0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>It's good to be here. Man. You text me about

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.399
<v Speaker 1>an hour and a half ago saying you're bringing juices over.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't see any juices. Well, I saved the story

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to tell you because, um, I've had a crazy day today,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>so I woke up or I was excited about this.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you to just like kind of see

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you outside of the whole realm of you never been

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to my house, huh. I haven't lived here very long either,

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>though I haven't. But something too is like I think too,

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>like about going into the show on your show, as

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>great as it is, like like you know today, like

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I showed up here, like I don't have anybody with me,

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, with all due respected people

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>around me and in the label and stuff like sometimes

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for all of us artists, I think I speak on

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>behalf of it. Was like you sometimes go to that

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>show and like you've got so many people around you

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and they're trying to tell you things like you don't know,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>like you've never done this before, Like I don't know

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you or you know what I'm saying, and it always

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>seems like it's kind of you mentioned long form earlier

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>with more of a short form kind of short interviewee

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. It's never really that comfortable. So I

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>was looking forward to getting comfortable in your chair at

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>your home, man and chatting with you. It's a thunderstorming

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>outside too, so the ambiance is there. Juice story, So

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>all I know is about I better go, Jake since

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>me at Texas. Hey, I'm coming over. Yeah, I'm gonna

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>stop and get you some men. You know, no good fruit?

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you like grapefruit juice? And I reply back, not really,

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>but do you mean quote grapefruit juice? Because then not really,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>which was funny. But see what my mom raised me.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>When you go to someone's home, uh you know, it's

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like nice to take a gift. And I was like, well,

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you're a healthy guy, and I like juices, and I

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>had to go there anyways, garps and juice today. I

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>thought you'd like some juice. I like grapefruit juice just

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>be I'm a Florida guy, like that citrus. But they

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>sometimes a grape frutjuice can get a little acidic, so

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>they throw that mint in there. To offset it. They

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>make them in a nice craft, so I had her

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>make a grapefruit have they She said, you have not

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>tried charcoal water, which I highly recommend. Wait, who said,

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>how does somebody know what I've had? Uh, well, there's

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a girl there that owns the place, and I guess

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>not at a few other people have gone there before

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and picked you up some juices. And I said, have

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you ever had has he ever taken some of the

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>charcoal water? She said, I don't think he has. So

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I had you a thing of mint charcoal water, and

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>then cash you milk, which is great. I'm not sure

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're a cash you guy, but I figured to

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>give you a different choice. And where are all these toys?

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know I was gonna get you for Christmas?

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>We no, no, But here's the this is the thing, man.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>And I thought about like making up an excuse as

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.239
<v Speaker 1>to like why could and then I'm like, this is

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the honest truth. So I called her that's upset it

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>all up? Was ready to go there today. Well, my dog,

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought, ran off because I was in the studio

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>doing some singing in my house and I looked everywhere

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>for him. Gotten drove down the road was screaming, and uh,

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>he was locked in my bathroom downstairs in the in

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the garage. She locked himself in there, which I never

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.040
<v Speaker 1>looked in there. So I searched for an hour, so

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I was behind time at this point. Then I literally

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 1>can't find my wallet, so there was no way I

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>could go to the place and actually pay for the juices.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>But couldn't you as Jay Going, the guy they know,

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the country star, say hey, let me just put this

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on my and I don't expect you to do it,

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just saying no. I thought about that, but

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, man, that's even weirder than just being honestly.

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>They're telling you that I can't find I mean right

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 1>right now, I'm gonna be honest, like it's a weird

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 1>feeling not knowing where your wallet is. Oh, you don't

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>know what what it right now. I've looked forward for like

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a day. You'll find it, you know what I mean.

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>But when I find it, I'll get you some you

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>know what's gonna be a day though, is over the

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>threshold of you'll find it. Yeah, But I checked my

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>debit card and there's been no activity. I don't think

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it's stolen, but if you go over a day, it

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>means it's somewhere. It's it's out of your normal circle

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of cycle, right, so it's hard to just stumble upon

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>it again unless you remember where you went. I just

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>constantly I am losing losing things. I've told people for

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>a long time, Like I literally a lot of times

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't don't know where my keys are, I lose

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>my wallet, but I can remember everywhere, Like on the

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>way over here, Snoop Dog, What's my Name? Came on

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>on on random Shuffle and my iTunes and I was

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>just singing every word. And it's odd that you can

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>remember things like that, but you can't remember where to

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>put your wallet in the same place every time you

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>come home. I'm the opposite. I can't remember a lyric

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to say in my life, but you have. You're meticulous

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>about facts, and it's not even. I don't lose things,

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and when I do, I know where I lost them,

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I can go, oh, you know what, I lost

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 1>my keys? Where would I have lost my keys? And

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I can go right to them without no one can't

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>do that. It's weird. Get parts of the brain, Yeah,

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's odd. I can remember things back when I

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, I mean, like detailed things, and my

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>mom even to this dale say like, how do you

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>remember that? I don't know. Isn't a funny remember phone

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 1>numbers though, like as a kid, like I remember my

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 1>best friends phone number. You don't have his parents might

0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>do that. Okay, well still somebody has that number, probably um,

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I remember all. We don't have to though.

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Now I don't know directions for the most part, because

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I have a GPS in my car, and it's like

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to get places because I usually

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>just let it take me. It's the world. The world's

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>getting too easy, and when it all goes down like

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Walking Dead style, We're all gonna be really screwed. It's

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the people that remained think it's down like that. Of

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>course I love those shows because I would love for

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the world to end while I'm on it. Are you

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>one of those people? I didn't see a bumper stick

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>around your car down there? Zombie like zombie? Nope? All

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I think this is what I hope. I hope the

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>world ends while I'm here. Why because think about how

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>many Yeah, it would be awesome. No, think about how

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>lucky you would be it's like palm trees and sunshine

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, and that's cool and you're gonna

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to experience that right now. But think about how many

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>people did not get to experience into the world. All

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the people didn't get to experience that. You get to

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>experience the final We're gonna die anyway, Like we're just

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>a bullying in the earth time just I mean not

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>even a blink. What it's like this goodbye in that

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>one blink you get lucky enough in that one blink

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of a twenty four hour cycle. I don't know if

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to see that, Like already I'm paranoid right now,

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't find my wallet. It's the challenge I thought of,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>like the world ending is is that that does lots

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'm fascinated annoying, where like I don't want

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that's that's that is the thing to her to have

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a full, beautiful life that she hasn't had yet. So

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but think about the real competition that it is. Think

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>about the competition to be just to live, like I

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>live for competition all sorts, like oh I love it,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the ultimate competition, the struggle for life against

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone all the time, and I would love to be

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a part of it. So you want to be a

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>part of like last Man Standing of life. If it's

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a game show, I'm like, who cares? I mean, I'd

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>like to win it, like to win the extra money.

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>They'll be fine. You want to be the last guy

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>on earth? I want to be one of the guys

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>running a village. It's like dominant eating Really. Oh that

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>that thrills me. I mean, I get I like that

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you're honest about that. I would love it. I mean, like,

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I've never thought of it that way. If I have

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to I eat, I eat a human in a second.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I just know that I want to win, and I

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>want to win everything that I do. And that's the

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>ultimate no no, But that's the ultimate competition. We're basically animals.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>We've been were domesticated very much. So imagine we're not anymore.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, GPS, no cell phone, it's off,

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>no power. Can you imagine what we would turn into animals? Again?

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>We turn into dogs and here we go, who's the

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>strongest and smartest dog. I might not be the strongest,

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>but let's see how smart I really am? Oh man,

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I would love it. I've had many conversations about this.

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>That's that's like my fantasy is the end of the

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>world and I'm here because we have different fantasies. Man,

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>we do. We're messed up in different ways. Um, I'm

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>drinking amano as water because I didn't get anything. Do

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you mind telling me a little bit of like amino

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>acids for a second. Yeah, because I don't sleep well.

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>They help with sleeping. They Yeah. Basically from what I've

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>learned and listen, every single fitness person I've ever met

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in my life has different theories on every single thing.

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>You kind of collect what you believe and you kind

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of read science a bit and didn't do what work

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you and you find what works with your body. It's

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>also with people and weight and muscle. Everybody's different. There

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just isn't an answer to how to get skinny or

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>how to get but what what does amino acids do? Really?

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>As opposed to like I guess, you're depleting them while

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you're working out, so you're just adding them back into

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.599
<v Speaker 1>your system basically, and it's nothing where it's making me

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>any better. It's just trying to help all the suck

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's I suck. Because I don't sleep. I feel

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>like you need sleep. Man. It's the single most important thing.

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Like it literally is more than working out in order.

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's sleep, eating good and working out. How many hours

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of sleep you get heda you think like it'll be

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 1>this is my issue. Tell me be in bed tonight.

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the middle of riding my second book, so

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to write. And this is one of the

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Bobby Cast. It takes my days and makes them later.

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So where I would probably start writing right now and

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>write for ninety minutes of two hours, I won't start

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>until seven. So I'll probably right till nine, work on

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>this show till ten thirty, a late night, fall asleep

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>round eleven, get up at three and so, and then

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you run all day and then uh, you know, I

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>go all day on a normal night, try to be

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>in bed by eight. But and then on the weekends

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it throws me. I tore every weekend. So I'm gonna

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>stand up now. And so I I go to I'm

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the Saturday night in town oddly at the wild West

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Festival. Be here unfortunately the only time I don't know,

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But I wouldn't expect anybody to. You guys, gotta work.

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll be there. I've told you that before. I love comedy, um,

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>but then to every weekend, so I'm up till one

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>two am on the weekends, so I never My schedule

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>is never the same. I don't care about me. Why

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about me? What do you do for fun? Man? Now?

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know? I'm staying in the shower. Let

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>me tell you get a conste you have to talk

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>about you don't? Yeah, I don't. I don't like talk

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 1>about me really it, which is weird because I talk

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but I do it. I feel like

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of I feel like you talk about yourself

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:09.719
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but you talk about it in a

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>way I like it. That's exactly. I haven't liked to

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>control compliments because I don't feel comfortable getting complimented. So

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm much better. Do you like the feeling of? And

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>then we'll get off you talk to you? But do

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you like the feeling of? Because there is also a

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>very satisfying feeling, which I think that's what us as

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>entertainers like, of almost knowing that you could fail, but

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of not failing is so gratifying, like, for instance,

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.439
<v Speaker 1>like like, do you know when you walk out there

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>in any crowd you're gonna do you know that you're

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna crush it? Are you? Like there's a chance that

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>they might not like my jokes? But I think by

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>going i'm your competitor. You said, I'm gonna go into

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>it thinking I'm gonna crush this audience. But like, does

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it make you uncomfortable if it like if you're out

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 1>there and it's not. If I'm not uncomfortable, it's not

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>fun to me exactly. So I go out and what

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I do, and what I've been doing is working this material.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And the thing about stand up is you go out.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You I can't sit and practice it in my room.

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like not like playing guitar. If I'm gonna write

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a funny song, I play a funny song, I practice it.

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, fcg you know, do my little chords, play

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a little whatever. You have to go out and do

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>jokes in front of people, and you have to fail

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a few times before it works. So if I'm not

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>in every set, I've got some brand new stuff I'm

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna try. And I'm always a little bit nervous about

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>that new stuff because I know some of it's going

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to bomb hard, and it's so exciting to me to fail.

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love it. I love it so much like it.

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the most thrilling thing to me is making yourself

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>completely vulnerable on stage to bombing your brains out, Which

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>is weird because it's such a juxtaposition of my life

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>where I have I do not have the ability to

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>be vulnerable to humans, but I I search for love

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>on stage from a crowd that I know no one

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>but in real alive. I for some reason, I've not

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>been good at accepting love. So I think that's being

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm trying to change it a bit. And it's

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>tough because I don't think I don't do good at

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>letting people in. Ever. Hey man a buddy of mine.

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a great songwriter. Speaking of songwriters, um, and his

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>name is Jared Mullins. He wrote this new and this

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't a plug of my new single or anything, but

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he's a great guy and we were talking. We always

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about this, and I gotta He gave me this

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>book that I'm gonna I gotta get the name of

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.439
<v Speaker 1>it and get it your way, just just you should

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>read it. Though I can't think of the name off

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the top of my head. I started reading It's amazing,

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>And that's why he read it, because he's like, man,

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a book about this guy as a comedian, and

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>he hadn't because his life was all about being funny

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and and being that guy. He never found the other

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>true side of who he was because he felt like

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>he was always a character. See, I feel the opposite.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I became someone who was funny because I didn't have

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.959
<v Speaker 1>that other I didn't start out as the character. I

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find the other one. I couldn't find the other one.

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not a character. Well I'm not saying, I'm

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 1>just saying, but yeah, interesting wondering like what if you

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.719
<v Speaker 1>am I to someone else? You know what I mean?

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Not that it matters, but this is deep today. It's

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>what we do. You do the same thing, Like why

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>in the world do we try to get on and

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I get on the radio and try to do my

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>little performance? Why do you get on stage? You do

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you performance? Like why would you do that? Why? What

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>what are you seeking? Well? I was thinking about that

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>a second ago. I was like, what made what made

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you like like yeah, I think everyone thinks like yeah,

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm pretty funny or I'm humorous or something,

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but like, is it the challenge of it because you're

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>being a competitor or like, are you Like I think

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm so funny. I can walk on stage and like

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>make people laugh because I think I'm funny. But I

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I'm I could be I could do

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that because I don't know if I'm but nobody until

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:53.599
<v Speaker 1>that you do it. And I sucked, and I love sucking,

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and you can you can isolight that clip if you want. Yeah,

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.719
<v Speaker 1>but I love it was so thrilling to me to

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>be bad at something and to why to myself grow

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and get better. And I guess that's cool. It's like

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the self fulfillment of getting better at something. I'm telling

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you it's the best, like going out and just bombing.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, like five or six weeks ago, had a

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>really bad show and I came off stage and I

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 1>was just like, Oh, it feels so awful that it

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>felt it felt so good? Well, can I ask you?

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, probably the worst thing that anyone that's a

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>stand up, because I have a few of my friends

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that here's the thing about me being a stand up,

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't even consider myself a real Do I

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 1>go and do stop comedy? Actually? But do you like

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>sit there and go so this guy like you're not

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>telling jokes like that's more of life stuff. It's funny. Yeah, No,

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I write jokes like, but I don't. There are guys

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that picked their whole career and do that, do that.

