Speaker 1: Calm Down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, first of all, happy holidays and happy New Year.
Speaker 1: So Aaron and I always talk about this, but I
Speaker 1: hope you guys understand how much we appreciate and we
Speaker 1: love you and your support. We see you at the stadiums,
Speaker 1: we see your comments, we see the Instagram everything, and
Speaker 1: we absolutely love doing Calm Down. We are doing a
Speaker 1: recap of the twenty twenty four year. I know for us,
Speaker 1: one of our favorite things that we love sharing with
Speaker 1: you guys is our affinity and love of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: So one of the highlights for us in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four was going to the Eras tour in London and
Speaker 1: it was absolutely amazing and lived up to all our expectations.
Speaker 1: I would love to say this, Taylor's team, thank you
Speaker 1: guys so much. You guys were thank so incredible, so thoughtful,
Speaker 1: and that came from her team and they were so lovely.
Speaker 1: We had joked about, you know, going and you're not
Speaker 1: cramming for the exam and Jarrett in my hotel, somebody's
Speaker 1: at the door, leave me alone, and somebody Taylor's team.
Speaker 1: Could you get that Jarrett had said, Hey, are we
Speaker 1: gonna have a parking pass?
Speaker 2: And we're like, let's just hope we have tickets.
Speaker 1: Okay, they give you a parking pass, they pick you up.
Speaker 1: We didn't expect any of this. I really didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't know where the heck we were going to be.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think that we would be near Travis.
Speaker 2: You know, you and.
Speaker 1: Jarrett were texting and you know, He's like, see you
Speaker 1: guys there when we got down. When they took no
Speaker 1: one feels more comfortable at the bowels of a stadium
Speaker 1: like Chris and I. When they took us down, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, could we possibly be in
Speaker 1: this tent? We had never asked they brought us there?
Speaker 2: I mean I was. I think I looked at you
Speaker 2: and I was like, holy because they don't tell you
Speaker 2: where your tickets are. They don't tell you anything. They
Speaker 2: didn't tell you anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I didn't expect it because I knew that
Speaker 1: we've seen the people in there, and I wasn't expecting it.
Speaker 2: And I, you know, I just yeah, what am I
Speaker 2: thank you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I think it just can't be overstated how amazing her
Speaker 1: team is because we were just happy to go. And
Speaker 1: I don't just say that like, oh, I'm just happy
Speaker 1: to be there, like no, we were really genuinely just happy,
Speaker 1: Like we went to.
Speaker 2: London for forty eight.
Speaker 1: Hours just so we could go to this concert, and
Speaker 1: anything else was going to be a bonus at that point.
Speaker 1: So when they put us on that golf cart and
Speaker 1: took us right to the tent, I was like, I know.
Speaker 1: And at one point I was in the tent and
Speaker 1: I was like dancing, doing my moves, which we'll get
Speaker 1: to shortly, and then I was like I turned around
Speaker 1: and her dad was right in front of me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, I'm so sorry, and he was
Speaker 1: like dancing too with me, and he was so cute,
Speaker 1: and then he gave me all these guitar picks and
Speaker 1: I ran over to you and Kylie and I go,
Speaker 1: I just made an ass of myself and I danced
Speaker 1: like a spas and then her dad saw me and
Speaker 1: YouTube both go, I know.
Speaker 2: We just watched that and I was like, don't care,
Speaker 2: don't care. I'm so jacked up now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan, We talked about it on our last podcast,
Speaker 1: just about like how you act or how I act
Speaker 1: in front of people, and like Stella McCartney walks in, like,
Speaker 1: you know, we know Travis, but I still am like
Speaker 1: very awkward. I'm like, I don't want to get in
Speaker 1: his way. I don't want him to think I'm here
Speaker 1: to be like particulation me next to Travis. So I
Speaker 1: like in the back most of the time. And even
Speaker 1: though I'd been like wanting to see everything, at one
Speaker 1: point we were standing there and you know, Stella walks
Speaker 1: in and all these Leslie man walk in and I'm
Speaker 1: up in the front and I'm like, here, I'm a nobody.
Speaker 1: You can stand up here, like it's fine, go ahead,
Speaker 1: And then I'm.
Speaker 2: Like I can't see.
Speaker 1: But no, it was just like I was like wanting
Speaker 1: to hide, but it was. It was insane And we
Speaker 1: can't think her team enough and yeah, they're amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's fantastic. Obviously, you know you two
Speaker 3: getting the getting the special treatment. Not that we actually
Speaker 3: take credit for setting them up in any way, but
Speaker 3: the early advocates get in the special treatment from her
Speaker 3: awesome team is obviously something incredible, and you can't expect
Speaker 3: anything less from a world class act like that. You've
Speaker 3: talked about the dance moves. There are some videos that
Speaker 3: you guys had recorded that we haven't put out on
Speaker 3: social media yet, but apparently there might have been a
Speaker 3: little bit of tension, a little bit of tention over
Speaker 3: some dance moves.
Speaker 4: Tension.
Speaker 2: Tension is no post is gonna run with that that
Speaker 2: we were fighting in the tent.
Speaker 1: No, here's here's here's the read between Ryan's words no tension.
Speaker 2: It is no tension. We did not establish.
Speaker 1: What I've learned later is Aaron and I are two
Speaker 1: very different SIS protocols. Okay, yes, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: we are the athletes, and it's like, hey, we'll learn,
Speaker 1: we'll be better neck. We're very coachable, good so I
Speaker 1: learn after the fact after participating in some of my moves,
Speaker 1: and the videos will show eron not wanting me to
Speaker 1: be up in her face.
Speaker 2: There's one video where I'm dancing and I'm like singing
Speaker 2: her face and remember, like we.
Speaker 1: Have been waiting like this has been like something we
Speaker 1: obviously had talked about at nauseum for so long. We've
Speaker 1: watched her the concert on TV like individually together like
Speaker 1: we have been waiting.
Speaker 2: For this moment.
Speaker 1: There's some songs like I'd be the man, calm down,
Speaker 1: like shake it off. There's just pure elation when these
Speaker 1: songs come on. So I'm up in Aaron's face, I'm dancing,
Speaker 1: I'm screaming, and at one point Aaron gives me the
Speaker 1: full on in the heisman. Basically she like shuns me.
Speaker 1: She's like enough and pushes me out of the way,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, not in the moon. And then
Speaker 1: I go and like hop on over and I go
Speaker 1: dance with someone else, and at one point Leslie Mann,
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize it was Leslie Man because her
Speaker 1: back was to me. I just smacked this girl on
Speaker 1: the bum because I'm having so much fun and like
Speaker 1: all over the place, and she turns around with this
Speaker 1: big smile on her face, and I was like mortified,
Speaker 1: but not really.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: She's like it's okay, and then like starts dancing again,
Speaker 1: and I was like, see, Erin, Leslie doesn't care if
Speaker 1: I dance or smack her on the bomb, and Erin's like,
Speaker 1: what I found out later is the dancer. And Aaron
Speaker 1: really wants to concentrate on the concert, and I am
Speaker 1: acting as if I've had ninety seven espresso shots and
Speaker 1: I've just been let out of jail for the first time.
Speaker 3: Nosy Rosie's there taking notes getting her report read.
Speaker 2: She busy, She's.
Speaker 3: Getting ready to you know, take some take some notes
Speaker 3: on the choreography. You can't be getting in the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. It's like I like, and I'm, you know,
Speaker 2: a big fan of her dancers. I follow them.
Speaker 1: I'm psycho with these like TikTok videos and I was,
Speaker 1: you know, even ken my sister is asking me, okay,
Speaker 1: tell me about like, you know, who's afraid of little
Speaker 1: old me like, and I was like, well, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a stick and there's a thing. And I just and
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for what outfit is she coming out
Speaker 1: with in style? Like I wanted to see, Yeah, and listen,
Speaker 1: my girl all right here. And Kendra understood it because
Speaker 1: we went to a Justin Timberlake concert and listen, Chrissa
Speaker 1: I show I was showing Terry Bradshaw videos today from
Speaker 1: the concert and he goes there, she is she's crazy,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, she's nuts. And I was like,
Speaker 1: but yeah, like we're all not the same. And Chris
Speaker 1: has said it perfectly. If we're at a football game.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want somebody talking to us or
Speaker 1: like doing the you know, the play in front of us,
Speaker 1: like they're like, oh, and he threw it like this,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, let me fucking see the routine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was fine, It was all good. No, we just
Speaker 1: watched concerts differently products, that's all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we consume products did very differently.
Speaker 1: Although again to Aaron's point, if we're at a football game,
Speaker 1: the consumption is going to be the same. But don't
Speaker 1: take me to a concert if you want to watch
Speaker 1: the dance moves, because the only dance moves you're going
Speaker 1: to be watching.
Speaker 2: I'm there, right.
Speaker 1: It was funny because and like, I love CT but
Speaker 1: I was like telling her, you know, this is when
Speaker 1: she does her kind of her mashup of a couple
Speaker 1: of songs, and Kylie and I are sitting there and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's got to be black Dog.
Speaker 2: It's got to be black Dog. I feel like it
Speaker 2: is because.
