Speaker 1: We are going to cover so much on this episode

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: from when he first started playing music, why he almost

64
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: gave up on music for good, and and how a

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: devastating event in his hometown kind of reignited his passion

66
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: for music. It is such a crazy story, but it's

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: so inspiring. Uh. Nate is also super funny, so we

68
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: went off on several tangents, but I think it'll make

69
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: you laugh. I did some rapid fire questions and I

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: even asked him about fighting a kangaroo and he was

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: so confused, but it was so funny. But he's been

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: on tour with Brett Eldredge and he even teases, you know,

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: something big coming up for next year, so that's so exciting.

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: He has a new album coming out soon, so there's

75
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: just so much going on for him. He's just so

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: awesome and so genuine and down to earth, and I

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200

00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: it your story is insane, so much stuff I didn't

101
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: so inspiring for everybody listening. But also I want to

105
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: tell you later how I actually was introduced her music.

106
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, but I'll tell you. I'll tell

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: you later, super curious. Yeah, it's it's a funny, interesting one.

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: But so like, have you always been singing your whole

109
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: life or yeah? I mean, um, I started like I

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: just always kind of did. Yeah, a little bit. I

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: think like my first memories of like trying to sing,

112
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I was trying to copy Garth Brooks um and and Elvis.

113
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: I was trying to impersonate them as a kid and

114
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: and drove my family nuts and stuff. So those are

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: my first memories of like singing. And then like, um,

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: my first time I performing. I was probably around ten

117
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: or something like that, and they had there was a

118
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: school contest for or not a contest sorry, um, like

119
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: a play or not a play, but like I keep

120
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: getting function where we would sing and and it was

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: a Christmas song and they had me do jingle bell

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: rock and I did it in a very elbously way.

123
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: They're like, awesome, that's gonna be so great for the

124
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: parents when they get there and stuff, and let's choose you.

125
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: So I I sang it like that way during the

126
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: auditions and all this, and then when we got time

127
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: for the actual show, a chicken dot went to my

128
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: little boy voice. I was like, Jingle, what happened to Elvis?

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: What happened? I'm like, I couldn't. I got too shy

130
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: and I chickened out. And there's a video of it somewhere. Um, okay,

131
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: we got to see this. Wait, so did you ever

132
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: get to redo it? So you just that's out there

133
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: and you've got to be your authentic self. If you

134
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: sound like a little squeaky mouse, then be a squeaky mouse.

135
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: That's true. So were you Elvis for Halloween? No? I

136
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: was just like your inspiration probably the older Elvis on you?

137
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: Is that your that your costume this year? Then? Maybe

138
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: after a few Hamburgers Elvis? Yeah, we know that one.

139
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So like, did you want to move

140
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: to Nashville? Like was this a serious thing or you

141
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: just kind of grew up singing? And yeah, I just

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: I did a bunch of different stuff. So I was

143
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: in and out of bands growing up. Did that? Um?

144
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: I didn't graduate high school? Um on time I left

145
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: and moved to Oregon and joined a like a Christian

146
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: rock band. It's like it's gonna make I lived. I

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: lived out of a warehouse there for a little while,

148
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: and like we had to like we couldn't tell my

149
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: friend's grandma that I was staying there, so like we

150
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: had to like shut the lights off at a certain time,

151
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: no noise. And it was freezing cold. So my buddy

152
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: bought me a sleeping bag, and I was like sleeping

153
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: on this couch and like microwaving pizza that you're supposed

154
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: to put in an oven, and like watching cartoons and

155
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: like that was my life for a little while. You're

156
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: hiding out and she didn't know it was like a

157
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: teenager living in there. That's impressive that you were able

158
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: to do that. And she never found out. And then

159
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the and then the band just didn't really didn't really work.

160
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: So I went back home and then I recorded by

161
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: first EP as a kid um. I think at this

162
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: point I was like nineteen or twenty UM. And then

163
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: I moved to l A, Orange County to try and

164
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: pursue it and stuff, and started playing a few shows

165
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: down there and everything, and and then I got a

166
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: call from word Records out of Nashville to come and

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: meet with them and stuff. So they flew me to Nashville.

168
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm like whoa, Like they're paying for my flights

169
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: and like I get to like stand at hotel paid

170
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: for and I've got like what's the per d M.

