6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: comes up now is I just spent a whole weekend

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: on the road with them. Russell was playing with the

8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Raging Idiots, and so we spent a bunch of time

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: on the road, but also hung out with Kaylee a

10
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: little bit on the road, and it reminded me of

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: this episode that I wanted to put back up. You know,

12
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,760

13
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: filmed and directed the music video for Yours. Russell talks

14
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: about how it took four years from when that song

15
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: was written to go number one. So here you go

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: were coming on? Literally no one, no, because we walked

Speaker 1: was like, where's the wedding planner and like right in

79
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: and so someone a bit advanced it. Yeah, I mean

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: we walked in just enough because I'm telling you I've

81

Speaker 1: we just love you, and you don't tell him you're coming,

84
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: and you go and have people like I don't know

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: who you are exactly, and it's a real humbling experience.

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: That happened once. That happened once in Phoenix. We were

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: staying in a hotel outside of Phoenix, I don't know what,

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: and we heard the rehearsal. She was walking down the

89
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: aisle to yours and so we were in the pool

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: like at this hotel and heard the rehearsal and we're like,

91
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: you gotta do it, you gotta crash. And you walked

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: in the door after the ceremony and they were like,

93
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: they're like and Russell was like, Hi, I'm Russellserson. That

94
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: was myself like things. There are two times where that

95
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: happens to me. That one. It's like that because there's

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: only like a small selection of people to give me

97
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: a crap, give a crap who I very small and

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm very loyal to them. But most people have no idea, right,

99
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm just a dork with big glasses. So without the glasses, yes,

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: So when you show up somewhere and you're like, I'm

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: actually doing this because I know somebody here cares I'm

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: and then they're like, yeah, we got no idea, bro.

103
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: The other one is when something like sometimes like people

118
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: it yet. Um. The first one is this is a

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago. I was playing the opera

120
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: at the Rhyme and you were playing too at night. Um,

121
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and so we were on the same thing together. But

122
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: I was walking back and if you ever just kind

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: of an insight tip, you're gonna go to the opera

124
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: at the Rheman, you can wait for all the artists

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: to show up behind the Rheman because we all have

126
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: to go through a backdoor. And so and I'm there.

127
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do some stand up and I think

128
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: I don't have a guitar with me or anything, and

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: so I'm going in and there's a lot of people

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: that know that, and they're just waiting and there would

131
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: take pictures and in a bit, there's a there's a

132
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: lot and it starts to be a little bit overwhelming,

133
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like an angel came

134
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: out of the guy. I was like, I'll take these pictures.

135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: And it was Kaylie standing there and she grabs everyone's

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: phone and it's like, okay, next sext sex sex And

137
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: this ushered me right into the door, and I was like,

138
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: thank you very much. And I left that experiencing like

139
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: did he know that was me? Or does he think

140
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: I was a fan? Like I know, I knew exactly

141
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: who was you know, I'm a fan, But I was like,

142
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: I left that experience, being like he might have thought

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I was one of the people just waiting for him.

144
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: I did not. And then we saw each other again upstairs.

145
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: But and then my second one is and I didn't

146
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: say anything about this on the radio, but I'm gonna saying, well,

147
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't know. Okay, So I saw at the airport.

148
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know where, I don't know. No, No, we

149
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: weren't at the airport. We were event that I live

150
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: in airport. So I feel okay, same, but I remember this, Um,

151
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: we we're at charity event. Did she tell you this?

152
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: I love it? And so I say, hey, you know

153
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: what's because I feel like I know Kaylie better than

154
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: you Russell at times, like we've spoken more than than

155
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: you and I have. And we're talking at this event

156
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: and she was like, hey, I was gonna go Russell's

157
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: playing a radio show and I was complaining about radio

158
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: shows in your honor, and I was like, I can't

159
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: you know what they barely get paid. It's like Tuesday night,

160
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm feeling I'm feeling bad for you. And

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, it's not so bad, and um, she

162
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: goes well, and I was gonna thinking about going. But

163
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: what I do is I reserve the Southwest because if

164
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: you fly, because my idea is my companion, right, my

165
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: go on Southwest, I can take him anytime I fly Southwest,

166
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I can put Mike on for free. She's yours, she goes,

167
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: you know. So I used the pass and I walked

168
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: all the way to the gate with him and then

169
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: I just don't go. It's all over again. I was like, yeah,

170
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I was like, you just took the seat if the

171
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: plane was sold out. So I laughed and then I

172
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: got and I thought about telling that story on the show,

173
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I felt like it was a good

174
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: private moment. And then then I heard and then I

175
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: don't know again, did you I've posted it because that

176
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, I thought when I heard my name,

177
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he's about to call me out

178
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: and say that I stole the seed on Southwest and

179
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: something in me. But you didn't mind me that you

180
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: were okay they talking about I'm like, if Southwest is

181
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: going to give me that but not let me. This

182
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: is my beef with with the companion pass, which you

183
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: may feel with me, which we're grateful Southwest that we

184
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: get to fly well, can we fly a lot giving

185
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: it to us for charity. Thing is they don't let

186
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: you board together. You're like Z three yes, and I

187
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280

188
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: plus plus are you and your boarding past? I'm sure

189
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: when you board is like beef ift two are like

190
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: it's at the way. I'm like, we're going to sit

191
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: together if we're companion pass, just let us sit together.

