0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>her name Sweet because you're the sweetest. I really think

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you are the sweetest. I don't know, maybe it's just

0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>when I'm around you that's a kind of me. And

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>we have to comment on your hair because it is

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>looking bomb. I just did this two days ago, so

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of terrifying, but it was fun. I just

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be bold. What you said bold, it's so bold,

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's your skin tone, so it's kind of how

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>don't we described this color? I guess it's like a

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>true red. Amanda at Lee Edwards, she's the one who

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, did it once. We kind of baby stepped

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>me into it the first time, and then when I

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>came back, I was like, Okay, let's do it go

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>big or go home. Yeah, I love it. She went there.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>It was awesome. She's kind of obsessed with curly hair,

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>so she's been really helping me embrace my curly hair.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 1>And then I love embrace the color that it's mine

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and I love it. I don't think you should ever

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>change you. I would say this color forever. Yeah, okay, amazing.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Now I just need a convertible. Yeah, yes, exactly, totally

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't at the top down exactly. Okay, So I'm gonna

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>start with a little rapid fire. Okay, So well, actually

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>these are just some questions. So answer first thought that

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>comes to fine. Okay, if you had a time sheen,

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>would you go back in time or would you visit

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the future? And why? Where would you go? Oh? I

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.839
<v Speaker 1>would go back in time to the forties. I love

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the forties the speakeasies and the hair dues and yeah,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's kind of romantic because it was kind of

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>like dangerous but like not dangerous like during prohibition and stuff.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I would just love to see that. That would be amazing.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh you would look great? Is that like flapper? Yeah? Yeah,

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:30.119
<v Speaker 1>like great Gatsby, you know. Or cigarette smoking is really cool? Yes,

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and like the long like cane ones, you know, that

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>would be really fun to do that Okay, love what

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>always brings a smile to your face, Philip, he really does.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>guy and sweetest and he just always believes in me.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, anytime I get passionate about a project or

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>even a house project or sweet Lady Jane, he just

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>always believes in me and takes me there and pushes

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>me and doesn't let me like just hang myself or

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>let me, you know, have doubt self doubt. So it's

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of amazing. It's so good. I know, sometimes I'm like,

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I deserve you. You do, you

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>know you're not. And we're gonna come back to But

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>your husband is in a little big town and he's amazing,

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. And you also said sweet Lady Jane's that's

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>your blog when you're gonna talk all about But you

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>guys are the sweetest couple and I think people live

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>up to their names. That's so sweet. We live. I mean,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>we've been married for ten years and so we just

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to love each other forever and to be that

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>couple to gross our grandchildren. Now, we wanted to be

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>like on the front porch drinking dirty martinis and like

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>making out. Making out Is that a conscious decision? Because

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>some couples get into this thing where they start like

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>picking at each other and they kind of keep score

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, you see a couple

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>there they're always bickering and that's not you, guys. But

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that was a choice. I mean, yeah, it definitely is

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a choice. I mean, we definitely argue, but I mean

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just the way we kind of take a break.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It's our process. We learned to communicate. We always are

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>constantly learning different ways to communicate, and even as we

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>grow older, that changes to you know, your feelings change,

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and so as long as you keep in touch with

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>each other and be best friends, then you can be

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that way. I still like him a lot too cool.

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like you are love him more now

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>than you did ten years ago? Yes, Oh definitely, because

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean he helped me grow so much, and ten

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>years ago I was a little more cocky, a little

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>more obnoxious, you know, and he loved me through all that.

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Loved you get some wisdom, yeah, without shoving it down

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>my throat, which was kind of amazing. He let me

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>learn on my own terms, in my own pace. And

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't judge me for making my mistake or you know,

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>be like you're such an idiot. He never said that.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you've helped him grow too. I don't know

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 1>you have. That's beautiful. I think the only thing I

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>do is helping with his technology, your tech having. I

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>like technology a lot. I do. I do. I built

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a little big town an app one time years ago

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>because I just it's fun. It's just fun to kind

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of look at. I don't know how to code or

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>anything that far, but I just really enjoy that. It's

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. You're like a rocket scientist. It's fascinating. Well

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>in my former life, right right, you know, yeah, I

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>think that's great. You're like a sexy rocket scientist. I

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>like that. That's what we should be for Halloween. And

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you could have Philip dressed up as like a Bunsen burner,

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, exploding. That would be amazing. We do have

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>themed Halloween's at our house every year. It's kind of

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>hilarious when you're the first Halloween that we had our

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>daughter Penelope, he was a big bad wolf. I was

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>little bo peep and she was my sheep. It was

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>really hilarious. Oh my God, she was the cutest sheep ever,

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>little lamb, Little Lamb. Okay, so what makes you the angriest?

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>What makes me the angriest? Sweet? Still get angry? You

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>know what would make me angry is if you mess

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>with my husband or my baby. Don't family, don't mess

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>with your flock. It's just no, don't mess with my flock.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like that. Like it's especially with Philip

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and Penalpe that they are so sweet and they I

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>want to protect that. That I just get that makes

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>me fired up. You know. Yeah, that would definitely push

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>my button for sure. Yeah, Mama hand. Other than that,

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty easy going. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I thought there

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be much that made you angry. I just don't

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>mess with my dude. Okay. What is one song that

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>reminds you most of your life? Oh? Or one song

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to describe your life? To describe my life. That's a

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>tough one. That's a good one. I feel like there's

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.880

<v Speaker 1>let's just walk down. Okay, let's just yeah, literally, because

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>weren't you the intern? Didn't you tell me that y'all

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>have like a really du story. It is a scandalous

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of a love story, but it's a true love story.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>And how did it go down? Okay? So since I

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>grew up here in Nashville, I started Sony Music Nashville

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>in the basement when I was fourteen, and so anything

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I could an intern, yeah, well I was. It was

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>technically like part of a high school program like kind

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of like an internship, seeing how it goes and stuff

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like that. But that was when Mike Krasky and Alan

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Butler were the heads of Sony and I went to

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>high school with their sons, so we were all friends.

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And I just really wanted to be on the business

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>side of the music industry because I loved being around

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>creative people and passionate people. And if I was going

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to have to work a desk job for the rest

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>of my life, it had to be with passionate people.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Just couldn't do it anither way. So I went to college,

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>came back home, and that's kind of when everything in

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Nashville was kind of up in evil and you know, um, well,

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Sony Music Nashville, you know, Alan and Mike and a

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of the heads like ended up losing their jobs

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and they were kind of not sure what was going

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to happen with country music, if they were going to

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>move to New York or l A or just yeah.

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was kind of scary for my little

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>hometown because that's all that there was was country music,

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>country music. They were just getting it rid of it

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>all together, you know how they turned those tables right.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of crazy. So Mike Craskey opened up

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>an independent label called Equity Music Group. So of course

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I went baying on his door, and I was like,

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>please don't have a job, Please cant have a job.

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, I'm going to school and all this

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that and the other. And I got a job working

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>for the label and management. So I kind of got

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to see both sides of it all, and I really

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of help, you know, with everything, paying bills, getting contracts,

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>driving the artists around this note the other, and every

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>time I would see Philip, I would just get these butterflies.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But I swore to myself I would never date an artist,

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.719
<v Speaker 1>like even when I was a teenager, like just I'm

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>not going to do it. You know, why do people

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 1>swear to them? Because I did that to myself too.

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm not going to date an artist,

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>but I secretly knew I was because they're the most

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>creative and passionate. Yeah exactly. It's like almost like I'm

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>not going to touch the hot stove. You know. I

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>think we had these images that they couldn't be faithful,

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>or they could be committed or want a family right,

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>or how do you have a normal life and it

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>is obtainable, you know, but it's definitely about that right guy,

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. And he would always try to like make

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>my lunch when I was supposed to be making his lunch.