171
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: That's so cool, Like you know, they're giving me food

172
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: and stuff. So I got to record with them, and

173
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: then they offered me a record deal. But you're from California,

174
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: born and raised, born and actually Spokene, Washington on a

175
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: force base. My dad was in the Air Force for

176
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: a few years. We lived in Germany, southern California, UM,

177
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: but grew up mostly UM in Paradise, California. So so

178
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: your record deal, how did that go? The first one? Right, Yes,

179
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: so we were We did short form and then we

180
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: were in long form. I wrote a bunch of songs

181
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: UM and then my A and R. For listeners who

182
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, it's just the person that

183
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: signs at the label and also helps with everything around

184
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: your record and stuff. Um. They ended up leaving so

185
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: the label just didn't have the same passion that they

186
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: did for me, and it left me in limbo. I

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: had moved here and everything, and uh, and then I

188
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: got a publishing deal, um about a few months after

189
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: that from the guy that left Word Records. So he

190
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: hooked me up with the publishing deal. So I started

191
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: writing songs for other people and didn't really know what

192
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: I was doing and it was a really scary thing

193
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: to do. So that is scary. Yeah, So did you

194
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: kind of like the songwriting thing or you still wanted

195
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: to kind of be an artist? Um, you know, I

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: like both. I think I think the best songs I

197
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: write are went there for me. Like I'm not as

198
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: good of making songs for other people and knowing that

199
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: kind of thing, but I know what I want to say,

200
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, and stuff like that. So but it gave

201
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: me a really good foundation like kind of write songs

202
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: and like and all that. And I was in rooms

203
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: with people that are way out of my league still

204
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: are and it was like just great education. Yeah. So

205
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: after all of that, so I read you went back

206
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: home right and almost gave up on singing, Oh for sure. Yeah.

207
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: So so what made you just want to give up? Yeah?

208
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Just to be honest, I I was crazy in love

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: um with this Southern bell and we got married. My

210
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: first time moving here. She was my next door neighbor, UM,

211
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: and we just had just a lot of passion for

212
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: each other. We we eloped, we did and I'm a

213
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: really open book, by the way, Like I don't there's

214
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: nothing to which, okay, good, I was wondering. I was like,

215
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: if you don't feel comfortable talking about something, I mean,

216
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: I've told this to a lot of people, you know

217
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: and stuff, and UM, I honestly wish it really well.

218
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: We haven't talked in a long time, but we ended

219
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: up divorcing it. It didn't work as really painful for

220
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: both of us, UM, but that's what ultimately led me

221
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: back to California. So like, I just was like at

222
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel, just upset, you know. UM,

223
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: And my publishing company was like, we're not going to

224
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: keep you signed if you're not going to stay in Nashville.

225
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I gotta go home and be with

226
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: my family. So I went home, and luckily I've been

227
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: a nurse assistant since I was eighteen, so I had

228
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: a job everywhere I went in a hospital or an

229
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: elderly home or anything like that. So I went back

230
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: and started working right away, UM at a hospital and

231
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: start taking care of patients. And didn't you have other

232
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: odd jobs to your Uber drivers that right Uber It

233
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: was a courier for a dental lab. Um just worked

234
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: at hotels and just whenever I could get, you know, right.

235
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: But I'm assuming since you go back there, you're like, Okay,

236
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: something is still missing, you know, like I know this

237
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: is in my heart, this is what I want to

238
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: do now what you know? I was always it was

239
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: always uh, there's always a lot of like um confliction

240
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: with it because like I would ask my friends and

241
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: they'd be like, you know, deep done and you want

242
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: to do music. I'm like, yeah, but nursing is really

243
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: great and I love taking care of people. So I

244
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: was really split between these two worlds. And I feel like,

245
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: for the first time in my life now those two

246
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: worlds have collided in a good way. Like I feel

247
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: like I am helping people and I'm making music. So

248
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of like this cool thing where I'm like,

249
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: I feel like nursinging Nate or something like, I don't know,

250
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: I know it's so true, like the therapeutic part of music,

251
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's like healing and you get

252
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: to do vote that's awesome. Yeah, so you did come

253
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: back after or what was the turning point that made

254
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: you move back to Nashville for the second time. Yes,

255
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: for the second time. So, so I was working as

256
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: a nurse assistant. I was working in i c U

257
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: and trauma, taking care of patients really crazy stuff, you know,

258
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: like doing compressions CPR on people in front of their family,

259
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: like crazy stuff like just oh my god, um, and

260
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it just it was just one of those things.

261
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: I was helping out my brother at his church. He

262
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: was a youth pastor. I was helping out the youth

263
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: band and like getting them together and like, hey, you

264
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: play this, you play this, and then this is your part,

265
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: and like kind of kind of raised them up a

266
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: little bit. It was really cool. And then, um, I'm

267
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: sure it's every blog that I've talked on and stuff,

268
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: but my my town caught on fire, um kind of

269
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, which I did not know this honestly,

270
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: this part about you know, oh okay, yeah, and so

271
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: this is a huge thing that a lot of people

272
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: may not even know. Also oh man, okay, yeah. So Paradise, California.

