Speaker 1: ways to blow me off on a regular racist. I'm busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta go to the bathroom several times a day.
Speaker 1: I just combed my hair. I brushed my teeth. It's
Speaker 1: a fine time. Between all that. There's a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: I love you. I just wanted to wait until you know,
Speaker 1: I got my own studio. Yes, okay, and better lighting

Speaker 1: got some guys in the behind the cameras right now.
Speaker 1: You gotta do the serum, Sirium. Then you go age
Speaker 1: defender right here, around here and then you go, you know,
Speaker 1: your your standard lotion. Do you do this every day?
Speaker 1: Twice a day? I just started about two months ago.
Speaker 1: Have you noticed the difference. You don't seem like there's
Speaker 1: any wrinkles in your face? Thank you so much. Wait
Speaker 1: till I laugh and smile, though, then you will see them.
Speaker 1: There's a laugh line though. Yeah. I look back now.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm really old now, like I'm talking like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're about to be forty. That's why
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian never smiles. I'm telling you because the lines.
Speaker 1: People don't And there's girls that are in her twenties
Speaker 1: doing botox now, right, They say to prevent it's preventative. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing. I'm a little late to the party,
Speaker 1: but guys should be. I should be about ten years later.
Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't gone botox. I don't think i'll
Speaker 1: ever go botox route. I don't love guys with botox.
Speaker 1: Even though I know your image, I don't know they
Speaker 1: got botox because you can kind of tell because it's
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Like when guys, here's here's what goes away
Speaker 1: when you get botox. You have no lines. On the
Speaker 1: side and your forehead is frozen. And once you know that,
Speaker 1: you can see it like see, like I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: I'm not really raising my eyes. Can you tell? So
Speaker 1: you do botox? Yeah? Don't. Bow talks about how long
Speaker 1: you've been doing bot talk? Oh see, I started a
Speaker 1: little younger. You know Taylor Lynn, my former bandmate, she
Speaker 1: was seven years older than me, so she got me started.
Speaker 1: When that's why you can't hang out with older chicks,
Speaker 1: I know, because they get you into all their stuff
Speaker 1: and then you start talking older, acting older, acting older,
Speaker 1: doing older things right again, bo talks. Actually, you know
Speaker 1: you're in a wheelchair, right and your thirty five? You
Speaker 1: got a walker with two little tennis balls in the front.
Speaker 1: So what's the moral of this story? Don't do botox
Speaker 1: unless you absolutely have to? Or good to Keels. I'm
Speaker 1: not sponsored by Keels, but I should should be. I
Speaker 1: should be because that's it's expensive. Can I cuss on
Speaker 1: your podcast? Ship is expensive? That ship is expensive? I
Speaker 1: sorry to get that out of my first cuss word.
Speaker 1: I win. It wasn't a bad one though, pretty good.
Speaker 1: Would you like to cuss? I love the cuss? What's
Speaker 1: your favorite cuss? Word. Oh jeez um, probably, I mean
Speaker 1: I want to be I want to be a somewhat
Speaker 1: sophisticated up here. The F word is my favorite one.
Speaker 1: I'll go for that one. Happy or sad or mad? Right,
Speaker 1: it's biting for everything. Yes, I preferred happy. If you
Speaker 1: say when you're happy, you're having a good time, somewhat goodfense. Okay,
Speaker 1: So can I ask you a few rapid fire questions?
Speaker 1: Those weren't rapid fire, We're not. That was just combo.
Speaker 1: Let's go what energizes you? Uh? Monster energy drink? Oh
Speaker 1: you throw those back as healthy as you are. You
Speaker 1: drink three today? You're like training for an iron man? Right? Well, yeah, Octobery,
Speaker 1: you've already done one before. Yes, I did one in Honu,
Speaker 1: Hawaii last year. What goes on with that swim bike run?
Speaker 1: Do you have just like a ton of energy to
Speaker 1: put places? Because that is it's almost crazy that you're
Speaker 1: doing that again for the second time, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a lot of training. How did
Speaker 1: you get this bug to do that? My buddy was
Speaker 1: I went to college with because I played baseball in college,
Speaker 1: so I was I missed that competitive edge, so I wanted.
Speaker 1: I wanted something more. I wanted something to drive me
Speaker 1: and something to like a real physical challenge. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wanted something to make me good because I've never been
Speaker 1: a meat head. Like, I don't want to go to
Speaker 1: the gym just to look good on the beach. I
Speaker 1: want to go to the gym and be healthy for
Speaker 1: a for a lifestyle change, right. So, but I also
Speaker 1: wanted to have a competitive edge to it, so I
Speaker 1: wanted to. I jumped into triathlons because my buddy did.
Speaker 1: From college, he did sprint triathlon. So of course I said, well,
Speaker 1: I gotta go a step further and say I'll just
Speaker 1: do iron Man's because that's like the highest you can
Speaker 1: get in triathlon. Yeah, iron Man is, here's a full
Speaker 1: and a half iron Man. I do a lot of
Speaker 1: half iron Man's. Full iron Man's are They're tough on
Speaker 1: your body. This will be my October will be my
Speaker 1: fourth iron Man. I'm doing half half. I have to
Speaker 1: tell everybody that because I made the mistake and he said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing the iron Man honey, and they're like, and
Speaker 1: so of course people that do the iron Man's are like, dude,
Speaker 1: that's only the half iron man haters getting on there?