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dude, you're not supposed to do that.

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I am so long. I was there for a

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>year and was flirting with you. Oh yeah anytime you

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 1>saw me, like for me, and I was like booking

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>his airline tickets and stuff like that, and I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't be flirting with me. Donave me trouble. And

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>um in Mike Crest he had threatened fill up too,

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and Jimmy and any male around me he was like daddy,

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, like don't touch her, like she's off, Like yeah, yeah.

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I was a little like kind of like the daughter

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of the label. Like they just everybody wanted to make

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>sure that I was safe and you know, well taken

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>care of which I was stilling them in. Um the

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>long story short, they little Big Towns tour manager at

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the time called me and asked me to bring a

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>snake from Nashville to Memphis, like a snake the like

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the snake that um it connects the stage. I was

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, sorry, and nothing's too far out right, what

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of a snake instead of a cake? A little

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Britney spears action. I mean, I could happen. Karen might

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>have to take his anex holding his snake. But right,

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>but anyway, so it's a piece of gear that connects everything,

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, on the stage to the front of house

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and out to the audience. So I was like sure.

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, at the time, I'm trying to pay my

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.079
<v Speaker 1>bills and they offered me money to do it, so

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like okay. But the whole way there, I'm

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>like calling all my girlfriends and like, I know he's

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be there, and I know he's going to

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>dry and flirt with me. And I remember I had

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>texted him something and he never responded, like a funny joke,

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>he never responded. So I was like, Okay, he probably

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 1>thinks he's so much cooler than I am, so forget him, right,

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>And I get there and I'm sitting on his bus

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like see him on like the bus monitor camera,

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>like walking to the bus and I just grab a

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>newspaper and I'm like, m like so interested in what

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>this paper has. Amazing, So what you were like what

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you do about all about the news? Right then? Like

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you didn't even see him come in. You're too busy. Yeah,

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm too busy. And so he comes up and he

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>actually like, I'm so sorry I didn't respond to your text.

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, crap, he caught my bluff, you know,

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.920

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of the night came and I had to

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>drive back to Nashville and he was like, you can't

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>drive home by yourself. And I was like, I drove

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>here by myself. I'm a big girl. It's not that far,

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can handle it. And he's like, well,

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>don't fall, don't fall, you know, And also like that's

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a long time with just someone in a car, like

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of communicating that's going to happen here, right

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like and I'm working for the label still.

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It was just all sorts of So then he pulls

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>his bag to my car and he gets in, and

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is a good line, you know.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>I was like ready for it. I was like, well,

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I just want to let you know. If you think

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>that I'm that kind of a girl, you need to

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>get back on your artist bus and we can forget

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 1>this even happen. And I appreciate you. You're concerned, you know,

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>so you just put it out there. Yeah, and he

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>passed that I trying to hook up with you? Yeah right,

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, have you fats me on the shoulder and

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>he goes, well, I'm glad you got that out of

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the way. Oh my god. So he's just been super

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>cool from the startper cool from the start. And then

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>literally I'm glad you got that out of the way.

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>It was just okay. And then two months from then

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 1>we were engaged. A year later we were married. And

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>then so you'll make out on that car, right, Yeah

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>we kind of did. Yeah, totally totally. But it definitely

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>made me breakfast too. It was really so like a

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>makeout shack out. It was like he was really sweet

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>because we got there so I ended up being hey,

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but you're telling it. It's all about the way it's presented, right,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Because I also said I would never marry an artist,

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and I did that, right, So you know, I guess

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I should stop saying I'm not going to do it,

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>because then usually I did it. Yeah, because it's really

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>in your heart what you wanted to do, right, But

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you just want to be respected and you want to

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>be well treated, right. And I was giving up a

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>lot like dating him too, because then I would never

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>be taking seriously in the industry. Again. I didn't want

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to be that girl either that you know, dated a

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>bunch of artists or like I really and I was

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking for something to put my life my

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>future together, like kind of over dating casually and stuff

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. But I was also okay with being by

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>myself to know that's when it happens. Because I was

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>even ready to like never get married, you know. So

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I even told Philip that, like in that first month

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of dating, I was like, I don't really I'm not

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 1>really interested in getting married, and you know, I feel

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>like I can have a great life being me and

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>having a partner and not have to do that kind

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of a thing, and and then later on I was like,

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of course I told the one guy that I actually

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>want to marry that I don't want to get married.

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what we always do though, especially when

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you're in your twenties, you know, and you're trying to

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>be like cool, this is who I am. Cool, Like

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to like take a measure to me

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>and just letting you know I'm an adult adult. Yeah,

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and I make the rules. Oh what is that? A

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty woman? And I say who I? I say that.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like, it's just I'm a walking contradiction, I guess

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>with But yeah, oh my gosh. I wouldn't change it

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>for the world. And you know, I have to play

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>hard to get right. He can't just have everything right.

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>He can't be sweet and adorable and charming charming. Yeah right, yeah, exactly.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>How has it been being married married to a musician?

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Has that worked out for you? Oh? I love it.

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean my house is always full of music, and

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>it inspires my daughter to be in the arts and creative,

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and I just it's enjoyable. It's fun to watch because

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not necessarily the art, you know, into music musician

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. But you are very creative, But I'm

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>very creative. I'm just more in a different way. And

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I just love hearing him play different instruments and I

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's really cool. Sometimes on stage he's literally is

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>playing the guitar and playing the piano at the same time.

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how do you do that? How is that possible?

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>He plays with his years up here in this hand

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.239
<v Speaker 1>on the piano. It's crazy. I have that kind of

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>He's a freaky anomaly anything. He'll grocer out his gray hairs,

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>even growing blonde. It's really obnoxious. So we've been looking

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>for the perfect specimen and we found him. It's your husband,

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's both of you. Guys. It's okay.

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a superhero, what powers would you have? Oh,

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>if I was a superhero, I would I guess to

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>change somebody's heart, Like, you know, there's so much gosh, Okay,

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I want to drop the mic on that one, of course,

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you are the sweetest person. Well, there's so

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>much like going on in the world, and not to

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 1>bring it to the depressing point, but it's like, just

0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 1>if you could literally just touch somebody and change their

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>mindset about the world, that would be a cool superpower

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>because then we wouldn't have all this hate going on.

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, why do you think all this hate is

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>going on? I think it's a miscommunication. Yeah, and I

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>think unfortunately, you know, I love social media, but there

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>are some downsides to it. And sometimes what it is

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>is that people don't take responsibility for the things that

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>they put out there, and they think, oh, well, it's

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>just my opinion. I can say whatever I want to. Well,

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>people listen to your opinions when you put it out there,

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 1>whether it's right or wrong. And I think teaching that

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>social responsibility to people, it's just spreads like why wild

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>thought fire, you know, and everybody likes a little drama

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and controversy, and but it's snowballs. It's snowballs and people. Yeah,

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>it's unfortunate, but I think it's important to just start

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>talking about it and that it isn't against all of us.

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>We're all in it together, you know. Yeah, I mean

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>we've got to do something about it. Yeah, in like

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty years where they won't be like a white European

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 1>person genetically, you know what I mean, Like we'll just

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.679
<v Speaker 1>all be a big blend of people. It's gonna be

0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 1>so criss cross, so we'll I'll just be a bunch

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.959
<v Speaker 1>of MUDs, which I love mutton. They have a lot

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>less health problem, like more adapted. It's the way nature intended,

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it. I agree. You don't see

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>other animals asking each other about their genetic backgrounds exactly.