273
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: So it's called the campfire. It a couple of years ago,

274
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: just randomly caught. It was November eleven, um and uh

275
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: yeah or November eight. Yeah, it get kind of mixed up,

276
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: but um, but it happened. And then like we lost

277
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: everything I've ever owned in my entire Lafe. But brother

278
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: lost his house, they just had a baby. Um, I

279
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: lost my apartment with all my stuff, like really really

280
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: really traumatic. And then about ninety people pasted way in

281
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: that fire because it was like they're all trying to

282
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: leave at the same time and it just wasn't working.

283
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: So um yeah, it was a really scary day, you

284
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: know because I like my brother called me, was like

285
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time getting out of here, and

286
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: and it was really really hard. It's really hard. And

287
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: then once once he came, my dad had a house

288
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: in the town right next door to us called Chico. Um,

289
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: so we all met up at my dad's and then

290
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: my brother is like, hey, I'm good, And when he

291
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: came into the door, we're just like weeping, Like I

292
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: hugged him. I'm like I'm so thankful You're okay. Like

293
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: it was it was nuts. And then you'd go to

294
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: like there was just chaos in that whole city. Like

295
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: people were sleeping intense and and the Walmart parking lots

296
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: all the stuff. So I was lucky enough to have

297
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: a place of a house to go do because everything

298
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: rented up to within the first day or two, so

299
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: you couldn't even get a rental anywhere. Like, it was

300
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: pretty nuts. I can't even I can't imagine that. It's terrible. Yeah,

301
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: there's a documentary on Netflix to really yeah about it

302
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: on there, so I think Ron Howard produced it. I'll

303
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: have to check that out because I mean that's crazy,

304
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: and that's a huge moment. Also like for your career too,

305
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: as far as inspiring you, you know, to want to

306
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: do more with music, right, Yeah, I mean that's kind

307
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: of what started in a sense because, um, I'm gonna

308
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: tell this part really quick. Um, But when I first

309
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville, my supervisor at Starbucks because I got

310
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: a regular shop when I was out here the first time.

311
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: His name was Tom bow Pray and Tom was looking

312
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: for gigs and stuff. So Tom actually was my I

313
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: was his first gig as a bass player. Um. And

314
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: after I left Nashville, he wanted to be part of

315
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: Florida Georgian Line for the last like whatever ten years

316
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: that they ran their main bass player. So we reconnected

317
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: kind of right before the fire and stuff, and we're

318
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: talking and stuff. And so when the fire happened, I

319
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: moved in with my dad. He ended up calling up

320
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: a company that that gave his band guitars. UM so

321
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: they sent me an acoustic guitar. Uh, I lost my

322
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: other one nice scripts and stuff. I'm in the fire

323
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, so I have this guitar sent on my

324
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: front doorstep. And I ended up writing a song about

325
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: paradise called one of These Days with one of my

326
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: friends and just put up on Facebook just to like

327
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: help out the community and stuff like that. And it

328
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: ended up like locally like touching a lot of people

329
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: and it was just really really rad to see that happen.

330
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: And uh I uh started doing benefit concerts and stuff.

331
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: And then we got this idea where like what if

332
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: we what if we recorded and then give all the

333
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: money away to somebody who's in need or a charity

334
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: in the area or Red Cross, whatever we can do.

335
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: So we did. So we flew to Nashville recorded this song. Um.

336
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: I met up with Tombo Pray to thank him like

337
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: forgiving me the guitar, and he said, hey, you should

338
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: have my friend Joel Brier mix your mix the song

339
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: for you. I'm like, who's Joel. He's just a good

340
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: friend of mine. Now Joel, long story short, has become

341
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: one of my best friends. And he's he have a

342
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: few songs, the first songs I put out Sleeve under

343
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: my Skin, Wildfire, UM, I Don't want to Go to Heaven.

344
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: We're all produced by Joel. So, like, it's just how

345
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: that from literally met up with Tom at lunch. He

346
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: called Joel. That's how he met that whole thing. So

347
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: then I come back to California. UM raised some money

348
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: on the song, and everything I had I ended up

349
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: giving it to this really cool single mom who like

350
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: was moving out of parrots, who lost everything. Um, and

351
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: I looked at her and I was like, the reason

352
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: I got the guitar, the reason that I wrote the song,

353
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: the reason that I met this person, That person was

354
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: all because of you, Like like this was meant to

355
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: be your moment. Like it was like the coolest thing

356
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: to see that happen, and like, so that's how loved

357
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: you are, Like you know, it was just really cool

358
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: to see that. So that's what started and then I

359
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: started writing songs again. I started working with UM with

360
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Joel and flying in and out of Nashville. And then

361
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: eventually my friends were like, you should go back, and

362
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: they raised to go fund me to get me to

363
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: go to Nashville. But my least didn't start and tell July.

