Speaker 1: so I like bit the bullet and bought a really
Speaker 1: nice like threaded wire cable for troll them. And it's
Speaker 1: like lifetime warranty, which I should probably send it in
Speaker 1: because I was pulling it the other day. I was
Speaker 1: pulling it up and I went to pull it and
Speaker 1: the handle.
Speaker 4: Broke and I just fell straight back. You know, John Boat,
Speaker 4: I don't know I was there. You're kind of jerky
Speaker 4: about like life like you kind of there's not much finesse.
Speaker 4: It's just kind of a forced guy, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: I got places of beef a field guy. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: feel I'm a feel down on the course, but everything
Speaker 1: else is. But when I'm fishing man without talking, when
Speaker 1: I'm when I'm fishing, like all I'm thinking about is
Speaker 1: getting to the spot, Like I'm thinking about you know

Speaker 7: still like four inches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's how I looks like.
Speaker 5: A fish you catch down to like Florida or some
Speaker 5: like Okobe or something.

Speaker 3: That is a that is a pre spawn longer.
Speaker 4: He took some more with their terrible but he caught.
Speaker 7: He was crappie fishing, and I'm like, I've never caught
Speaker 7: a bass bigger than like four pounds.
Speaker 3: I can imagine like four pounds great founder a different fish.
Speaker 3: I mean that's a kicker and sometimes pounds I'll catch those.
Speaker 4: But he caught.
Speaker 1: He said, he was like I felt like I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, like wicked tuna. He's like like tuna fishing.
Speaker 1: I mean he had to fight that thing forever. So

Speaker 4: noticed when when if she ever gets it and her
Speaker 4: voice changed, like writing now her voices kind of scratchy.
Speaker 4: She takes on a new per song. Oh of like.
Speaker 1: There's a little more attitude just because maybe it's not
Speaker 1: because she feels bad, it's because she has a new
Speaker 1: scratchy voice, because.
Speaker 4: She has a gangster mob voice. I've noticed that, like, like, okay,
Speaker 4: here's a prime example. Have you told her this or
Speaker 4: is this gonna be spreading new she's gonna be mad
Speaker 4: at this week or when it just comes out? Yeah,
Speaker 4: this is area just to see how much trashed off
Speaker 4: about her.
Speaker 1: So she'll send us text to like critiquing, like y'all

Speaker 4: in order to be the keep that in mind. But
Speaker 4: it's a different attitude because the voice, it's like it's
Speaker 4: like a little more confrontational. So I'm mad. I'm not
Speaker 4: even mad at that, I just maybe noticed it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Cool, that's a good way to like back off, like
Speaker 3: it is, bring.
Speaker 4: It everything you can be or glad you can be
Speaker 4: glad at something.
Speaker 3: I mean I was.

Speaker 7: Alburn's football team was good, not.
Speaker 4: Good at all. No, I stink miss real bad too.

Speaker 3: The last like ten years we've sucked. Basketball team is good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's been.

Speaker 5: just like, I just I need eight hours. Just give
Speaker 5: me one night of eight hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I feel that. No, it's the weirdest thing too,
Speaker 4: because you'll you'll you'll figure it out when you're when

Speaker 4: four hours and then I was up and hour, and
Speaker 4: then I was asleep for another three hours and then
Speaker 4: I was back up.
Speaker 3: You know. So it's it's like block schedule, block schedule.
Speaker 4: There you go, it's exactly what it is, but but
Speaker 4: there's no real schedule to it. It could be like
Speaker 4: thirty minute section and then a four hour section and
Speaker 4: already could be like two hours.
Speaker 3: But it's not like eight hours of rim sleeping no id, No,
Speaker 3: that's out, that's out the door.
Speaker 4: And it's not even necessarily them like coming in there
Speaker 4: and waking you up. Sometimes it's just like last night,
Speaker 4: Boon just I mean Buck just cried. Each cried. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And I was just like that thing where you're just
Speaker 4: like Griffin. I could get on Instagram, someone really go

Speaker 7: he's like, dude, like, can you imagine missed.
Speaker 4: Oh man, two weeks think about your baby being born
Speaker 4: in two weeks? And then you because in the trouble
Speaker 4: of the conflict of it is there was a lot
Speaker 4: of different opinions on this, and you can't really have
Speaker 4: an opinion unless it's happened to you, and it hasn't
Speaker 4: happened to me. But I was I mean, he sent
Speaker 4: me the text at seven am, Like I was in
Speaker 4: the room next to him, hotel room next to it,
Speaker 4: and I came over there and he was just happening
Speaker 4: right now. It's happened right now. We talked about it,
Speaker 4: like I and and now I'm not saying I have
Speaker 4: saved the day or anything. I mean, Kathy was there
Speaker 4: and Heart was there too. We were all just kind
Speaker 4: of talking and I was like, well, look man, ultimately,
Speaker 4: like here's here's the choices you have. Take off right now.
Speaker 4: You're gonna miss it anyway, because you're twenty four hours
Speaker 4: from more so, I mean like it's already, it's happening
Speaker 4: right now. You know, this baby's coming. Like, whether you're
Speaker 4: there or not, you can FaceTime through the whole thing
Speaker 4: and see the whole thing and be a supportive of
Speaker 4: your bosser. You can that way. You play the show
Speaker 4: to I then leave and it's like, but then you
Speaker 4: got to come back and make up all those shows.
Speaker 7: The pressure of those like stadium gigs. It's not like
Speaker 7: a bar gag exactly, you know.
Speaker 4: And he was torn. He was torn about it, man,
Speaker 4: And he was like, no, you know what, And and
Speaker 4: Nicole was really great about just knocked the shows out
Speaker 4: and come home kind of thing, you know.
Speaker 3: But his head was in a he was I can't
Speaker 3: imagine his head was home the.
Speaker 4: Whole time we were there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And it was tough, man, It was tough to watch
Speaker 4: him go through it. It was tough, you know, as
Speaker 4: he's like a brother, you know, I mean, it would
Speaker 4: be like one of y'all you know, watching was it
Speaker 4: was so I think you're right. I think trying to
Speaker 4: play that out and trying to stay at least within
Speaker 4: a drive you know, drivable.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we knew it was the right decision, and
Speaker 7: like all the all the fans like got it, like
Speaker 7: we canceled that gig and oh really yeah, like everyone that,
Speaker 7: like everyone was like yeah, family first, man, Like we
Speaker 7: get that, you know, because we've canceled gigs before, like
Speaker 7: we canceled stuff for the post gig, you know, and
Speaker 7: and we kind of got some backlash over it, but
Speaker 7: it was like this is real, this is different.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh yeah, it was like that.
Speaker 5: Immediate people like, oh, you turn it on your own fans, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Except there was a really mean tell us you remember
Speaker 3: any mean ones?
Speaker 5: I remember this one. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 5: die this lady out because she came to a show.
Speaker 5: So we just finished our rescheduled tour from the post
Speaker 5: Malone tour. So like most of these shows were these
Speaker 5: shows we canceled, so we had to go to these
Speaker 5: like VIPs and everything with these people, I mean every
Speaker 5: night everything, and they're like, yeah, man, y'all, you know,
Speaker 5: we were gonna be here for the first one.
Speaker 3: We had to see, y'all, but y'all can't.
Speaker 5: It's like that this lady hit my like it was
Speaker 5: maybe in the Muscadine d MS, but uh it was
Speaker 5: like the day or two and she was from this
Speaker 5: I'll give you the night yet. So we announced the tour.
Speaker 5: We found out how this works out. You gotta think
Speaker 5: of the timeline. We find out Labor day. Hey, we
Speaker 5: gotta make the decision by tomorrow. We got to be
Speaker 5: in Utah for the show Thursday.
Speaker 4: So you have a tour booked already, y'all's tour.
Speaker 3: Yes, you get.

Speaker 4: somebody calls it and goes, hey, Postal mottles to take
Speaker 4: you on his stadium tour.
Speaker 3: This starts.
Speaker 7: This starts Thursday, Thursday, and our tour started Friday. I
Speaker 7: need to know so I can tell the bus to
Speaker 7: change her out the worst possible.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's just kind of good problem.
