1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up, we'll talk to John Langston, new

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: artist on Luke Bryant's label who has a song on

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: the top forty right now. So we'll talk to him,

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of get to know him. Until this podcast. I've

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: never met him before, um, but some of my people

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: that I'm super close to love him, so we'll talk

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: to him. Also, Eddie and I will get together and

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: talk about bands, very famous bands that are members that

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: hate each other and how they either kept going or didn't.

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: But we'll do that too. I mentioned the A c

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: m S because they were just announced. There are two

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: major country organizations. The A c m S that award

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: happens in April May always, I think April this year,

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: and the c m AS that one happens in November.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Um A c MS in Las Vegas, a c m's

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: main offices in California. It was kind of started as

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: a West coast country establishment. Really big deal, but the

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: offices in California. The awards show is in Las Vegas.

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: C m AS Nashville, And you know, the c m

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: A is a bigger organization because of you know, they

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: have CMAM Music Fest, they have the CMA Awards. The

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: c M A is here in Nashville, it's closer. Both

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: are massive. I would say the A c M is

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: a little more progressive and new like newer and a

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: little more realistic with what people really like. But the

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: CMAS are a bit more prestigious, and you can sometimes

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: want to c M A a year after you blew up.

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: But I would say the CMAS have a little bit

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: more mm in the show and the award. Both have

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: their strengths, for sure, but people, I say, what's the difference.

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Just that's the two biggest bodies and country music. The

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: A c M s and c m as bought their

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: massive awards, just a bit different ones, a little more progressive. Um,

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: it can take a little more chances, which is really cool,

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: a little younger, and then one the CMA is a

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: little more prestigious, a little a little, a little more

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: in it. I've made two sound effects and like four sentences.

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: The A c M s are now, though the award

39
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: show will be in Las Vegas. I wanted to read

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: some of the awards. The big one is always Entertainer

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: of the Year. You have Luke Brian, Eric Church, Luke Combs,

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Thomas Rhett and Carrie Underwood, which is interesting because this

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: is the first time Luke Combs has ever been up

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: for an Entertainer of the Year and he could actually

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: win it. He could win it. My my prediction was

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: that he would be up for this c M A

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: but but you know, A c ms are a little

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: more progressive, so they were the first to put Luke in. Um,

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: so congrats to those guys. At this point, I don't

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: want to guess. Okay, not because I'm scared to guess.

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't hear me to guests. I would

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: like you to guess. All right, M Entertainer of the Year?

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do? Who I would vote for,

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: but who I think will win? Yeah, I think that's

55
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: a good way because who I think will win wouldn't

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: always be I vote for Luke Brian because of the

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: massive shows, the Farm Tour, which we'll talk about with John,

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: which he just sets up a stage and then thousands

59
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: people come. American idol like, Entertainer of the Year means

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: more to me than just putting out hits because what

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Luke's done. I would vote. I would vote Luke Brian,

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: and one of the Lukes will win it. Yeah, I

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: think so and I'm coughing out there, but I think

64
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Luke Holmes could win it. Luke Bryant could win it.

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: So I would vote Luke Bryan, who I think will

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: win will be one of the Lukes Male Artists of

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the Year. Luke Hombs wins this walking Away because it's

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Dirk's Luke Combs, Thomas Rhet, Chris sta Bolton, Keith Urban

69
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: all Worthy. Dirk's does not get the appreciation that he deserves.

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Thomas Rhett is oddly so successful, and they're they're like

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: three artists that don't get the real credit and they're

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: not asking for the credit. But there are three artists

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: that don't really get the notoriety because of the time

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: and environment they came up in. I think one of

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: them is Thomas Rhett. One of them is Dan and

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Shay because they've kind of been overshadowed by Luke Holmes

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: and Kane Brown even though they're breaking all these barriers.

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: I think there there pop sensibility to hurting them a

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: little bit in the hardcore voters of country. But I

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: think Thomas Rhett, Dan and Shay and the other one

81
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: who kind of gets looked at weirdly and who shouldn't

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: it is Kelsey Ballerini interesting because Marin kind of showed

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: up and seemed a little more traditional. And to look again,

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: they're their own artists. Everybody's different and an art it's

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: hard to quantify. You can look at data, but I

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: think that Kelsey and the feeling of voters kind of

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: got jumped by Maren. So she's not looked at in

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: the way that I would feel she's deserving to be

89
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: looked at. So because I think Kelsey has far more

90
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: number ones than Marin does, but Kelsey does. All three

91
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: of them kind of have a pop lean to them,

92
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: So it's not cool to vote for the pop lean,

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: except when you look back in history and Johnny Cash

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: also the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was

95
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: all over but you get it. Um. I think Luke

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Holmbs wins that though my prediction to about Luke Combs

97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: is this year, maybe next year he has all that

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: crosses over into pop as well, just because he's gonna

99
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: be so big that it's just naturally gonna roll over

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: into it more so than they're gonna chase it. I

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: saw a couple of NBA players on a boat singing

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Luke Holmbs on TikTok. I see him a lot on

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: tick lukems Um, Female Artist of the Year Kelsey, Miranda, Maron,

104
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Casey and Carry tough. One to pick Carries out for

105
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: Entertainer of the Year, be weird if she didn't win

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: Female of the Year. I'm gonna go with Carrie. I

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: think I picked Carrie m I picked Carrie and Carrie

108
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: wins both double Yeah, Duo with the Year, Brooks and

109
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: Dunne Brothers, Osborne, Dan and Shay, Florida, Georgia, Line, Maddie

110
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: and Tay. I picked Dan and Shay, Dan and Sha win.

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: Not even close walking away. Dan. She win twice. She

112
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: needs to get too awards. Uh. They just are breaking

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: every record. Um, I'll say this to f gl's kind

114
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: of being. They haven't had a ton of success. Their

115
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: last record, their last record and sell that well in comparison,

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: but there was massive. They don't get the credit that

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: I feel they deserve because they don't fit that exact

118
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: mold of what people feel like a country artist should be.

