Well? I just knew that there 242 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: was some confidence there that I couldn't. I mean, it's 243 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: also like you hear somebody that you're like a massive 244 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: fan of and you're like, okay, that guy's good, and 245 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: the person that you think is good is telling you 246 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: you're good. So you're like, okay, well there's a little 247 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: validation there. He respected your music as well. 248 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty cool because even before he blew up, 249 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: you would hear him sing and you would go, oh, yeah, 250 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: he's really good. 251 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: I remember. 252 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: But it was like the first time that I heard 253 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 2: him sing. It was like, again, this is before he 254 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: even had an hit song. He was in studio and 255 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: he sings so violently, but he's a pure singer. At 256 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: the same time, he's incredible. It's one of those rare 257 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: where someone can go extremely hard. It's like oh, but 258 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: also like what do you want him to sing? 259 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: Like? It doesn't matter. 260 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't get the credit for being like a 261 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: pure vocalist because of how aggressive he sings, and also 262 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: just because he looks like a normal dude. But I 263 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: remember thinking that and if he thought I was good, 264 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: which he did not think I was a good singer, 265 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: so I don't know I have the same then I 266 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: think that would give me confidence. 267 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: And you felt that way about yourself, Yeah, I mean 268 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: it did. And I knew that he, you know, had 269 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: offered the invite to come to Nashville to write songs. 270 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: I knew that that's kind of not an inn and 271 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: tell him, but like, that's kind of where you start, 272 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: like when you get to hear right songs. So here's 273 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a guy that lives in Nashville doing what I want 274 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: to do, who is inviting me to write songs, and 275 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: so I take that opportunity. What was home like for 276 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: you growing up? Your parents? Were they together? They? Yep, 277 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: very supportive, very involved. I mean so music for me 278 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: started when I was like ten, singing in church and 279 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: like traveling all over the Southeast. My dad would get 280 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: off work on Friday and we'd pack my mom's expedition 281 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: with like sound equipment and we'd go sing at a 282 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: church or I would go sing at a church a 283 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: family and it was just me. 284 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: Oh so they were just being supportive. Yeah, so how 285 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: at ten? Why at ten did you want to start 286 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: singing in church? Did you have like friends that sang, 287 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: a youth director that sang? Like how did you get 288 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: involved there? 289 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: There was this guy in my church that sang and 290 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: he would literally go sit up set up sound equipment 291 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: in the Arby's parking lot and sing on like Friday nights. 292 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: And my parents would go up there and we'd like 293 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: spend Friday nights in the Arby's parking lot watching this 294 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: guy sing. And so he like introduced me to the 295 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: stage there. And so it's just like thing that developed 296 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: and just one thing led to another, and my parents, 297 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, always I wouldn't say they pushed me to 298 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: do it. But they saw that, you know, it was 299 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: something I wanted to do, and they whatever it took 300 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: for me to be able to do that super encouraging. 301 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: Oh very are they so proud of you now? I'd 302 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: like to think so. Yeah, I think so because I. 303 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: Think that would be pretty cool to have somebody that 304 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 2: you know and love kind of risk it. 305 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: All. 306 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: This is a wild industry where almost nobody makes it, 307 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: and if you do make it, you know, making it 308 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: is if you actually make its just paying your bills 309 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: like that. 310 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: That's been my goal, that's all. That's the only thing 311 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: that's ever been My goal is to provide for my 312 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: family doing what I love. So whatever that meant. 313 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: Anybody that can do an art they love and support 314 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: themselves like to me, that's making it. 315 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: That's it. 316 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: And the fact that you've been able to because you 317 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: said you hadn't written you hadn't really written in these songs, right, 318 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: not really? And again we're doing the greatest hits before 319 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: we get to specific stuff about you. 320 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: But it's like. 321 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: All the songs that you now have written, you know, 322 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: with and for Luke, were you sitting in rooms with 323 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: people that had written the way Nashville writes or were. 324 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Just you and Luke writing and he was learning. How 325 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: it was like it was me and Luke and other 326 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: folks that he had met the same way he had 327 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: met me in a sense. I mean we were just 328 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: learning together really, and we were just writing songs that 329 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: we would want to listen to. You know. It wasn't 330 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: We never never felt like we were chasing anything, which 331 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: is interesting. 