Speaker 7: But it was almost not exciting because we were like,
Speaker 7: how would we even do that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like how how could we pull this off?
Speaker 4: So then so you call so anyways you post something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were like, hey, we just had this and
Speaker 5: that was like a hard needle to thread, because you're like, man,
Speaker 5: there's gonna like it ain't like we're sitting here waiting
Speaker 5: for shows and we got fans, and so it's like
Speaker 5: we're gonna let people down, especially this.
Speaker 3: Weekend, because especially the immediate.
Speaker 5: I remember Minneapolis. Minnesota was the first one and they
Speaker 5: they were it was rough and we went there a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I'm going to Lee was then that was the most upset.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it immediately affected their lives, like.
Speaker 7: They can't get refunds on that type of stuff. We
Speaker 7: can refund their ticket. We refunded everyone's tickets, but that
Speaker 7: type of stuff. It's like, I do have some empathy.
Speaker 7: It's like that is tough.
Speaker 3: What else did it do with mini app story short?
Speaker 5: This lady she just rips us and she tears us
Speaker 5: a new one, and uh but I was like, you
Speaker 5: know what we're gonna these kind of people. You got
Speaker 5: to kill them with kindness and so we and I
Speaker 5: so far down. But it's like after after like three
Speaker 5: messages back and forth, she was like fan for life.
Speaker 3: Like I just lead up. He went back and forth though,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: It was just and I was, you know, once again
Speaker 5: like we're sorry, I'm sorry you took a night off
Speaker 5: of work and you know, you know, like I said,
Speaker 5: well we backed this is a big opportunity, blah blah blah,
Speaker 5: and then every she just kept chilling down, chilling down.
Speaker 5: It's like, I'll tell you what and when we do
Speaker 5: the reschedule, I'll have you some tickets.
Speaker 3: And I and I held her.
Speaker 5: She knew. I saw she had commented on our uh
Speaker 5: sending something like another DM commented on a story and
Speaker 5: I was like I know that face. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 5: just make sure you're coming this weekend. All that she
Speaker 5: came and then she came there, and I want and
Speaker 5: I wanted to every part of me just wanted to
Speaker 5: rip her a new one into her face, like yeah,
Speaker 5: don't talk to people like this. You know, it's just brutal,
Speaker 5: but you.
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 7: The next week, like on our social media page and
Speaker 7: like me and Gary respond to every single DM, like
Speaker 7: to this day, we still respond to everybody no matter what,
Speaker 7: and like we it was like an apology tour, like
Speaker 7: it was like every if.
Speaker 3: It felt like every.
Speaker 7: Tenth DM was like us being like really sorry, like
Speaker 7: I hope you can under I hope you understand, Like,
Speaker 7: but like I am sorry, you know, Like, but it's it's.
Speaker 3: Like an opportunity. It's like you get an opportunity at
Speaker 3: your job.
Speaker 7: It's like I wouldn't be mad at you for taking
Speaker 7: that opportunity absolutely in a raise and in a cooler
Speaker 7: position for for a little whiles.
Speaker 4: Kill that.
Speaker 3: And it's also like you gotta do what you gotta do, man,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 7: And that's like it sounds selfish a little bit, but
Speaker 7: it's like you do. Like it's like we're all ultimately
Speaker 7: trying to all get to the next step and build
Speaker 7: all of our resumes, no matter what business you're in.
Speaker 7: It's like we're trying to climb our way, claw our
Speaker 7: way to the top and get to a position that's
Speaker 7: comfortable for everybody.
Speaker 3: And but you know, I get I get both sides.
Speaker 3: I have empathy.
Speaker 7: I have a lot of empathy for for people. And
Speaker 7: you know who am I to.
Speaker 4: It was probably negative like ten, oh yeah, more like.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, nice, Yeah, that's a great segue.
Speaker 3: Well the sad part is I almost didn't catch it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, almost crazy.
Speaker 3: It was like, well it was more like.
Speaker 4: Get that minute, listen mean tweets are hilarious. The one
Speaker 4: I always think about. So we before this whole thing started,
Speaker 4: we were on Ranella's podcast with Luke. It was the
Speaker 4: three of us. I'm sorry, it was me, read, Luke
Speaker 4: and Steven some other cast. But he was basically focusing,
Speaker 4: Like the focus was obviously Luke. Well he got because
Speaker 4: he's a writer. He was. He was curious about our
Speaker 4: story too.
Speaker 7: You know, and so he was like Janis was young.
Speaker 4: So for some reason, I don't know if it was
Speaker 4: just like nerves or whatever, but I like, I was
Speaker 4: answering a lot. He was asking us a lot of
Speaker 4: the questions we were asking. We were answering a lot
Speaker 4: of questions. And meanwhile, you have this mega superstar like
Speaker 4: sitting there in the corner, you know. And so one
Speaker 4: of the tweets said, yeah, I really enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 4: Would have loved to have heard more from the from
Speaker 4: the global superstar, that one guy that wouldn't talk, We
Speaker 4: do exactly he was about. Man, it was great. We
Speaker 4: love me and tweets we get them pretty regularly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty far. That's fair, man, I mean, does it
Speaker 3: every I don't ever enjoy getting left.
Speaker 7: I mean I think like in retrospect, I do, but
Speaker 7: like it's still it's still like it's like.
Speaker 3: Damn, dude's just taking a shot.
Speaker 7: It's pretty messed, Like you know, it's like the audacity
Speaker 7: that like people have is wild to me.
Speaker 4: Oh that is wild.
Speaker 3: It's wild, yeah, unbridled.
Speaker 7: Like dude, I hate all kind of stuff, but like
Speaker 7: there's not an inch, there's not a fiber of my body.
Speaker 3: That's like I'm about to tell them how much I
Speaker 3: hate that. That's so wild. I'm gonna let them. Boys
Speaker 3: know you can do it, like whateverybody.
Speaker 5: We announced our summer tour uh Monday, and I just
Speaker 5: remember like it's like you now says it's it's hard
Speaker 5: to even be excited anymore because you know the commerce
Speaker 5: you're gonna be you ain't coming here.
Speaker 3: Gosh you are? You probably gonna care't the last minute.
Speaker 7: To far I even told them like I like hit
Speaker 7: him up, was like I just got a ran for sake,
Speaker 7: and I was like, it's like, who do these people
Speaker 7: think we are?
Speaker 3: Like like we're literally doing.
Speaker 7: Our best to play these shows, and like we're going
Speaker 7: places we haven't been. It's like we're we're on this
Speaker 7: cycle where it's like oh, you go here, and then
Speaker 7: you go there, and then you go back to other
Speaker 7: places and you go here, it's like.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you Why aren't you coming here?
Speaker 7: It's like, well we were just there like three months ago,
Speaker 7: you know, and it's like they're pissed and you're just
Speaker 7: like damn dude, like, yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 4: Happy.
Speaker 3: It kind of hurts my feelings, Like this makes me sad.
Speaker 4: I'm trying man, you guys. That's uh, that's that's fun.
Speaker 4: I love hearing about people getting mad at other people.
Speaker 4: It's fine.
Speaker 1: Social Media's wow, it's let's stay let's stay on the music.
Speaker 1: Let's stay on the music side. Then we'll go back
Speaker 1: to it brings back. No, no, yeah, we're coming in. Uh
Speaker 1: so y'all are going y'all just did the post thing,
Speaker 1: You're doing the Laney thing. Where is that stadium? Where's that?
Speaker 3: I think it's like it's like it's like Shed's and Arenas. Okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: that's sick.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like we're gonna be able to do like Madison
Speaker 7: Square Garden and like playing Bridge done with her and like.
Speaker 1: Did you ever did you ever think you'd be like
Speaker 1: where you're at?
Speaker 4: Nah?
Speaker 1: I mean I know, because John's journey sorry to cut off,
Speaker 1: but John's journey is anything but typical in this town.