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: They have a song now with a pop girl who

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: I heard on a pop station the other day. I

121
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. It feels like the b

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: REXI song again. But hey man, whatever works, and they

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: did justin Bieber. Yummy. I don't know that I love that,

124
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: but I like to say try stuff. I like that

125
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: they're out just doing their own thing. Um so, but

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: Dan and Jay win this award. Group of the Year Lady,

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: a little big town Midland, Old Dominion, the High Women.

128
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Old Dominion wins that one, no problem, they should, they will.

129
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: That's a that's just that's just a one person race

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: because you have Old Dominion, who's that top tier from

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: last year, follow up closely in the second tiers Lady

132
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: and a little big town around the same and then

133
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: they kind of that third tiers Midland and High Women,

134
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and that that voting. So I think Old Dominion wins

135
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that that pretty easily. New Male Artist of the Year

136
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis, Russell Dickerson, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, and Morgan Wallen.

137
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: Morgan Wallan wins, he wins, and I think you should win.

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: New Female Artists of the Year Ingered Andress, Gabby Barrett,

139
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: Lindsay l Kaylee Hammock, Tenniel Towns. It's interesting, you know,

140
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: I think with the discrepancy ease in hearing people's philosophies

141
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: about women on the radio and what they do versus

142
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: what they say they do. A lot of stuff happened

143
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: in there. There weren't there wasn't that the success on

144
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: radio with these five female artists there were with the

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: dude artists. A little harder to cap this one. Gabby

146
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Barrett so new, Lindsay did have a number one with

147
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Brantley has a new song, um Kaylee hit the twenties,

148
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: I think before song fell out to you. That's a

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: tough one. I think that probably And again the record

150
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: label voting, the block voting is gonna get this one

151
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: is what's gonna affect this one. I think the person

152
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: with the highest song is Ingrid, except for Lindsay's do

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: It with Brantley, but that wasn't her song. It was

154
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Brantley song that she was on. I think that Ingrid

155
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: wins this one. She's so new, though, I think Ingrid.

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I'd probably give it to Lindsay, but I think Ingrid

157
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: wins it. Also, I'm a bit biased because I know

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Lindsay super well, obviously, but I'd be cool Lindsey one

159
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: that that that's a tough one. That's a tough one.

160
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: That's a tough one to pick. Um. I think that's

161
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna do as far as the awards, right,

162
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to do the Song of the Year

163
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: ten tho hours Dan and Shaint Bieber. I don't think

164
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: it wins because Bieber's on it. I think that keeps

165
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: some people from voting for it, even though it broke

166
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: every record. But to be fair, you have a bunch

167
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: of Biber people streaming the song too, not just Dan

168
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: and Shay fans, which does taint the numbers a bit.

169
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: It's been the number one song Country Billboard for like

170
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: ten million weeks. That's because mostly or somewhat the Justin

171
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Bieber people tracking that, and it got to go to

172
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: pop because Bieber was on it earlier. Uh. You have

173
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Gar going nowhere, Ashton McBride, God's Country, Blake Shelton, One

174
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: Man Band, Old Dominion some of it, Eric Church. What

175
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: Church gets the cool vote? Um, I'm gonna go Old Dominion,

176
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: One Man Band wins and they should win. There you

177
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: go at the end. Songwriter of the Year. I'm gonna

Speaker 1: to nine with John Langston, who I'll tell you how

225
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: you kind of popped up into my world is I was,

226
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: by the way, hello, we were just talking beforehand. I

227
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: just forget I need to reintroduce everybody on this. Um.

228
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: This was when iTunes was still a big thing. That's

229
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: even a year and a half. It's I mean, now,

230
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: there's every service has their own strength. But you would

231
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: put out a song a year, year and a half

232
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: or so ago, and I didn't know who you were

233
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: at the time, and I was like, first of all,

234
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I went to Number one Country, which I was watching

235
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: because I like to watch and see not just what

236
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: people are playing on the radio, because I kind of

237
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: consider myself one foot in radio one foot out, because

238
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: I can bring things from outer radio and put it

239
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: on radio. And I saw your number one on the

240
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: country chart, and I was like, all right, I'm not

241
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: sure this guy is. But then it went number one

242
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: on the freaking pop chart, and I was like, all

243
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: I should know who this guy is. And that's how

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: it was introduced to you. So but I haven't met

245
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: you until today, so it's nice to me. So let's

246
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: talk about that for a second. What what what song

247
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: was that when it comes to loving you? Okay, this

248
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: song comes out, so explain to me as someone who

249
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: at the time wasn't keen on John Langston. How does

250
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: this song blow up like it did? What do you

251
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: credit that too? Man? I think it was over the years,

252
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, just hitting the road hard and just creating

253
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: a really you know, a fan base from my college

254
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: days and stuff, people coming out these small bars and

255
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: stuff and spreading the word in that way. And I've

256
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: been sticking with me since those years. And uh my

257
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: team did an incredible job getting the getting the word

258
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: out that weekend release. I think we hit our emails

259
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: and and every single social media. I think we sent

260
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: out thousands and thousands of d ms just like hey

261
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: the songs here, go get it, you know, go buy

262
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: it whatever, and uh man, it was just it was crazy.

263
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: It was I mean, I remember just waking up and

264
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: seeing it hit that it hit number one on all genre,

265
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: and I was just like, is this real? Like this

266
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: is crazy? Did you have it crazy? Because I'll just

267
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: use political polls. An example, sometimes under these polls don't

268
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: go what we expect this person to win, and or

269
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: a movie number before a weekend, we expect this movie

270
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: to do this. Well, did you have any idea when

271
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: that song would come out that it would actually do that.

272
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: I honestly did not think it would do anything like that.

