1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, Bailey Zimmerman, it's gonna be a good one.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: We've already done it, so I can say that, but

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: a good conscious he blew up on TikTok, and that's

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: a thing, right, and kids, TikTok kid. This story is

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: just a lot different than that. It's I didn't even

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: know he blew up on TikTok really. When I had

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: him in full disclosure as this is episode three seven,

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I was just looking at Dad and it was like,

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Bailey Zimmerman one of the most consumed country artists of

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: all country artists. I'm talking about, up against Luke Combs

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: and Morgan Wall and Kenney Chesney. And I was like,

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: how is this happening? So I told Mike Mike d

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: my excellent producer and right hand man. I said, hey,

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: let's get her on the show. And he said, um,

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: that ain't a herb, bro. And I was like, oh,

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Bailey is a dude. I had no idea, and he's like, yeah,

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Bailey's to do this, well, let's get him on the show.

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: And then he came in and I tell him at

19
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: the end my review of him, which was funny. And

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: this is also his first real interview ever. So I

21
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: loved it. I don't know, Bailey, you might be listening

22
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: to this back. Great job, buddy, I can't wait to

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: do more with you and see you explode and just

24
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: a big fan of this kid now after hanging out

25
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: with them, I don't say that often. Sometimes I get

26
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: on this and I'm like, why I ever want to

27
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: hang out with that person again? That's a good one,

28
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Bailey Zimmerman. Go follow him Bailey dot Zimmerman on TikTok

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: and enjoy this very refreshing Bobby cast. Here we go.

30
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: When you were driving in, Bailey, one of the guys

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: that worked through it was like, I think he's got

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: like a monster truck. I was gonna bring it and

33
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: then it starts coming through and I was like, well,

34
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: it looks like a nice white SUV, but I don't

35
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: see how big is the truck? This this mysterious truck.

36
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: The mirror get up on the microphone right there yet

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: the mirror it's probably two or three foot above my

38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: head the side mirror, so if I'm standing up it's

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: probably I mean, it's really so. I feel like it

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: would be one of those helicopter rope ladders to get

41
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: up in does it have a ladder that comes out,

42
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: or you just put yourself up. Every side. Well, I've

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: been really working on getting steps for it that come down,

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: but they're not in yet. So it's a struggle because

45
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't drive it very much. Because you do, but

46
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: you have time you jump. Okay, talk to me because

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't know much about cars. But is it an

48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: old truck? Is it a new truck? And you got

49
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: it jack that high? Yeah, I've always wanted to do it,

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: and I mean, I agree, if you want to do it,

51
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: do it. So it's so big. I think if I

52
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: had spent all this money and time, I would only

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: want to drive it. But I guess now you want

54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: to drive it. But then when you get home and

55
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: there's like a paint chip here, there's like a crack somewhere,

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm not driving this anymore. What about parking spots?

57
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be tough, not bad. No,

58
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: it's it's really not. It's just you have a picture

59
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, yeah, I guess I I'm picturing like

60
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: a big foot, like literal bigfoot. Oh, that thing's huge.

61
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: It's pretty big. Are those pink wheels? No, gold, it's

62
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: just it's all gold. So okay, let me ask a

63
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: couple of questions here. Then, how long you have the truck?

64
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: About a year probably? How long did it take to finish?

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: And did you are you the one that specialized? I

66
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: customized at all. I didn't do the work, but you

67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: from the beginning you said, I want this done, this,

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: done this. Well, I've built this truck in my head

69
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: for years. Man, if I get enough money, I'm gonna

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: build a truck like this. So I've had every color

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: picked out for like five years. So it took like

72
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: six months to build it though, And are you impatiently

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: waiting the whole time? Like, come on, come on, come on.

74
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: As I've grown older, I used to be really impatient

75
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: with things, and now I'm it'll get it's because I

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: get a patient. If I buy a pair of shoes

77
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: online and I'm like, all right here today, you just

78
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: spent six months building a truck. I would have been

79
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: so ready to drive that thing immediately. Well, oh I was.

80
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Every day. I was like, man, I wish my truck

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: was done. But you go through and you get calls

82
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: like you have, like two calls when we came in.

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: This happened. We gotta we gotta switch this or you know,

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: so after like four times of that happened, you're just like,

85
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you know what, just I want to stress myself out.

86
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: And now people know it's that truck is so known,

87
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I would assume a lot of people would even know

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: it's you because of your social media presence. I'd be

89
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: where people follow me home. We did have people follow

90
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: us to Red Lobster the night. Yeah, that'll be That's

91
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: what I'll be worried about that. And that's why I

92
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: never got a personalized license plate because I don't want

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: someone it would be like I hate that guy key

94
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: in my car or just people like, oh big shot,

95
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: got not you, but maybe looking at him driving that,

96
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: let's go let's go hast them a little bit. Yeah.