332 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: But do you remember like learning the formula meaning Okay, 333 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna sit down, and this is very concept. 334 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: It's a very concept first town more so than a 335 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: melody town, right, and we're gonna go uh verse chorus, 336 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: uh bridge or verse bridge core, whatever the case, and going, oh, 337 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: this kind of makes sense. Now there's a formula. I 338 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: never really looked at song. Its like a formula, like 339 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: did you learn that when you hear or were you 340 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: just listening to enough song to sing enough songs that 341 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: you kind of understood that anyway, even before you you 342 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: wrote anything. 343 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just by listening to other songs and 344 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: kind of just learning that way. But there's so many 345 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: different it was. I was always like a stickler on 346 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: like rhymes and like you know, finding them the right 347 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: place to land and like the phrasing of the thing. 348 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: But I think that was, you know, from the music 349 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: that I grew. 350 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: Up on, Like prechorses were always trippy to me, because 351 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: I never even thought of such a thing, right, the 352 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: new choruses and I knew that. 353 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, pre chorus. Pre chorus is just 354 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: the thing that helps you like the end of your 355 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: verse doesn't quite carry you into the chorus. So you're 356 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: just like, well, we need to make something up that 357 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: gets us to the chorus. Yeah, but we can repeat that. 358 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: People will also sing, did you let's take Luke out 359 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: of this rite with anybody where you're like, holy crap. 360 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: I think I just took a lesson in writing early on. 361 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: Like Ben Hayslip, Yeah, he was one of the guys 362 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: that wrote with me early on. There was a few, 363 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: but I mean for the most part, it was just 364 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: people that I was meeting. 365 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: You go into the song rounds and you know, I 366 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: feel like I've been fortunate in my time here. Like 367 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: so we launched, we semi launched like a secret project. 368 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: And what do I know about songwriting? Nothing except for 369 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: I wrote comedy songs right, very different. I can write verse, chorus, 370 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: bridge chorus, chorus, chorus, chorus, as long as it's funny, 371 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, and as long as it grows. But me, 372 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: Ross Kapperman, Nicole Gallian we got together and we're like, 373 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: we're going to create this cartoon kind of like the 374 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: Mike who is a feel good the Gorillas, the Gorillas, 375 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: kind of like kind of the Gorilla. Actually, what it 376 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: happened was I'd seen a thing in like sixty minutes. 377 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: We're in Japan. They have a hologram. 378 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: It does like ten to at once, and I'm like, oh, 379 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: this is how we make money. 380 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: Holy cas. 381 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 2: So I went to Ross and I was like, well, 382 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: let's let's write a bunch of songs. Not really knowing 383 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: anything other than writing comedy songs. I was like, let's 384 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: we're gonna build this hologram and it's going to open 385 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: for everybody at once, and we're gonna sit home account 386 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: our money. 387 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: That's brilliant, and so he was like, let's go. 388 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: And so we got in a call and we went 389 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: and wrote every week everywhere, and I remember just going, oh, 390 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: I had no idea, Like I thought I. 391 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: Had an idea, and I knew music. I knew how 392 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: to write that. 393 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: But just like the precision of like really talented songaters 394 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 2: and you're one of those now. But when I was 395 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: newly kind of adopted into let's write this stuff, I 396 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: was just like, oh, I had no idea you could 397 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: do so many things with songs and concepts and turning 398 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: meanings around and flipping things like I got a big lesson, And. 399 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from for me, Like 400 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of always been like what fires me up 401 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: is like trying to find an idea that can be flipped. 402 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: You know. Now we get in rooms and we're like, well, 403 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: let's not do the We don't there's no reason for 404 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: us to do the trick, you know what I mean, 405 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: like make it mean something else, but saying the same 406 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: thing the whole time. But that's fun to me. That's 407 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: like a you know, it's like a puzzle, putting a 408 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: puzzle together in more ways than ones. So but I don't, 409 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I think it just honestly learning. We were 410 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: all learning together. 411 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: To be honest with you, that's fine because again there's 412 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: not a lot of pressure there. There was none that 413 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: was learning, you know, there was we didn't have publishing deals. 