273
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Like it was. I was so dumbfound is so surprised,

274
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: So just like this is crazy, like I was just

275
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to react at the time. But

276
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: I knew the song was special. I knew it was

277
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: something very different from what I was doing. It was

278
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: very different songwriting wise, and the sound was different, and

279
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was very bluesy and very just a

280
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: different take and who I am as an artist, and

281
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: it was just it was a big reach, you know,

282
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: to get out there and put this song out. And

283
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna cause some kind of you know,

284
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: people go oh man, what is this? I like this

285
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: song or whatever, But I didn't know it was gonna

286
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: create that much of a splash. It's such a splash

287
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: that again people were hitting me up, going, hey, you

288
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: know much about John Linkston because again, it just kind

289
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: of ripped through everything which is and I think giving

290
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: your team credits cool, But you can have the greatest

291
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: team in the world if you don't have the people

292
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: don't have anything, right, Like, it seems like you have

293
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: a very dedicated bas and I kind of want to

Speaker 1: you play? Fullback? In linebacker? Oh, that's a that's a

308
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: spot to get the concussion. It was. It was rough,

309
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: and my last concussion, it was the scariest day of

310
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: my life. Like I literally went blind for like twenty

311
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: minutes and you remember it like I I remember getting

312
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: hit and like pice. It was like coming off my

313
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: fifth one and did all the protocols. You know, it's

314
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: like two months since I practiced, and it was the

315
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: middle of the season. I was ready to get back

316
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: out there and trying to finish out this junior year.

317
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: And uh, first drill back, first one inside drill, just bad.

318
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I was all excited. So I was the first one

319
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: up to go and then bam. I just felt on

320
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: my knees. I could feel my eyes were open. I

321
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: couldn't but you could feel your eyes were open, but

322
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: I could just you know, when like you close your

323
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: eyes and you can see like shapes and stuff. That's

324
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: what it felt like. That's what I all I could.

325
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: That's all I could see. And I was just screaming

326
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: and just like crying because I thought I just hit

327
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: myself blind forever And you remember this vividly. Oh yeah,

328
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't because I've been had my concussion before that.

329
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: I was like knocked out and like I like came

330
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: to and like was calling the quarterback a different name

331
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: and he's like, my name is Chandler. I was like,

332
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: oh it was this it's a scary thing, man, like

333
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: those concussions, those head head trauma injuries or nothing. Played

334
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: around with six of them. Why after like three, John,

335
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: do you go back? Because I'm gonna tell you're you're right,

336
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'm going to give you a

337
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: real weenie story about me. So I played high school

338
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: football only and and I took a knee, and I

339
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: played wide receiver a little bit of slot, but even

340
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the slot was too inside for me. I was like,

341
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be I'm not trying to go

342
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: across the middle. I'm not trying to do anything, just

343
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: down the on the edges because I don't want to

344
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: get hit. I hate to get a hit. I had

345
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: no interest. I would only play defense when it was

346
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: nickel or dime package only, and I played in the

347
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: very bag. I was the safety safety, no interest and

348
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: get it. Hit didn't like it, and so I just

349
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: no no interest whatsoever. I had decent hands and adequate speed,

350
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: so I could catch the but I didn't want to

351
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: play on the inside. So I plan on the outside.

352
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: And I um coaches like, all right, since you can catch,

353
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna return points. Because our punt returning went down

354
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: and at the time, it was just catch the point

355
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: and get a few yards and that's it. Just just

356
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: just don't bobble the point. Just don't lose the point.

357
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: So that's all right. So balls up in the air,

358
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, only corrapt here it comes and and

359
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of time do you return to point.

360
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time to think. There's a lot

361
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: of time to think, yeah, people are just you can't

362
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: really look at the people, but you can feel them coming.

363
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: So the balls up in there and I'm like, oh

364
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: how about this? Oh my god. And so I go

365
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: put my hands out and I remember the ball bounced

366
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: off my hands, just like it's not supposed to under

367
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: the ground. So I'm like, all right, well i gotta

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: jump on it now. And I jump into the pile

369
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: and I take a knee to the head, only just

370
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: a knee of the head. And I remember getting up

371
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: and seeing the yard marker turn it from one to three,

372
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: and I went right then I went, I'm not doing

373
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: this again, like I want to keep playing ball. But

374
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: there's I'm not getting my head. No, I get it.

375
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: That wasn't even concussion. That's probably just getting hit after

376
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: like your second or third one, like like what are

377
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: your folks saying? I mean, I mean it was it

378
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: wasn't all in like a year, you know, so that

379
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: it was like I had one in eighth grade, one

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: in like tenth grade and won my senior year, and

381
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: then it was like, you know, three in college. So

382
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: it was like a total of six and banner of

383
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: like ten years. And did you have a you have

384
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: a football scholar show. I can understand a little bit too,

385
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: because again scary because you want to finish out school

386
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: and you want to do all that so and you

387
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: want to have school paid for. Like I grew up broke.

388
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: If someone was like, take a few concussions and you'd

389
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: be a good football player, I'd probably done it. So

390
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I retracted about thirty percent of I hate towards keep

391
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: playing with concussions, but not all of it. But yeah,

392
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: that's your sixth one. You open your eyes, you can't see.

393
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: You thought maybe you were blind? I thought I was

394
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: at that time. I was scary, and so what do

395
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: they what do they take you? So I wonder the er, like,

396
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, I finally came back like twenty minutes later.

397
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Is it a slow comeback or yeah? It was like, really,

398
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: it was like really slow and I just gradually, you know,

399
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: I felt like it was like came out of like

400
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, the pool or something waters in my eye,

401
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Like that's how it felt, and slowly came back and

402
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, but I knew right then.

403
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I looked at Kevin. My trainer said,

404
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm done. That's You're like, it's only been six I

405
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: think wish would be we should be conservative and colity

406
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: here before. So we had a meeting with the doctors,

407
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: my coaches, and trainer, and we all were like, yeah,

408
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: this is it. So were you playing music at the time,

409
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: even somewhat? I mean, I've always loved, you know, just

410
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: getting out my guitar, playing the two three chords that

411
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: I knew and like the one song that I knew

412
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: and I had like guitar lessons when I was like

413
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: eight grade. But it wasn't nothing you want playing bars.

