It just could have came out of my 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: mouth because Kenny never told me it was a secret 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: when he told me this. So Kenny and I are 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: sitting around and he says, hey, you know because setting 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: the wall on fire, it was just about it was 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: it was just about to be number one. And Kenny 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: are sitting next to each other and he goes, hey, 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: you know this was never gonna be a single, and 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: I was like, really, goes yeah, he goes, Pink got 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: pregnant so she had to come off the road. Yeah, 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: I've never heard that story. Oh you don't know. This 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: story is crazy. You wrote this song. You don't know that. Okay, 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: So I want to tell you this story, and you 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: tell me about how the song came together. Okay, okay. 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: So Kenny and I are sitting here and he goes, 37 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: we're playing about to play the song overhead, and he said, hey, 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: you're never gonna believe this, and Kenny curses a lot. 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: You know, I believe this, baby, you know, like, what 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: is it? And he goes, this was never going to 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: be a single. But not because I didn't love the song, 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: he said, but because Pink was about to go on 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: tour and she wanted to put her own music out 44 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: and she didn't want to have two things at once 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: hitting each other. And so because she got pregnant, she 46 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: pulled back, She pulled everything off the radio, and they 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: were like, hey, go ahead, and if you want to 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: make that a single, make that a single. And had 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: she not become a single at least not then yeah, 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: And so I was like, wow, he never said that 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a secret, right did He realized she got pregnant and 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: that's why. And so I'm thinking, wow, I know this 53 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: great story, but I keep secret. You know, when you 54 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: have friends at working in business, you either are really 55 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: good to keep it secrets or you're allowed mouth. And 56 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: so I just don't say anything because it's not my 57 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: place to say. But it's a good story. But like 58 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: three months later, it was like breaking news, Kenny admits, 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: and I was like, what do you mean? So what 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: did you know about this? That's amazing? You know, it 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: kind of came back to me now. I remember Pink 62 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: was on the song, and I knew she was putting 63 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: out a new record, so I remember hearing you know 64 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: it won't be a single because she's gonna make it 65 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: the record. And then so you did hear that. I 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: do now that you say that it's kind of coming back, 67 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: but I never heard then. I just heard, oh, it's 68 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: the next single. I never because you know, we had 69 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: Noise first and Nois was kind of quick to come 70 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: and go, and then this one happened really fast, so 71 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: I never heard. The reason I never heard that it 72 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: was because she got pregnant so her music was on hold. Crazy, 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: that's crazy. I never knew that. I never I can't belave. 74 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: I never thought. I'm glad I could bring up out 75 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: of your podcast Ross, I'm sharing stories. So that song there, 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: when you wrote it, did you write it as a duet? 77 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: We didn't at all. And you know what, you write 78 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: it with Josh Osborne and Matt Jenkins, and we didn't 79 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: think of this song. It's not like this is one 80 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: of those ones. We got home that night and we 81 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: were like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna this is the 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: one man, this this is one of those ones. It 83 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: was like it was like me and Josh's favorite song. 84 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: And Josh was playing it out in rounds and playing 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: it before anyone, playing it before anybody. He just started 86 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: playing rounds and he'd be like, man, Ross, that that's 87 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: set in the world. Fire song goes over really well 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: in rounds. I was like, Oh cool, Josh, that's that's 89 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: good man. And so then Kenny cut it and somehow 90 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: decided to put Pink on it. Kenny has a great 91 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: like intuition to know. He just has this. I always 92 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: say he's the best A and R guy in Nashville. 93 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I always feel like he picks about songs, are about 94 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: songs and just and just do it A and or 95 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: he's record knowing to put Pink on that song. I 96 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: never would have thought to put her on that song, 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: and I feel like her being on that song the 98 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: first time I heard I literally cried when I heard 99 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: it in the studio with him, just because I grew 100 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: up with Pink on the radio, and like just hearing 101 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: her voice on a song that I was a part 102 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: of writing was just mind numbing to me, you know. 103 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: He I was talking to Kenny. It was the same 104 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: night and Pink had come through with the top on us. 105 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: We were doing this interview whole thing, and Pain came 106 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: over and they didn't. I don't think they'd spent a 107 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: lot of time together, you know, And that's how it works. 108 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize that now because back 109 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: in the old days. But when because I assumed I 110 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: was born in the eighties. You born in the eighties, okay, 111 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: early year, you earlier? Okay, like not like I'm not 112 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift. That's where most people nowaday eight seven, 113 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: like come on, man, count that. But people don't even 114 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: record it in the studio together anymore. Just generally they 115 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: don't look together, and it's it's almost to listeners like, 116 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: oh man, we I just want to imagine carrying boys, 117 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: two men doing one Sweet Day, remember the video, and 118 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: they're all in the studio together and it's like sorry, 119 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: and they're back and forth. That's how I imagine every duet. 120 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: And he was like, no, we really didn't. I will 121 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: say when we did Different for Girls with Dirks.