414 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 2: I met a guy there was a guy he was 415 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 2: teaching like a music class at Uga and Athens. 416 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: I didn't go there, but I didn't. I grew up 417 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: not far from there. But he was a songwriter, Like 418 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: he wrote some Reeven McIntyre hits back in the day, 419 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: and I cold like emailed him one day and I 420 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, I'm a new songwriter, like looking 421 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: for advice, honestly, and I remember him specifically saying, find 422 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: someone that you believe in and write as many songs 423 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: as you can with them. What I didn't realize is 424 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: I was already doing that with Luke. And I mean 425 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't until years later that I kind of realized 426 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: that the device he had given me something that I 427 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: was already doing. That's super Bowl. He responded like that, though, 428 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: yeah it was. I mean what incredible advice. I mean 429 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: it's advice that I give today, Like, find somebody you 430 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: would bet everything on and just go write a bunch 431 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: of songs with them. 432 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: I wonder your direction because you move here obviously you're 433 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: a singer and your writing and you're an artist, and 434 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: you're in the Luke camp before it's officially been a camp, 435 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: Like it's just a couple of tenths before it turned 436 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: into a full fledged camp because Luke's success took off. 437 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: Were you like, all right, we're just gonna be the 438 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 2: engine on this thing for a little bit. Yeah, for sure, 439 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: more so than I'm gonna take and go. Because it 440 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: is a grind to be an artist, a new artist, 441 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: because you have to do radio tour, you have to 442 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: You've got to be gone a lot, making no money. 443 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: But now the group that you had cultivated with like 444 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 2: minded people, they're all enjoyed writing together. That started to hit, 445 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: That started to hit. Did you make a conscious decision 446 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 2: of all right, I'm still gonna play, but I can't 447 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 2: really go and pursue this full artist thing because I 448 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: really believe what we're doing now and I want to 449 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: get out of it what I can. 450 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely part of it, But it was 451 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: also just I was still learning and preparing myself for 452 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: who exactly I wanted to be as an artist. And 453 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: I mean that being an artist is exactly what I 454 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: moved here for. I wanted to sing, and I wanted 455 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: to play shows, and I wanted to be an artist. 456 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: Songwriting was like a gift that I discovered God and 457 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: given me, like kind of after I got here. It 458 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: just kind of happened, right, And but once the started 459 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: having cuts and that kind of thing, it's you kind 460 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: of go through your head of like, okay, now, which 461 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: do I really want this thing? Or is this good enough? 462 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: And ultimately I decided that how bad I wanted to 463 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: be an artist. And but I still think about those moments, 464 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: and there's a pivotal moments of like holding onto a 465 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: song or you know, letting a song go. But yeah, 466 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: it was. It was a fun time and still is 467 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: a fun time to be in in that the songwriting 468 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: process writing songs for other folks too. You mostly write 469 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: for yourself now, no really, I mean when I was 470 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: working on this record, I mean I was writing pretty 471 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: hard for myself. But that was the first time I'd 472 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: ever really written for myself, even like all the EPs 473 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: that I'd put out, that was just me writing songs, 474 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: just trying to write a good song, and if it 475 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: wound up with somebody, that was fine, and if it didn't, 476 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: it was you know, I's gonna be able to record it. 477 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, 478 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: and we're back on the Bobby Cast. 479 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: A couple of things that stand out to me from 480 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: what you just said, the maturity to go I'm still 481 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 2: finding myself as an artist because I did not have 482 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: never had that. I'm just like, I know who I am. 483 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: I'm about to find it who I am. I'm lowering 484 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: my head and going full speed speed into everything. And 485 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 2: what you just said, you were like, I'm still kind 486 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: of finding myself as an artist. So I was here 487 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: and you were investing time in learning how to write, 488 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: like that feels pretty mature for somebody that was in 489 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: their twenties, because I thought added all figured out. 490 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I have my wife to think for 491 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of that. I mean, I've been married pretty 492 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: much ever since I got to town, so I didn't 493 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: have anything that I had to say. I mean, I 494 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: really didn't, and I was just kind of preparing myself 495 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: for those moments and making sure that that's exactly what 496 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: I wanted to do.