Speaker 1: You know, like like doing it yourself and doing it
Speaker 1: independently and and grinding at that for so long to now,
Speaker 1: I mean it's on undeniable at this point, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's and you did it grass the grassroots way, man,
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 7: Like when we when Gary and I started working together,
Speaker 7: like I was always confident that we could, that we
Speaker 7: would be successful in some form like if because if
Speaker 7: I did, if I didn't believe that, like we wouldn't
Speaker 7: have wouldn't have we even like entertained the idea of
Speaker 7: working together.
Speaker 3: So it's like I've always believed in it.
Speaker 7: But like, you know, it's it is wild to see that, Like,
Speaker 7: you know, my dream was like man, I wish I
Speaker 7: could play the rhyme in one day or something like that,
Speaker 7: you know, and it's like, okay, we done that, and
Speaker 7: it's like now it's like, well, dang, all this other stuff.
Speaker 3: It feels like a bonus to me. Like it's like no,
Speaker 3: I don't like.
Speaker 7: It doesn't feel real. You know, It's it's cool to
Speaker 7: see and it is real, but it's like I have
Speaker 7: to remind myself, like, man, this is this is special?
Speaker 5: Would I would say prior to the post Malone tour,
Speaker 5: I thought that kind of ship had sailed of like
Speaker 5: getting big opportunities like that, and I was just kind
Speaker 5: of content with like just what we do.
Speaker 7: I like what we do.
Speaker 5: It's we keep it simple. We don't have to make
Speaker 5: it more difficult than it has to be. I don't
Speaker 5: have five people hitting me from five different directions on
Speaker 5: what I should do with my career. It's more just like,
Speaker 5: have we got our little team. If Charlie likes it,
Speaker 5: I like it, we do it. We don't like it,
Speaker 5: we don't And it's like and that's why it's like,
Speaker 5: like I say, we have balance. If like if I
Speaker 5: want to go on a Turkey trip or take all
Speaker 5: a spring off to Turkey hot, I can do that and.
Speaker 7: He's always like cool. So it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 7: it's just we kind of got I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know where the disconnect was with even music
Speaker 5: roa like this is the first time I've been on
Speaker 5: Sixteenth Avenue probably three years.
Speaker 3: But really three years. Yeah, I was thinking the same
Speaker 3: thing when I put down here.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is probably our podcast last time
Speaker 1: that's probably would So it's like it's that that kind
Speaker 1: of blows my mind and beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we're not kind of really in the I
Speaker 5: don't know what's going on in town. I know, like
Speaker 5: you know, the new artists coming around when I hear
Speaker 5: their music and stuff, but uh, it's kind of just
Speaker 5: been so far removed that I thought of It was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 5: this is just what we do. And like I thought
Speaker 5: like if we were going to play an arena or
Speaker 5: we're going to play a stadium, it's just it would
Speaker 5: be it'd be our own thing. But that's never gonna
Speaker 5: happen because that's so like we haven't set but our
Speaker 5: standard we've set for ourselves hasn't been that.
Speaker 3: It's never there. It's never been like do anything to
Speaker 3: get that place. That's never been our mindset, you know.
Speaker 5: And so now that we're ten years in and now
Speaker 5: getting these opportunities, I think it's just like the War
Speaker 5: of Attrition coming into Fruition, where it's like, hey man,
Speaker 5: we've just been doing our thing, giving our head down
Speaker 5: and it's.
Speaker 7: A cool tip of the cap that like some people
Speaker 7: especially people like Post Alone. It's like that's it's weird
Speaker 7: to say, but it's like him being a country artist
Speaker 7: is cool, and it's like it's a cool tip of
Speaker 7: the cap to him to like bring out some independent
Speaker 7: country music act. Like he definitely did not have to
Speaker 7: do that, you know what I mean, he probably was
Speaker 7: advised not to, just as a guess probably, but he was.
Speaker 3: Someone way bigger out.
Speaker 4: Did y'all ever, Like did you ever find out how
Speaker 4: that happened? Was he a fan? How did you even
Speaker 4: get on that?
Speaker 3: I really wish I could tell you the real reason.
Speaker 7: Like I know we have some connections inside their camp
Speaker 7: and like mutual connections in our team and stuff. But
Speaker 7: like Posts like Dug the music, I mean, he was
Speaker 7: he told us like from the get go, like he
Speaker 7: was like, man, I like this Dug y'all, Like it
Speaker 7: seemed like just that simple, and it was like weird.
Speaker 7: We have like this strange backstory with Posts because we
Speaker 7: put out a record, We put out the Country record
Speaker 7: the same day he put out his. We put out
Speaker 7: the Coastal Plane record, And that was actually the second
Speaker 7: time we've done that in our career. We put out
Speaker 7: a record, like a long or not a record, but
Speaker 7: we set like an EP or something a long time ago,
Speaker 7: and he followed us on Twitter.
Speaker 3: This was like eight years ago, like a long time ago,
Speaker 3: and like nothing came of it.
Speaker 7: I mean something came a bit, but it's like it
Speaker 7: was always just like some funny thing we told people,
Speaker 7: like well Postline he was just like a rock star, like.
Speaker 3: It was those early days. But it was just kind
Speaker 3: of like interesting that like they always we're like, oh,
Speaker 3: when Postmone might know who we are?
Speaker 5: And I remember we made this joke the day the
Speaker 5: Coastal Plane record came out. We're like, hey, after y'all
Speaker 5: get on a post We were like, hey, after y'all
Speaker 5: get done with the Postmone record. Next week it's like, hey,
Speaker 5: we're going on tour with kind of like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know how it happened. But
Speaker 5: he is a cool he's a cool dude. He's just
Speaker 5: a chill guy and he's the most interesting. He might
Speaker 5: be an alien. Yeah, like the most interesting man alive.
Speaker 5: Like everything.
Speaker 3: We'll have to just give you a little short there
Speaker 3: if you want that.
Speaker 1: So the new So this the album's dropping April eleventh.
Speaker 1: So this will be out before that. Is that looking
Speaker 1: at the is it kind of like a continuation of
Speaker 1: the Coastal Planes.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: The Coastal Planes and what was left behind. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: it's just like two parts. But it's not B sides.
Speaker 5: Let's get that correct. Let's come correct with that. Like
Speaker 5: it's not like the scraps, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: I know we kind of we kind of try to
Speaker 5: just strategically play something for both both records. The problem
Speaker 5: was we kind of got in this realm of like writing,
Speaker 5: I don't know, our writing process is totally different than.
Speaker 3: I want to hear about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, really then anybody's like.
Speaker 3: Three years yeah, absolutely different. Yeah, yeah, I have it.
Speaker 3: Uh there's no you'll some coffee, yeah no, uh yeah.
Speaker 5: For we've just kind of taken a different The approach
Speaker 5: is totally different. Like we did the whole like, hey,
Speaker 5: let's write three days a week, get the reps, get
Speaker 5: out on the road, and I think you can get
Speaker 5: really great songs doing that. And I think for us
Speaker 5: in the time, it was really good for us to
Speaker 5: hone a craft and right with guys you know that
Speaker 5: do this for a living and get better. And but
Speaker 5: we just started looking at things as like, okay, well,
Speaker 5: what's what's musket ISN? I don't really know what a
Speaker 5: musket ISN boy line is because we're so all over
Speaker 5: the board. We're just like throwing out these EPs and
Speaker 5: then there's no like, I don't know what this brand is.
Speaker 5: And then we started, you know, I feel like the
Speaker 5: Teenage Dixie record that came out in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 5: it was like the first record that we were like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is musket ISN. This feels like something, and then
Speaker 5: we just started going with that. And then and then
Speaker 5: the writing process kind of turned into a well, let's
Speaker 5: create a world from a thirty thousand foot view, and
Speaker 5: then let's treat a record like it's a book.
Speaker 3: In every song's a chapter.
Speaker 5: So now we're approaching the writing room like okay, well
Speaker 5: let's look at this list's song, what what does this
Speaker 5: record game? More so than that, and instead of just
Speaker 5: going a song trying to make and then trying to
Speaker 5: make everything cohesive through through that process and finding some
Speaker 5: kind of like what's okay, the we've been on this
Speaker 5: like geospecific kick of writing places we know about, and
Speaker 5: it's like there's something cool to bring someone to a
Speaker 5: world that you and I know really well because we're
Speaker 5: from here. But how do I take reading dan there
Speaker 5: and give them something where they're like, well, I've never
Speaker 5: been in that specific place, but I know exactly what
Speaker 5: they're talking about.