Me and 228 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: John Knight first time we met, we wrote Glass together, 229 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: just us in a room with guitar, green carpet floor, 230 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: the old m I building. Um, we just stared into 231 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: each other's eyes longingly and like we really did. And 232 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: we've literally have been best friends since that day and 233 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: and this song top fifteen, Yeah, top fifteen. I love 234 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: those guys, tough to Square. Yeah, some of my favorite 235 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: people keep us funny, so oddly funny, oddly funny, like 236 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: you don't expect different, it's oddly funny. This is oddly funny. 237 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: We think you're just messing a TV show together. It 238 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: ended up not getting picked up with the whole process 239 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: of yeah, a TV production company, so we wish. Yeah, 240 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: but don't you have many I try everything, nothing really works. 241 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: That's the thing. I try a little bit. I didn't 242 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: try to get in everything. My dad's pretty geeked out 243 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: that I'm doing this interview with you today. He's a 244 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: huge fan of he is he Yeah, he's in Ronan, Virginia, 245 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: so he listens to all this stuff. Oh yeah, that's awesome. 246 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: And you're from you grew up Virginia, Virginia. So Tom 247 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: Square cuts glass. They call you and say hey, and 248 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: then it goes about where to go twelve twelve? Yeah, 249 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: so at twelve, that was a huge deal with that. 250 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: But do you like, do you make good money at 251 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen? Back then? Back? Yeah? I feel like 252 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: back then you actually made more. Yeah, because songs don't 253 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: just go to this is my theory. Now it's just 254 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: flash it flies, and I know you're you have a 255 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: million number ones, so don't take offense to this in anyway. 256 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: Here's my problem with the format right now is that 257 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: there are so many number ones that the music is 258 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: not going to last because we don't get to sit 259 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: with it. I agree number ones are forgotten. That that's 260 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: why these people that buy song catalogs, I'm I was like, 261 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: why are you doing it? Because you know there's like 262 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: four quarters of a song paying money and then it 263 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: really the drop off is like Matt Everest, we don't 264 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: give these songs enough time to breathe, and especially with 265 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: the superstars, and it's not the SuperStar's fault they're a superstar. 266 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: It is the superstars who go the fastest. Like if 267 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: if even now Dirk's is up on that a list, 268 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: but if it's Dirk or Blake or Luke or any 269 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: of these guys, and it's the record label's fault, it's 270 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: radio's fault. It's everyone's sing about it because it's just 271 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: like to get it, shoot, shoot up gone. But then 272 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: they can't even play all their number ones at a concert. 273 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: Luke especially because they go by so and and Luke's 274 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: forties not like sixty five. And we and you forget 275 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: sometimes with these songs because we were talking about strip 276 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: it Down, which you strip it Down was on this 277 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: last album. It's six number ones Luke's last album. And 278 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: it's crazy. But you know why I have do the though, 279 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: because you can song shoot up so fast. Yeah, and 280 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: and then albums suffer because everyone's just writing the singles. 281 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: You want to get six singles on a record, that's crazy. 282 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: So okay, talk about this one. Yeah. We we went 283 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: out to Luke's farm, the first time we've ever been 284 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: out there. His place blew our mind. We were we 285 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: thought we were on another planet. He's got his like 286 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: the river stocked with trout. Somehow, I don't even understand 287 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: how that works. How the trouter in one place, like 288 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: he says, you know, he goes and he he stocks 289 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: it hard with tiny ones and he grows them big. 290 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: But I don't have a stay on his property. Why 291 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: don't they end up down somewhere? I think? But my 292 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: theory is he has someone that comes right before you 293 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: come and they throw them right into the area where 294 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: you're going to be in a whole lot of so 295 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: you can show up. Because he has money, he can 296 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, he did have a field with deer. 297 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, the deer bend down over there. You 298 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: just it felt like in a tree stand right there 299 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: is like it was like Disney. It's like Dilukeworld. Yeah, 300 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: we're thinking the right place at the right time. It's 301 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: like a safari where you know where the outfits are 302 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: going to be up. So we rode around his farm, 303 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: we rode around through the river. He's shown us everything. 304 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: It's the most amazing I ever seen. We came back 305 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: ate some some dear jerky. He grabbed at an acoustic 306 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: and he's like he started he started playing these chords 307 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: and he started he literally started singing in the chorus 308 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: um and me and John were like, whoa, what is 309 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: what is that? I got opened my laptop started recording him. 310 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: It's like writing down as fast as I could twenty minutes. 311 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: He kind of just he just kind of spouted out lines. 312 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Me and John were just catching it, and he's like, 313 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: all right, boy, you wanna want to wrap it up? 314 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: Finished his another time or something. So we're like, no, 315 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: let's just keep fighting. And so and then so we 316 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: went home and basically the whole song was like in 317 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: the scattered of three pages of just notes and we 318 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: kind just piece it together and with Luke's help and 319 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: then he cut it. And crazy at this level where 320 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: you are now with because as we'll see, it wasn't 321 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: always easy and it wasn't always awesome. Um, but now 322 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: you have success, and you have money, and you have 323 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: people they're dying to write with you and work with 324 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: you as you produce, and like you're you know, you're 325 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: growing just as an entity, like you're doing all these things. 326 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: But uh, for you, Like how hard is it for you? 327 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Like for someone let's say writer comes to town right 328 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: and at first like probably get right with you pretty easy, 329 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: like whenever you're not making any money. But now do 330 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: you just go sit and write for artists specifically or 331 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: do you just still write songs and see where they land? Mostly? Man, 332 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: you know we do, And I feel like the best 333 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: songs getting ritten like that when it's me and John 334 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: and Shane or me and Josh Osborne and Ranny Clausen 335 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: are Like I feel like that's how you write the 336 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: best songs when you're not thinking about anything and you're 337 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: just trying to write the best song in the room 338 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: that day. But are artists they're calling you, They're and going, hey, Ross, 339 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: comes sit with me because you're writing all these hits. Well, 340 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: a lot of artists are such good writers. Luke is 341 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: Luke would be one of the he'd be being my 342 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: song on the year every year, Luke, Brian Wood Dirk's 343 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: is a great songwriter, Keith Grett. They're all so good, um, 344 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: and so yeah, when we go right with them, they 345 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: always have like a year of ideas stocked up because 346 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: they've been on the road tour and so and they're 347 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: not writing every day, so we're like flexing the muscle 348 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: every day so we can help to shape them. But 349 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: how hard is it to think of different stuff every day? Though? 350 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: Like what have you what have you done today to 351 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: right today? Yeah, Craig Wiseman, Okay, so you're going ro 352 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: with Craig Wiseman. Who who know, I'll tell you today. 353 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: That's a great Yeah, go ahead, No, No, Craig Wiseman 354 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: has been around and written so many and probably a 355 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: million stories. Like it's probably awesome to go sit with 356 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: someone like that because they have so much that you 357 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: can hear and be inspired by. And you know, we 358 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: didn't have a title today and we're kind of just 359 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: we're grinding. He was telling stories. I was just learning 360 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: from him. And I saw like he had a key 361 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: chain on the on the table big loud shirt. You 362 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: know what his name is, Publishing. I was like, Craig, 363 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: have you ever written big loud shirt? He's like, wow, no, 364 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: I've never written that, And so we we we're gonna 365 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: write we started it big glove shirt. But that's how 366 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: things happened, like you just see something or like like 367 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: when we wrote um for Thousand Horses Smoke, he had 368 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: a black BlackBerry smoke hat on Michael Hobby did so 369 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: had he had the bands. I was just staring. We 370 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: didn't have an idea. I was just staring at his 371 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: hat smoke. I was like, smoke, it's not smoke, Not 372 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: that it's most I really feel like nowadays, simpler the better, 373 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: Like simple title that you can tell in a different way. 374 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: That's that's just what I'm into right now. So you 375 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: wrote this song on Michael who else? And John Knight? 376 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: You know it's weird. It makes sense because I do 377 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: the same thing. We get into our little front path 378 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: the people we trust, and we like to work with 379 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: people we trust and like, who are who are your people? 380 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: John will be first, Um, Josh Osborne and Shane McNally, 381 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: Ronnie Class and Nicole and do you call Cole Nicole 382 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: Class called them? How far in advanced do you guys 383 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: set up these rights? You know, we book our years 384 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: out all the way to December. You book, you book 385 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: a year out. We do, and then but we leave 386 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: it kind of loose so that we can fill in, 387 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: like like me and Ashley Goalley. He'll be one of 388 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: those that I trust. I mean, he's probably got to 389 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: be one of the best ever to exist songwriter wise. 390 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: He's like rain Man. I've never seen anyone right like him. 391 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: But we'll we'll do like two days with Ashley every 392 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: month through December, and then we'll fill it in as 393 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: we go. So Bill, like Billy Kurtnan is coming to town. Hey, 394 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: you know I think I'm like, oh, jump in with 395 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: me Ashley this day or something. So you guys will 396 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: have a right set and then you'll leave a spot 397 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: and someone will hop in. It's constantly juggle. It's we're 398 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: up at night at eleven o'clock and night every night texting, 399 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: oh what if we do this here? Throw this person here, 400 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: like constant juggle to try and maximize every right you 401 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: have to nowadays because it's so hard to get outside cuts. 402 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: Like you said, like when just three writers get in 403 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: the room to try to write the best song, even 404 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: the best song these days is the best songs are 405 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: not always winning. Now what wins artists who write there 406 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: on songs they can also get paid for it. I 407 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: do think those songs win now man. Unfortunately it makes 408 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: sense that they do, and and not saying that it's wrong, 409 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: it does. We just put the shoe on my foot. Yeah, 410 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: let's say I write a song and it's almost as 411 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: good as as a as a song that's announced. It's 412 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: it didn't had to be as good, but it's so 413 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: close and I'm a superstar, and I know my superstar 414 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: is will push that over the limit. I'm cutting my 415 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: song because I need to get paid. So the question 416 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. There's the big question. That's a big question, dude, 417 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: is that is that Okay? Does that affect music as 418 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: a whole? Does that does that matter? The answer is yes, 419 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: But the superstar culture the same way the song number one. 420 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: It's like you said, somebody's gonna remember it. Anyways, these 421 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: songs and in these all these songs that are you know, 422 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: because McNally came in, we're talking about the same thing. 423 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: And it's like back when we were kids and the nineties, 424 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: like boot Scooting Bookie was number one for a while 425 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: and it had a room to breathe. It took a 426 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: long time to get there, and it just became like 427 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: anthems of entire yeah eras like summers or winters or 428 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: we just remember you know, the dance as being you know, 429 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: junior high. It was like six week number. That would 430 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: never have that. Now is there a song that you 431 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: could off the top of your head right now that 432 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, that was last summer, that was 433 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: last summer. Let's know, you always say this is the 434 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: song of the summer because I know I picked you know, 435 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: I just talked about myself to talk sometimes. But let 436 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: me think about that was the song, like, let's just 437 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: pick in the last few years, is the first one 438 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: that comes to me? Okay, for you, that would be 439 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: a song that you're like, boom that and that's gonna 440 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: be one the last Okay, let me think, no one, 441 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: no one's ever asked me. This is a really great question. 442 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: Songs are out and in the past, let's say three 443 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: four years that I think are going to last. It's 444 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: a great question. I think, um, oh, man, yeah, because 445 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: it's tricky, like I think something like, okay, I know, 446 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: I just came to me too. I want to what 447 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: what were you gonna say, girl crush? Girl crush? Is 448 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: it is? It might be? Maybe? Yeah, tell me well. 449 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna say something like, because it's gonna take 450 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: something meaningful. Now I would say, like drink a beer 451 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: for Luke. Oh wow, interesting, because I think that's one 452 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: that will last with people because of the message. And 453 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: then occasionally you will get an artist that will just 454 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: create something that, like the Stapleton that entire Traveler record 455 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: will last, will last. His new record sounds even better. 456 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: You know what's funny? Clips and I won't I have 457 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: the whole record right, and I won't listen to it 458 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: because I don't listen to music early and I love Chris, 459 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: And Chris was like, I want you to have this record. 460 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: I can't. It's like my favorite record, man, and you 461 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: can have all the clips on iTunes. I'm listening like 462 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: a minute twenty of each song or whatever you get, 463 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: even the guy would I need to go to get it? 464 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: I needed. I haven't asked anybody, but and I didn't. 465 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: I just because I'm gonna buy it. I don't want 466 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: I want to buy that record. It's like that's the 467 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: one that might be like one of the few records 468 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: I buy it this year. I want to experience it 469 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: like my people experience it because I need to be. 470 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: I can't not be the people that listen to me, 471 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: and so I want to get it the day up 472 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 1: and be excited about it too. And so that's why 473 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: I won't listen to it. And Chris was so nice 474 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: to say, I would love you to have this record, 475 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: and I said back, I appreciate it, but I can't listen. 476 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: The one album that I did listen to early because 477 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm just because I'm I had to was the new 478 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: John Mayor record and it's not out yet and I 479 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: have it you and I I don't have it.