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 1>I love that great superpower. Thanks. Okay, And if you

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.120
<v Speaker 1>could choose one celebrity to trade lives with, who would

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 1>it be? And why? Oh let's see, maybe just for

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a day, maybe not permanently. Love her. She's the best

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.119
<v Speaker 1>legs everybody And every time I see or do a

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>photo shoot or anything on Instagram, I'm like, I would

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>love to spend a day in your life. Yeah, she's

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>just one. Yeah. What would it be like to be

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 1>a supermodel? I know, right, Yeah, that would That's always

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 1>fascinating to me. I would want to be a fly

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>on the wall, even like backstage and hear what they

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about and they're all there's just all of them,

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, just like this heard of like the most

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>gorgeous women, these legs and they just hang out together. Yeah,

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of incredible, it is, And I would just

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.880
<v Speaker 1>want to like try on one of the clothes, even

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 1>though it wouldn't be able to fit into it. But well,

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you're class for the day, it will

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>fit like a love. But you are smoking, so I

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>love your body. I'm smoking in my own way right exactly.

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>You got your own thing going make you okay. So

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get into this now. We've talked about

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>how you are in Nashville Native. How did you decide

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>that you wanted to stay? Did you always know you

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be in Nashville because you're like an O G.

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, people call me the unicorn. It's kind of funny. Yes,

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>there's not many like original Nashville Native people. You know.

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>The funny thing is when we were growing up, there

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.199
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a whole lot here. I mean, we didn't have

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a professional football team. We didn't even have a professional

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 1>team at all. Are you kidding? No? I think I

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>always joke make a joke that we had wrestling like

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 1>on Friday nights and they had midget wrestling even and

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.439
<v Speaker 1>like that was like the big hype to do or

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>drive down Second Avenue. And that's when Second Avenue was

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>two lanes, like one going one way and one going

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the other. Wow, and it has exploded. That whole part

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of Nashville's exploded. Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean it used

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to be this little town of nowhere because Atlanta was

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>so big that if you were going to go in

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the South, you would go to Atlanta. I'm not Nashville.

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>How did Nashville blow up? I think it just kind

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of I think country music definitely helped Nashville blow up.

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it has always been the heart of this town,

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and I mean the people were, you know, supported by

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that industry, and so when the Dixie Chicks came out,

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and those you know records,

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.119
<v Speaker 1>really yeah, it kind of blew it out of the water.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Tim and Faith are such a gorgeous human beings,

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and the Dixie Chicks were just, you know, you've never

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>heard of a girl band harmonizing at that time, and

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.440
<v Speaker 1>they were just selling big numbers like pop. So it

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of changed that perception. And then the show Nashville,

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, really helped to show that it's not just

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 1>like an but it's not but it's not at all. Know,

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>but we all used to tease that we want to

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>get out of the small town and be like, I'm

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 1>never going to live in Nashville. My parents live here,

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, And then you go away to college and

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.479
<v Speaker 1>you realize what a cool and special place this is.

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>There's just something about so special you, just the people,

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>even the people who move here and lived here for

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>ten or fifteen years. It's just it's contagious. The I

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 1>guess what do you call it? The aura or the age?

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.399
<v Speaker 1>You know? I feel that same way. Yeah, it's welcoming.

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's always welcomed, and you can say hey or yeah,

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>sit down at a bar and make a new friend.

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like it's a competitive town. I feel

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>like people compete with themselves and everyone here is a

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>dreamer and everyone here is trying to accomplish these awesome passions.

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's never like I want to win and with

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 1>this person to love. Ever, I don't get that vibe

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>at all. No, I don't either, And honestly, like it

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 1>was kind of shocking when I've gone to other wordships

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 1>with Philip that weren't country music based, and just to

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 1>see the drama and how so and so's dressing room

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 1>can't be next to so and so and and in

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>country music, I feel like we're all just happy to

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>be in wonder seeing room because we're all in they're

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>drinking together anyways, so exactly, you know, and it's a

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>big family and everybody's cheering each other on. And I

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's so important for a community of music, you know,

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 1>an artist, to just have that support group. And it's amazing.

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree. I love it. So let's talk about

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 1>your blog, Okay, sweet lady Jane, yes to tell me

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.160

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.240

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>like you love this one little place to get your

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>own vegetables. Talk to me about your heart and it

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>started um with kind of conquering an issue of fear. Um,

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So Philip actually figured out that I'm dyslexic. How did

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you figure this out? And tell me what it's like

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.679
<v Speaker 1>living with dyslexia when you have no idea that you

0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>have it. It was incredibly hard. Um. Growing up, I

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>knew that we all, my whole family did and my

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>mom did, especially she's a teacher, and you know, she

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:07.439
<v Speaker 1>did the best she could help me. But dyslexy is

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 1>really something that one in five people have, and every

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>dyslexic dyslexic is different. So I don't see letters backwards.

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I like flip when I'm writing. I have to be

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>aware of how I flip the sentence. So like an example,

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 1>so like you know you have like the beginning of

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>a sentence and then comma the end of the senence,

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm Rebecca Sweet and my blog is banging, so yeah,

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 1>it would be like I would flip it. I would

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>be like my blog is like I sometimes just flip that,

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>or I omit words that don't have visuals like the A.

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>So everything is a picture for you. Everything is tied

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to a sensory. So when I read, I have to

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have it read to me and I have to be

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>touching the book for me to really comprehend it and

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>not have to sit there for thirty minutes on the

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 1>same paragraph, like really struggling with it. Yeah, it's kind

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of I'm exploring it a lot, but figured it out.

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 1>He actually this is how gentle he was about it too.

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Um he found a documentary that Richard Branson and Charles

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Schwabs did called Rethinking Dyslexia, and he's like, this looks

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 1>really cool, and Richard Branson's in it, let's like check

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it out. I literally bawled through the whole thing and

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm not crazy. This is exactly how

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel. He just knew. I think he just knew.

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>He's just so intuitive. And when I would ask him

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to spell things like phonics don't make sense to me

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>at all, Like to me, it's my logic kicks in

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and A sounds like an A like not at all,

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Like that doesn't compute with me at all, So sounding

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 1>words out, none of that makes sense to me. So

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 1>writing a blog would be very hard. Then if you

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>have a hard time with senate structure and like, how

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 1>did you? How do you do it? So I have

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a little patient with myself. Um. I definitely

0:25:50.880 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 1>have a journal that I carry around a lot that

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.640
<v Speaker 1>if you looked at it probably looks like foreign language

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>because it's just scribbles. And then I take that and

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I write. And I also have this app of my

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>commuter called grammatically, and it shows me what is wrong

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 1>with the sentence and why so I'm actually like kind

0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of having to relearn how to the English language because

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:13.919
<v Speaker 1>now I'm aware that I'm dyslexic, so now I know

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>how I learned, So now I have to go back

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and put those fundamentals into my brain. It's kind of intense,

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's it feels good, like because I'm not scared

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 1>anymore and writing such a big scared Yeah did you

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 1>were you? Nervous with words? Nervous with words? Um? I

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>have seven years of college and no degree because I

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>would just get so frustrated with school because no teacher

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 1>could help diagnose you. I mean my English teacher and Auburn.

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.919
<v Speaker 1>The whole reason why I left Auburn University was because

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I was in English class really trying like my best,

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 1>going to the writing lab. I've never missed a class.

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean even if I was sick, I would still

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 1>be there because she gave quizzes, so I needed all

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the points I could possibly get, knowing that my grade

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>heavily dependent on the paper at the end of the semester. Well,

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>had my mom helped me. She has an English master's

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, like proof read it and all this stuff.

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>And my mom when she would proof read it. She

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 1>would never like fix it for me. She would do

0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the same thing like grammatically does, like take a little

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>comment note and explained to me that it was wrong,

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>but not fix it. So my teacher had a program

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that could see all that. Well, she tries to turn

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>me in for plagiarism and I'm trying, like how frustrating?