364
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: This was like in April or something or May somewhere

365
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: around there. And so I had to live out of

366
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: my car for about a month and a half and

367
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: UM stayed in rest stops, UM camped, UH, met random

368
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: people on the road, stayed in their their living rooms

369
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: like whatever I could do until I got to Nashville.

370
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: So that has a lot of information, but just no,

371
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: but that is so crazy how you take I mean,

372
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: you're in like the lowest of lows in your life,

373
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, but you you turn that into like strength

374
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: and or no, I'm gonna I can do something better.

375
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I can do something some much more with it. And

376
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I like fully processed that either,

377
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: Like I think I just I just started doing that.

378
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just kind of like comes to you, right,

379
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: It's like you have your heart's telling you to do this.

380
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, all right, let's just go. And I

381
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't have a plan, Like there

382
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: was no plan B. It was like I'm coming to

383
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: Nashville and I'm gonna do this. I came here, and

384
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, I got lucky and got a management deal

385
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: right away with Chief's a Root and Simon Tigman at

386
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: at Core pretty much right away. Um. And then I

387
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: was pretty much out of money. I was down to nothing,

388
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: and my dad sent me five hundred bucks, just hooked

389
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: it up. And then that got whittled down to fourteen dollars.

390
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: And then I signed my publishing deal that day when

391
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: I was at fourteen bucks, and got another vance that

392
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: allowed me to pay two card payments behind my rent

393
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: um and then ended up moving out of that place

394
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: and getting my own, uh like two bedroom spot and

395
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: it was like crazy, and I started writing songs for

396
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: about a year straight, um and and I end up

397
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: getting a record deal with Sony uh and then um

398
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: a booking deal and all this cool stuff. So it's

399
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: been like great, Like what that's impossible. It's just like man,

400
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: buckle up a roller coaster. It's amazing though, So I guess,

401
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: so what was the biggest song then? Was it? Whiskey

402
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: on You. It was way before that. So, um, one

403
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: of these days is the one I wrote about Paradise.

404
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: But that's not up on Spotify or anything like that.

405
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: But the first song that like caught attention with like

406
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: labels and my management and stuff was called Wildfire uh.

407
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: And that was the first one I put out with

408
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Joel uh. And that's kind of what started it. Yeah, So,

00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: used it for different reasons, like some people you know,

460
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: have been terminally ill and they've used it for that

461
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: and stuff, which has been a really special thing to

462
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: see it happened. It's been like a song that they

463
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: gravitated towards and We're like, you know, it kind of

464
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: gave him encouragement and stuff, and then some people would

465
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: love and stuff. So, so did you write it? Did

466
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: you write it with Jan Fernandez? Okay, how long do

467
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: you think it took you to write it? A couple

468
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: of hours? See that is so wild to me. You

469
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: know that you can just sit there, didn't overthink anything.

470
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: We just like whatever it felt right on our heart

471
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: and what came out. We're like, that's the lyric. It's

472
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: not right. Let's not get songwriter e here. And so

473
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: did you kind of have an idea in your head?

474
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: Are you just winning? You're like, why do you want

475
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to write about today? He sat down, he sat at

476
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: the guitar, and I was kind of mumbling some things.

477
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I go to the piano, to the piano,

478
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: so he didn't. He played that little riff that didn't

479
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: and I started hum humming, and then I started seeing.

480
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: I was like heaven, and He's like, I don't want

481
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: to go to heaven like this, And it just kind

482
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: of happened like that, and then we just started figuring

483
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: out the melodies and then we started putting lyrics in it,

484
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: talking about our own lives and what we've experienced, and

485
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: then you got to Neil talents on it, right, So

486
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: how did that come about? So I just solicited her,

487
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, just email. I asked Randy Goodman at Sony.

488

543
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,439

00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: a breat It just doesn't. It's but I'm like, I

545
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: feel like every girl has that question. They want to

546
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: know how he is still single? But I think he

547
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: wants to be I think that would be I think

548
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: he'd want to want to be Like when he when

549
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: he's ready, he'll just he'll just go for it, right,

550
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: He's not just like after it, Like, yeah, he's not,

551
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: Like where is he? It's hard to date Nashville, I

552
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: gotta say it is. And the other thing to about

553
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: Nashville is like, is if he because we're all in

554
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: the industry, so you're scared that if it doesn't work out,

555
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird. And like, oh, yeah, you know

556
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, because I don't. You don't want that either,

557
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: So it's like and Nashville, I mean it's so small,

558
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: you know, and like I could date one guy and

559
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: then be his boss like next year. Like that's true.

560
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: But the thing too, is is like I don't know why.