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It would be like me consider myself a musician because

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I go play two thousand people a night for the

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>raging idiots. I'm not a musician. I'm just an entertainer.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Do I get up and play songs and dude? And

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>then do I do I do stand up? Yeah? Do

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I do a radio shop? I'm not really great at

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>any of them, but they're all challenging to me, and

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I love them. I'm a I'm a radio guy who

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>also probably a TV guy too, I could say, but

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like there are real standing there are real

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>stand ups. And I don't consider myself in that same

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>vain because I haven't put in the hours of just

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>going on the road for five nights a week and

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>dirty clubs like I started in theaters. But's it, Let's

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>see how good this goes for ten minutes and it

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>sucked and that was it and they got better that's cool,

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and then didn't and you know, things miss and I

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 1>love it when they don't. I love it when what

0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>was the weirdest show? Who was terrible? Was there anything bad?

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You think? Like? Did you like read? You like left?

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And you were like waiting for reviews to pop up?

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Or I do that. I don't worry about reviews because

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're regardless, it's gonna be bad. I

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like everybody dislikes me, just generally in the world,

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and I have to convince every person to like me

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>because everyone likes here. But this is how I feel

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that everyone dislikes me because I've grown up being different

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>than everybody else. Was the poorest kid. I was a

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>white kid in a black neighborhood. I was the dirty kid.

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I was the southern accident kid trying to be on

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the radio that you should have never been on pop stations.

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And I got a country and all of a sudden,

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't country enough, when I'd always been to country,

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and when a cowboy had I was. I've never ever

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>been in a place where I've been the liked person,

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>so I've always felt like the guy that's fighting. That's

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>just punching underwater. And so like my whole life, and

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's built into me that nobody likes me ever,

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and so I have to convince people like one one one,

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>And I know I walked a room and it's not true.

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>And I know, like my brain says it's not true,

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but my heart says it is. I walked into the room.

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Everybody hates me and I have and I know that.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Like when I say those words, it sounds stupid, logically stupid,

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>but that's how I feel because it's just how it's

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>been my whole life. They do. But I'm also nuts

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and I have. I know that, and that's okay, and

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that's that's okay. And so you know, I've been a

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of therapy and what therapy therapy had It made

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>me least done that. Man, but I thought about it

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and it made me lest nuts. It's made me see

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that I'm nuts and use tools to go, oh, this

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>is you being crazy right now, take a step back.

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Relationship right now. I have trouble sometimes because it's going

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>great and it starts to be too good. I'm like, Okay,

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>something's gonna go wrong. I'm gonna kill it. I gotta

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>kill this thing. And I go, whoa, you're an adult

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 1>man now too. You're not nineteen anymore. So I say

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to myself, you have a great relationship with a great human.

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't have this up and after just pull back and

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.879
<v Speaker 1>look at it that way. But you should. I love therapy.

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. Excuse my interruptions, Like, you can get therapy.

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember, it's like therapy. Nobody from small talk, and

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to therapy. So I went therapy. I was like, whoa,

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I can tell somebody like my whatever and they don't

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>really care, and they'll just give you an opinion with

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing like they don't care, they have they don't see

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 1>you out later and they don't worry about your attitude.

0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Six pm. Interesting. I was like, it's awesome. So I

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.959
<v Speaker 1>embraced it. But yeah, whatever, it's good to see you.

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I got Let me talk. Let me talk about sleep

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 1>number for one second. So spring is in the air.

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>It's spring cleaning time. And think about when you clean

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>your house and you're scrubbing your baseboards and you're doing

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff around that you don't normally do. Think

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 1>about your bed and where you spend a lot of

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>your time, probably more than anywhere else except where your bed.

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>And think about your pillows and your mattress. When's the

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 1>last time that you replace that? You know you can

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>wake up refreshed. And I always say my sleep number

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 1>bed is probably ten feet from where I sit as

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I do the Bobby Cast and a Queen right now

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>starts at nine. The sleep number bed. I highly recommend it,

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.199
<v Speaker 1>especially if you have to wake up early in the

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>morning like me, three am comes and I'm happy to

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 1>have my sleep number bed. Uh it a justus. You

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>have your own setting. My sleep number setting is thirty.

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.360
<v Speaker 1>My sleep I Q score last night was I don't

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.360
<v Speaker 1>know nine D or something. So it's all about you.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Going now and see the clearance beds and the bedding

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Sleep Number makes room for their newest innovations. Right now

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you can say five hundred buckshot thousand bucks on selected

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>beds plus up to off clarance pillows to find any

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Sleep Number stores five fifty of them nationwide.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You can find one near you by calling eight hundred

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>next bed, telling me heard on the Bobby Bones Show.

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>And just know that I use it and I tell

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you about it because I love it. I have one upstairs,

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and I have one upstairs here where the studio is,

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and have one downstairs all the way down there too,

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.719
<v Speaker 1>So sleep number of beds. Check it out all right?

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 1>So uh, like what is your deal? Like you're just

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>not around as much anymore, dude, I gotta ask you that. Man.

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 1>You guys have said that to me before, and I

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.879
<v Speaker 1>was like, damn, like like like I didn't know how

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to take that, not that you were saying it like maliciously,

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you were saying it honestly, but it like I was like, damn,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 1>really because like you think, like, dude, I've been working

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>so like so hard and probably a lot like yourself,

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I this is all outside of my little girl,

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>which is the greatest thing that's ever happened me. Um,

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like all I have, you know what I mean?

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Like every day I wake up, I'm like what can

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I do today? Like almost to a point where a

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>lot like you were just saying, like, dude, I've got

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 1>people that you know, that I work with every day,

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>that I that I respect more than anything, But like

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately sometimes on their behalf, like they get like this

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>side of me and it's like, so like what's next?

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm not. It's not that I'm not happy with

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>what's what's going on right now, but I'm constantly looking

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 1>for what I can be better at, Like what you

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>were saying earlier. I think it's part of just being

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>um competitive or whatnot. But that's all I do. And

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 1>especially uh, ever since I got divorced, you know, like

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't have my little girl here anymore, and um

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 1>she's in Florida, and and so I see as much

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>as I can, but on this time off. Like, man,

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it's weird to wake up in my house every day,

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>like if I'm not on the road and just go

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>like what am I gonna do today? And most of

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the time I pick up my guitar and I'm writing

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>something or I'm trying to create something, or I'm working

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with buddies on it. And so along with all that said,

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like it's really weird to think like how hard you

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>can work and then be dating. Really and I have

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I been? Have I disappeared because it part of me

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>feels like I'm just now getting back, Like I think

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>when I went through all that, personally, I think, uh,

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I kind of took a little sabbatical, you know, a

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.399
<v Speaker 1>little bit but as far as like um on the

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.640
<v Speaker 1>radio or whatever, like it's something about the radio, because

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>what I don't I don't hear them any songs in

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the radio. I want to talk a lot too. If

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.159
<v Speaker 1>a song plays, I'm not listening to it because the

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 1>volume down, getting ready to whatever about to do. So

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's not even a radio thing. I just

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and it could have all been. I mean, you had

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a thousand things happening in your personal life and you

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>got freaking divorce and your kid goes away, Like that's

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta be like your heart getting ripped out with your

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 1>kids moving to three states down that it was like

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:43.639
<v Speaker 1>we was a text all the time, and all of

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a sudden it was like I didn't if Jake, I

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>don't gonna have never text anymore. I just figured, you

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 1>know what, he's having a time whatever. Whatever he's happened

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>in his personal life, it's happening, and I just you

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>were just gone. So I apologize about that. I know

0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not apology. That's why it asked where you been,

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 1>like like in a good way, like what have you

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 1>been up to? Like I I've been doing a lot, man,

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I I've got a lot going on. Car Frankly, I

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was with a management company for a lot of years

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>ended up. Um we parted ways. We we still have

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>great relationship, but I had like bigger aspirations as far

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 1>as branching out. I love country music at the core

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of it. I love it so much, and I love

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>um traditional country music. But I still have this longing

0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to want to always do more. And uh, I love

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the entertainment side of things. I've always I've always done

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>things like hosting and that. So I'm working on a

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 1>television deal right now. UM that I've got going on.

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a whiskey company that we've talked about before

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that takes up a lot of my time as far

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>as just help promoting this brand that's really taken off

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to the point where we've now acquired h Our Vodka Company.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Then both of them on their in their own right

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>are doing really really well. And what's weird is is

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>because being a guy that like play guitar and a

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>barstool cover songs anything from swee Holm Alabama to Shanondola

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, I didn't and when I dropped out to

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>move to Nashville, I never thought that I would be

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Um the CEO of of a company and they have

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:14.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people working for me, a lot of

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and the more as it started. As much as I

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes try to play off, maybe like I'm just laid

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 1>back Florida guy just just got bare feet because the

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 1>beach all the time, man like as a man, a

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty five year old man, like I'm sometimes like, man,

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I got so much going on, like I'm exhausted. Meanwhile,

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>still trying to find happiness in like something or someone

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 1>out there that it's bigger than this day to day

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.639
<v Speaker 1>life of singing songs. Is that wonder with that? And

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you're still dating the same girl

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>explaining some girl, Yeah, I've been dating a girl for

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a while, So I gotta wonder, like after a divorce,

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 1>because I'm gonna tell you afters and and if I

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>have a friend or I have a co worker and

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>they lie to me, I'm like, man, like I'm out

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 1>for for it's hard for me to come back, Like

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough one after you get out of a marriage.

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I've never been married. So you're talking to somebody who

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know, how did you get back into another something

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>with someone at all? One year, three year, seven years,

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.679
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, I just think you feel it, you know,

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Like for instance, I thought I thought of that, and

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I did think of that when I got divorced um.

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>But my dad was married um at an early age

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and had my older brother and sister half brother and

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>sister from a previous marriage. But if he hadn't have

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 1>found it again, or if there's no such thing as

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 1>finding love again, and he would have never met my mom,

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and I wouldn't even be in this chair right here.

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>So I found a lot of solstice or whatever you

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>wanna call it in knowing that like love is there,

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>don't matter what, just about finding it in the right

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>way and not looking for it, Like are you sure?

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not? I don't even know about love, Like I

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:10.440
<v Speaker 1>don't even know about it, Like I don't even know

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 1>if it's a fairy tale. People just say, I don't know.

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a great relationship right now, best ever been in.

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Right Well what what like? Are you happy? That's the

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 1>main word, Like, as a human being sitting in that

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>chair right now, are you are you happy? That's what

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 1>all that matters. I think I don't I'm happy. I'm happy,

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I feel good about saying that, Like I might

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.120
<v Speaker 1>not have everything in order. I might not have everything

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>that like I wish was like the way it should be,

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>which frustrates me. But like as I sit here, like

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got a lot of blessings in my life, Like

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy man, Like I'm a happy dude. So that's

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>why I ask you, like, I hope you're happy, because

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like we're pretty lucky, man. But since I got here,

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm lucky. Why I don't think luck happens.

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I think everything that I think you

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you work your way into luck. I don't believe in luck, Okay,

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I just don't believe in luck, right, I look, it's

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>like it's not necessary you gotta believe in I mean,

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:10.719
<v Speaker 1>you think you work yourself into a heads or tails,

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 1>like someone's like this piece of candy flip enough coins

0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and you sit there and grind it out to enough

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>coin flips and actually you're gonna hit your heads sometimes

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you hit that first one. It's about creating your own opportunities.

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that I'm not understanding what I have in life,

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 1>which it makes me happy, like I wasn't like and

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not not thinking I'll be honest, like I didn't

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 1>work myself into like being uh a dad, Like I

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>got lucky that I had this little girl that like

0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 1>changed my life, Like I'm lucky that I was born

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 1>in It happens to a lot of people, Like I

0:26:45.400 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 1>don't luck you win the lottery even then you had

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to go buy the freaking ticket you had to go

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 1>with that certain time. I don't know, you just I

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:54.719
<v Speaker 1>just you didn't plan that out. You didn't work so

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>hard to find out what time you need to be

0:26:56.359 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 1>there at the time to buy the ticket. You know,

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just luck. Dude, I'm not gonna un luck. You're

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>not gonna convince me of luck. All right, I'm convinced

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you work for everything and that your opportunity to happen

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>because of the work you put in. Well, I'll tell you, dude,

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:12.439
<v Speaker 1>I've been really, really successful in my life, and a

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of it is because, yeah, I worked at it,

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of it is because I was really

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 1>lucky to be there to the right time, worked and

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 1>got in the right spot. This is different philosophies because

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm the minority philosophy on this, and I understand that

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>that's probably why I'm miserable. So you're not happy. You

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>just said miserable. You don't have to finished many percentage

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>of the time I've started to find I try to

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 1>find bits of happiness and take those bits and really go, man,

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome right now before I let it consume me again.

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.159
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm always fighting get to the next island

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 1>of this is cool for a second. So are you

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a glass half empty or half full kind of guy?

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm I don't. I want the glass to stay together

0:27:54.400 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and not break. Yeah, that's it. I don't care. I'm

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to waters in there like I want to keep what

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I got because I don't think it's it's such just

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like it would work on my job. But I don't

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna last. I don't think this is gonna last.

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>You think I don't. I just don't. So everything that

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I have, I put it all into it, and I

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:16.120
<v Speaker 1>go save all the money again, do everything again, because

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it isn't gonna last forever. And when it's not, you

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.919
<v Speaker 1>know it's not, then it doesn't. I'm not. I'm not

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a pessimist, though, I believe you can work and achieve whatever.

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>If it's physically possible, you can do it. You can't

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>talk a basketball from four ft one. So I say,

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>physically possible, you can't run up. There are people that

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:36.439
<v Speaker 1>are born, so let's remove that part of it. But

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>if it's if it's physically possible, I believe you can

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>work and will your way to it, regardless of what

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it is. I think if I want to be the

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>president United States, I could be the president United States.

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a kid too, grew up in a town of

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred people in Mountain Pine, Arkansas. No my family

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>graduate High school, Mchlas College. But I could be the

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 1>president United States. I think you can if you wanted that.

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>It may take me a long time. You may take

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>me thirty or forty years, but I think I could

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>do it. I think anybody can. Yeah, that's yeah, that's

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>like dream big. You know. I believe in that philosophy,

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and I believe that you working work to do mostly anything.

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.719
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean. There's things against you as

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a human. It's just will make it physically impossible. Well

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I said physical that was my only rule. But outside

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of that, I believe you can do anything. I think

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>people can, and they underestimate themselves so much like people

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>go I was, you know, this is my area code

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is my zip code. This is what I was told

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to do. There's there are no rules. There

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>just aren't rules in life. Even in music, there aren't rules.

