21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm doing good now. I know

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: that vocals sometimes you gotta warm up, but I know

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: you haven't. You said, you haven't been spoken today except

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: to my pets. Yeah, so how do you How do

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: you talk to your pets? Well, it depends on if

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: it's the dog Optimus Prime. He gets asked who's my

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: best friend? And who's the best boy? And then I

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: have a cat named Loomis who's kind of a trashy individual.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: He likes to literally get into the trash um and him,

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: I just just tell him, Loomis, you're handsome. You're a

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: good giddy. I'm not really a cat person, or I

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: never was, but he's a really cool cat. You're not

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: a cat person, but you have a cat of two cats?

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: You have two cats? How did you end up with

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: a cat? I have a cat named Miller Lite. She

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: was found in the woods, too too small to be

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: away from her mother. And of course I wasn't gonna

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: let anything bad happened to that cat, so it's now

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: my cat. And then m Louis was kind of the

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: same way. He was in a situation where he was

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: old enough to get away from his mother, but wasn't

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: in a situation where he would be taking carefully and

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: so I was like, yeah, I'll take him. Well, I

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: need you to settle a big debate that we've had

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: on the show because I have a cat and I'm

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: a new cat mom. Yeah, and I recently gave my

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: cat a bath and it was pretty controversial on Instagram,

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Like people said I was idiotic for bathing my cat,

49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: but then other people were like, no, bathe your cat.

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: It's fine. So Ashley McBride, do you bathe your cats?

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: Louis loves to get in the sink and also loves

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: to jump in the shower while you're in there. He's

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: not afraid of water. And I don't know that I've

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: ever bathed Miller Lite because she really doesn't want to

55
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: have anything to do with anyone. But when I was younger,

56
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: when I was in college, I was a vetech and

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: that was one of my jobs was to bathe cats. Okay,

58
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: yeah it happens. Well, I love you have all this experience,

59
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: like I have a lot of who knew, Ashley Bride

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: it was a vet tech And now you've heard it here.

61
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: So if you thought bathing a cat was controversial, Ashley says, yes,

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it's a personal choice. Yes. So

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Ashley has a duet right now with Carly Pierce called

64
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Never Wanted to Be That Girl, and Ashley brought her

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: a guitar, so she's going to play a little bit

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: from that song and then also her song one Night Standards,

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: which we love. And obviously you know Ashley has an

68
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: amazing voice. If you don't know, then listen so you

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: can find out just how awesome she is. So, Ashley,

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: you've got your guitar here and you're about to play

71
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: never Wanted to Be That Girl for us, which you

72
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: wrote with Carly Pearce and Shane mcinally love them both.

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: If you had to give the elevator pitch for this song,

74
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: what would it be? Carly and I already admired and

75
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: respected each other, but our friendship was solidified overwriting this song.

76
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: The honesty it took to write this song was not

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: any small feat. So Carly was recently in here and

78
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: she talked about this song. So when you were writing

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: it together, how did you decide who would take that

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: role of putting it out there? We didn't really know,

81
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: but we knew that we you know, we kind of

82
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: started the song. You don't always get to start at

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the top left hand part of the page, and that's

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: where we started. Was We're just going to start with

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: a character and figure out how she meets the guy.

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: And then I think if we wrote it like March

87
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty second or something like that by May, you know,

88
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Carly was like, hey, I'm putting it on the record.

89
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's fantastic, and then she said

90
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: what day can you come sing? And then it was

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: even better because I got to be on the on

92
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: the record with her on this one. Um. But either

93
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: one of us could have put it. I mean we

94
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: both could put it on our records. UM, I'm really

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: am proud of this song. What about the reaction from fans?

96
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: What's that been like regarding the song? We haven't made

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: it part of our live show yet because we wanted

98
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: to make sure it was already you know, out and circulating. Um.

