341
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of like set some intentions for the following day

1342
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: or have an attitude of gratitude for the days around you.

1343
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 2: And it's it definitely is helpful for me.

1344
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 3: All that felt so lame to me, though, Yeah, it

1345
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 3: is kind of on the start. I know I have

1346
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 3: found purpose for it now, but I think the way

1347
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 3: it was positioned to me, who's so cynical, I'm so

1348
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: cynical about everything. Yeah, that I was like, this is

1349
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: not for me. I had to find the reason that

1350
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 3: it exists for me, which is I got to meet

1351
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 3: all the negativity with something or I'm gonna if that's

1352
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 3: going to consume me, Yeah, just be the.

1353
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: Nature of what I do every day. I can't imagine. No,

1354
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: you're so out there.

1355
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: It's you don't have the luxury of kind of like

1356
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: tuning away from all that stuff, so I don't.

1357
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: I can't take my glasses off and nobody recognizes me.

1358
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: They do or don't. I don't. Yeah, I don't.

1359
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 3: I tell my glasses off, nobody knows, nobody will come

1360
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 3: up to me or know who I am.

1361
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: Well, it's amazing. Yeah, that's they have that I go.

1362
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: I can go anywhere without being You can't. Oh, absolutely,

1363
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: you have your but you I travel nobody.

1364
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't travel with anybody. I travel by myself.

1365
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: I can if I want to, if I need an

1366
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,720
Speaker 1: ego stoke, I can go into home Depot or Walmart

1367
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: and see my folks. But like, I'm not gonna like

1368
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe bed back beyond if there's time.

1369
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know if there's time, but there's

1370
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 2: always time for back. Yeah.

1371
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I travel mostly through anywhere, just

1372
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: completely under rad arts because I haven'ten a lot of TV,

1373
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,399
Speaker 1: and I just I mean, I'm going a pretty good spot.

1374
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: I think you're playing a little humble I know you,

1375
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: but no, I mean, and I can sense it sometimes. Yeah,

1376
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: there's a way to move through certain situations where you

1377
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: just keep moving. But I can I can tell when

1378
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: someone's like I can telling some behind me, you know,

1379
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: looking or assuming where it's going on. But just because

1380
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: you've gotten so good at reading a room doing what

1381
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: we do, but I don't. I don't really that's a

1382
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty sweet spot to them. And I always ask people

1383
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: like opportunities are coming my way. I'm like, is this

1384
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: going to like some more tickets? There's this is the

1385
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: thing that I have to do because everyone's doing it

1386
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: because I like even podcasts, I do so few of

1387
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: them because I feel like, now and someone does a podcast,

1388
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: there they'll I love long form interview like this. And

1389
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: last time I did this was Dak Shephard for Armchair Quarterback.

1390
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: The problem with that one was it was a live show.

1391
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: It was horrible because I love him, but it's like,

1392
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: now I'm trying to entertain.

1393
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm playing the crowd, so I can't.

1394
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: So I'm like, it's entertaining instead of But a lot

1395
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: of the new people doing this, and I've had a

1396
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 1: lot of friends that are starting and I'm and I'm

1397
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: so supportive of them doing it, but I find that

1398
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: they're going to take this, cut it up in like

1399
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: five second snippets and just hit it on Instagram over

1400
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 1: and over and over. It's like click click, click click,

1401
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: trying to get those Instagram numbers up. And that's not really,

1402
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: the whole point of the podcast is supposed to be

1403
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: like a long term.

1404
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: Long form interview.

1405
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: We just say stuff you normally wouldn't say, and people

1406
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: have to listen to the whole thing to hear it,

1407
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: unless they go on your radio show.

1408
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: I guess this is all gonna be cut up in

1409
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: the best.

1410
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 3: Partner Snip snip, I'll snip for you, I'll do at you. No,

1411
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 3: we're definitely snipping that. Hey, if it's a book you're read.

1412
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,240
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a quick pause for a message

1413
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 4: from our sponsor.

1414
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 2: And we're back on the Bobby Cast. I have a

1415
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: couple other questions.

1416
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: I was reading a bit about the Broken Branches Fund,

1417
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 3: and I bring it up now. We've talked a little

1418
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 3: bit about mental health here, just us not even going

1419
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: right at it, but I think that's a big part

1420
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 3: of both of our lives, either we're trying to handle

1421
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 3: our own or talk about our past experiences with it.

1422
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: What is that? What's Broken Branches Fund? Yeah?

1423
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: Oh, just we're taking some money from the tour and

1424
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: we're it's a multi year deal where our friend uh

1425
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: Tatum over at the Music Music Health Alliance here in

1426
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: Nashville that we help we're been without from the very beginning.

1427
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: It's going to help people in the community that are

1428
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: having struggling with mental health, certainly touring professionals, but also

1429
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: just people back here in town. And it's a cool thing.

1430
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't kind of fit into the idea that that

1431
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: song broken branches. You know, the hook is broken branches

1432
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: off the family tree. Everyone in Nashville is a little

1433
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: bit of a broken branch. We all came in from

1434
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: somewhere else and we're you know, we don't we kind

1435
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: of create, make our own family, make our own tree here.