Speaker 1: So long London, I feel like she would have done
Speaker 1: last for the And Chris is like huh huh.
Speaker 2: And then this was actually very cute.
Speaker 1: As she's getting ready, she's starting to talk and she
Speaker 1: I knew that those songs were coming. I was like,
Speaker 1: highly do you know what they are? And she said
Speaker 1: I don't. So I said, Travis, what do you know
Speaker 1: what they are? And he was great, whether he had
Speaker 1: a poker face or not, but he was like, I
Speaker 1: think it's an old one, and then one of the
Speaker 1: new ones, and it was adorable.
Speaker 2: I don't heard this.
Speaker 1: He goes and the bridge leads to this and I
Speaker 1: just looked at him and I go the fact you
Speaker 1: just said bridge. He blows my London Bridge is falling
Speaker 1: down with Travis Kelsey saying bridge, it was very sweet.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, what about that three four defense?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: But it was adorable, very okay.
Speaker 3: So Travis asple different concert goers, different concert goers, and
Speaker 3: that's okay. It's all just a learning experience. And now
Speaker 3: we know. Now we know, we have we have our
Speaker 3: roots in place, we know what the expectations are. We're
Speaker 3: good going forward. All right. You guys are big on smells,
Speaker 3: particularly you've talked about it. Did he smell like his
Speaker 3: signature lieu vauton? Where you worried, you know, halfway through
Speaker 3: the show about your smells? You know, we're we sweating
Speaker 3: what happened there.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, And I'd like to call somebody out.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about, you know, judging women in
Speaker 1: their bodies. I saw some of the comments, what's Aaron
Speaker 1: in her soccer mom era? First of all, you're talking
Speaker 1: about David Beckham's mom there, and Rinaldo's mom there, and
Speaker 1: Messi's mom.
Speaker 2: So I'd love to beat point great.
Speaker 1: First of all, I will tell you this, and Carissa
Speaker 1: almost made a massive mistake. She almost wore heels to
Speaker 1: that concert. And the one thing everybody told us where sneakers. Now,
Speaker 1: Chrisa is like Sarah, Jessica Parker, Carrie Bradshaw. She can
Speaker 1: pull off heels and dance at them and be bopping along.
Speaker 1: But I definitely went for comfort. I had two j
Speaker 1: brackets for my soccer mom area era, so relax. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like the tent. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: were bouncing around. Well Chris is really bouncing around, but no,
Speaker 1: it's hot in there, and so I just we just
Speaker 1: ripped our stuff off and put it over to the side. Now,
Speaker 1: chrisal looked amazing and her sparkles and all that, and
Speaker 1: I wish I had done a better job with that,
Speaker 1: but I love my jackets.
Speaker 2: But relax on the soccer mom era.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what exactly And to your point, if
Speaker 1: that's a soccer mom hot, fine, there was to elaborate
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: I we've talked about.
Speaker 1: If you guys listen, don't Jarrett coin the phrase do
Speaker 1: not cram for the exam. Since we talked about going
Speaker 1: it was a concert a while ago. I thought I
Speaker 1: had the perfect outfit. I was just gonna go white
Speaker 1: T shirt and like these like very bedazzled jeans that
Speaker 1: I got, and I was gonna I had to wear
Speaker 1: a heel with them because the jeans were really long.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to tell Aaron that I was gonna
Speaker 1: wear a heel. I knew she was going to be mad.
Speaker 1: She's going to be like, why are you doing that?
Speaker 1: It's going to slow us down. Have you thought about
Speaker 1: the walk from the parking lot, But unbeknownst to us,
Speaker 1: there was a golf cart.
Speaker 2: Could have worn the heel. Everything would have been fine.
Speaker 1: However, day of so obviously we both we can fly
Speaker 1: in at different times. But then like that next morning
Speaker 1: before the concert, we go shopping and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: can't wear heels you're right, I'm gonna I'm gonna regret this.
Speaker 1: So I got different pants, tennis shoes and it all
Speaker 1: worked out. But we're doing a day think about she
Speaker 1: was an audible. We can pull that off. She's a
Speaker 1: designer decorator, she can pull that off. I can't know
Speaker 1: if I can pull it off. It was just an
Speaker 1: audible that made more sense. But all I could think
Speaker 1: about is if Taylor Swift can perform for three and
Speaker 1: a half hours every night in heels, why can't I
Speaker 1: have heels on When I'm just bopping around in a
Speaker 1: twenty by ten tent. She's moving the whole stage and
Speaker 1: for the last I don't know, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: shows or whatever number we're on. So but I ended
Speaker 1: up wearing tennis shoes and it was probably the right choice.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the answer to that is, first year, not
Speaker 3: training like I'm sure Taylor's training for these shows and heels,
Speaker 3: And second, if you're not fully prepared for the Heisman
Speaker 3: stiff arm that's coming from Aaron part way through the show,
Speaker 3: that could lead to some destabilization and some potential injuries.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Ryan, don't she's insane though? I mean, I know
Speaker 1: like Chris has been. Yeah, you know, we watched the
Speaker 1: concert multiple times. I've watched like, yeah, the countless, a
Speaker 1: number of TikTok videos. Her stamina is incredible, like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: And then you see the pictures out of her the
Speaker 1: other night, inner heels again until four am. I'm like,
Speaker 1: that was Aaron's text to me. Aaron's text me because
Speaker 1: she had to leave earlier than I did, and so
Speaker 1: I was still there and she's like, did you end
Speaker 1: up going out? And I was like, no, I didn't
Speaker 1: go out. I was like, I was sleeping and she's like,
Speaker 1: and look at this one still in heels out.
Speaker 2: It is so impossive.
Speaker 1: Two takeaways from this concert well three. Number one, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad that you and I did this. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad that we actually followed through. I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: million reasons in life that you end up not doing things.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we did this. Number Two, Taylor and Travis.
Speaker 1: I don't care what anyone says. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it. Don't talk to me. In fact, if you
Speaker 1: don't like Taylor and Travis, you shouldn't be listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast, and you shouldn't like us because we love them.
Speaker 1: We have obviously been credited for something that we didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with, but we have advocated for
Speaker 1: these two from the beginning and seeing it. This is
Speaker 1: my first time seeing Travis in person watch her at
Speaker 1: a concert, and I have these creepy pictures that I'm
Speaker 1: going to send him, which I'm sure he doesn't need
Speaker 1: because he has seven thousand pictures of him at her
Speaker 1: concert that are Getty images. But there's a picture that
Speaker 1: I took just of her on stage and like he's
Speaker 1: like off to the side and the way that he
Speaker 1: looks at her when he's performing. And I said to him,
Speaker 1: I was like, you must be so proud. He's like,
Speaker 1: you have no idea, and I just my takeaway was
Speaker 1: how sweet it was that both of these people get
Speaker 1: to watch one in their respective professions with like such admiration,
Speaker 1: with such encouragement. And I was like, what a gift
Speaker 1: that is to have a partner be able to aaron.
Speaker 1: You've had it with Jarrett, like seeing him do his thing.
Speaker 1: I do that with Steve over his laptop when he's
Speaker 1: putting together a marketing presentation. Very similar, but like to
Speaker 1: watch your partner do something that they.
Speaker 2: Absolutely love and crush. It is very cool.
Speaker 1: So that's my second takeaway is that they are so
Speaker 1: adorable and in love and it's just sweet to see.
Speaker 2: And my third and final one is she is a.
Speaker 1: Frickin' beast or I don't know how she does it,
Speaker 1: but I am in a like complete awe. I think
Speaker 1: that Aaron, you and I have really good work ethics.
Speaker 1: And we'll get on a plane and.
Speaker 2: We'll fly here, you're on location.
Speaker 1: The second you got back, you're already like back out
Speaker 1: traveling again. And I just think that the work ethic
Speaker 1: of that young woman is to be admired and appreciated.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that deserves everything she has.
Speaker 1: The Chris I talked about, you know, him admiring her
Speaker 1: and being so there was this moment and it's well
Speaker 1: documented because Travis obviously can't do anything at her shows
Speaker 1: without people taking videos. So we're not telling anybody anything
Speaker 1: they haven't seen.
Speaker 2: Over the every angle yet every angle.
Speaker 1: She was singing lover and she was just singing to him,
Speaker 1: and we were kind of all standing there watching it,
Speaker 1: and it was awesome for the romantics like Chris and
Speaker 1: I for a guy that we cheer for. On and
Speaker 1: off the field, and obviously we're a massive fan of hers.
Speaker 2: It was really cool.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like an inside look of like
Speaker 1: a relationship of that you know, all of us had
Speaker 1: been hoping for.
Speaker 2: But it was really really special.
Speaker 1: And he was just standing there and just you know,
Speaker 1: taking her in and I posted this picture.
Speaker 2: It's awesome. Jared has this photo.
Speaker 1: He's standing right behind Travis and it looks like she's
Speaker 1: pointing to Jared and she's going to Travis and Ryan,
Speaker 1: you said, a great texture and always finds his way.