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Is this so frustrating? And I got a hundred on

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 1>all my quizzes. I mean technically before that paper, I

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>had an a failed. You gave me a c wow.

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's probably really traumatizing too, because you're trying your

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>hardest and then all of a sudden, it's like I

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to do. And if I'm putting all

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>this effort into it, is this how my life is

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be? Like if I put this much effort

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm I know, I'm doing my best, but it's

0:27:56.119 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 1>not your best, it's my best. It's defeating, so defeating.

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 1>It just was I didn't think I could ever conquer it.

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>I never thought I would ever be a writer, but

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I always wanted you to be a writer. Writer. Yeah, gosh,

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that next you want to cry? I love And it's

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.679
<v Speaker 1>like so freeing. It's like getting to the top of

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>that mountain and still seeing another mountain, but you're like, yes, yeah,

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna climb that mountain to you, you know, And

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>what an inspiration to your daughter show. I mean, I

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 1>get so emotional I hit thirty and everything. I'm like,

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>there's like a puppy, like a Sarah McLachlin puppy commercional like, well,

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's so inspiring to see people take things

0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that are feeling impossible and conquer him. Yeah, it is

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>such a great thing for Penalpi and I too, because

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I like about her and I just relationship is. I'm

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the mom that admits that I have flaws to her.

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I tell her that I made that I'm telling you

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>not to do it because I made that mistake, or

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you to pay attention to this because I

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't aware of it. You know, like I really try

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to help her under stand that. It's not just because

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm mom. Yeah, I'm trying to show her how the

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>world works, and that is my job and to protect

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>her and to keep her safe because when she's eighteen,

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>ye on your own, you know, like Mama can't save you.

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Has she received this parenting. Does she understand, Yeah, because

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>she feels like I respect her because I do respect her,

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and so it kind of helps that mutual respect. And

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean she's still sassy to me, but

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that you treat her like a human, treating her down

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to Yeah, because I couldn't stand that when I was

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>a kid, and I think a lot of parents it's

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>easy to say that because it's hard. It is frustrating

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in those moments when they're not doing what you're saying

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>or asking and they're like why why, and you're like,

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess I sets up, you know, like you have

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to take the time, you have to breathe, take a

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 1>step back. I mean, kids do push your buttons. They're

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>supposed to push your boundaries to you know. So it's good,

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's good. I like our relationship. She's my little buddy.

0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. She's a little crazy pants sometimes for sure.

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Well you gotta have a little crazy right. Okay, So

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about this little homestead place that you go

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to where you do a lot of your food blogs,

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>because I love that you are also intentional with food,

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Like that doesn't surprise me because you're an intentional person.

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But I do love food and everything you make it

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 1>seems like it's like coming from nature, like whole products. Yeah,

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I definitely try to do. I think it's super important

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to use the healthiest option. I mean, even when you're

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>making a sweet, you still want it to be healthy

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>because cancer so rampant, and there's so many you know,

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>philosophies out there why or what but and all of that.

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But beyond that for me, is it really does taste better.

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You have kind of to train yourself if you don't

0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>grow up healthy and whole. It's a new You have

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to train your tastes fresh. Yeah, it's interesting and then um.

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Philip was also a big inspiration about food because he

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 1>grew up on welfare. So he grew up on a

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>welfare He grew up on a wellfair girl. Are you

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>serious of the American dream? He is the American dream,

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>single parent, household, five children. How did he get here?

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I keep telling Laurie McKenna that he

0:31:14.360 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>needs to She needs to write a song called I

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:20.400
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be here with him, because it is it. He

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>technically statistically should not be where he's at, that positive

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>inspired person. His mom had a theater in Arkansas, and

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 1>he would play music and he can. I mean he

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>can read music, but he can't. I can read music

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>better than he can. Yeah, totally by your He he

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>won't admit this, but I think he has perfect pitch.

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. He's like a savant superhuman. He's a savant superhuman,

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:46.000
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't It's like he doesn't know it. It's

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>really weird. Well, and that's the thing too, Like you

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>guys are a celebrity power couple. Honestly, you are so sweet,

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>but no one would know because the way you guys

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 1>interact with people is so well, humble and kind. Just

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:03.719
<v Speaker 1>like said, I love that song too. Um. You know,

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think our philosophy has always been, um, we want

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to feel comfortable in our skin, and if that's empowering

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to somebody or make somebody else feel good, then that's

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the point. You know, it just feels

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>good to be together, and it feels good to be me,

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and it feels good to be him. So when that

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:27.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of unites, it just oh man, we're just trying

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to get ahead, you know, you're just trying to do

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>your deal. We're just trying to get to the point

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 1>where we're staying in rocking chairs with dirty martinis, grossing

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 1>our grandchildren out. That's just like the ultimate goal and

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 1>just have a great, beautiful life together. It's interested in food. Yeah,

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>he's super picky about food, which he has every right

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to be picky about food. And he like healthy food,

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>loves healthy food, he loves any food. I mean, he

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>really is a foodie, an authentic foodie. He it will

0:32:55.480 --> 0:32:58.120
<v Speaker 1>ruin his day if you have a better dish than

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>he does, like kind of a thing so to happen

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and you have a better dish, oh, he pounds. It's

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>really sad. You have to share it with him. You

0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>just like dish and he thinks you've got a good one,

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>and then if it's not good, he'll be super sad,

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>super sad. No, it's like it's kind of sad and

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh honey, it's okay, order it, you know,

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>or he'll order, you know, several appetizers just because he

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 1>wants to try umph. You know. Like I will say,

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Michael's kind of like that, my husband. He loves he

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 1>wants it all because he just doesn't want to miss

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>something that could be right. Maybe that's a musician thing

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>because they travel so much and they're in that restaurant

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in that moment. Yeahs interesting, Maybe that's what it is.

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And I also wanted to Penelope to know, um where

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 1>her food came from. I thought, I think that's really important,

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, to teach our kids. It's a lot. It's

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of a dying thing, this farming, and it's unfortunate.

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody thinks in airloom tomatoes should look perfect,

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and they don't. You know, like you cut that spot

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 1>off and eat around it, you know. Or so farmer

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Stephen out there and then Nina who works out there,

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>they have just been so inspiring. It's that same thing

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and being around passionate people. They're passionate about what they

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>do and there's a science behind it all, and but

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it looks so effortless, Like there's a field of wildflowers

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>just to keep the weeds down, and you're like, that's amazing.

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I would have never thought to plant wildflowers to keep

0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 1>weeds up. I bet you're going to have one of

0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>these one day, huh. I kind of want one really bad.

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of my therapy. I got that vibe when

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like stalking a hardcore I was like, this

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 1>is where you are, like in your happy place. Yeah,

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:36.359
<v Speaker 1>like your you love nature and look connecting with your

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 1>hands in the dirt. Yeah, And I think it's that

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and being around somebody who's passionate about it. So because

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 1>I learned something new and I can teach that to Penelope,

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's just fun to see them and all of

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:49.919
<v Speaker 1>us get out there together and get our hands dirty.

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Especially the first time they ever met me. They were

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, she's not gonna get her hands dirty,

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 1>like no way, And I was like, Okay, what are

0:34:57.719 --> 0:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>we doing? And so they put me in the chicken

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 1>coop and we cleaned it out. They literally thought I

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 1>was not going to touch any of the chickens or

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>any of the poop or anything like that. How do

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you find this place? Um? This is funny, So since

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I grew up here. Um the gentleman who owns it Andy,

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 1>he also owns Puckets. Oh Cool, one of the coolest

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.279
<v Speaker 1>local joints in Amazing. Yeah. Every Sunday when I was

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a kid, we used to go out to Leaper's Fork

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and get a cheeseburger. It's so fun out there, so

0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>fun out there, Franklin, that whole area. Leb's Fork is

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 1>like out of a movie. It's seriously and everybody's just

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 1>so sweet and down home, and you know there's a

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.240
<v Speaker 1>guy in overalls and a John Deer hat in every corner.