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know who comes along. It makes a difference

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to people that goes that these aren't rules. Let me

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>go do it this way, and most of them fail.

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 1>But the ones that hit boom, they are home run hitters.

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 1>They make the new rules for everybody else. And let's

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>say you fail. Let's say you fail, you fell miserably, Okay,

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>come back again, swing again, keep swinging until you hit. Yeah,

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and don't stop swinging until you hit. Eventually you can't hit,

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that's why I believe. And once you hit, you're probably

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna strike out again. That's how you strike out is

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 1>because you have the nuts to go and try exactly.

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So I love anyway. I love to fail. That's like

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It's not fun right when it's happening,

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but it's awesome too succeed a loss. But that's why

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, like, I was, like, where you been?

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>It's so I've been just yeah, because your Fay keeping

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that glass, your famious Jake going though, so people expect

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>famish Chack going to be out being famishack going, and

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>so I got a lot of stuff that's not famish,

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:34.960
<v Speaker 1>take going stuff like you're running, you're doing business stuff. Yeah, well,

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>like you said, I mean I think a lot of it.

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, there, it's like keeping the glass together.

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got a lot of stuff going on, which keeps

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 1>me making sure I'm one of these guys that can't

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just sit back and do that. Well that's cool, that's happening.

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm always wanting to be involved in it, and so

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to make sure that I'm that I'm in

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all places while still compartmentalizing each one in order to

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>have a day to day life. Is is interesting because

0:30:59.920 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't getting back to I said, like, I didn't

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>learn that in school as like a business guy or something.

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I've just kind of had to learn this over the years.

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So I've been, uh doing that. I've been making some

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 1>new music. I, um, what if that you making new music? Like,

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>are you working on another record? Um? Not necessarily, I

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think. I'm just I had this idea based off

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of the way that I've I've seen music being consumed

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>these days that um, people, when you're lucky enough use

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>that word luck or worked hard enough to the point

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>where people are admiring what you're doing, it's important to

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>continue to feed them. And I feel that in a

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>way that the music business UM can sometimes be antiquated

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 1>in the way that they're let they're allowing the music

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>to come out, especially country music. It's the worst format ever.

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, for for music and for for the way

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.239
<v Speaker 1>as fast as people are able to concern it. So

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I I'm been doing all I can for people out

0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>there that love my music to give them as much

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>as I can, you know. And and uh, if I

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>have a song or I have an idea of something

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to, I don't think just because I have

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a single on the radio. My theory is this, it

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>is because there's a song on the radio that's that's

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>being pushed by the label, and we're selling the album

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>that by putting out another song on iTunes or out

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>there on sound whatever, giving people something else to chew

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>on UM only makes some like this a little bit

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>more because it's something else that makes this more viable.

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And uh, instead of the thought that this is cannibalizing

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>this does that make sense? Like future at least an album?

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>So here's a good example of what you're talking about.

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:42.239
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I agree with you completely, and

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the putting out twelve songs that once album

0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 1>idea is awful now I think it's I mean, look

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>at look what what John Are did. First of all,

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was brilliant. We had time to do

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.480
<v Speaker 1>with the two different waves of three and but we

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>had time with each of them. But in our formats,

0:32:58.280 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like you have to put out a hard c D

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>because it still hard, but we got about the hard

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:07.520
<v Speaker 1>album and twelve at once, like having two quarterbacks. Even

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>if you got two great quarterbacks, you got a bunch

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of great songs. People aren't really going to get to

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 1>love all of them because it's all at once, always

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 1>compared to like there's always three times a day. Yeah,

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I agree, but there's a lot about it too that's

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 1>always sketchy, because there's a lot about I think one

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 1>reason music has become somewhat disposable sometimes and I think

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you probably feel this way, Like I love music, I'll

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with music some certain new song or something,

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and then because music is so accessible now and iTunes

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>or Spotify or whatever'll have the newest latest what's happening,

0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like I'll listen to that one day and no matter

0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and don't get me wrong, what's great will always be great.

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 1>But sometimes because of it, there's so much distraction that

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to continually focus back to one. And I

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>think maybe that's why to like a lot of sales

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>have declined a little bit, because the more you're giving people,

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the more that they can't just be focused on that

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>one album or that one thing and hope for the

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>next thing. I have a niche theory when it comes

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to people trying to make it in the creative world.

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Now everybody wants to be super famous, right everybody. I

0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 1>want to be super famous. I want to have everybody

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>loved me. I want to hit a hundred percent of

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the historical That's virtually impossible now it's and it's getting

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 1>even more impossible because of the distractions. And it's not

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:23.840
<v Speaker 1>they're not distractions. They're just a part of the world

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>now right there. It's just every day we think their

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>distractions because we're our thirties and we didn't have them

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago. To someone who's eighteen, not distractions, it's

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 1>every day. So you can get more out of focusing

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 1>on your eight percent and super serving them. Then you

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>can get out of trying to give a hundred percent

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>and be super famous. And if you focus on your

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:49.720
<v Speaker 1>eight to ten percent and give them exactly what they want,

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>you were going to be so much more successful than

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 1>if you give a hundred percent. This little a little bite.

0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:58.719
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get in where you fit in and hit

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 1>it and stay true to whoever you are. Well, it's

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it's funny you say that, because that's really what I

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:07.239
<v Speaker 1>what I've been doing, um with my music. I mean,

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>these songs that I've been working on. I finally realize

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it's funny. Um. I released my last single that was

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>on the radios called if He Ain't Gonna Love You.

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:19.959
<v Speaker 1>It had Chris Stapleton on it, uh singing backgrounds, and

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>uh it was something that I really loved. I love

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.439
<v Speaker 1>that song. Um, but I think it's so different from

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 1>like this coastal field that people have come to enjoy

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:39.799
<v Speaker 1>for me. Uh, there it is you here Christens back. Anyways,

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think even label wise people that are behind me

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.360
<v Speaker 1>at the time, like you know, they'd be lying or

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 1>any of us be lying to say that, you know,

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:49.600
<v Speaker 1>as well as Chris is doing right now, as well

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 1>as we've known at greatest singers he is for as

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>long as we have. It would be great to have

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 1>him on a song with us and put it out,

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 1>but with as great as his voice is, as great

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:03.919
<v Speaker 1>as that song might be, Um, it's not really what

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>people see me for and see me as, and I

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:09.399
<v Speaker 1>think it's an artist for the For a long time now,

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I've I've honestly battled like what I really am and

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:18.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of what I want to be and and trying

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to do all of it as opposed to do what

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you just said, doing what I'm good at and just

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and and giving that to the people that love it

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 1>instead of trying to appease to everyone. And so I've

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:31.719
<v Speaker 1>even noticed it with my show, the way that are

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 1>like it's so it's started to get so much more

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:36.560
<v Speaker 1>honed back into the way that I grew up being

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>from Florida. The songs. I loved being in a riverside

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 1>cafe and seeing this band called the land Sharks come

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 1>play when I was a kid, Like they played Jimmy

0:36:46.200 --> 0:36:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Buffett songs and it was like really kind of cool

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 1>at reggae field mixed with all it was just it

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was great. And I've noticed that now that my show

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and my set and my songs, this new single good company,

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>like everything feel is like me, which makes me happier.

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I'm trying to do something that's

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>not comfortable. I'm gonna play some of this. This is

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a good company here happy. But I hear that, did

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you let somebody talk you out of being you? Um? No?

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 1>You know what I can honestly say, and I'm not

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:31.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the I love people's opinions. I respect everyone

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I work with and always have. Um that that just

0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>factually can't be true. You can't respect everybody work with

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and you always have. I respect their opinions. I don't

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 1>have to say I respect them as a person and

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 1>some of the things they may have done before. But like,

0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I respect their opinion. I think I think it's in

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>order to do good business, and and that's what this

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 1>is at the end of the day. I mean, I

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 1>can sit there and say, oh, I'm an orders, I'm

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:55.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it my way, it's only my way or whatever,

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:57.920
<v Speaker 1>but that'd be bad business, you know what I mean

0:37:57.960 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 1>for me, So in order for me to do good

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 1>business with people that I'm in business with, I respect

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 1>their opinion and so yeah, there were times where their

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 1>their opinions were different than mine. Um. And then there

0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 1>were times that mine was different than theirs. And I

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. I mean there were times I was wrong.

0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Like I released Days of Gold as a single, UM

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and it went it It went like fifteen. And this

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.279
<v Speaker 1>was after I had like four straight number ones in

0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a row. UM. And I think everyone puts so much

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>emphasis on a song going to number one as opposed

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to it just being a song people like and and

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 1>and you can get so consumed in this town of

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 1>where a song went and if it's not doing well.

0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:39.920
<v Speaker 1>And meanwhile, people out there they don't care. They just

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:42.919
<v Speaker 1>like they just like it. They they don't care about

0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:46.479
<v Speaker 1>the bubble. It's like people in Nashville in the music

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.800
<v Speaker 1>industries like high school. Yeah, I mean it's like a

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:51.279
<v Speaker 1>high school and it's and you have the same little

0:38:51.280 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 1>club of you got the jocks and the cool people

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and the nerds and the Yeah you're right, it's it's

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:58.799
<v Speaker 1>and there's the same gossip. I mean. But it's like

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>every workplace. We think we're getting older and more mature,

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>we really don't. Our problems just become different. We're all

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the same immature people. Now we just got different bills

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>to pay. Yeah, I still feel like I'm constantly every

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 1>day like working just to better myself. When you ask

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>what I've been doing, and we've been chatting about a

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff that kind of leads us back to this,

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like I've been doing. It's just trying to figure out

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>how to be a better mean dude every day, honest

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to God, because I've I've I've found myself in times

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>where like I'm like, man, I'm not heading in the

0:39:31.680 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 1>right direction, and I got to redirect myself. And sometimes

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that sometimes that transcends into my music or the songs

0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm writing, or the decisions I'm making. You know, when

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you're going through the divorce, do you ever have a

0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 1>personal spot where you're like, God, this, I mean, this

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is really awful. Yeah, And I don't know about this. Uh.

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 1>You know what's weird is is like while I was

0:39:56.280 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>going through the my divorce, Um, they were down in Florida,

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I have this little townhouse that uh that

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I have over in Bellevue and where my house at

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the time was getting renovated because we were I was

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>renovating it because we bought this house. I loved it

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and wanted to renovate it so for my family, you know,

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to be there. And when they left, I was like

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.359
<v Speaker 1>under renovation. So I'd have anywhere to go, and I'd

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:27.879
<v Speaker 1>come home off the road and I was staying at

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:32.000
<v Speaker 1>this townhouse and that townhouse I I've owned since I

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was a single bachelor and lived there by myself, and

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:37.359
<v Speaker 1>like it was weird because I remember those days of

0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 1>like being twenty five and twenty six and whatever and

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 1>being in that townhouse and like where I was at

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that point in my life. And when I left there

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and got this beautiful home with you know, a gate

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and like everything that like a secluded place for me

0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and my family, I thought that was it, Like That's

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 1>how it always would be. And so when there were

0:40:56.880 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 1>nights where I'd wake up or be by myself in

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this townhouse in Bellevue, h literally there's no furniture in it.

0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>It's completely empty, and I had to blow up air

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:16.399
<v Speaker 1>mattress and some weed, and like I was disappointed man

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 1>in myself, Like not so much on the weed thing,

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:21.479
<v Speaker 1>but I was just like I just would like bet

0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 1>not disappoint out, just like damn, Like did I what

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:26.240
<v Speaker 1>did I do to like be sitting here by myself

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>right now, Like everybody thinks like like you just said,

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you just said a second AGirl, like you're superstar jakeoh Man,

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 1>are you supposed to be doing with superstar Jaco Is.

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Then I come home off the road, like literally, like

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the night before I would be just playing some huge

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 1>festival or something. We're thousands of people and like they're

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:42.239
<v Speaker 1>screaming and yelling my songs and trying to get backstage

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 1>like the thing that everyone And then I would get

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.759
<v Speaker 1>home the next day and be so lonely and be

0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:50.120
<v Speaker 1>by myself in this town house like with a no

0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:53.680
<v Speaker 1>ship an air mattress that I would like I had

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 1>a hole in it that I would like tape with

0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.399
<v Speaker 1>some duct tape each night so the air wouldn't come out,

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 1>and I would just like kind of figure like I

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>feel like I gotta ride this out and see where

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it goes. Like you know, I was working on things, obviously,

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:07.879
<v Speaker 1>but that was a little that was a low point

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 1>for me, like where and then it was weird. I

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.400
<v Speaker 1>did my daughter for a week or two uh or

0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>four days and then give her back to her mom,

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:17.879
<v Speaker 1>and like it would be the highest high of having her,

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:19.799
<v Speaker 1>and then she leave and it was back to like

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:23.440
<v Speaker 1>whoa like am I back to like a single dude again,

0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like trying to like do I need to go to

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:27.359
<v Speaker 1>a bar or something like meet a girl? Like where

0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>can I meet a girl? Because she doesn't care who

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I am? Like gott to be impossible. Yeah, at this point,

0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you do it. How do you

0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.520
<v Speaker 1>meet a girl that doesn't care who you are? I

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:40.520
<v Speaker 1>met a girl. I think that, well, it doesn't care

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:41.840
<v Speaker 1>who I am. You know, I need to know what

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.719
<v Speaker 1>field ten so I can make a correct judgment on this.

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a totally unfair judgment. But I didn't know what

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 1>filled too is in Uh, she is in the home furnishing,

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:55.919
<v Speaker 1>she cares who you are? Then you think so yeah,

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:58.799
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think it's a bad thing, but if

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>at first it's so shining and it's like, look, I

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>think she would be the first. I mean, we've dated

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:05.800
<v Speaker 1>for a little while now, you know. And this is

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 1>actually the first time I've ever said on air on

0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 1>anything that I've been dating. I might have told you

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:12.719
<v Speaker 1>one time, and I've told you, but never anyone else

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 1>iver really talked about it. But but um, I'm I'm happy,

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 1>like when I said I was happy earlier. Like I

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>think this is a derivative of it. Um is having

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.680
<v Speaker 1>her her name is Erica um in my life like

0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:29.840
<v Speaker 1>she uh, she really likes like, Um, she likes me

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:31.879
<v Speaker 1>for me, honest, I can sense it, like I'm I'm

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:33.879
<v Speaker 1>good and I'm like you rather like I'm always looking

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 1>for ways of like Nope, this is like going to right,

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get away from this, and especially coming from

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>what I came from and having a relationship just explode,

0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 1>like why would I ever want to do that again? Um?