Speaker 1: Chrisa and Jared, they always find their way into something
Speaker 1: like they just do. They're so good at it. The timing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was listen, I we all fall into
Speaker 1: We don't really know what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: We were there, we saw them. I don't believe for
Speaker 1: a second this is an act. I'm embarrassed of all
Speaker 1: the people that said it was a PR stunt. I
Speaker 1: don't want it to be. I will say this. I
Speaker 1: hope to God they get married. I want this thing
Speaker 1: to last. It is so cool to watch and even
Speaker 1: you know, like Chrisa just said, having a guy that
Speaker 1: is that successful, he walks into a room, he lights
Speaker 1: up a room. Having him support her the way he
Speaker 1: does is such a great message for so many people.
Speaker 2: Well said, no, seriously, it's a baby.
Speaker 1: And I have to say to Iby Remiss that we
Speaker 1: were there in a bunch of tracks, us as friends
Speaker 1: were there and they couldn't have been lovelier. And I
Speaker 1: think it says so much about who you are as
Speaker 1: a person of the friends that you keep. And these
Speaker 1: are friends that he's had in his life for a
Speaker 1: very long time, and you know their significant others, like
Speaker 1: we're just lovely and just in talking to them on
Speaker 1: a very like peripheral level and like surface level, but
Speaker 1: just you know, all you want is for your friend
Speaker 1: to be happy, and I know that they feel and
Speaker 1: even like what anyone has ever said about her, and
Speaker 1: you know the impact that she's had on his life. Clearly,
Speaker 1: we love them together and we hope that love is
Speaker 1: all the things that we hope it is. Keep advocating
Speaker 1: people are great people, all right. So you talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about outfits. We talked about a last minute
Speaker 1: of wardrobe change. One thing that we got a lot
Speaker 1: of d ms about was the I think custom made
Speaker 1: jacket or the jean jacket story on that A lot
Speaker 1: of people were and on that they want to know
Speaker 1: if they can buy it. I don't know if that's possible,
Speaker 1: but yes, people are loving that jacket. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: is there an NFL wear jacket that we have and
Speaker 1: that was an idea from our COO of ware, who
Speaker 1: also made eight million bracelets for our envy and they
Speaker 1: were so adorable. Lauren Fenner love you so much. She
Speaker 1: and Portia, who works for our manufacturing company of where
Speaker 1: decided I was like, I kind of want to wear wear,
Speaker 1: and so we decided to make an use our NFL jacket.
Speaker 1: Lauren bedazzled it. She put calm down on it, put
Speaker 1: the War Era, she put a bunch of cool patches
Speaker 1: from Taylor's songs, and yeah, Chris and I traded back
Speaker 1: and forth wearing it and it was just so cute.
Speaker 1: You can buy the NFL and the team jackets and
Speaker 1: we have them in all teams, NBA, NHL, MLB online.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I was.
Speaker 1: Kind of I'm thinking of maybe doing a little auction
Speaker 1: for it and money goes to Tyranny, you know, That's
Speaker 1: what I was hoping, a tailor charity that she supports.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're going to figure all that out. But
Speaker 1: so it was pretty cool. It was so cute, and Chris,
Speaker 1: I know, you can add to this. There were just
Speaker 1: fans from all over the world in London to see her.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of Americans. Jarrett and Steve were creepers,
Speaker 1: were like, hey, where are you from, to like little
Speaker 1: fifteen year olds and ten year olds because they were
Speaker 1: genuinely curious where people were traveling in from. The little
Speaker 1: girls with their moms and their dads. Like I was
Speaker 1: getting so emotional over and I think that's another such
Speaker 1: a special thing about Taylor Swift that people don't give
Speaker 1: enough credit to, just you know, the different generations and
Speaker 1: the dads taking their daughters and stuff. To elaborate on that, Aaron,
Speaker 1: So We're at a restaurant and Steve so Aerin and
Speaker 1: I are on the inside of the booth and Steve
Speaker 1: and Jared on the outside, and we saw this like
Speaker 1: smoking hot mom and like a bunch of girls with her,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was like, they've got to
Speaker 1: be here for the Tailor Swift concert.
Speaker 2: Like it just it's like they have to be here.
Speaker 1: So Steve leans back and he goes, hey, where are
Speaker 1: you guys from the little kids?
Speaker 2: I go, WHOA?
Speaker 1: I was like first, and I looked up immediately at
Speaker 1: the mom and I said, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: He doesn't mean that.
Speaker 1: We just want to know if you're here for the
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert. I was like, Bro, you can't lean
Speaker 1: back and ask a ten year.
Speaker 2: Old, hey, where are you from? Like, it's not a
Speaker 2: good look.
Speaker 1: So what we ended up deducing in the correct way
Speaker 1: was that they were from Seattle and the mom was
Speaker 1: there with her three daughters. And all I was thinking
Speaker 1: about in that moment, Aaron, like you said, is that
Speaker 1: they'll never forget that. Like and first of all, it's
Speaker 1: not cheap to fly to London from Seattle and hotels
Speaker 1: and all the things, but like those memories, and I
Speaker 1: hope those not those specific young girls because they seem lovely,
Speaker 1: but I hope all the little girls that I saw,
Speaker 1: or little boys or any not even little just could
Speaker 1: be adults for that matter that like went really like
Speaker 1: appreciated it the way that we do, because those are
Speaker 1: experiences that you're like not going to get back again,
Speaker 1: and especially if you're doing it when you're younger with
Speaker 1: your family, so very all.
Speaker 3: Right, So we've talked a little bit about Steve and
Speaker 3: Jarrett as you just mentioned, what was this whole experience
Speaker 3: like for them? Now we know Aaron was locked in
Speaker 3: on what was happening on stage. Go ahead to that point.
Speaker 1: Jared tried to kiss me during like one of her walks,
Speaker 1: and I go stop, I.
Speaker 2: Just want to watch. He'll definitely tell you that story.
Speaker 1: And I apologize the next morning because he was like
Speaker 1: he was like, he goes, I'm so happy, babe, thanks
Speaker 1: for bringing me and try to kiss me and goes
Speaker 1: stop and I'm trying to listen. That makes me feel
Speaker 1: so much better, Jared, I love you so much. Which
Speaker 1: can I say this? You can get mad at you
Speaker 1: can get mad at me. But when we were at
Speaker 1: the bar and there was a stressful situation. We were
Speaker 1: doing a pub crawl before the old concert and you're
Speaker 1: in a stressful situation, which I totally understood, and you
Speaker 1: were putting an order in and like you didn't you
Speaker 1: wanted to try all the different varieties because you could't
Speaker 1: figure out the right drink, and you.
Speaker 2: Go, actually, can I try that one?
Speaker 4: Can try?
Speaker 1: This was like on your fourth one, like can I
Speaker 1: try that? Jared says to me, got the bartender goes,
Speaker 1: poor bastard.
Speaker 4: I started that.
Speaker 2: Because I knew the stress that you were under and
Speaker 2: the way that he said.
Speaker 1: It was so funny because the bartender at that points like,
Speaker 1: bitch just ordered a drink.
Speaker 2: It was so funny drink. I think it was here
Speaker 2: tried to kiss you in the middle. Sweet And I'm.
Speaker 1: Also embarrassed because I think Kylie was standing right there
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Was like stop because I wanted to watch, like if
Speaker 2: I forgot what song it was.
Speaker 1: It was like I think it was like black Dog
Speaker 1: or something, and I really wanted to know what bridge
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I was like, I'm really happy, babe,
Speaker 1: I love you and he tried to kiss me.
Speaker 3: It goes, she's got Jared.
Speaker 1: She just fucking putting us on everybody. I think there
Speaker 1: was also like a moment four of us. There's so
Speaker 1: many fun because Steve's hilarious. He's obsessed with Reddit, like
Speaker 1: Jared comes up with these. I don't know half of it,
Speaker 1: but I think like we were all sitting there and
Speaker 1: where we were at dinner, and Steve.
Speaker 2: Goes, I'm having a really great time. I'm so glad
Speaker 2: we did this.
Speaker 1: I love you guys, and Jered goes they have creamspinach babe.
Speaker 1: Okay for anyone that like gets that where it's like
Speaker 1: there's a sentimental moment and then it's like what, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's just all funny to me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and she always had a great time. I had a
Speaker 1: lot to do with that, or her show is incredible.
Speaker 1: If you can't have fun at that show, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: something wrong with you.
Speaker 3: So what about what about sort of like the vibe
Speaker 3: overall and like all of the fans, like, how would
Speaker 3: you describe that? Because sometimes concerts are like, oh, it's
Speaker 3: like a party, and obviously we see all the videos
Speaker 3: of guys like you Grant or Prince William like just
Speaker 3: going down, like Paul McCarthy McCartney, Yeah, so how would
Speaker 3: you describe that?
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise, I would say, wait for this, a cornucopia
Speaker 1: of people that are truly having like think about that.
Speaker 2: We are in London, Sir.
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney is outside of the tent where he could
Speaker 1: clearly just go in and hide away from the masses
Speaker 1: of fans, but he's out there dancing to but Daddy,
Speaker 1: I love him.
Speaker 2: Knock it off. You have like you mentioned he ran,
Speaker 2: you have Tom Cruise, you have.