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's just really special place. And so they

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 1>got opened or acquired at the mansion I think several

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:43.239
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and then opened up homestead manner, and then

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the farm. It's still new, but it definitely supports the kitchen.

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:49.919
<v Speaker 1>But then they have other farms kind of help get

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more beefed up. But can you like

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>buy vegetables from there? Yeah, they have a farmer's market

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>every Wednesday. They even have mimosas, have a mimosa bar.

0:35:59.200 --> 0:36:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. It's so amazing. And um, do you like

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to Molly's Love to Molly Homemade Real to Molly's. This

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:11.439
<v Speaker 1>guy he has four huge pots and sometimes six, he'll

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>make two extra ones and they sell it like that.

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.680
<v Speaker 1>They're so good and they're like in the husk and

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:21.839
<v Speaker 1>everything and the restaurant husk. Yeah, in the corn husky. Yeah,

0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing. This makes me want to move out this

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>direction towards, like you know, because like that whole area,

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.759
<v Speaker 1>it is very more like farm to table I feel like,

0:36:31.000 --> 0:36:33.840
<v Speaker 1>very local, which I love. And they're just the people

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:38.160
<v Speaker 1>who are there just amazing, Like Rory Jury and Rory

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they used to go there all the time and he

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 1>still goes out there with their little girl and he's

0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>such a ray of sunshine. You've seen him, Yes, Joey

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and Rory for everyone listening, they are the most beautiful,

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 1>inspiring love story ever ever. Rory is the husband and

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he's been his wife. Joey passed answer, Yeah, a horrible

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.080
<v Speaker 1>battle of cancer and he documented it and there's a

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>movie coming out about it right Yeah. And I think

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>he's writing a book too. And he has such a

0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:07.920
<v Speaker 1>light about him. I can't explain it, but if you

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>ever see him in person, there's just like it's like

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>looking at an angel. There's just such a little glow

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.399
<v Speaker 1>about him. And the way he talks about her and

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.440
<v Speaker 1>his journey, it's like his journey is not over and

0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>he wants to tell their story and hopefully find a cure.

0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 1>But even better than that, I think he wants to

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just help somebody feel better about if they're going through it.

0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:31.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's he's just a special person to have

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 1>the ability to have that kind of like wisdom and

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.319
<v Speaker 1>knowingness when you're in that kind of pain, Like his

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 1>faith is strong, strong, because I'd be pretty angry, pretty

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:44.560
<v Speaker 1>devastated to think you have to go the rest of

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>your life without your soul mate, especially when you have

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful baby and you know that baby is going

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 1>to ask questions later and to have to relive that

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>would be I think the most difficult thing to do,

0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:58.239
<v Speaker 1>you know. But he's amazing, so he's up there too.

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:02.240
<v Speaker 1>And then you know the little moms that have canning

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and then you can get your meat up there.

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>They even have bison. How great. So you're just eating

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:13.759
<v Speaker 1>like the most natural no hormone, no hormone. So what

0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>do you like to cook? Like when you do your blogs,

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>how do you decide what you want to cook? Have

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you always grown up cooking? And you also do cocktails? Yes,

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:26.680
<v Speaker 1>because well I come from a Portuguese Irish family, so

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we love get togethers and they always involve cocktails, and

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to Yeah, it's just it's just the way

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:36.439
<v Speaker 1>it was. We didn't necessarily like cook all the time,

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>like during the week, because my parents both worked jobs.

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes my mom had two or three jobs, Like, they

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:43.080
<v Speaker 1>just worked really hard for my brother and I to

0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 1>have a very comfortable life and we definitely did. Yeah,

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:50.240
<v Speaker 1>they're really great people. What a blessing to have parents

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah, it's super was And so my dad,

0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 1>he definitely is the party guy. And you know, so

0:38:57.280 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he would plan these nights of cooking, like especially Chinese,

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:03.359
<v Speaker 1>so he loves Chinese Chinese. He makes the best eggirls ever.

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I wrote about it on the blog and the recipes

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 1>up there. It's so good. They're like little burritos. They're amazing.

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 1>And he just would have such a fun time. And

0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:15.120
<v Speaker 1>those are fond memories growing up of trying a new

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:18.319
<v Speaker 1>recipe and just kind of see what happens or what's

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in there. Such a unifying thing. Yeah, and if you like,

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're angry and you cook, it's gonna taste angry. Really, yes,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling me about this. It's really weird, Philip actually

0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of because you know, one time I came home

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was just frustrated and traffic was bad, and

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I was trying to rush and it

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:39.040
<v Speaker 1>was school night and trying to hurry herr Harry, and

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>felt was like stop or if it's gonna taste like that.

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's the truth. If you think about it, anything

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>you touch, you know, there's a reaction to it, right,

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:50.680
<v Speaker 1>like wow. Yeah, so that's why they say put your

0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:53.360
<v Speaker 1>love into it and like you can taste the love. Yeah,

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:57.400
<v Speaker 1>it's true. It's really true. Actually, I thought a lot

0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:59.719
<v Speaker 1>about how energy affects everything, but I have never thought

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 1>about it in cooking. Yeah, it definitely does. Like, you know,

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>if you love what you're doing, people are going to

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:06.800
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, I love this, and you can taste

0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the love. You can taste it, you know, and it

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel good. That's soul food, yeah, exactly, because

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:15.280
<v Speaker 1>like if someone that you love has made this food,

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>you know that and that that sounds like a moment

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>for me, right yeah. See, and it's amazing. And I

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 1>really wanted to learn how to cook too for Philip,

0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:26.479
<v Speaker 1>like since he you know, I didn't have to worry

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:28.319
<v Speaker 1>about food. I mean, I could eat whatever I wanted

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to when I was growing up, and even when we

0:40:29.840 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>went to the grocery store, it was not a problem.

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.400
<v Speaker 1>If you wanted to box the lucky charms, you had

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a box of lucky charms, you know, And he didn't

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 1>have that same luxury. So I really wanted him to

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 1>be able to come home and have his wife cook

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>him a nice meal. It's like a love language, you know,

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's a way to be like I love you

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 1>or you you know, like I just love all the

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>love you guys have in your life. It's it's important

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 1>feel it, like I have. I wanted to cry like

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>three times. I'm talking about so sweet because there's so

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:59.040
<v Speaker 1>much love that radiates not just from you, but the

0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.879
<v Speaker 1>family all create the way you are expressing yourself through

0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:05.919
<v Speaker 1>your blogs, music, like, there's so much it's important to us.

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:09.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, I feel like you radiate that constantly. It's

0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's what started our relationship. I mean everybody

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.080
<v Speaker 1>thought we were probably crazy when we first started dating,

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:17.319
<v Speaker 1>because you know, he was an artist, and there's an

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:19.719
<v Speaker 1>age difference and this that and the other, and he

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:22.320
<v Speaker 1>was so much further in his career and I wasn't.

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And but you know what, we overcame all those odds

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>because we loved each other. And you know, I even

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>had several friends when we first got married, like you know,

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:32.400
<v Speaker 1>what if this doesn't last, and I'm like, well, it

0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 1>would be worth the years that I'm with him, like

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it just was worth the gamble to me. So you know,

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it's faced off of love. That's just what it continues

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:44.799
<v Speaker 1>to be. And that's what I want. That's what I

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>want for Penalpi to. I want her to find that

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 1>one guy that loves her and treats her the way

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that Philip treats me. And she has that example, and

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I had that example with my dad. My dad loves

0:41:57.239 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and so does my mom. But I'm a daddy's girl.

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:05.520

<v Speaker 1>people can get along, and they really do. They really do.