Speaker 4: Crazy. I mean because I felt that way listening to
Speaker 4: uh Chickenstaw Church Acrist I felt I know that yeah, same,
Speaker 4: I know that parking lot. I know exactly.
Speaker 5: Spot that one's gonna be.
Speaker 4: In my head, I see a small red brick church
Speaker 4: with a big, super black parking lot surrounded by oak trees,
Speaker 4: like you know how some of those are just cut
Speaker 4: out of a little Yeah, I could see it, man,
Speaker 4: I love.
Speaker 3: I love that song, thanks man, but man for me, dude,
Speaker 3: like you gotta.
Speaker 4: Tell you probably can't play it. I wish you would
Speaker 4: play it. Well, let your people say if you can play.

Speaker 4: not get that's one.
Speaker 3: Of those ones like that.
Speaker 5: It's all it's I feel like but it's like that's
Speaker 5: the thing.
Speaker 3: That's like, that's how we made it.
Speaker 5: We tried to make it like and there's this long
Speaker 5: like I'm not gonna give it all the way, but
Speaker 5: there's like we had like a long outro of.
Speaker 3: It's just like a feel thing.
Speaker 5: And this song, this song never goes anywhere, and so
Speaker 5: but which is also but it's all you're there and
Speaker 5: if you're where, you immediately well it's it's also like
Speaker 5: it's a parallel to where it's also it doesn't go anywhere.
Speaker 5: Because we're right there still. So it's like and like
Speaker 5: it's like, how do I write a song? And I
Speaker 5: think as men like you know, us getting all in
Speaker 5: our like emotions is you know, especially Southern men, so
Speaker 5: you know it's like you know, we don't talk about
Speaker 5: but it's like I always want to write a song
Speaker 5: about my boys to where it's like it prompts me
Speaker 5: to call them like that kind of was the concept
Speaker 5: of of that, and it's just like the life we
Speaker 5: I mean, it was just us and like people from
Speaker 5: Mobile like I have heard that song and they're just like, dude,
Speaker 5: this is this is crazy, Like kids from who went
Speaker 5: to high school at Baker. We had a boy come
Speaker 5: to Baton Rouge and see us playing uh with the Baker. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he went to Baker and he's like, dude, that's just
Speaker 5: sick and it's so true. And then we started and
Speaker 5: then we started, and then we started yeah, and then
Speaker 5: so it's like it's all these uh, I don't know,
Speaker 5: it's just cool. And then people met him and the
Speaker 5: guy his thing's been given and we went to college together,
Speaker 5: but he also went to Baker, and it was like
Speaker 5: we just started rapping about the whole.
Speaker 3: The mobile, Like.
Speaker 5: We just went back there and it's like you remember,
Speaker 5: and it's like and then we're right back there.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Bro, we still flip Adamsville off when we dropped
Speaker 4: by the high school. Yeah, hope'll lose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, there was an interview and quote with Charlie
Speaker 1: where you said, we can't control the uncontrollable.
Speaker 3: We just want to enjoy the ride. Like what has
Speaker 3: the ride been and what does it meant for y'all?
Speaker 1: You're going on ten years, You're it's so cool to
Speaker 1: me that hearing hearing y'all play that song like that,
Speaker 1: Like y'all get to go play songs like that every
Speaker 1: weekend to people and sing about your life and sing
Speaker 1: about real things and real things you believe in and
Speaker 1: the way you want to do it, when a lot
Speaker 1: of these cats don't get to do that. They got
Speaker 1: to go do the thing every weekend and and and
Speaker 1: like what the thing you're referring to is like the bit,
Speaker 1: the bit, yeah, the bit the main.
Speaker 4: Yeah man, Dick, Yeah, Yeah, I'll second what you're saying.
Speaker 4: And I'm not adding to the question, but like when
Speaker 4: you pave it your own way and you gain fans
Speaker 4: based on like your actual soul and your actual song
Speaker 4: and the actual craft that you've developed through your life.
Speaker 4: Like I feel like those are lifelong fans instead of
Speaker 4: folks sticking around for a hit. And I'm saying that
Speaker 4: you don't have hits on that record. I think you've
Speaker 4: already put out hits hits now. But to cultivate a
Speaker 4: real band driven like band is a mega hard thing
Speaker 4: to do, especially in the world of social media. You've
Speaker 4: been able to do that. What does that feel like?
Speaker 4: I mean, you have to be proud of it.
Speaker 7: I am, like, I'm I'm immensely proud of what we've built.
Speaker 7: And I think you know, that's something that's kind of
Speaker 7: striking me. Is like interestingly enough, like we don't know
Speaker 7: it any other way. Okay, So, like sometimes it doesn't
Speaker 7: feel like it feels like what we've we were just
Speaker 7: meant to do, Like it doesn't feel special sometimes and
Speaker 7: I'm trying to word this correctly in a way of
Speaker 7: like it doesn't feel like we tried to do it,
Speaker 7: you know, it's like we gary and I just like
Speaker 7: there's this schemon and strategy and there is, but it's
Speaker 7: like it feels such it feels almost as organic today
Speaker 7: as it did when Gary and I were like sleeping
Speaker 7: in the same bedroom, you know, and it's like we've.
Speaker 3: Always we've always.
Speaker 7: Well we've shared hotels. Yeah, it's like I don't know, man,
Speaker 7: It's like I'm extremely proud. I know how blessed we
Speaker 7: are to have this, but I know that we like
Speaker 7: worked really hard for it and and we still do.
Speaker 7: And that is the most rewarding thing to me. And
Speaker 7: there's nothing better than like going out on the road
Speaker 7: and meeting people and seeing them, you know, become like
Speaker 7: emotional to your music or like just songs that you
Speaker 7: made with your friends in the studio that that meant
Speaker 7: something to you at the time, like means everything to
Speaker 7: these people.
Speaker 3: And that's like that's heavy to me, but it's like
Speaker 3: it's cool to see it, you know.
Speaker 7: They and those are those like reminders like, oh, this
Speaker 7: is why I leave every weekend, you know, like that's
Speaker 7: it's hard to leave, but it's like this is why,
Speaker 7: like this is my why you So it's it's cool.
Speaker 3: It's cool to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I mean, arguably, I would say it's it's
Speaker 4: reaching the world at this point. I mean, you're going
Speaker 4: to go to Australia eventually, and you're going to people
Speaker 4: singing your songs back in like a different dialect, and
Speaker 4: that's wacky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: It's wacky. But to not imagine the same things that
Speaker 4: you're wherever you're you're writing these things are making it
Speaker 4: that that far as I.
Speaker 7: Mean, we still can't believe people show up to see
Speaker 7: us in Omaha, you know, like, like that's crazy enough.
Speaker 7: It's like, sure, I would love to go see Australia
Speaker 7: and play the UK one day, and we're doing some
Speaker 7: Candida dates this year. But it's like it's like, man,
Speaker 7: I never thought we'd play outside of Alabama, you know,
Speaker 7: Like I was talking about how all that stuff that
Speaker 7: feels like a bonus. It's like, man, it feels like
Speaker 7: a bonus. I feel like we're in bonus time right
Speaker 7: now in the States.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: It's like, damn dude, two thousand people are coming to
Speaker 7: see you. Name the state, you know, and it's like
Speaker 7: that's crazy to me. It doesn't feel like it doesn't
Speaker 7: feel even correct, Like it's like why do we I
Speaker 7: think people come?
Speaker 4: Seah, Yeah, we said to say that about this podcast.
Speaker 4: We're like, well, I don't know why anybody listening you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's I think it's the time investment
Speaker 5: too that people don't understand. They can't, especially especially in nowadays,
Speaker 5: because it takes We saw our buddy, you know, Hudson
Speaker 5: Westbrook or whatever, he played Billy Bop.