Speaker 1: All of these people, you have the most famous people
Speaker 1: in the whole world, and then you have these daughters
Speaker 1: and their dads or their moms or whatever. It's like
Speaker 1: it's literally just everyone coming together who are like pure
Speaker 1: joy is the way that I would sum it up.
Speaker 1: And I think that first of all, obviously, because I
Speaker 1: was dancing around, it went by so fast.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was so bummed. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I want more. Poor girl. She's like three and a
Speaker 2: half hours.
Speaker 1: In enough for you, lady, But like I wanted, I
Speaker 1: wanted more, and the crowd was screaming more.
Speaker 3: I just love.
Speaker 2: I loved it. Pure Joe is how I would sum
Speaker 2: it up. Pure joy.
Speaker 1: Feeling comfortable in your skin even though I look like
Speaker 1: a soccer mom, which there's nothing wrong with that, missus
Speaker 1: Beckham suck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do we say that you were in jeans
Speaker 2: and a T shirt? What am I missing? I mean whatever,
Speaker 2: I was comfortable, it was.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. I mean I came home. I remember
Speaker 1: somebody was like, was it worth it? I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: I want to go again.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, like we have football on all the weekends
Speaker 1: she's coming to the States.
Speaker 2: I'd love to try to figure it out.
Speaker 1: She's Yeah, I will say this and again if I
Speaker 1: think we said this as we left the concert. If
Speaker 1: you don't like her and you don't like her work ethic,
Speaker 1: and you don't like how she makes people happy, then
Speaker 1: you don't.
Speaker 3: I got nothing.
Speaker 2: I know, Yeah, I got nothing to say to you
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's clear obviously our affection and admiration for her,
Speaker 1: but I just think in general, in a world where
Speaker 1: everyone has something negative, like finds a negative, there was
Speaker 1: I remember I was telling Travis's story about when I
Speaker 1: first fell in love with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Was because my niece.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've said it before on here,
Speaker 1: but when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor, all
Speaker 1: she wanted to do when she got out of that
Speaker 1: hospital at six years old was go to a Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift concert. And this has now been fourteen years and
Speaker 1: so we were at the Taylor Swift concert with this
Speaker 1: poor little baby all bandaged up, and she was singing
Speaker 1: every song and just like pure joy. And I was
Speaker 1: telling Taylor, or I was telling Travis this story, and
Speaker 1: he goes You know what's crazy, christ Like, how many
Speaker 1: of those stories that you hear, and every single one
Speaker 1: is about how she has brought like so much joy
Speaker 1: to somebody or made them feel better or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And like, you know, hard it is.
Speaker 1: I'm sure like to be consistently nice, I'm not like
Speaker 1: and it's just you know, she probably just wants to break,
Speaker 1: but she all of these stories and all of these
Speaker 1: things are always about how she goes out of her
Speaker 1: way above and beyond you people feel great. So if
Speaker 1: you have a problem with her, well you're the problem.
Speaker 3: It's you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had so much fun, so many good memories.
Speaker 1: We're so manifesting when we're going to meet Taylor over
Speaker 1: cocktails in.
Speaker 2: The New Year, so all of that.
Speaker 1: Just always loved talking about it and kind of peeking
Speaker 1: out with you guys. Okay, Next up, we had on
Speaker 1: one of our favorites KB Kevin Kirkhart a little baby KK.
Speaker 1: He had some great travel and airport bar stories. We
Speaker 1: also talked to him about going from a car salesman
Speaker 1: to calling the Super Bowl and working the World Series,
Speaker 1: all of those he does so well and like we said,
Speaker 1: we love him so much. One of the articles that
Speaker 1: Aaron sent me in case I didn't know your backstory,
Speaker 1: which I do, and it's one thing maybe that we
Speaker 1: have in common. keV. You and I have both got
Speaker 1: out the forefront of selling some Chevrolets. All right, just
Speaker 1: off Ive four or five, Exit eighteen and Kirkland Lee
Speaker 1: Johnson Chevrolet, come on down. You and I should have
Speaker 1: like a spokesperson like sound off before you well in
Speaker 1: conjunction was starting your career. You went and also sold cars.
Speaker 1: So I need you to give us the backstory and
Speaker 1: your own words about how that happened where you went
Speaker 1: as the headline, and I will read the headline, which
Speaker 1: made me so happy because again you deserve all the
Speaker 1: recognition in the world. Kevin Burkhart, one time car salesman,
Speaker 1: is Fox's new NFL play by play guy. He was
Speaker 1: a used car salesman. Now he's calling the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So how do you go from that? Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: by the way, wrote that that's pretty big shit when
Speaker 1: you have a whole article about you.
Speaker 2: I didn't get asked for that one weird.
Speaker 5: I'm like, what can I do to put you in
Speaker 5: this New Tahoe touchdown Cowboy? It's all on the same
Speaker 5: it's all on the same breath, you know what, it's
Speaker 5: actually really it's actually really fun story. And if we
Speaker 5: don't do it, if we don't do a car commercial together,
Speaker 5: at some point, I don't even know what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Seriously, Fox is missing a huge opportunity here with the
Speaker 1: two of I mean, hello.
Speaker 2: You've got a friend in the car business. We'll do
Speaker 2: our jingle later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I could. I don't remember the jingle, but
Speaker 5: I did do a commercial for them, ironically later and
Speaker 5: it was horrendous, but I did it.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got to do You remember any part of it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: I remember all because we played it on the Baseball
Speaker 5: post game show. They busted my playing it. Yeah. It
Speaker 5: was just like me and this. It was me and this,
Speaker 5: like this giant Like I had a shirt that was
Speaker 5: like sixteen X and I weighed like one hundred and
Speaker 5: seventy pounds. I was like, Hi, welcome to Pine Belt Chevrolet.
Speaker 5: And I was like, I can't believe that guy's on
Speaker 5: the air doing like the Fox A game. It's wild.
Speaker 5: But anyway, yeah, so I went. I just basically as
Speaker 5: we've all been, right, you get hit these parts where
Speaker 5: you're just okay and I just hit a wall, and
Speaker 5: I was like, why can't I get a break? I
Speaker 5: don't understand what's going on. And so I literally just
Speaker 5: went through the Sunday Classifies back when the newspaper was
Speaker 5: still being delivered, and I found a car dealership and
Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, I'll go to that.
Speaker 5: I had no idea to sell, how to sell cars,
Speaker 5: any of that stuff, and I just went in. The
Speaker 5: guy said okay, sure you're hired, and then I kind
Speaker 5: of said, well, yeah, I think I'm a sportscaster. So
Speaker 5: he's like or whatever, and then like we just started
Speaker 5: talking and he like I got like some some opportunities
Speaker 5: to fill in occasionally on like WCBS in New York,
Speaker 5: and and then he just he heard me one night
Speaker 5: driving home from the dealership and he's like, man, he's like,
Speaker 5: you're really good. He's like okay, He's like, so you
Speaker 5: let me know when you get like for this opportunities.
Speaker 5: I'll just let you go. Just keep it between me
Speaker 5: and you. So he turned into a real friend, and
Speaker 5: this guy by named Mike Travina, who still owns one
Speaker 5: of the couple of the dealerships, and so it became
Speaker 5: like a relationship and like when I got gigs, he
Speaker 5: just let me go and then I sold. You know,
Speaker 5: I did pretty well selling cars. So it actually was
Speaker 5: really I enjoy talking back because I enjoyed telling young
Speaker 5: people like, hey, like you know, I was in the
Speaker 5: middle of it trying to figure it out too. You
Speaker 5: don't you don't have to like get it right out
Speaker 5: of college and go to the you know, the top
Speaker 5: thing like you can. Your path can be kind of weird.
Speaker 5: So it was a good It was a good learning experience,
Speaker 5: no doubt. I actually took a lot from it. It
Speaker 5: was cool.
Speaker 2: That's a big thing.
Speaker 1: It taught you, sorry ct when a kind of holding
Speaker 1: out and having a schlap and sell cars and all that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the big it's er It's a great question. Quite simply.
Speaker 5: It just taught me to ask for stuff I wanted.
Speaker 5: And because I was always like it don't rock the book,
Speaker 5: I still kind of am.
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty laid back, you guys, know, like I'm unless
Speaker 5: I get to the point where something really pisses me off,
Speaker 5: like which doesn't happen very often at all, and so
Speaker 5: I'm usually just to go with the flow guy and
Speaker 5: like doing that job very simply. You either asked for
Speaker 5: what you want or you don't do you don't put money,
Speaker 5: and you don't pay rent, you know. So it just
Speaker 5: taught me to negotiate, to ask for things because the
Speaker 5: worst people could say is no. And then from there
Speaker 5: I took that lesson and like I called a guy
Speaker 5: who I'd worked with before. It was a program director
Speaker 5: at the Fan in New York, Eric Spitz. I just
Speaker 5: called him. I said, Hey, I think I'm good enough
Speaker 5: to work at your station, Like, can I audition? And
Speaker 5: he said, Uh, okay, come in Friday. I'm like what.
Speaker 5: So it's just like a It was just a simple lesson,
Speaker 5: but it was just one that I just, I guess
Speaker 5: I just never knew how to do. So it taught
Speaker 5: me a very valuable skill.