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean they really work together, and they really are

0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>very loyal to the four of them. I mean, like

0:45:30.080 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 1>they talk and they made the commitment to each other

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>about family and how important that was for them, and

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.720
<v Speaker 1>they want a families on the road. Yeah. Yeah, Karen's

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Kiki and Kimberly's Burly or Kim or you know, like

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 1>in the Penelope was bob Bops, which came from Daisy,

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>which is Kimberly's little girl. They kind of raises like cousins.

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 1>They act like siblings a lot um. Daisy definitely takes

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:00.360
<v Speaker 1>on the role of Elvis, and i'll Be takes on

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>middle and Elijah is definitely the baby boy. There's three kids,

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.400
<v Speaker 1>so you all just have one, but it's almost like

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:08.800
<v Speaker 1>no one's an only child. It's the best of both worlds.

0:46:09.320 --> 0:46:11.080
<v Speaker 1>On the road they have siblings and then at home

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>they get to be the only kid. It's kind of incredible. Yeah,

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm like, I want to be I want

0:46:17.600 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to be you want to be you. Life is so

0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:21.759
<v Speaker 1>but you know what, you guys have gone with the

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>flow of your life, Like I feel, there's no resistance,

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 1>like you guys embrace it all you have to. I mean,

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 1>otherwise I don't want to do it this way, and

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to raise my kid on the road

0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and put up a fight about it. But I feel

0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:37.520
<v Speaker 1>like it's not worth it that you fight harder than

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.759
<v Speaker 1>than it is just to go with it. And you know,

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:42.879
<v Speaker 1>the experience of these kids are getting to see it's

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:46.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of incredible. And they've been to almost well, Daisy

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 1>has been to every state but Alaska and um, and

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll be in Elijah. I've been to every state but

0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Hawaiian Alaska. So I mean that's incredible. And they're not

0:46:55.400 --> 0:46:59.840
<v Speaker 1>even in double digits yet. So yeah, it's kind of amazing.

0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I never left Nashville except her to go to the beach,

0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:05.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get a Panama City on springbreak, you know,

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.920
<v Speaker 1>life experience. I wonder what they're gonna be after seeing

0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:13.920
<v Speaker 1>all these options. They're such smart little cookies. Yeah, they

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 1>really are. They really don't see male, female color, any

0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of that stuff, like you know, but all these best

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:24.480
<v Speaker 1>friends besides Daisy and Elijah is a boy um Dylan,

0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and they are like tight little buddies, and so it's yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I think a proud mommy moment was for me when

0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was doing something right. Was her

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:38.640
<v Speaker 1>last birthday. We took her to Disney World and we

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:40.919
<v Speaker 1>took her to the bipity boppy Bootlan and they dress

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.200
<v Speaker 1>them all up, so she wanted to be Jasmine and

0:47:43.200 --> 0:47:44.600
<v Speaker 1>then she goes, Mommy, I want to go get my

0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 1>picture taken with Chewbacca. I was like, you got it. Yeah,

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you just like to play a girl. You don't care

0:47:50.600 --> 0:47:53.879
<v Speaker 1>what it is. She left Star Wars Barbies American girl doll.

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.800
<v Speaker 1>If it's a toy, she loves us. Yeah, I love that. Yeah,

0:47:57.840 --> 0:47:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it's really kind of neat. But I think it's because

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.160
<v Speaker 1>growing up on the road, you just every walk of life,

0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the road especially it was a tour because there's so

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:08.160
<v Speaker 1>many crew, so many people that are on the road.

0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:10.719
<v Speaker 1>It's like a whole world. Yeah, it is every walk

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>of life. And a lot of those crew people have

0:48:12.920 --> 0:48:15.200
<v Speaker 1>seen them grow up. And even if they don't necessarily

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 1>work for a little big town anymore, they might work

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for Luke, who a little big towns out with. Now

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 1>our very first bus driver when the girls were babies

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is out there, Reggie, and you know, he can't believe

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:26.399
<v Speaker 1>how big the girls are getting. So it's a little

0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:29.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of a family reunion too. And those are the

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:32.680
<v Speaker 1>constants for them, is those people out there and the

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:35.720
<v Speaker 1>bus life, and so it doesn't really matter that the

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:38.440
<v Speaker 1>outside environment is changing. It really doesn't affect them. It's

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:43.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of crazy, isn't everyone, My husband, they're just getting

0:48:43.520 --> 0:48:45.880
<v Speaker 1>going in their thousand horses. You've been in after a

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:48.359
<v Speaker 1>long time. But isn't it amazing so many people are

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>like how can you live this life? Is it overwhelming?

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it hard? But like to me, is it hard

0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 1>in general? Beautiful though the experiences in the community, Well,

0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:00.439
<v Speaker 1>life is hard in general, no matter where you're raising

0:49:00.440 --> 0:49:03.160
<v Speaker 1>your baby. I mean, if it was just a choice

0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I made, you know, like when Penelby was born, I

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:07.799
<v Speaker 1>had a choice to sit at home by myself, why

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Philip was out on the road with George straight for

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:12.000
<v Speaker 1>two months with a new baby, or hop on that

0:49:12.040 --> 0:49:16.520
<v Speaker 1>bus and have another new mom that's literally across the

0:49:16.640 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 1>bus hallway from me, and you know, to be able

0:49:20.200 --> 0:49:22.399
<v Speaker 1>to ask Karen, hey, can I just go potty by

0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:25.000
<v Speaker 1>myself really quick? And we watch her and they would

0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:27.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, It's like it was. It is a family.

0:49:28.040 --> 0:49:29.839
<v Speaker 1>We do take care of each other, and that's what's

0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:32.279
<v Speaker 1>so nice about it. I mean, it's kind of a

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 1>blessing to have Philip, but it's definitely blessing to have

0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:40.839
<v Speaker 1>his bandmates too. Yeah, they're great. People are all on one.

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:42.839
<v Speaker 1>We used to all be in one. It's a lot

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of people on one. The girls used to share a bunk.

0:49:45.520 --> 0:49:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We split a bunk in half and patted them all out.

0:49:48.719 --> 0:49:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And this is the I will never forget this Daisies

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:53.560
<v Speaker 1>our little gymnast. She she literally has had abs since

0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the day she was born. She's just so fit and

0:49:56.360 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 1>little muscles on her legs. She's adorable. Um morning we

0:50:01.239 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>had the divider and the girls kid pop their little

0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 1>heads out when they you know, were awake and stuff.

0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Well one morning we thought, gosh, they're sleeping in and

0:50:08.200 --> 0:50:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they're being so quiet, and all of a sudden we

0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:16.279
<v Speaker 1>hear this, like Daisy had swung herself over into penalpes

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:19.319
<v Speaker 1>bunk and we hadn't didn't hear it because she's like

0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>just some muscles. Oh my gosh, we have no like Kimberly.

0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:25.360
<v Speaker 1>And I was like still like trying to wrap her

0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:28.959
<v Speaker 1>head around, like how did she do that? Oh my god?

0:50:29.680 --> 0:50:32.000
<v Speaker 1>She was our little gymnast for sure. So they were

0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 1>just in there playing, having a gret fund a slumber

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:36.239
<v Speaker 1>party like that girl I always like, have it built

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on slumber parts. Yeah, they always think it's a sleepover.