Speaker 3: We sold out Billy Bob's the ten years.
Speaker 5: It took his ten years to do it, five thousand tickets,
Speaker 5: like we sold it out, and we were like, man,
Speaker 5: that's cool. And then Hudson Westbrook comes in and sells
Speaker 5: out and he's been doing this for eight months, and
Speaker 5: it's like, I'm not there was a time where I
Speaker 5: used to be salty about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 5: But he's uh, he records over it Amber Saum where
Speaker 5: we do all of our records, and but it's just
Speaker 5: like in today's day, he's he's like the anomaly of like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's really going and he's really talented, and but it's
Speaker 5: like that's kind of like the standard people put on
Speaker 5: these artists now to where it's like, sure, well that's
Speaker 5: the standard because he can he's actually doing it, and
Speaker 5: so then it just messes everybody up up here because
Speaker 5: they're like, well, man, like my song ain't going off
Speaker 5: to take this long yeah, and that sort of thing.
Speaker 5: And so it's like being you know, in our thirties
Speaker 5: now and been doing this for ten years, and it's
Speaker 5: nice to we're getting these moments and like to open
Speaker 5: for post Malone and Laney and like at this point
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, this is just walking the park. We're
Speaker 5: gonna have fun doing this because like we've been working
Speaker 5: on our craft for ten years. Last thing you want
Speaker 5: to do is muscan Ione play in front of you.
Speaker 5: So it's like that's that's the attitude. That's the attitude
Speaker 5: you come in and feel like, you know, that's how
Speaker 5: I want to feel. Yeah, I got this, I got
Speaker 5: this opportunity. I'm gonna go seize it. It ain't you know,
Speaker 5: taking for granted. And then it's like this is for
Speaker 5: all those eight years you know we're swumming in a van. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and so it's like those are those uh, I don't.
Speaker 7: Know, it's just like but after it's like, yeah, it's
Speaker 7: easy to say now because like, man, look how cool
Speaker 7: this is it you tell you it's like, yeah, what
Speaker 7: whatn't cool for eight years?
Speaker 5: And so it's like it's kind of like you know,
Speaker 5: we talk about like country music, it's like or the
Speaker 5: industry or whatever. It is, like you know, it's kind
Speaker 5: of like you said, it's like it's the bit right,
Speaker 5: you go play the thing. It's like, but the testament
Speaker 5: is true. It's like, if you're willing to put in
Speaker 5: the time, you don't have to play a game. You
Speaker 5: can just go do But but that that concept of
Speaker 5: times like well I don't have time to do that,
Speaker 5: so let me And it's like let me fast track
Speaker 5: or short cut this. Get a team that's doing that,
Speaker 5: and I do whatever.
Speaker 3: This is your life nor answer, no, agree.
Speaker 5: It's just everybody's doing doing their own thing. And it's
Speaker 5: just like we can only speak from the concept of
Speaker 5: like this is what this is what we had to do,
Speaker 5: Like we didn't have offers. So it's like, well, I
Speaker 5: know I want to play music for a living.
Speaker 3: So let's figure out how to do it. So let's
Speaker 3: make a business. And that's it.
Speaker 5: And so it like what Troy says, it's like organically
Speaker 5: in twenty fifteen, I feel the exact same way as
Speaker 5: we did and we were first starting like how we
Speaker 5: move but it's just like I can afford the house
Speaker 5: I live in now, you know, I'm proud of that.
Speaker 5: So it's like, that's that's the difference.
Speaker 3: I love when people say, man, you're lucky to do
Speaker 3: what you do, and it's like, no, man, I'm not lucky.
Speaker 4: There's two things that keep coming to my mind hearing
Speaker 4: you talk about that, and one is, first off, if
Speaker 4: you have if you don't know who Adam Hood is,
Speaker 4: He's an unbelievable writer. Here is a song that says
Speaker 4: it took a whole lot of hard work to make
Speaker 4: it look easy, and man, that is so true and
Speaker 4: I don't think and hopefully this, the podcast that we're
Speaker 4: doing right now, helps people understand how much work actually
Speaker 4: goes into being a writer, how much work goes into
Speaker 4: being an artist, a touring artist, a touring artist that
Speaker 4: can support himself, a touring artist that can support a family.
Speaker 1: An independent torn artists that they didn't have the handshakes
Speaker 1: and across the table contracts that a.
Speaker 3: Lot of people get in this town down like the
Speaker 3: driver was there to do. That's that's what's beautiful.
Speaker 4: The second thing is that and we don't talk about
Speaker 4: this a lot, but I feel like we touch on
Speaker 4: it once someone in our whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 4: stratosphere ends up putting food on the table and socks
Speaker 4: on their kids feet out of the creation of their
Speaker 4: of what came out of their brain consistently. You can't
Speaker 4: tell that song a bitch or not.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can't tell me nothing. I have the power.
Speaker 4: We trenched all the way, you know, to having a
Speaker 4: song on the radio, to having a couple on the radio,
Speaker 4: to being able to you know. And they're like, oh man,
Speaker 4: it must must have been nice, you know. I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: you don't see the twelve years we were.
Speaker 3: Grinding thousands songs the house boat just to eat, you know.
Speaker 5: So it's like those are the I mean, that is
Speaker 5: the reality of this thing. And too, it's like what
Speaker 5: we do collectively, it's so foreign, right because well because
Speaker 5: for us to go right, it's like you got to
Speaker 5: go live too, And to go live it means sitting
Speaker 5: back and doing nothing and thinking, So like, how can
Speaker 5: I explain to my dad, who works on air conditioners,
Speaker 5: just like, well, no, I sat in this room and
Speaker 5: stared at this wall for three hours and then finally
Speaker 5: lightning struck and something came here and I and I
Speaker 5: started chasing something and yeah, and it's like it's so
Speaker 5: they don't understand that, like, I mean even in the
Speaker 5: touring aspects, like man, like you said, must be nice, you.
Speaker 3: Know, being buddies with Luke Colms must be nice.
Speaker 5: You know. Yeah, just like so.
Speaker 7: And like that's the that's just the reality of it.
Speaker 7: And it's just like hey, like and that's not gonna change.
Speaker 3: But it's like.
Speaker 5: It's but we are all blessed, you know. It's like
Speaker 5: you've made like you said, putting socks and your kid
Speaker 5: and food is on your tables.
Speaker 7: Be nice as my favorite, that's my favorite because when
Speaker 7: people say that, it's like, hey, man, if you did
Speaker 7: what I did, you'd have this ship too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it ain't no doubt.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, if you worked as hard as
Speaker 7: we did, you'd be right there. But you're only saying
Speaker 7: that because you ain't got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're mad.
Speaker 4: All you got to do is sound like me, look
Speaker 4: like me, right like me, I say all the time. Man,
Speaker 4: And I know this is hardening to people, but I
Speaker 4: was at a ten year twenty year reunion. Sorry ten
Speaker 4: you know your agent, I'm old as hell. Uh my
Speaker 4: tenure union. A girl came up to me and said, hey,
Speaker 4: my husband wants to do what you do. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: how does he do that?
Speaker 3: And that offends me?
Speaker 4: It is an offending question, even though it's not meant
Speaker 4: to be offended.
Speaker 3: Like I think, I think I'm going to move to Nashville.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like my favorite thing is I give it a shot.
Speaker 4: It's like And what the answer I said was, well,
Speaker 4: he needs to learn how to play guitar and maybe
Speaker 4: start listening to some different stuff. That broadness is you know,
Speaker 4: musical horizons. But what I really wanted to say, what
Speaker 4: I really wanted, Okay, he wants to do what I do, right,
Speaker 4: So first off, find a damn time machine, go back
Speaker 4: twenty years, be fat all the way through high middle school,
Speaker 4: and high school. Bottle up those emotions. Live in a
Speaker 4: glasshouse where the preacher is, the is the community, and.
Speaker 1: A younger brother that's balling out and everything the most
Speaker 1: handsome man.
Speaker 4: Brothers way more, you know what I mean, Like, because
Speaker 4: that's the only way, you know, get your heart broken
Speaker 4: eighth grade and then get you tod on in college.