561
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: We're honest, it's hilarious, um, but I don't know. Like

562
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: the cool thing about dating somebody with a Nashville with

563
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: an industry as you would understand each other, you know,

564
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: really well, and like I feel like if you're not

565
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: in the industry, you don't really understand there's much about it,

566
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, So that's true. Yeah, I don't know that's

567
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: just that's the bonus to it. But I just don't

568
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: like dating in general. But it's fine. Just make friends.

569
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Just make friends and if they organically develop into something

570
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: more and that's cool, you know. Yeah, So that's that's

571
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: how I love about you. You're so interactive, like with

572
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: your fans, and you just seem like such a normal guy.

573
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: You're always do adding people on TikTok, you know, and

574
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: you even do edded my whiskey on you did. Sorry,

575
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: it just makes me laugh because that was like I

576
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: took a shot where I really take a shot in

577
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: the video because I had to redo it like ten times,

578
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: and if I would have taken ten whiskey shots, it

579
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been good. But you do addit it And

580
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: could we could do another one today if you want.

581
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: I know, I almost brought whiskey, but I can't do whiskey. Well.

582
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: The one I've been teasing the last week and a

583
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: half is called wreckage um, and it seems like people

584
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: are really connecting to that one, so maybe we do that. Yeah, okay,

585
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: heart felt it's like in your fields, like I'm all

586
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: about those, but you also have I found you. Yes,

587
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: I love that one too. It's like a goose Bumps one.

00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: You know, I love that song? So did you write

589
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,520

590
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: it Chris and Kyle? Yeah? At a writer's retreat A retreat, okay,

591
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: I think it's what it's called. So you just go

592
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: out there for like a weekend and we're out there

593
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: for like two days. It was really creepy. It was creepy.

594
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: And then like we went to the gas station like eleven,

595
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: Me and Kyle, and like people were just like literally

596
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: like not quite like hands in front of them, walking zombie,

597
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: but just kind of like it was just really weird,

598
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: like like people are just like staring and they would

599
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: just like slow turn their head and just okay, those

600
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: are always that's crazy, Like there's good goose bumps And

601
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: then there's like, so how did we decide on this

602
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: as the retreat location to take that up with records?

603
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a story behind that or something

604
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: like they know and they're like trying to see it

605
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: was cool. It just it felt it felt a little

606
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: Colti there too, a little coltie um. I don't know,

607
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: like the staff to like they just had this look

00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: don't have like the self control really um and and

660
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: discipline yet to do that. But I really want to

661
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: be like my healthiest that can because honestly, to her,

662
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: life is really hard on your body, like lack of sleep,

663
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: constantly getting in planes, constantly going on your feet a

664
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: lot doing this. You're always on it. Like it sounds

665
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: like I'm talking crap about what I do, but I'm not.

666
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: Like it's just it would be a lot easier healthy.

667
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're not talking, you know you have to

668
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: sing and be on stage like moving around, Yeah, getting

669
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: the crowd excited and name of the game. Just don't

670
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: get sick, Like that's the whole thing. So that's the thing.

671
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: What do you do, Like when you lose your voice,

672
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: you gotta just know your body and just go like,

673
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: this is pushing too far. So if I have to

674
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: cancel a show, I will. And we actually did have

675
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: to cancel UM two days ago UM show. And it

676
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: was really sucky because I was really it was a

677
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: college show. It was going to be super cool UM,

678
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: but like the night before, it was like I was

679
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: pushing it so much. UM. I took a bunch of

680
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: test I didn't have COVID or anything, but um, I've

681
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: got bronchitis and stuff. So it kind of sucks just

682
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: trying to watch it. But I should be good together

683
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: this week. You just worry about it problem, Like, wait

684
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,280

685
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: Nobody got time for that, Yeah, exactly. So you just

686
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of go on vocal rest then, yeah, and just

687
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: just talk less. Definitely don't sing. And then I've got

688
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: a whole like plethora of things that I do to

689
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: take care of it. I have like a nebulizer, I

690
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,000

Speaker 1: you have some some pipes, that's all I can say.

693
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,080

00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: out to the other I'm just saying conferred to me

695
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,360

734
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: on main stage, I can't believe that. So that's Stacy.

735
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: Huge shout out to Stacy. Yeah, Stacy, that is so exciting. Um, Okay,

736
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: another song I wanted to talk about that I saw

737
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: it's is it called world War me? Kind of like

738
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: your battle with anxiety. I think that's something really awesome

739
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: to talk about because I think a lot of people

740
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: have anxiety and it's just something we don't It's kind

741
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: of like depression. We just don't talk about it, you know.