0:50:38.320 --> 0:50:41.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and now it kind of breaks out to like, um,

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:45.759
<v Speaker 1>every family gets half of a bus, so like to bus. Yeah,

0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Like Kimberly's on the bus with the Westbrooks, So it's

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:51.359
<v Speaker 1>like the Schlapman's the Westbrooks are on one bus, but

0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like Kimberly has the bat calf and the Westbrooks at

0:50:54.160 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the front, and then they kind of share the lobby,

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:58.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, like the front room, you know, and then

0:50:58.520 --> 0:51:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Philip and I have a back of a bus, and

0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 1>then our tour managers out there and security and camera

0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:08.279
<v Speaker 1>guy and you know stuff that. Yeah. Yeah, and the

0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:11.520
<v Speaker 1>kids bounced between buses and you know, they think it's

0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:13.719
<v Speaker 1>all theirs. Yeah, I love this. They like bust have

0:51:13.760 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>been the sound check and they're like, we're here when

0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I grew up, I want to be a kid a

0:51:16.960 --> 0:51:20.839
<v Speaker 1>little bit time to that sounds like a lot of fun.

0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>It's super fun. They have a great time, and you know,

0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm thankful that Philip and Karen and Jimmy and Kimberly

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:31.200
<v Speaker 1>have created that environment for all of us and everyone

0:51:31.280 --> 0:51:35.480
<v Speaker 1>wants that same thing. Yeah, it's nice. It's really nice. Okay,

0:51:35.480 --> 0:51:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So how did all y'all's life's change when Girl Crush hit?

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Because that, like change the world, did change the world.

0:51:40.880 --> 0:51:43.240
<v Speaker 1>It was for me. This is what I love about

0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:45.200
<v Speaker 1>being a wife and being on this side is watching

0:51:45.280 --> 0:51:48.440
<v Speaker 1>something like that happen, especially to those four people, and

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:51.840
<v Speaker 1>but even the controversy that it caused, and then the

0:51:51.840 --> 0:51:54.640
<v Speaker 1>way that they handled it was just so amazing because

0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I would just be like, tell that person, you know,

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:00.520
<v Speaker 1>like I can't even believe that they can hear this,

0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:03.200
<v Speaker 1>or you know, no one can still believe that it

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:05.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't go to number one, number one, No, it died

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:08.600
<v Speaker 1>number two? Are you kidding me? But it's like the

0:52:08.640 --> 0:52:11.880
<v Speaker 1>most monster song. It broke a fifty three year sales

0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:16.480
<v Speaker 1>record and didn't go number one. But that's what I

0:52:16.520 --> 0:52:19.120
<v Speaker 1>love about Little Big Town is like, that's that, that's

0:52:19.160 --> 0:52:22.120
<v Speaker 1>so them. Everybody thinks Boondocks went number one and it

0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:24.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't know it went number nine. Really the same thing.

0:52:24.800 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 1>To Bring It On Home was the highest one until

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Pontoon and it was number four, so that was the

0:52:34.560 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 1>first number one. Pontoon was Wow, that's crazy. So I

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:42.320
<v Speaker 1>love I love the Little Big Town is that story.

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, like that they just keep going and they

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:48.400
<v Speaker 1>just keep pushing on. And they actually inspired me a

0:52:48.400 --> 0:52:50.040
<v Speaker 1>lot with Sweet Lady Jane in the way that I

0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:53.239
<v Speaker 1>run my blog and my business is just to be

0:52:53.320 --> 0:52:56.160
<v Speaker 1>patient and just to take the high road and you know,

0:52:56.280 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 1>just put your nose to the grind and when you

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:00.560
<v Speaker 1>look up, you're going to be some pressed and then

0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>just put it right back and just keep going, and

0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it's inspiring. They I am lucky to see how that

0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:11.600
<v Speaker 1>they run a well oiled machine. So it's yeah, yeah,

0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean they definitely yeah the high road for sure.

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean they always are just such great examples of

0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that I need to learn more about. No, you have

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think you though in your journey, the fact

0:53:22.680 --> 0:53:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that you are conquering your greatest fear and you are

0:53:26.640 --> 0:53:30.239
<v Speaker 1>being the most vulnerable, exposing the most vulnerable part of

0:53:30.239 --> 0:53:33.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself and putting it out there, which is an interesting feeling.

0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's like the scariest but the most free,

0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 1>right yeah, because you know, if you think about it,

0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.279
<v Speaker 1>we're judged every day by no matter who you are.

0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:44.640
<v Speaker 1>When you're walk into the grocery store, if you're in

0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:46.160
<v Speaker 1>your workout close, you know, somebody's like going at you

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like my hot cheese or work out close, you know,

0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:51.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's not any different. And I think when you

0:53:51.719 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 1>make it an even playing field in your mind, then

0:53:54.120 --> 0:53:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it becomes not so vulnerable and it just becomes like, well,

0:53:57.160 --> 0:53:59.640
<v Speaker 1>if that's their opinion, then they don't have to read it,

0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, like or if they love it, then they

0:54:02.120 --> 0:54:04.440
<v Speaker 1>can read it, you know, share with your friends and

0:54:04.480 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. So I really truly am out there

0:54:07.440 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to conquer a fear and to that your main goal,

0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to conquer your fear and to really like have something

0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of mine that was creative, my own creative space. You know,

0:54:16.360 --> 0:54:18.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll be one day is not going to be here

0:54:18.840 --> 0:54:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and not need me as much, you know, like in

0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that sense, and so I really wanted to have something

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that was mine for that reason. So like your outlet, Yeah,

0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:15.760
<v Speaker 1>country history, but like Nashville history. They've been their family

0:55:15.760 --> 0:55:19.279
<v Speaker 1>has been around, you know, for generations. So but they've

0:55:19.280 --> 0:55:21.560
<v Speaker 1>seen a lot. Okay, so there's some local storees inline

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:42.839
<v Speaker 1>want sweet Lady Jane to become bigger, you know, like

0:55:43.320 --> 0:55:47.040
<v Speaker 1>even with employees or even the reach and even what

0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing, not just I mean the basis of it

0:55:49.400 --> 0:55:52.440
<v Speaker 1>will always be the blog, but I really want to

0:55:52.480 --> 0:55:55.520
<v Speaker 1>expand into a jacket. I have an idea of her

0:55:55.600 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 1>jacket that kind of like a Pink Ladies jacket, Like

0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I would give you one and Karen one, and and

0:56:02.239 --> 0:56:04.839
<v Speaker 1>they all have HB on it. Oh my gosh, how

0:56:04.880 --> 0:56:08.160
<v Speaker 1>cool that? Which could be head, boss or head depending

0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:11.399
<v Speaker 1>on how you want to take For sure, I would

0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:13.840
<v Speaker 1>say head bitch, But what a great idea for a jacket.

0:56:14.080 --> 0:56:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Every woman would love that. Yeah, and kind of like

0:56:16.280 --> 0:56:19.480
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like my way of thanking them, but also

0:56:19.600 --> 0:56:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like kind of branching out into that world because I

0:56:22.200 --> 0:56:25.480
<v Speaker 1>love fashion too. I mean sometimes I have to google

0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:28.719
<v Speaker 1>how to pronounce the word, but I'm working on that.

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But I really do appreciate it. I mean it's artwork too,

0:56:32.000 --> 0:56:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's a creative space. And you know, Alexander McQueen

0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:37.440
<v Speaker 1>is one of my favorites just because of how dramatic

0:56:37.520 --> 0:56:41.480
<v Speaker 1>he is and his opposites of life and death and

0:56:41.520 --> 0:56:43.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that is kind of fascinating to me because

0:56:43.600 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>he just seems like a very interesting soul and you know,

0:56:47.480 --> 0:56:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like there's a lot, there was a lot going on

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>up there, you know, and you want to grow it,

0:56:51.760 --> 0:56:57.279
<v Speaker 1>grow it big worldwide, like yeah, and cocktail mixes, and

0:56:57.920 --> 0:57:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really just want to be a providing factor,

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:03.799
<v Speaker 1>not only for myself but for my family and be

0:57:03.880 --> 0:57:06.239
<v Speaker 1>inspiring to my daughter too, Like I want her to

0:57:06.280 --> 0:57:09.439
<v Speaker 1>feel like if she doesn't fit into this corporate world,

0:57:09.520 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that she can create her own space. And that's what

0:57:11.760 --> 0:57:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I had to do. So I'm creating my own space

0:57:14.160 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and I want to be successful in doing that, you know,

0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and I want to be like the female Richard Branson

0:57:18.720 --> 0:57:21.880
<v Speaker 1>or something amazing like that, see it, you know, And

0:57:22.040 --> 0:57:23.880
<v Speaker 1>this close to him sometimes I'm like trying to rub

0:57:23.920 --> 0:57:27.320
<v Speaker 1>them for good. Yeah I can, I can. I have

0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you met my husband? Kind of look like, my gosh,

0:57:31.240 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 1>she's gotten that before. It's really funny. That's funny. We

0:57:34.320 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>went to a party after the Grammys, um this past year.

