It's never really that comfortable. So I 26 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: was looking forward to getting comfortable in your chair at 27 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: your home, man and chatting with you. It's a thunderstorming 28 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: outside too, so the ambiance is there. Juice story, So 29 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: all I know is about I better go, Jake since 30 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: me at Texas. Hey, I'm coming over. Yeah, I'm gonna 31 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: stop and get you some men. You know, no good fruit? 32 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Do you like grapefruit juice? And I reply back, not really, 33 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: but do you mean quote grapefruit juice? Because then not really, 34 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: which was funny. But see what my mom raised me. 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: When you go to someone's home, uh you know, it's 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: like nice to take a gift. And I was like, well, 37 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: you're a healthy guy, and I like juices, and I 38 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: had to go there anyways, garps and juice today. I 39 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: thought you'd like some juice. I like grapefruit juice just 40 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: be I'm a Florida guy, like that citrus. But they 41 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: sometimes a grape frutjuice can get a little acidic, so 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: they throw that mint in there. To offset it. They 43 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: make them in a nice craft, so I had her 44 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: make a grapefruit have they She said, you have not 45 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: tried charcoal water, which I highly recommend. Wait, who said, 46 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: how does somebody know what I've had? Uh, well, there's 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: a girl there that owns the place, and I guess 48 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: not at a few other people have gone there before 49 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: and picked you up some juices. And I said, have 50 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: you ever had has he ever taken some of the 51 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: charcoal water? She said, I don't think he has. So 52 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: I had you a thing of mint charcoal water, and 53 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: then cash you milk, which is great. I'm not sure 54 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: if you're a cash you guy, but I figured to 55 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: give you a different choice. And where are all these toys? 56 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: It's like, you know I was gonna get you for Christmas? 57 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: We no, no, But here's the this is the thing, man. 58 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: And I thought about like making up an excuse as 59 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: to like why could and then I'm like, this is 60 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: the honest truth. So I called her that's upset it 61 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: all up? Was ready to go there today. Well, my dog, 62 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: I thought, ran off because I was in the studio 63 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: doing some singing in my house and I looked everywhere 64 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: for him. Gotten drove down the road was screaming, and uh, 65 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: he was locked in my bathroom downstairs in the in 66 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: the garage. She locked himself in there, which I never 67 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: looked in there. So I searched for an hour, so 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: I was behind time at this point. Then I literally 69 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: can't find my wallet, so there was no way I 70 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: could go to the place and actually pay for the juices. 71 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: But couldn't you as Jay Going, the guy they know, 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: the country star, say hey, let me just put this 73 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: on my and I don't expect you to do it, 74 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying no. I thought about that, but 75 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's even weirder than just being honestly. 76 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: They're telling you that I can't find I mean right 77 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna be honest, like it's a weird 78 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: feeling not knowing where your wallet is. Oh, you don't 79 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: know what what it right now. I've looked forward for like 80 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: a day. You'll find it, you know what I mean. 81 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: But when I find it, I'll get you some you 82 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: know what's gonna be a day though, is over the 83 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: threshold of you'll find it. Yeah, But I checked my 84 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: debit card and there's been no activity. I don't think 85 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: it's stolen, but if you go over a day, it 86 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: means it's somewhere. It's it's out of your normal circle 87 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: of cycle, right, so it's hard to just stumble upon 88 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: it again unless you remember where you went. I just 89 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: constantly I am losing losing things. I've told people for 90 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: a long time, Like I literally a lot of times 91 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't don't know where my keys are, I lose 92 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: my wallet, but I can remember everywhere, Like on the 93 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: way over here, Snoop Dog, What's my Name? Came on 94 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: on on random Shuffle and my iTunes and I was 95 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: just singing every word. And it's odd that you can 96 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: remember things like that, but you can't remember where to 97 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: put your wallet in the same place every time you 98 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: come home. I'm the opposite. I can't remember a lyric 99 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: to say in my life, but you have. You're meticulous 100 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: about facts, and it's not even. I don't lose things, 101 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: and when I do, I know where I lost them, 102 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: Like I can go, oh, you know what, I lost 103 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: my keys? Where would I have lost my keys? And 104 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: I can go right to them without no one can't 105 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: do that. It's weird. Get parts of the brain, Yeah, 106 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: but it's odd. I can remember things back when I 107 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: was a kid, I mean, like detailed things, and my 108 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: mom even to this dale say like, how do you 109 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: remember that? I don't know. Isn't a funny remember phone 110 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: numbers though, like as a kid, like I remember my 111 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: best friends phone number. You don't have his parents might 112 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: do that. Okay, well still somebody has that number, probably um, 113 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: but yeah, I remember all. We don't have to though. 114 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Now I don't know directions for the most part, because 115 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: I have a GPS in my car, and it's like 116 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how to get places because I usually 117 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: just let it take me. It's the world. The world's 118 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: getting too easy, and when it all goes down like 119 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Walking Dead style, We're all gonna be really screwed. It's 120 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: the people that remained think it's down like that. Of 121 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: course I love those shows because I would love for 122 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: the world to end while I'm on it. Are you 123 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: one of those people? I didn't see a bumper stick 124 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: around your car down there? Zombie like zombie? Nope? All 125 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: I think this is what I hope. I hope the 126 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: world ends while I'm here. Why because think about how 127 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: many Yeah, it would be awesome. No, think about how 128 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: lucky you would be it's like palm trees and sunshine 129 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and that's cool and you're gonna 130 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: to experience that right now. But think about how many 131 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: people did not get to experience into the world. All 132 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: the people didn't get to experience that. You get to 133 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: experience the final We're gonna die anyway, Like we're just 134 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: a bullying in the earth time just I mean not 135 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: even a blink. What it's like this goodbye in that 136 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: one blink you get lucky enough in that one blink 137 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: of a twenty four hour cycle. I don't know if 138 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: I want to see that, Like already I'm paranoid right now, 139 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: I can't find my wallet. It's the challenge I thought of, 140 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: like the world ending is is that that does lots 141 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: to me. I'm fascinated annoying, where like I don't want 142 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: that's that's that is the thing to her to have 143 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: a full, beautiful life that she hasn't had yet. So 144 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: but think about the real competition that it is. Think 145 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: about the competition to be just to live, like I 146 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: live for competition all sorts, like oh I love it, 147 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Like that's the ultimate competition, the struggle for life against 148 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: everyone all the time, and I would love to be 149 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: a part of it. So you want to be a 150 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: part of like last Man Standing of life. If it's 151 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: a game show, I'm like, who cares? I mean, I'd 152 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: like to win it, like to win the extra money. 153 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: They'll be fine. You want to be the last guy 154 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: on earth? I want to be one of the guys 155 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: running a village. It's like dominant eating Really. Oh that 156 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: that thrills me. I mean, I get I like that 157 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: you're honest about that. I would love it. I mean, like, 158 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: I've never thought of it that way. If I have 159 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: to I eat, I eat a human in a second. 160 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: I just know that I want to win, and I 161 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: want to win everything that I do. And that's the 162 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: ultimate no no, But that's the ultimate competition. We're basically animals. 163 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: We've been were domesticated very much. So imagine we're not anymore. 164 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, GPS, no cell phone, it's off, 165 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: no power. Can you imagine what we would turn into animals?