742
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: I think I feel like a lot of people, including me, um,

743
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: just live with anxiety and kind of maybe ashamed of

744
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: it or scared of it. And like, I think it's

745
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: pretty normal, you know. And so the fact that you

746
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: were like vulnerable enough to talk about it, I think

747
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: that's really cool. I wish it wasn't normal, which is right,

748
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: you know. We just we've all been through a lot,

749
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: but it's it's it just shows that we're all human

750
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: beings and we're all not very different when we think

751
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: we are, Like we just dressed different, look different, but

752
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: we're all beating heart anxious written people, you know. Um,

753
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, that song we we chose to not. I

754
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: told my label and I told my management not to

755
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: put it out for a minute, because, um, all this

756
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: stuff was happening with you know, the invasion and everything

757
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: overseas and stuff, and I was like, I don't want

758
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: anybody to ever think that I would makes a song

759
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: or make something so devastating about me, you know, so um,

760
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: but the heart of it is truly like the World

761
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: War ME concept is I am fighting this internal battle

762
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: and this kind of thing, So it'll probably have its time.

763
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: I was really sad that we didn't put it out,

764
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: but I knew that it was the right thing to

765
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: do at the time, not to put it out. But

766
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: I think that it could really help people, Yes for sure.

767
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: Like that's what I love that you're so real and

768
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: very like I said, relatable, that everybody can basically relate

769
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: with what you're going through. And it's a battle in

770
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: your mind of thoughts. It's like going like this is

771
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: a lie. You know, this isn't true. And I lose

772
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: that battle a lot, and sometimes I win, and when

773
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: I win, I get a little bit stronger each time,

774
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm always trying to to fight that.

775
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: And you know, I definitely see I've got a good

776
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: group of people around me who try to keep my

777
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: head on straight and um a wonderful therapist that helps

778
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: me out. Um and he gives me a lot of

779
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: like tips on how to manage stress, how to manage

780
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: stress and reduce stress and to find like peace in

781
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: the chaos and stuff. So I've a long ways to go,

782
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: but but it's definitely helped me a lot. So Yeah,

783
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure like a part of it is when

784
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: you're in the spotlight, a lot of people come in,

785
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: you know with negative like haters or you know, people

786
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: that aren't so nice on social media, there'll be a

787
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: few here and there. Yeah, does that ever affect you?

788
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: And it does? I get upset. I get upset. It

789
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: hurts me because i I'm like, man, you don't know

790
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: my heart. Shoot, you know, that's the most frustrating thing.

791
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: My intentions are good, I promise, you know, like thing,

792
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: it like that bothers me, you know, but I'm gonna

793
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: have to learn to get tougher skin, you know, because

794
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: as you grow more of that kind of stuff, unfortunately

795
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: will happen and everything, but I just gotta my chief

796
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: and Simon always tell me, Nate, you're gonna look at

797
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: the one comment when you've got ten thousand other ones

798
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: that are like this helped me through suicide. This helped

799
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: me through He's like, focus on those, Focus on those,

800
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's the main thing I gotta do. So I

801
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: have to probably try and ignore those things distraction, you know. Yeah,

802
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: I actually did my first gig. I think just kind

803
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: of fun, like I'm not a professional like you, but

804
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: Broadway Alan Jackson's um at Alan Jackson's Bar, and I

805
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: got to tell you four hours of a long time. Yeah,

806
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: you won't be talking for a week. No, oh my

807
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: voice is hoarse. Yeah, for the next few days. And

808
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, what is happening? But I was

809
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: so nervous. That's the thing. Yes, Like singing in front

810
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: of small crowds, I do not like that. Like if

811
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: you asked me to sing right now, I hate that.

812
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: I hate it. But if I sing in front of

813
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: you know, like a thousand people, it's fine because they're

814
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: just you know, like, are you that way too? Or

815
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother you either. You're just like I'm starting

816
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: to get to where I can do both, but it's

817
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: always been a struggle with small crowds. Yeah, that's probably

818
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: pretty normal because you can just feel that. I know.

819
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you get better at it?

820
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: You just do it more. Did you ever play on Broadway? No? Really, Like, well, no,

821
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: I played. I played at Moxie, okay, but I didn't

822
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: really do the Broadway Ryan. I just I just wanted

823
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: to focus on writing songs and just getting that right

824
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: only my socials. That was kind of my whole thing.

825
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: And and if I had to take a job somewhere

826
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: doing something, I would have. But luckily it just kind

827
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: of worked out. But um, I respect everybody who's up

828
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: there grinding because it. I mean, you know, my sets

829
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: are about an hour, hour and a half and I

830
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: can't imagine in four hours a night and still have

831
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: a voice. So especially your songs, man, you know those

832
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: are intense. So but you played when you were younger, right, yeah,

833
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: like in California. Yeah, that's where you're kind of playing,

834
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 1: playing around everything. But I never did like the big

835
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: like cover cover song shows or anything like that. Like

836
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: I never like, did you know, forty songs a night?