0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I have tell the story because you'll crack up. So

0:57:39.920 --> 0:57:43.760
<v Speaker 1>our managers friends with UM Justin Bieber's manager, so we

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:45.560
<v Speaker 1>got invited to his after party. So we were all

0:57:45.640 --> 0:57:48.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, oh, this will be great people watching, right,

0:57:48.960 --> 0:57:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're just so not used to paparazzi being there,

0:57:52.840 --> 0:57:56.680
<v Speaker 1>right and like blinding. So I step out of the

0:57:56.680 --> 0:57:59.240
<v Speaker 1>car and they're kind of like who's this, you know,

0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And and Philip gets out and they're like Wichard parents

0:58:01.760 --> 0:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and Gradid parents and and we just all started busting

0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:08.680
<v Speaker 1>out laughing. And you're like he's like, hey, thank you, yes,

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:12.080
<v Speaker 1>put my tab on his tub, send him the bill.

0:58:12.760 --> 0:58:15.680
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious. Oh my god, it was funny. It was

0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:17.640
<v Speaker 1>quite funny. You know. They're just trying to get a reaction,

0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and half of those coopers who don't even know who

0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:23.560
<v Speaker 1>who anybody is anyways, they're just snapping, you know, they're

0:58:23.600 --> 0:58:27.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to get a bite. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of funny. Okay,

0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:29.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna wrap up everything else. I missed that.

0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:31.640
<v Speaker 1>We need to talk about anything else. You want to,

0:58:31.680 --> 0:58:35.040
<v Speaker 1>like talk about sweet Lady Jane or what I'm what's

0:58:35.080 --> 0:58:37.200
<v Speaker 1>going on. I love your stuff too, It's so fun

0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and it's so perfect. I love your name too, it's

0:58:39.320 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 1>so eye catching and thanks so perfect. Well, I think

0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that's why I like I'm drawn to you because I

0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:46.240
<v Speaker 1>love that you're just like an innovator and you're just

0:58:46.280 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>doing your own thing and you're putting yourself out there,

0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:50.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's a little scary to do that. Like when

0:58:50.560 --> 0:58:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I started this podcast, I was a little nerve wracking

0:58:52.440 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's like what everyone thinks, I'm stupid, No, but

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:56.959
<v Speaker 1>you're not. You're so entertaining. That's what I love about

0:58:56.960 --> 0:59:00.600
<v Speaker 1>it too. And the people that you've interviewed, You've gotten

0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:03.200
<v Speaker 1>this great stuff out of them, and your questions are

0:59:03.280 --> 0:59:06.000
<v Speaker 1>very thoughtful and I love it. This was fun. Anytime

0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to come hang out with me, you are

0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:10.160
<v Speaker 1>always welcome. Girl. Well, I love hanging out with you. Well,

0:59:10.160 --> 0:59:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you're so inspiring, and that's the kind of people like

0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to interview, are people who are inspiring the world, because

0:59:16.280 --> 0:59:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what needs to be heard and seeing more of it.

0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope that that's the goal to you know, it's

0:59:22.120 --> 0:59:25.720
<v Speaker 1>just to be inspiring to Penelope and other people out

0:59:25.760 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 1>there who might have a challenge, even if it's not dyslexia.

0:59:28.680 --> 0:59:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I encourage you to explore it and figure

0:59:31.160 --> 0:59:33.200
<v Speaker 1>out and don't be scared of it. You look, you's

0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:35.640
<v Speaker 1>right in the eyes. And this is the scariest thing

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:38.000
<v Speaker 1>part of my life. And I'm going to expose it

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to everyone because I'm an intelligent human being and I

0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:43.560
<v Speaker 1>will fix this. You know. That just inspires me to know.

0:59:43.680 --> 0:59:45.400
<v Speaker 1>In so and there's a will, there's a will, there's

0:59:45.400 --> 0:59:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a way. You don't face it, you can't fix it,

0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:52.200
<v Speaker 1>so you know, and it will chase you, it will forever,

0:59:52.360 --> 0:59:54.120
<v Speaker 1>it will. It will chase you until you look at

0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it in the eyeball. And now I don't feel so,

0:59:56.600 --> 0:59:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I kept going back to college, kept going

0:59:58.120 --> 1:00:00.400
<v Speaker 1>back to college and trying to get that agree. And

1:00:00.480 --> 1:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>now that doesn't mean as much to me as before,

1:00:03.680 --> 1:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>because now I feel like I've conquered what we're trying

1:00:06.680 --> 1:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to do with college exactly. Like I'm still learning and

1:00:10.040 --> 1:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm still reading books and educating myself. So I'm okay

1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>with not having that piece of paper, you know. Yeah,

1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So I like to wrap up with leave your Light.

1:00:18.840 --> 1:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So just give me some inspiration. How you have been inspired,

1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>how you inspire people, like just leave light? I like that.

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I like leave light. Um, so I would encourage people, yeah,

1:00:32.080 --> 1:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to face their demon and follow their dreams. And you

1:00:36.040 --> 1:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, we live in a great country where you

1:00:37.800 --> 1:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>can do that. You're the only person stopping you is you.

1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, Philip is a great example of that. Little

1:00:43.400 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>big towns a great example of that. Great example of

1:00:45.680 --> 1:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you are too. I mean you grew up in the industry,

1:00:47.920 --> 1:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>in the music industry too, and you know, to do

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>something that's so amazing you and yours and it feels

1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>good to tip of your life. Yeah, and it's authentic

1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to you. And so I just encourage people to do that.

1:01:00.800 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And dreams do come true, you just have to follow them. Yeah,

1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>stay at it. When it gets doesn't mean it will

1:01:06.960 --> 1:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>be easy. It won't be and it won't be, but

1:01:10.560 --> 1:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be worth it. If it was, it wouldn't

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>be fun. You know, I think you're the most perfect

1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:19.600

<v Speaker 1>got to have a chance to interview her. She's such

1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>an incredible woman and she's doing so many incredible things.

1:02:15.600 --> 1:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Make sure to check out her blog, Sweet Lady Jane,

1:02:17.520 --> 1:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it's so good. Next week I have Stormy Warren joining me.

1:02:22.920 --> 1:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>This dude is incredible. I was so star struck the

1:02:27.240 --> 1:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>first time I met him ten years ago and Key

1:02:29.000 --> 1:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>West at a songwriter festival because I grew up watching

1:02:32.120 --> 1:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>him on G A C. To me, he was like

1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the face of country music. He introduced every music video.

1:02:36.960 --> 1:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>He was all over Nashville, he was all over G

1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>A C. And it was kind of surreal when I

1:02:41.560 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>met him. And it's crazy because now he's been a

1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>friend to me for about ten years and he's always

1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>been the kindest person. He's offered me so much wisdom

1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>about how to grow my hosting career, tips on how

1:02:52.600 --> 1:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a better host, he shared his story, and

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just a real big privilege and honor for me