I might not be the strongest, 168 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: but let's see how smart I really am? Oh man, 169 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: I would love it. I've had many conversations about this. 170 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: That's that's like my fantasy is the end of the 171 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: world and I'm here because we have different fantasies. Man, 172 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: we do. We're messed up in different ways. Um, I'm 173 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: drinking amano as water because I didn't get anything. Do 174 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: you mind telling me a little bit of like amino 175 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: acids for a second. Yeah, because I don't sleep well. 176 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: They help with sleeping. They Yeah. Basically from what I've 177 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: learned and listen, every single fitness person I've ever met 178 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: in my life has different theories on every single thing. 179 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: You kind of collect what you believe and you kind 180 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: of read science a bit and didn't do what work 181 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: you and you find what works with your body. It's 182 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: also with people and weight and muscle. Everybody's different. There 183 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: just isn't an answer to how to get skinny or 184 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: how to get but what what does amino acids do? Really? 185 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: As opposed to like I guess, you're depleting them while 186 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: you're working out, so you're just adding them back into 187 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 1: your system basically, and it's nothing where it's making me 188 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: any better. It's just trying to help all the suck 189 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: because it's I suck. Because I don't sleep. I feel 190 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: like you need sleep. Man. It's the single most important thing. 191 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: Like it literally is more than working out in order. 192 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: It's sleep, eating good and working out. How many hours 193 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: of sleep you get heda you think like it'll be 194 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: this is my issue. Tell me be in bed tonight. 195 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of riding my second book, so 196 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: I'll have to write. And this is one of the 197 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: Bobby Cast. It takes my days and makes them later. 198 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: So where I would probably start writing right now and 199 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: write for ninety minutes of two hours, I won't start 200 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: until seven.

I don't care about me. Why 215 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm talking about me? What do you do for fun? Man? Now? 216 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't you know? I'm staying in the shower. Let 217 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: me tell you get a conste you have to talk 218 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: about you don't? Yeah, I don't. I don't like talk 219 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: about me really it, which is weird because I talk 220 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: all the time, but I do it. I feel like 221 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: a couple of I feel like you talk about yourself 222 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 1: all the time, but you talk about it in a 223 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: way I like it. That's exactly. I haven't liked to 224 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: control compliments because I don't feel comfortable getting complimented. So 225 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm much better. Do you like the feeling of? And 226 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: then we'll get off you talk to you? But do 227 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: you like the feeling of? Because there is also a 228 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: very satisfying feeling, which I think that's what us as 229 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: entertainers like, of almost knowing that you could fail, but 230 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: the feeling of not failing is so gratifying, like, for instance, 231 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: like like, do you know when you walk out there 232 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: in any crowd you're gonna do you know that you're 233 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna crush it? Are you? Like there's a chance that 234 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: they might not like my jokes? But I think by 235 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: going i'm your competitor. You said, I'm gonna go into 236 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: it thinking I'm gonna crush this audience. But like, does 237 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: it make you uncomfortable if it like if you're out 238 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: there and it's not. If I'm not uncomfortable, it's not 239 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: fun to me exactly. So I go out and what 240 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I do, and what I've been doing is working this material. 241 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: And the thing about stand up is you go out. 242 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: You I can't sit and practice it in my room. 243 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: It's like not like playing guitar. If I'm gonna write 244 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: a funny song, I play a funny song, I practice it. 245 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: You know, fcg you know, do my little chords, play 246 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: a little whatever. You have to go out and do 247 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: jokes in front of people, and you have to fail 248 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: a few times before it works. So if I'm not 249 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: in every set, I've got some brand new stuff I'm 250 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: gonna try. And I'm always a little bit nervous about 251 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: that new stuff because I know some of it's going 252 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: to bomb hard, and it's so exciting to me to fail. 253 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: Oh I love it. I love it so much like it. 254 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: That's the most thrilling thing to me is making yourself 255 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: completely vulnerable on stage to bombing your brains out, Which 256 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: is weird because it's such a juxtaposition of my life 257 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: where I have I do not have the ability to 258 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: be vulnerable to humans, but I I search for love 259 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: on stage from a crowd that I know no one 260 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: but in real alive. I for some reason, I've not 261 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: been good at accepting love. So I think that's being 262 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to change it a bit. And it's 263 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: tough because I don't think I don't do good at 264 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: letting people in. Ever. Hey man a buddy of mine. 265 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: He's a great songwriter. Speaking of songwriters, um, and his 266 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: name is Jared Mullins. He wrote this new and this 267 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: isn't a plug of my new single or anything, but 268 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: he's a great guy and we were talking. We always 269 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: talked about this, and I gotta He gave me this 270 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: book that I'm gonna I gotta get the name of 271 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: it and get it your way, just just you should 272 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: read it. Though I can't think of the name off 273 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: the top of my head. I started reading It's amazing, 274 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: And that's why he read it, because he's like, man, 275 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: it's a book about this guy as a comedian, and 276 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: he hadn't because his life was all about being funny 277 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: and and being that guy. He never found the other 278 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: true side of who he was because he felt like 279 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: he was always a character. See, I feel the opposite. 280 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: I became someone who was funny because I didn't have 281 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: that other I didn't start out as the character. I 282 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: couldn't find the other one. I couldn't find the other one. 283 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: So I'm not a character. Well I'm not saying, I'm 284 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: just saying, but yeah, interesting wondering like what if you 285 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: am I to someone else? You know what I mean? 286 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Not that it matters, but this is deep today. It's 287 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: what we do. You do the same thing, Like why 288 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: in the world do we try to get on and 289 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: I get on the radio and try to do my 290 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: little performance?

But's it, Let's 336 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: see how good this goes for ten minutes and it 337 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: sucked and that was it and they got better that's cool, 338 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: and then didn't and you know, things miss and I 339 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: love it when they don't. I love it when what 340 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: was the weirdest show? Who was terrible? Was there anything bad? 341 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: You think? Like?