97
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: I've kind of just always had big trucks, so I

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: just thought it's part of my brand, and I've I've

99
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: always had big trucks. So nobody how much cost to

100
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: fill up hundred bucks, but it only gets me like

101
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty miles. I say, hundred bucks isn't

102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: bad for a truck, but when it only drives down

103
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: the road, yeah, that's pretty good. You can go to

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Walmart and back. Oh man, it's good to to see you,

105
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: good to talk to you. I was when I leave

106
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the radio station on music Row, because we'll work out

107
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: of here. Some will work out of their some. But

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: when I leave, I see your face on the big

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: sign I'm driving out, and I was like, what was

110
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: up with this kid? And so I just started researching

111
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. First congratulations, because you know, I'll look

112
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: a kid usually and look at just consumption. You know,

113
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't really have any. I don't care that much

114
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: about what gets put on the radio because I'm gonna

115
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: whole a whole bunch of stations. I don't I don't

116
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: really look. I shouldn't take care. I don't really look

117
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and try to affect radio stations. But I will look

118
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: and see, you know, who's streaming a lot, who's getting

119
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: played a lot that's new. You're killing it, man, really

120
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: cool like and and to be honest with you, I

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: did to you what people do to me when they

122
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: don't know who I am. And most people don't, but

123
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: they'll go my name will gets billed b O b B.

124
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: I have a unisex name. They'll think I'm a girl.

125
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: And I was like Bailey. I was like, man, she

126
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: must be killing it. And then I realized, oh that's

127
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: him with the unisex name. Do you ever get that?

128
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: Oh my whole life. I used to hate it so much.

129
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I was like, mom, why did you name me Bailey?

130
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: You know, why would you name me a girl's name?

131
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: But as I've gone over them, like, you know what,

132
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I've never met another I've never met another dude named Bailey,

133
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: So I'm at peace with it now. But oh yeah,

134
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: I'm a whole live It was like Bailey Lynn to

135
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: my middle name is Lynn. Didn't double enough the girl

136
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: and double it up, Like like, what what are you attributing?

137
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: Because obviously you give a big social media presence, but um,

138
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: what I read though, was you didn't start off to

139
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: a music on any sort of social media, like even TikTok.

140
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: You were just showing off truck trucks. Yeah, so let's

141
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: go back then, before music, you said I'm gonna get

142
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: on and did you plan to just do it for

143
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: like your small circle or did you go I got

144
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: some real I think truck people will follow me. I'm

145
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: going to create a brand here. So I started there's

146
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: this girl in my hometown as Walmart and she was

147
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: a cash here and she was like I was flirting

148
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: with her, and I was like, I'm gonna catch you

149
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: on TikTok because I posted one video and it did just,

150
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of thousand, and she was like,

151
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: you'll never hit ten thousand followers on TikTok. So I

152
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: just kind of got it in me. I was like, oh,

153
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. So I started. I built this truck.

154
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I started just filming it and stuff and putting sounds

155
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: behind it, and then ended up getting a lot of traction.

156
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: And then I got hooked on truck shows, so then

157
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: I started going yea, I took it from just like

158
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: building traction sen It's like, oh, I think I'm gonna

159
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: start going to these shows and maybe get some you know,

160
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: try to win trophies. And I got hooked on that

161
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: in two thousand nineteen and then just kept doing my

162
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: truck stuff. And then one day I had never sang before,

163
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: and I was wanting to get out of the pipeline

164
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: industry just because of not seeing family and being gone

165
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: so much, and so I was like, Okay, I'm gonna

166
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: start building trucks. That's a profession. And not only am

167
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I gonna post him, but I'm gonna build other people's trucks.

168
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: So me and my brother John started doing that, and

169
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: like three days into business, I tried singing just in

170
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the shop in the student named Gavin Lucas from the

171
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: same town I'm in. I was like, hey, man, I

172
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: think you've got a cool voice, and I write songs.

173
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: I can play guitar. Would you ever just want to

174
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: hang sometime? And I was like, yeah, man, I'll hang

175
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: some time. I've never really watched anybody play guitar and

176
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: sing at the same time. That's how it started. That's

177
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: how the start wholes thing started. Yeah, dear god, I've

178
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: never heard of it. More random, cooler oops, but awesome story.

179
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: It was very random. We we like jammed like three times,

180
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: and I was just so in awe of him playing

181
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: guitar and sing at the same time. He's like writing,

182
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: this guy can write songs. So one night we were

183
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: hanging and he said, hey, man, tonight we should try

184
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: to like really write a song and see if we

185
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: can write songs. So that was my first single, Never

186
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Coming Home. That night we wrote the first verse and

187
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: myn just like a weekend to hanging with Gavin and

188
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: we wrote the first verse and then posted it on

189
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: TikTok that night at like two AM, and I woke

190
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: up and I like, kid you not. I woke up

191
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: had almost two million views, a crazy amount of comments.