I'm we're close to that family, and Jake 544 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 2: had a ton of success, and I think Jake was 545 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 2: then trying to find himself as an artist. He'd That 546 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: song kind of put him back on in a major way. 547 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: And I remember the first time that he played it, 548 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, God, dang, and. 549 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: That it's a trick.

We write like a 571 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: verse and a chorus, and if you listen to that course, 572 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: it says homemade fifty billion times in it. So getting 573 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: those to like land in the pocket in the right 574 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: place was like kind of hard and like tripping us 575 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: up a little bit. And we had the whole lyrics, 576 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: the melody was pretty much mapped out, but it wasn't 577 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: like nailed, and we were like struggling pretty good on it, 578 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: and Jared Mullins goes, hey, I was with Bobby Pinson 579 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: last night.

It was 589 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: a crazy moment in my personal life with my wife. 590 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: I was there. I had never written a song. I 591 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: mean usually it's like, you know, maybe on average, I 592 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: would say three hours to write a song. Well, this 593 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: started at like maybe ten or eleven AM. And at 594 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: nine pm we were still there and my wife's like, 595 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: where you at. I'm like writing.

And so we left that 598 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: night with a demo and the full song done, and 599 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: I think it went on hold that night, but not 600 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: with Jake, and it was kind of a crazy it 601 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: like got passed around town and can you can you 602 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: say who?

It's like, 775 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the part you know, nobody talks about 776 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: or tells you about when you sign up for this, 777 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: you know. And so that was kind of what I 778 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: was writing it when I was writing about this song. 779 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 2: There's a him at the very last track, one of 780 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 2: the last tracks, like maybe last track, yeah, last track, 781 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 2: traditional Ham.

Can also understand 788 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 2: when someone goes, I want to write all my own songs. 789 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: Oh for sure, both those. 790 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 2: But I always there's like a little bit of me like, 791 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: really appreciate somebody that is a really successful songwriter who 792 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 2: finds a song they like that represents them that they 793 00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 2: didn't write. 794 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: And I love this. I'm gonna put it on my Yeah. 795 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: I've never I've never truly like cared whether I wrote 796 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: my own songs or not. I mean, if I think 797 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: if I say something that I want to say good enough, 798 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: then I'll record it. But if something, if somebody else 799 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: wrote a song said it better than I could say it, 800 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: I have no problem doing that. 801 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: One of these songs speak for you as good as 802 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 2: you could have spoken for yourself once that you didn't write. 803 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, look don't live around here. I mean, that's 804 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: just something I would like say. I remember, like growing up, 805 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: my mom was like if she ever heard me, like 806 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: say something about being lucky, She's like, son, we're not lucky, 807 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: we're blessed. And I was like true. And when I 808 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: heard the song, I was like I could just hear 809 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: my mom like just saying that, and so it was 810 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: you know, that was something that I was like, man, dad, 811 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: gum it.

I don't know, it doesn't need 824 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 2: to be a song written by me. Yeah, that's really cool. 825 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: With your record?