I don't worry about reviews because 344 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: I feel like we're regardless, it's gonna be bad. I 345 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: feel like everybody dislikes me, just generally in the world, 346 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: and I have to convince every person to like me 347 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: because everyone likes here. But this is how I feel 348 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: that everyone dislikes me because I've grown up being different 349 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: than everybody else. Was the poorest kid. I was a 350 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: white kid in a black neighborhood. I was the dirty kid. 351 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: I was the southern accident kid trying to be on 352 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: the radio that you should have never been on pop stations. 353 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: And I got a country and all of a sudden, 354 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't country enough, when I'd always been to country, 355 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: and when a cowboy had I was. I've never ever 356 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: been in a place where I've been the liked person, 357 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: so I've always felt like the guy that's fighting. That's 358 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: just punching underwater. And so like my whole life, and 359 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: so it's built into me that nobody likes me ever, 360 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: and so I have to convince people like one one one, 361 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: And I know I walked a room and it's not true. 362 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: And I know, like my brain says it's not true, 363 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: but my heart says it is. I walked into the room. 364 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Everybody hates me and I have and I know that. 365 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Like when I say those words, it sounds stupid, logically stupid, 366 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: but that's how I feel because it's just how it's 367 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: been my whole life. They do. But I'm also nuts 368 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: and I have. I know that, and that's okay, and 369 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: that's that's okay.

Well, I'll tell you, dude, 582 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: I've been really, really successful in my life, and a 583 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: lot of it is because, yeah, I worked at it, 584 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: but a lot of it is because I was really 585 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: lucky to be there to the right time, worked and 586 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: got in the right spot. This is different philosophies because 587 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: I'm the minority philosophy on this, and I understand that 588 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: that's probably why I'm miserable. So you're not happy. You 589 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: just said miserable.

So are you 595 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: a glass half empty or half full kind of guy? 596 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm I don't. I want the glass to stay together 597 00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: and not break. Yeah, that's it. I don't care. I'm 598 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: to waters in there like I want to keep what 599 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: I got because I don't think it's it's such just 600 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: like it would work on my job. But I don't 601 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: think it's gonna last. I don't think this is gonna last. 602 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: You think I don't. I just don't. So everything that 603 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: I have, I put it all into it, and I 604 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: go save all the money again, do everything again, because 605 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: it isn't gonna last forever. And when it's not, you 606 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: know it's not, then it doesn't. I'm not. I'm not 607 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: a pessimist, though, I believe you can work and achieve whatever. 608 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: If it's physically possible, you can do it. You can't 609 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: talk a basketball from four ft one. So I say, 610 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: physically possible, you can't run up. There are people that 611 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: are born, so let's remove that part of it. But 612 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: if it's if it's physically possible, I believe you can 613 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: work and will your way to it, regardless of what 614 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: it is. I think if I want to be the 615 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: president United States, I could be the president United States. 616 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm a kid too, grew up in a town of 617 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: seven hundred people in Mountain Pine, Arkansas. No my family 618 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: graduate High school, Mchlas College. But I could be the 619 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: president United States. I think you can if you wanted that. 620 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: It may take me a long time. You may take 621 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: me thirty or forty years, but I think I could 622 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: do it. I think anybody can. Yeah, that's yeah, that's 623 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: like dream big. You know. I believe in that philosophy, 624 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: and I believe that you working work to do mostly anything. 625 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. There's things against you as 626 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: a human. It's just will make it physically impossible. Well 627 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: I said physical that was my only rule. But outside 628 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: of that, I believe you can do anything. I think 629 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: people can, and they underestimate themselves so much like people 630 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: go I was, you know, this is my area code 631 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: is my zip code. This is what I was told 632 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I need to do. There's there are no rules. There 633 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: just aren't rules in life. Even in music, there aren't rules. 634 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: And you know who comes along. It makes a difference 635 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: to people that goes that these aren't rules. Let me 636 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: go do it this way, and most of them fail. 637 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: But the ones that hit boom, they are home run hitters. 638 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: They make the new rules for everybody else. And let's 639 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: say you fail. Let's say you fail, you fell miserably, Okay, 640 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: come back again, swing again, keep swinging until you hit. Yeah, 641 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: and don't stop swinging until you hit. Eventually you can't hit, 642 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: that's why I believe. And once you hit, you're probably 643 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: gonna strike out again. That's how you strike out is 644 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: because you have the nuts to go and try exactly. 645 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: So I love anyway. I love to fail. That's like 646 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: I love it. It's not fun right when it's happening, 647 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: but it's awesome too succeed a loss. But that's why 648 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: I was like, like, I was, like, where you been? 649 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: It's so I've been just yeah, because your Fay keeping 650 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: that glass, your famious Jake going though, so people expect 651 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: famish Chack going to be out being famishack going, and 652 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: so I got a lot of stuff that's not famish, 653 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: take going stuff like you're running, you're doing business stuff. Yeah, well, 654 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: like you said, I mean I think a lot of it. 655 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: Like you said, there, it's like keeping the glass together. 656 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of stuff going on, which keeps 657 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: me making sure I'm one of these guys that can't 658 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: just sit back and do that. Well that's cool, that's happening. 659 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm always wanting to be involved in it, and so 660 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: it's trying to make sure that I'm that I'm in 661 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: all places while still compartmentalizing each one in order to 662 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: have a day to day life. Is is interesting because 663 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: I didn't getting back to I said, like, I didn't 664 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: learn that in school as like a business guy or something. 665 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: I've just kind of had to learn this over the years. 666 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: So I've been, uh doing that. I've been making some 667 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: new music. I, um, what if that you making new music? Like, 668 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: are you working on another record? Um? Not necessarily, I 669 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: don't think. I'm just I had this idea based off 670 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: of the way that I've I've seen music being consumed 671 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: these days that um, people, when you're lucky enough use 672 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: that word luck or worked hard enough to the point 673 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: where people are admiring what you're doing, it's important to 674 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: continue to feed them. And I feel that in a 675 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: way that the music business UM can sometimes be antiquated 676 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: in the way that they're let they're allowing the music 677 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: to come out, especially country music. It's the worst format ever. 678 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: Well yeah, for for music and for for the way 679 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 1: as fast as people are able to concern it. So 680 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: I I'm been doing all I can for people out 681 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: there that love my music to give them as much 682 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: as I can, you know. And and uh, if I 683 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: have a song or I have an idea of something 684 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to, I don't think just because I have 685 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: a single on the radio. My theory is this, it 686 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: is because there's a song on the radio that's that's 687 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: being pushed by the label, and we're selling the album 688 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: that by putting out another song on iTunes or out 689 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: there on sound whatever, giving people something else to chew 690 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: on UM only makes some like this a little bit 691 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: more because it's something else that makes this more viable. 692 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: And uh, instead of the thought that this is cannibalizing 693 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: this does that make sense? Like future at least an album? 694 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: So here's a good example of what you're talking about. 695 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: And by the way, I agree with you completely, and 696 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: I think the putting out twelve songs that once album 697 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: idea is awful now I think it's I mean, look 698 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: at look what what John Are did. First of all, 699 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was brilliant. We had time to do 700 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: with the two different waves of three and but we 701 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: had time with each of them. But in our formats, 702 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: like you have to put out a hard c D 703 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: because it still hard, but we got about the hard 704 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: album and twelve at once, like having two quarterbacks. Even 705 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: if you got two great quarterbacks, you got a bunch 706 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: of great songs. People aren't really going to get to 707 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: love all of them because it's all at once, always 708 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: compared to like there's always three times a day. Yeah, 709 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: I agree, but there's a lot about it too that's 710 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: always sketchy, because there's a lot about I think one 711 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: reason music has become somewhat disposable sometimes and I think 712 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: you probably feel this way, Like I love music, I'll 713 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: fall in love with music some certain new song or something, 714 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: and then because music is so accessible now and iTunes 715 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: or Spotify or whatever'll have the newest latest what's happening, 716 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: like I'll listen to that one day and no matter 717 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: and don't get me wrong, what's great will always be great. 718 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: But sometimes because of it, there's so much distraction that 719 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: it's hard to continually focus back to one. And I 720 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: think maybe that's why to like a lot of sales 721 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: have declined a little bit, because the more you're giving people, 722 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: the more that they can't just be focused on that 723 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: one album or that one thing and hope for the 724 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: next thing. I have a niche theory when it comes 725 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: to people trying to make it in the creative world. 726 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: Now everybody wants to be super famous, right everybody. I 727 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: want to be super famous. I want to have everybody 728 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: loved me. I want to hit a hundred percent of 729 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: the historical That's virtually impossible now it's and it's getting 730 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: even more impossible because of the distractions. And it's not 731 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: they're not distractions. They're just a part of the world 732 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: now right there. It's just every day we think their 733 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: distractions because we're our thirties and we didn't have them 734 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: ten years ago. To someone who's eighteen, not distractions, it's 735 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: every day. So you can get more out of focusing 736 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: on your eight percent and super serving them. Then you 737 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: can get out of trying to give a hundred percent 738 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: and be super famous. And if you focus on your 739 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: eight to ten percent and give them exactly what they want, 740 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: you were going to be so much more successful than 741 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: if you give a hundred percent. This little a little bite. 742 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: You gotta get in where you fit in and hit 743 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: it and stay true to whoever you are. Well, it's 744 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because that's really what I 745 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: what I've been doing, um with my music. I mean, 746 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: these songs that I've been working on. I finally realize 747 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: it's funny. Um. I released my last single that was 748 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: on the radios called if He Ain't Gonna Love You. 749 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: It had Chris Stapleton on it, uh singing backgrounds, and 750 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: uh it was something that I really loved. I love 751 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,439 Speaker 1: that song. Um, but I think it's so different from 752 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: like this coastal field that people have come to enjoy 753 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: for me. Uh, there it is you here Christens back. Anyways, 754 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: I think even label wise people that are behind me 755 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: at the time, like you know, they'd be lying or 756 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: any of us be lying to say that, you know, 757 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: as well as Chris is doing right now, as well 758 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: as we've known at greatest singers he is for as 759 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: long as we have. It would be great to have 760 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: him on a song with us and put it out, 761 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: but with as great as his voice is, as great 762 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 1: as that song might be, Um, it's not really what 763 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: people see me for and see me as, and I 764 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: think it's an artist for the For a long time now, 765 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: I've I've honestly battled like what I really am and 766 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: kind of what I want to be and and trying 767 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: to do all of it as opposed to do what 768 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: you just said, doing what I'm good at and just 769 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: and and giving that to the people that love it 770 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: instead of trying to appease to everyone. And so I've 771 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: even noticed it with my show, the way that are 772 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: like it's so it's started to get so much more 773 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: honed back into the way that I grew up being 774 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: from Florida. The songs. I loved being in a riverside 775 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: cafe and seeing this band called the land Sharks come 776 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: play when I was a kid, Like they played Jimmy 777 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: Buffett songs and it was like really kind of cool 778 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: at reggae field mixed with all it was just it 779 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: was great. And I've noticed that now that my show 780 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: and my set and my songs, this new single good company, 781 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: like everything feel is like me, which makes me happier. 782 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm trying to do something that's 783 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: not comfortable. I'm gonna play some of this. This is 784 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: a good company here happy. But I hear that, did 785 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: you let somebody talk you out of being you? Um? No? 786 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: You know what I can honestly say, and I'm not 787 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: one of the I love people's opinions. I respect everyone 788 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: I work with and always have. Um that that just 789 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: factually can't be true. You can't respect everybody work with 790 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: and you always have. I respect their opinions. I don't 791 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: have to say I respect them as a person and 792 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: some of the things they may have done before. But like, 793 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: I respect their opinion. I think I think it's in 794 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: order to do good business, and and that's what this 795 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: is at the end of the day. I mean, I 796 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: can sit there and say, oh, I'm an orders, I'm 797 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: gonna do it my way, it's only my way or whatever, 798 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: but that'd be bad business, you know what I mean 799 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: for me, So in order for me to do good 800 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: business with people that I'm in business with, I respect 801 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: their opinion and so yeah, there were times where their 802 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: their opinions were different than mine. Um. And then there 803 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: were times that mine was different than theirs. And I 804 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: was wrong. I mean there were times I was wrong. 805 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: Like I released Days of Gold as a single, UM 806 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: and it went it It went like fifteen. And this 807 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: was after I had like four straight number ones in 808 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: a row. UM.