99
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: But like as far as people that I've played it for,

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: including some some radio friends while we've been out on

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: the road, UM, it has been kind of big guys,

102
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: but in a good way. Like out like who was

103
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: I with the other night? I forget we were we

104
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: were out on the road and they said, um, oh no,

105
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: Actually it was Carly and I were making the video

106
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: for this song, and the man that played the love

107
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: interest said, UM, I've been in this situation a lot

108
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: of times and it really reminds me of what a

109
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: you know, what a jerk I was, you know what

110
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: a crap sack I was. And I said, I'm hoping

111
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: this song heals a lot of people, but it would

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: be nice too if it was a side effect where

113
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: people go, I gotta stop doing this. Yeah yeah, I

114
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: mean yeah, it's so honest. Like you said, the honesty

115
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: of the song may bring up a lot for people, yeah,

116
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: which hopefully can be healing. Hopefully is a healing situation. Yes, yeah,

117
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: so I'm Ashley's got her guitar and she's gonna play

118
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: it for us. Now Here's never wanted to be that girl.

119
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: He helped me change a tireing a sitgull parking lot.

120
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: He said we both could use a beer, and I

121
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: sit hell Wanna started out as one night turned six

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: months just like that. He never ring on, so I

123
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: never thought it. But then last night I saw a

124
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: message on his phone, Shit, hey baby, what time I'm

125
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: you coming home. Never wanted to be that girl. I

126
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: never wanted to hate myself. I thought this kind of

127
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: lonely only happens to somebody else, and be any other

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: one when there's another one. God, this feels like how

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: I thought I knew who I was, But it's getting

130
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: hard to tell. I never wanted to be that girl. Ah. Thanks,

131
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: I should have drink more water this morning sounded great. Thanks.

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: So you're on tour right now with Luke Combs and

133
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: everyone listening can get tickets at Ashley McBride dot com

134
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: slash tour. And when you're out on the road, do

135
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: you have any pre show rituals that you do or

136
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: does it change depending on who you're on tour with

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: or something consistent hours the guys and myself and even crew.

138
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Instead of deciding really early on when we started touring

139
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: together what we would do, it just kind of developed.

140
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: So everybody has instead of a secret handshake, they all

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: have it's not even a secret. They have their own

142
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: special high five. And there's something that the tour manager

143
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: does too that has to do with fist pumping, but

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: we say a magic word. I don't know what everyone's

145
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: favorite vegetable is but it has to do with a vegetable.

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: But now I cannot get on the stage without touching

147
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: someone's fist. And even if they're not in my being

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: in a crew, but they're standing next to the stage,

149
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I have to touch their fist and say, taters, I

150
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: am terrified to get on a stage. And the other

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: thing that has developed this last year is my our

152
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: monitor tech and my guitar tech. His name is Drew,

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't have a secret high five or secret handshake.

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: So one day he handed me my guitar on my

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: way to the stage, and I hugged him, and he

156
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of congestion that day, so I kind

157
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: of pointed at his ear and asked her you okay,

158
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: and pointed out his nose and are you okay? So

159
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: now when I get on the stage, when I walk

160
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: past through, we have to hug and point out our

161
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: ear and point at our nose. And there was one

162
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: night where we didn't, and as many things as can

163
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong in a set went wrong. So I'm like,

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I know it's silly to be superstitious, but no, I

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: mean it works. It works, So I mean I do

166
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: the ears and the nose too, So what's the tater about?

167
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: One day my tour managers went taters and like was

168
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: going around like super you know, very energetic and nice

169
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: and cool vibes on a fist bump and we all

170
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: just started saying it back and now we just now

171
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: we did it. Now we can't not do it. And

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: then bless her heart, my glam girl, which I don't

173
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: want to just call glam people glam people. She's also

174
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: functions as like a best friend in a right arm.

175
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: But her responsibility is she has to do all of

176
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: the high fives plus ones that we've added along the years,

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: Like we added one for Lenny Wilson the first time

178
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: she opened for us. A friend of ours hurt his

179
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: arm one time, so that's another whole handshake of its own.