Speaker 1: So tell me what happens in the half iron Man.
Speaker 1: This is half the distance of the full iron Man,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what the full one point two
Speaker 1: mile swim, This half iron Man at one point two
Speaker 1: mile swim, fifty six mile bike and I still want
Speaker 1: to get you. And then the half a half marathon
Speaker 1: one all in succession. So do you have a favorite
Speaker 1: one that you like? Running the very end sooners and
Speaker 1: then I get a beer. I would say, what do
Speaker 1: you do when you finish? I give them a little
Speaker 1: metal and I grab a beer. Do you let yourself
Speaker 1: walk or do you let yourself take breaks? Or is
Speaker 1: it important to you that you just do the whole thing? Now?
Speaker 1: You go for it, You go for it, You gotta
Speaker 1: go for it. Wow, that's a lot of drive you
Speaker 1: got there. That's exciting. That is exciting. Okay, would you
Speaker 1: ever do that? Would you ever do it? I did
Speaker 1: a half marathon, counts did have marathon, and I have
Speaker 1: done a train for Amazing race twice, so I think
Speaker 1: I could do it, but I don't have the desire
Speaker 1: to do it. Amazing Race is more of a game, though,
Speaker 1: That's not like you're you say so, but you have
Speaker 1: no idea how exhausting amazing. I saw clips of you
Speaker 1: on amazing race, and I was like, you thought it
Speaker 1: was just easy. It looks like Jennifer's hold not most
Speaker 1: of the way. On this one, we had a lot
Speaker 1: of did you win? We lost by four seconds and
Speaker 1: you're on twice both times, so you lost both times.
Speaker 1: We got fourth place the first time, we got second place,
Speaker 1: the second time we lost by four seconds the second time.
Speaker 1: That's crazy awful. Did you were you the slow one? No?
Speaker 1: I was the man of the relationship. I like Jin
Speaker 1: was my damsel. I used to tell her all the time.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're my bride. I'm taking care of
Speaker 1: you because Jin is so smart in her head. She's
Speaker 1: good at figuring things out, but she like physically she
Speaker 1: would love to be cruising in a train with a
Speaker 1: glass of wine while the people are doing the running activities.
Speaker 1: You know, Jennifer Wayne is who we're talking about, my
Speaker 1: former bandmate is a fast walker but a slow runner.
Speaker 1: How do you know this? Do you just have to
Speaker 1: kind of look at her for about ten seconds and
Speaker 1: figure it out? Like she walk very fast running I
Speaker 1: don't see her running very fast? How did you even
Speaker 1: know to have that thought? I don't know. Is that
Speaker 1: what you think about when you see people? Was like,
Speaker 1: I wonder you like pin them when they're walking running speed? No,
Speaker 1: it's just this, just this instance right now. I was like,
Speaker 1: she's a fast I figured her out. We should call
Speaker 1: her and tell her. She's probably been wondering your whole life?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like running? No? Just walk really faster here?
Speaker 1: All right? Wait? You crazy? Okay? What exhaust you? Um?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm very impatient? Okay, so um, I get
Speaker 1: impatient a lot, and I just want to move on
Speaker 1: from from whatever is happening. Like what do you normally
Speaker 1: get impatient about waiting, just waiting around for anything? Is
Speaker 1: it normally career focus or is it just all aspects
Speaker 1: of life? No? I got I gave up on on
Speaker 1: the putting time into the career part a long time ago.
Speaker 1: I just said, I just figured it. If it's going
Speaker 1: to happen, it's going to happen. When do you reach
Speaker 1: that point? Because you have such a colorful career, which
Speaker 1: I think is so exciting because you moved to town
Speaker 1: from Potato farm a singer and now you're still a singer. Obviously,
Speaker 1: but you're also hosting a morning show, one of the
Speaker 1: biggest ones in the nation. You're training for iron Man,
Speaker 1: and well, I guess you just do morning show and
Speaker 1: sing um. Do you have any other jobs? I don't
Speaker 1: know about. I don't have any time for well, I
Speaker 1: mean I would, I would love to. I've written, you know,
Speaker 1: I've read some scripts for movies and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It would be a great actor. You have the faith
Speaker 1: for an acting and the person that you'd be funny,
Speaker 1: that would really screw people up. And that guy has
Speaker 1: got a face to written up because you know, you
Speaker 1: get into radio radio, radio, and it was like, that's
Speaker 1: so rude, and people save face, right. I think that
Speaker 1: that's changed though a lot. There's a lot of good
Speaker 1: looking people in radio. There is, Yeah, you're in radio.
Speaker 1: That kind of discount, Yeah, sort of discount. I would
Speaker 1: count it. So, But you started off I got away
Speaker 1: from the question. The question is is what I think
Speaker 1: is so cool about someone like you is you're a
Speaker 1: perfect example of how you moved to town to be
Speaker 1: a singer. You're obviously a singer, You've had great success
Speaker 1: of that, but now you just got this opportunity through singing.