414
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing bars. I wasn't like writing songs yet.

415
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: So so then what do you do, because you go,

416
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: all right, if football is not my thing, because you're

417
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: a guy that needs a thing. Yeah, if football is

418
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: not your thing, how do you decide it's music and

419
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: not like archery or like really, how do you decide that?

420
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Always was a fan of songwriting really and like Red

421
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: Akins was a huge like like I loved his songs

422
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: and you know followed him for years and what he

423
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: was doing and and so excuse me, and uh man,

424
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: I just you know, I needed, like you said, I

425
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: need a new passion like and and I played every

426
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: year football since I was six years old. I needed

427
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: something else to go chase a new a new dream,

428
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: a new goal to chase a because that's what my

429
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: whole life has been, just chasing goals that I've set

430
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: out and um, and when I started writing songs, it

431
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: felt that void of you know, chasing a new dream,

432
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: chasing a new goal. And when I was, you know,

433
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to learn how to play songs and trying to

434
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: learn how to do covers and posting them on the internet,

435
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: and it was just for fun. It was just something

436
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: to get me through that tough time where I didn't

437
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: know what I was gonna do in my life. So

438
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: that's how it started. Then for you is that your

439
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: home or in the dorm or wherever you are, and

440
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: you just put them on the internet. Yeah, and so

441
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: Were you getting positive feedback from this? Yeah, it was.

442
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: It was getting like, hey, but that's pretty good. I

443
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: like that song and a song called Forever Girl that

444
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: I posted. This is John Langston Forever Girl from two

445
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen. Look how good we are these notes? Man?

446
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: This was thirteen. Was it? Look how bad we are

447
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: with these notes? No? It's good. No, we know. Two

448
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen, I re released it as a steak.

449
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Here's forever Girl girl. So you put this up on YouTube?

450
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 1: So I put it up as a just acoustic, just

451
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: me and a guitar in my room and uh. I

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: hit up my buddy Josh Manuel, who's uh had a

453
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: basement studio in Atlanta and he was like doing like

454
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: demo sessions and stuff. I was like, hey, man, I

455
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: got a song I want to come record. It's like sure,

456
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: So over Christmas break went there recorded the song. I

457
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: literally had to google how to put a song up

458
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: on iTunes and stuff, and you know, that's how it happened.

459
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: And I just put it up, put it on YouTube,

460
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and they started creating a buzz in the Southeast and

461
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Georgia and like the you know where I would go.

462
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: And then I started playing gigs, and what does that mean?

463
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: Created a buzz? I think if for everybody it's a

464
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: different definition. So what does it mean for you? You

465
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: post a show on YouTube? Does it just organically get

466
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: I just remember it's seeing getting shared all over Facebook.

467
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: So the sharing was was what was happening on Facebook?

468
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. So you upload the video of you

469
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: in the studio or playing in your room with no

470
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: sort of microphone. They're trying to picture this, so you're

471
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: just in your room playing it into the computer, computer

472
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: recording you. So it's getting shared all over and you go,

473
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: maybe something to this, Maybe I should go out. And

474
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: then my buddy who I wanted to UM high school.

475
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: He was a friend with a bartender and Athens Georgia

476
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: bar Kaaljenko. He said, hey, you know they want you

477
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: to come play like twenty minutes before this other acoustic set.

478
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: I said, I never played before, So sure and played

479
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: that and fifteen and my buddies showed up. We had

480
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a blast, and you know, we got a free bar tab.

481
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: It was cool. It's fun. That was your pay for

482
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: your person free bar tab. Yeah, it was awesome, And

483
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: I just remember my parents were there, like everyone like

484
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: my uncle was there. You know. It was cool. It

485
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: was just like people were singing the song, you know.

486
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: But it wasn't until about a month later after I

487
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: released a song on iTunes that Uh, I get a

488
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: call from my buddy at Kennesaw State and he's like, hey, man,

00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: we got a frat party. Uh, Chase Rice is playing.

490
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: We want you to open full band. Here's your time.

491
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: We can't pay you nothing, but we got plenty of

492
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: beer for you. I said, I've never played a full

493
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: band in my life. Like, so I called up my

494
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: buddy Josh in the studio and I said, hey, you

495
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: wanna do you want to put a band together? We

496
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: gotta play a gig like to my are. So we

497
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: stayed up all night put a band together. Literally just

498
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: practiced a bunch of cover songs, and when the next

499
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: day played it, we were terrible, but it was awesome.

500
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: We had a great time. You played a bunch of

501
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: covers and you played Forever Girl. So the last song

502
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: we played Forever Girl, did anybody sing it back? They know?

503
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: So this is when this was like my moment where

504
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: I just knew this is what I want to do

505
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life, Like there's eight hundred

506
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: college kids. They're just like party and have good time,

507
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: you know. But when I started playing Forever Girl, they

508
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: knew every single word and they were screaming as loud

509
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: as I can. I was just like blown away, and

510
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: I was just like this, okay, this is what I

511
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: want to do for the rest of my life. I

512
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: just I'll never forget that feelings sitting there here and

513
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: did you to finish the school? Okay, so you're moved music.

514
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: You're like, I know what I want to do and

515
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't involve whever I'm studying. What were you studying?

516
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: I was doing criminology and sociology. Who needs that? Yeah?

517
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: That trying to do music over here? So you were

518
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: inside your junior year or so you were, So you

519
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: decide you're gonna do music. Now. Are your parents still around? Yeah? Okay,

520
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: so did you have to have the conversation with them.

521
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of school. And I remember telling

522
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: my mom, you know, when I got off stage, and

523
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, I know what I'm gonna do.