Speaker 1: But don't you also appreciate that you had to do
Speaker 1: things like that, because now when you sit in a
Speaker 1: booth and you call a Super Bowl, or you sit
Speaker 1: on that desk alongside Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter or
Speaker 1: Big Poppy and you're at the world here, he's like you,
Speaker 1: I imagine, because it's how I feel when we've all
Speaker 1: had the great fortune of living out our dream job
Speaker 1: is that You're like, oh, but it didn't No one
Speaker 1: just handed you a willy want a golden ticket. It
Speaker 1: is like, you get to do this, you had to
Speaker 1: go through all these other things where you had to work,
Speaker 1: you know, your way up to get to where you are.
Speaker 1: So I imagine the appreciation is there and you wouldn't
Speaker 1: change it for the world.
Speaker 5: Your spot on I mean, you know me, well, I
Speaker 5: would never change it, and I would never I will
Speaker 5: never not appreciate what I'm doing because I know the
Speaker 5: alternative right and just sitting there trying to climb the
Speaker 5: ladder and hope you get any anywhere near the top.
Speaker 5: Forget about to the top, just you know, getting traction
Speaker 5: and moving up in the industry and doing things you
Speaker 5: want to do. So yeah, from there, there's never a
Speaker 5: time that I don't go and walk a field at
Speaker 5: a stadium with Aaron and not look around just for
Speaker 5: a second and be like, this is pretty cool that
Speaker 5: I am standing on this field and going to talk
Speaker 5: to all these people later doing this like there's never
Speaker 5: one game where that doesn't happen. And you're right, it's
Speaker 5: because of that experience and like my journey here and
Speaker 5: you know everyone. You know, there's a lot of people
Speaker 5: that come out and go right in the star is
Speaker 5: right from school or right from high school. Like, God
Speaker 5: bless them. That's great. I don't think I would have been.
Speaker 5: I think the way that I did it was good
Speaker 5: for me, Like I don't. I think it helped me
Speaker 5: get to be who I am today. So I embrace it.
Speaker 5: I really do. I'm happy it happened that way.
Speaker 1: I want best cars sales pitch. I like say, I'm
Speaker 1: just going in as a woman. What things should I
Speaker 1: stay away from from guys like you? What things are
Speaker 1: like you? You? Son?
Speaker 2: Don't tell me? Like what what? What is one? What's
Speaker 2: your always your go to?
Speaker 1: Like I always have my fallback go to question for
Speaker 1: Kyle at halftime or Matt at halftime?
Speaker 2: What was your go to sales pitch?
Speaker 5: What is most important to you? It was always like okay, oh,
Speaker 5: people always had a trigger, So it was always is
Speaker 5: the monthly payment important? Is it a newer used car?
Speaker 5: Is it a certain feature in the car? Like they
Speaker 5: always had a trigger. So it was finding out what
Speaker 5: that trigger was and then kind of working off of that.
Speaker 5: The crazy thing is that I don't know if it's
Speaker 5: still the same. I mean this was one that I
Speaker 5: last sell cars. I mean, I don't remember.
Speaker 3: It's all the.
Speaker 1: Same as a daughter of a used car salesman a visits.
Speaker 1: It's all the same that if you can sell, you
Speaker 1: can sell. It doesn't matter if this is nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: six or if it's twenty twenty four. Like that's all
Speaker 1: the same, true.
Speaker 3: No doubt.
Speaker 5: But Christy, you know, like the crazy thing is and
Speaker 5: I tell people this and they still don't blame it
Speaker 5: like you would, just the way it's structure. And maybe
Speaker 5: it's not like this at every place, but you know,
Speaker 5: our place had depended on you know, what kind of
Speaker 5: incentives the dealer had and things like that, and you
Speaker 5: get paid a lot on structure, like if you sold
Speaker 5: eight cars that month, you got a bonus, you know,
Speaker 5: something like that. And there would be times where I
Speaker 5: would sell, you know, a fifty thousand dollars suburban and
Speaker 5: I would make fifty dollars on the sale, and it
Speaker 5: made no sense, like literally no sense. So it was
Speaker 5: like it was just no rhyme or reason to sometimes
Speaker 5: it depended and then there'd be other times you sell
Speaker 5: a twenty five thousand dollars car but the dealer owned
Speaker 5: it for a certain price and you'd make a good amount.
Speaker 5: You made a couple grands. So it just it was
Speaker 5: a you had to be like, Okay.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the I'm only I'm only
Speaker 1: interjecting because I think it's one of the hardest thing. Again,
Speaker 1: my father worked construction, hurt his back, and then he
Speaker 1: had to sell cars, and so I watched him growing
Speaker 1: up like that idea and then eventually, to his credit,
Speaker 1: like you like, he ended up owning the dealership where
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't become the lead announcer for Fox,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure he would have loved that opportunity. But
Speaker 1: when you watch the buddy, but you're dependent, sales is
Speaker 1: the hardest thing to do because there is no guaranteed
Speaker 1: money and you have a family to support, and it
Speaker 1: was like the stress that comes with that.
Speaker 2: But so I give so much.
Speaker 1: I have so much respect for doing that job, and
Speaker 1: not only doing that job, because I've watched it be
Speaker 1: hard for my father, but also because you were willing
Speaker 1: to do anything to support your family, and I think
Speaker 1: that that's something that's like so commendable. Here's the one
Speaker 1: thing that my dad talked yeah. My dad always told
Speaker 1: me don't close after the sale. Like if I'm on
Speaker 1: the lot and I'm like, okay, i'll take it, and
Speaker 1: then you keep being like and there's air conditioning and
Speaker 1: there's this, it's like, ooh.
Speaker 2: They already got it.
Speaker 1: Don't shut up, just shut off because now you might
Speaker 1: say more and it's like they've already said they're going
Speaker 1: to buy the car. So like so many times, and
Speaker 1: I think about this in my own life, like if
Speaker 1: like whatever, I get a job and I'm like, okay, but.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna work really hard and I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: It's like, you're shut up. We just gave you the job,
Speaker 1: now you're ruining it. Walk away, Go sign the goddamn
Speaker 1: paperwork before they take it back.
Speaker 2: So don't close after the sale was big, and I.
Speaker 5: Promise you will regret it and I'll keep you.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. It's like okay, lady, But yeah, I just
Speaker 2: love that. That's so great.
Speaker 1: Well, Kevin, it's not a surprise to me though, that
Speaker 1: you were successful at that because, and I say this
Speaker 1: so unbiasedly, just yes, I feel lucky enough to be
Speaker 1: your teammate, as I know Aaron does. But you are
Speaker 1: one of the nicest. Anyone listening to this, you have
Speaker 1: to know that what you see is what you get
Speaker 1: With Kevin. There's no like he's one person on TV
Speaker 1: and another person when the TV.
Speaker 2: You know, he walks out of the booth and takes
Speaker 2: the mic.
Speaker 1: Not true, Okay you, Sassy, Kevin is a fucking time Okay.
Speaker 1: I meant the kind person that, like, you know, he's
Speaker 1: not an asshole behind the scene, Sassy, yes, but kind
Speaker 1: Kevin in the person that like, no matter what would
Speaker 1: happen in life, like you would always be there. And
Speaker 1: I just love you for that. You are so consistent
Speaker 1: in that department. Now, Sassy, let's turn it over to
Speaker 1: Aaron from or On that there'll be times and no
Speaker 1: one knows is better than Kevin and curs out. We
Speaker 1: are week twelve, we are week ten, We're tired, we're sassy.
Speaker 1: We're boarding an airline and maybe you can't all go together,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's like you get somebody that's loading into
Speaker 1: the plane that just isn't too happy. And this one
Speaker 1: turns around to me as he's as he's boreding, and
Speaker 1: he goes Wow, strict Saturdays in full effect, And I'm
Speaker 1: just like sassy Kevin is bored in the plane my
Speaker 1: man to Detroit.
Speaker 2: The one liners this guy has are insane. They're insane.
Speaker 5: I'll throw out some one liners. I you know, Aaron
Speaker 5: loves the sassy keV. We were talking about John Lynch earlier.
Speaker 5: He used to say, the jersey's coming out, like the
Speaker 5: jersey's coming out. Oh kybe the jersey KBS coming out
Speaker 5: a little bit now, Yeah, yeah, you get that. You
Speaker 5: get it. You know, I get some moments because I
Speaker 5: love that though. I may save a couple for Aaron
Speaker 5: on weekends just to you know, just to I save
Speaker 5: them up so then I could unload them on you know.
Speaker 1: My favorite is when keV just said, you know, from
Speaker 1: everything that he's gone through in his career to be
Speaker 1: where he is now, that's why he takes an extra
Speaker 1: minute to enjoy walking around the field. I was going
Speaker 1: to say, except when you're going and you're you're broadcasting
Speaker 1: a Detroit Lions game and the punter smokes your fucking.
Speaker 3: Hand with a ball.
Speaker 2: What was his hand was fucking broken?
Speaker 5: John Fox saved my life like we were we were?
Speaker 3: That was?
