00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, it's Kaylie Short and this is too much

00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: to say asking questions. Now tell it out you Yeah. Okay,

3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: So just a warning, the Audio Colony is not going

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: to be up to its normal car this week because

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: I am coming to you from the middle of nowhere, Texas.

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I am driving to Los Angeles, and I have left

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Nashville behind at least until I'm back in like two weeks.

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: But the move is officially started. I'm very excited my cats.

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: I've only thrown up about three times altogether. There's a

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a p incident. Um yeah, traveling across

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the country with cats, I wouldn't recommend doing it unless

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: it's out of share necessity, which in this case it is,

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: but they're precious and um yeah. So yeah, so we're

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm driving, Um, I'm about to go to Dallas spend

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the night there. I'm trying to do as much on

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: the way there as i can while still like staying

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: on a schedule where I could get to l a

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: like as soon as possible. But I'm glad to see

19
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: my aunt who lives like a little more of Dallas,

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: and she'll get to meet my boyfriend Sam easier. He's

21
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: sleeping um. And then where I have a couple of

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: fun stops specifically, and oh, we're staying at this place

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: in Albuquerque and it is a filming location for Breaking Bad.

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I did not believe Sam when I was looking on

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Airbnb and he was like, Oh my god, that's like

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: a place from Bringing Bad. And I was like, no

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: way they would have it in the title if it

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: was like from No Shot and No Shot would be

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: this inexpensive. And um, I read the description and it

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: absolutely was so five points to Sam for that one.

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: And then we're going to Arizona or to see the

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon for the first time, and then we're doing

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: a couple of places that I've already done there. I

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: actually really freaking love Arizona. I think it's so cool.

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: It's very hot. But um, we're going to Sedona to

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: see the Psychic vor Texas if you haven't heard of

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: those incredible fun fact. Also, the word for Texas is

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: not a word. It is only used in the context

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: of the title of these Psychic Vortexes, but that's what

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: they're called. So um. And then we're going to go

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: to this ghost town called Jerome and one of the

42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: guys who's in the band Tool. It's a literal ghost town.

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: It used to be population and now it's like under

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: five hundreds, so it's classified officially as a ghost city.

45
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: And there's like a bunch of ruins that still remain

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: in like there's an old jail and there's still like

47
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: a bed in this old eighteen hundreds jail. Very cowboy vibes.

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: But one of the guys in Tool has a store there,

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: and it's just like this like rock and roll store

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of a ghost town, and like people definitely,

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,279
Speaker 1: like tourists definitely go there. It's not like a unexplored

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: ghost town, but it is very, very very cool and

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: some getting to show say on a lot of these

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: places they've seen while I've been on tour, and I

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: really thought about that. And then we will get to

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: l A. We're doing like mostly like Root sixty six

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: after Arizona said that, I'll be really fun and then um,

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to l A on Saturday. Then then like

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: this new phase of my life starts. But it's it's crazy,

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm in this interesting like mental space

61
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: right now because Nashville is so important to me for

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: so long and leaving it is hitting harder. I was

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: kind of in a weird mood all this past week,

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's just because I'm realizing how much

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: I've changed and how much my life has changed. My

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: relationships have changed, and even my goals have changed, and

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: so like, you know, looking at this big of of

68
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say change again. I

69
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: can't think another word. Um, this big of a like move, mom,

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: that's another good work for it. This big of a

71
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: move is like really cementing how much and everything is

72
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: different than it was when I was national years So

73
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit more about that. We're a

74
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: different break. I would just like to apologize once again

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: for the audio quality. There's a lot of construction happening

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: right here. So it's just like Poplo city. I don't

77
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: know what town I'm in, but it's a potlo city.

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, so all of that being said, like Nashville

79
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: was such a huge, huge change for me from my small,

80
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: you know city that I'm from Portland, Maine, which is beautiful.

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: It's on the coast. It's amazing, but it's also like

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: there's no music scene. Everybody knows everybody, everybody's related to everybody.