524
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move to Nashville'm gonna write songs. She's like, okay,

525
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: like hopefully you'll finished school and that didn't happen. So

526
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: but they were so supportive. And when I said, you know,

527
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna finish school right now, I'm gonna go

528
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: to chase this thing, I thought they were gonna do

529
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: the typical parent thing. No, you're gonna finish, You're gonna

530
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: do this. But so I wasn't gonna go home and

531
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna do anymore school. So I've never even

532
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: been in Nashville before. Scariest day and I just like

533
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: looked up at cheap, you know, place in Bellevue to

534
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: go rent out a little apartment and started out and

535
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: packed up the dog and came home. That's almost what

536
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: I did too. When I moved here, I don't know

537
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: that I had ever been here. I had a job

538
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: that was waiting. They were like, hey, moved, you know,

539
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: do this job. I wanted to move here, but I've

540
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: never been here, And I moved to Bellevue with the

541
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: dog in a in a tiny rent apartment that was

542
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: I lived there for like two months or so. It

543
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: was cold, and I went to mos every day because

544
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: it was a mose right over where I was living.

545
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: And my first memory of Nashville was every day. After

546
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: I would go to work, I would come in and

547
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: here we'll go to Mose. You ever go to Mose

548
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and they had that machine of Mose with all the

549
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: different drinks on it, so you just put your cup down.

550
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: You have like nineteen drinks. And although I'm well into

551
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: my thirties now, I still I think I made a suicide.

552
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: What you got? Just every time my eight year old self. Yeah,

553
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: so you moved to Nashville. How many years ago you

554
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: come to town? This was two? So may you have

555
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: you played a bunch of shows before you moved or

556
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: you had to move here and then try it? Was? Well?

557
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: I was, so I was while I was in college

558
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: that whole year. You know, I was contemplating finishing or

559
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna move and I was still doing school. But that's

560
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: why I didn't finish because I miss so much class. Um,

561
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: So you move here, you decide you're you missed so

562
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: much school, so you just like, might as well not

563
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: go back to school. All the kids listening, that's the dream, right,

564
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: that's the dream. That's the dream. And then did you

565
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: move to Nashville to be a songwriter or to be

566
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: an artist? In your mind? When I felt what on

567
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: stage during that show, I knew I wanted to perform

568
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: my songs that I was writing. So I knew I

569
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: was like, there was no better feeling than that, and

570
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: and I knew right then that I wanted to be

571
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: an artist as well too. I'm gonna play some of

572
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,440

596
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: town in that sundown town sound school from logan Bill, Georgia.

597
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: What's what's Loganville like? And it's blown up? Now, it's

598
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: blown up. It's blown up. I went, I was there.

599
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: I drove through there the other day and it's just

600
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: like new restaurants everywhere, new neighborhoods everywhere. It's crazy how

601
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: many people live in Loganville. And I think eight thousand now,

602
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: so still a small town. It's still small town. But

603
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: like I mean, it was like back in the day.

604
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Do they have an applebee though? Oh yeah, because when

605
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: we got an apple I'm from a town of seven hundred,

606
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: but Hot Springs was town. Like when you go to town,

607
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you drive to Hot Springs. That's where Walmart was. Sore.

608
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: I think that's for a lot of people to grow

609
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: up in small towns in the country. Walmart is the

610
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: is the edge just when you no you're getting to

611
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: town and outside. When they built Applebee's on the edge

612
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: of Walmart, I was like, now we're living when they

613
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: built that applebee that was pretty pumped about that. Loganville, Georgia.

614
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Did you go to like the school in Loganville? I

615
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: went to Grayson High School, so you know, like you're

616
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: talking about, I grow up like in the Grayson area,

617
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: which is like and then Loganville was like the bigger town.

618
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: You know. It was Luke. I tell you why I

619
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: reached out to you to bring you up was I

620
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: was having dinner with Luke and Luke and I never

621
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: talked business ever, but I asked him. I was like, hey,

622
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: I know John, like you're part of John's dealing. So

623
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: what do you like about John. It wasn't like is

624
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: he any good? Obviously, Luke Brian thinks you're good if

625
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: he is invested in you, and he goes he said,

626
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: I won't do the impression. But he was like, you know,

627
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: he said, there's a lot of people in Nashville that

628
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: are good, he goes, but there are only a few

629
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: that work really hard that just grind it out. And

630
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Luke was a grinder back in the day. And so

631
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: when he said that, he was like, you know, I

632
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: just haven't seen like people with the hustle like John hustles.

633
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: And so I was like, you know, that's the kind

634
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: of guy I want to bring up here. And that's

635
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: that was what made this connection, was just sitting eat

636
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: dinner with Luke and him going, you know, John works

637
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: really hard. Because I'm somebody was like, I don't have

638
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but nobody's gonna outwork me, exactly,

639
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: and so and and even Carrie, your manager, was saying

640
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: the same thing. She was like, I just am so

641
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: invested in the guy that puts his heart and just

642
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: there's so many clubs and so many bars and just

643
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: shows up night after night, which made that song when

644
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: it popped so big, which made that a think where

645
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: it is the people, you know, it is the people

646
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: that you're seeing all the time out there that no

647
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like, you know, going back to

648
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: the football thing, you know, I was I was not

649
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: the tallest, you know, I wasn't the the fastest, strongest guy,

650
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: but like I wanted what I wanted to go get

651
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: setting those goals. And I wanted to go get a

652
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: scholarship to go play football in college. And I set

653
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: out on it, and you know, a lot of people

654
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: doubted me. A lot of people, you know, you know,

655
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: you know on paper, you know I should you know,

656
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: shouldn't go play it? Do you want in school? But

657
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: like I just you know the things I learned from football,

658
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, working hard, waking up, go to practice, uh

659
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: discipline and you know, going to weight room when the

660
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: others weren't going. It's the same thing. And you know

661
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: music like are you gonna wake up and and go

662
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: write that song when you know when someone else is

663
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: in or you're gonna write the song that someone else?

664
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's the same type of mentality. And I

665
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: feel I feel like that's helped me in in this grind.

666
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: Whenever you move here, do you ever reach out to Rhet?