192
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: I called my union that I was in that I

193
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: pipelined with quit after one video in the next morning,

194
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: and you're already looking to get out, but listen when

195
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: there's not a paycheck coming. Yeah. Yeah. We were laid

196
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: off at the time and got it. I just felt like, man,

197
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna chase something, this is definitely something to chase.

198
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: You know, you might as well try it. But what's

199
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: funny is you're like, I'm if I'm gonna chase something,

200
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I guess it is this thing that just randomly popped

201
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: up a couple days ago. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, well man,

202
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: you did? You never sing as a kid. My mom

203
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: would always like tell me in the truck, like, oh,

204
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you should sing. I used to be able to sing

205
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: before I started smoking cigarettes. I used to be able

206
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: to sing and stuff, and I just always blew it

207
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: off because that's my mom, you know, So I always

208
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: just blew it off. And then over my life I've

209
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: had like three people tell me, Man, I think you

210
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: could sing, but but did you ever sing where people

211
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: can actually hear? You know? It all started like two

212
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: years from now or two years back from now. I

Speaker 1: Like what could it hurt if I tried singing? That's crazy.

227
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: You're like a kid who's walking by a ball field

232
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm so interested in your passion of car

233
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: trucks building when you because when you said to me,

234
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: when I got some money, I built the truck. I

235
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: figured it was when you got some money from either

236
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: stuff in social media, signing a deal, but it was

237
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: when you got some money. We saved up money from

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: like working a real job. So when I got some money,

239
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: I built my big truck, the one truck I had

240
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: no money. Dude. Two years ago, I couldn't like afford

241
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: my truck payment. I had no money. I was living

242
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: my mom, which I love my mom, but I was

243
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: like twenty almost twenty one living my mom, and I'm like,

244
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and what am I gonna do with my life? And

245
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: pipeline is not working out? So I had no money.

246
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: So I just budget built this truck. It was like

247
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: it was like painted. It wasn't that truck you're talking about.

248
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: That's the budget truck you built. This is a truck

249
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: you built. When you're like, Okay, I have some money

250
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: for being creative. Yeah, I thought, man, if what if

251
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: I just build the biggest truck, the biggest half ton

252
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: truck in America. What if I just build it and

253
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: then I try to brand me because my music isn't

254
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: very party. It's like super sad and feelings and like,

255
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm feeling. So I thought, man, but

256
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: I do want people that I can't know that I

257
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: have a good time too, So yeah, I'm not always

258
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240

259
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: I do have fun, And so I thought, man, I'll

260
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: build this huge truck and take it to truck shows

261
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: and maybe I can get my my fans to come

262
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: to these shows and see me that way as well.

263
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I'm kind of in awe of this story.

264
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: And I've heard all the stories. I've never heard one

265
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: quite like this. This is really cool. And you're you're going,

266
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: that's crazy. So you live with your mom at twenty,

267
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: you have no aspiration to be a performer. Yeah, it's

268
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: not that you didn't want to, you just didn't even

269
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: know that. What is the thing. I was living in

270
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: an eight hundred person town. You know, nobody ever makes

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: it out of there. So I thought, I mean, I'm

272
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: in competition with a billion people that are all trying

273
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: to do the same thing. Um, Louisville, Illinois. Where in

274
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: the state like very southern, so very southern, close to

275
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: like Mount Vernon, Effingham, Um, two hours from Champagne. Yeah,

276
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: three towns that I don't even know where they are,

277
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: and I tore, I tore a lot, but that's tougher,

278
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: so very like the bottom litd of tip thing there. Yep.

279
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: So if you go up to Champagne or Peoria, we're like, yeah, yeah,

280
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: three hours from Peoria South because minor league teams in

281
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: pe Okay, so you go, you got graduate high school? Yep,

282
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: you graduated high school. You finish high school. What kind

Speaker 1: of student are you? Terrible? Hated school, a failed, math failed,

284
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Yeah, if you're talking, I'm not

285
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like, O can't believe. Yeah that sucks. Yeah.

286
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: So okay, you graduated high school. And does your truck

287
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: fascination just generally come from your dad? You think it

288
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: comes from a dude in my town named Wade Pray, Sir.

289
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I saw his huge truck when I was uh thirteen,

290
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen going to school. Every day's man, one day

291
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: if I can make some money and be able to

292
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: build that, I would do that. So that's what I think.