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:47.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think there are certain times where you find

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself like and it's not a lonely thing. It's not

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.320
<v Speaker 1>because I need like wanted someone in my life. I

0:43:51.480 --> 0:43:53.920
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like drew me in. And there's a

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of normalcy to her, which I love. Is she's

0:43:56.560 --> 0:44:00.959
<v Speaker 1>so confident. Yeah, like she she has to be. She's Yeah,

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:04.920
<v Speaker 1>she's very confident, and uh, she's just a you know,

0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:07.959
<v Speaker 1>she's a good girl. Like she's never one time ever

0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 1>like questioned me about you know what, why don't you

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>call me last night? I know you're on the road,

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you call me? Like were you with people

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 1>or what we're like. None of that, it was. She's

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 1>just like, hey, call me whenever it's okay, are you

0:44:21.920 --> 0:44:26.560
<v Speaker 1>honeymoon period? Still like not at all? That's cool? Is

0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:30.360
<v Speaker 1>she still romanticized by the Jaco went on stage? Cool

0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>guy artist? Um, she's really proud of me, Like I

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:37.759
<v Speaker 1>think she's proud of me because she's been around me

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 1>long enough now to know that, like, who I am

0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:48.520
<v Speaker 1>on stage is not the exact same person off stage.

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:51.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a version of you. It's a version

0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of me, And I'm proud of that because some people

0:44:55.320 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I think they can be something on stage and then

0:44:57.320 --> 0:45:01.800
<v Speaker 1>be totally something different offstage. Like my I I love

0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 1>being the person that is able to bring happiness to people.

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I love that. There's no like. I love it, and

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.799
<v Speaker 1>it like hurts me inside sometimes when I've said things

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean to someone that hurt their feelings, because

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, man, that's the greatest feeling for me is

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>knowing that makes someone happy. The worst feeling for me

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>is knowing that I hurt their feelings or I did

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 1>something just because I can be arrogant sometimes or I

0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:26.920
<v Speaker 1>can be whatever. But her, like she's always seen both

0:45:26.920 --> 0:45:29.160
<v Speaker 1>sides that she's seen both sides of me, and and

0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I admire the fact that she uh has letting me

0:45:33.120 --> 0:45:38.239
<v Speaker 1>be me and while I'm still figuring out how to

0:45:38.280 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>be a better version of that person, she likes interesting.

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I kind of believe you. Yeah, it's it's tough. You

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 1>have to understand. It's tough for me to sit and

0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:48.840
<v Speaker 1>go huh, because I would think someone would need to

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 1>have an understanding job, meaning they understand what you do.

0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:57.040
<v Speaker 1>To fully understand what you do that makes sense, Yeah,

0:45:58.120 --> 0:46:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like they need to understand that there's all this awesome stuff,

0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but there's also a lot of crappy stuff that comes

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 1>with it, and just not see that. Right now, you

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:08.400
<v Speaker 1>make a good living and you're kind of famous and

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. Where if someone who kind, for example, like

0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend, she's an artist and she I mean, like

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I see her grind and she sees me wake up

0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>at three in the morning, and it's it's it's tough,

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and I always want not her. It's just one of them.

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>But I would always wonder like why did I would

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:31.480
<v Speaker 1>always feel like nobody, why would anyone want to date

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 1>me unless they wanted a date? Yeah, yeah, I know

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying I feel that way, and you're like

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:39.720
<v Speaker 1>three times, you're like way better looking than me, taller,

0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:43.759
<v Speaker 1>you got more money. You know, there's all these things. No,

0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I just think I'll be honest, I've had my share

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:53.200
<v Speaker 1>of like the whole careless side of dating and not

0:46:53.320 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>carrying and stuff like that. And then I really get

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:58.240
<v Speaker 1>like I still look like and I would I feel

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:00.680
<v Speaker 1>okay saying this, but like I still of love my

0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:02.680
<v Speaker 1>my ex wife, Like I don't have feelings for her

0:47:03.280 --> 0:47:05.279
<v Speaker 1>like the love of life, but I have I have

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>this love in my heart for her as the mother

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.480
<v Speaker 1>of my child. Um, but I also still like to

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:13.440
<v Speaker 1>like I've moved on, and I feel really good about

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:15.759
<v Speaker 1>caring for someone else in that way too, Like it

0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:18.279
<v Speaker 1>makes me feel good to know that someone relies on

0:47:18.320 --> 0:47:20.799
<v Speaker 1>me and like if they need me, like I would

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 1>be there for them. And uh, I like like it

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:25.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of gets back to making someone happy to like

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I just love the ability to fulfill someone's need and

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.360
<v Speaker 1>desire for whatever that may be. And uh and and

0:47:32.440 --> 0:47:36.320
<v Speaker 1>it fulfills me. You know. So you're looking at you

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:40.239
<v Speaker 1>like very deep. No, I'm listening to your words, that's why. Yeah,

0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm genuinely listening and taking it in here. Well,

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen my parents. They've been married for thirty seven years,

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and I remember when I was a kid man my dad,

0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>who loves my mom more than anything. But like I

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:56.520
<v Speaker 1>see where I get this like like just angst sometimes

0:47:56.840 --> 0:47:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and like because my dad was the same way, and

0:47:59.680 --> 0:48:02.319
<v Speaker 1>he would come home and he'd be like, Mitzi, you know,

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:04.680
<v Speaker 1>why did you spend this amount of money at the

0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 1>grocery store? You know, And like he could have come

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:10.520
<v Speaker 1>home and been like, hey, guys, how are you you know,

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>but like that wasn't my dad's demeanor, Like he had

0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>probably got a high bill or something at the office.

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:17.640
<v Speaker 1>And after working all day, I came home and that's

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 1>how we'd start the day after my mom had been

0:48:19.560 --> 0:48:22.080
<v Speaker 1>cooking dinner all like half the night, because we'd have

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:24.080
<v Speaker 1>dinner every night around the table. Like I was lucky man,

0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:25.960
<v Speaker 1>using the word lucky. And I feel that way, like

0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I was likely to be born into a family where

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I could sit there at night with my twin brother

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and my mom and dad and talk about life and

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:35.799
<v Speaker 1>what we did at school and stuff. But I get

0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:37.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that from my dad, of like where

0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:39.160
<v Speaker 1>he just gets this like what you know, my mom

0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:40.799
<v Speaker 1>be like, I had to buy a groceries to cook

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.640
<v Speaker 1>this food that we're gonna eat right now that I've

0:48:42.640 --> 0:48:45.040
<v Speaker 1>been making for you all day. And then so there's

0:48:45.080 --> 0:48:48.080
<v Speaker 1>like this and my mom always said in relationships, it's

0:48:48.160 --> 0:48:51.560
<v Speaker 1>not fifty fifty, Like relationships are not fifty fifty. She's like,

0:48:51.600 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>there were days where your dad gave literally two and

0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I have to give N's interesting, and that's true. I

0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:01.359
<v Speaker 1>never thought of it like that. You're that's absolutely right.

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>And she's like the effort. And then she's like, then

0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:06.480
<v Speaker 1>there's days where I give of care and your dad

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:08.080
<v Speaker 1>had to get he knew it, and he had to

0:49:08.080 --> 0:49:11.280
<v Speaker 1>give me eighty. She's like it was finding that balance.

0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:14.000
<v Speaker 1>And and and they're right because I watched my parents

0:49:14.040 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and they love each other more than anything, but I've

0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>watched them getting all out, like you know, matches of

0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of not you know, disrespectful, but just yelling at each

0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:26.359
<v Speaker 1>other like people do. And and and that's the thing.

0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I've also learned too, and I'm feeling more comfortable

0:49:28.719 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in my life and career now talking about the reality

0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of the things that happened, as opposed to trying to

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pretend like it's things aren't real, you know, you know,

0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:40.799
<v Speaker 1>it's it's odd you mentioned the thing, because it's like

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I never thought of it like that. And it seems

0:49:43.640 --> 0:49:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like every time I do want to, somebody says something

0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'll give you an example coming for a second.

0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:51.919
<v Speaker 1>But it's more like it is fifty over a relationship,

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but not over a day or a week or a month,

0:49:55.200 --> 0:49:59.399
<v Speaker 1>because then maybe one day, maybe the next day, yeah,

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:04.640
<v Speaker 1>it may eighties, but it's not fifty. But in the

0:50:04.760 --> 0:50:07.359
<v Speaker 1>end it kind of has to be over the long term.

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:09.840
<v Speaker 1>It just switches. It's like it watches its sum. It

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:12.640
<v Speaker 1>averages out. I guess is the way the wait just

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the averages out. It's pretty good. I'm I'm a I'm

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:19.319
<v Speaker 1>a I'm a convert right now because here I'll tell

0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you I was talking to Ross Cooperman and man, we

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:25.040
<v Speaker 1>were talking about you know, we had a really good

0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:28.640
<v Speaker 1>talk and he's coming to the Standard Show Saturday. Just

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:32.360
<v Speaker 1>talked to him and we were just you know, you

0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of get lost in these conversations and didn't feel

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:36.040
<v Speaker 1>like this microphone in front of you for a while.

0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking about songs, and I'm just so interested

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 1>in the songwriter part of it for me, Like that's

0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:44.280
<v Speaker 1>why I started this thing, Like I'm interested in songwriters

0:50:44.800 --> 0:50:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and why they write songs, artists, artists or songwriter, songwriter,

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 1>song I just want to know, like I want to

0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:52.800
<v Speaker 1>put some light in a place that really there's not

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of light shined on. And so I was like,

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>so tell me you write these songs. These these guys

0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 1>take these huts that there aren't. There's like most artists,

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:06.239
<v Speaker 1>if it's fifty fifty or if it's sixty forty, they'll

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:08.319
<v Speaker 1>still go with their own song over another cut if

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.480
<v Speaker 1>if if it's close. And he was like, you're right,

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that does happen a lot, he said, but you know,

0:51:14.239 --> 0:51:17.440
<v Speaker 1>here's what Kenny Chesney had told him. He said, you

0:51:17.480 --> 0:51:19.839
<v Speaker 1>will sell more and merch if you have a hit

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not yours. Then if it's a great song, then

0:51:23.520 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 1>if you have a good song, it is yours. The

0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 1>money you'll make. And he was like, that's what a

0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:32.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of artists. And again he's a songwriter who isn't

0:51:32.320 --> 0:51:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and who's not on the radio. So you gotta understand

0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:36.920
<v Speaker 1>what's coming from a bias agenda field place. We all

0:51:36.960 --> 0:51:39.319
<v Speaker 1>are eye him. You are everybody is. But he was like,

0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's what the new artists should know, and

0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what artists should know, Like you should take outside

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:48.239
<v Speaker 1>song from songwriters, because here's Kenny Chesney, who I don't

0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 1>know that Chesney writes anything on his records anymore. Yeah,

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't very little, ye so, but he's not. He doesn't.

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter to him. He wants to find great

0:51:58.080 --> 0:52:01.600
<v Speaker 1>songs what's And that's why Kidney has always been great.

0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:04.839
<v Speaker 1>He's found the greatest way possible of doing something, whether

0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it be a song, whether it be a show, whether

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.719
<v Speaker 1>it be his body working out. Like the guy does

0:52:09.840 --> 0:52:12.960
<v Speaker 1>everything to a high level, and he expects a high

0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:17.680
<v Speaker 1>level of of everything and his music. He's written great

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:20.040
<v Speaker 1>songs that were number one hits. Uh, you know, I

0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:23.520
<v Speaker 1>go back. He wrote that by himself. I think, um,

0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:25.960
<v Speaker 1>but a lot like I've learned from him being on

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:28.239
<v Speaker 1>the road as many as much as I was. Where

0:52:28.239 --> 0:52:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he was like, Jake, you just gotta take what's the

0:52:30.680 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 1>best song. And he's right because my first two albums

0:52:34.239 --> 0:52:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I wrote every song everything, and uh, it wasn't until

0:52:37.800 --> 0:52:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I recorded Barefoot Blue j Night and heard Eric Postley

0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:43.640
<v Speaker 1>singing the demo on it. I was like, man, this

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:45.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds like me. And I didn't write it, but it

0:52:45.880 --> 0:52:47.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds like me. I thought, was it tough for you

0:52:47.880 --> 0:52:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to take an outside song for the first time and go, well,

0:52:51.600 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 1>here's what a lot of people don't UM know either,

0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Like when you come to town, when you're come to

0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:01.000
<v Speaker 1>town and you're just a guy that just trying to

0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:04.360
<v Speaker 1>make it and be validated as a great Like I

0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:05.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted people in time to be like, man, if you

0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:07.120
<v Speaker 1>heard this j kid, he's a great singer, he's a

0:53:07.120 --> 0:53:09.360
<v Speaker 1>great songwriter, he's a great all. I felt like in

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:13.120
<v Speaker 1>order to get that buzz happening, I had to write

0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:15.560
<v Speaker 1>my own songs and write with other songwriters and show

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 1>that I could that I could do that. But and

0:53:18.640 --> 0:53:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I was also with a buddy of mine who was

0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:22.279
<v Speaker 1>helping me. We were writing everything together, and I was

0:53:22.280 --> 0:53:25.359
<v Speaker 1>being loyal to him, and um never realized that by

0:53:25.360 --> 0:53:29.600
<v Speaker 1>reaching into this beautiful, deep well of songwriters that you

0:53:29.640 --> 0:53:33.080
<v Speaker 1>can't have a hit that and people don't care. They

0:53:33.120 --> 0:53:35.759
<v Speaker 1>don't you're just as much valid they don't know if

0:53:35.800 --> 0:53:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you have if you because you know what's funny is

0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I think probably a lot of people thought I probably

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:41.839
<v Speaker 1>wrote Barefoot Blue J Knight because it was so much

0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:46.960
<v Speaker 1>like me but made it sound like you too. Yeah, well,

0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:50.399
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Yeah. I think that's what I realized, is it?

0:53:50.520 --> 0:53:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I had hits by songs I wrote I had a

0:53:54.920 --> 0:53:58.840
<v Speaker 1>career song by taking an outside song, which that career

0:53:58.920 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 1>song started a string of Alone with You was next.