667
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: You said, Rhet? Was that so? Two months after I moved,

668
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: I can still show you the d M on Twitter

669
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: and said, hall at me, Rhett. And I'm sitting there

670
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: in tin roof, had a few beers. I'm like, oh

671
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: my god, but they have a winder in the picture

672
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: or is it just it was no. It was like

673
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: at first, I think it's like, you know, one of

674
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: those fake accounts, and I see the blue check and

675
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: I see just how lapped me in his number, and

676
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, look look at my buddies.

677
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do I do. They're like, don't call

678
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: him right now? And so I called him next day

679
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 1: and we talked forever and uh, you know when over

680
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: his house, we had a beer and just told him

681
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: my goals and told him, you know, my story, play

682
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: him a few songs I was working on. And he's like, man,

683
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: I want to help you, you know, I want to

684
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: show you how this works and everything, but I'm not

685
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna help you if you don't you know, you're not

686
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna put into this, if you're gonna half asked this,

687
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna help you like I want you.

688
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's what instilled to me when I

689
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: moved to town, like Okay, this is real. This is

690
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: what I It's either balls of the walls or I'm

691
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: this ain't gonna happen. So um. I feel like that

692
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: meeting really helped set the tone when I move to

693
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: town because I knew right then I was like man,

694
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: I got somebody who's gonna take a chance on me,

695
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: and I cannot let them down. And he vousked me

696
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: to get a publishing deal. Yeah, and so then you

Speaker 1: It's fun. It's fun there because we're I'm doing a

815
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: bunch of fairs, a couple of festivals. The good thing

816
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: is they pay well more than they probably should, right

817
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: because they're just paying you to come out and entertain

818
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: of who knows how many people are gonna show up.

819
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: That's if it's fair. We're having a fair. They need

820
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: to say we have all these people playing. The bad

821
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: news about it is a lot of times stage is

822
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: crappy and the sound is crappy, and so you just

823
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: kind of go. You just gotta g do you do?

824
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: You just go listen? And I'm not winning any awards

825
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: from my musicality anyway. But the festival season is fine

826
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: because you get to also hang out with a bunch

827
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: of your friends who you don't normally get to hang

828
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,239

829
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: to do your music and have your fun while also

830
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: there's nine busses in the back of faster horses and

831
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: you're back there with everybody just hanging. That's one of

832
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,520

836
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,040

837
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: great friend. Brian O'Connell is just the man when he

838
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: comes to put a festival together. Well, listen, man, I've

839
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: enjoyed talking with you. I admire that you are someone

840
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: who just puts his head down and go not to

841
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: get head down and get concussions, but puts his head

842
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: down and just goes to work. And you know it eventually,

843
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: for people that don't stop working, you see the rewards.

844
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes like I get irritated because I'm busting

845
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: my tail and I'm like, what's what? Where? Where is it?

846
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: The one thing that I've learned is that people can't

847
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: stop you from working hard. They make it stop you

848
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: from other things. They make it tell you're not good

849
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: at this now, they make it tell you the door

850
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: is not open now. But they can't stop you from

851
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: banging your head against it and keep working. So you

852
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: don't need my encouragement, but I encourage you. Just keep

853
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing that got you here. With me,

854
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I love someone that'll just show up

855
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: and do the work. And so yeah, do the deal man.

856
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: Congratulations on everything. I hope when I look at the

857
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: chart in a few weeks at thirty sevens at thirty

858
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: one and three, and let's go songs about how small

859
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: John Langston, all right, we're now I gonna talk about

860
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: famous bandmates who hated each other with my bandmate from

861
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: The Raging Idiots, Eddie, You sure, I don't think. I

862
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know that we could have even moderately been annoyed

863
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: with each other and kept doing it. Because there's only

864
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: two of us. We're really not making that much money.

865
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: I feel like we just love doing it, so that's

866
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: why we do it. But yeah, if if we hated

867
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: each other, we would just stop. Yeah. I feel like

868
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: if we weren't really good friends, I would have just

869
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: went solo. Oh wow, nice, thank you. So you just

870
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: kept me on because I'm a friend. No, I would

871
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: have just done a stand up comedy the guitar on.

872
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's something about the music stuff that

873
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: we do that people just love. And it's weird how

874
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: we were what were received really well, Like when we

875
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: play together, people will love us and we love them

876
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: no matter what we do with each other. You mean,

877
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: we can just go up there and I mean look

878
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: at what we Look what we used to do. We

879
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: used to play in restaurants for thirty people, bad parodies. Yeah, Mike,

880
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: they would they would we walk into a rib joint,

881
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, and they would just move all the tables

882
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: and like, all right, this is where you play. Sometimes

883
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: people would come, some say wouldn't and then smash cut.

884
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: We play for two people of night now or festivals. Um,

885
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: and we're not that good. Our band is really good.

886
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: I should say I'm not that good of a singer,

887
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: but our songs are really funny. Now we've definitely gotten

888
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: a lot better in our content is super funny. It's

889
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: a really fun. I would be proud of people to

890
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: come to the show now. At one point I'd be like, no,

891
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: we're just having fun with people, And now I think

892
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: we're really entertaining people. Um, like the of the Target

893
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: song Mike on our latest shopping and Target we khaki

894
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: pantsing a red shirt on, don't go shopping and Target

895
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: we khaki pansing a red polo shirt on. So it's

896
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: fun and we've gotten good and we're getting way funnier.

897
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: Did you ever get annoyed with me or anything? Like,

898
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: just while we've been doing late that was trying to leave,

899
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: he must be late, let's just go. That was New Orleans. Yeah,

900
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: it was like he wants to be late, be dispectful,

901
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: just go, I tell the driver and dropps. I don't

902
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: know what to dude. It was just in the suit.

903
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, her was get down here right now.

904
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave. Famous bandmates who hated each other pump up.

905
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: Some of the biggest bands and people in the band

906
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: could not stand each other. Some of them were able

907
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: to stay together, some weren't. And so every band on here,

908
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: from Oasis to CCR, all great music, at some point,

909
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: all hated each other. Some stay together, some didn't. And

910
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I will say, if you're in a

911
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: band with someone for so long, just the natural human

912
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: of people, you grow apart. You grow, you have different interests,

913
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: you have different reasons for staying in the band or

914
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: or not staying in the band, or different friend group.