293
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: That's where it all comes from. Did you have the

294
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: truck driver was a truck driver, Yeah, he hauled cars

295
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: and stuff. So did you learn about trucks and actually

296
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the functionality of them and how they work and how

297
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: to fix it from your dad at all? Yeah? Working

298
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: on motors. So it all started really with just like

299
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: anything with the motor. I loved going fast, so I

300
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: raced a lot of outdoor motocross um, you know, from

301
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: like fourteen to nineteen and twenty, and Dad and John

302
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: always built race cars and dirt cars and trucks. Whatever

303
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: they could build, if they could like work on it,

304
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: they in your yards. Something was being worked on. Our built.

305
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: There was chassiss and motors. So that's you know, that's

306
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: the early fascination to me, Even if you don't know,

307
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: you're fascinating. You're learning sometimes just because you're around it,

308
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: your dad's around it. But then you go next level

309
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: and you see somebody with a freaking awesome truck and

310
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: you're like, I know how to do this, but that's

311
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: what I want. That's that's so did you ever think

312
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: about racing like with that that is being a career. Um,

313
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to so bad, I really did. I love,

314
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, racing outdoors, and I always did love it,

315
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: but kind of the same thing. And that's even a

316
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: harder just industry to get into. You gotta be a

317
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: top five contender to even make a living. I hear

318
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: you saying that, Honest to god, I do and I

319
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: respect that. But what you're doing right now is just

320
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: as weird and odd and hard and and lightning in

321
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: a bottle and all. So when you're like, man, I

322
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: don't know about what do you do? You can do anything.

323
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Apparently you're nailing it. You can be a astronaut. Just

324
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: go do it. Yeah. I tell people that from the

325
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: last two years, I truly believe a person can do

326
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: anything and they ever want to do and they're like,

327
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing is impossible. You can anything. I just wasn't

328
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: very fast on it her bike. Is it still weird

329
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: to you? What's happening to you right now? Every day?

330
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Every day I wake up and I'd call my mom

331
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, Bobby Bones just asked me to

332
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: come be on a show. I'm blown away that you're

333
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: so normal. I'll be honest with you. I thought twenty two.

334
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: You're killing it right now. Sometimes you may not even

335
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: know how much you're killing it, but you're killing it.

340
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: somebody else may not. But there's just enough. But there's

343
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,400

406
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: how that works. Like I don't know how it works.

407
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: And he said and he said, uh, all right, man,

408
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: I'll I'll take off of work today. You take off too.

409
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: And I said, now, I dud I to quit and

410
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: he's like, you quit your job and I'm like, dude, no,

411
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: I'm for real, Gavin, like, I'm coming over to your

412
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: apartment in the next year. You're gonna quit your job.

413
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm already quit my job. So you're gonna

414
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: quit your job. We're you're gonna be a writer. I'm

415
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna be an artist. We're gonna do this. So we

416
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: got over there and we searched up recording studios, because

417
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I always thought you had to have a personal studio

418
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: to start off musical, and that's what it looks like

419
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: on TV anyway, is that they have to go into

420
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: a building in a room where all the big board

421
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: is the microphone. I thought the same thing, But then

422
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: you quickly learned what that It's just a lot of

423
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: home studios, And I thought, you legit. I had to

424
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: go buy speakers, I had to go buy all this gear.

425
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: I had to like produce my own stuff. So when

426
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: I learned that you didn't have to do that, I

427
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is way easier. This is a

428
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: lot easier, I think it is. So we went to Nashville,

429
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: cut the song. What's the drive to Nashville? Four hours? Okay,

430
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: so not that bad. We were doing it like two

431
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: or three times a week, man, gav when you cut

432
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: a salt, you drove to Nashville. Who did you find

433
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: somebody here with the home studio or yes, Sean Rodgers

434
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: had a home studio and I randomly, it's the weirdest thing.

435
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: I randomly got hooked up with him from a dude

436
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,320

456
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: don't have no more money. And so if you take

457
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: the song, though, do you load it up on the

458
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: digital DSPs? That kid? Okay? So you put it there

459
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: and then it goes up. Now that's a song you

460
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,320

Speaker 1: Or did you like, how do you let that crew?

463
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Because how many followers do you have now at this

464
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: point because of that song? I so I went from

Speaker 1: next morning, I had a hundred and forty thousand. So

467
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you went from the truck fan the people that were

468
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: fans of your work and and trucks, and you doubled

469
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,359

00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: these music folks too. Yeah, so how do you let

471
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: them know? I just, um, I just started doing TikTok's

472
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, hey, y'am, thank you so much

473
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: further support on this song. Um, I'm gonna try to

474
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: get it out. I really don't know how we do

475
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: that yet, but I'm trying to figure it out. So

476
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: just bear with me. And I was super just transparent

477
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: with him, and I just told them how it how

478
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: I was learning how songs were made and this and that,

479
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: and then I just told him, hey, I uploaded it

480
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: and now it's gonna be released this day. You guys

481
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: can stream it this day, And were you surprised? Relieved? What? Which?