192
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: They won't do it. I don't know why did you

193
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: have to not write an article about this, because this

194
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: would be good you guys. What's interesting to me is

195
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: you guys worked together too. You don't because and I

196
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: didn't know that Kelly was a singer because I was

197
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: talking to her. She was like, you know, I did

198
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: vocals and because she just went to school together. Wait,

199
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,239
Speaker 1: let's start from the very beginning. You guys met in school. Yeah,

200
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: and like a singing class. Yeah, we have the same

201
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: vocal coach, voice teacher, and like you have these required

202
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: classes where it's legitimately you sit in the classroom, you

203
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: have someone play guitar or piano for you, you you stand

204
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: in front of the class and sing. That's terrifying. That's

205
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: why I don't sing anymore. But I mean for me,

206
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: that's literally that's radio tour, right, you know, so that

207
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: like prepped me for these like super awkward, sterile, fluorescent

208
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: light conference rooms with seven people looking at exactly and

209
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: looking like they could care less to be there. So that's,

210
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, that prepped me. But that that's where we met.

211
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: And we had the same vocal teacher. And I remember

212
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: who who sing first. I remember hearing him sing first

213
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: and he's saying it was in our classical class and

214
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: you're saying, oh yeah, and they made me sing low yeah,

215
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: like I thought you were saying a church on the

216
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Cumberland Road. I mean like like the old, yeah, the

217
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: old like And I was like, dang, that guy can sing.

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: And that's the first time I remember. Because we didn't

219
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: ever meet. Really, Everyone's always like somebo, do you guys

220
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: meet and we're like, we don't know. We were like

221
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: all friends of friends and she was dating somebody, I

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: was dating somebody, and it's just like all interwoven, slowly merging. Yeah,

223
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: and then we made out at a graduation party after

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: we'd broken up with Let's rewind for a second. You

225
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: hear him sing yeah, and do you hear her sing

226
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: like the same around. Yeah, who at that stage was

227
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: the better singer. It's always been him in classical though

228
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: like slash like musical theater, but that transitions into like

229
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: this little indie vibe that she's got. It's like incredible,

230
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: it's so good. But you didn't answer the question what

231
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: he Okay, I was better at classical. He was better

232
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: at um commercial, which is like his life, which is

233
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: a good thing that I'm like not going to go

234
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: on radio to classical classical. I'm going to say her

235
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: that's the right answer. Even if we can't you can't

236
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: prove it. And so you guys, you're in this class

237
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: and you have friends that mutual friends you guess, are

238
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: hanging out, and was it like, even though you're dating

239
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: other people, I'll just ask you where you like. Man,

240
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: she's cute. I don't have a girlfriend, but she's cute. Yeah,

241
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: well I was dicky, he didn't really have a girlfriend. Yeah,

242
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: it was like, but I would like ask her for advice,

243
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: like dating advice. But then like we would start hanging

244
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,280

Speaker 1: always get coffee or whatever while you were dating another girl. No,

246
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280

247
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: were dating. If you asked him, they weren't. It was

248
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of one of those they weren't. They were not serious.

249
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: They mean they were not to convince me, I believe it. No,

250
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to make sure he doesn't sound like, also,

290
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: I need to just kind of and we don't think

297
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: asking questions. Yeah, And so that was. That was one

298
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: month and I remember calling her on Thanksgiving Day and

304
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,160

308
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: just want you to know I'm thankful for you. And

309
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, well, like I needed and when

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: I say this, it is the smallest it's not even

311
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: like I needed to live the rock star road life.

312
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: You know. I literally made out with one girl and

313
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: that was I was just like, no, this isn't for me,

314
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: this whole this is a this is not a good

315
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: this is not fulfilling, you know what I mean. Like

316
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: literally I made out with one girl and I was like, yeah, okay,

317
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: this is I gotta call Kaylee. That whole deal from

318
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: back then, that pub deal didn't turn into all the

319
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: things we thought it was going to. Career wise, No,

320
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: you still would same publish company. Also, you're out of

321
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: all of that. Yeah. That was the first I signed

322
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven. That was a two year deal,

323
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: got dropped after two years. Um, and then that was

324
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen. And I didn't even write yours until

325
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen, and then I didn't sign a deal

326
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: till you haven't made that song and it's after two years. Huh. Yeah, Well,

327
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: what's kind of the genesis of your writing that song?