915
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: It just as the natural evolution of human beings. You

916
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: have different friends that you're twenty that you do. So

917
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: that being said, we'll start with Aerosmith. Who hated who?

918
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: What two people in arrows with hitted each other? I

919
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: mean it would be Joe Perry and Steve Steve lead

920
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: singer and guitar player. Here's the clip of Aerosmith. If

921
00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: you want to and do they still hit each other?

922
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: I think they they They're back to let's just do music.

923
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: But the basic issue was that Joe Perry was in

924
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: it for the music and Steven Tyler was in it

925
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: for the fame and the women. I don't know, it

926
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: didn't matter to me. It's like, guys, you're making good

927
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: music either way, right, I mean, it's just don't don't

928
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: worry what whatever everyone's in in it for, Like, just

929
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: do it. Joe Perry once told him just because we're

930
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: a band together doesn't mean we have to be friends.

931
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: Who that's tough though, told be that close all the

932
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 1: time and not be friends. Well, and I did see

933
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: even when they played the Grammys. You can kind of tell,

934
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: like like Joe Perry would be annoyed with Steven Tyler

935
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: just their demeanor on stage. And I didn't really forgot

936
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: about this. I remember reading about it a long time ago,

937
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: but I forgot that they hate each other. And I

938
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: saw it when I saw the Grammys. Well, now the

939
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: keyboard is like once in the band and they wouldn't

940
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: let him in it anymore. But again, they're like a

941
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: hundred Oasis. Here's a clup of Oasis. I played this

942
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: c D until my CD player smoked, really of exhaustion.

943
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: What's the story Morning Glory. Yeah, it's good stuff. Man.

944
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: Man who hated to Oh I think Noel hated Liam

945
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: because Liam was a slacker or something. Well they're only

946
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: two of them, so they hated each other. Um, but

947
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: they always fought since I remember them. Yeah, I mean

948
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a brother's thing, you know, Like me and

949
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: my brother fought all the time. I have four boys

950
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: at the house right now, three of them fighting NonStop,

951
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: and the other one is a baby. So so if

952
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: he's old enough, he'll fight too. That's just what brothers do. Yeah,

953
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: but do you get in a band, it isn't an

954
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: overarching love over the fighting, and if you're gonna it

955
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: just seems I think it's easier to fight if you're

956
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: in a band together as brothers because but then you

957
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: start making money, and yet you have to get along

958
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: for your lengevitdy, your career, your finances. They didn't give

959
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: an f They really didn't know. They used lots of

960
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: controlled substances, had lots of bad shows, and one show

961
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: Liam hitt Noel with a tambour. Noel quit the next

962
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: day You're re going rejoined the group. Um, they were

963
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna ump record of empty emptb on plug. Excuse me.

964
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: Liam claimed to have laryngitis, so no one had to

965
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: sing all the solos, which wasn't what I'm saying. Just

966
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: annoyed with the dude, like you're just messing us up.

967
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 1: Rather than head to home to rest his voice, Liam

968
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: said in the balcony where he drank and heckled the

969
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: band through the whole set. I remember this. Liam refused

970
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: to America with the band, once again, forcing Noel to

971
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: sing something that he believes ruin the band's chances for

972
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: stardom in America. In two thousand, Liam allegedly question whether

973
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: Noel was actually the father of his oldest daughter. No

974
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: quick the band, So it's Noel quit in the band

975
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: all the time? You noticed that. I think you just

976
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: gets tired of Liam's crap every single time, and they're like,

977
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: all right, fine, let's get back together. Guns and Roses

978
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: Actel hated all the guys. Wow. Really, Guns and Roses

979
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: problems beginning the early nineties. Now again, this is later

980
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: on for Guns and Roses because they were an eighties

981
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 1: band for the most this would be um illusion, illusion,

982
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: lose or use? Did you say maybe you lose? I

983
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Um, nobody knew why Axel

984
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: and Slash hatted each other. It seemed like they were

985
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: just having creative differences. According to Guns and Roses, old

986
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: Road manager, the feud can be boiled down to Michael Jackson.

987
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: In an interview with Rolling Stone, Doug gold Scene revealed

988
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: that after Slash agreed to play guitar on Michael Jackson's

989
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: Black or White actually got piste. Axel was allegedly molested

990
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: by his father as a child, and even though Jackson

991
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: had yet to be investigative for child molestation, rumors were flying,

992
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: and Axel believe the rumors. Then, when Slash reportedly admitted

993
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: he was getting paid with a flat screen TV, the

994
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: devastated rose the relationship went bad. They shut it down.

995
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: It was the college football You got paid with a TV?

996
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude. Yeah, but the payola scandal of

997
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: radio of two thousand one, I never heard that story. Excellent,

998
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: slash Bury the hatchet recently or the reunion toryly kicked

999
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: off in and they're playing now again. They're probably just

1000
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: like we can use the money. The Eagles they're not

1001
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: on this list, I don't think. Then the list they

1002
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: don't talk. They just come out before the John walk

1003
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: out together. That's just unbelievable to me. Um, you guys

1004
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: are just like that though. Van Halen, oh, big time.

1005
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: They they hate all their singers. It was it was

1006
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: brothers versus everyone else because Eddie van Halen and Alex

1007
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: van Halen they were they were the brothers of the

1008
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: van and they just hated everyone else and if it

1009
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: wasn't their way, it would be like, sorry, you're out.

1010
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: But they think The weird thing was they weren't the

1011
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: stars of the group. No, they weren't, And so you

1012
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: don't get your way if you're not the star of

1013
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: the group of whatever the situation. There's a star, the

1014
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: star gets away, the star leaves the David Lee Roth

1015
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: and Sammy Hagar eras the two lead singers, by the way,

1016
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: they were more there was the guy from the Extreme

1017
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: I forgot about that time. Um, so you know they

1018
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: both got into a big time that massive, massive hits. Yeah,

1019
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: and you know it's probably always awkward for the basis,

1020
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: who's all just like all right, whatever, guys, let's just play.