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:06.799
<v Speaker 1>They went number one. Uh, Anywhere with You was the

0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:08.799
<v Speaker 1>third one. It went number one. Old on a second,

0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:10.200
<v Speaker 1>let's let's let out my steck. Let me tell you

0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:18.880
<v Speaker 1>my favorite Jake On song, this one Heree song. And

0:54:18.960 --> 0:54:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not some beechy coastal song, you know, that's just

0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:23.920
<v Speaker 1>a song that I And what's funny is Shane mcinnal

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this song and I told him for a

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:28.000
<v Speaker 1>year before I recorded it, I don't even have it

0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:29.759
<v Speaker 1>on hold. I was just like, dude, I love that song.

0:54:29.960 --> 0:54:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I hate the line in it you

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:36.120
<v Speaker 1>got edge every time you call? Uh? He said, you

0:54:36.200 --> 0:54:39.239
<v Speaker 1>don't what the I sang and change the lyrics. You've

0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:42.279
<v Speaker 1>got me out on the edge every time you call.

0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:44.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what he said originally in this in that line,

0:54:45.280 --> 0:54:50.360
<v Speaker 1>no kidding, said you've got me running with scissors down

0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the hall. Yeah, you know okay, and he said because

0:54:54.600 --> 0:54:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he was right reading a book called running with Scissors, dude,

0:54:59.200 --> 0:55:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, that's terrible. I was like

0:55:03.000 --> 0:55:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't know, and like I was like, I don't

0:55:06.360 --> 0:55:08.120
<v Speaker 1>run with ever since my mom was like I was

0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:09.799
<v Speaker 1>a kid, my mom's like, don't run with scissors. Like,

0:55:10.280 --> 0:55:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and I understand the idea of it, but like, isn't

0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it more of a metaphor? Now I'm not saying the

0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:16.200
<v Speaker 1>line was right now, like the line change, but it's

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:18.319
<v Speaker 1>in't a medapal run with scissors like it's a metaphor. Yeah,

0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it is a metaphor, and I know it was

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:23.359
<v Speaker 1>a metaphor. But there's also lines and songs like that's

0:55:23.400 --> 0:55:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the thing getting back to taking outside songs. There's so

0:55:25.680 --> 0:55:27.480
<v Speaker 1>many times I hear songs. I'm like I love it,

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:28.880
<v Speaker 1>love it, love it, love it, love it, love it,

0:55:28.920 --> 0:55:31.120
<v Speaker 1>love it. What did you just say? I'm like, uh,

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:33.759
<v Speaker 1>And that one thing. It's kind of like, you know,

0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:35.880
<v Speaker 1>people say they're not like vain or whatever, but you

0:55:35.960 --> 0:55:37.640
<v Speaker 1>might be like super into a dude or a guy

0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:39.719
<v Speaker 1>or whatever and be like I love everything about it.

0:55:39.840 --> 0:55:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, he's one like big Toe. It's just

0:55:42.040 --> 0:55:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like and it turns you off. Right, I'm not saying

0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I've ever done that. I'm just saying people people, people

0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:50.880
<v Speaker 1>can be like particular about certain things, and that's how

0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I am with songs. Like if I hear one thing

0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:54.719
<v Speaker 1>that it'll throw me off, so I either have to

0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:58.040
<v Speaker 1>rewrite it and then just say, hey, man, I'll cut

0:55:58.080 --> 0:55:59.600
<v Speaker 1>this song. I just had to rewrite this one part.

0:55:59.640 --> 0:56:01.080
<v Speaker 1>But that's why think I'll tell you I've never done

0:56:01.160 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 1>You can ask Eric Passley this, and he talked about

0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:07.359
<v Speaker 1>it on this extensively. I cannot take credit on like,

0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:09.920
<v Speaker 1>even if I write something within a song, since the

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:13.760
<v Speaker 1>song wasn't originally my idea. I can never feel comfortable

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 1>taking credit for for that because they set me up

0:56:17.800 --> 0:56:20.360
<v Speaker 1>for the home run I just and I didn't have

0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with it. I'd rather give the credit

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:24.560
<v Speaker 1>back to the songwriter. That's where to do. Songwriters man

0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>or songwriters have made my I'm a songwriter, but these

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:31.520
<v Speaker 1>other songwriters in Nashville, Ross Coporman, I mean, he he

0:56:31.600 --> 0:56:34.719
<v Speaker 1>produced and and it was a big part Shane of

0:56:34.760 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 1>my last album. UM And without these types of guys

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:40.160
<v Speaker 1>like I wouldn't I wouldn't be where I am in

0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:42.000
<v Speaker 1>my career, I wouldn't have the things I have in

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:45.319
<v Speaker 1>my life, no way, absolutely not. So I always got

0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to give that back to them. Yeah. Eric talked for

0:56:48.120 --> 0:56:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a long time about how you came into that song

0:56:51.680 --> 0:56:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and fixed it to be you a lot and didn't

0:56:55.640 --> 0:56:57.840
<v Speaker 1>want any credit for it. Like he was like, it

0:56:57.920 --> 0:57:00.719
<v Speaker 1>was kind of unbelievable that he came in did so

0:57:00.840 --> 0:57:03.359
<v Speaker 1>much rearranging of things that made it feel like your

0:57:03.400 --> 0:57:06.120
<v Speaker 1>song and never asked for anything. You know, man, I

0:57:06.160 --> 0:57:08.239
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I don't feel like it's right. Plus it

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:10.160
<v Speaker 1>will all come back around one day, you know, like

0:57:10.239 --> 0:57:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I've always looked at it, like you do the right

0:57:12.160 --> 0:57:15.000
<v Speaker 1>thing right, good things come back around. Barefelt Blue, do

0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:18.200
<v Speaker 1>not never want to learn with you? Number one? I

0:57:18.320 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 1>want to got away When we got away number one.

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I wrote that song, uh true story about a girl

0:57:25.360 --> 0:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that just came to town in a small town if

0:57:28.840 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you're a beach Florida and met her one summer and

0:57:30.760 --> 0:57:32.480
<v Speaker 1>she went away. I never met I never saw her

0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:36.240
<v Speaker 1>ever again, and I thought this song actually would like

0:57:37.040 --> 0:57:40.440
<v Speaker 1>story that person would pop up and be like, did

0:57:40.440 --> 0:57:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you ever look for on Facebook? You never even look

0:57:43.120 --> 0:57:45.480
<v Speaker 1>for I don't even have a Facebook. Yeah, that didn't

0:57:45.480 --> 0:57:48.440
<v Speaker 1>mean you didn't have Facebook like old Jabe, Twitter or

0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:51.520
<v Speaker 1>something old Ye, my Space. I looked up around my

0:57:51.560 --> 0:57:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Space a lot of places in our lifetime. We've got

0:57:54.360 --> 0:58:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to see it all, like start how about too? Yeah,

0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 1>another song I didn't write. I did not write that song.

0:58:03.320 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I just love it. David Lee Murphy wrote this song

0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I think with Ben Hay slip and uh oh man.

0:58:10.560 --> 0:58:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel terrible. I'm forgetting the third writer on this

0:58:12.720 --> 0:58:16.360
<v Speaker 1>song right now because we had a great night at

0:58:16.360 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the d m I Awards or game last show that

0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I did there. You came out the first time and

0:58:20.600 --> 0:58:24.320
<v Speaker 1>introduced him. Actually, if you remember that, yeah you did.

0:58:25.480 --> 0:58:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah again, it's been I've been here four years now

0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you did. That's when I gave you that photo of

0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:33.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty years. Yeah. Does it feel like you've been here

0:58:33.240 --> 0:58:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a hundred years? Yeah? But I love it here like

0:58:36.440 --> 0:58:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I moved here because I love it here, Dude, I

0:58:38.400 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 1>love it here. I hate the industry. I love the people,

0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and I love the part of the country. And I

0:58:43.760 --> 0:58:45.760
<v Speaker 1>love the listeners of my show because they're normal people.

0:58:45.800 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I need to be a normal person with them. Yeah,

0:58:47.400 --> 0:58:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I hate the music industry. There's see, here's the thing

0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:51.920
<v Speaker 1>about the music industry. And this is, dude, I could

0:58:51.960 --> 0:58:55.960
<v Speaker 1>say whatever I want about the music industry and that

0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't matter one way or another as far as you

0:58:59.600 --> 0:59:02.440
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel or whatever. No one gives a

0:59:02.520 --> 0:59:05.760
<v Speaker 1>crap about how what I think. But I do believe

0:59:05.840 --> 0:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that there are so and I think you have to

0:59:07.440 --> 0:59:09.680
<v Speaker 1>admit in this like the music industry gets a rep

0:59:09.760 --> 0:59:13.720
<v Speaker 1>for what it is. But there's so many great people, dude, Like,

0:59:14.160 --> 0:59:17.360
<v Speaker 1>there are so many great people and so many people

0:59:17.480 --> 0:59:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and so many like, there's so many people that have helped, like,

0:59:20.240 --> 0:59:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and I keep going back to it, like I know

0:59:22.160 --> 0:59:24.080
<v Speaker 1>because I messed up many of times. I've said things

0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that people I should have never said. I've done like

0:59:26.400 --> 0:59:29.479
<v Speaker 1>and I've said things that I didn't They weren't even

0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.480
<v Speaker 1>meant the way they received them that were played against me.

0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:36.440
<v Speaker 1>But I've learned that like in a town where people

0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and then this business, which is creative, by the worst

0:59:40.720 --> 0:59:43.480
<v Speaker 1>thing you can do is be like the negative nanny

0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day, you know about the business, because I

0:59:45.480 --> 0:59:47.960
<v Speaker 1>found like it can turn against you quick. I just

0:59:48.040 --> 0:59:50.560
<v Speaker 1>check out of it. I have nothing to do with it.

0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:53.360
<v Speaker 1>As little as possible. I have to do with it like,

0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and that has been my reputation, and at times it's

0:59:57.640 --> 0:59:59.360
<v Speaker 1>not been good because of that because I just don't.

1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't go to the record parties. I don't go

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to the fun cool stuff. I'm gonna go to the nothing.

1:00:05.160 --> 1:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>You'll never see me at anything because it just name

1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>one thing you've ever seen me. I try to be

1:00:11.840 --> 1:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>name one thing I challenged it. One thing you've ever

1:00:14.240 --> 1:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>seen yet that there wasn't something where I was part of,

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>like a bull. That's what I'm saying, Like you have,

1:00:18.320 --> 1:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>that's something you had to be there for, like red

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>carpet or something like. Right, But you're saying like you can't. Yeah,

1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you came to my thing in the b m I Awards.

1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>You can because we were friends at the time. What

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>do you mean I'm still your friends? You know? No, No,

1:00:30.920 --> 1:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying we're friends. No, we've definitely had because

1:00:34.720 --> 1:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>we're both very because you're you're you, and you're not

1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>as weird as you are. Dude, I won't argue with

1:00:41.880 --> 1:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that weird. I don't. I'm gonna argue with that. But

1:00:45.320 --> 1:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>when you get to you said that before we used

1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to be friends. Just when you get too sensitive, No,

1:00:51.560 --> 1:00:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that's not true. That's what happened. One time. I got it.

1:00:53.520 --> 1:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>There's a few times. Once you bad mouth me in

1:00:56.240 --> 1:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a bar in Dallas to some listeners. How what you know?

1:01:01.640 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Go with it, dude? And I was like, dude, what's up?

1:01:04.760 --> 1:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Like why would you do? Because they recorded you and

1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>they sent it to me and I was like, dude,

1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>what and you were like, uh, dude, I was drunk

1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was I was like, you never sent me

1:01:12.800 --> 1:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that text decision. I don't think I ever said that. See,

1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I just think you get too many cool people text messages.

1:01:17.000 --> 1:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>And so I was like, all right, because remember being

1:01:18.640 --> 1:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>look what you like. I don't even know what this happened,

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Like why why did you like badmouth for me? What

1:01:22.320 --> 1:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>did I say? Uh's a lot of a lot of stuff,

1:01:26.760 --> 1:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't matter. That matters to me, dude, because

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I never heard about it, and now you're bringing it

1:01:30.720 --> 1:01:33.919
<v Speaker 1>up on your radio show. And so I'm dude, I'm

1:01:33.960 --> 1:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>all about I'm the most honest. The reason I'm here

1:01:37.480 --> 1:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>is because I feel like I've wanted to know you

1:01:40.280 --> 1:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>better because I don't like people know me that well.

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I get that you talk about that, you know, it

1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>gives me the best people that listen to my freaking show.

1:01:48.000 --> 1:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the place where I can be the most vulnerable

1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and honest, Like right now, I would never say that.

1:01:51.880 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>People ask me all the time about you all the

1:01:54.000 --> 1:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>time because because that's why you get drunk, get angry

1:01:56.320 --> 1:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and drunk that dude. First off, I never in my

1:02:00.000 --> 1:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I like said that, but you were so drunk. I

1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>was just like, why would you say that? Like my

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>feelings were because I really like, no, no, I can

1:02:07.040 --> 1:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I tell you you really want my honest opinion because

1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you say you don't care about what people think. No, no,

1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody cares what people think. Dude. I one thing and

1:02:15.520 --> 1:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe and I think over the years, like because I

1:02:18.280 --> 1:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't like, I didn't go if you remember, like the

1:02:21.200 --> 1:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>first time I ever met he was at the I

1:02:22.440 --> 1:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Heart thing that you were opening up on or whatever,

1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and the guys some label called me and they said

1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>we were coming out as we're the Bobby Bones Show. Yeah,

1:02:30.600 --> 1:02:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and I went to it. I went to it because

1:02:33.000 --> 1:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>not only yet did the label say, hey, you should

1:02:35.080 --> 1:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>go to this and be a good thing. But my

1:02:36.800 --> 1:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>but our mutual friend Andy Roddy was like, dude, you

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>guys hit it obvious great and like and we and

1:02:41.960 --> 1:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you're right, like you got And it was funny because

1:02:44.200 --> 1:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>someone else had said that to me it might work

1:02:46.000 --> 1:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>with you or something or on the show. I was like, yeah,

1:02:48.400 --> 1:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>are you and Bobby like all right, and I'm like, yeah,

1:02:50.240 --> 1:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I think so, I don't. I don't think

1:02:51.800 --> 1:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I did anything or maybe but when you're now talking

1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>about that, uh whatever, I said. The only time I

1:02:58.120 --> 1:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>can ever think of anytime someone's asking me about you,

1:03:00.480 --> 1:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>like how's wide bones? Is that guy? Really, I'm like, yeah, dude,

1:03:03.080 --> 1:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you're a solid dude. But you do sometimes on air,

1:03:06.280 --> 1:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be the first person to tell you. You

1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>can hate me for this for the rest of your life.