And uh and and 992 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,320 Speaker 1: it fulfills me. You know. So you're looking at you 993 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: like very deep. No, I'm listening to your words, that's why. Yeah, 994 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,879 Speaker 1: Like I'm genuinely listening and taking it in here. Well, 995 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 1: I've seen my parents. They've been married for thirty seven years, 996 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 1: and I remember when I was a kid man my dad, 997 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: who loves my mom more than anything. But like I 998 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: see where I get this like like just angst sometimes 999 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: and like because my dad was the same way, and 1000 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: he would come home and he'd be like, Mitzi, you know, 1001 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: why did you spend this amount of money at the 1002 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: grocery store? You know, And like he could have come 1003 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: home and been like, hey, guys, how are you you know, 1004 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: but like that wasn't my dad's demeanor, Like he had 1005 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: probably got a high bill or something at the office. 1006 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: And after working all day, I came home and that's 1007 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: how we'd start the day after my mom had been 1008 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: cooking dinner all like half the night, because we'd have 1009 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: dinner every night around the table. Like I was lucky man, 1010 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: using the word lucky. And I feel that way, like 1011 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: I was likely to be born into a family where 1012 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,880 Speaker 1: I could sit there at night with my twin brother 1013 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: and my mom and dad and talk about life and 1014 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: what we did at school and stuff. But I get 1015 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,439 Speaker 1: a lot of that from my dad, of like where 1016 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: he just gets this like what you know, my mom 1017 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:40,799 Speaker 1: be like, I had to buy a groceries to cook 1018 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: this food that we're gonna eat right now that I've 1019 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: been making for you all day. And then so there's 1020 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: like this and my mom always said in relationships, it's 1021 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: not fifty fifty, Like relationships are not fifty fifty. She's like, 1022 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: there were days where your dad gave literally two and 1023 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: I have to give N's interesting, and that's true. I 1024 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 1: never thought of it like that. You're that's absolutely right. 1025 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: And she's like the effort. And then she's like, then 1026 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: there's days where I give of care and your dad 1027 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: had to get he knew it, and he had to 1028 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,280 Speaker 1: give me eighty. She's like it was finding that balance. 1029 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: And and and they're right because I watched my parents 1030 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: and they love each other more than anything, but I've 1031 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,879 Speaker 1: watched them getting all out, like you know, matches of 1032 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: of not you know, disrespectful, but just yelling at each 1033 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: other like people do. And and and that's the thing. 1034 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 1: Like I've also learned too, and I'm feeling more comfortable 1035 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 1: in my life and career now talking about the reality 1036 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: of the things that happened, as opposed to trying to 1037 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: pretend like it's things aren't real, you know, you know, 1038 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,799 Speaker 1: it's it's odd you mentioned the thing, because it's like 1039 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 1: I never thought of it like that. And it seems 1040 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: like every time I do want to, somebody says something 1041 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,720 Speaker 1: and I'll give you an example coming for a second. 1042 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 1: But it's more like it is fifty over a relationship, 1043 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 1: but not over a day or a week or a month, 1044 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 1: because then maybe one day, maybe the next day, yeah, 1045 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: it may eighties, but it's not fifty. But in the 1046 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,359 Speaker 1: end it kind of has to be over the long term. 1047 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 1: It just switches. It's like it watches its sum. It 1048 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 1: averages out. I guess is the way the wait just 1049 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: the averages out. It's pretty good. I'm I'm a I'm 1050 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: a I'm a convert right now because here I'll tell 1051 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: you I was talking to Ross Cooperman and man, we 1052 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: were talking about you know, we had a really good 1053 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: talk and he's coming to the Standard Show Saturday. Just 1054 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: talked to him and we were just you know, you 1055 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: kind of get lost in these conversations and didn't feel 1056 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: like this microphone in front of you for a while. 1057 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: And we're talking about songs, and I'm just so interested 1058 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: in the songwriter part of it for me, Like that's 1059 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 1: why I started this thing, Like I'm interested in songwriters 1060 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 1: and why they write songs, artists, artists or songwriter, songwriter, 1061 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: song I just want to know, like I want to 1062 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 1: put some light in a place that really there's not 1063 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: a lot of light shined on. And so I was like, 1064 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: so tell me you write these songs. These these guys 1065 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: take these huts that there aren't. There's like most artists, 1066 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: if it's fifty fifty or if it's sixty forty, they'll 1067 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: still go with their own song over another cut if 1068 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 1: if if it's close. And he was like, you're right, 1069 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: that does happen a lot, he said, but you know, 1070 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: here's what Kenny Chesney had told him. He said, you 1071 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 1: will sell more and merch if you have a hit 1072 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 1: it's not yours. Then if it's a great song, then 1073 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: if you have a good song, it is yours. The 1074 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: money you'll make. And he was like, that's what a 1075 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,240 Speaker 1: lot of artists. And again he's a songwriter who isn't 1076 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 1: and who's not on the radio. So you gotta understand 1077 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 1: what's coming from a bias agenda field place. We all 1078 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 1: are eye him. You are everybody is. But he was like, 1079 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 1: you know, that's what the new artists should know, and 1080 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 1: that's what artists should know, Like you should take outside 1081 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 1: song from songwriters, because here's Kenny Chesney, who I don't 1082 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: know that Chesney writes anything on his records anymore. Yeah, 1083 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't very little, ye so, but he's not. He doesn't. 1084 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to him. He wants to find great 1085 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: songs what's And that's why Kidney has always been great. 1086 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 1: He's found the greatest way possible of doing something, whether 1087 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 1: it be a song, whether it be a show, whether 1088 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 1: it be his body working out. Like the guy does 1089 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: everything to a high level, and he expects a high 1090 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: level of of everything and his music. He's written great 1091 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: songs that were number one hits. Uh, you know, I 1092 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: go back. He wrote that by himself. I think, um, 1093 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: but a lot like I've learned from him being on 1094 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,239 Speaker 1: the road as many as much as I was. Where 1095 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: he was like, Jake, you just gotta take what's the 1096 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: best song. And he's right because my first two albums 1097 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 1: I wrote every song everything, and uh, it wasn't until 1098 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 1: I recorded Barefoot Blue j Night and heard Eric Postley 1099 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: singing the demo on it. I was like, man, this 1100 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 1: sounds like me. And I didn't write it, but it 1101 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 1: sounds like me. I thought, was it tough for you 1102 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: to take an outside song for the first time and go, well, 1103 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 1: here's what a lot of people don't UM know either, 1104 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 1: Like when you come to town, when you're come to 1105 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: town and you're just a guy that just trying to 1106 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,360 Speaker 1: make it and be validated as a great Like I 1107 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: wanted people in time to be like, man, if you 1108 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: heard this j kid, he's a great singer, he's a 1109 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 1: great songwriter, he's a great all. I felt like in 1110 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: order to get that buzz happening, I had to write 1111 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: my own songs and write with other songwriters and show 1112 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: that I could that I could do that. But and 1113 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: I was also with a buddy of mine who was 1114 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 1: helping me. We were writing everything together, and I was 1115 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 1: being loyal to him, and um never realized that by 1116 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: reaching into this beautiful, deep well of songwriters that you 1117 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: can't have a hit that and people don't care.