Speaker 1: It opened the door to becoming a great, huge radio
Speaker 1: host for a morning show. So I think that is
Speaker 1: so crazy. How to evolve, It is crazy. It's scary
Speaker 1: the music business. Oh hell, I know what it was
Speaker 1: that you said, you gave up worrying about career. So
Speaker 1: why did that happen? Well through I remember through my
Speaker 1: first single, which was called Stealing Cinderella, which my dad
Speaker 1: still pulls over the side of the the road and has
Speaker 1: to cry. Really, he has two daughters. It's the one
Speaker 1: song in all of country music. And I'm not just
Speaker 1: saying this, I've told you before. It hits him so
Speaker 1: hard he can't handle it. That's awesome. You know. It's
Speaker 1: funny about that song is when I first started touring around,
Speaker 1: it a lot of people because they didn't know, uh
Speaker 1: you know, they couldn't They heard it on the radio,
Speaker 1: but they didn't know what the guy looked like that
Speaker 1: was singing it, and a lot of people thought I
Speaker 1: was an older dude, like an older man really, because
Speaker 1: it's it's such a I've evolved a lot since that
Speaker 1: first record, um vocally where I wanted to be, and
Speaker 1: that song in particular is more of a very traditional
Speaker 1: older sounding song. Yeah, So It was interesting because I
Speaker 1: remember people coming Mary and I thought you'd be a
Speaker 1: lot older, and you just you just a young pup there.
Speaker 1: How do you know we're talking about Cinderella? May you
Speaker 1: got no cubes? Was that written about someone in particular? Well?
Speaker 1: I was. I wrote that I was dating a girl,
Speaker 1: um that played Cinderella at Walt Disney World, so it
Speaker 1: kind of was inspired by her job. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: the guys I sing Cinderella, Well I never did. We
Speaker 1: never did get engaged or anything, but um, the idea
Speaker 1: stemmed from that. And the two guys that I wrote
Speaker 1: it with, Rivers Rutherford and George Tarrant. They are awesome writers. Um. Actually,
Speaker 1: I like hand picked these guys to do it with
Speaker 1: because I knew they would be perfect for the story
Speaker 1: because they wrote when I get where I'm going for
Speaker 1: Bret Paisley, I'm like, oh, these guys are true storytellers.
Speaker 1: So grabbed them, told him the story and they have daughters,
Speaker 1: so that's where it all kind of perfect. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: all mixed it in. Song gets all the heart strings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool. It's cool to see. I get a lot
Speaker 1: of it was a big wedding song, so cool to
Speaker 1: hear that. So how did your music career it kept evolving,
Speaker 1: and then how did this radio thing pop in? And
Speaker 1: when did you surrender worrying about it? There's so many questions.
Speaker 1: I know, I like to give him there and they
Speaker 1: answer your own pace. It's interesting. I moved the town
Speaker 1: where I grew up on a farm potato fries. I
Speaker 1: do love fries. I love fries. I asked my dad
Speaker 1: when I was twelve years old, and I was dead serious,
Speaker 1: and I thought he was gonna be like no. And
Speaker 1: I got so excited because he says, I asked him
Speaker 1: to goat do we supply the French fries? I was involved?
Speaker 1: Do we supply the French fries for all the McDonald's
Speaker 1: he goes, Actually, yes, he goes in the Try state area.
Speaker 1: We're Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, that area, Maryland, New York.
Speaker 1: We supplied a lot of the McDonald's with potatoes for
Speaker 1: their French fries. Oh my god. So that was like
Speaker 1: the really that was a big cool factor, major claim
Speaker 1: to fame. Yeah, I mean I walked around the halls
Speaker 1: of high school and like, you guys, get McDonald's after this.
Speaker 1: You're welcome, you know, are you on a large fry.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Yeah, grew those um and then we had
Speaker 1: to sell the farm. Depressing. Yeah, was it sad? Why
Speaker 1: did you sell the farm? Weren't making any money. They
Speaker 1: grew their own potatoes, potatoes, So we grew out this stuff.
Speaker 1: We were We did barley corn. We were grain farmers.
Speaker 1: Officially we would be called grain farmers, but concentrated potatoes.
Speaker 1: Long story short, went to Florida to play baseball. That
Speaker 1: was my original dream. Okay, so you're a baseball player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted it. First base. That's a tricky
Speaker 1: that's an important job on the field. That's what I
Speaker 1: kept telling coach. Yeah, because first he didn't believe me,
Speaker 1: so he sat me on the bench. But in college
Speaker 1: he was gonna know he was. He was a great coach.
Speaker 1: So by my junior year, I said, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get drafted. I don't want to transfer to
Speaker 1: try to get drafted through another program. So that's when
Speaker 1: I picked up a guitar. Did you know you could sing?
Speaker 1: I just at that point it was just singing for friends,
Speaker 1: because you actually have a very unique, great voice. So
Speaker 1: the fact that you kind of found this later life
Speaker 1: is crazy that it wasn't like your first pursuit because
Speaker 1: it's really good. Yeah, it's a compliment. That's a compliment
Speaker 1: when somebody says you act shot man chuck. Well, the
Speaker 1: fact that you actually found it later you were gonna suck,
Speaker 1: but you do have a pretty good voice. The fact
Speaker 1: that you've discovered this very large talent that you had
Speaker 1: later on in life and didn't start for singing at
Speaker 1: a young age. It's crazy because it's a really great voice.
Speaker 1: Because thank you, because most did that. Did you? Did
Speaker 1: you pick up what I'm putting down? I picked it
Speaker 1: up and keep it, keep it tucking in your heart,
Speaker 1: put it right up in there. Um, thank you, I said.