1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>But like you sometimes for the guy that's Pimp and Joy,

1:03:14.080 --> 1:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you sometimes like Duke Christir some drama on people, But like,

1:03:19.200 --> 1:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't be two different people. You can't be the

1:03:21.680 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>guy pimp and Enjoy and the guy over here talking

1:03:24.840 --> 1:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to Rogers all the time. I'm human, I'm a human being.

1:03:27.920 --> 1:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I going cranky, I going okay. So then you're expecting

1:03:31.480 --> 1:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>me then, for being a human being. When someone asked

1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>me and I've said that, I'm like, you guys get this,

1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and like maybe, but I don't even I don't, and

1:03:37.960 --> 1:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I would own it if I said anything that was

1:03:39.720 --> 1:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that negative. And I appreciate the fact that you, like

1:03:42.280 --> 1:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>are just bringing you brought it up to me right

1:03:44.480 --> 1:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>now because about it. But I never but I never,

1:03:49.000 --> 1:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think that ever happened due but

1:03:51.560 --> 1:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>then I got over it, okay. But I also think

1:03:53.760 --> 1:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that we are human beings and we have the scale

1:03:57.280 --> 1:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of awesomeness and awfulness and middleness us and we have

1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>all of that and we have to and it comes out.

1:04:03.040 --> 1:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter how The best person I know in

1:04:04.560 --> 1:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole world has got a dark side right like

1:04:07.400 --> 1:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the and I'm the same way. And if I act

1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>like I wasn't, I wouldn't be honest like I'm not.

1:04:13.400 --> 1:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't ever want someone to go like that's just

1:04:15.120 --> 1:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the best dude, because I'm not the best dude. I

1:04:17.200 --> 1:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>don't never claim to be the best dude. I try

1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to put out as much good stun as possible. But

1:04:20.960 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a humanist can possibly be and flawed as anybody.

1:04:24.840 --> 1:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you on that, So I never claimed me mr,

1:04:29.760 --> 1:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>And I do get this, And I was like, well,

1:04:31.400 --> 1:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>how can you be so pous and all of a

1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>sudden get ticked off because I'm a human being. That's

1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>where that's where my Sometimes I think when I did,

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and you know I've called you before. Do you like

1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I listened to your show in the morning every morning

1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>when when I go to the gym, the first thing

1:04:44.640 --> 1:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I turned on, I listened number one because I just

1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>think guys are funny too. I like to hear what's

1:04:48.520 --> 1:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>going on. Three. I like to hear the new music

1:04:50.640 --> 1:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that people are making music. It's the only time that

1:04:52.240 --> 1:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually get to hear it. And uh yeah, There's

1:04:55.360 --> 1:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>been times where I'm like, dang man, like you said

1:04:57.120 --> 1:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a few things sometimes and I'll be like, God, can't

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>believe you said that. And that's from a person that's

1:05:02.520 --> 1:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>like your I thought it. I still think i'm your friend, dude, Like,

1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no no, I do too. I think we're definitely cool,

1:05:07.760 --> 1:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>like we're friends again, or I would have you in

1:05:09.440 --> 1:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>my house like that. That just wouldn't happen. And I

1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>only and I wouldn't even talk about this if we

1:05:13.960 --> 1:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>weren't friends or friendly. Every friendship and anyone anytime people

1:05:18.800 --> 1:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>have a friendship or whatnot, and arts could be through

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>business whatever you want to call it. But in any friendship,

1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>there's always times where someone is not fully understanding the

1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>other person or because you know, I don't know, I'm sorry,

1:05:30.520 --> 1:05:32.640
<v Speaker 1>dude said something that ever like made you feel weird

1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>or like like disrespected you or something, because that would

1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>not be disrespect not how I that's not how I

1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>like to be. I get dispected again, it's just me things.

1:05:41.440 --> 1:05:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I can dispected everybody all time, so

1:05:43.720 --> 1:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that part of them bothered me. But I was like, man,

1:05:45.920 --> 1:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>like one of the dudes, like one of the dudes

1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that consider my dudes, and I got I put them

1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on one hand. I felt like, man, it was bad

1:05:52.200 --> 1:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>bad mouth to me, but it hurt my feelings. But again,

1:05:57.280 --> 1:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you're all if you were drinking. I was like, how

1:05:58.960 --> 1:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>can I? But still I'm human And when you say

1:06:01.560 --> 1:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>things like man, you do stuff on there, and I'm like,

1:06:03.800 --> 1:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that makes me feel good because that knows that I'm

1:06:05.560 --> 1:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>being real. Like all I can ever be is real,

1:06:08.760 --> 1:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and if I ever am not real, if I'm ever

1:06:11.160 --> 1:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>just so positive all the time on the air, that's fake.

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>That's fake. That's not a human being. And I can't

1:06:17.200 --> 1:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>not be a human being because the only thing I

1:06:19.480 --> 1:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>have is to be real and sometimes people hate me

1:06:22.360 --> 1:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes like yeah, but like I get it. But then

1:06:25.280 --> 1:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's times you're like every day is a good

1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and so why don't you look at it like that

1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>all the time? Because I can't look at anything like

1:06:33.200 --> 1:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>anything all the time. Really, I went and I about

1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, I was like, I started to feel

1:06:39.040 --> 1:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like I'm going to push out a more positive and

1:06:41.760 --> 1:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>make a difference to more people's lives. And that was

1:06:44.360 --> 1:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>my goal. And you have, dude, by all means. And

1:06:46.680 --> 1:06:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I tried, and I fail a lot too, I do,

1:06:50.360 --> 1:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel a lot, but you know what's funny, come

1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>on and this is the truth though too And maybe

1:06:54.720 --> 1:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes why maybe certain artists all however, like because it's

1:06:59.840 --> 1:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you have in something that I believe in. I think

1:07:02.960 --> 1:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it's great and I think you know this you have

1:07:04.640 --> 1:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know you have it, like you have an unbelievable

1:07:06.560 --> 1:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>influential power for people the same way they come to me,

1:07:09.880 --> 1:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>because they don't really know anything about you other than

1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>what you tell them every day on the show and

1:07:13.480 --> 1:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this and that. So people come to me or any

1:07:15.160 --> 1:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of us as artists will be like, hey, what's that

1:07:16.680 --> 1:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>guy like because you're everywhere, but they kind of know

1:07:20.320 --> 1:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>who we're what we're like through you. Thankfully, you know

1:07:23.600 --> 1:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you're giving us a chance to go on your show

1:07:25.040 --> 1:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and talk and play and sing and uh So it's

1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of that thing where like no one's really truly no,

1:07:31.200 --> 1:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what I'm saying. Does that make sense?

1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You're looking at me like you're confused, and I probably

1:07:34.800 --> 1:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>said that confusing. No, I don't think I've ever looked

1:07:37.040 --> 1:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>at you confused. I'm actually listening to your words, and

1:07:39.080 --> 1:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think this is different for you to have someone

1:07:40.640 --> 1:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>actually just listened to you. Really, I said, I'd just

1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, did you Jay go and do something

1:07:46.200 --> 1:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>funny like really no. But I appreciate the fact that

1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>we brought this up though, man, because like, yeah, I

1:07:52.640 --> 1:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>makes Like I said earlier, there's nothing that makes me

1:07:54.960 --> 1:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>feel more awkward in life than knowing that I did

1:07:57.440 --> 1:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>or have ever said something that because I've done it.

1:07:59.840 --> 1:08:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely said and done things that should have said.

1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Remember that, dude, I don't remember that though. That's the thing,

1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>like I would be one would be like, you're right, dude,

1:08:08.200 --> 1:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that was messed up. But like I swear to I

1:08:09.960 --> 1:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>swear I don't even remember that and haven't heard it,

1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>don't whatever. And I would love if you ever come

1:08:14.200 --> 1:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>up with that to play it for me, because I'd

1:08:15.480 --> 1:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>be like, damn, dude said that. But I have a

1:08:18.200 --> 1:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>hard time like I can't like says when I don't know,

1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>like I haven't, I haven't. It doesn't like I'm actually

1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:29.679
<v Speaker 1>over it. You have like like, yeah, that's weird. It's

1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>like it's like it's just like a Donald Trump thing

1:08:32.040 --> 1:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>or something due or like someone was like recording me

1:08:35.120 --> 1:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>while I was saying something. Probably can people do that?

1:08:36.920 --> 1:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>People that to me too. Yeah they fished and it happens.

1:08:41.640 --> 1:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>But you gave me a huge compliment and I appreciate that.

1:08:43.760 --> 1:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>What did I say that I'm human and I still

1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>get to come I come across this human on the

1:08:47.720 --> 1:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>air and flawed because if I don't, that sucks. Yeah,

1:08:51.720 --> 1:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very flawed. And if I am not, then

1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>again it's like I'm not doing my job. And sometimes

1:08:57.720 --> 1:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>if I don't. If you have so much to say

1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>every day, dude, that it's got to be hard anyways

1:09:02.120 --> 1:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to like here's the thing for me. The difference, Like

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I go on stage each day and play the songs

1:09:08.200 --> 1:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>they want to hear or whatever. And each night I

1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>do different things that make the show individually different because

1:09:13.760 --> 1:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and then there's people that come to the like the

1:09:16.760 --> 1:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>same people that come to the show. It's like you like,

1:09:18.800 --> 1:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>there's that that same thing. You have people every morning

1:09:20.880 --> 1:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that listen, but like each day you can like you're

1:09:23.400 --> 1:09:25.519
<v Speaker 1>having to talk about so much stuff that you can't

1:09:25.560 --> 1:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>always be can but that wouldn't be. That wouldn't be

1:09:31.120 --> 1:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>why people wouldn't tune into you. And I'm okay with

1:09:34.400 --> 1:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>upsetting people as long as I'm upsetting them if I'm

1:09:36.400 --> 1:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>being honest. And sometimes I go home and I hate

1:09:37.680 --> 1:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>myself and I go back on the other next day

1:09:38.960 --> 1:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, God, I was such an idiot.

1:09:40.800 --> 1:09:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I should not have said that. Yeah, well that's maybe

1:09:43.760 --> 1:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>what That's what I If I've ever taken anything away

1:09:46.120 --> 1:09:48.479
<v Speaker 1>from your show where I like, I would feel like, man,

1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:53.479
<v Speaker 1>that's that's where that's where I would like, Lie, I've

1:09:53.520 --> 1:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>ever talked about about you on the show, I don't

1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>think so. No, not really, but I mean like, but no,

1:09:59.360 --> 1:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>not me. But you've said go ahead whatever you want

1:10:02.400 --> 1:10:05.479
<v Speaker 1>said what I said about know about me? Like we've

1:10:05.520 --> 1:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>talked before about like when you I've come in and

1:10:07.400 --> 1:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you're like, yeah, Jake doesn't like us anymore, and like

1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't even know what that means,

1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't feel that but here, and you know,

1:10:12.800 --> 1:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>this is how the whole show feels about And I

1:10:14.200 --> 1:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>think I feel that way because like that is my

1:10:16.920 --> 1:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>moment to be there with you guys and talk and

1:10:18.640 --> 1:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>have fun or whatever. And like I'm like, damn, it's

1:10:20.680 --> 1:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>because you've felt it before. I've been in your show

1:10:22.439 --> 1:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and you've been like that was that was awkward? You know,

1:10:25.320 --> 1:10:27.519
<v Speaker 1>this is how our whole show feels about you as

1:10:27.520 --> 1:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a group, because our our show is tight, right, Like

1:10:30.320 --> 1:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>we've been friends for a long time and so and

1:10:33.800 --> 1:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>we fight amongst the show, right, but it's like a

1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>family because we mean lunchbox, Tie and Amy and I've

1:10:38.960 --> 1:10:41.599
<v Speaker 1>been together for thirteen years. You don't stay together thirteen

1:10:41.640 --> 1:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>years if you don't want to be together that long,

1:10:43.120 --> 1:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>right You When you come in, everybody enjoys you so much.

1:10:49.360 --> 1:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We feel like we can give you a hard time

1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:54.639
<v Speaker 1>because we crush each other. Well, pop like that. I

1:10:54.680 --> 1:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like getting crushed sometimes you do, and sometimes we're like,

1:10:59.600 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>oh at he took it a little too like he

1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>took it a little too like we give it to

1:11:02.560 --> 1:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you a little too hard because we like you a

1:11:03.840 --> 1:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>little too much. Know, well, you're I'll give you the

1:11:06.320 --> 1:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>freedom now, you know. But I think that's why. And

1:11:08.439 --> 1:11:10.519
<v Speaker 1>if it comes down owing that, I'm like, all right, cool,

1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>If we really give it to somebody, that means we

1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>really like them. And maybe that's not translated as well

1:11:16.800 --> 1:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>by us because we just feel like, oh, the part

1:11:18.720 --> 1:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>of the group, we can make fun of him, and

1:11:20.360 --> 1:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that's probably on us for not letting you know that

1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:24.439
<v Speaker 1>we feel like you're one of us. Ah, well, I

1:11:24.479 --> 1:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that. But when you come in, man, we go

1:11:27.000 --> 1:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>hard because we feel like, oh, there's one of our

1:11:29.439 --> 1:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we have seen a while, Like it's our buddy from

1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>freaking dude, it's so weird. You don't understand. Like I

1:11:33.960 --> 1:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>get off on playing guitar and singing songs and being

1:11:37.040 --> 1:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the guy that knows every song. Dude. I'm like, it's

1:11:40.640 --> 1:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>funny you were talking you talk about and he's been

1:11:43.240 --> 1:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>on your show multiple times. You're like, this guy is

1:11:45.040 --> 1:11:47.559
<v Speaker 1>a human jukebox and me being a competitor. Craig Cambell

1:11:47.560 --> 1:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and I love Craig greatest, singer in the world. Dude,

1:11:49.520 --> 1:11:55.599
<v Speaker 1>nice rainbow just came outside, beautiful. The rainbow comes right

1:11:55.640 --> 1:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>behind your head, Bobby, Uh, but be being a competitor.