You've 1139 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: got me out on the edge every time you call. 1140 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,880 Speaker 1: You know what he said originally in this in that line, 1141 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: no kidding, said you've got me running with scissors down 1142 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: the hall. Yeah, you know okay, and he said because 1143 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: he was right reading a book called running with Scissors, dude, 1144 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, no, that's terrible. I was like 1145 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: I can't know, and like I was like, I don't 1146 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: run with ever since my mom was like I was 1147 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,799 Speaker 1: a kid, my mom's like, don't run with scissors. Like, 1148 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,960 Speaker 1: and I understand the idea of it, but like, isn't 1149 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 1: it more of a metaphor? Now I'm not saying the 1150 00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: line was right now, like the line change, but it's 1151 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: in't a medapal run with scissors like it's a metaphor. Yeah, 1152 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 1: it's it is a metaphor, and I know it was 1153 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,359 Speaker 1: a metaphor. But there's also lines and songs like that's 1154 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: the thing getting back to taking outside songs. There's so 1155 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: many times I hear songs. I'm like I love it, 1156 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 1: love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, 1157 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: love it. What did you just say? I'm like, uh, 1158 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 1: And that one thing. It's kind of like, you know, 1159 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 1: people say they're not like vain or whatever, but you 1160 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: might be like super into a dude or a guy 1161 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 1: or whatever and be like I love everything about it. 1162 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's one like big Toe. It's just 1163 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 1: like and it turns you off. Right, I'm not saying 1164 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 1: I've ever done that. I'm just saying people people, people 1165 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: can be like particular about certain things, and that's how 1166 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: I am with songs. Like if I hear one thing 1167 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 1: that it'll throw me off, so I either have to 1168 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: rewrite it and then just say, hey, man, I'll cut 1169 00:55:58,080 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: this song. I just had to rewrite this one part. 1170 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: But that's why think I'll tell you I've never done 1171 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 1: You can ask Eric Passley this, and he talked about 1172 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:07,359 Speaker 1: it on this extensively. I cannot take credit on like, 1173 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 1: even if I write something within a song, since the 1174 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 1: song wasn't originally my idea. I can never feel comfortable 1175 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: taking credit for for that because they set me up 1176 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: for the home run I just and I didn't have 1177 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: anything to do with it. I'd rather give the credit 1178 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 1: back to the songwriter. That's where to do. Songwriters man 1179 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: or songwriters have made my I'm a songwriter, but these 1180 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 1: other songwriters in Nashville, Ross Coporman, I mean, he he 1181 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 1: produced and and it was a big part Shane of 1182 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: my last album. UM And without these types of guys 1183 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 1: like I wouldn't I wouldn't be where I am in 1184 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: my career, I wouldn't have the things I have in 1185 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,319 Speaker 1: my life, no way, absolutely not. So I always got 1186 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 1: to give that back to them. Yeah. Eric talked for 1187 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: a long time about how you came into that song 1188 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 1: and fixed it to be you a lot and didn't 1189 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 1: want any credit for it. Like he was like, it 1190 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: was kind of unbelievable that he came in did so 1191 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,359 Speaker 1: much rearranging of things that made it feel like your 1192 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: song and never asked for anything. You know, man, I 1193 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 1: just don't. I don't feel like it's right. Plus it 1194 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 1: will all come back around one day, you know, like 1195 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 1: I've always looked at it, like you do the right 1196 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: thing right, good things come back around.