Speaker 5: I forgot about that? That was last year, right? Was
Speaker 5: that last Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was it Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5: No, it wasn't Thanksgiving. I think we were there another time. No,
Speaker 5: it definitely wasn't Thanksgiving. I know that it was. It
Speaker 5: was weak too, were there, Yeah, that's right, Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: It was weak too, and we were we were we
Speaker 5: were down on the you know you're at you know
Speaker 5: it is. You always have to pay attention when you're
Speaker 5: on the field, but we were like off the field.
Speaker 5: We were like off the sideline. I mean honestly five
Speaker 5: yards off the sideline, so usually there you're not going
Speaker 5: to get and no teams were warming up. This is
Speaker 5: like special teams period, so it's just like Fiel go
Speaker 5: unit stuff like that. So I wasn't even thinking of
Speaker 5: looking at the field at that time. So I'm talking,
Speaker 5: you know, we're talking to John Fox, and Aaron was
Speaker 5: was like over positioned this way, and I'm like I'm
Speaker 5: like looking this way and John John is like somehow
Speaker 5: looking back, and all of a sudden we're talking. John
Speaker 5: goes look out like last second and I so I
Speaker 5: just did this, and then the punt hits me like
Speaker 5: right here hand. It hit like my hand in my head,
Speaker 5: and I was like I had no idea how punt
Speaker 5: got there. But I guess, like uh, Jack Fox, the
Speaker 5: punter for Detroit, who by the way, was amazing. He
Speaker 5: came like running over like are you okay. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 5: like thank you, but like go do your job. But like,
Speaker 5: so we got me good, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 5: this is gonna be great. Do a game like can
Speaker 5: cuss race fantastic. But it hurt. It gave me like
Speaker 5: I was like, man, I don't know how you guys
Speaker 5: catch these things like it hurt. My hand was like
Speaker 5: blowing up. It was like all right, well see if
Speaker 5: it's broken. It was fine, but yeah, everyone's like we're
Speaker 5: getting you to the doctor right now. Get the doctor.
Speaker 5: She had me like lots and loaded.
Speaker 3: Get she got me.
Speaker 5: She got me, I she got me the whole thing.
Speaker 5: She took care of me.
Speaker 2: She is far before she was a mother to Mac.
Speaker 1: You are very good in those situations there in crisis situation.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, is there anyone better than Kevin Burkhart.
Speaker 2: The fact that this guy is just as nice as
Speaker 2: he is talented. He is a rare.
Speaker 1: Bird, one of one. We love you, Kevin. So we
Speaker 1: had so many amazing interviews. One that really stood out
Speaker 1: to us just because we loved her before we got
Speaker 1: a chance to interview her, and then after we spoke
Speaker 1: to her, we were like, oh my god, you are
Speaker 1: everything we wanted in more. Miranda Lambert talked about how
Speaker 1: things just get better once you get in your forties.
Speaker 2: She's learned from so many different lessons in her life.
Speaker 2: She's the ultimate girls girl.
Speaker 1: Also has an incredible line of boots that she's sent
Speaker 1: us that are so great you guys have to check
Speaker 1: it out at boot Barn. But we love Miranda Lambert
Speaker 1: and we appreciate how authentic she is amongst many other
Speaker 1: things you mentioned, like you've always been you and you've
Speaker 1: always been authentic, which is one of the many reasons
Speaker 1: that people love you. It's why we love you is
Speaker 1: because like it or not, Aaron and I very much
Speaker 1: are like who we are and that's sometimes met with criticism,
Speaker 1: but we don't care. I think we're both out of
Speaker 1: like fuck it like place in our lives and that
Speaker 1: we're very confident in our own life forty, better, worse
Speaker 1: and different.
Speaker 2: You just turned forty, right.
Speaker 4: I did, and it's awesome.
Speaker 2: It's awesome, Oh yaactly exactly.
Speaker 6: It's just it's a little it's freeing, and it feels like, yes,
Speaker 6: just more permission to like only care about the opinions
Speaker 6: of people that really matter to you, and the rest
Speaker 6: of them just they're noise. And I don't I give
Speaker 6: even less of a shit now about the noise, because
Speaker 6: I want the people in circle that are really valuable
Speaker 6: to my laugh and that I value everything they say.
Speaker 6: I listen to them and I drawtled the noise, and
Speaker 6: I feel like turning forty really helped me like do
Speaker 6: that even more. And everyone that's in there forty says
Speaker 6: it's the best decade, and so I'm like, let's go.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1: Is there a song that you love on this new album,
Speaker 1: Postcards from Texas, which, by the way, is coming out
Speaker 1: September thirteenth. Is that correct? Yeah? Yeah, that's right. Is
Speaker 1: there a song about not giving a shit? Because that's
Speaker 1: really been Chris and I's anthem. Although I do love
Speaker 1: armadillo because that was my secret password when I was
Speaker 1: a child and we lived in Texas. If a stranger
Speaker 1: ever picked us up, our parents are like the secret
Speaker 1: code word is armadillo?
Speaker 2: That ever happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but ially not give a Shit song like, don't
Speaker 1: give a shit now.
Speaker 6: I think Damite Randy is the closest, and there's also
Speaker 6: one called Bits on the Sauce, but.
Speaker 4: She doesn't it's so good. But yeah, you know, I
Speaker 4: just feel like, you know, and I had to do.
Speaker 6: I did Wranglers on this record too, and it felt
Speaker 6: really important to me. Like you know, people say, oh
Speaker 6: you're back, I'm like the fiery girl never left, you know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like there's songs on this record
Speaker 6: almost every song could have been on Kerosene, which is
Speaker 6: my very first album, or Crazy Ex Girlfriend or Revolution
Speaker 6: or there's like snippets of every phase of my musical
Speaker 6: career on this record, you know. So it feels I mean,
Speaker 6: my really good friends are texting me going this record
Speaker 6: feels like I could have heard damn It Randy on Revolution,
Speaker 6: and I could have heard Wranglers on Kerosene, and it's
Speaker 6: like that makes me feel even better, like I made
Speaker 6: the right choices and I and I stuck with my
Speaker 6: gut and made the record I was supposed to make
Speaker 6: for this time of my life.
Speaker 1: We're in so much of who you are is again
Speaker 1: but we love is that that not give a shit attitude,
Speaker 1: but in a way. I mean, there's all you know,
Speaker 1: there's the other side of that is, like you do
Speaker 1: care and there are so many headlines that get written
Speaker 1: and you have lived your life in a spotlight, So
Speaker 1: how do you balance that and where does your ca
Speaker 1: confidence come from to be able to just put away
Speaker 1: the noise and to know what's true to yourself and
Speaker 1: just sort of where does that all come from having
Speaker 1: lived in the spotlight for so long?
Speaker 6: You know, I didn't get into this for the spotlight
Speaker 6: at all. I love country music like I got into
Speaker 6: it because I am lucky enough to get a gift
Speaker 6: of songwriting, and I was like, oh, I have this,
Speaker 6: I have to do something good with it. And I
Speaker 6: just didn't never want to, you know, I never remember
Speaker 6: saying like I want to be famous or any of that.
Speaker 6: I wanted to make music that mattered and really, as
Speaker 6: a woman, use my songs and my voice to you know,
Speaker 6: lift up other women to save dogs, which I'm sure
Speaker 6: we'll talk about in.
Speaker 4: A minute, you know.
Speaker 6: I just I feel like I didn't get into it
Speaker 6: for that. So I've tried to not ever let that
Speaker 6: creep in because it's like it's also just noise and
Speaker 6: it's you know, It's not like it doesn't bother me sometimes.
Speaker 6: I mean, of course it does when people say things
Speaker 6: that aren't true, or take things out of context, or
Speaker 6: judge you on something that's completely fald, you know. But
Speaker 6: I know who I am, and I don't I don't
Speaker 6: surround myself with yes people. I have real friends in
Speaker 6: my life, real people, and my management team. I've been
Speaker 6: with my manager for twenty one years and it's an
Speaker 6: all girl team over there, and they'll tell me the truth,
Speaker 6: you know, and so I don't.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like it keeps me like in
Speaker 4: a good grounded place.
Speaker 6: And I've really worked on that my whole life to
Speaker 6: stay grounded, even though this business is crazy.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's such a good I love we Aaron. I've
Speaker 1: obviously work in a male dominated industry. Okay, find all
Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff, and I've always been like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm a guy's girl whatever. As of the the last
Speaker 1: few years, I have leaned so hard on my girlfriends.
Speaker 1: Like I remember, I was in a terrible marriage and
Speaker 1: Aaron called me and she goes, I will not be
Speaker 1: friends with you anymore.
Speaker 2: If you stay in this, you're ruining your life. You're
Speaker 2: ruining yours.
Speaker 1: And she was the only person that would have the
Speaker 1: balls to say that to me, and she was exactly like,
Speaker 1: it was exactly what I needed and the catalyst to
Speaker 1: give me out. And I leaned so hard on my
Speaker 1: female relationships now. So that's so cool that you have
Speaker 1: because they'll save your life. They're like the life jacket
Speaker 1: on your boat that will just save you from drowning
Speaker 1: in your own shit sometimes.