328
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: And it took a second for it to kind of happen. Yeah,

329
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: so you're right, like, just tell me about the So

330
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: the overall picture is January twenty something is when we

331
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: wrote it, and then January twenty something, literally almost to

332
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: the day. Four years later, four years is when it

333
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: went number one, So four years in between that was.

334
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: I had one offer for a publishing deal. We took it,

335
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: we had to, We had no just got married. I

336
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: got dropped the week we got back from our honeymoon.

337
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: So that was a great We made twelve tho dollars

338
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: that you combined. Yeah, so that was that was year

339
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: one of marriage. And then soeen we wrote it, and

340
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean we just we went all around town. Everybody

341
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: said no, all the majors, all the indies, every I

342
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: mean literally, were you were you chasing an artist deal

343
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: with that song? Were you also pitching the song? Well

344
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: so you want you wrote it? You're like, it's mine

345
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: on this hill? Yeah, the whole, the whole, this whole time,

346
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm an artist writer, you know, like

347
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: that was that was what I wanted to do. And

348
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, I was just like I we obviously

349
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: it and take no for an answer, but I just

350
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: put everything on this one song. I was like, I know,

351
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: I know that, I know that I know this is

352
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: a hit. And and it took i mean another two

353
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: years from writing it too to go to labels and

354
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: showcases and do the whole dance. And it wasn't until uh,

355
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: thirty Tigers slash now Triple Tigers. They've just started a

356
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: whole brand new label. And it was it was Norbert

357
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: Nicks who had just got to let go from Sony

358
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: and like Kevin Herring who just gotta let go from Warner.

359
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: It's all these guys who kind of, you know, related

360
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: to this, this like being rejected kind of mentality, like

361
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: a little chip on your shoulder a little bit, and

362
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: uh and it just all came together with this tiny

363
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: little label. I was the only artist on there and

364
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: they had me one song and that was that was

365
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: what really ignited. I mean, I I missed the whole

366
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: video part, but an industry wise, industry wise that that

367
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: was what what really like to took it. You know,

368
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: at what point because the label was a small independent label,

369
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: so it's it's difficult because they don't have the promotion

370
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: infrastructure right for for an independent that they just don't

371
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: have arms and fangs everywhere. So but at what point, though,

372
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: did you realize we actually have a shot with this thing,

373
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: Like this thing could actually be a massive hit. Like

374
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: what was it a number on the chart. Yeah, like,

375
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: were you hearing about research because it was also a

376
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: valid Oh dear god, I don't play. But then it

377
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: started jumping like it was only in the twenties. For

378
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: like three weeks, four weeks something like that. It was

379
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: like jump, two spots, jump, three spots jump, and then

380
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: it was in the teens and we were like, who woa, whoa, whoa,

381
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: what was happening? Did you do this song on any

382
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: any TV? On any anything on our favorite? Did it

383
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: seems like The Bachelor? Okay, I don't know this, but

384
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: it seems like this, this would be that kind of song,

385
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: big pop from that show. Absolutely, it was a couple,

386
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Rachel and Dean. Rachel, she was she was like bachelor.

387
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Dean was Geanie babies. Do you know Dean? Bachelor in Paradise?

388
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: He came back, I've never seen. I'm not the guy

389
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: to talking, but but I don't know Rachel. But was Okay,

390
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: So she's an attorney, she's smart, she's really cool. You

391
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: play this on the show, and it was ever on radio?

392
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure? Or no, no, it was on radio

393
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: and it jump because it was so hard. After that,

394
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: it jumped like tin spots on airplay and top top

395
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: of the iTunes charts. You know, just like craziness that

396
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: was that was a big jump when you played that

397
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: song on the show. You did it over and over again. Yeah,

398
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: it was that awkward too. Is are you just playing

Speaker 1: where we never had a tour bus before, but we

Speaker 1: and at that moment when you literally you have nothing,

494
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: when you have this one little spark that is what

495
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: you just like nurture and nurture and nurture and try

496
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: to try to get that into try to get a

497
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: little flame, try to get a little bigger flame. I

498
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: mean it's it's literally man, we we flew around the

499
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,880

00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: and just like keep it sep it alive. Yeah, like

505
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,679

Speaker 1: working this hard, this long because it was on the

531
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: chart for a long time. It was the Billboard set

532
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: a record first. Okay, the timeline in itself two thousand

533
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: fourteen when we wrote it, just to even get a

534
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,160

535
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,240

542
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: a top ten and we got some momentum for the

543
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: next one. And that's not how I work. Due I'm

Speaker 1: this goes all the way. I don't care. I'll do it. Seven. Yeah,

547
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm what are you three with a hard to wing? Okay,

548
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: so I'm eight with the three two two? Eight with

549
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: you go to two and growth hold on, Oh dude,

550
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: we'll be here all okay. You know who got me

551
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: out on his Dave Heywood into it. Yes, and Kelly

552
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: bought us all the books. It's a Haywood thing. They've

553
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: they love it. They love the iniogram. I had never

554
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: heard of it until Dave came in. It's been ten minutes.