I think I've seen him 482 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: thirteen times and I have the whole record yet, but 483 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: there's just four more songs. It's so good the most 484 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: just four more and then that completes all three waves, 485 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: and that completes the record. I'll tell you this too. 486 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: It's amazing music. Is that. I think the culture of 487 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: putting out a record at twelve songs, I was gonna die. 488 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: So I wish you had died three years ago because 489 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: I tell every artist, like, what's it's too much? People 490 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: can't process the whole album. It's like, except the Stapleton 491 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: record for some reason, it's nine songs. It's nine songs. 492 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: There's a huge cover on it. Yeah, you know, because 493 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: Tennessee Whiskey is a cover um which, by the way, 494 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: you know David Awnleeycote wrote it and George Jones covered 495 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: it and people don't know this. But it doesn't matter 496 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: is a thing. It doesn't matter. But yeah, it's also 497 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: so I thought it was a new song though. Yeah. 498 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: It's also like bring in on it. You're like, oh, 499 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: Scotty new. Yeah. I think though that it's almost like 500 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: having a Thanksgiving meal, Thanksgiving dinner. Every meal when you 501 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: get a new record of twelve songs, it's like, what 502 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: do I eat? I'm gonna get full. I don't have 503 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: enough time to listen to hour and minutes you anymore, 504 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: And so I have to decide what songs I like 505 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: the most really quickly, and we have our you know, 506 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: our heart or Spotify whatever. We're racing songs if they 507 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: don't fit. So we don't have time to enjoy it. 508 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: You really don't because we can't spend time with it. 509 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: When John Mayra put him out four at a time, 510 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: I got to spend time with me those songs, and 511 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: I fell in love with all four time. And I 512 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: don't think I would have you to put out twelve 513 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: at a time. That's such a good. So I think 514 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: the culture of the album is going to change because 515 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: we're a d D like as a society. We didn't 516 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: used to be. No, we don't have the option though 517 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: the digital option was how to fix it? Because I 518 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: literally we're so d D now. I'm so what's gonna 519 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: happen is though in ten years we're gonna go remember 520 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: back in the good old days we were deleting. It's 521 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: just everything progresses, just like music, Just like complaining about music. 522 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: You know, we live now where everyone's like, well that's 523 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: not country, that's not country. What happened? You know what 524 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: happened ten years ago, every I was saying, that's not country, 525 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: that's not country. You know what happened thirty years ago? 526 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: Everyone was saying that's not country. That it's just never 527 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: going to end. And that's okay. How far does it go, 528 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: that's a great question. Though it goes as far as 529 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: it would just keep going. It will never stop.