But 1269 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 1: when you get to you said that before we used 1270 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: to be friends. Just when you get too sensitive, No, 1271 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: that's not true. That's what happened. One time. I got it. 1272 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: There's a few times. Once you bad mouth me in 1273 01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: a bar in Dallas to some listeners.

That's not a human being. And I can't 1398 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,440 Speaker 1: not be a human being because the only thing I 1399 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 1: have is to be real and sometimes people hate me 1400 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: sometimes like yeah, but like I get it.

Because I can't look at anything like 1404 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 1: anything all the time. Really, I went and I about 1405 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: two years ago, I was like, I started to feel 1406 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 1: like I'm going to push out a more positive and 1407 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 1: make a difference to more people's lives.

I think 1414 01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: it's great and I think you know this you have 1415 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: you know you have it, like you have an unbelievable 1416 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 1: influential power for people the same way they come to me, 1417 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: because they don't really know anything about you other than 1418 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: what you tell them every day on the show and 1419 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: this and that. So people come to me or any 1420 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: of us as artists will be like, hey, what's that 1421 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:20,280 Speaker 1: guy like because you're everywhere, but they kind of know 1422 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 1: who we're what we're like through you.

Probably can people do that? 1452 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: People that to me too. Yeah they fished and it happens. 1453 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 1: But you gave me a huge compliment and I appreciate that. 1454 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: What did I say that I'm human and I still 1455 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 1: get to come I come across this human on the 1456 01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,639 Speaker 1: air and flawed because if I don't, that sucks. Yeah, 1457 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: and I'm very flawed. And if I am not, then 1458 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,679 Speaker 1: again it's like I'm not doing my job. And sometimes 1459 01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: if I don't. If you have so much to say 1460 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 1: every day, dude, that it's got to be hard anyways 1461 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 1: to like here's the thing for me. The difference, Like 1462 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 1: I go on stage each day and play the songs 1463 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 1: they want to hear or whatever. And each night I 1464 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,679 Speaker 1: do different things that make the show individually different because 1465 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 1: and then there's people that come to the like the 1466 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: same people that come to the show. It's like you like, 1467 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: there's that that same thing. You have people every morning 1468 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: that listen, but like each day you can like you're 1469 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,519 Speaker 1: having to talk about so much stuff that you can't 1470 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:31,120 Speaker 1: always be can but that wouldn't be. That wouldn't be 1471 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: why people wouldn't tune into you. And I'm okay with 1472 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,400 Speaker 1: upsetting people as long as I'm upsetting them if I'm 1473 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,679 Speaker 1: being honest. And sometimes I go home and I hate 1474 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 1: myself and I go back on the other next day 1475 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 1: and I was like, God, I was such an idiot. 1476 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,759 Speaker 1: I should not have said that. Yeah, well that's maybe 1477 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: what That's what I If I've ever taken anything away 1478 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: from your show where I like, I would feel like, man, 1479 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 1: that's that's where that's where I would like, Lie, I've 1480 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 1: ever talked about about you on the show, I don't 1481 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 1: think so. No, not really, but I mean like, but no, 1482 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: not me.