Speaker 1: My surprise. My mom and dad too. I remember when
Speaker 1: I told him I was moving to Nashville to go
Speaker 1: get a record deal. They you sing, Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: no idea and I was like yes, So they made
Speaker 1: me sing to them in the kitchen. Well that your
Speaker 1: parents need to know how you sound if you're moving
Speaker 1: to Nashville record I quit college to do it. I
Speaker 1: quit college. You get so confident in your newfound talent
Speaker 1: that you just knew you were going to get a
Speaker 1: record deal so fast that's amazing. Well I stopped, I went,
Speaker 1: I started going part time. I was like, my senior year,
Speaker 1: I'm gona go part time so I can travel back
Speaker 1: and forth in Nashville. Did it Okay? When was the
Speaker 1: moment that you're like singing, this is it and I'm
Speaker 1: going to get a record? Doll? Um? Probably there was
Speaker 1: a girl on the soccer team in my college. She
Speaker 1: had asked me to come meet her. She wanted to
Speaker 1: be in a pop group because I went to school
Speaker 1: in Florida. So this is right around Orlando, which is
Speaker 1: when in sync Backstreet Boys all those guys are exploding,
Speaker 1: and so she was in the pop world. So I
Speaker 1: meet this guy. It was ironically Transcontinental Records with the
Speaker 1: guy that's in jail. But now he's passed away. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He managed saying for a long time
Speaker 1: was with them. Um. The name will come back to
Speaker 1: me probably after this interview is done, and uh, just
Speaker 1: look up Transcon Records and you'll see the guy pop up.
Speaker 1: And I saw that guy and I was like, holy god,
Speaker 1: you know, it's larger than life figure because he was
Speaker 1: such around these huge acts and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that's cool. It's a pretty cool lifestyle. I could do this,
Speaker 1: especially being a kid in college, and but I always
Speaker 1: knew I wanted to do country music. So yeah, So
Speaker 1: I had asked her manager that she was working with.
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to talk to somebody in
Speaker 1: the country world. So I ended up doing that and
Speaker 1: that person was like, let's go back and forth to Nashville.
Speaker 1: And you know, just while I was doing part time
Speaker 1: college and coming as soon as I can the Nashtral
Speaker 1: That's when I knew. So, did you know you're going
Speaker 1: to get a record? Like that was the only option? No,
Speaker 1: you know, I had like, um in college, I remember
Speaker 1: asking specifically one of my vocal coaches because I wanted
Speaker 1: to learn the proper way to sing and breathing techniques
Speaker 1: and stuff. I was like, do you think I'm good enough?
Speaker 1: Do you think I can get a record deal? He's like,
Speaker 1: no doubt you're gonna get The guy was like, no
Speaker 1: doubt you're going to get a record deal. So he
Speaker 1: was so confident saying that. I'm like, oh that you
Speaker 1: like to believe that. I was like, okay, cool, So
Speaker 1: how'd you go about getting it? Met the right people
Speaker 1: at r c A Records. UM made a horrible demo tape.
Speaker 1: I did a Brian mcknights song, One Last Cry, and
Speaker 1: then I did uh Andy Griggs song because in my
Speaker 1: mind it was actually an old Whale and Jennings song
Speaker 1: that he did. Um okay, I can't think, So you
Speaker 1: did Andy Riggs and because I want to do something
Speaker 1: really country and really R and B pop. Yeah, your
Speaker 1: versus okay, versatile and um I knew nothing. I had
Speaker 1: these horrible pictures. I made a stupid little folder with
Speaker 1: a picture on top of it, and you open it up,
Speaker 1: CDs in there and the same pictures on the CD cover.
Speaker 1: It's like, so, but you're doing it. Yeah, But it
Speaker 1: worked because I gave it today and our guy who's
Speaker 1: now is my one of my best friends, Jim Jim Catino.
Speaker 1: So he saw it and he goes, hey, man, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna listen to this on I gotta go to a

Speaker 1: cool because this guy is gonna go listen to my
Speaker 1: music on the way to go listen to Kenny Chesney
Speaker 1: sound check. Isn't it crazy? What sticks in your mind? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like you're like, I'm in cahoots with people who are
Speaker 1: doing this. Yeah. So he So I had to fly
Speaker 1: back the next day and Jim calls me and says,
Speaker 1: a man, will you come in? And I didn't play
Speaker 1: guitar yet, because so you're this is incredible. This is
Speaker 1: you literally got the drive to do it and just
Speaker 1: made a happy bloomer. Hey, it doesn't matter better late
Speaker 1: than never, because here you bloomed late bloomer. So he goes,
Speaker 1: will you come in and sing? Just saying I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I don't have a guitar player, I don't play guitar.
Speaker 1: Just come in sing acapella. He goes like, I think
Speaker 1: I heard something like the tape you gave me that
Speaker 1: I really liked. I came in sanging acapella. That's when
Speaker 1: it all started happening. Signed right then, Well, he said
Speaker 1: I want to assign you to a development deal, and
Speaker 1: I hoped him up with Monty Pale, great producer, and
Speaker 1: then you know that, then Monty Pale introduced me to
Speaker 1: Dan Huff and then Dan Huff of My Pale Dan
Speaker 1: produced You did the first my first record in r
Speaker 1: c A. So as soon as I got the development deal,
Speaker 1: you kind of like moved to town and got a
Speaker 1: deal right away. I didn't move to town until I
Speaker 1: got the development deal. That's kind of the dream that
Speaker 1: never really happens, Like it really happened, but then it
Speaker 1: came to a screeching all. So I get the development deal,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Mom and Dad, I'm moving up. I finally
Speaker 1: got something going where I field it. I'm secure enough
Speaker 1: to go up there, make the big move. I move up.