1:11:59.200 --> 1:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, nah, not like, dude, I know every song

1:12:02.120 --> 1:12:04.559
<v Speaker 1>it's a man. But what's weird is and this is

1:12:04.560 --> 1:12:06.439
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. Go back to your show. Like the

1:12:06.439 --> 1:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>girl I've been dating when the last song was on

1:12:08.040 --> 1:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>your show and I forgot what it was like when

1:12:10.080 --> 1:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>it was a few months back. I stayed up, dude

1:12:12.840 --> 1:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>all night thinking of a song that I could play

1:12:15.320 --> 1:12:17.639
<v Speaker 1>on your show because I wanted it to be awesome

1:12:17.800 --> 1:12:19.479
<v Speaker 1>because you have so many awesome people on there. But

1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I also knew too, Like like I was like, what

1:12:21.840 --> 1:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>could I do to be cool cover? Because you know,

1:12:23.640 --> 1:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you're like like hearing like a chick song but done

1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>by a guy, or like a pop song like tons man,

1:12:29.680 --> 1:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and like it literally like and I've never done that

1:12:32.439 --> 1:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in my life. Like I usually like that whatever I

1:12:34.240 --> 1:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>got into rate you know tomorrow. But like I stayed

1:12:36.840 --> 1:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>up and I was still the day when I got there.

1:12:38.920 --> 1:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Driving down there, I was like, what am I gonna play?

1:12:40.720 --> 1:12:42.280
<v Speaker 1>What am I gonna play? I was like, nervous, Dude,

1:12:42.280 --> 1:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I got nervous, man, But that's

1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:45.920
<v Speaker 1>an on i'd be. I would be lying if I

1:12:45.920 --> 1:12:47.599
<v Speaker 1>didn't say that. And I don't know why I feel

1:12:47.640 --> 1:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that way, Like when I go there to y'all show.

1:12:49.720 --> 1:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>This is what I think because it matters to us

1:12:51.960 --> 1:12:54.599
<v Speaker 1>when you come into I think we care about how

1:12:54.640 --> 1:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>each other feels about each other. Yeah, I mean that.

1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I do mean that if I'm being if I'm letting

1:12:59.040 --> 1:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>my feelings on the day, there's a rainbow out outside

1:13:01.000 --> 1:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the window, so you can let it out. I think

1:13:03.760 --> 1:13:06.439
<v Speaker 1>that we both like each other. I think we care

1:13:06.479 --> 1:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>about each other, and so that puts the pressure onto

1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, like we want it to be great

1:13:12.439 --> 1:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>because it doesn't get to happen often it does. We

1:13:14.280 --> 1:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>want it to be the lightning in the bottle that

1:13:15.520 --> 1:13:18.719
<v Speaker 1>we felt like it should be. I think that's probably

1:13:18.800 --> 1:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>what it is. And also, you're weird and I'm probably weirder. Yeah,

1:13:23.280 --> 1:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>And our mutual friend is weird too, and he's the

1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:29.599
<v Speaker 1>weirdest doing the whole world like weird, Like yeah, because

1:13:29.600 --> 1:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>he's one of those guys too that one minute you

1:13:31.040 --> 1:13:32.479
<v Speaker 1>can catch him and he's like totally like have you

1:13:32.520 --> 1:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>go the nexting, he almost feel like you don't know you.

1:13:35.960 --> 1:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's why him and I were so

1:13:37.960 --> 1:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>good together, is that it didn't matter. It was just

1:13:40.720 --> 1:13:43.439
<v Speaker 1>like you want to lock yourself in the room. Okay, cool,

1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:46.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll just watch TV. They just didn't you know. Yeah, yeah,

1:13:46.600 --> 1:13:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Well we've talked about a lot. I told you, this

1:13:49.560 --> 1:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>is a whole different thing I got. I mean, I

1:13:51.280 --> 1:13:53.519
<v Speaker 1>haven't have like the jams over here, like you know

1:13:53.600 --> 1:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>my favorite one this side it's right, I mean, like

1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:08.439
<v Speaker 1>who is Jaco and singing a second ride? It was

1:14:08.439 --> 1:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>this guy that would just I literally I wrote that

1:14:10.760 --> 1:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>song in Tallahassee with a buddy of mine, Eric Durants,

1:14:15.439 --> 1:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>And actually we were part of it in Tahassee. Part

1:14:17.800 --> 1:14:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of it was in a van driving back from Nashville.

1:14:21.160 --> 1:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I got it. He had his tour bus like they

1:14:23.120 --> 1:14:24.639
<v Speaker 1>were on tour in a rock band, and I jumped

1:14:24.640 --> 1:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>in his van and rode back with him to Tallahassee

1:14:27.000 --> 1:14:29.839
<v Speaker 1>and we wrote that song. And then you don't even

1:14:29.920 --> 1:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>like it doesn't sound like your vocals don't even sound

1:14:32.560 --> 1:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the same. But there was I've gone through a lot,

1:14:35.040 --> 1:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>like when I worked with Joey who did all the

1:14:37.040 --> 1:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Florida George a line stuff and all that he actually had.

1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Barefoot Blue j Night was out before before the FGL

1:14:43.960 --> 1:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>like big Cruise thing and all that. And if you remember,

1:14:46.160 --> 1:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not just saying this as bragget some people

1:14:48.240 --> 1:14:50.799
<v Speaker 1>hate the song whatever, but like when that song came out,

1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Barefoot Blue j Night, it sounded just different than than

1:14:55.120 --> 1:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>other stuff that was on the right. People my songwriting

1:14:57.680 --> 1:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>friends now that will tell me, they'll be like, man,

1:14:59.280 --> 1:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>there's times that we're in room and people were like,

1:15:01.160 --> 1:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>man that they're if a blue unright something like that.

1:15:02.840 --> 1:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>When it came out, just it sounded different. Um. And

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>luckily when I met Joey and we did that together,

1:15:08.360 --> 1:15:10.760
<v Speaker 1>he changed like my whole world, my perception of the

1:15:10.760 --> 1:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>people that were listening, not only like like visually from

1:15:15.080 --> 1:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the things the way things changed, but like sonically and

1:15:18.080 --> 1:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>audibly and uh so that guy was previous early stuff

1:15:23.120 --> 1:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that was just I don't know, man, I was trying

1:15:25.160 --> 1:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>real hard to like just to put out a song

1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:30.599
<v Speaker 1>that worked. Like I think when you get a record

1:15:30.640 --> 1:15:33.639
<v Speaker 1>deal to like you in the early days, like you're

1:15:33.680 --> 1:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>so focused on trying. That's all I had. I dropped

1:15:36.000 --> 1:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>out of college. I told my parents I was gonna

1:15:37.840 --> 1:15:41.519
<v Speaker 1>do this. I was gonna like I was like doing

1:15:41.560 --> 1:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>anything I could to keep the glass together, and I'm

1:15:45.040 --> 1:15:47.559
<v Speaker 1>still trying to keep the glass together. I don't think

1:15:47.600 --> 1:15:51.439
<v Speaker 1>we ever stopped. Yeah, I don't think it ever stops. Yeah,

1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>you just I'm just you're constantly. I won't say I'm worried,

1:15:54.280 --> 1:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not worried about what's next in life. But

1:15:56.439 --> 1:15:58.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the fact of knowing that, like something's

1:15:58.600 --> 1:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>not doing as well as pass subly. Could you know

1:16:03.080 --> 1:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel about this one. I love it. It makes

1:16:06.160 --> 1:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>me happy. What do you think about it? I think

1:16:09.320 --> 1:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like you. That's what I've done interviews recently

1:16:13.360 --> 1:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>for this song, and people have said to you there like, dude, Jake,

1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this sounds like you, Like I'm happy to hear this

1:16:18.720 --> 1:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is your new single because it sound When I heard it,

1:16:20.600 --> 1:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's Jake. But people probably also told

1:16:23.000 --> 1:16:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you that he ain't gonna love you. I was like, Oh,

1:16:24.720 --> 1:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>this is We're gonna blow this up too, and it

1:16:26.160 --> 1:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>be awesome. That's why I don't trust anybody, cause people

1:16:27.920 --> 1:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>just tell you what you want to hear. Yeah, But

1:16:29.880 --> 1:16:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I trust myself and I trust my judgment and I

1:16:32.320 --> 1:16:37.080
<v Speaker 1>trust the fact that this song is just feels it

1:16:37.080 --> 1:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>feels good to me, man, and and if and if

1:16:39.920 --> 1:16:44.439
<v Speaker 1>it if this doesn't work, then it felt good to me.

1:16:44.520 --> 1:16:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And I can really I've told you it multiple times now,

1:16:46.800 --> 1:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and I've told other people. So it didn't work, and

1:16:48.680 --> 1:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>then we'll see what happens in where I go from there.

1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>But at the end of the day, I have a

1:16:52.400 --> 1:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>whole lot of fans and I and I make a

1:16:55.840 --> 1:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>good living. Um, I'm able to do everything I want

1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>outside of maybe seeing my little girl as much as

1:17:02.520 --> 1:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>i'd like to. Um. But I uh, I'm getting back

1:17:07.840 --> 1:17:09.519
<v Speaker 1>to what I said earlier. Man, I could I honestly,

1:17:09.600 --> 1:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be happier in my life. Like, I don't

1:17:11.760 --> 1:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>know what I could have right now that would make

1:17:13.479 --> 1:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>me way happier than what I am right now. Like

1:17:17.040 --> 1:17:19.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty comfortable. I finally realized that I just it's

1:17:19.600 --> 1:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>okay to be me and just be cool with it.

1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we should pay each other for therapy session,

1:17:26.160 --> 1:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>but they we'll be back even again, so we don't

1:17:28.280 --> 1:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>owe each other anything. I Mean, someone said to me

1:17:31.360 --> 1:17:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the other day, They're like, it was an interview that

1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I did and this lady said, you, Jake, I remember

1:17:36.960 --> 1:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there was a time where you were telling people I

1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:40.640
<v Speaker 1>read it and Rolling Stone that you didn't want to

1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>be pigeonholed as just the the beach guy, the guy

1:17:44.400 --> 1:17:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that you know, that's all it. And um, she was

1:17:47.080 --> 1:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>like why because that's isn't that where you're from and

1:17:51.040 --> 1:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of what you know? And I said yeah, and

1:17:53.680 --> 1:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I was and not looking back, that was probably not

1:17:56.880 --> 1:17:59.160
<v Speaker 1>this one of the smartest things I ever said. Hey,

1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot of these, and apparently every morning

1:18:02.080 --> 1:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you listen, I say a lot of dumps. Are your

1:18:03.840 --> 1:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>feelings hurt? I like it? Really? Yeah? I love it.

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>You feel like we got real. I feel like I'm

1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>glad you told me that about me, man, because I

1:18:12.840 --> 1:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>was wondering what was like, you know, up your skirt

1:18:14.840 --> 1:18:16.639
<v Speaker 1>about me. So I feel a little better now. I've

1:18:16.640 --> 1:18:20.400
<v Speaker 1>already told you that, but honestly I don't think you did.

1:18:20.560 --> 1:18:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But for sure did remember remember it like an iron

1:18:25.240 --> 1:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>freaking trap. Well, I'm glad you know, at least we

1:18:28.120 --> 1:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>got it out there. I feel good about it now.

1:18:29.720 --> 1:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I felt good anyway. I felt good anyway before it

1:18:33.160 --> 1:18:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Like I was like, you know what, I've also been

1:18:35.640 --> 1:18:39.479
<v Speaker 1>able to let things go as I get older a

1:18:39.520 --> 1:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit more, you know, And I don't think I'm

1:18:42.800 --> 1:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>as beefy and feisty as I used to be. Still

1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:46.920
<v Speaker 1>am there's still a part of it. Well, I'm glad

1:18:46.960 --> 1:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that you and uh, you and kid I got that

1:18:50.200 --> 1:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff all figured out. We did. We went to lunch

1:18:52.320 --> 1:18:54.280
<v Speaker 1>school and you were talking earlier about him on a podcast.

1:18:54.320 --> 1:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's interesting, Like he has must be buds now, Like, no,

1:18:57.040 --> 1:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>we're not buds, but I'm not. I'm not buzz with

1:18:59.320 --> 1:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>anybody but keep and I got into it was because

1:19:02.920 --> 1:19:04.639
<v Speaker 1>it was over the thing. But it's like when your

1:19:04.720 --> 1:19:07.400
<v Speaker 1>buddies with people, like you tell everyone like, this is

1:19:07.400 --> 1:19:09.320
<v Speaker 1>my buddy, this is my buddy, and then when you're

1:19:09.360 --> 1:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>not buddies, don't you know, I don't hang out. I

1:19:12.160 --> 1:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>have no break up with your friends. Dude, did we

1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>break up for a while? Now, Like we broke up.

1:19:18.240 --> 1:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I think we probably just took a break. Yeah, I

1:19:22.760 --> 1:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>just like went out of town probably. But again, even

1:19:26.880 --> 1:19:29.599
<v Speaker 1>with the kipt thing I on the air, and this

1:19:29.600 --> 1:19:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is probably was me probably as you would say, Dick,

1:19:31.960 --> 1:19:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like, dude, stop with the phones. I stop

1:19:33.760 --> 1:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>yelling at people from snapchatting your phone. This is what

1:19:35.920 --> 1:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>happens at a concert. It was. My opinion was it

1:19:38.600 --> 1:19:42.360
<v Speaker 1>probably rude and not polite to say on the radio

1:19:42.479 --> 1:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and not something under DJ would do. Yeah, probably, but

1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it's really how I felt. And he got out of me,

1:19:46.479 --> 1:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and again kept and I both sensitive people, and so

1:19:48.800 --> 1:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I think all of us did do this. You're creative,

1:19:51.360 --> 1:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>we're weird, have to be sensitive. So we were like,

1:19:53.400 --> 1:19:55.320
<v Speaker 1>screw it and kept on. I went to breakfast and

1:19:55.360 --> 1:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>we just talked about it for like an hour and

1:19:56.760 --> 1:19:59.440
<v Speaker 1>a half and then it was like, all we're good.

1:19:59.800 --> 1:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm crazy, You're crazy. I see why you'd be

1:20:03.200 --> 1:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>offended by this. I still stand by it, but I

1:20:05.240 --> 1:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>see why you would be. And he's like, and I

1:20:07.040 --> 1:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>see why you would say that, and I still think

1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong. But it's like we're a good place. And

1:20:12.000 --> 1:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>like Kevin and I were John Merrishaw in Minneapolis at

1:20:15.080 --> 1:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the same time, and he was like, hey, are you here,

1:20:17.240 --> 1:20:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was like, how good was that show? By

1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the way, let's talk about that. It was really good

1:20:21.160 --> 1:20:26.479
<v Speaker 1>because it wasn't the Hits totally, and as a major fan,

1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't need I don't want to hear your Body

1:20:27.880 --> 1:20:29.519
<v Speaker 1>the wonder Land. Yeah, I didn't need to hear that either.