482
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: When it started to really get some traction and that's

483
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: then on the you know, getting streams. So when it

484
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: started like streaming really well, we hit a million on

485
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: Apple and I called I called Gavin Mom into the

486
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: room and I'm like, is this good? Like is a million?

487
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: I think it was a million streams first week on Apple?

488
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: When I was like, is this good? How how do

489
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: I gauge this? Are we doing good? Is it not

490
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: making enough money? I had no idea. I had no

491
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: idea what anything was. I thought my management before I

492
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: signed with him, was a label. Oh no, that's that's

493
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: a comment. That's common. Yeah, same thing, label, management, agents,

494
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: all that crap to me. When I started to I

495
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: was like, wait, I thought, what do you do? Yeah,

496
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: you're telling me I can have a manager and a

497
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: label at the same time, and you're telling me I

498
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: gotta pay a manager and an agent. But I feel

499
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: like it's the same crap. Yes, yes, same thing. So

500
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: you are when did you get manage? When did they

501
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: come to the picture? Do they message you from seeing

502
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: you blow up online? Yeah? So Scott Frasier Um hit

503
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: me on on Instagram, and for some reason I responded.

504
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: I would have never responded because there's this long, huge

505
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: message with this weird looking guy with a bow tie

506
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: on and this profile picture, and I just thought, man,

507
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: this guy looks like a weirdo. But something is telling

508
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: me I need to like talk to him. So I

509
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: called him and I'm running through the airport and we

510
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: just had the best conversation, and he introduced me to

511
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: chief chiefs Rooke and Simon Tickman of the Core Entertainment

512
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: and that was I had already had a meeting with

513
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: Warner with Chris Lacy and I didn't know even what

514
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: it was. I didn't know what I was. I was

515
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: at this building just talking to a bunch of random

516
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: people about music. And then a month later I told

517
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: them all about it and they were like, wait a second,

518
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: You've been talking to Chris and you've been doing this

519
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like yeah, and they're like, we need to

520
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: manage you. So they like signed me. And then about

521
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: that was two months after Never Coming Home came out,

522
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: and then I think I signed my deals like a

523
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: month and a half after that or two months. Why

524
00:23:53,800 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: can you play someone Never Coming Home, and I got

525
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: iver coming Home. Oh no, Never Coming on. I figured, so,

526
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: what is the label when they meet with you and

527
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: they say, hey, we'd love to have you, I love

528
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: to sign you. What what's their pitch to you as

529
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: to why they'd be the right one. So when I

530
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: got with Warren, when I met with Warner for the

531
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: first time, it wasn't they The first question was do

532
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: you know why you're here? And I was like, no clue.

533
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fully transparent with y'all. Have no idea

534
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: who you are, who you are, I don't know what

535
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: this building is. And they were like, well, we're Warner Nashville,

536

605
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: I started going to shows when I was like eight

606
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: or ten. And when I went out to play Rock

607
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: the South, I just I was like, all right, I'm

608
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: just gonna do what I've seen other people do. So

609
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: like the very first thing, I'm running all the way

610
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: down the catwalk. I'm just a sprint as fast as

611
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I can, and that will get people's attention. Maybe, So literally,

612
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: very first thing was just like sprinted. And I've not

613
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: stopped every catwalk I've ever done. I just go and

614
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I just balls the walls all the way down and

615
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: then I just sit there and look. But playing these

616
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: shows for more than a people is insane. It's like,

617
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: truly something that I've never experienced in my whole life. No, truly, Yeah,

618
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: because truly you didn't do school like talent shows. You know,

619
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, oh I can sing, well, go play

620
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: for thousand people, five thousand people here, Like I mean

621
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: that's baptism by fire? Yeah? Do you have Did you

622
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: have fun doing it? A blast? I learned that to

623
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: sing you have to breathe. I Like, I got off

624
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: of Rock to South stage and I said, man, I

625
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: just don't feel good. I don't I just don't feel

626
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: like I can't breathe. I don't feel good. And then

627
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I ended up like Zoonkin in the camp. I just

628
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: passed out in the camp. Or so it was insanely fun,

629
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: insanely for on, like my my body has never felt that,

630
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: Like just I can run as much as I want,

631
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna tell me to shut up. I can scream

632
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: as long as I want. And after that, I was like,

633
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: I definitely want to do this more. But let's figure

634
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: out how to breathe. Let's get in shape, let's get

635
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: some cardio going. And it's really a thing. Yeah, And

636
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: if you don't breathe right, especially if you have songs

637
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: that are even the song we just played there, if

638
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of singing, you have to really measure

639
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: where you're going to breathe, or you miss it, you

640
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: don't get back to it until later, and they're catching

641
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: up the whole time. God awful. Yeah, So if you

642
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of figured it out basically, you know when you