Speaker 1: Like two weeks later after I move up, I get
Speaker 1: dropped from the development deal, so I had to sit
Speaker 1: instead of going to other I figured I was yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't devastated, but I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is just a bumping the road. Okay, great, you
Speaker 1: know you're ready to keep moving, keep on going. I'm
Speaker 1: still I mean, this is just drop Two weeks after
Speaker 1: we signed, well, no, I signed the development deal, I
Speaker 1: moved up there, turned all the stuff in that they
Speaker 1: wanted to see. We're waiting to hear back from him.
Speaker 1: I'm up there. I'm ready to make the record. They said, oh,
Speaker 1: we're not going to pick it up, and it just
Speaker 1: happened to be once I got up there, like two weeks,
Speaker 1: I have adult my dog's hare there. I got it,
Speaker 1: which I love that your dogs are in doggy bat camp.
Speaker 1: Let's let me finish this story first, because I gotta

Speaker 1: princess dogs that are so gorgeous. They're King Charles. They
Speaker 1: watched TV. I'll put this on they can watch anyway.

Speaker 1: on me after development deal, I said, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to go to any other label in town. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna like basically blow my wattle on everybody else and
Speaker 1: ruin it. Is that a four choice of words? That's perfect.
Speaker 1: I think it's exactly what it is. So first impression,
Speaker 1: I wanted to save it, so I saved it for
Speaker 1: four years. So what do you do in this I
Speaker 1: just concentrated on song on songwriting, and that's where I
Speaker 1: really kind of developed who I was as an artist. Okay,
Speaker 1: and did you discover yourself to be in those years. Well,
Speaker 1: now it's easy to look back and say, chuck Quicks.
Speaker 1: You know it's myself. I mean, I wasn't trying to
Speaker 1: be anybody else but myself. I wrote about things that
Speaker 1: I believed in, that I grew up doing, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, things that I wanted to talk about or
Speaker 1: sing about. And you know, I learned the craft of
Speaker 1: songwriting through one of the best guys, Mony Pal. He
Speaker 1: took me under his wing, and then I got to
Speaker 1: write because of that development deal. And you know this,
Speaker 1: when you have a record deal in town, you get
Speaker 1: a lot more opportunities with great songwriters. So I took
Speaker 1: all that in and took advantage of it, kept the relationships,
Speaker 1: wrote with those guys through four years, and through that
Speaker 1: I was valeting cars like I really I kind of
Speaker 1: I really paid my dues for four years, went straight
Speaker 1: back to our c A when I felt like I
Speaker 1: had something, and then they signed me on the spot.
Speaker 1: Why do you think I took four years for you
Speaker 1: to get it all organized to where you liked it.
Speaker 1: It just takes time. It didn't feel like the right time.
Speaker 1: But did you know when you were ready? I knew
Speaker 1: there there was something that just clicked. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a certain sound just clicked. And even from that, from
Speaker 1: then my sound has changed, But at that moment, there
Speaker 1: was something that clicked that was like, Okay, I want
Speaker 1: to go back and get in front of people. Then
Speaker 1: you come out stealing. Cinderella is your first debut single, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a monster. I mean that song was a huge hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was the most added song by
Speaker 1: male debut and that whole year or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of cool things that happened with that song,
Speaker 1: and um, what was that ride like fast? It was? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Because I actually started at the same time that I
Speaker 1: was on radio tour, I got asked to do um
Speaker 1: a reality show called Nashville Oh Yes with Matt Jenkins
Speaker 1: and Sarah Davidson and Rachel Bradshaw. So I was trying
Speaker 1: to date Matt Jenkins at that time, and I had
Speaker 1: like one scene on that show you made it? Did
Speaker 1: you make it in the first two episodes? I didn't
Speaker 1: because then you didn't make it? And we filmed ten
Speaker 1: episodes for this thing all summer long, so Monday through Friday,
Speaker 1: I'm gone NonStop. Did you like filming it? What was
Speaker 1: your character me? I was, I was myself. So what's
Speaker 1: the plot. Well, I was a guy that had the deal,
Speaker 1: the record deal. I was on our c A and
Speaker 1: I was getting my first single out there. And the
Speaker 1: other guys and like some of the girls on the show,
Speaker 1: we're trying to get the record deal. Another guy was
Speaker 1: like the playboy of the whole group, and then Matt
Speaker 1: was like the songwriter guy that was trying to get
Speaker 1: the record deal. But Jamie Johnson, I think I had
Speaker 1: the record deal. So um, it was interesting. I thought
Speaker 1: it was cool because I was like, oh, TV can help,
Speaker 1: you know, help me get this first record off the ground.
Speaker 1: And um, really, all I ended up ended up doing
Speaker 1: was making me really tired and lose a bunch of weight.
Speaker 1: But um, because I just never had time to eat.
Speaker 1: I mean that's how busy I was. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. I was on the road early mornings
Speaker 1: to late nights to radio tour, making it happen as
Speaker 1: soon as I come home, I film on the weekends,
Speaker 1: go right back out on Monday. So you are just
Speaker 1: killing it up there so NonStop. But I loved it,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's what I wanted. You like to be
Speaker 1: super busy doing things your passionate. Yeah, that's what I wanted.