How about I'm gonna tell you so this 553 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: man when I go to Keith Urban Songs because because 554 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: I have a wall, and I mentioned the wall to 555 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: people like these are like artists that i'd have direct 556 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: like friendships and and I have a wall of house 557 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: and there's six things on it and it's Keith and 558 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: pass Lay and Jansen and Marin and Kelsey and a 559 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: little big town girl crush because I've either had something 560 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: to do with them or they've had something to do 561 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: with me, and I loved and Keith as a friend. Yeah, 562 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: that's awesome. Break on Me is one of my favorite 563 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: Keats songs. Ever, this song is so good. Come about 564 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: writing this one, man. I think me and John we're 565 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: supposed to write with Dirk's that day, I think Dirk's 566 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: and he had to go somewhere. He bailed and John, 567 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: you know when you get bailed on these days, it's 568 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: kind of like, oh yeah, let's just take your day 569 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: in hand with our kids and stuff. And so I 570 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: begged John to come over. I was like, John, just 571 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: come over and let's rite. Come on, that's right. So 572 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: he's like, all right, all right. He came over. I 573 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: handed him this like nineteen sixty five stella guitar. I 574 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: got on the pawn shop and he started playing those chords. Man, 575 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: and I threw a little beat down and we just 576 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: started just staring lovingly into each other's eyes like we 577 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: did on Glass and Um. We wrote it like an hour. Um. 578 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: It's such a vulnerable song. It's so and we you know, 579 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: I don't hear it. We kind of wrote it for 580 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: our wives and our our little girls sets. This is 581 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: probably my favorite song man, really, yeah, break when you 582 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: hear when it comes back to you and I don't. 583 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: And it's been different with everyone we talked to from 584 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: when like Natalie Himy's in, or when Shane's in. When 585 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: a song comes back to you from the artist and 586 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: they've cut it first of all, when do you get 587 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: it With Keith Hell, he likes, I think he like. 588 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: I think he snuck this one to me early. And 589 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: I always know when Keith does a song, your mind 590 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: is going to be blown because he's one of the 591 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: best producers I've ever met. Literally, he's one of the 592 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: best producers. And so he just knows how to take 593 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: these tracks to like other worldly places. And I should 594 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: play the demo that this sometime this, and John Cougar, 595 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 1: I should play the demos of so vastly different from 596 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: how he interpreted the songs. That's what makes a great 597 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: artist is taking a song that I think it's It's 598 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: more impressive to me when an artist can take a 599 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: song that they did not write and make it a 600 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: Keith Urban masterpiece. That to me is the most impressive thing. 601 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: You say that about John Cougar. And so when I 602 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: think of the song, I think of the baseline that 603 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: and I know Keith just ripping the base out I know, 604 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: and even plays it, but he does not even know 605 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: he played bass. I think he could probably play the 606 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: flute as a guitar if he wanted. He's not a 607 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: different so yeah, yeah, obviously what's the deal? So talk 608 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: about the song, like, what's the what's the difference in 609 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: this song? This was just a really straightforward. It was 610 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: not the bass riff, It was not as bouncy. It 611 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: was more just like guitar with a little beat under 612 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of walking down. Um, the song is the same, 613 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: but but him doing that but no, no, no, non't 614 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: and then modulating up and then back down because he 615 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: heard on a Kendrick Lamar record. Did you know did 616 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: you tell you that he heard Kendrick go up, modulate 617 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: up and then come back down, which doesn't sound like 618 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: you should work at all, because once you raise the energy, 619 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to work to come back down. 620 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: And he did it somehow, and it blows my mind still. 621 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: That was I can say this. There are a few 622 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: artists where I'll listen to a song or that was 623 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: one of the few. That he texted me earlier was 624 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, like three weeks before it's like you 625 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: gotta hear this song. And I was like, dang, dude, 626 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: because it was just but the boom boom. I was like, dude, 627 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: that's that's I mean? Rememberpplied back like, Wow, that's funky, 628 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: it's funky. Your first listen You're right, My first listen 629 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: to that one was in the studio with him and 630 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: Dan and the mix was all kind of different. It 631 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: was like it was a lot to take in. I 632 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: was like, whoa, what has happened? I don't even know 633 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: what happened to me? How did you? Keith get to 634 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: be a thing man? When I first came to Nashville 635 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: within the first year two, Keith and Joe Fisher had 636 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: a publishing company and they offered me my first publishing 637 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: deal to get me out of my UK deal. Um, 638 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: and I think he just started hearing my songs early 639 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: and started kind of he'd put them on hold, and 640 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: then then he wanted to write, because Keith's always trying 641 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: to write with the new the new guys, what's happening 642 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: and so um he came over and we wrote with 643 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: Davidlye Murphy. We wrote even the Stars Fall for You, 644 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: which was on Fuse, and then we produced a song 645 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: or two together for that record, and then we just 646 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: became good friends and now we have this publishing company 647 00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: together called boom Um.