643
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: have a second, take a breath. Yeah, Well the show

644
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: since then has progressed a lot. You know, We've got

645
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: like a like a break where I introduced the band

646
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: and it gives me just a second to like get

647
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: my heart right down, get my breathing. But when you

648
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: miss a breath, it's hard to catch it. You don't

649
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: you're not getting the back, there's no way because your

650
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: next breath is going to be as shorter than what

651
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be terrible and a really wordy

652
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: songs and you know, and also do a lot of

653
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: stand up and so really wordy situations. You have to

654
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: hit your exact points and then you miss it, and

655
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: when you do finally get your second point, you're trying

656
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: to make up for the first one, but you're never

657
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: caught up. But it's fun that you you've got a

658
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: band break because you learned quick. You learn. Yeah, one

659
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: night I just went boys singing gonna work, saying gonna work.

660
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: I I gotta, I gotta have something to breathe because

661
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: that last show is pretty rough. I need something to

662
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: get me through this second half. And I've learned. I

663
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: went from playing twenty five minutes with Luke at Rock

664
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: to South to now I can play our hour half

665
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: shows whatever in a year. And like, if you'd have

666
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: told me, you know, one year old me playing that show,

667
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: that's like dying in the camp, or like, hey man,

668
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: in a year, you're gonna be just fine the watch,

669
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: I would have been like, you're a liar. So I've

670
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: learned a lot. Listening to your music like rock and

671
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: a hard play that's like my vibe musically meaning you know,

672
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: you go. You know, I sing all these slow songs,

673
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: but that like songs that I can hear the words,

674
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: I can feel the words. I don't need a bunch

675
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: of tempo like that's that's my vibe. And even musnically,

676
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: even musically like what you have going personally for me,

677
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: like I love it, you know, I don't think, and

678
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I have to love something to act

679
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: to know why it's good. But like I really love

680
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: how you're doing it. I want to play rock and

681
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: a hard place right now, man's braves? Have you got

682
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: to be a better singer now? Because you have to

683
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: sing a lot more so you gotta take care of it.

684
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: But also, like tricks and you're working on a muscle,

685
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: are you getting better? Insanely better? Going? Uh? Looking back

686
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: at like demos from last year to Down'm like, yeah,

687
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: we gotta recut those vocals. I've I've learned just I've

688
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: been in a lot of um vocal lessons. I did

689
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: go through some voice stuff. Um right off the bat,

690
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: I was smoking a lot because I used to smoke vape,

691
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: and I smoking a lot and singing every single day.

692
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: I was you know, I was going out and having

693
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: dreams just because I was twenty one, and I learned

694
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: very quickly that you can't do that. It's not just

695
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: this like infamous thing that just has power all the time.

696
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: It's it's a muscle and you have to work it.

697
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: So I've went through the last year has been a

698
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: very um informational year. I've learned so much just about

699
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: how the voice works, things to preserve the voice, things

700
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: to do after a show, before a show. So you've

701
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: had to cram that's a great word for it. You've

702
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: had to cram it all that people learn it eight

703
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: all the way until now for a normal person who

704
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: grows up singing, you had to cram it all in

705
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: one year. Yeah, like all all of it, the physical

706
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: part of it, the mental part of it, to take

707
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: care of your voice. And so it's a it's a

708
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: crash course. Feel healthy right now, super healthy. I'm like

709
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: the healthiest I've been in a long time. Um. I've

710
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: been singing a lot here recently, and every day I

711
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: just I'll call chief with it, just cut another song.

712
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: And I feel amazing, man, Like I can't I can't

713
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: express how amazing I feel, you know, And that just

714
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: comes with the cardio and working hard. You know. So,

715
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: did you get nervous when tickets go on still that

716
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: people are gonna buy tickets or did you not think

717
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: about it at all? No? I didn't complete transparency. I

718
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: didn't even know that what what the dates were yet.

719
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: I didn't know like the routing or what was happening

720
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: with the tour. And then Scott called me and said, hey,

721
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: tickets went on twenty five minutes ago and you just

722
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: sold out six of the eight venues. And I'm like, well,

723
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: that's good, that'll work. Let's go that you that that

724
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: is good. Sold out is always good. So the stress

725
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: didn't even get to you because you were still learning

726
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: and you didn't know what you didn't learn yet. Yeah,

727
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: being being just thrown in the fire is honestly the

728
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: b It's like, can you swim? I don't know, Let

729
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: me jump in and see. So because then you're not

730
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: so focused on the little things. You're more focused on

731
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: let's keep living every day and let's make sure we're progressing.

732
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: And also what I what I like, what's happening to

733
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: If you don't know the rules, you don't always follow

734
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: the rules, and sometimes you can create your own rules.