555
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Ted talk to me about the indiagram. Yeah, I'm an

556
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: eight with two, so you can only go left. I go.

557
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I picked my own way, as an eight would. Yeah, yeah,

558
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: so I made my own. Mine was like the scent

559
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: whenever they tell you, yeah, so mine whatever that you're

560
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: a crazy scenario. That means you're really healthy because you

561
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: in eight. If you're truly innate, you go to two

562
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: and growth. What's to me? It's the help of um

563
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: that's not me. That's my lowest one. I'm three. I'm whatever,

564
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: the perfectionist. What's three my When you look up three,

565
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: it's not eased the achiever. That's what I am. A three. Okay,

566
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: that's where your highest two. I don't think that I

567
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: showed up as the two. They were like the one

568
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: umber the time. I don't think that's true. Because you

569
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: find people in the world and you're like, I believe

570
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: in you, I'm going to help you. I'm just telling you.

571
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: The score told me I too, didn't even register giving

572
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: yourself enough credit because every question was like who do

573
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: you believe? And I was like me, who else do

574
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: you believe in? Yeah? There you go? Yeah, so you go,

575
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: and I will I will concur with that. I mean,

576
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: because you find all these artists and you're like, I'm

577
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: going to give you a platform. I'm gonna help you

578
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: be hurt, you being really healthy. It's a challenger. Yeah.

579
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: Eight goes to two and growth in five. So when

580
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: you're stressed out, you investigate things, right, you google stuff.

581
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm doing that right now with you guys. Actually,

582
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm the eight. Okay, I'm an eight and you're an eight.

583
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a three. So you can only go left

584
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: or right in your wings. So like you can lean

585
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: towards what we do, you can clean, you can lean

586
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: towards seven and an optimist, or you can lean towards mediator.

587
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you lean towards seven. If I'm neither one

588
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: of those, neither, I just live. I built walls around

589
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: the eight, so I'm a three achiever. But then I

590
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: leaned towards two, which is the helper supportive advisors that

591
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: one says, Oh my gosh, there is that has never

592
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: been a more accurate description. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Well,

593
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm all I know is I saw the scores and

594
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: I was like eight, and yeah, make that makes total sense.

595
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: I can. And that's the thing that's the human a

596
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: little bit of yeah, it's yeah, not me. I'm straight

597
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: up seven? Are you? You're really optimistic? Optimistic, enthusiastic? Wow,

598
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: look at you. Every day is the best day of

599
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: his whole life. Literally, Wow, I don't. I mean that's

600
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, good for you. I struggle with that. He's yeah,

601
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't. It's I don't understand it is that like

602
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: I can get myself there, which I often do, like

603
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: I can find reasons, but are you? Is it just

604
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: a natural part of you where you just feel it

00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: he wakes up and he's like but other than that,

621
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: you're pretty much yeah, for the most part optimistic. When

622
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: the songs on top ten though, you felt it though,

623
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,200

00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: all the way. And so is it a slow week

627
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: week methodical climber? Does it kind of hit the top ten?

628

631
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,440

Speaker 1: I remember, like everybody, I had like all these interviews.

638
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it was like Billboard they wanted

639
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: to do a whole like number one interview, and like

640
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: because the debut number one is pretty crazy and and

641
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, they were I was on the phone with them.

00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: like it was cool that we were actually home to

644
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: wine on our little porch, because like we we didn't

645
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: want to take that for granted. This entire climb, like

646
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,320

647
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: with the songwriters, Like they came up, they came over,

648
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: and um, we had a top forty party. Every every

649
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: ten ten spots. We would just take a moment and

650
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: be like, you know, if this is as high as

651
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,400

Speaker 1: So it hits one. And now we're gonna rewind a

653
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,279

00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: looked up and I was like, wait a second. And

723
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: that's when I was like, oh my gosh, like I

724
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: really truly had no idea, Like the surprise factor was

725
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: you nailed it? You did? I was pulled it out

726
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: the ring. Oh that's not my story. So let's go

727
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: to the yours video. Yeah, you shot this for it

728
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: was inexpensive video, very about less than ten dollars, less

729
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: than ten almost half. Yeah, so tell me about that.