180
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: She has to do all of them too. Yeah, it's

181
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: a last heap out everybody in the bandon crew and

182
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: then the extra ones. So you mentioned like your glam

183
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: girl being like a best friend of starts especially, that's

184
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: awesome to have out on the road. What about women

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: that have come before you in country music, like a

186
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: mentor woman in the business that has maybe given you

187
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: some advice on what this life is like and I'm

188
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: sure there are some people that are getting tired of

189
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: me saying how great Miranda is. But we became friends,

190
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: and she's always been a really good resource for me

191
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: and a really good gut checker. But before Miranda was

192
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: my go to sounding board, Terry Clark had mentioned we

193
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: were at like an CMA after party or something, and

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: she said, if you ever need anything, even if it's

195
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning, call me and I'll answer

196
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: my phone. And I was on radio tour at the time,

197
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: and I did have to call her at three o'clock

198
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: in the morning, and she did answer her phone, and

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: she remains I mean, if I just have to even

200
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: complain or vent about something during the day, she remains

201
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: the person that I text it too. That's awesome. Do

202
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: you text or talk with any of your friends about

203
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: awesome TV shows that are out right now or get

204
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: any advice from them? And they're actually I don't really

205
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: get to check my Instagram inbox really because it just

206
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: kind of is weird and overwhelming. But there are a

207
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: couple of fans that that's the only messages they've ever sent.

208
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: Was like, if you've not seen you know, like Haunting

209
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: of Hillhouse, So I kind of go check that inbox

210
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: to find out what shows I should be watching next.

211
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what we do. It's even on

212
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: the Bobby Bones show. We like throw stuff out there

213
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: because we want to hear from people what are you watching?

214
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Because that's how we find out from friends, like if

215
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: we talk about something, we watch it, or what are

216
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: you watching right now? Right now? I just started because

217
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: I found out that the makers of Haunting of Hillhouse

218
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: and Haunting of Blind Man Or had a new series out.

219
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: It's called Midnight Mass on Netflix, So I just started that.

220
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: But on Hulu, I've I've been watching actually the current

221
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: season of American Horror Story. This sounds like I'm really dark. Yeah,

222
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: But also there's this really cool series with I'm starting

223
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy called Nine Perfect Strangers. And

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: I love to be the person who guesses, you know,

225
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: like the writer is leading you in a direction and

226
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: they want you to think this, but I like to

227
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: be the one that figures it out. It has done

228
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: such a good job of me going, I don't know

229
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: what's supposed to happen here. Yeah, so you're not done yet, Okay, Well,

230
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to Reina anything, but yeah, I mean

231
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: that show, I mean Aicole Kidman, She's just she's perfection, amazing.

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: I know, like just I don't even know Keith Urvan

233
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Lucky Sky ever because she's amazing. Yeah. What a cool couple.

234
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: Oh I know, Yeah, if we had to name like

235
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: coolest couples in Nashville, that's one of the coolest. Yeah. Sure,

236
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: ash she's got her guitar and she's going to perform

237
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: her song One Night's Standards. But before we get to that, Ashley,

238
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: you're nominated for three CMAS. You've got Female Vocalist of

239
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the Year, Single in Song of the Year for One

240
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: Night's Standards. So how does it feel to have three

241
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: nominations this year? Since no one can see my face

242
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: right now, it's it feels like this just kind of

243
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: high eyebrows and a big cheesy smile. It never gets

244
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: old to be nominated. And these categories are fantastic. And

245
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: when I look at the pictures, you know, it's Miranda

246
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: and Marin and Carly and me, Like this used to

247
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: be like Faith Hill and Sarah Evans, Like this is

248
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: the same categories that had the women in it that

249
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: made me want to sing country music, and now I'm

250
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: in the category and it's so cool and I love that,

251
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: and that's why women of iHeart country. That's what it's

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: all about. Here. We play like a lot of the

253
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: throwbacks we play on the current hits you're hearing on

254
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: the radio. We play new artists that you haven't probably

255
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: heard of yet, and I love that. It's just this

256
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: mixture of women. And that's what when you watch these

257
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: awards shows, you're they bring a lot of that back,

258
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: or you're you're inspired, Like you're here right now because

259
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: someone inspired. I'm here because Lorie Morgan made great records,

260
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: So I'm here because of course Riba always made great records.