Speaker 1: So that really got things going on. You know. So
Speaker 1: I got out on tour Brad Paisley because of that
Speaker 1: for like seventy shows, and then that because of Nashville
Speaker 1: or because of your um and then I went on
Speaker 1: to have another hit with a song called all Arab
Speaker 1: Hunt Wanted. And then after that next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: I got invited to do Dance with the Stars And
Speaker 1: how was that awesome? Are you a dancer? Because you
Speaker 1: were dating Julianne Half at the time, right and your partners? Yes?
Speaker 1: Was that it is a hard to date your partner? No,
Speaker 1: it made it easier because you could really familiar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're familiar with the person you're dancing with, So you know,
Speaker 1: what was that experience like that? That has to be grueling.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. The most the most surprising
Speaker 1: thing for me during that process was, Um, this is
Speaker 1: gonna sound weird, but the depth perception of when you
Speaker 1: train in a studio and you're dancing in a studio
Speaker 1: like maybe this size, you see the like if you're
Speaker 1: doing a turn or something like that, you see the
Speaker 1: walls at a certain depth. You see the walls, they're closer.
Speaker 1: When we got into on set. It's a huge room,
Speaker 1: and so when you're spinning around, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's a lot bigger and you have to really kind
Speaker 1: of gauge kind of where you are in the room.
Speaker 1: Interesting almost like if you've ever played basketball, was really good?
Speaker 1: Do what was really good at basketball? Really? All right?
Speaker 1: So if you play basketball in a tiny gym, but
Speaker 1: then you go play and maybe not even an arena,
Speaker 1: but maybe like a bigger example would be like the
Speaker 1: Final Four when it's in a stadium, Imagine how weird
Speaker 1: it might look to see things different. Never thought of that.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it, but it actually affected me
Speaker 1: the first week, first week keeping. So what was your
Speaker 1: highest high of that? In your lowest low of dancing
Speaker 1: at the Star, I was actually excited get kicked off
Speaker 1: because the next week was going to be two dances
Speaker 1: per week. I was struggling enough with one. So but
Speaker 1: because I had made it far enough, like you were
Speaker 1: proud of your performance, Yeah, I was satisfied. I got
Speaker 1: I only missed I think it was nine or ten
Speaker 1: total weeks, and I only missed one week of kind
Speaker 1: of a fifth place. I think I did pretty well. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just happy I beat Steve Wozniak. I don't
Speaker 1: know who that is. He's a co founder of Apple.
Speaker 1: He was one of the dancers, but he was awesome.
Speaker 1: Huh are your friends? Yeah? Yeah, that's the cool thing
Speaker 1: about that show. Probably the best thing about that show
Speaker 1: is that everybody on that show, unless you're a total ass,
Speaker 1: you're going to be friends with us people really and
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson were talking about Sean Johnson and Nashville. She
Speaker 1: won my season. Um, she was one of my best
Speaker 1: friends here in town, and you know, it's that's pretty
Speaker 1: cool to have a friend like that that you can
Speaker 1: take away from that. That's awesome. So after Dancing the Stars,
Speaker 1: you come back in Nashville. What's going on? Then? I
Speaker 1: was in the middle of my third single at the time.
Speaker 1: I got to the twenties on the chart, and I
Speaker 1: remember else so disappointed because my label. As soon as
Speaker 1: I got off the the show, my label pulled the song.
Speaker 1: But you're like, I have all this momentum and all
Speaker 1: the people's eyeballs were just on me. They stopped working it.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't I feel like the wrong time to
Speaker 1: stop working the single probably was the wrong time. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I don't understand decisions, but I guess I'm not a
Speaker 1: label president. But yeah, so you know, everybody's got their reasons,
Speaker 1: and because you're like, dude, I'm got a huge show
Speaker 1: and I have a single in the radio, why would
Speaker 1: you Okay, So they pulled it, and um we went on,
Speaker 1: decided to make another record, and we put out two
Speaker 1: singles with them and got to the forties on the
Speaker 1: chart and then we ended up partying ways. So the
Speaker 1: ride for me was really fast and very high at
Speaker 1: certain points. And then you know, when you lose a
Speaker 1: record deal, you kind of go like, oh, ship, now
Speaker 1: what what what do you do next? Well? I was
Speaker 1: I was still touring off the success that I that
Speaker 1: I had, so I felt I still felt like I
Speaker 1: was doing something. Um So, I didn't feel like I
Speaker 1: was just a no man's land. Um So I went
Speaker 1: out and try and was trying to get another deal
Speaker 1: and had a lot of close calls with some some
Speaker 1: great labels and never connected. And I think that was
Speaker 1: all about timing. But then through that process is when
Speaker 1: I got asked to do the morning show that I'm
Speaker 1: a part of. Now, which is called Tykell and Chuck. Um,
Speaker 1: going into my fifth year of doing this morning show,
Speaker 1: and you know, I it was a great opportunity. It
Speaker 1: was the right timing for me because you know, I
Speaker 1: was able to step back and say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have a record deal right now. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: just kind of songwriting and touring off this success that
Speaker 1: I've had in the past. Maybe this is my spot,
Speaker 1: Maybe this is where I'm supposed to be. Yeah, totally
Speaker 1: open to it. And uh, once I got into it,
Speaker 1: some six months into it, I ended up signing another
Speaker 1: record deal. So now I now I'm like, well, ship,
Speaker 1: I got both. I've got two huge jobs right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know, you know, it's hard to balance
Speaker 1: those two. Also, my question is, since you are on
Speaker 1: America's morning show, does your competitor play your songs now
Speaker 1: that you are on a big radio station, Like, what
Speaker 1: is that situation? Yeah? So my company is obviously I
Speaker 1: have branded myself with a certain company, Cumulus, and I
Speaker 1: love working for them and I love Yeah, They're awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: And obviously I love it because I'm going into my
Speaker 1: fifth year and love being a part of Tack Killing
Speaker 1: Chuck because when we're right. When we first started, it
Speaker 1: was called America's Morning Show with Blair Garner, and then
Speaker 1: it and then it so now it's called Ty Kelly
Speaker 1: and Chuck by So which is good. I call a
Speaker 1: job security. If my name is in the title, he
Speaker 1: amend at that, right, good luck finding another Chuck. Well
Speaker 1: that Chuck Easton Eston. He's pretty great. It's your only competition.