Speaker 6: So they are and it's important to tell the truth,
Speaker 6: and it's important to lift each other up like good,
Speaker 6: bad and ugly, you know.
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of times people.
Speaker 6: Think women are like pitted against each other, and I
Speaker 6: just don't think that's true, not in my world.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm like, go run live your dream, be amazing.
Speaker 6: I'm here for the highs, I'm here for the lows,
Speaker 6: and my friends are there for me for both of
Speaker 6: those things too, And I just think, you know, it's
Speaker 6: a lot more energy to like, you know, somebody said this.
Speaker 4: The other day. I was on vacation with my manager.
Speaker 4: Went to Italy.
Speaker 6: It was amazing. We went to Como and Florence and Tuscany.
Speaker 4: It was awesome.
Speaker 6: For her birthday and there's a big group of people,
Speaker 6: and there was this really wise friend of hers, Elizabeth,
Speaker 6: and she said, you know, there's a difference in winning
Speaker 6: and wanting to beat everybody. And I was like, wow,
Speaker 6: Like that really struck me, because we can all win.
Speaker 6: But when you start trying to beat each other and
Speaker 6: like step on toes to get where you think you
Speaker 6: need to go, is where all the ugly comes in.
Speaker 6: And if you just stay in your lane and lift
Speaker 6: each other up and cheer for them even if they
Speaker 6: are ahead of you, it's like everybody, we're all gonna
Speaker 6: win in our way at some point, like you know.
Speaker 6: And I just think that resonated with me, and I'm
Speaker 6: gonna use that a lot in my last moving forwards.
Speaker 4: You know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about my nation, but I
Speaker 1: would be rerested if I didn't ask you this and
Speaker 1: maybe for you to give a little bit more of
Speaker 1: your pep talk motivation love to my best friend. You've
Speaker 1: been very public about what's gone on in your life
Speaker 1: in terms of marriage, finding love again, getting married again,
Speaker 1: and saying you know, I'm so glad I did it.
Speaker 1: This is the happiest I've seen my best friend in
Speaker 1: a relationship and it's one of those. And I don't
Speaker 1: know about you. Like my husband wants to hang out
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend, I call her boyfriend her husband because
Speaker 1: I want them to get married.
Speaker 2: What do you recommend about doing it again? Miranda?
Speaker 6: You know, I'm so happy I learned so much from
Speaker 6: all the experiences that were even you know, I always say,
Speaker 6: you don't learn when everything's going great. You don't learn
Speaker 6: when everything's this smooth fale, and you get the lessons
Speaker 6: hearing the hard stuff. And that's where I really grew
Speaker 6: as a woman and kind of grew in my heart
Speaker 6: and like understood myself more. And so I think I
Speaker 6: k I spent so much time like relearning myself during
Speaker 6: that really hard time to Like when I met Brendan,
Speaker 6: I felt like I was much more prepared and like
Speaker 6: much my heart was like much more open and ready
Speaker 6: to love.
Speaker 4: And I'm also a risk taker.
Speaker 6: I'm like, I take risk in my career, I take
Speaker 6: risk with my charity's and my brands, So why not
Speaker 6: take I mean no.
Speaker 4: Risk, no reward.
Speaker 6: It's like I know that love loving big means hurting big,
Speaker 6: but does subside, And so if that's the only risk
Speaker 6: is the pain I lived through that.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, let's go.
Speaker 6: Let's because I want the reward of what this great
Speaker 6: love can be and it's worth it to me to
Speaker 6: like just run and jump off that cliff, you know.
Speaker 4: And a lot of.
Speaker 6: My friends are like, they say to me, like, you're crazy,
Speaker 6: but we wish we were like that, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 4: So I think it's like, what do you have to lose?
Speaker 1: You know, it is really inspiring to hear that, because
Speaker 1: I do believe in love. And I will tell you
Speaker 1: who the number one indicators of a good man is dogs.
Speaker 1: When I first introduced my dogs to my boyfriend, they
Speaker 1: didn't bark, they didn't growl, and these dogs are like
Speaker 1: I've got six, Miranda, but these two in particular would
Speaker 1: be the first ones to be like warning, warning, like
Speaker 1: aboard mission. So when you know that, like you have
Speaker 1: a good man is when the dogs are all in.
Speaker 1: You do incredible things. You love dogs the way that
Speaker 1: Aaron and I do, and we I just mutt nation.
Speaker 1: Please tell everybody more about and how you got started
Speaker 1: and where your love of animals and particular dogs came from.
Speaker 6: Well, I had nine dogs when I met Brandon nine rescues.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, and I was like, now, I'm like,
Speaker 4: why didn't you think I was like a crazy dog lady?
Speaker 4: And yes, I am a crazy dog lady.
Speaker 6: So he saw that and married me anyway, but he like,
Speaker 6: but speaking of dogs, like, I started My Nation with
Speaker 6: my mom in two thousand and nine, and my mom
Speaker 6: and dad were private investigators my whole life, so we
Speaker 6: sort of like wanted to use her, like her experience
Speaker 6: and like vetting people to Like I was asking my
Speaker 6: fans to go, hey, I started a charity called My
Speaker 6: Nation Foundation. We're asking you for money, and I wanted
Speaker 6: to be able to tell them where their dollars were going,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, where, like what exactly we're
Speaker 6: spending this money on. And so my mom and I
Speaker 6: just started this little, you know, kind of a mom
Speaker 6: and pop operation back then to raise awareness for span
Speaker 6: neoter to push adopts adopted shop to we we started
Speaker 6: it just for that those small little reasons because I
Speaker 6: used to volunteer at the shelter in these Texas. But
Speaker 6: it just has grown so much and we've done such
Speaker 6: amazing programs and we've raised almost ten million dollars since
Speaker 6: did we start.
Speaker 1: Wow, ten million dollars, Maria, that's incredible, incredible.
Speaker 6: And we have saved hundreds and hundreds of dogs and
Speaker 6: we don't have a shelter some people. I mean, we
Speaker 6: got a text today it was like I found a dog.
Speaker 6: Like so I worked with a ton of shelters. What
Speaker 6: we say is that nation lifts up the shelters, like
Speaker 6: we help with renovations, we help with transport vans. We
Speaker 6: give grants every year to all fifty states, to shelter
Speaker 6: in all fifty states to you know, I just met
Speaker 6: a lady the other day that we had given a
Speaker 6: grant of five thousand dollars to last year and she
Speaker 6: bought a transport band because she saves mama dogs that
Speaker 6: had puppies, because she like fosters the puppies. I mean,
Speaker 6: just these little organizations all around the US that that
Speaker 6: people aren't really looking out for.
Speaker 4: That's where my nation comes in because we see them.
Speaker 6: Because we see them and they're small, and we also
Speaker 6: do huge things like when Harvey happened, we were booths
Speaker 6: on the ground. We had every vehicle we could find
Speaker 6: and we were down there moving dogs out and helping
Speaker 6: place local dogs. And it was one of the hardest
Speaker 6: but most rewarding things that I've ever been a part of.
Speaker 6: But you know, I'm just I'm really thankful that people
Speaker 6: are sewing into this charity.
Speaker 4: That's it's my number one passion.
Speaker 6: I mean, music and mouths are my two things that
Speaker 6: I live for, and so the fact that I can
Speaker 6: mix the two, that my music has got me a
Speaker 6: platform that can speak for the voiceless, makes me so happy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well I really want to get involved
Speaker 1: and I will talk to your people about that because
Speaker 1: I'm very passionate, but I don't have children, and like,
Speaker 1: these are my children, and my whole feed in Instagram
Speaker 1: is like dog rescue and savings, like literally then just
Speaker 1: crying and be like how can I help this random
Speaker 1: dog in Alabama? So I totally feel that, and Aaron
Speaker 1: does too. She's got her golden retriever Howie, and we're
Speaker 1: so passionate about that.
Speaker 2: So it's amazing. I can't believe you raised ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: That's really really, it's incredible.
Speaker 6: And you know, I will say that when sometimes people
Speaker 6: like I get overwhelmed, even like I'm like I'm not
Speaker 6: doing enough.
Speaker 4: I can't do enough. I can't save them all.
Speaker 6: But I do think that if people can't, you know,
Speaker 6: if they're not in a position to go adopt a dog,
Speaker 6: or they're not in a position to you know, volunteer
Speaker 6: for ten hours a week. It's like just one hour
Speaker 6: of your time a week, like can change the entire
Speaker 6: trajectory of a dog's path, like interacting with humans, getting
Speaker 6: them out of the their create or getting them out
Speaker 6: of their enclosure for an hour and human interaction. So
Speaker 6: like I encourage people, We're not asking just for money,
Speaker 6: maybe just an hour of your time a month. Even
Speaker 6: it's it's start small, because every little bit counts, And
Speaker 6: I have to remind myself of that all the time
Speaker 6: because I get overwhelmed. I follow all these filters and
Speaker 6: I'm like, how can we help? But that's what my
Speaker 6: nation is here for. It is like one little, one
Speaker 6: little step at a time, and we can do huge,
Speaker 6: amazing things.