I stayed up, dude 1535 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 1: all night thinking of a song that I could play 1536 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 1: on your show because I wanted it to be awesome 1537 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 1: because you have so many awesome people on there. But 1538 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,800 Speaker 1: I also knew too, Like like I was like, what 1539 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,640 Speaker 1: could I do to be cool cover? Because you know, 1540 01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,760 Speaker 1: you're like like hearing like a chick song but done 1541 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,960 Speaker 1: by a guy, or like a pop song like tons man, 1542 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 1: and like it literally like and I've never done that 1543 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,240 Speaker 1: in my life. Like I usually like that whatever I 1544 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: got into rate you know tomorrow. But like I stayed 1545 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 1: up and I was still the day when I got there. 1546 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Driving down there, I was like, what am I gonna play? 1547 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: What am I gonna play? I was like, nervous, Dude, 1548 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why I got nervous, man, But that's 1549 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 1: an on i'd be. I would be lying if I 1550 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 1: didn't say that. And I don't know why I feel 1551 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 1: that way, Like when I go there to y'all show. 1552 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: This is what I think because it matters to us 1553 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,599 Speaker 1: when you come into I think we care about how 1554 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 1: each other feels about each other. Yeah, I mean that. 1555 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,040 Speaker 1: I do mean that if I'm being if I'm letting 1556 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 1: my feelings on the day, there's a rainbow out outside 1557 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,720 Speaker 1: the window, so you can let it out. I think 1558 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,439 Speaker 1: that we both like each other. I think we care 1559 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 1: about each other, and so that puts the pressure onto 1560 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, like we want it to be great 1561 01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 1: because it doesn't get to happen often it does. We 1562 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: want it to be the lightning in the bottle that 1563 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,719 Speaker 1: we felt like it should be. I think that's probably 1564 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 1: what it is. And also, you're weird and I'm probably weirder. Yeah, 1565 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,680 Speaker 1: And our mutual friend is weird too, and he's the 1566 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,599 Speaker 1: weirdest doing the whole world like weird, Like yeah, because 1567 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys too that one minute you 1568 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: can catch him and he's like totally like have you 1569 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: go the nexting, he almost feel like you don't know you. 1570 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: And I think that's why him and I were so 1571 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,680 Speaker 1: good together, is that it didn't matter. It was just 1572 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 1: like you want to lock yourself in the room. Okay, cool, 1573 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 1: I'll just watch TV. They just didn't you know. Yeah, yeah, 1574 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 1: Well we've talked about a lot. I told you, this 1575 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 1: is a whole different thing I got. I mean, I 1576 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: haven't have like the jams over here, like you know 1577 01:13:53,600 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: my favorite one this side it's right, I mean, like 1578 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:08,439 Speaker 1: who is Jaco and singing a second ride? It was 1579 01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,720 Speaker 1: this guy that would just I literally I wrote that 1580 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:15,200 Speaker 1: song in Tallahassee with a buddy of mine, Eric Durants, 1581 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,800 Speaker 1: And actually we were part of it in Tahassee. Part 1582 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 1: of it was in a van driving back from Nashville. 1583 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 1: I got it. He had his tour bus like they 1584 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:24,639 Speaker 1: were on tour in a rock band, and I jumped 1585 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:26,920 Speaker 1: in his van and rode back with him to Tallahassee 1586 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,839 Speaker 1: and we wrote that song. And then you don't even 1587 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,519 Speaker 1: like it doesn't sound like your vocals don't even sound 1588 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 1: the same. But there was I've gone through a lot, 1589 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: like when I worked with Joey who did all the 1590 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Florida George a line stuff and all that he actually had. 1591 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,879 Speaker 1: Barefoot Blue j Night was out before before the FGL 1592 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 1: like big Cruise thing and all that. And if you remember, 1593 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not just saying this as bragget some people 1594 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,799 Speaker 1: hate the song whatever, but like when that song came out, 1595 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 1: Barefoot Blue j Night, it sounded just different than than 1596 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,640 Speaker 1: other stuff that was on the right. People my songwriting 1597 01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 1: friends now that will tell me, they'll be like, man, 1598 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:00,880 Speaker 1: there's times that we're in room and people were like, 1599 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:02,840 Speaker 1: man that they're if a blue unright something like that. 1600 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,559 Speaker 1: When it came out, just it sounded different. Um. And 1601 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 1: luckily when I met Joey and we did that together, 1602 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,760 Speaker 1: he changed like my whole world, my perception of the 1603 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: people that were listening, not only like like visually from 1604 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: the things the way things changed, but like sonically and 1605 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:23,080 Speaker 1: audibly and uh so that guy was previous early stuff 1606 01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,120 Speaker 1: that was just I don't know, man, I was trying 1607 01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 1: real hard to like just to put out a song 1608 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:30,599 Speaker 1: that worked. Like I think when you get a record 1609 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 1: deal to like you in the early days, like you're 1610 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,960 Speaker 1: so focused on trying. That's all I had. I dropped 1611 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 1: out of college. I told my parents I was gonna 1612 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 1: do this. I was gonna like I was like doing 1613 01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,040 Speaker 1: anything I could to keep the glass together, and I'm 1614 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 1: still trying to keep the glass together. I don't think 1615 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 1: we ever stopped. Yeah, I don't think it ever stops. Yeah, 1616 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 1: you just I'm just you're constantly. I won't say I'm worried, 1617 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 1: because I'm not worried about what's next in life. But 1618 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 1: I don't like the fact of knowing that, like something's 1619 01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,720 Speaker 1: not doing as well as pass subly. Could you know 1620 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 1: I feel about this one. I love it. It makes 1621 01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: me happy. What do you think about it? I think 1622 01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 1: it sounds like you. That's what I've done interviews recently 1623 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: for this song, and people have said to you there like, dude, Jake, 1624 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 1: this sounds like you, Like I'm happy to hear this 1625 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,560 Speaker 1: is your new single because it sound When I heard it, 1626 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,960 Speaker 1: I was like, that's Jake. But people probably also told 1627 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,679 Speaker 1: you that he ain't gonna love you. I was like, Oh, 1628 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,080 Speaker 1: this is We're gonna blow this up too, and it 1629 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:27,920 Speaker 1: be awesome. That's why I don't trust anybody, cause people 1630 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 1: just tell you what you want to hear. Yeah, But 1631 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: I trust myself and I trust my judgment and I 1632 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 1: trust the fact that this song is just feels it 1633 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:39,880 Speaker 1: feels good to me, man, and and if and if 1634 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: it if this doesn't work, then it felt good to me. 1635 01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 1: And I can really I've told you it multiple times now, 1636 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,640 Speaker 1: and I've told other people. So it didn't work, and 1637 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,519 Speaker 1: then we'll see what happens in where I go from there. 1638 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I have a 1639 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,840 Speaker 1: whole lot of fans and I and I make a 1640 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 1: good living. Um, I'm able to do everything I want 1641 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 1: outside of maybe seeing my little girl as much as 1642 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: i'd like to. Um. But I uh, I'm getting back 1643 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 1: to what I said earlier. Man, I could I honestly, 1644 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't be happier in my life. Like, I don't 1645 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: know what I could have right now that would make 1646 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: me way happier than what I am right now. Like 1647 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,559 Speaker 1: I'm pretty comfortable. I finally realized that I just it's 1648 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,840 Speaker 1: okay to be me and just be cool with it. 1649 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:26,120 Speaker 1: I feel like we should pay each other for therapy session, 1650 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 1: but they we'll be back even again, so we don't 1651 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 1: owe each other anything. I Mean, someone said to me 1652 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 1: the other day, They're like, it was an interview that 1653 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: I did and this lady said, you, Jake, I remember 1654 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 1: there was a time where you were telling people I 1655 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 1: read it and Rolling Stone that you didn't want to 1656 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: be pigeonholed as just the the beach guy, the guy 1657 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,040 Speaker 1: that you know, that's all it. And um, she was 1658 01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: like why because that's isn't that where you're from and 1659 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,640 Speaker 1: kind of what you know? And I said yeah, and 1660 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,720 Speaker 1: I was and not looking back, that was probably not 1661 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 1: this one of the smartest things I ever said. Hey, 1662 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 1: I had a lot of these, and apparently every morning 1663 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:03,800 Speaker 1: you listen, I say a lot of dumps. Are your 1664 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 1: feelings hurt? I like it? Really? Yeah? I love it. 1665 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 1: You feel like we got real. I feel like I'm 1666 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:12,800 Speaker 1: glad you told me that about me, man, because I 1667 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 1: was wondering what was like, you know, up your skirt 1668 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,639 Speaker 1: about me. So I feel a little better now. I've 1669 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: already told you that, but honestly I don't think you did. 1670 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: But for sure did remember remember it like an iron 1671 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: freaking trap. Well, I'm glad you know, at least we 1672 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 1: got it out there. I feel good about it now. 1673 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: I felt good anyway. I felt good anyway before it 1674 01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,599 Speaker 1: Like I was like, you know what, I've also been 1675 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,479 Speaker 1: able to let things go as I get older a 1676 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,800 Speaker 1: little bit more, you know, And I don't think I'm 1677 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,439 Speaker 1: as beefy and feisty as I used to be. Still 1678 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 1: am there's still a part of it. Well, I'm glad 1679 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,160 Speaker 1: that you and uh, you and kid I got that 1680 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,240 Speaker 1: stuff all figured out. We did. We went to lunch 1681 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 1: school and you were talking earlier about him on a podcast. 1682 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's interesting, Like he has must be buds now, Like, no, 1683 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: we're not buds, but I'm not. I'm not buzz with 1684 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,760 Speaker 1: anybody but keep and I got into it was because 1685 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,639 Speaker 1: it was over the thing. But it's like when your 1686 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 1: buddies with people, like you tell everyone like, this is 1687 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: my buddy, this is my buddy, and then when you're 1688 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 1: not buddies, don't you know, I don't hang out. I 1689 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,720 Speaker 1: have no break up with your friends. Dude, did we 1690 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,200 Speaker 1: break up for a while? Now, Like we broke up. 1691 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:22,640 Speaker 1: I think we probably just took a break. Yeah, I 1692 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:26,840 Speaker 1: just like went out of town probably. But again, even 1693 01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 1: with the kipt thing I on the air, and this 1694 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: is probably was me probably as you would say, Dick, 1695 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:33,719 Speaker 1: I was like, dude, stop with the phones. I stop 1696 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: yelling at people from snapchatting your phone. This is what 1697 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 1: happens at a concert. It was. My opinion was it 1698 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: probably rude and not polite to say on the radio 1699 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,560 Speaker 1: and not something under DJ would do. Yeah, probably, but 1700 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 1: it's really how I felt. And he got out of me, 1701 01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,720 Speaker 1: and again kept and I both sensitive people, and so 1702 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 1: I think all of us did do this. You're creative, 1703 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 1: we're weird, have to be sensitive. So we were like, 1704 01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: screw it and kept on. I went to breakfast and 1705 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:56,760 Speaker 1: we just talked about it for like an hour and 1706 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,440 Speaker 1: a half and then it was like, all we're good. 1707 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 1: Like I'm crazy, You're crazy. I see why you'd be 1708 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 1: offended by this. I still stand by it, but I 1709 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: see why you would be. And he's like, and I 1710 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,639 Speaker 1: see why you would say that, and I still think 1711 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 1: you're wrong. But it's like we're a good place. And 1712 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: like Kevin and I were John Merrishaw in Minneapolis at 1713 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: the same time, and he was like, hey, are you here, 1714 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,400 Speaker 1: And it was like, how good was that show? By 1715 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: the way, let's talk about that. It was really good 1716 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 1: because it wasn't the Hits totally, and as a major fan, 1717 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't need I don't want to hear your Body 1718 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 1: the wonder Land.