Speaker 4: And then because that's in order to write what I write,
Speaker 4: you're going to have to go through the exact same
Speaker 4: experiences that I went through to get to that.
Speaker 1: Play well and everybody's got everybody's got that right, everybody's
Speaker 1: got that story. But tapping into that and and creating
Speaker 1: a product from the product that's that is who.
Speaker 3: That takes years and years of not even writing songs,
Speaker 3: but just like.
Speaker 1: Going to that level in your mind and trying to
Speaker 1: trying to grab things that matter and are important to
Speaker 1: you and mean something to somebody from those moments. And
Speaker 1: we say, we do say this all the time, but
Speaker 1: I feel like the depth of your well that you
Speaker 1: draw from in order to write those songs or in
Speaker 1: order to to play those shows or to sing those
Speaker 1: songs deepens with the journey, the amount of journey you
Speaker 1: have before, you know what I mean, So like, because
Speaker 1: we have all those experiences to reach it and draw
Speaker 1: from in those twelve years of barely being.
Speaker 4: Able to ourselves much less like a wife and not
Speaker 4: even considering the family. You know, here's a guitar. You
Speaker 4: feel guilty to make money?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's what we did.
Speaker 4: Feel guilty. You're like, and I say this, I said
Speaker 4: this to somebody the other day. It's like my wife
Speaker 4: shy and she didn't have the dream I have, so
Speaker 4: like she's kind of enslaved to my dream because you know,
Speaker 4: I'm the one I have. I'm the one that has
Speaker 4: to make it work.
Speaker 7: Well, our wives are all in the same position where
Speaker 7: it's like, you know, and that's another part of the
Speaker 7: difficulty of like the time investment of it too. It's
Speaker 7: like it's like my schedule takes priority a lot of
Speaker 7: times too. Like you know, it's like this is important
Speaker 7: even though it doesn't seem like it. It's like when
Speaker 7: you explain what you're gonna go do, it's like it
Speaker 7: doesn't feel that important. But it's like no, like this
Speaker 7: business is such an investment. Like it's like it's pennies
Speaker 7: here that turn into one hundred dollars here. It's and
Speaker 7: it's that time investment you know, that can create some
Speaker 7: some like some hardships in marriage too. It's like, you know,
Speaker 7: like I hate like my wife. She she has difficulty
Speaker 7: with like being like, well I just I just it
Speaker 7: just thinks to like have to like get on your calendar,
Speaker 7: you know, And I'm like I get I totally get that. Yeah,
Speaker 7: but like that's just adulting and like grow as people.
Speaker 7: It's like, and she's great with it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: It's like our wives are the poster child gray wives
Speaker 7: for this type of business because it's not easy. It is.
Speaker 4: It doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, I
Speaker 4: can't explain how many times I've been like, Okay, I
Speaker 4: gotta go play golf. I won't be home till ten
Speaker 4: o'clock tonight, and she's like, why what I wants to
Speaker 4: go play? Like we had plans, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: but in order to do the thing, I gotta go
Speaker 4: do this thing, you know, or go play in some
Speaker 4: tournament or you know what I mean, go hunt. Just
Speaker 4: a lot of time, man fell into y'all slap though, Yeah, congratu.
Speaker 3: Y'all are killers. Y'all are killers.
Speaker 7: Bro.
Speaker 1: Usually we talk for an hour about hunting and then
Speaker 1: like ten minutes about music. But it's kind of flipped,
Speaker 1: flipped the script because the story so it's great, it's great,
Speaker 1: let's get into we gotta get into turkey hunting. Bro,
Speaker 1: What are you trying to kill a bird in every state?
Speaker 1: At this point, I was, I think, but I kind
Speaker 1: of had Yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm like it, I'm in the thirties, but of like
Speaker 5: states have crossed off. But I always told my wife,
Speaker 5: I was like, man, I want to I want to
Speaker 5: kill them in half the states before I have a kid.
Speaker 5: And we got there and I kind of had this realization.
Speaker 5: My buddy Lake Pickle, I don't know if y'all know
Speaker 5: Lake to Primos and we were actually on the road
Speaker 5: to South Dakota and uh we had we killed one
Speaker 5: in South Dakota, and like, man, let's pop over to
Speaker 5: you know, whatever states beside it. Let's see if we
Speaker 5: knock out this one too while we're out here. And
Speaker 5: I kind of just kind of got burdened with I
Speaker 5: was he was like, man, like, there ain't no trophy
Speaker 5: at the end of this thing, Like what's the rush for?
Speaker 5: So let's go home. Like we had fun like and
Speaker 5: so I kind of put it into perspective. I was like, man,
Speaker 5: I do spend a lot of time doing in this.
Speaker 5: I also have a job already that takes me away
Speaker 5: from home. My one hobby like taking me away And
Speaker 5: not to say I'm still gonna go on some hunting
Speaker 5: trips comes spring, but it ain't, especially with a kid
Speaker 5: on the way. Yeah, you know, it's it's kind of
Speaker 5: like my my priorities are kind of changing. Of I
Speaker 5: love to do it, but it's like, hey, they're goblined
Speaker 5: by the house. You ain't got to go to Maine
Speaker 5: to go do it or whatever. Right, It's just it's
Speaker 5: you know, it's like those kind of things. But uh yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean eventually I would love to do that. I'm
Speaker 5: not like, there's probably not many cats that you got
Speaker 5: time have done that. Yeah, and like it took now
Speaker 5: I've kind of gotten like over halfway. I'm like, man,
Speaker 5: if I can knock off of one or two a year,
Speaker 5: it's something. It gives me something to look forward to that,
Speaker 5: it's something I think. It's great for Charlie and I
Speaker 5: and you were asking, like you know how this works.
Speaker 5: We also have activities we enjoy to do outside of
Speaker 5: Musket Eye, away from away from each other. And also too,
Speaker 5: we're not trying to monetize it, so it's like it's
Speaker 5: not business. It's just strictly pleasure. I can't tell you
Speaker 5: how many times people are like, man, y'all should start
Speaker 5: a hunting show, get somebody YouTube you in the woods.
Speaker 5: It's like, well, then that takes.
Speaker 7: All the fun out and it just work with Golfer,
Speaker 7: like why are you filming? I'm like, dude, because I
Speaker 7: don't want to.
Speaker 3: That's not at Adam My manager's not saying that.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying like people are like, man, we'd love
Speaker 5: to see and it's like, ah, well, well that's my time, right,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 4: So I see the show.
Speaker 7: I don't want to spend more money and to get
Speaker 7: somebody to follow me around with the camera, Like, no, dude,
Speaker 7: I want to smoke cigars and hang out.
Speaker 3: It changes in, it absolutely changes it. Give us your
Speaker 3: best turkey story. Okay, uh best turkey story.
Speaker 5: I was in Idaho. Uh this was like twenty twenty two. Uh,
Speaker 5: me and my wife are up there. I got an
Speaker 5: uncle who lives in Montana, close to Missoula, and so
Speaker 5: every now and then we'll ride up out there and
Speaker 5: go hang for So I went up three days early.
Speaker 5: It's and so went up there three days early, and
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, actually I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: turkey hunt for a couple of days in Montana or
Speaker 5: whatever you up there, pulled up on actually started looking
Speaker 5: public land whatever. We end up killing one first morning,
Speaker 5: and so I was like, well, dude, I got two
Speaker 5: days to kill. I'm gonna go to Idaho. And I
Speaker 5: heard some good stuff about this area, and it's crazy
Speaker 5: how many people will be on like you you could
Speaker 5: look up on YouTube and like you can find out
Speaker 5: where people are going for sure. And I feel like
Speaker 5: turkey hunters are the people that are doing that. They're
Speaker 5: kind of like the always like trying to get inside
Speaker 5: access on whatever. But uh, I go up to Idaho
Speaker 5: and it's across the border, and uh get out at
Speaker 5: this spot. It's a bunch of timber, timber company land
Speaker 5: that you can just hunt. You pay like a five
Speaker 5: dollars fee and you can, and there's so much of it.