1021
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: Nobody showed up for the Rock and Roll Hall of

1022
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: Fame induction ceremony, but Sammy Hagar and um Anthony is

1023
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 1: he the keys player, He's the basis. He's the basis

1024
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: bass player m who later went on to found Chicken

1025
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: Foot Together, which is Sammy Hagar's man. I only know

1026
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: that because Howard Starne show and they want to play

1027
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: chicken fot so here we go. Eddie Van Halen heavily

1028
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: criticized Anthony after firing later the same year. Something Hagar

1029
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: never got over anyway, Who cares? Do you like their music?

1030
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: Before me? Oh? I love Van Helen. This is my

1031
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: brother listened to it all the time. I never never

1032
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: got into it here on classic rock, never in pop

1033
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: because a little ahead of me, do not have anybody

1034
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: giving it to me. Uh. Simon and Garfuncle, they hit

1035
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: at each other. That's tough, man. You're a duo like

1036
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 1: you know bands. I get it whatever, but they're duo.

1037
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: They create, and gosh, it's gonna be tough. Paul Simon

1038
00:50:55,239 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: wrote songs. Garfuncle was the front guy because Paul Simon

1039
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: was too shy to sing and they did not like

1040
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: each other. After a while, Simon and Garfuncle bridge over

1041
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: trouble Water the Boxer at the Rock and Roll Induction

1042
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: but they still got at each other. Garfuncle said he'd

1043
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: created a monster, while Simon took credit for having quote

1044
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: enriched garf Funcle's life quite a bit. Wow, Man's two.

1045
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: There's that power struggle. Here's a hate quote. I regret

1046
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: at the ending of our friendship, and I hope that

1047
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: one day before we die well able to make peace

1048
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: with each other. Then he added, no, rush who said that,

1049
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: garlf uncle? That is Paul Simon. Here's a clip of

1050
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: Simon and Garfuncle. Go right, let's move over to kiss

1051
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: Geene Simon and Paul Stanley hate Ace Freely and Peter

1052
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: Chris Jean Simmons. What would I say, Simon, I don't know, dude. Yes, yeah,

1053
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: this is the one time I get to correct you

1054
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: at this point. Yes. Stanley and Simmons took a part

1055
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: in a very public dispute over which contributors would go

1056
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame power struggle.

1057
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: They had already had a bunch of controversy because they

1058
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: allowed people to dress up like Chris and Ace and

1059
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: they really weren't them. Because you put the paint on

1060
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: the people, you would never know. Simmons pointly thanked every

1061
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: other Kiss member passed and present. Meanwhile, Chris took his

1062
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,680

1086
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,239

Speaker 1: one looked up the definition. Not really. They were like

1092
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: the talking about concubines in the Bible. We're like the

1093
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: concubine Kings. Come on. And then we did a song,

1094

Speaker 1: you know, because I'm bad at the bone. We did

1095
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: but there's golden above, Pardy put your hands out. Yeah

1096
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,840

1097
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: Mike Love hated each other, and Mike Love is basically

1098
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: the leader of it now. Brian Wilson even the Beach

1099
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: Boys anymore, and an and I read recently that he

1100
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: was I think Brian Wilson was trying to get everyone

1101
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: to boycott. Yeah, because they they're playing in the hunting

1102
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: log that's right, that's right, Yes, like a big hunting lodge,

1103
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: which you always think Brian Wilson doesn't care about anything

1104
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: and never hear from Brian Wilson other than just music stuff.

1105
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: But he's just like, no, do not go. He agreed

1106
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: to play this show. One he's not the Beach Boys,

1107
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: and two don't go support that Smashing Pumpkins. Yeah, I

00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,120

1111
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: names weren't romans. I thought they were all brothers. I

1112
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: don't think that's dumb. Though they look the same. Yeah,

1113
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: I thought so their name is right. I was like,

1114
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: cool man, what did you think when they started swapping

1115
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: out members and you got more family and didn't realize

1116
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: they swapped out members? Kings of Leon? Oh yeah, that

1117
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: documentary is crazy. Have you seen that one? They all

1118
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: hitted each other. Yeah, that one's nuts because the documentary

1119
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: starts with the lead singer just sitting on a front

1120
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: porch starting opening up a bottle of liquor opening up

1121
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: and at the end of the towards the end of

1122
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: the documentary, he's just wasted, and that's what a lot

1123
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,479
Speaker 1: of this has gout, alcohol issues and soide. He starts crying,

1124
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: talking about the band and getting really emotional, and they're like, yeah,

1125
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: well there you go. Well bands are humans, Yeah, no, absolutely,

1126
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: and you keep them together and force them together and

1127
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: make them work together in a supposed to be a

1128
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: creative space and some person's gotta take the lead and

1129
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: other people are gonna agree with it. They're money and creativity.

1130
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: It's just a lot you imagine too, like the cheating

1131
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: going on, especially if there's not a defined leader. Yes,

1132
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: if there's not an a salute defined leader, this is

1133
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: the person, then there's a lot of that because right

1134
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: or wrong, the leader's leader until he's not good enough

1135
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: be the leader anymore and gets replaced, dies, the band

1136
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 1: goes away. You know, if there's not a defined this

1137
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: person is making the decisions, you start to see if

1138
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: people are all equals, you can start to fight over

1139
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: whose ideas what? And wouldn't you agree that every band fights.

1140
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: Any group people fight, they start together, Yeah, not just

1141
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: every band, Yes, yes, I agree to that. Yes, but

1145
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: travel the world and actually we're gonna be together. So

1146
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: like my D and I've got into it before and

1147
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,080

1148
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: don't talk. Don't talk, No, we don't talk anyway. It's

1149
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: just like it happens and then the end um. But yeah,

1150
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: all right, that is uh that that was an interesting segment.