Yeah, yeah, yes, he's 665 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: he does. It's like a batmobile. And he doesn't anything 666 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: for me.

I haven't seen all big 673 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: little lies yet, but I hear she's pretty nuhing that 674 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: don't run it don't run, But I hear it's a 675 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: fantast actually does a fantastic our favorite show we've ever seen. Man, 676 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: I've heard that from so many days. The acting is 677 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: just beyond this. Because these things live a long time, 678 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: this podcasts, someone's gonna hear this in like six months 679 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: from now, and or I'll hear it back and be like, 680 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: man if I only knew then, because that's only one season, right, 681 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: and that's it. Because it was a book. It's a book, 682 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: so I think it might be tied somehow. I don't 683 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: want you to run anything wrong. I don't want you 684 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: to I want to roll down a couple of a 685 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: couple of songs because I got so much to talk about. 686 00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: How about we don't Billy Carrington, there is another one 687 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: of my favorite people in the world, Billy. I do 688 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: it a little bit now you need to spend some 689 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: time with him. He is he That's the thing. Billy 690 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: intrigues me too, And I don't feel like we would 691 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: because I'm such an introvert who doesn't do things like 692 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: rock climb or get on the ocean or go to 693 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot. That's just not me and my personality. 694 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: So I don't think that Billy and I would hang 695 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: out as humans. But he comes in and we enjoy 696 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: each other because we're so different.

Yeah. 812 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: So he's like, you know, I've got this if I 813 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,479 Speaker 1: told you, and I was like, your song is really good, 814 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 1: and then I just don't hear about it for like 815 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: two months, I know, and look now and here it 816 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: comes just shooting up the chart. Isn't that crazy? So? 817 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: Are you gonna make a ton of money off this song? 818 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: So this probably will make a lot more than say 819 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: like Drunk the Drunk of Your Love or something like that. 820 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: Like it will, because it's just what are we talking? 821 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: How many songs in there? Did you put those in there? 822 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: I didn't add seagulls. I've never heard I produced that. 823 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: I guess you didn't know I put seagulls. Do we 824 00:41:49,520 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: have a read there? A hold on, I'm you're in 825 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: the seagulls? Man? What's those are seagulls? What's what are seagulls? 826 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: What's up? Mike? Is that from like they playing it 827 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: at the beach? Or is that you didn't put seagulls 828 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: in it? No? I don't think so. Those are definitely 829 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: seagulls I didn't add or I didn't add the mongoose 830 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: and strip it down? Okay? How many number ones does 831 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: it take to make a million dollars? Oh my gosh, Bobby, 832 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, four, three, three number ones to make 833 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: a million dollars as three right as a right? Don't 834 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: say six, man, I might disagree with that. You do, yeah, 835 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: because all my millions have been made, Like I would know. 836 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: I want to disagree with that. I have no idea 837 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: what I think it's and it just decreases. Man. But 838 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: I do feel like ities because i'd say five or six. 839 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: Because on Nashville, whenever Gunner gets his check, how many 840 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: times people compelle like so much my man, my own parents. 841 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Gone, but just first checking, it's like I 842 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: gotta ride check in his four dollars. I'm like, well, 843 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: that's not really how it works. Did you know that? 844 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: I was kind of in the beginning of the Nashville 845 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: Show with Cali t Bone. The initial meetings that show 846 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: where in my house and my house in Bellevue, is 847 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: that we're like consulting on how to no mater, how 848 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna get these vocals. And I kind of showed 849 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: Connie Britain how to single on headphones. She had never 850 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: sung a microphone or headphones, so she like came over 851 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: my house and I practiced. Yeah, I did the first few. 852 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: I did the first season. Really a lot of the 853 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 1: songs in the first season of that. Did you make 854 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: money off of that? Or is that kind of yeah? 855 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: That was that was good like production money. It seems 856 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: that okay, production money, but not really like single like 857 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: song money songs, because I would think there would be 858 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 1: like too many, and you're not. They're not being featured 859 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: really except on an episode they're not. There was no 860 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: money for songwriters on that show, which which always bothered 861 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: because there probably were a ton of good songs there were, 862 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: or did they just go and pick a bunch of 863 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: metal of the medio for songs. What happened is everyone 864 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 1: in Nashville found out that there was no money in 865 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: the songs, so nobody was giving them their A list songs. 866 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: That is what happened, because it would have to be 867 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: one of the two the show, doesn't it show either 868 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of the songs get wasted or you just 869 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: don't give them good songs. Nobody gave them good songs. 870 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: The worst. No one's sending him break on me. Nobody's 871 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 1: sending them Merry go round, which and if they do 872 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: go away and we'll never hear because there's three an 873 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: episode and it's twenty seconds at a time. But I 874 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: think they could have capitalized more on a great song 875 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: being featured over and over running it up on iTunes. 876 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: Oh that's or if they had a song and again 877 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: this is us talking here, or if they had a 878 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: song that it stayed with the character the whole time. Yes, 879 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: and they continued through like a six episode arc of 880 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: them using that song. A great song, they could have 881 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,280 Speaker 1: made that, because I know even with Hayden at the beginning, 882 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: they tried that, didn't try that. I think I did 883 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: that song? Maybe? How do you think you did? How 884 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: do you not? Because you just have so many I 885 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: remember there was a song that Hayden that recurred for 886 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: her a lot, and it actually got played on the 887 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: radio a bit. I want to Oh I didn't do 888 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: that one. I didn't do that one. Yeah, the one 889 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: that was a single. I remember that, But I might 890 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: have done the one for the show of that song. 891 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: They could have done that with a couple of songs 892 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: they should have. Yeah, um, you know they have her 893 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: here is yeah, that's I don't think this is it, 894 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: but whatever, let's see what else do we have here?