Speaker 1: I can find out more about my nation and at
Speaker 1: muttnation dot com because that's where I went to check
Speaker 1: it all out.
Speaker 2: What's your biggest hope?
Speaker 1: What do you want to what do you want to
Speaker 1: get bigger and better about all this? What's your dream?
Speaker 6: I want to really raise awareness just keep raising awareness
Speaker 6: for people. Filters are not scary places. They seem scary,
Speaker 6: but they're amazing dogs that are already there that need homes.
Speaker 6: So we need to cut down on the breeding span.
Speaker 6: Neoter is so important, y'all. It's like there's just there's
Speaker 6: this you know, rush of this certain kind of breed
Speaker 6: everybody wants, and then everybody breeds it and then they
Speaker 6: bring them to the shelters, and it's just it keeps
Speaker 6: perpetuating the problem, so, you know, and raising more money.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm doing a show in Nashville on October
Speaker 6: fifth atisond called Music for Months, and it's all the
Speaker 6: money goes straight to the my Nation, so we can
Speaker 6: fill our pot again and start pushing out money to
Speaker 6: all of the amazing people we work with. And this
Speaker 6: awareness is our biggest thing. Like I really want to
Speaker 6: encourage people to just give it a shot.
Speaker 4: Just go buy the shelter. If you're in the market
Speaker 4: at all to adopt.
Speaker 6: Just stop by and see, like who grabs your heart,
Speaker 6: because they will.
Speaker 1: It's so it's funny to say that because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want to adopt them all. And so I recently
Speaker 1: have purchased a ranch, a much smaller ranch than yours.
Speaker 4: I know you have.
Speaker 2: I think you have four hundred acres?
Speaker 4: Is that right outside of Nashville?
Speaker 2: Incredible?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I just want to rescue them
Speaker 1: all and bring them all to the ranch they can
Speaker 1: just run around and be free. But it's really beautiful
Speaker 1: what you've done, and I definitely want to and we'll
Speaker 1: get involved to help you.
Speaker 2: So let's just go back to your other passion of music.
Speaker 1: You have done so much and obviously in the world
Speaker 1: that Aaron and I are in with athletes, we're constantly
Speaker 1: asking them, you know, what do you want to your
Speaker 1: bucket list of like check off the things?
Speaker 2: Do you want to win the MVP?
Speaker 1: Obviously their goal is always to win a Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 1: Do you have goals that you set for yourself? I
Speaker 1: mean the countless awards that you've already achieved in your career?
Speaker 1: And is this your tenth record?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's TENTHU your double digits sister.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there is there a checklist of what
Speaker 1: you want to achieve or do you just can You
Speaker 1: need to live out your dream every day and be
Speaker 1: grateful for where it goes.
Speaker 4: I want I have a lot I want to do.
Speaker 4: I don't have it like all.
Speaker 6: I actually talked to my manager about that this morning
Speaker 6: on the phone that I want to like lay it
Speaker 6: out on paper. And the great part about it all
Speaker 6: is that I'm only just turned forty and I achieved
Speaker 6: so many of those from my.
Speaker 4: Like goal list early, which was really.
Speaker 2: Over you like I thought, you know so, But I really.
Speaker 4: Feel like music has led to so many things. My nation.
Speaker 6: I mean, I want to keep growing and getting bigger
Speaker 6: and better with that. My brand idle Wind at boot Barn,
Speaker 6: I'm super involved in that. Like you have the fringe.
Speaker 6: I'm super involved that nothing I have my name on.
Speaker 6: I see everything that has my name on it, like
Speaker 6: cats Rosa are Bar on Broadway. The first I just
Speaker 6: want to I like, three chords have have led me
Speaker 6: to all of this, and that's crazy to think about.
Speaker 4: You know, my dad taught me, taught me four in
Speaker 4: case I needed an.
Speaker 6: Extra, Yeah, taught me for towards at seventeen on the guitar,
Speaker 6: and since then, all all these other amazing things have
Speaker 6: come to fruition and so but all that to say,
Speaker 6: it starts with the music. So I just want to
Speaker 6: keep creating because I just started a label called Big
Speaker 6: Cloud Texts. I'm a founder of that label to sew
Speaker 6: into younger artists, especially from our amazing states. So much
Speaker 6: music comes out, and there's so many kinds of music.
Speaker 6: So I just want to keep letting all the arms
Speaker 6: that have like reached out from the music grow. But
Speaker 6: I have to keep that creative part so sacred because
Speaker 6: that's where it starts and ends.
Speaker 1: I was reading a great article where you talked about,
Speaker 1: you know, much like Chris, I don't have kids. Chris
Speaker 1: has got, you know, all her animals. I know you
Speaker 1: do as well, but like to mentor young artists. And
Speaker 1: I'm not young and I'm not an artist, but I
Speaker 1: feel like you're mentoring me right now with all the
Speaker 1: things are saying.
Speaker 2: What kind of advice do you give them?
Speaker 1: What's your first piece of advice when they want to
Speaker 1: kind of try this industry out, or they have these
Speaker 1: dreams or want to, you know, write down these words
Speaker 1: on paper, what do you suggest to them?
Speaker 6: You know, my mom's advice to me when I started
Speaker 6: at seventeen was know who you are and stick with it,
Speaker 6: and that has gotten me through this crazy roller coaster
Speaker 6: of entertainment.
Speaker 4: Business.
Speaker 6: So I that's my first piece of advice. It's like,
Speaker 6: I want to know who you are. I want to
Speaker 6: know how hungry you are too, Like you have to.
Speaker 6: I mean, this is not for the fanto of heart,
Speaker 6: especially for female artists, like you got to really want
Speaker 6: it and know what it takes to get there. And
Speaker 6: so you know, I asked them to ask themselves that
Speaker 6: because my mom made me ask myself that and me
Speaker 6: not having a plan B.
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to go to college. I didn't. I
Speaker 4: wasn't very good at school.
Speaker 6: Like, I just knew that I wanted to chase this,
Speaker 6: and so my parents would like, think long and hard
Speaker 6: because there's no plan B.
Speaker 4: This is for college money like this it did, Oh
Speaker 4: my god.
Speaker 6: So I mean I feel like, you know, you can
Speaker 6: tell a early on if someone's gonna really want it,
Speaker 6: And I think the hunger for it and the passion
Speaker 6: for it is so important because it's hard.
Speaker 1: Aaron and I talk about that all the time, when
Speaker 1: you know women will ask us. Aaron and I both
Speaker 1: whatever we twenty years into this wonderful industry. This was
Speaker 1: both our dreams to be sports broadcasters, and we feel
Speaker 1: so grateful every.
Speaker 3: Day to do it.
Speaker 1: But young girls will be like I want to be
Speaker 1: on TV and you're like, okay, well, this ain't got
Speaker 1: to work because you have to be able to think
Speaker 1: about those you know long that weeks and months and whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're away from your friends and you're away from
Speaker 1: your family and you're staying in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: and like it sounds like a parallel path in a
Speaker 1: way of like you're playing those small bars that like
Speaker 1: no one's in and like you're having to do that.
Speaker 1: So when you say that your parents were like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's your college money.
Speaker 2: What were you using that money for?
Speaker 4: Like gas, to get to a club, a guitar? Like
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, it was.
Speaker 6: Like in my I mean my parents were cops and pis,
Speaker 6: Like we didn't have much, and so I knew, like
Speaker 6: if I use this, that's it, or I'm just gonna
Speaker 6: have to go work at the dog.
Speaker 4: Shelter, which also I would have loved. You can do
Speaker 4: both exactly now I get to do both.
Speaker 6: But this was it's just a it's a crazy path,
Speaker 6: but it's beautiful to be able to recognize early like
Speaker 6: this is my dream. I'm going for it, and like
Speaker 6: hill or high water and it takes grit and I
Speaker 6: love seeing that and people like you guys, because I
Speaker 6: know how hard it is to get to where you
Speaker 6: want to go, and not everyone is cut out for it,
Speaker 6: you know, but when you get there, then you have
Speaker 6: so many stories to tell and like you can help
Speaker 6: younger women go, hey, this is what it takes. And
Speaker 6: I'm here for the eyes goodbye and ugly, Like I'm
Speaker 6: close with Lanny Wilson and I'm so I love watching
Speaker 6: her star rise and like he called me one night
Speaker 6: and it was her. I was late at night and
Speaker 6: I was on the bus. She was on the bus
Speaker 6: and she's like, she's like, hey, I just want to
Speaker 6: call you because my song went number one, my very
Speaker 6: first number one, And she was like, I just wanted
Speaker 6: to hear your voice because I wanted to talk to
Speaker 6: somebody who knew exactly what that felts, like.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what does it really like? That's so amazing?
Speaker 6: Well, it feels like it feels like, oh my god,
Speaker 6: like relieving because you need it so bad, and then
Speaker 6: it feels like, oh shit, now here we go.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, because it's a big deal.
Speaker 6: So I just so things like that that's where I'm like,
Speaker 6: I'm glad y'all have each other. I'm glad that you
Speaker 6: can find this girl tribe that you can lift each
Speaker 6: other up and be like here for the highs, There
Speaker 6: for the lows.