83
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: And when I moved to Nashville right after high school,

84
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I was like looking around and I was just dumbfounded

85
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: how big it was. And I was like, there's no

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: way I'm ever going to explore this whole city. There's

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: no way. And then you know, nine years later, I'm like, Okay,

88
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: well I've seen I've seen quite a bit of it,

89
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and that being sad, I've seen a lot of the

90
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: really good parts of it, but a lot of the

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: really bad parts of it too, And I'm personally very

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: excited to have some space from that because I want

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: to be able to miss Nashville again. I want to

94
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: be able to I want to be able to look

95
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: at it and think fondly of it and not just

96
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: be like hit in the phase with all these horrible

97
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: memories and like relationships gone wrong and friendships gone wrong

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: and all of this stuff that happened there. And I

99
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: know that it's not all Nashville's fault. I mean, that

100
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: ship just happens in your early twenties, like Perry it,

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: but it definitely some of it's Nationals fault. And this

102
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: is also my first time in since twenty four team

103
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: because it's my first time. It's not playing songs oft

104
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: for Deutsu at cmafest or playing Smifest in journal. So

105
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: that's an interesting feeling too, because if you guys have

106
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: ever been to Cifest and see me play, or you've

107
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: been to my fan club party that I've had every year,

108
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: it's such a special time. But I'm in this like

109
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: in between, like am I doing country? Am I not

110
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: this genre? Even matter? Do I have to pick? I

111
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I literally changed my Instagram bio yesterday too.

112
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, ask me later. And that's pretty much

113
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: my life motto right now. But it's just weird to see,

114
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, this thing that I used to look forward

115
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: to would be so like participate so actively and then

116
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: just like not be doing it and instead to be

117
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: moving now life. I don't think I would have believed

118
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: you if you told me that this was going to happen.

119
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm even think I would have believed you. Like last year,

120
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, no way, And but I mean I made

121
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: up my mind this past February. I was just like,

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: I gotta do it, and yeah, sometimes you have to

123
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: light your world on fire. Sometimes you just have to

124
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: do it. And I am a big proponent of that.

125
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: I think all of the best things that have happened

126
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: to me have come from me taking a huge jump

127
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: that scared the ship out of me and just like

128
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: figuring everything else out later. Like, truthfully, can I afford

129
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: to move to Los Angeles? No, I really can't. I'm

130
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: a musician and I still not have not been able

131
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: to tour like full time as I was able to

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: uh pre pandemic. Um, I cannot afford to move to

133
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles right now, but I just like to do

134
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: it anyways, assuming everything will fall into place. And um,

135
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: it did end up calling into place a little bit,

136
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: especially with the whole like getting hit by a garbage

137
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: truck and then getting a new car in talkinging some

138
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: of the insurance prepare money, what you're allowed to do?

139
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: You are allowed to do that, by the way, Um

140
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: so that worked out about as well as getting hit

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: by a dump truck could. But yeah, things fall into place,

142
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: and even like Nashville, like I mean, I don't. Here's

143
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: the thing. I have a friend who wants to move

144
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: to l A. And he's been talking about it for

145
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: a really long time and he's like, Oh, I'm just

146
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: like waiting to have enough money and I'm like, dude,

147
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: you are never You're never going to have enough money

148
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: to move across the factory. You're never going to have

149
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: enough money to do that. There's like what's the right amount?

150
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: You know, you have to just do it and figure

151
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: it out, and you might have to do ridiculous things

152
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: for money, um, but you just have to You just

153
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: have to do it. Like I mean obviously, like you

154
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: have you know enough for like rent and like the

155
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: gas to get there, but you just have to believe

156
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: that it's all going to work out, because like, no

157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: amount of cushion is going to be enough to convince

158
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: you that you can uproot your life. You just have

159
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: to be convinced that you're gonna uproot your life and

160
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: it'll all work out. And truthfully, poor people move across

161
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: the country to Los Angeles every single fucking day so

162
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: that they become famous and not pour anymore. And um, yeah,

163
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: people make it work. It's like thinking it and it

164
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: feels very very weird. So obviously, these past few episodes

165
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: have been a little bit different than the normal format.

166
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: You know, there hasn't been any interviews, and I haven't

167
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,920