261
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: I was the biggest Pam Chillas fan that you would

262
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: have You wouldn't have found anybody else that was that

263
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: knew more Pamtillas songs than me growing up, and that

264
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: it mattered. It's it's part of the reason I'm sitting

265
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: here holding a guitar. That's why we love to celebrate

266
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: all the women on this show. And let's say, you

267
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: know you have to prepare for winning. Are you the

268
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: type that's going to have a speech already written or

269
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: are you just gonna wing it. I like to do

270
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: things off the cuff. I'm a big fan of improv

271
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: and just saying whatever it is that's crossing your mind.

272
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: We can thank Dolly Parton for that influence in my life.

273
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: When she performs life, she just kind of says whatever.

274
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: The one thing that my publicist did ask me was

275
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: please try to stop using any profane words, because one

276
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: of one of them inevitably sneaks into whatever I'm saying

277
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: when it's off the cuff. So that's about as far

278
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: out as the thinking goes, because I don't want to

279
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: jinx anything again superstitious, but I just need to be like,

280
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: no bad words, no bad words, just like yes, keep

281
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: that mantra in your head. Yes. Now for One Night Standards,

282
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: what came first, the title or the lyrics? Definitely the

283
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: lyrics because we wrote it Nicolette and I started it

284
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: before we ever took it to Shane, and it was

285
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: called Airport Hotel. One Night Standards was nowhere on the map.

286
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: But we couldn't figure out how to get it to

287
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: hit right because you know, you hear you've got this

288
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: idea and you're like, okay, cool, we're gonna compare Love

289
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: to being in an airport hotel, like in this case,

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: is it convenient? Sure? Is it what you want? No?

291
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: But it's all right right, And we even had a

292
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: line that was like, I think the chorus originally was

293
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: this ain't something you want to spend a lot of

294
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: time in. I'm just crashing because I'm passing through. And

295
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: then the next line was like, it ain't what you

296
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: want it, but don't it kind of get you what

297
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: you need for a moment. It ain't good, but it'll do,

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: which was cool, but then we didn't have the next

299
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: line to get us to man a man i marm

300
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: on an airport hotel. So we took it to Shane

301
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: and he was like, there's nothing wrong with the song.

302
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: Let's just play it a little while, let's tell some stories,

303
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: let's figure out what we're really trying to say here.

304
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: And I said, well, you know, there's a reason, whether

305
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: it's an airport hotel or not, that hotel rooms have

306
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: two beds and one night stand because they're one night standards.

307
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: And he said, did you say standards And I said no,

308
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I said standards and he said no, you said standards,

309
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: You said one night standards And we all looked at

310
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: each other and we were like, oh crap, we just

311
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: fixed it. That's it. Yeah. So then we just went

312
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: back and looked at the verses and we're like, cool. Now,

313
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: all we have to do is tell the truth, Like

314
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: just be honest about you know, some stuff that might

315
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: make be uncomfortable for a minute. But again, if we're

316
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: on the healing side of it, you know, so we're not.

317
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting you go have a one night stand,

318
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying if you have, it's fine, and

319
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: if you're doue, that's fine too. Yeah. And you heard

320
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: a little teaser there because Ashley's got her guitar and

00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: Thanks y'all call good. You know what I just remembered

336
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: when we were writing that, Um, there was a Patty

337
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Loveless song that that exists that made it even easier

338
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: to write that song, which was, um, we ain't enough

339
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: then wrong, We've just been lonely too long, And that

340
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: was the influence for the line, Um, you can leave

341
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: all that down in the lobby. There's nothing wrong with

342
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: leading somebody. Yeah, how cool? Women are so cool? I'm

343

345
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: to I want to ask you about the accident in Montana. Yeah,

346
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of talking about it, you know, before the show started,

347
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, just what led to that? What got

348
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: you in the hospital? It was so Um Dana who's

349
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: my glam girl slash right arm? It was her birthday

350

Speaker 1: and her housemate from down here. She's from Missoula, so

351
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: like meet us in Missoula. Will do something for Danna's birthday.