1:20:29.600 --> 1:20:31.639
<v Speaker 1>And he played he went no he but he played

1:20:31.680 --> 1:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Why Georgia. He played Why Georgia at Ours? Did he

1:20:35.360 --> 1:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>play neon? He did? See he didn't play that at ours.

1:20:38.600 --> 1:20:44.120
<v Speaker 1>But he opened up with moving on, getting over. We

1:20:44.120 --> 1:20:46.400
<v Speaker 1>went not the same as seas to me. Do you know?

1:20:46.600 --> 1:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you know him at all? So? Yeah, dude. So

1:20:50.160 --> 1:20:53.040
<v Speaker 1>here's what's crazy. Speaking of Andy, So because of the

1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:55.599
<v Speaker 1>tennis world, that's how I know Andy, which for those

1:20:55.640 --> 1:20:57.599
<v Speaker 1>of you all that are listening is are is Bobby

1:20:57.640 --> 1:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and his mutual friend Andy Roddick, who was number one

1:20:59.680 --> 1:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in the world for multiple years tennis won Wimbledon lamomal Uh,

1:21:03.840 --> 1:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>my best friend Marty Fish and Andy were were all.

1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:11.519
<v Speaker 1>They lived together, played basketball in Boca Prep like we played. Uh,

1:21:11.560 --> 1:21:13.639
<v Speaker 1>we played tennis as kids together. I used to laugh

1:21:13.680 --> 1:21:15.639
<v Speaker 1>because Andy'd be the only guy that like show up

1:21:15.960 --> 1:21:17.519
<v Speaker 1>like all of us are like just kids playing in

1:21:17.560 --> 1:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>tennis fermants. And Andy showed up literally like sponsored by

1:21:20.360 --> 1:21:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Prince Prince, shoes, Prince Rackett, Prince everything. His parents were

1:21:23.560 --> 1:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>like right there behind him. So anyway, a long story short,

1:21:26.200 --> 1:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the whole tennis world and community as they grew and

1:21:28.280 --> 1:21:31.679
<v Speaker 1>got bigger. Um. Then Andy and Marty became very very

1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:35.559
<v Speaker 1>tight with James Blake. Um. James Blake if you know

1:21:35.640 --> 1:21:38.839
<v Speaker 1>you guys don't know, James is African American tennis player.

1:21:39.240 --> 1:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>UM from Connecticut, played at Hartford, super super smart guys retired.

1:21:43.000 --> 1:21:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually the same guy that was standing outside that building

1:21:45.880 --> 1:21:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in New York City and randomly they just took him down.

1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah anyway, um, Um, Thomas Blake and James who I'm

1:21:55.520 --> 1:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>speaking of, grew up in like just outside Hartford in Connecticut,

1:21:59.320 --> 1:22:01.639
<v Speaker 1>right next door to John Mayor. So he and John

1:22:01.640 --> 1:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Mary grew up together. So yes, long answer your short question.

1:22:05.479 --> 1:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Do I know him? Um? Ten years ago, eleven years ago.

1:22:09.320 --> 1:22:11.879
<v Speaker 1>He came to Gainesville to play when I was in college,

1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and I loved he had the inside once out a

1:22:13.920 --> 1:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>little acoustic, comfortable, and which is why I played that

1:22:18.320 --> 1:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>that day on your show. I love that song. Victoria's

1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:23.680
<v Speaker 1>on that album, a lot of great songs, and UM,

1:22:23.960 --> 1:22:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I've told James was like, dude, I'm such a big

1:22:26.160 --> 1:22:28.160
<v Speaker 1>fan of this guy, Like it'd be awesome. You guys

1:22:28.160 --> 1:22:29.799
<v Speaker 1>should all come down. We'll go to the show together.

1:22:29.840 --> 1:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>So we did, and then after the show, Uh, we

1:22:32.880 --> 1:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>went to this little coffee shop together and it was

1:22:35.560 --> 1:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean literally the show was no bigger than the

1:22:37.120 --> 1:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>exit and if not smaller, and we all went out

1:22:39.680 --> 1:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and got coffee together. As at the time John wasn't

1:22:41.840 --> 1:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>drinking or anything. It was like the straight edge part

1:22:43.720 --> 1:22:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of his life and um, interesting human being. He's a duck, sure,

1:22:48.960 --> 1:22:51.479
<v Speaker 1>but that's why he's still nuts. And Yeah, and I

1:22:51.520 --> 1:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>loved the show, Like I learned a lot about it

1:22:53.439 --> 1:22:56.439
<v Speaker 1>by going and watching it. Um. I love the different

1:22:57.080 --> 1:23:01.559
<v Speaker 1>um chapters. I liked the differently Yeah, and that's why

1:23:01.560 --> 1:23:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it's great. Differently but simply And that's the that's the

1:23:05.360 --> 1:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>beauty of it when even when you think of a

1:23:06.680 --> 1:23:09.720
<v Speaker 1>guy like Merl Haggard, like he was different, but he

1:23:09.800 --> 1:23:13.040
<v Speaker 1>was simply different. You know, there's nothing that like there's

1:23:13.080 --> 1:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>so many simple things about John Mayor and the music

1:23:16.439 --> 1:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>he makes and the and the things he plays. Um,

1:23:19.040 --> 1:23:21.639
<v Speaker 1>because I love guitar playing, but I'm a huge fan

1:23:21.720 --> 1:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of drawn to tone and and and and what you're

1:23:26.200 --> 1:23:29.680
<v Speaker 1>not playing like what and like for instance, Love on

1:23:29.720 --> 1:23:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the Weekend to me is was is the hit song

1:23:33.040 --> 1:23:36.160
<v Speaker 1>of that wave of the of that album Search for Everything,

1:23:36.640 --> 1:23:39.400
<v Speaker 1>it's the hit. But if you think about it for

1:23:39.439 --> 1:23:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a guitar player like John Mayer, who's such an amazing

1:23:42.800 --> 1:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>guitar player. That was the first song that they released

1:23:45.360 --> 1:23:47.639
<v Speaker 1>off that album. But when you listen to that song,

1:23:47.680 --> 1:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>other than the melody dune dune doodoe dune doo doo

1:23:50.720 --> 1:23:53.439
<v Speaker 1>doo doo dune, there's no guitar solo in that song.

1:23:54.160 --> 1:23:56.160
<v Speaker 1>How cool is it to be like the greatest guitar

1:23:56.200 --> 1:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>player in the world and not do what people expect

1:23:59.040 --> 1:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you to do. Right, let's go listen. I don't think

1:24:02.120 --> 1:24:03.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a hit on the record, but I do think

1:24:03.479 --> 1:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I do get your point, which it's the hit. You

1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>could play on the radio and it would be you

1:24:07.200 --> 1:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying and be just that kind of tune.

1:24:10.040 --> 1:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying, there's no guitar solo on that song.

1:24:12.520 --> 1:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>There there isn't. You're right, and it's it's an odd

1:24:15.280 --> 1:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>song structurally, is an odd song, which is cool? Uh?

1:24:18.439 --> 1:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>What love on the weekend? It's not Yeah, it's three chords. No,

1:24:22.240 --> 1:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about verse chorus change.

1:24:26.120 --> 1:24:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not you don't put it on the

1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:32.160
<v Speaker 1>radio and it just makes sense. I think it feels

1:24:32.200 --> 1:24:35.280
<v Speaker 1>like something like you can hear like like you ought

1:24:35.280 --> 1:24:36.439
<v Speaker 1>to next you know, you want to do this on

1:24:36.439 --> 1:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>your show, on your show next time. His brother's Osborne

1:24:40.000 --> 1:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and get and get t J to sing like this

1:24:49.120 --> 1:24:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is the chance that this is the radio. Dude, I

1:24:54.680 --> 1:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>do a great cover of this song. You never played

1:24:56.960 --> 1:24:58.280
<v Speaker 1>it on that. I mean, this is like the realest

1:24:58.320 --> 1:25:01.559
<v Speaker 1>song on the record. Say, but the really the real

1:25:02.360 --> 1:25:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is in the blood. It's like does it wash away

1:25:04.439 --> 1:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>in the water or in the blood? Um. I'm a

1:25:08.640 --> 1:25:11.479
<v Speaker 1>big fan of moving on and getting over because that dude,

1:25:11.479 --> 1:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you gott understand that. That's a big part of me

1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:16.120
<v Speaker 1>right now too. It's like moving on getting over things.

1:25:16.240 --> 1:25:18.599
<v Speaker 1>John Mayra was the first artist ever speak to me

1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>really like actually felt my life and his words. Ever

1:25:24.400 --> 1:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in my whole life, I always love music, different music,

1:25:27.479 --> 1:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>everybody from my grandma to the radio, nineties, alternative to

1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>hip hop everything. The first artist ever spoke to me

1:25:34.080 --> 1:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>was John Mayr. It was because he was around the

1:25:37.240 --> 1:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>same age, old but around the same age, was kind

1:25:39.760 --> 1:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of going through the same time. That was like he's

1:25:41.960 --> 1:25:45.040
<v Speaker 1>saying things, did I yeah that you've yeah, Like even

1:25:45.120 --> 1:25:47.719
<v Speaker 1>dating back to the inside once something that my stupid

1:25:47.760 --> 1:25:50.000
<v Speaker 1>mouth that was on there, like you know anytimes, my

1:25:50.000 --> 1:25:54.479
<v Speaker 1>stupid mount's got me in trouble a lot. And you know,

1:25:54.760 --> 1:25:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot about your right, there's a lot about

1:25:56.320 --> 1:25:59.120
<v Speaker 1>his music. That's and that's why I specifically, I mean, dude,

1:25:59.120 --> 1:26:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I had a day two days off. You think I

1:26:00.840 --> 1:26:02.640
<v Speaker 1>want to travel on my name's and it's only two

1:26:02.680 --> 1:26:04.639
<v Speaker 1>days I wait off too, and I took I took

1:26:04.800 --> 1:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend. I just said, I have a girlfriend. I

1:26:07.720 --> 1:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>took her to Chicago to go see that show. And

1:26:10.439 --> 1:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>it was awesome. It was amazing. And the last song

1:26:13.000 --> 1:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>when he comes out and it's all white, the screens

1:26:16.120 --> 1:26:19.439
<v Speaker 1>white everything, and then he walks through the door and

1:26:19.520 --> 1:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>leaves and it's over and it says the end, and

1:26:21.760 --> 1:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>then I tried to run. It's no, it's crazy again. Crazy.

1:26:25.520 --> 1:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's I mean, I feel like he

1:26:27.080 --> 1:26:29.320
<v Speaker 1>could maybe Like his wardrobe was a little weird, like

1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>he had like an oversized looked like he got like

1:26:32.040 --> 1:26:34.519
<v Speaker 1>a black shirt. It looked like he got is like

1:26:34.520 --> 1:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>sport cod from like the thrift store. Like I didn't

1:26:36.320 --> 1:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>even fit him, you know what I mean. But again,

1:26:38.400 --> 1:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>he's weird, But then again like if I could play

1:26:40.240 --> 1:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>guitar like that, dude, I just that's why you like Lindsay,

1:26:44.200 --> 1:26:46.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't She plays all those John Mayra songs for you

1:26:46.240 --> 1:26:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and she's a great That's not why I like her.

1:26:48.680 --> 1:26:50.479
<v Speaker 1>But here's the other thing why she wanted to know

1:26:50.800 --> 1:26:52.400
<v Speaker 1>because we went back to see him before the show

1:26:52.800 --> 1:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and she was like in her favorite artists John Ayre

1:26:55.800 --> 1:26:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to like Keith Urban, John A, Brad Paisley, or like

1:26:58.439 --> 1:27:01.479
<v Speaker 1>the three biggest influences on her. Altho, I've been trying

1:27:01.479 --> 1:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to get her to say dime bag Darrel in an interview,

1:27:03.520 --> 1:27:05.160
<v Speaker 1>just to say it, because I think it'd be so

1:27:05.200 --> 1:27:07.200
<v Speaker 1>funny bart Pantera reference out there. I feel like, I'll

1:27:07.200 --> 1:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>give you a hundred dollars just when someone interviewed you

1:27:09.240 --> 1:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>be like because they they always asked her and they're like,

1:27:11.240 --> 1:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>who are you influences? He's like Keith Urban, John mayor

1:27:14.160 --> 1:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Brad Paisley. I said, please just say dime bag Darrel

1:27:16.120 --> 1:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>wants because he was hardcore he got shot on stage,

1:27:18.080 --> 1:27:21.680
<v Speaker 1>remember to being killed, But he was like, no, even

1:27:21.720 --> 1:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>if they did, please say dime bag Darrel. So if

1:27:23.720 --> 1:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you ever hear that, know that I put her out

1:27:25.320 --> 1:27:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to it, but she wanted to know the pedal he

1:27:27.439 --> 1:27:30.559
<v Speaker 1>used on Rosie on. She didn't want to ask him.

1:27:30.600 --> 1:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>She didn't want to be a nerd. And I was like,

1:27:31.720 --> 1:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I ask him. Care so back and we're talking whatever.

1:27:33.920 --> 1:27:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hey, that's why that. I was like, lindsay

1:27:37.080 --> 1:27:38.599
<v Speaker 1>what eltone asked you about a pedal or a tone?

1:27:38.600 --> 1:27:40.240
<v Speaker 1>You would want to talk for thirty minutes about it?

1:27:40.640 --> 1:27:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, hey, so on Rosie, what pedal

1:27:43.479 --> 1:27:44.960
<v Speaker 1>was that he started talking about it? He could have

1:27:44.960 --> 1:27:46.760
<v Speaker 1>been talking Mandarin to me. I had no idea who's saying.

1:27:46.800 --> 1:27:48.599
<v Speaker 1>But he was like right, he was really into it,

1:27:48.680 --> 1:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and he was like envelopes a sound and he's talking

1:27:51.120 --> 1:27:52.559
<v Speaker 1>to him and I'm just glad he didn't ask a

1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>question to me about what because I had no idea

1:27:54.800 --> 1:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>what he was saying. And she's back there just listening,

1:27:56.439 --> 1:27:57.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking everything like that gets the pedal because she's like

1:27:58.000 --> 1:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>typing into her phone and so with whatever, and he's

1:28:01.200 --> 1:28:03.599
<v Speaker 1>about to go on and we leave and whatever. She's like, oh,

1:28:03.680 --> 1:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I like, if you find somebody, I don't care who

1:28:06.000 --> 1:28:07.960
<v Speaker 1>they are. It can be frankin Bono or it can

1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>be the guy that's right down the corner. If you

1:28:10.360 --> 1:28:12.800