Speaker 1: Too busy, he's too big times, he's Charles never worked
Speaker 1: for him. I loved chip Eston. By the way, his
Speaker 1: name isn't even Chuck Charles Eston. So you can go
Speaker 1: to Chuck. Yeah, okay if he gets into a buy
Speaker 1: and he might change it. But yeah, I mean, of
Speaker 1: course I released a single To answer to your question.
Speaker 1: I released a single um probably about a year into
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show and was curious when what was
Speaker 1: going to happen, because I'm sure a lot of people
Speaker 1: would be like, well, you know, Chuck is on this
Speaker 1: morning show and we look at him as a competitor.
Speaker 1: The truth to that is is that that's fact. That's
Speaker 1: that's as true statement is that people aren't gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: support the competitor sort of speak. I live in a
Speaker 1: world and of where I think the best song should win.
Speaker 1: I don't think it should matter, um what you do
Speaker 1: outside of that, because the people listening on the radio
Speaker 1: don't care about that, and they don't know the politics
Speaker 1: behind it. There's great songs. They care about what they're hearing,
Speaker 1: how it makes them feel. Just like a morning show.
Speaker 1: They care if you make them laugh, they care if
Speaker 1: you make them feel. So how do you balance that?
Speaker 1: Do you just kind of say I'm not this is
Speaker 1: I'm just going to put out songs. Yeah, that's outam,
Speaker 1: that's that's out of my control. I can never force
Speaker 1: anybody to play something or do something. Um, that's not
Speaker 1: in their power or maybe what they feel is best
Speaker 1: for their company. UM yeah, I know that the markets
Speaker 1: at Ty Kelly and chuckerre in my my company has
Speaker 1: been extremely supportive. That's awesome and and that's that's all
Speaker 1: you really that matters. Really if other people want to
Speaker 1: come to the table and play a great song, which
Speaker 1: I think I you know, I believe in my songs.
Speaker 1: I've seen them see the top before. Um, I just
Speaker 1: that's a that's out of my control. My job is
Speaker 1: too to write the best song I can sing the
Speaker 1: best I can and go out and put a good
Speaker 1: show on and just have fun. And and that's kind
Speaker 1: of where you just have to leave it. You can't worry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So trap up, Where do you in your dream world?
Speaker 1: Where would you see your life in the next five
Speaker 1: years if you could just have it play out perfectly
Speaker 1: the next five years, Um, what would be happening in
Speaker 1: all aspects of your life in the next five years?
Speaker 1: She got going on. Yeah, I mean, I'm always going
Speaker 1: to continue to make music. I'm always going to be
Speaker 1: a songwriter, um, whether it's you know, for fun or
Speaker 1: just to sit on the front porch. Um. I just
Speaker 1: started putting together a theater show for now, not like
Speaker 1: a now, more of like a like an evening with
Speaker 1: type of theater show where it's a lot of storytelling,
Speaker 1: a lot of music, Um, a lot of this sharing
Speaker 1: with a very very interactive Okay, okay, So I see
Speaker 1: that building, Um, continuing to make the music and continuing
Speaker 1: to to build on my radio career with toy Killing
Speaker 1: Chuck and and even you know, breaking into a movie
Speaker 1: or two, and you know, just having fun. As long
Speaker 1: as I can make enough money to go deer hunting,
Speaker 1: I'm good. That's your real passion, isn't it. Huge outdoorsman,
Speaker 1: Huge outdoorsman. And I love doing the Iron Man's Well,
Speaker 1: which which we had talked about. So you know, I
Speaker 1: like to to stay in shape. I like to do
Speaker 1: outdoor stuff, Huge Hunter and um, you know, the music
Speaker 1: and the morning show and being a lot and this
Speaker 1: limelight type of deal is is like a huge bonus. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you just want to kind of keep it all
Speaker 1: going and to keep building. Yeah, keep building, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: keep it rocking because I love being in the music business.
Speaker 1: I love being around it. I love the click. The
Speaker 1: music business is a click to what you're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like to be in the in the circle sort
Speaker 1: of speak. And are you okay with it either being
Speaker 1: as an art as an artist and a radius? Are
Speaker 1: you kay with that balance? Yeah? Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Listen and you know this too. I've been I've been
Speaker 1: at two hit singles on the radio and just about
Speaker 1: to go on a big, huge show and you think
Speaker 1: everybody knows you, but you're wrong. I mean, the top
Speaker 1: is a long ways and you know, as long as
Speaker 1: you're happy, it doesn't matter where you are sitting on
Speaker 1: the mountain, as long as you're happy. Amen. To that.