I 832 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 2: would like, how are they feeling about it on that side? 833 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's just everything's slow, is you know 834 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: what I'm being told? You know, once we get through summer, 835 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I do know that, Like there are 836 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: some places that it's researching well already, So like I 837 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: feel like once it gets to the place where everybody 838 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: starts for searching it, that's at least this is what 839 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm being told. 840 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: What do you mean to do because I think it's 841 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: a great song. The problem that I get into there 842 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 2: gets to be a point. And I don't really have 843 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 2: any rules. I don't program music, but sometimes I just 844 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 2: like a song and'll be like, I'm just gonna play 845 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 2: it for a while, and I've had some decent success. 846 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 2: But the where the issue for me gets when someone 847 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 2: gets up to about forty thirty if I play it 848 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 2: like on my radio show. And I haven't been in 849 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 2: the music world for a bit, but I was like 850 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 2: music director years ago, and like, I understand how the 851 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 2: crap works, and trust me, it's a crap, not music. 852 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 2: Just have the system, right, Yeah, If I play the song, 853 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 2: it freaking spikes the crap out of it, and the 854 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 2: next week if it doesn't meet that spike, everyone's like, 855 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: oh god, the arrows down. So it puts me in 856 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 2: this precarious situation sometimes because there are things that I 857 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 2: really like and like to support, which is why I'm 858 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 2: glad you're here, because I like the song a lots 859 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 2: and I'm happy I like play it a little bit, 860 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 2: but I never want to get to the point where 861 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 2: it's like arrow up, arrow down. 862 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you mean? To do you listen, dude, 863 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: the fact that you're like cognizant of this and like 864 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: and know that, like what that means for us, even 865 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: when you do like a song, but you're still like, yeah, 866 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,399 Speaker 1: but I love this and I won't I don't want 867 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: to hurt anyone percent. Bye. 868 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 2: And that's like being a supporter because at times with 869 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 2: the I will use the words and rely true the 870 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 2: power that I have. 871 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: Occasionally that can happen. Yeah right, yeah, So like what 872 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: do you want because they're not you're really going to 873 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: look at arrow is at seventy? Right? 874 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 4: No? 875 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, so I would like to play it a 876 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: little bit? Would you like me to play it a 877 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah? Okay, I mean yeah. And I think 878 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: the reason that I say that is because I just 879 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: want people to hear it. 880 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 2: Okay, that's because I think if people hear it, I 881 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 2: think people should hear it too. 882 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: But I never want to be like, oh, I guess 883 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: so you screwed today. I'm like, dude, that wouldn't you 884 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't that would I would never think that. And it's 885 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: also not thirties, And when it gets there. 886 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 2: It gets to be different, right because then everyone's looking 887 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 2: at arrows on charts, and if it's not trending upward, 888 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 2: then people are looking for reasons to bail out of it. 889 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,399 Speaker 1: To have your parents got to come watch you play 890 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: with Luke on the stadium. Yeah they've they've seen me 891 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: a few times in a state, like in this old 892 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: Stadium tour. Yeah, they came to Jacksonville, I think this year. 893 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I mean, I can't say enough 894 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: about them. I mean, if I play at the grand 895 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: Ole operatly, no matter what's going on, they are there. 896 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: They haven't missed and like growing up, they didn't miss 897 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: a single show. And I think the hard part for 898 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: them was like when they got to where they couldn't 899 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: go to every show. I don't think that like kind 900 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: of like bothered them a little bit. So anytime I 901 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: play the grand Ole Oppery, they have not missed a 902 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: single one of those. Even when I'm like like, y'all 903 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: got stuff going on, you know what I mean, Like, uh, 904 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 1: me and my wife we have a newborn month old 905 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: baby at home, and came up for that. And then 906 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,399 Speaker 1: the very next Saturday, I was playing at the ground 907 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: Operay and they came back up really and I was like, dang, 908 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: drive it. Yeah, that's that's labor. 909 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 3: Yeah. 910 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, uh so, I got a couple of thoughts. 911 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 2: One, let's just let's put it in the National count down, 912 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: like made a note already, Okay, so we're gonna love that. Yeah, 913 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: it'd be a big That's awesome, man. A bunch of 914 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 2: countries do that too, like not America, other countries. I 915 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: mean obviously other countries, but you know what I mean. Secondly, 916 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 2: when you have your first artist number one, how beautiful 917 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 2: would it be to play in that Arby's parking lot? 918 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: Oh dude? As for as for social media content, like 919 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: it's the greatest. That would be awesome because and it's 920 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: not even so much about everybody from Nashville. In fact, 921 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: the Arby's is in the parking lot of the kmart 922 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: where I met round Clasco too.