730
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: So again, we had been denied and denied and denied,

731
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: and it just got to the point where I was

732
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: so frustrated but also so hopeful, and I was like,

733
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: I know that, I know that, I know. Like I

734
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 1: listened to the radio, I hear these songs. I maybe

735
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: way off, but this sounds like a hit to me,

736
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: and I'm going to put everything on this song. So

737
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: a six dollars six I'm gonna put my life savings

738
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: on this song, honestly, and so and so we did,

739
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: and like she, we didn't. We didn't even really have

740
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: a plan. This was just supposed to be test footage.

741
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: We're just gonna like hopefully find a road that I

742
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: could just walk down. That's all I really had envisioned

743
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: for for the video. It was just like I'm just

744
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: gonna walk down this road. I'm gonna pour my heart

745
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: out to the camera and sing this song, and that's it,

746
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: Like see what happens. I had I had done music

747
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: videos and all of that through college. So when I

748
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: stopped loving performing. I started doing music videos and photo shoots,

749
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: and so I did his first I did all of

750
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: his photo shoots maybe except for one and then this

751
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: one is our friend Spencer did those, but other than that,

752
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: I did all of his stuff. And so I was like,

753
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: you know what, like because we had actually gone in

754
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: and it was the final no that we were like, okay,

755
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: well now we have to do this ourselves. No one's

756
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: going to help us. And I was like, I can

757
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: make music video. I did a music video for Nora Jones,

758
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: like let's do it. Yeah, she's over here. I was like,

759
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: let's let's just I don't know why we didn't think

760
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: of it us, and and so I was like, I'll

761
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: just do it myself. I can't hire anyone. We can't

762
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: afford to hire anyone. I'll just film it and I'll

763
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: edit it and I'll do the whole thing. And so

764
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: that day I was like, let's get in the car.

765
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: We had a friend living with us because he had

766
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: nowhere to go, and I was like, hey, will you

767
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: drive our car while I sit in the back with

768
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: our tripod? And so we found a road and as

769
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: we're leaving, he was like in workout clothes, and I

770
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: was like, I want to be sure that this like

771
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: could work if you like it, so put on like

772
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: real clothes. It was like test footage. I was like,

773
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: just put on real clothes. And we hop in the

774
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: car and the storm starts rolling in and I was like,

775
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. And

776
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: I had called a cinematographer friend of mine in l A.

777
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: And I was like, Hey, I just want to double

778
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: check my settings. I want to be sure I'm doing

779
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: this right. He didn't get back to me, and I

780
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: was like, all right, well, I hope this is right.

781
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: Get out there. This whole storm rolls and lightning, the

782
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: whole thing is real. Because we can't pay for c

783
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: G I like tornado warning. Ye are calling us to

784
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: come to our basement for shelter, and we're like out

785
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: in it. I'm stop calling us. And they would call

786
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: us in the middle because we were using our phone

787
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: as playback to the car speakers and so like it

788
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: was just like every time they called. It was just

789
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: like the most ghetto set up it was. And so

790
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: we finished and then it started pouring rain at the

791
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: very end, Like I was like, God, this is what

792
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: would be great. I need all these things, and then

793
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: when we're done, if it could rain, that would be

794
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: awesome and no joke, like we had everything we needed

795
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: and then it started pouring. And so then my friend

796
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: called me back as we're on our way back, and

797
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, my settings were this, this and that,

798
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: and he was like, I would have told you to

799
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: do exactly that, and I was like yes, And so

800
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: I got home started editing it, and then I had

801
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: to make it black and white because the tail lights

802
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: this is rich right here, the tail lights from the car.

803
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: When our buddy would hit the brakes, it would light

804
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: them up red, so like you could tell. Yeah, And

805
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: I was like, well, black and white it is a necessity.

806
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: Out of necessity, we couldn't have used anything. That's a

807
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: great story for that music video. Yeah. And so well

808
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: you finished school, what is your what do you finish school?

809
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: The degree and killing music music commercial voice performance? So

810
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: same yeah, same as me. But you didn't want to

811
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: be a performer anymore, or you didn't want to go

812
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: down that professionally anyway. Now I didn't. I moving to

813
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: Nashville made me realize, like what it would take and

814
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm such a family person and like want we want

815
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: to start our own family, and I just kind of

816
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: saw it as like, there's no way I could be

817
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: the kind of like mom, I'd want to be in

818
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: the future and do this, and some people do that

819
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: and good for them. I just was like, I don't

820
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: think I could do it. And I also wasn't passionate

821
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: like it would have. Just if someone were to tell

822
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: me I couldn't shoot a music video, I would be like,

823
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: you're wrong, I can't. I know I can. But if

824
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: someone told me I couldn't sing, I'd be like, maybe

825
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, Like I wasn't passionate enough to

826
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: be like listen to me saying I think it takes

827
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: the right kind of person to be good at it

828
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: and also not need to like proclaim it from the rooftops,

829
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: but people like still draw it out of you somehow.