Speaker 3: Get out. See.
Speaker 5: As soon as I get out, I see I thought
Speaker 5: I saw a horse track and I was a moose
Speaker 5: track and I was like, and now I see a
Speaker 5: bunch of moose can I was like, oh, I spend
Speaker 5: enough time in here, I'm gonna run into one of
Speaker 5: these suckers. So anyways, Rooster Bird that night and uh
Speaker 5: Or that afternoon, and I'm like, okay, I see where
Speaker 5: he's at. I'm on this where I'm gonna get my
Speaker 5: game plan together. This is where he's gonna pitch this
Speaker 5: right over here to this uh ridge and whatever's perfect
Speaker 5: set up. So I get up top early and uh,
Speaker 5: I got my gun facing towards down. This thing got
Speaker 5: a great setup. You know, I got some I mean
Speaker 5: what kind of trees they were? But uh, trees in
Speaker 5: between me and the turkey, so to speak. He's gonna pitch.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing left right, right on this ridge is the
Speaker 5: only opening he can do it.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: But then I'm sitting there and all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: over to my right, there's like this, there's like this
Speaker 5: role in the hill, and uh I was like, man
Speaker 5: like I started hearing something thrashing, and I was like, man, whatever,
Speaker 5: that thing is big. And uh So all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: I'm like, I just hope it's not. I mean, I'm
Speaker 5: in grizzly country cho up there, up in northern Idaho,
Speaker 5: and so uh, it comes over the ridge and it's
Speaker 5: a it's uh it's a cow moose. And they talk
Speaker 5: about like in the spring, like don't find them. Cow
Speaker 5: moose is get yeah, and they got if they got
Speaker 5: up young. And it's even worse. So I'm here twenty yards,
Speaker 5: am I right?
Speaker 4: Twenty yards?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh it gets worse.
Speaker 5: Uh comes over this ridge and I'm like, okay, smell me,
Speaker 5: catch me something, just go somewhere. But at this point,
Speaker 5: I'm like this is too close. I'm not moving like
Speaker 5: and so my little ass is sitting up there on
Speaker 5: you know, against that tree in a mossy oak little
Speaker 5: you know what a leafy's jacket.
Speaker 3: He's looking like a little bush on this tree.
Speaker 5: Well, he don't go left right, he comes straight to
Speaker 5: me and this it stops on a dime, just like
Speaker 5: a deer here, like end of my gun. He's here
Speaker 5: and he starts, you know, turning that head like a
Speaker 5: deer wood when he's catching sent are you by yourself?
Speaker 3: By myself?
Speaker 5: Jeez?
Speaker 3: And this sucker goes you have.
Speaker 4: A bear gun or anything?
Speaker 3: No, this is just so much.
Speaker 5: Exactly what I had. There's a yeah you turkey hunt
Speaker 5: you hear one? Godble it don't danger, it don't matter.
Speaker 5: It's like who cares? And so uh yeah, So he stops,
Speaker 5: broad's eyed at me and he it's like turning, and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, his nostrils just in my gun,
Speaker 5: like my, my goodness, it's it's literally inside of his nose.
Speaker 5: He's just like, oh, smell something here, what is this tree?
Speaker 5: And so I'm just sitting here at you, yeah, and
Speaker 5: like I was, and then all sudden it got whi
Speaker 5: of something it didn't like and it just dark just
Speaker 5: darts off. But I just remember like the convulsion of
Speaker 5: like the adrenaline.
Speaker 3: Him and I was just like it was just but
Speaker 3: the whole time, I was like I was telling my
Speaker 3: uncle because he even told.
Speaker 5: Me that, hey, like when you're up there, like that's
Speaker 5: like that's the wilderness where you're going, so just be
Speaker 5: cognizant of that. And yeah, and then after that, like
Speaker 5: that was my last day of turkey season that year,
Speaker 5: and that it ends up pitching.
Speaker 7: Way down the mountain like somewhere else. I just but
Speaker 7: like that was that was enough adrenaline.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean wow, But I'll tell you what if
Speaker 5: it was a grizzly, Like I just saw what four
Speaker 5: ten t s s would have done right to this skull. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I would have just what will Steven say, rather
Speaker 5: be uh tried by twelve instead of walked out by
Speaker 5: six whatever. So it's twelve and carried buses. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: wish that's that's when it comes to mind or whatever
Speaker 5: that's intent.
Speaker 4: Idaho it's such a great state.
Speaker 3: It's best. It's awesome everywhere everywhere I got.
Speaker 7: I've got a couple of good Turkey stories. But have
Speaker 7: a better deer story already.
Speaker 3: Wait, I want to hear the story. Let's were both
Speaker 3: of us my first turkeys cool, just because like we
Speaker 3: went to Wyoming and we I think I've seen those pictures.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, my first bird ever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And we went to Wyoming and it was snow
Speaker 7: in that morning, and like me just being the guy
Speaker 7: that's like I've never turkey and I just want to
Speaker 7: kill my first bird. And Gary was like, dude, this
Speaker 7: is like it's fourteen degrees. It's snowing, like it's like
Speaker 7: the three am. We're like filming, like joking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, this is gonna be around there.
Speaker 7: We go, we go to this first spot to listen
Speaker 7: and we're we're all just like sitting there and we
Speaker 7: hear like fifteen turkeys gobble and we're.
Speaker 3: Like a group of them, which which at the time
Speaker 3: I was like super excited. Well, part of the year
Speaker 3: is this.
Speaker 7: It is opening opening opening day, so it's April, but
Speaker 7: we got dump snow. It's like it's like April like
Speaker 7: fifteenth or I remember this video and I was like yeah,
Speaker 7: and I was in NWFNWG have filmed and everything, but
Speaker 7: like and I was pompeds because I heard a bunch
Speaker 7: of birds and I was like, oh, this is exciting.
Speaker 3: Like in my head, I was like, oh, we're going
Speaker 3: to kill ones your first ever?
Speaker 4: First time?
Speaker 3: Yeah, first time, and uh what about that? And so
Speaker 3: we hear like fifteen.
Speaker 7: Birds on the roofs like goblin and I'm like, oh
Speaker 7: my god. And then and those birds up there like
Speaker 7: they gobble like real funny, like yeah.
Speaker 3: It almost sounds like a joke, really good.
Speaker 4: It sounds like toy.
Speaker 7: I'm almost turkey, Mississippi turkey. And then you hear one
Speaker 7: from Wyoming and you're like, what's going on here? But anyway,
Speaker 7: so so we're like try to decide to make a move,
Speaker 7: and I'm I'm kind of looking toward Gary because he's
Speaker 7: much more experienced, and he's like, dude, Like he's like,
Speaker 7: this is actually kind of an issue because you don't
Speaker 7: really know which one to chase, like you know, And
Speaker 7: so we ended up like going down this hill and we.
Speaker 5: Heard one like way off and I was like, that's
Speaker 5: when we didn't go after he bubes. And once they
Speaker 5: all pitched it was early season, so you know, they
Speaker 5: pitched down, they shut up, and so but then this
Speaker 5: one's gobbling over here, and I was like, we need.
Speaker 7: That's our guy had down and we're like setting up
Speaker 7: on this tree and it's like the most like coolest
Speaker 7: like western thing ever.
Speaker 3: Like it's like it's dumping snow. There's like two.
Speaker 7: On our bills of our hats. There's like elk walking
Speaker 7: by like in the distance. It's like where are we at?
Speaker 7: Like it's crazy, and but it ends up nothing, nothing happens,
Speaker 7: and like we we get up and we start moving
Speaker 7: maneuvering again, and they weren't really weren't like reacting like
Speaker 7: once they were on the ground, they weren't like gobbling
Speaker 7: backer so.
Speaker 3: Early they was like they're so fucked up like winter,
Speaker 3: and it was it was really interesting.
Speaker 7: We kind of just like saw a turkey basically, and
Speaker 7: we you know, were able to get them front and
Speaker 7: there was like a bunch of trees.
Speaker 3: We were able to just get in front, and then
Speaker 3: he just like headed up toward us.