1436
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: So it tied in well, of course Mary Mary Hilliard

1437
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: was behind it. She's got a brain like that, think

1438
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: of it. But it's something I was excited to launch

1439
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: with her, and it's good, you know, I I am

1440
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: able to. I'm just of a different generation. I see

1441
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: what my kids are going through. I see people in

1442
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: the road are going through. I see what artists are

1443
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: going through. They speak out about it all the time,

1444
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, the content creating, having to look at the comments,

1445
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: having to play that game. I can't imagine the little

1446
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: toll that would take. It's exhausting, you know. It's like

1447
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: in growing up in that environment I know a lot

1448
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: of them love it. I try to think of like

1449
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: Alan Jackson if he were starting off today, him doing

1450
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: all this like tic tacking as I call it, just

1451
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: to bother my kids and stuff, they'd be like, he

1452
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: probably loses mind too, Like what are you talking about?

1453
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: I just want to see country music and like look

1454
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: cool on stage. But so I definitely get it where

1455
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: they're coming from it. And it's hard. I mean it's

1456
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: just hard. It's hard in every field. This is our field,

1457
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: this is music, so we're trying to take care of ourselves.

1458
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: But every I mean, what people can do for work,

1459
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's all you look, it's happening in music now.

1460
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: That's sony or soony app where you can just talk

1461
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: your words into your phone and it creates a it

1462
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: make this kind of sound like an old school Morgan

1463
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: Wallen track, and boom, it's like it's there. There goes

1464
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: the studio, the producers, the assistant, the intern the band.

1465
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean just just wiped out a whole segment of

1466
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: like you know, the song demo industry has just gone

1467
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's happening and everywhere, so the

1468
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: pressure and I feel out my record some part of

1469
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: the point, like whant to get other singles out is

1470
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: like people are so exciting and cut one of their songs,

1471
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like I get some of the best

1472
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: songs just because maybe I've been doing this for a

1473
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: long time. So you want those guys that get those

1474
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: songs get a chance to see the light of day

1475
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: to support them as well, because it's just it's harder

1476
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: than it's ever been to be a songwriter in this town,

1477
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: for sure.

1478
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 3: Two questions left, Oh, what's your favorite? Well, I've done

1479
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: an hour, bet Landey got more.

00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: It's a great I could look. What's your favorite?

1481
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 3: We'll call it old like hit to play where you

1482
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 3: have a renewed love for it.

1483
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

1484
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: This year on the road, we were doing a song

1485
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: called so So Long and another one called Domestic Light

1486
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: and Cold. I was listening to his Zac's Zach gave

1487
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: me his second album to kind of listen to because

1488
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: I had asked some questions about it, and I went

1489
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: to listen to it. I was like, I need to

1490
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: go back to listen to my second record, Modern Day Drifter,

1491
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: just to see like what that record was like when

1492
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 1: I was in the same kind of throwes of where

1493
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: you know where you are and you're on that second

1494
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: album stuff, and I was like, oh my gosh, new song.

1495
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: I just there.

1496
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: They were so good and so domestic, Latin colds, a

1497
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: shuffle about beer and uh so so long. It was

1498
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: just a kind of a kiss off song. So we

1499
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: threw those back in the sellis a little bit.

1500
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: You know, I still old school songs that were like

1501
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 2: on the radio.

1502
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, like big hits where you might have gotten tired

1503
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 3: of my songs.

1504
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean I never get tired of five one five oh?

1505
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: Or was I thinking I still have always? I think

1506
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: it's still a huge song. I mean, I hold on.

1507
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: It's just like a I've always had a you know,

1508
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: I always come a little closer. That's an old hit.

1509
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 3: That song you're not giving me an I'm trying to

1510
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 3: go old school. No, I know, I hear you, but

1511
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:39,919
Speaker 3: and all those are perfect songs. But you're just saying

1512
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 3: every song come a little closer. We played that this year.

1513
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: I hadn't played that.

1514
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: Now you're giving me.

1515
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: Now you're giving me no, Well, you've been getting me

1516
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: tones this whole damn time.

1517
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 2: None of my answers are acceptable. That's not true. That

1518
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 2: I said, what's a song? And then you gave me five.

1519
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, being created here. I walk out the

1520
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 2: door in my mid I need the broken branches fun

1521
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: for me at this point.

1522
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, come a little closer. I haven't played in a while.

1523
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,479
Speaker 1: We did this year for the first time about ten years.

1524
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: It felt great.

1525
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Thank you. I enjoyed this. Thanks, thank you.

1526
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 2: That's cool. It was a fun hour for funny. Yeah,

1527
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 2: it was. I'm glad it was for one of us.

1528
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm many and it was my hands

1529
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: sore from the ruler, like the look kept smashing my

1530
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: wrong answer, you were smashing.

1531
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: I was just accepting it. That's all.

1532
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: I get to go back and hear the sound bites

1533
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: and all the stuff. I regret saying, so.

1534
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 3: We should only do sound bites on this. We don't

Speaker 1: really fun. It's fun going out there. You know, the

1548
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: band before you was just like young and they're just

1549
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: they're in that thing. You get to see him do

1550
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing and you know they're geting ready to

1551
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,960

1555

1556
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: this in the daytime. Oh really, your napper?

1557
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Nope, I don't have time to take naps.

1558
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 3: But if I ever have time to take yumps, I

1559
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: can sleep hard in the day because I don't feel

1560
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 3: like someone's gonna come up.

1561
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: And I'm not joking. Well, that's why you guys sleep

1562
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: in separate rooms. Okay, there is family everybody. Thanks for