830
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know you have that that it's not like

831
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: egotistical and it's not like listen to me saying I

832
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: just couldn't do it. If you were to like be

833
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: like saying from he right now, I would be like,

834
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:29,359

00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: did photography, You're going she supported our family. Yeah, I

858
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: did pictures of what I did, and I ended up

859
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: doing more video like weddings. This is a very niche market.

860
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: I did full time. I was a missions photographer for

861
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: two years out of college. So an organization out of

862
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: Dallas called Missions International would pay for me to go

863
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: and document their trips and I was on salary with them.

864
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: And then so when t R and Lauren went to adopt,

865
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Lauren was like, will you please come with us? Um, A,

866
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: I want you to be there, but be other people

867
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: want to document it and I don't know them, and

868
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: so she was like, you've done this, So um I

869
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: went with them, and then I did a lot of

870
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: album covers and kind of branding sort of things. And

871
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: then when he started to get really business busy and

872
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: being able to support us, I transitioned out of doing

873
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: other people's stuff and just did his stuff and went

874
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: on the road and did all his highlight videos from

875
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: the road. Oh don't just brush over this, this is

876
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: this deserves a moment. She let me just brag real quick.

877
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: She first of all, she was five older brothers. They

878
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: all played travel soccer and they drove all across America

879
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: in a van growing up. So when we got married,

880
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: she hopped in our van. She took the live photos

881
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: while we're playing. She sold the merch, set up the merch,

882
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: after designed the merch uh and then after the show

883
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: would take every meet and Greek photo until you know,

884
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: I mean there's like fifteen people per night. But I

885
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: mean she would shoot, tear down the merch, load the merch,

886
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like she was a road warrior,

887
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: throw the van and trailer, and I was pretty good

888
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: at why turning a trailer by the time I retired. Yeah,

889
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, like this woman just let me brag on

890
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: her for two seconds. She was warrior. So you have

891
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: it's an investment. So you're investing back into this nucleus. Yeah,

892
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: because again you have to pay somebody to do all

893
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: that stuff, right, because I mean money, money's money, however

894
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: it comes from, however it comes, money's money. So I

895
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: wasn't like making us money, but I was saving us

896
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: money absolute and I was like I can do that.

897
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: I can do that. That's the three in me. I'm like,

898
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: I can do it between the between the music video

899
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: and coming out on the road. I mean the the

900
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: jump start that the video had on my career and

901
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: then the countless dollars and hours that you saved. I mean, yeah,

902
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: it's not your not your typical. So what is your

903
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: official position with him? I don't know. I don't need one.

904
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: But if someone says, what do you do? What do

905
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: you say? I hate that question. Yeah, but that's the question.

906
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: That's the question. I say. I'm a touring wife now

907
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,640

923
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: Everyone question? No, because I didn't. I don't know. I didn't.

924
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to get that official official like I don't know.

925
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to have I didn't need the industries

926
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: like recognition of like oh, she manages Russell and I

927
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: almost didn't want that. Like when people call me a

928
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: white pitcher, it makes like I've never heard that term. Well,

929
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: I compared you to Sharon Osborne when I was talking

930
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: about you, okay, because she means she. I don't know she.

931
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: I don't think she's Aussie's main manager, but she definitely

932
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: she's involved. Yeah, and she may have been his manager,

933
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: Mike when you looked that up. But yeah, I compared

934
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: you to Sharon Osbald because she ran that Aussy was

935
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: the guy and he did the deal. She made sure

936
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: nobody nobody mess with Ausy. Yeah, for sure. I feel

937
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: like a gatekeeper to some extent, and like even when

938
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: it means like when people come backstage, if they do

939
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: or like because I'm monitoring his energy levels and like

940
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: because he'll go hard and yeah protoh he crashes And

941
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well yeah, because I go hard and

942
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: then and then zero you know what I mean. But

943
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't know there was We're it's such like a

944
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: family vibe with my team that to have her as

945
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: like an official anything would just feel we feel weird. Kaylie,

946
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: I told you five four and your six for works

947
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: for it's the whole foot. When I was doing math

948
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: real quick, I was like, whole, I don't want to mess.