I know, which I think of that as 934 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: a number one song because you hear it all the time, 935 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: and you know what that song will be no offense. 936 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: I think that song probably lasts longer than this one. 937 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 1: Even though this was the number one. I know you 938 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,399 Speaker 1: wrote it and I got said this to your face, 939 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: but I think that started them off as like all 940 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: and it's such a big positive message. I love this life. 941 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: Man who doesn't want to hear that every day? There? 942 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I mean, And that's why, 943 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: And that's why I started playing it like I was 944 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: the first one to play, because it comes like our 945 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: shows about positivity. Let me play the song, and you 946 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,439 Speaker 1: know that's kind of where it took off. But yeah, 947 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: not to take listen, you may plenty money off the song. 948 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: And I really like it too. I love I love 949 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 1: this song. I love his guys. But for them, I 950 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 1: remember talking and they were like, you know what, we 951 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,919 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of outside cuts, but they felt 952 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: like this song was so right up their will house. 953 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 1: They're great writers too, so they took an outside song, 954 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: which is always so great. Chesney is the king of that. 955 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: I've sat with Chesney, as he's told other artists. You 956 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 1: make all you make more in one night of merch 957 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: than you do writing your whole record. Don't worry about 958 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: writing your record. That's crazy. You make, you know, the 959 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: merch thing like you just dropped a bomb. On me 960 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: that I never even thought about is because you know 961 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: what I think is they and I have a girlfriend 962 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: as an artist, and so she writes and she takes 963 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: outside song. She has both. You know, it's important to 964 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 1: artists to write so they feel so they're artistic. Cup 965 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 1: is full. But then she she put uh six songs right, 966 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: and so she wrote three of them. She did a 967 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: John Mayor cover because she didn't she didn't cut the 968 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: John Mayr for her record. But in order to make 969 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: this last little set of songs Lindsay did. She was 970 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 1: like her and Christian Bush, who produced a record. He said, hey, 971 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: go and remake your favorite album all by yourself with 972 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: all the instruments, and so she did. So she did 973 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 1: all of continuum, made all the instruments, the whole thing, 974 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: the whole did he I'll do fantastic and it's not 975 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:39,240 Speaker 1: out and it's it's fantastic.

She put 981 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 1: stop this trying only on this EP, and so she 982 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: wrote three other songs, and so she took a song 983 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 1: from Ryan Hurd, who's a good friend of mine, and 984 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 1: a song from Caitlin Smith, who are close and it 985 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: didn't have any relation to her, but she was like, 986 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: these songs are so good.

Yeah, 1133 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 1: outside of the book because Stepan right stuff everybody for 1134 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 1: a long time. And if you knew the steel drivers, 1135 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 1: if you knew that kind of that's what I'm yeah, yeah, 1136 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 1: but people love just generally in America, our society, we 1137 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: love to see someone rise from the ashes that we 1138 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: love to knock them down because we think they're getting 1139 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: too big, and then we loved him rise back up again. Yeah, 1140 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 1: that's what for some reason, why this that weird thing 1141 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 1: of we want to see the underdog win. But if 1142 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 1: the underdog cards get full of themselves, which even if 1143 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: they're not, we assume they are, we want to see 1144 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 1: them fall and get busted with a nine prostitutes. Kanye 1145 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: and the back of Ice kind of turned on Kanye. 1146 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 1: We kind of kind brought it on himself. But so 1147 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: you you're playing at this, you're playing the bitter end. Yeah, 1148 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: so these guys offered me to do that had Phono 1149 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: Jack Records. My lawyer was the Script's lawyer at the 1150 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 1: time and he had both of us and me and 1151 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: the Script basically got the same exact record deal at 1152 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 1: the same time. The band the Script, they're from a 1153 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 1: Scott Yeah.

And I don't 1157 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: thought about them forever. They're another one. Where are they? 1158 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: And I wonder if they're still if they're still big overseas, 1159 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 1: because thinks they are kind of still big. They could 1160 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: probably come back to Ireland and be awesome, but crush it, like, 1161 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: don't do it?