Speaker 7: So like I got lucky and killed my first bird
Speaker 7: that day in the snow, which was just like it
Speaker 7: was really cool.
Speaker 4: That's sick, man. You got to send us some pictures.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so will man, It was.
Speaker 4: It was it was so cool.
Speaker 5: You know how the Marriams are like, you gotta like,
Speaker 5: you gotta play their game, no goble their heads off,
Speaker 5: no god with eight hundred yards from you, no doubt.
Speaker 5: And so it's like you just gotta move to where
Speaker 5: we go to them now if you get in their
Speaker 5: line of like where they're decided, already decided where they're going, like,
Speaker 5: it can be really fun, but they can also be
Speaker 5: frustrating as hell for sure, get it go.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the deer story, all right, So like I
Speaker 3: just we spoke a lake Pickle earlier and he.
Speaker 5: Gave me a bow like it was like my first
Speaker 5: bow and uh nice, not something.
Speaker 7: It was just me like a sick like Matthew's bow, okay,
Speaker 7: and uh we had like I just like one like
Speaker 7: deer hunting out in Mississippi.
Speaker 3: There you got one, Yeah, you got one.
Speaker 7: He's like, what's the third. It's got the big cams.
Speaker 7: You know, it's a bit too big for you, which
Speaker 7: Charlie on it. And I was like yeah, and and
Speaker 7: I hate this Gary.
Speaker 3: It's like I was like I want to kill I
Speaker 3: just want to shoot a deer with my bow.
Speaker 7: And uh, I was like, let's just go kill a
Speaker 7: dough or whatever, and Gary's like, cool, I got this
Speaker 7: little spot over here, and so we go in the
Speaker 7: woods and we're just hunting off the ground. Like Gary's like,
Speaker 7: let's just let's just chill on the ground. It's just
Speaker 7: good spots in Tennessee. And it's freezing and it's like
Speaker 7: it's awesome and like, I mean, we're we're on our
Speaker 7: knees hunting and like my knees are like numb because
Speaker 7: I'm just like like they're just like it's so cold
Speaker 7: and you're just like on your knees. It's not comfortable, right,
Speaker 7: and you're just like Okay, I hope we see stuff
Speaker 7: or whatever. And I mean there's doughs walking everywhere, like
Speaker 7: it's like, i mean twenty feet from us.
Speaker 3: It's just like action. So I'm like this is already
Speaker 3: like worth of getting up.
Speaker 5: Okay, setting the scene, I don't mean you. So it's
Speaker 5: a lease that I had and rut I found this
Speaker 5: like awesome deer. It's like this it's an a big
Speaker 5: ag place, but it had like this like a big
Speaker 5: strip of timber that went that went to a creep bottom.
Speaker 4: Perfect.
Speaker 5: So it's perfect setup because in the morning, the thermals.
Speaker 5: Trail pulls all the way down, so it's like literally
Speaker 5: I just go in there with the wind checker every
Speaker 5: time I go in, ease in. And so it's like
Speaker 5: we either setting like this trail is prominent, like they've
Speaker 5: been going through us. And so it's like especially this
Speaker 5: time of year, and.
Speaker 7: I told you it's like if we wait a few days,
Speaker 7: like this will be if it's I mean, it's peak
Speaker 7: rut like they're everywhere. And but it's a great setup
Speaker 7: because this is huge, like two log jams that come together.
Speaker 3: So it's like just pinch, pinch them in there and
Speaker 3: you got cover and like yeah.
Speaker 5: And so sorry I need to be on the mic
Speaker 5: telling story, but uh yeah, So it's uh yes, the thermals.
Speaker 5: It's like literally they're setups on each side. So it's
Speaker 5: like depending on the winds going to the field or
Speaker 5: the back, it's like you just move, yeah, you just
Speaker 5: move anyways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so we're just sitting there and we see this.
Speaker 7: We see this buck like coming in like crashing in
Speaker 7: over here on the left, and it ironically was like
Speaker 7: the bigger buck that day.
Speaker 5: It was it was like it was nice and I
Speaker 5: had him. He's probably one hundred and forty five inch,
Speaker 5: not almost like a papa.
Speaker 8: It was not.
Speaker 5: Yeah he wass Alabama boy. That's uh yeah.
Speaker 7: It's like I mean, I've killed a couple of bucks
Speaker 7: in my life that were like really.
Speaker 3: Small, but you know, like whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and but it was like seeing a quality size

Speaker 4: could relive every second of that in your head. And
Speaker 4: how long ago was that?
Speaker 3: It was like two two years.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like that kind of stuff it sticks with you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I mean like I'm looking at these deer
Speaker 3: right here, in these animals, and it's not like, look
Speaker 3: what I did. It's it's for me to the story, dude.
Speaker 1: It's for me to think back about about that deer
Speaker 1: on the back ridge of Wayne County and me and
Speaker 1: Dana sharing that experience and that deer in Illinois that
Speaker 1: we hunted and lost publishing deals over, and it's just
Speaker 1: like that's the Yeah, that's the that's the that's the dream.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: What's what's it like getting to like share your passion?
Speaker 5: It's I mean, it's cool. Well, already I'm being honest,
Speaker 5: Charlie is the luckiest guy ever.
Speaker 3: Will go on it.
Speaker 9: We must be must be nice to believe this, by
Speaker 9: the way, says that about any outdoor activity we do.
Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, we're gonna go hunt public on real
Speaker 5: foot duck hunting. We're gonna shoot a six man, Charlie comms,
Speaker 5: and we did. He came one day. He's like, I'm
Speaker 5: starting to believe it. I'm like this, let's do it
Speaker 5: again hard, which is the hard part. I'm just like
Speaker 5: that deer hunt. But now it's cool, man. I mean,
Speaker 5: I was kind of late to the fold on the
Speaker 5: turkey hunting stuff. I grew up deer hunting, but like
Speaker 5: my dad didn't turkey hunt, so I didn't.
Speaker 3: That was myddad didn't either, So I didn't untill in
Speaker 3: that area.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so now it's just like I quit them
Speaker 5: all just to do these, to have If I could
Speaker 5: have those six seven weeks of spring, I wouldn't hunt
Speaker 5: anything else. I just like, I love it that much.
Speaker 5: It's just like, I mean, I know and people think
Speaker 5: it is, but it's like, uh, that's that's just my
Speaker 5: things are.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's how them are.
Speaker 5: Just that Alabama, you know, Salabama, South Mississippi. It's like
Speaker 5: when you grow up, you can't chase I mean, you
Speaker 5: kill one hundred ten intes deer and in Pearl River County, Mississippi,
Speaker 5: or what have you done something like it ain't there.
Speaker 3: It's just there.
Speaker 5: So it's like you find what I mean. But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's just kind of the culture, and you know, I
Speaker 5: don't know, I just kind of like I just fell
Speaker 5: into that and not like I don't have any like hobbies,
Speaker 5: Like I only have like four things I really just
Speaker 5: love to do. One of them just happens to be
Speaker 5: songwriting and playing music. Now that's turkey hunting. And it's
Speaker 5: like so it's like like this last dear season, I
Speaker 5: went twice and then I went during the run, I
Speaker 5: just went up and bummed on some public land close
Speaker 5: to y'all's neck of the woods, and I passed on
Speaker 5: like this small, little cold It looked like a little
Speaker 5: eight point because I was like two miles deep in there,
Speaker 5: and I full drawed on them and everything, and I
Speaker 5: was like, man, this is just gonna be a hassle.
Speaker 7: I've passed on a couple of deers and I just
Speaker 7: drawed it back, and it's like, you know, look, yeah,
Speaker 7: especially I wouldn't if I was in like Nebraska, if
Speaker 7: I was like on a trip, or you know, if
Speaker 7: you're in your backyard and you're you're your hunt leaves
Speaker 7: and missip or whatever.
Speaker 5: It's like, you know, I remember y'all used to get
Speaker 5: onto James and Rogers, the six point Killers. Dude, I
Speaker 5: sling one on his spike.
Speaker 3: I don't give a rip.
Speaker 7: Would fit good in the hunting club. I'm in the