949
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: That's my big shot to show my numbers, my skills

950
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: and numbers sharing she didn't manage them, and then started

951
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: the whole management company, started the whole companyeez um, you

952
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,919

00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: My fourth brother is a director in l A, went

955
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: to USC film school, did the whole thing and he

956
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: was the one directing. The reason I did in nor

957
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,800

958
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,719

Speaker 1: and he was like, I want you to film it,

961
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: and I had filmed a few things, but it was

962
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: like nothing officially. I had only done photos at that point,

963
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: and I was doing head shots because the musical theater

964
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: department's big at Belmont and I was doing head shots.

965
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: Was like my college money basically, and he was like,

966
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: I want you to film this and I was like,

967
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: I've never done that, and he was like, I trust

968
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 1: you an eye and I and he's like, I want

969
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: to fly you to New York and I want you

970
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: to film it. And I was like, okay, what are

971
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: we doing? And he was like, do you know who

972
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: Nora Jones is? And I was like yes, but like reminder,

973
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: I've never done this, and so he's like, no, I

974
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: believe in you. So I flew out there shot her

975
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: music video in her apartment and I got to meet

976
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: her and it was crazy. So then I moved back

977
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: to that went back to Belmont and everyone was like,

978
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: that's the girl that shot Nora Jones music video. So

979
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: then I got so much business and that was like NonStop.

980
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: But then when this music video was happening, we still

981
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: it was still a new label, young label, still didn't

982
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: have a real big budget, and I was like at

983
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: that point, I was like, I don't have to do it,

984
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: like someone else can come in, Like, let's see the treatments.

985
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: I saw the treatments and I was like I don't

986
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: love them, and um and then I saw the numbers

987
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my gosh, for this to

988
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: get pulled off, I still have to do it. And

989
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: so I called my brother and I was like, hey,

990
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: he lives in l A. And I was like, we

991
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: need to film this in California obviously, will you help me.

992
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: You can take the entire director percentage, which was like

993
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: not a lot, and he was like, yeah, I'll do it.

994
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: So we got to direct together again after all that time,

995
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: and it was just it was just a sweet, like

996
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: full circle bringing him in and we'll probably bring him in.

997
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: He's like a creative genius. But um, yeah, it was

998
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: just cool. Where were you in the song hit number one?

999
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: Where where we I think we were on the road.

1000
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: It's funny that we can't remember. I don't. I don't

1001
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: remember I was in waffle House for the most recent

1002
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: I was like, we're going to waffle house. Baby is

1003
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: the jam? I don't So my thing is I don't

1004
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: hear a lot of oddly I don't hear a lot

1005
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 1: of music because when I'm doing my show, we're playing

1006
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: like three songs. Now, we're talking the whole time, and

1007
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: we're only playing like and I don't pick them. I'll

1008
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: play new stuff that I like sometimes, but I don't

1009
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: pick the music because it's like we're on like a

1010
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty cities. They make sure the biggest three

1011
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: songs the rest. And so unless this song is like one,

1012
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: two or three or four, maybe five, I don't hear it.

1013
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: So when this song started hit top and I was like, oh,

1014
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: talk to Amy, I was like, what's the Russell song

1015
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: that I hear that like? But it was already in

1016
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: the top ten, and and then I mean, it's so good.

1017
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: I love it so but I again, I didn't hear

1018
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: it until the time. But I don't hear anything people

1019
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: like people always ask me you hear so much music?

1020
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't know your crap. Like I talk for a

1021
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: living and I have. I love music, and I love

1022
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of music, but I don't. And also my

1023
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: days of like just scouring for somebody on YouTube playing

1025
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just gonna ta be funny. I find

1026
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: people who I really believe, you know, I like take

1029
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: but this song is a jam. Um, I love that one.

1030
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: This song? Which one moved the fastest? For you? Blue

1033
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: the later like the forties was. Then my album came

1034
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: out like three years ago. Now you know, you lose

1035
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, you lose that initial steam from Yours to

1036
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: Blue to Come and then the third single was it

1037
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: was a grind. You had six or fifty people at

1038

Speaker 1: dad is a he's the music minister at Woodmont Baptist

1040
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: over here, and it's kind of so the venue was

1041
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: free at the church, and it was kind of like

1042
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: once you invite one, you invite them all kind of vibe.

1043
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: But we did like we just did like a cake's

1044
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: reception at the right immediately following the wedding, and then

1045
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: we had to people at our actual like family friends,

1046
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:15,759

1048
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: anyone at our wedding. You don't want to have to

1049
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: do the whole song, and right well that still didn't

1050
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: happen because there were six people. And but anyway, I

1051
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: want it. Definitely wanted something a little smaller, but here

1052
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: we are. How do you feel about girls who try

1053
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: to get it Russell during shows? I really don't care, honestly.

1054
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,440

1055
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: and are like I, and the girls who are like I.