837
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: I never really went down that road. I don't know

838
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: how people do it. I just didn't feel a desire

839
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: to do that. You know, which one of you? Which

840
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: one of your songs is like the hardest to sing? Honestly,

841
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: the first song of the night, really it's the hardest.

842
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: It's called that one and all right, all right, so

843
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: the first one is called Storms after name Storms after

844
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: all right? All right, those are both gonna be on

845
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: the album. Um, but they're all right, all right, there's

846
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: so much singing there's never a break to breathe really,

847
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: so I'm like, usually I've done with a song, um,

848
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: and Storms, Like we even lowered the key half when

849
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: we play it live, and it's still there's just the

850
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: top note. It's an you, and it's just a really

851
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: high you, and I always strained to kind of hit

852
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: that a little bit, but oh my gosh, it's really hard.

853
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: But then after that, the rest of the whole set

854
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: is breezy. Heavn's okay, all those are good. It's just

855
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: the way that the vowel sound with the note, you know. Okay,

856
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: so you just played the opry well, I mean, a

857
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: couple of months ago you had your offering debut. How

858
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: was that incredible, and I was lucky because Tanil was there,

859
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: so I got to I got to open for Tneil

860
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: at the Opry and then she joined me. Um on,

861
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to heaven. So we did

862
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: that live at the Opera for my debut, which is

863
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: really cool. And she gave me some like encouragement before

864
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: I went on, and I was really scared nervous. And

865
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: then Taylor, who's here with me right now, she she

866
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: prayed for me before I went up. Taylor, I was like,

867
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I've only asked her twice and

868
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: the whole time I've known her, And I was, will

869
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: you pray for me right now? Like you know, because

870
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm like and she did, and it was like I think,

00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm okay. That's amazing. So you went in like the

00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: just really fascinated with nature and how it works and

1058
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and I'm still trying to understand it all.

1059
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: So you might want to be like a meteor meteorologist

1060
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: one night. I think I'm more of just like it's

1061
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: interesting to me. I don't know if I want to

1062
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: be out there. I can see it right now, you

1063
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: in front of the green screen, right, yeah, you could

1064
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: looks like we got a halot with twister today coming

1065
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: through here, and you know I can't see it. I'm sorry,

1066
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: I was trying to be nice. Might just spin you around.

1067
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're actually really scary. I heard we

1068
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: had one like last week or something. My sirens were

1069
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: going off. I don't think so. I don't even think

1070
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: they ever saw one. They just made sirens go off

1071
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: just because we're trying to be extra cautious after the

1072
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: last one. It was not so it was not good.

1073
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: That was a bad one. That's no. I don't know

1074
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: what's happening. I mean, not from Kansas. There's tornadoes everywhere there,

1075
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: but ever since I moved here, they're like everywhere. They're

1076
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 1: following you. I know, I guess. So, what is your

1077
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: biggest fear in life? This gonna sounds so weird because

1078
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Christian, But my biggest fear in life is dying. Wow,

1079
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: it isn't want to die, Okay, that's a fear. I

1080
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: remember like the first time, like my um, I realized

1081
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: that you could die. I was I was like seven

1082
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: or something. Like that, and I freaked out, I like,

1083
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: and my Dad's like, there's no thing you can do

1084
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: about it. You will die one day, son. No, they

1085
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: just shoot me straight and I'm I'm like, dude, like

1086
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: why why do I have to do that? Like? Why

1087
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: do we have to go through this? This is not good? Um, Like,

1088
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: I like, I have beliefs of how that happens and stuff,

1089
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: but just I don't have the thought of it. It's crazy.

1090
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: If you really process it for a minute, I think

1091
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: it's it's insane, you know. So that's why weed is

1092
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 1: really not a good thing for me. That makes sense now, Yeah,

1093
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: that's where your mind goes. Oh no, I'm thinking of

1094
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: And I was like, can I choose to die right now?

1095
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: Like just like we have the power to do that.

1096
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking weird crazy things like that. I know,

1097
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: stay away, stay away from the weed. Bad bad. Oh

1098
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: my gosh. Just stick with Jack Daniels. Yes, that's where

1099
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: it's at light. Yeah, and a good hazy beer. Oh

1100
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: New England style. I just went to treehouse out of

1101
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 1: outside of Boston. Oh my god. They have one called Julius,

1102
00:52:55,719 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: like orange Julius, Like it's orange Julius. Would that be good. Okay,

1103
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: I stick with me, kid, I will. Okay, on a

1104
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, how good of a driver

1105
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: are you? That's so subjective, and other people have opinions

1106
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 1: on it. That's I can't just answer a one to tend.