As at the time John wasn't 1763 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,680 Speaker 1: drinking or anything. It was like the straight edge part 1764 01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: of his life and um, interesting human being. He's a duck, sure, 1765 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: but that's why he's still nuts. And Yeah, and I 1766 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 1: loved the show, Like I learned a lot about it 1767 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 1: by going and watching it. Um. I love the different 1768 01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 1: um chapters. I liked the differently Yeah, and that's why 1769 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: it's great. Differently but simply And that's the that's the 1770 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:06,680 Speaker 1: beauty of it when even when you think of a 1771 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 1: guy like Merl Haggard, like he was different, but he 1772 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,040 Speaker 1: was simply different. You know, there's nothing that like there's 1773 01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,400 Speaker 1: so many simple things about John Mayor and the music 1774 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,000 Speaker 1: he makes and the and the things he plays. Um, 1775 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:21,639 Speaker 1: because I love guitar playing, but I'm a huge fan 1776 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 1: of drawn to tone and and and and what you're 1777 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:29,680 Speaker 1: not playing like what and like for instance, Love on 1778 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: the Weekend to me is was is the hit song 1779 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,160 Speaker 1: of that wave of the of that album Search for Everything, 1780 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,400 Speaker 1: it's the hit. But if you think about it for 1781 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,080 Speaker 1: a guitar player like John Mayer, who's such an amazing 1782 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 1: guitar player. That was the first song that they released 1783 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,639 Speaker 1: off that album. But when you listen to that song, 1784 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,680 Speaker 1: other than the melody dune dune doodoe dune doo doo 1785 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,439 Speaker 1: doo doo dune, there's no guitar solo in that song. 1786 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 1: How cool is it to be like the greatest guitar 1787 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 1: player in the world and not do what people expect 1788 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: you to do. Right, let's go listen. I don't think 1789 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 1: it's a hit on the record, but I do think 1790 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,600 Speaker 1: I do get your point, which it's the hit. You 1791 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 1: could play on the radio and it would be you 1792 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,800 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying and be just that kind of tune. 1793 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,240 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, there's no guitar solo on that song. 1794 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,240 Speaker 1: There there isn't. You're right, and it's it's an odd 1795 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 1: song structurally, is an odd song, which is cool? Uh? 1796 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: What love on the weekend? It's not Yeah, it's three chords. No, 1797 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about verse chorus change. 1798 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not you don't put it on the 1799 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: radio and it just makes sense. I think it feels 1800 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 1: like something like you can hear like like you ought 1801 01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:36,439 Speaker 1: to next you know, you want to do this on 1802 01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 1: your show, on your show next time.

I mean, this is like the realest 1807 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,559 Speaker 1: song on the record. Say, but the really the real 1808 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 1: is in the blood. It's like does it wash away 1809 01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:08,600 Speaker 1: in the water or in the blood? Um. I'm a 1810 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 1: big fan of moving on and getting over because that dude, 1811 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 1: you gott understand that.

It's like moving on getting over things. 1813 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,599 Speaker 1: John Mayra was the first artist ever speak to me 1814 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: really like actually felt my life and his words.