352
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Let's go horseback riding. UM really really lovely family that

353
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: owns a really awesome ranch that that saddled up all

354
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: seven horses and we had a great time. It was

355
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: a really relaxed ride. There was no no one was

356
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: jumping over things, no one was acting a fool. But

357
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: we were about fifteen minutes from their barn, so they

358
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: know how the horses kind of yet when they're you know,

359
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back home. And the one I was

360
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: on got a little bit spooked and my stirrup was

361
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: just long enough that I lost my stirrup on the

362
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: right side. So I've been riding horses in my whole life,

363
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: So I stood up on the left stirrup and then

364
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: tried to reach down to grab her rain low enough

365
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: that I could turn her jaw to the side, which

366
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: would at least lower down, if not make her stop.

367
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: But instead of that happening, I hit the ground and

368
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: she was moving pretty quickly, and I don't know how

369
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: much but I'm allowed to talk about, but it knocked

370
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: me out I was out for a little while and

371
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: one of the ranchers, the wife of the of the couple,

372
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: as a physician and provided mouth to mouth and of

373
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: all the things you're not ever near in Montana anything,

374
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: you're not ever near anything. There was a hospital four

375
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: miles away and the EMTs got there within ten minutes,

376
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: so right, and so we did have to postpone some shows.

377
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, I hate to do that. It's going to

378
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: take a lot to postpone a show, but I couldn't

379
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: walk unassisted, so we had to wait until I could walk.

380
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: I think our first time back was was with Luke

381
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: and Eugene. So it's a forty five minute set and

382
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: they put stools on the stage at different areas so

383
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: that I could balance myself because when you have a

384
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: great three concussion you're really dizzy a lot of the time.

385
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: Just turning your head too fast can do that. And

386
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: my right leg just didn't want to take weight. And

387
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: we're still working on that with the ortho. But it

388
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: was just what a crazy accident of all the things

389
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: for me to fall off of a horse. Yeah, Because

390
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not an experienced horse writer, so I

391
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: would see that happening to maybe like me, but like

392
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: you said, you've been riding horses your whole life, and

393
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: it was one of those just a crazy all off

394
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: of a fast moving boat. Probably yeah, you know, like

395
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna catch me water skiing or doing anything

396
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: that goes very fast. And then of all things, I'm

397
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: just totally at home on this horse. And she got spooked.

398
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: It was not her fault, and I know I put

399
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: that in the post when he posted on socials. It

400
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: was there was nothing that the horse did wrong. She

401
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: was just doing what a horse does, and according to physics,

402
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: I had to go over on the left side. I mean,

403
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: I I personally haven't been to Montana yet, but it's

404
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: on my bucket list because I watched Yellowstone. Oh gosh, yes,

405
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: So do you watch it? Oh? Absolutely, And when anytime

406
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: a new season comes out, I start all the way

407
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: over at the beginning and then watch it through the

408
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: new season. Oh, I'm a pretty big fan. Okay, Montana

409
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: is beautiful. You will love it. Yeah. So, I mean,

410
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: now you have that that memory associated with it, but

411
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: I doubt it'll keep you from getting on a horse again.

412
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Or when John Ty texts me a few days later, um,

413
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: I don't have a munch memory. That was Wednesday, and

414
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't have much memory at all until the following Monday. Okay, um,

415
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: because I guess that's how concussions work. I don't know.

416
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm finding out, but he text me instead, I heard

417
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: things got a little ranchy, don't be afraid to get

418
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: back on the horse, and I was like, I will

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: definitely be getting back on that horse. Sounds like a

420
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: song and well, and my guys changed our walk on

421
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: music to Back in the Saddle by Hero Smith. It's hilarious.

422
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: Mean limping up onto the stage, it's really funny. But

423
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: um yeah, I don't not want to give advice out

424
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: very often, but if you are within earshot right now,

425
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: please avoid getting a concussion. It is the most in

426
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: opinion injury. Well, unfortunately, there's not much you can do

427
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: to prepared for that, but we're definitely glad that you're

428
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: okay and everyone listening right now. If you have a

429

431
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: the stage, but it's still a lot of fun. Yeah,