Craig Wiseman was talking about this today about 1290 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: mental block, like Tiger Woods has everything it takes to 1291 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: be the number one golfer in the world every year, 1292 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,760 Speaker 1: but it's his mental Sergio had the issue until yesterday. 1293 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: Like Sergio lost so many he had all the talents 1294 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 1: all mental for all of us in every field right 1295 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,560 Speaker 1: your field, my field, Yeah, it's it's it's all fields, 1296 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: it's all fields. Yeah, you've got to be in the 1297 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: game mentally, like in that little silver lining zone of 1298 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: just magicness. And there are times where I break down. 1299 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I think, so he's you, So he's back. So would 1300 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: you be willing to say that back treat's back? All right? 1301 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: All right, yeah definitely. So the a CM moment was 1302 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 1: my favorite performance of the night. I was on my chair, 1303 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: like you worked with that. I didn't know this part. 1304 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't know because I felt like I've I've learned everything. 1305 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: I know that this song is not out yet. Okay, 1306 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: So what you worked with them on on your song? 1307 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,360 Speaker 1: So me and wrote a song. Me and Josh Heire 1308 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 1: wrote a song with Ustin Lynch that Dustin didn't cut 1309 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: and Backstreets somehow heard it and loved it and came 1310 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 1: to town and cut it with me and Josh. Really, yeah, 1311 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: it was crazy. Isn't it weird that Kevin is like Kevin? 1312 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 1: To me?

We're thinking 1314 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 1: if they did country. They could be the back back 1315 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 1: road boys. That was actually Keith Urban. I shouldn't take 1316 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 1: credit for that. They just have to be the backstreet boys, 1317 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 1: just like boys, but men to men to what could 1318 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 1: they change it to? They can't. They just can't. It's weird. 1319 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 1: They're so Southern though, because Kentucky like they are.

That's like the original, and so crashing 1400 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,080 Speaker 1: Burn was again, it's not enough. I feel like to 1401 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: have done it, but they would. I actually thought they 1402 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 1: used part of the song as a sample, see exactly, 1403 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 1: and it wasn't. And because she was like no, I 1404 01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 1: was like, oh my, it's the point. It's almost impossible 1405 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 1: now to really do something that sounds like nothing else 1406 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: it is. I don't think you would have lost that lawsuit. 1407 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you would have lost the lawsuit because 1408 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: it's one freaking word. It's not, it's not, it's not 1409 01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,559 Speaker 1: what's the song? The more the more uh blurred lines, 1410 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: and that ruined it for all of us. That ruined 1411 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 1: it for all of us. Though, that makes you'll have 1412 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,960 Speaker 1: to watch are you're gonna go seven million dollars? Like 1413 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:27,599 Speaker 1: they did? Like it's like if you don't get ahead 1414 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,640 Speaker 1: of it, they did, didn't They um did Thomas song 1415 01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: that I thought would get him in trouble, which didn't 1416 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,840 Speaker 1: was was the slow one and it's not like ed Sharon, 1417 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I was. I even asked him. I 1418 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,680 Speaker 1: was like, hey, have you have you heard anything about that? 1419 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,679 Speaker 1: Thinking yeah, thinking out laughing at Sharon and Thomas. Retz 1420 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,679 Speaker 1: was happy and I was like, uh, those are very similar. 1421 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:54,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, preface I love Thomas. Yeah, great dude, 1422 01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,200 Speaker 1: But I asked him about that, goes, No, they haven't. 1423 01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,000 Speaker 1: They haven't never reached out at all and probably doesn't care. 1424 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 1: And Ed got sued the same song by somebody else. 1425 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying somebody from American are uk idle? Yeah, I 1426 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 1: remember that. My point isn't that everybody's stealing song. My 1427 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: point is it's hard now to come up with original state. Yeah, 1428 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: it's always psyched. There are just so many sounds you 1429 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 1: can make. There's not that many notes. And yeah, the 1430 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 1: only person making new notes is Keith Urban. So if 1431 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 1: you don't get with Keith Urban, you're not getting into 1432 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,040 Speaker 1: That's a great question, though, who is there? You said, 1433 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 1: it's hard to make this piece of music that sounds 1434 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:26,560 Speaker 1: like nothing else. That's like what I try and do 1435 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 1: every day in my life. I try to at least like, 1436 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,479 Speaker 1: is there anything right now that you're that excited about? 1437 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 1: It's also and before I answer that, I mean, you 1438 01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 1: say this in comedy, because I'll do stand up comedy 1439 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 1: has got to be similar, right, how many jokes very 1440 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: similar jokes? Every concept has been talked about a hundred 1441 01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 1: times interesting, and we're like minded people. Most of us, 1442 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 1: if I'm going on stage with so many experiences, were 1443 01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,120 Speaker 1: like minded. We're probably sad internally, and that's why we're 1444 01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:58,760 Speaker 1: on stage looking for love. And I'm like kidding here, 1445 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm being serious, Like we don't get on stage and 1446 01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: try to get the love of other people that you 1447 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 1: don't know because you just feel like it that there's 1448 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a lot of similarities, interesting darkness inside of comedians. Interesting. 1449 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 1: It's like the sad person wants to make everybody laugh 1450 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,720 Speaker 1: and there you're searching for love somewhere. And so you've 1451 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,920 Speaker 1: lived similar paths. The good looking rich kids, never the 1452 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 1: famous comedians, they're just not because it comes from somewhere else. 1453 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,920 Speaker 1: So similar experiences, similar mind frames, the topics of the 1454 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,680 Speaker 1: world are similar. You're gonna get a thousand jokes that 1455 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:37,880 Speaker 1: are somewhat the same. And so it's tough. What I 1456 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 1: do is I try to make all I try to 1457 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: do as much about me in my personal and even 1458 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: then your stories probably a hundred jokes like it to 1459 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the things that have happened to Yes, that's how are 1460 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: there is there enough material of of real things that 1461 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:55,840 Speaker 1: have happened to you. I mean, I wrote a book 1462 01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 1: in the book you know, and it and it did well. 1463 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 1: It was the best selling and it was fine. And 1464 01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 1: there's enough material that for like one act. But then again, 1465 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, as we're about to cut the special, I'm 1466 01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: starting to work on the second act. And it takes 1467 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 1: a year or two yourself, Yeah, I mean, it's all 1468 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:16,559 Speaker 1: you got and tested and suck, you don't. Big comedians have, right, 1469 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,680 Speaker 1: A team's like Chris Rock will write something, or I'll 1470 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,479 Speaker 1: have somebody say hey and they'll work on stuff to this, 1471 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 1: or he'll go out and practice it and they'd be like, hey, 1472 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:27,720 Speaker 1: what if you do this? And you'll try it. But 1473 01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 1: the thing that like comedians do is they can go 1474 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,560 Speaker 1: out like Ris Rock did it in Nashville Zanies. He 1475 01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 1: did four shows in like two nights and just work 1476 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:40,639 Speaker 1: material because it's not the differences No Mike needed though, 1477 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,599 Speaker 1: and he walked out with notes and he's going through notes. Wow, 1478 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,760 Speaker 1: that's so cool. The differences For me, if I take 1479 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: out my guitar and I'm not a musician, I play 1480 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 1: guitar and I sing and not you don't do either 1481 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 1: very well. But I can practice and get muscle memory 1482 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 1: and playing a song and practice singing, and I can 1483 01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 1: sit in my room or I can go someone practice it. 1484 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 1: You can't practice on jokes to a wall. You have 1485 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,599 Speaker 1: to go out and actually and see if it works. 1486 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,560 Speaker 1: And the funniest things I've ever written bomb hard and 1487 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is gonna kill and I'm like, 1488 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 1: I didn't work, and the stuff that you don't think. 1489 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:18,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes you're like, I'm just gonna throw it out there 1490 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,760 Speaker 1: and see what happens. It's like, that works, let me 1491 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: try it again and just switch it up a little 1492 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 1: bit interesting. But same thing with comedy is music. Is 1493 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that art it's just art period. 1494 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 1: I love that and that you tweak it and it's art. 1495 01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 1: It's been done a million times a million different ways. 1496 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Like good luck trying to find something completely. But when 1497 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,880 Speaker 1: you can, and occasionally somebody dies, you're like, huh, that's crazy. 1498 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: Who do you like? Okay, I'll ask you who do 1499 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,680 Speaker 1: you because you ask me that right now. Somebody You're like, 1500 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: they're changing the game a bit. Who is it you want? Like, yeah, 1501 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,120 Speaker 1: I don't care it is. I think it's fine for 1502 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: people have a ton of different types of influences and music. 1503 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 1: Nobody has a playlist. I think this Julian Michael stuff 1504 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be so special because Julian Michaels, because she 1505 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,840 Speaker 1: sings melodies that you know here you know and these 1506 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 1: just this Julian Michaels, you still I had this up 1507 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: already or did you know? You know I had this already, 1508 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,400 Speaker 1: this one I was gonna play for what this song here? 1509 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know you were gonna say that. You look 1510 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 1: at my list here it says Julian Michael. That's what 1511 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: I've been listening to lately, Julia Michaels, Eric Clapton, Layla 1512 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 1: from Unplugged, the New Michelle Branch Weezer, Like, I'm not lying, 1513 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: this is a lot. We were my fair bands.