735
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: And I've been able to do that micro a bit

736
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: where I would just be a dummy it's something and

737
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: be like I'm gonna I'm just gonna attack it for

738
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: writing a book or doing stand up and people like, well,

739
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: you have to write it like that, but I don't

740
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: know how to write it. So I did it my

741
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: own way. And so when it finally comes to life,

742
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: people like, oh, this is different, and I'm like, oh,

743
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: you're saying it's different. They said it was wrong, but

744
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: it is different. I didn't know how to do it,

745
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: and now it becomes kind of a standard. And I

746
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: can see that happening with you a bit where you

747
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: didn't know. But that's a strength for you because you

748
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: created your own lane. And so that's exciting as an

749
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: artist when you don't know all the rules because you

750
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: can create your own And with all these other Nashville folks, producers, writers,

751
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: they want you to be around them. I'm assuming like, hey,

752
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: uh get with this writer. Is that happening to you

753
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: now where they're trying to put your places? Um any

754
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: of these rooms you walk into and you're like, dang,

755
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,719

Speaker 1: So when did you pick it up? And how long

791
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,239

792
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: you could do more than g C d um. I

793
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: just honestly going into all the rights. Man, I watched

794
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: just every guitar player. I'd be like, man, that's a

795
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: cool chord. So I would watch every time he would

796
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: go to play that in progression, I'd be like, where's

797
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: his fingers? So then I would go home and I

798
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: would just find it, and then I would do different

799
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: variations of that chord to see yourself without even knowing

800
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: what it was, the same thing with just not knowing

801
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: the rules, you know, And even to this day, everybody's like, hey,

802
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: why do you think about guitar license? I'm like, you

803
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: know what, no, man, I've been doing everything my whole life,

804
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: whether it came to pipeline or building trucks or this

805
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: and that. I just did it my way because I

806
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,479
Speaker 1: didn't know how to do it. So I'm just gonna

807
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: keep doing it my way and I'm gonna figure it

808
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 1: out on my own. Do you feel pretty confident playing

809
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: in front of folks now with the guitar not on

810
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: stage yet, but playing good song? If they're like, hey,

811
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: can you play as a song? I'm like, yeah, I

812
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: can play a song. You know. I can make you

813
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: think I can play guitar. That's what I do too. Yeah,

814
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: Like I have people that are really good, but like

815
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: I like, I'm gonna do the Bluebird on Sunday night

816
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: because I have a couple of theater shows in town

817
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,040

818
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: on stage a couple of times because a lot of

819
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: myself comedy and you know, you can practice a song,

820
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: but if I don't tell jokes in front of people,

821
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're funny, because I can go

822
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: like I wrote, this is freaking funny, but if I

823
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: don't put it out in front of people and here

824
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,319

Speaker 1: the Bluebird, I'm gonna do it it by myself. But like you,

826
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: I gotta really pick this so long as that I'm

827
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: really comfortable with, because unless I got my people around me,

828

00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: He's awesome now, but that's that's really cool. So you

907
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: don't put Dave Grol up there though it's your top five.

908
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's so hard that Dave Girl would be

909
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: up there. He's such so many He's such an intense

910
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: positive energy. When he performs, he screams and I don't

911
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: want to throw that word screen around, but he screams

912
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: right on key. I mean, it's it's perfect. And I've

913
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: seen him nine times and it's always been one of

914
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: the greatest shows I've ever seen, every single time. Yeah,

915
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: have you seen him live? Never seen it? I've on

916
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: YouTube every day every single day. I just watched Dave

917
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Girl I've watched. I really like going back to like

918
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: the Nirvana days and watching Dave Young because I like,

919
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: look at him straight hair, long haired, goofy playing the

920
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: drug grunge, just really grunge, and I like, look back

921
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: at that, and I look at him and I go,

922
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: all right, what has he done from then to now

923
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: to better his life? Because if he was doing these

924
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: things twenty two probably shouldn't do those. What has he done?

925
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: He's a super big role model. Yeah, Like looking at

926
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: him through the phone, I just go, man, I would

927
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: be best friends with this guy. I feel like it's

928
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: interesting too, because you know, he's in Nirvana and he

929
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: is starting to do the food Food Fighters, but he's

930
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: doing it's all him. It's all just him. He created

931
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: all that himself, all the instruments, everything, and he talks

932
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: about you know, he gave it a show to Kurt

933
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: and Kurt's like, great, that's all you know? So um,

934
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: he had already been on that bit. And I think

935
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: at times, and obviously I'm way older than you, but

936
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: I grew up a massive Nirvana fan, massive Food Finders fan,

937
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: like that for me was when I was a kid kid.

938
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: And to watch him come out of Nirvana possibly one

939
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: of the top, depending on decade, top ten biggest rock

940
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: groups of all time because Navana made the whole night.