Speaker 1: That's called some wisdom right there, not just a hat rack.
Speaker 1: I read it in a book. Okay, I want to
Speaker 1: wrap up with Well, first off, weren't talk about your
Speaker 1: dog's fat camp, which is so cute. You're cute little
Speaker 1: dogs crawling up the stairs and one just like refuses Duke.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So is this a regular thing or is
Speaker 1: this just a one time thing? On my Instagram at
Speaker 1: check Wicks, I saw it. I posted this video and
Speaker 1: everybody's like it was heartbreaking for the one I felt bad. Well,
Speaker 1: this is how it started because we just went for
Speaker 1: a normal run. Well then the fire alarm goes off
Speaker 1: in my ability and we had to use the stairs. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was wondering if this is like a regular thing,
Speaker 1: So I go, this might be a good little training program.
Speaker 1: Take him up the stairs. I live on you know,
Speaker 1: pretty high up are So it wasn't like two floors
Speaker 1: or nothing. You gotta work for it. So by floor six,
Speaker 1: they were like, which one was the one that just
Speaker 1: stopped Duke? Which is funny because that's a lighter one.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just like refused one. Havn't it anyway?
Speaker 1: You can check It was so funny you should make
Speaker 1: that a series on your instrument. We're going to hit
Speaker 1: the stairs again. I'm gonna wait till cools down a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's too hot, too hot, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm dying on me totally. Oh god, that'd be the
Speaker 1: worst Cooper Duke dead you. We don't want that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna do why when it's a little cooler.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Already trying to kill my dogs
Speaker 1: every here. Okay. I want to wrap up with leave
Speaker 1: your light, so leave some inspiration, leave my life. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: of how you have been inspired and would like to
Speaker 1: inspire others? Okay. Um. The biggest inspiration that I've ever
Speaker 1: had throughout my music career was through Brad Paisley. When
Speaker 1: I got to tour with him, he was very hands on.
Speaker 1: He was like, Chuck, let's go for a run. We
Speaker 1: talked about stuff. I'd ride the bus back with him.
Speaker 1: He showed me what he's doing, work on his butt ord.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I'd ride his jet back with him every
Speaker 1: once in a while and we would talk about all
Speaker 1: these things and talk about songwriting and talk about music
Speaker 1: and the and the business. And I thought that was
Speaker 1: amazing because I really looked up to him as an
Speaker 1: artist before I knew him. I looked him up to
Speaker 1: him as a fan, and then he was like even
Speaker 1: better than what you could have imagined. So yes, So
Speaker 1: that's kind of what how I want to be is.
Speaker 1: I want to be helpful, Like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be the guy that turns the shoulder um to anybody.
Speaker 1: I want to be just. I consider myself just a happy,
Speaker 1: go lucky dude. So I just want to just be happy,
Speaker 1: you know, just be happy with other people and make
Speaker 1: him feel good. Be as sarcastic as possible. And seriously,
Speaker 1: I've never taken anything too serious. And every any time
Speaker 1: that I started to, I see my that's when I
Speaker 1: find myself not in a good space. So I like
Speaker 1: to take things with stride and just hey, it's all good.
Speaker 1: You know, we're alive. I was just in a horrible
Speaker 1: car accident. Oh my god, I know, what did that?
Speaker 1: Did your life flash before your eyes? What does that
Speaker 1: do for your perspective on life? Changes it dramistically? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What did it change for you? Just it's important, you know.
Speaker 1: If I broke my neck, I broke my c two
Speaker 1: vertebrae in my skull. I couldn't move for a couple
Speaker 1: of months, so you should Could you have been really
Speaker 1: paralyzed or killed? C two C one, C two, C three.
Speaker 1: You're in the danger zone there, like you can be paralyzed,
Speaker 1: um forever die. Yeah. And also there's there's a it's
Speaker 1: arteries in the veins that go through that area, and
Speaker 1: the nervous system in that C one, C two, C
Speaker 1: three area is all the things that tell you to breathe.
Speaker 1: So you could that break that I had could have
Speaker 1: clipped something and I would just would have been shut off. Wow,
Speaker 1: It's crazy how I can just change on a dime
Speaker 1: like that, Like your whole life could have gone so
Speaker 1: many different directions. So it was and that's why I
Speaker 1: like doing this iron Man in October is Um, there's
Speaker 1: a big deal. I did the Music City Triathlon this
Speaker 1: past week in which is only four and a half
Speaker 1: five months outside of breaking my neck, so I was
Speaker 1: really excited too. The body is an amazing thing. I
Speaker 1: didn't have to have any surgeries, but I think that's
Speaker 1: what's important, is that you have to take care of yourself. Um,
Speaker 1: not just to look good on the beach or whatever
Speaker 1: you want. To do it for but to be healthy. Um.
Speaker 1: I think I think doing these triathlons and working out,
Speaker 1: I really do think that, UM probably saved my life
Speaker 1: that day, really being in good shape, being in good shape. Wow. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're here, Chuck. Hey, you're rocks. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plays a song or two hopefully too. I