Ross probably made that on a laptop. Sorry, yeah, 1545 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying that they probably made that whole track, like 1546 01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: on a laptop. Have you been riding any of the 1547 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift country stuff? No? This is news to me. Okay, 1548 01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: it news to me too. I was just looking at 1549 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: you reaction to see if we did breaks. Are you joking? Yeah? Yeah, 1550 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 1: she's recording in town right now. She's working on She 1551 01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,960 Speaker 1: but but nobody, but nobody knows what's going on. What 1552 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: do you mean I want to go. I'm gonna go 1553 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,640 Speaker 1: stand out of the studio what no one knows? Like 1554 01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:51,639 Speaker 1: and people are arguing do pop? Everything's unlocked. It's gonna 1555 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 1: be the max. You think about her too, as like 1556 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 1: she and why Natshville. I'm calling Nathan Chapman right now. 1557 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: You should you know, Nathan, and here you tell me 1558 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: I'll never come on lug box. But here's the thing 1559 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: that the only thing I would say about her and 1560 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: this project is people like, well, if she does countries, 1561 01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 1: she won't make as much money. Here's the thing about Taylor. 1562 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,679 Speaker 1: If she does a country album, it's gonna go immediately 1563 01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 1: pop as well. It's gonna hit two formats at the 1564 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,280 Speaker 1: same time. I know it'd be a good move, wouldn't it. 1565 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a brilliant brilliant of course she would, 1566 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 1: because she'd be back at pop, but not meaning to 1567 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: why is she so smart? It would be And I 1568 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,320 Speaker 1: don't know that she's doing this. This is just my theory, 1569 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 1: like country right now, because it would go pop as well, 1570 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: and it would put her back into and then she 1571 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,000 Speaker 1: could do the pop record and the love of Oh 1572 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 1: my god, why are they so smart? How are they 1573 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 1: so smart? I don't know that yet. Rot I mean, 1574 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that that's the case.

And again I would tell 1588 01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:21,840 Speaker 1: you the truth. I just don't think you would have 1589 01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,880 Speaker 1: lost a crazy case getting out ahead of it. I 1590 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 1: do get because it would start to freak me out too, 1591 01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:29,320 Speaker 1: because you also just don't want to be in a lawsuit, 1592 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:31,720 Speaker 1: like really, you just don't want to have that hanging 1593 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 1: over your head either for freaking eighteen months.

It's just like 1595 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm getting sued, and so everything else you're doing is 1596 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 1: is quite so. Just you know, I feel like a fraud. 1597 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,720 Speaker 1: The more success you have, the more you feel like 1598 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 1: a fraud, at least I do. The more fraudulently you feel, 1599 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 1: Oh me, for sure. There's a line in a movie 1600 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: I remember, I'll Be Black.