1107
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: I think. I think I'm an eight. Okay, yeah, so

1108
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: what you think? And then what others think? Do you

1109
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: know what he's Driving's like, he's good, Okay, we got

1110
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: it good. That's also the critique. That's also the that's

1111
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: also the critique though, because I'm so careful. I'm happy

1112
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: sitting in the right lane. Okay, I'm not trying to

1113
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: pass everybody every ten seconds. If I'm side by side

1114
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: with a semi, I'm going to speed up and pass

1115
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: the sem. I'm not gonna sit there next to the

1116
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: freaking semi who can't see me. Good. See, that's good,

1117
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: thank you. I would say that's good. Yeah, But are

1118
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: you also really slow in the right lane? And people

1119
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: are like, oh my gosh, go maybe? But then if

1120
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm distracted, I'm terrible. So I gotta stay off my phone,

1121
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: don't have any conversations with me. Let me just drive. Yeah, okay,

1122
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: it's good because people on Nashville are not good drivers.

1123
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: It's a difficult to him. It's kind of all that

1124
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: it is. I was gonna ask you go to drink,

1125
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: but you just said them whiskey. Um, okay, just a

1126
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: few more. What is your biggest pet peeve? Being misunderstood? Oh?

1127
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Isn't that a good one? That is?

1128
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't hear that one too often, especially when you're

1129
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: trying to get something really serious across you, or like

1130
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: being assumed that you're saying something that you're not yes,

1131
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: or being accused of something you didn't do. That's the worst.

1132
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: Those are bad. Does it happen a lot to you?

1133
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: M hmm. I mean it has, but just when it happens,

1134
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, why are we here? Now? Got

1135
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: the this is why we don't date? Yeah? Okay, last one. Um,

1136
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: do you think you could be a kangaroo if you

1137
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: fought it like a full sized kangaroo? I don't understand,

1138
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: oh kangaroo? Repeat the question. If you saw a kangaroo

1139
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: like a jacked kangaroo, do you if you fought it,

1140
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: you think you could beat it? I'll give you. Bobby

1141
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: thinks he can ask me if I would punch an

1142
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: animal if you were no, if you were on a

1143
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 1: one on one match with a kangaroo. Have you seen

1144
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: some of those things? Okay? Is this like UFC. We've

1145
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: got a ring doing the whole thing. It's funny, or

1146
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: is it? I'm out in Australia. I just tripped and

1147
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: I just tripped into like a whole den of kangaroos,

1148
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: just one, and the leader comes out, mufassa bangs his

1149
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: chest and he's like me or you that one? Okay,

1150
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: that's the option. I don't know why, just Harry Lion

1151
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: King or something. But haven't you seen the one where

1152
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: this the kangaroo grabs a guy's dog and like it's

1153
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: just holding onto it and the owner comes out and

1154
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: it's like, let go my dog, and he won't, so

1155
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: he punches it in the nose. He like squares up.

1156
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,959
Speaker 1: If I had to fight one to survive, I would

1157
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: fight it. That's the question. Would I live or not?

1158
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would make sure that if if

1159
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: I have to pull eyeballs out or whatever I gotta do,

1160
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1161
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: go for everything. Here. You know, they got some main

1162
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: clause too, though, I mean, they'd probably kill you. I

1163
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: don't know. What do you think that's I'm asking you?

1164
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't I think it would kill you. I would

1165
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: not want to message, but I volunteer for a boxing

1166
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: match with a kangaroo? No, he answers, no, okay, thank you? Jay?

1167
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: Well did we cover everything? Did I leave anything out?

1168
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: I guess where people can find me? Yes? Where can

1169
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: they find you? Oh? You know, if you guys feel

1170
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: is kind enough to do this? But if you just

1171
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: hop on the Instagram, it's just Nate Smith blue checkmark.

1172
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: Not because I'm bragging, but so you know it's me.

1173
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: How did you get a blue checkmark? I don't know, jealous?

01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: let's stop talking about money. So we have a deal

1248
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: now where we're gonna next time I see her, me

1249
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: and my brother are going to give her a hundred

1250
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: dollars and ones right, and then every time she says

1251
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: something about money, we're gonna take one dollar out of

1252
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: her little hand. See how much she's left with at

1253
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: the end of the week or whatever it is. Do

1254
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: you think that all work? Oh? I thought you were

1255
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: trying to get it to stop her because she doesn't

1256
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: want the money taken away, But you're just doing it

1257
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 1: to see how much how much she actually talks about

1258
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: And so maybe, yeah, it would all so kind of

1259
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: make your go I'm losing money because I'm talking about money,

1261
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and intentions and karma and stuff. It might help her

1262
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: get out of that red of mental thinking, you know,

1263
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: it could she's always been like this because if you're

1264
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: always saying you're you're poor and you can't it actually

1265