Speaker 1: crazy bit be they know so many of them, like

1058
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: even if someone comments something on one of his things,

1059
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: like the droves of people who come out there like

Speaker 1: excuse me, do you know Kate, Like they just like

1063
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: in this like little red dress at the front of

Speaker 1: the stage. I was still out in the crowd at

1065
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: that point, and this girl came up to me and

1066
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: she was like, excuse me, I'm going to go say

1068
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: don't say anything, and she was like this is inappropriate,

1069
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Like everybody knows he's married, and if you don't know

1082
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: more in February. Are you doing any of the What

1083
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: is very vogue right now is the collaborations. Do you

1084
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: have any? It's very in right now, it's super in

1085
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: right now. Everybody's getting a collaboration. I know, and I don't.

1086
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean I don't have any as of now. Uh,

1087
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: I would love some. I haven't really. I feel like

1088
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: we'll get there once we get it. All recorded and out.

1089
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: Barbra Streisan, Oh what a classic? What a classic? Uh?

1090
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: Would you let him sing a love song with another girl? Yeah? Yeah, Um,

1091
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm always down for collapse. I'll do a whole

1092
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: edge hearing collab album. My prediction is you will have

1093
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: one by the time you feel you're only six songs totally. Yeah, absolutely,

1094
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: you'll have something. That's the thing. Now, how do you

1095
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: feel about that? Um? You know, I feel like I do.

1096
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: But everything a couple are really cool. Then if you

1097
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: come out and it's down the middle and then we

1098
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: start to burn on it and then we go to

1099
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: the next thing, it's it's everything is cyclical period in music,

1100
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: every art, it's not even music art, everything is so So,

1101
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: how do I feel about it? Great? Then medium? Then

1102
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: let's get over it? Right, I'm kind of over its. Well,

1103
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: you're in the business, so you're seeing it a lot more,

1104
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: and you're seeing it from the early early stages of

1105
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: the talks of it. The we're gonna recording this, and

1106
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: we've heard it yet it's actually out that forty two

1107
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: weeks before it even hits the chart, So we both

1108
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: I have to separate myself from what I know on

1109
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: the inside versus like what my people are hearing, which

1110
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: is one why I don't listen to new music from

1111
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: any of my friends ever until it comes out. Maybe

1112
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: two people ever while I be while I take their music,

1113
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: can listen to it um, because then I just don't

1114
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: feel the same. Even my favorite artist, I won't take

1115
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: their music because I want to be able to because

1116
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I represent all my people and so

1117
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be burned out on something before

1118
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: it even comes out, because it's not fair to them.

1119
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: So but I'm okay with it. There's some really good ones.

1120
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 1: Let's not do bad ones, but let's do a good one. Um,

1121
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: really good collaborations happening right now. Well, first of all,

1122
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: the and we'll go back in time for a second,

1123
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: but maybe let im back And that's the j It

1124
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: just was like boom the world just I remember once

1125
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: I was driving somewhere, I was flipping I was on

1126
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: satellite and I heard that song the first time, and

1127
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: I was like, that's that. That's like the greatest radio

1128
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: song I've heard in yours. I mean, I just heard

1129
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: it and I didn't know who it was on it,

1130
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know what didn't and I was just like,

1131
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: won't there is and so and then I think that

1132
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of line people up to go, oh we should

1133
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,480

1137
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: It can be Dan and Shaye and me. You know,

1138
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whatever they put out, it is going

1139
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: to be good. But this is this is a jam

Speaker 1: Russell got a collaboration you like right now, don't see?

1141
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,360

1229
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: the equation. Who's the one person that believed in you

1230
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: excluding her your career, in your career, who's the one

1231
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: person that you go Holy moly without them? I just

1232
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here. John Dennis, my manager, he signed

1233
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: me in two thousand ten. Uh. Yeah, he's the one

1234
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: who has steadily for a decade. Now, wow, that's weird.

1235
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: A decade has believed in me, signed me. I had nothing.

1236
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: He took me to every label all said no, you know,

1237
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: he didn't. He never gave up on me. And there

1238
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: was artists along the way that he would sign. Taking

1239
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: the labels they'd say, no, he he dropped, you know,

1240
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: but for some reason he always kept me around and

1241
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: would continue to to brainstorm with me. Um. We we

1242
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: started our own record label for yours and that was

1243
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: how we jumped started that. You know, we legally started

1244
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: a record label. We didn't have a you know, millions

1245
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,479
Speaker 1: of dollars, but we just he paid for your track

1246
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: to get fixed. Yeah. He always my Nissan Armada two

1247
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: thousand four that I would drive, Uh would break down,

1248
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: still drive it, it would break downs. He would, you know,

1249
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: pay for all that and eventually finally we recouped all that.

1250
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: Did you get him a Cristis present? This year? We

1251