941
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: He's down there, the first one and for him to

942
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: go from something that big too something else that's massive

943
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: that really aren't connected. Yeah, he did it twice. He

944
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: did it twice, and I don't think, Yeah, I don't

945
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: think he gets the respect and he gets a lot

946
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: of respect, but I don't think he gets what he deserves.

947
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: I would argue, and it should be an interesting conversation

948
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: that he is right now America's biggest rock star. He's

949
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: a little older, But who would be a bigger rock

950
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: rock star than Dave girl meeting success, relevance, history, who's

951
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: an American rock star? Rolling Stones are still dead, so

952
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm not you can't there. They're not dead, They're still live.

953
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: But the British, right, and I'm counting the old people.

954
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: But once you get certain old, you're not even Cold

955
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: Plays a massive rock band that's still here. Not American

956
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: name a bigger American rock star. I don't think there

957
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: is Dave Grohl that. I think that's it. And he's

958
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 1: like the craziest part about him is he's never lost momentum.

959
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: He's always just been And they just put out another

960
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: record and it was it was massive again. Yeah, few

961
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: fighters just put another record up. Yeah, like a year ago,

962
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: or so oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean,

963
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: like just meaning they're their fifties and that's just and

964
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: it was relevant even then. So that's that's pretty cool

965
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: to hear your influences. And it's also pretty cool that

966
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: you're honest about him, you know. I like that. I

967
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: like that. I'm just a big fan. I'm a big

968
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: fan now even more so after spending time with you,

969
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: because like I enjoy what you're about. It's just all right, um,

970
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: this is presented itself. I really love it. I want

971
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: to work really hard to do it. And you don't

972
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: know the rules and that's great. And if you're gonna

973
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: get in trouble, you have people now that'll stop. If

974
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: we're getting trouble, I'm like, well, we can't do that,

975
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: but like that might put you in jail. But I

976
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: like what your mind was. I do want to play

977
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: fall in Love, Mike, if you could play that, please

978
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: to four radio right now. I'm starting to get a

979
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: little little let's go. Yeah, And that is a whole

980
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: different animal, meaning you have a lot of people are

981
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: gonna come to shows, but it's just a different kind

982
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: of and I say it, radio to me is radio.

983
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: It's satellite. It's anything where the mass population that is

984
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: not extremely tuned into the digital space where they just

985
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: hear things and then come fans of that's a that's

986
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: a game. The space you're going into now is a

987
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: game changer because you already got one on lock and

988
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: you keep putting stuff there. You're gonna hold that on

989
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: lock because of who you are and how good you are.

990
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: But man, you start to become just everywhere I want

991
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: you hit freaking radio. You can change somebody's like an

992
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: artist live so many tanks like ways. But if you

993
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: go to radio and you have a song do good

994
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: like people's aunts, then't know who you are. Random people's like,

995
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: oh I know, I've heard of Bailey. Oh yeah, And

996
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny talking about radio. Um small towns,

997
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: hometowns of artists. You're never like a big artist until

998
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: you're on like the highway, or until you're on you know,

999
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: someone can actually listen to in their car whatever it is.

1000
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: You're not big until then, you know. I saw him.

1001
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,479
Speaker 1: I was on the way to case Sas and hell

1002
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: he came on the radio. He must be getting pretty big,

1003
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: you know. So I've always thought it was so funny

1004
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: how you really nobody really knows like music industry unless

1005
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: you're really in it, you know. So radio is a

1006
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 1: weird thing that I'm still trying to learn. I'm still

1007
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: trying to understand it. So I don't think there's a

1008
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: thing to understand. I get gets the whole situation. Well, man,

1009
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: it's it's really cool. Like keep at it. I'm anxious

1010
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: to see how you just you just kill it, man,

1011
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: you know you came in. I was like, we'll see

1012
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: how this guy is it. Probably a diche bag and

1013
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not, You're just not. And um, I'm

1014
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: super pumped at that we were able to make this happen.

1015
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: I was with my manager just this is how, this

1016
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: is how it happened. I was with my manager and

1017
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: we were talking about just general consumption and he said,

1018
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: Bailey Zimmerman, um is like one or two this week.

1019
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: And I just heard it and whatever. People people are

1020
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: always telling me that things are good or things are

1021
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: not good, and so I was like, cool. So Mike,

1022
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: who's like my main guy here at my Preyers or

1023
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: my right hand guy and everything I do. I was like, hey,

1024
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: I know anything about it. I know who you were

1025
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: I was like, Bailey Zimmerman, what's the deal. Uh, apparently

1026
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: she's killing it. Like I said earlier, I said, she's

1027
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: killing it. And Mike goes, we're talking about sat Bailey

1028
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: Zimmerman because the one I know is not a she,

1074
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: bit of what has at times kept them centered either

1075
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: as a human or creatively and some times a little

1076
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,800
