Speaker 1: This episode of Busting with the Boys. The Boys is
Speaker 1: presented by Barstool Sports.
Speaker 2: All Right, Riley, oh for one, you didn't clap. It's
Speaker 2: okay though, there you go ahead, you can go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yo, Hey, I'm fired up. Man. The Grandpa's never died.
Speaker 3: I wish Grandpa's never died.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was stoked number one saw that out. I was like,
Speaker 1: you lie, well because I heard the jam. I heard
Speaker 1: the tune and I loved it because I love my grandpa.
Speaker 2: Sure R.
Speaker 3: I p will Compton Sr. But uh and you know how,
Speaker 3: you know how I rocked that hat.
Speaker 1: If mama ain't happy and nobody happy, my grandpa's had
Speaker 1: so big Grandpa guy, so hearing that song obviously huge fan.
Speaker 3: Probably the best name for a song you can have.
Speaker 4: It's it's probably the most stereotypical country song out there.
Speaker 2: But agree to write the most stereotypical country song is
Speaker 2: probably the goal. That's that's gotta be it. I do
Speaker 2: remember the title I wrote down was my Green Daddy
Speaker 2: passed away. In February last year. I was in Vegas,
Speaker 2: found out, got on a plane, flew back to Nashville,
Speaker 2: and drove home. Got the Alabama like three in the
Speaker 2: morning and wrote the title down Wishcampo has never died.
Speaker 2: Really didn't write it for another couple of months, but
Speaker 2: I didn't want to write this song about my grandpa,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean about like us fishing and
Speaker 2: doing this and that whatever that's kind of been done before.
Speaker 2: So I just wrote a song that I thought was like,
Speaker 2: if I was having a conversation with the two of
Speaker 2: them today, what would they ask me? Like, Hey, man,
Speaker 2: what do you think about traveling the country? How's it been?
Speaker 2: What would you change about it? This, that and the other.
Speaker 2: And that was kind of the thing. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I apologize, Well, that's
Speaker 4: you know, that's that's part of it.
Speaker 2: You guys are obviously really close to close with all
Speaker 2: your family. Yeah, my whole family lives within about ten
Speaker 2: minutes of me in Alabama. So my grandmother, Lila Jean
Speaker 2: still lives at the bottom of the hill. My granny,
Speaker 2: my great grandmother, she was ninety eight, just passed away
Speaker 2: over Christmas. So, like, I grew up around my whole
Speaker 2: family and they had a lot of influence on me. Obviously.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. When do you get into country music? So
Speaker 2: did you play sports? I did. I played football, baseball,
Speaker 2: and basketball through high school and then I played football
Speaker 2: at j A issue for my couple of years at
Speaker 2: Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State. Yeah, he has just a powerhouse
Speaker 2: game cocks man, the game, Cocks the game the best
Speaker 2: one too. Yeah. We were pretty tough and we were
Speaker 2: a position. I was a quarterback. You could sing that
Speaker 2: piece or what I used to could throw it man
Speaker 2: back in the day. Yeah, were you big football is
Speaker 2: number one? Do you really I'm going to the NFL? No? No, no,
Speaker 2: you thought. No, I'm gonna play a little college ball
Speaker 2: and get out of here. That was one thing I
Speaker 2: learned about playing the little college football is there's no
Speaker 2: shortage of good athletes. Like that's something I didn't know about. Like,
Speaker 2: obviously we had some decent players in my region was
Speaker 2: high school, but like we got transferred from every Division
Speaker 2: one school every year. Like we would get some players
Speaker 2: in the fall that were high school graduates, and then
Speaker 2: the spring we would get a whole nother team. Because
Speaker 2: we were division in Double A, you didn't have to
Speaker 2: sit out a year to come to Jackson State. So
Speaker 2: guys that got in trouble or maybe didn't make grades
Speaker 2: or got injured or whatever it was would transfer to JSU.
Speaker 2: And that was Actually I was the starting quarterback in
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight and we signed Ryan Parlew off
Speaker 2: of LSU's national championship team. Oh those friends back up,
Speaker 2: you know. So he was obviously a lot better player
Speaker 2: than I was, but we we had that every year.
Speaker 2: And that was one thing I picked up as a man.
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of great players. Guys come in
Speaker 2: and out all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always think to myself because I was a
Speaker 4: guy that was almost ineligible. I ended up going to
Speaker 4: the University of Michigan, but I was this close to
Speaker 4: working construction the rest of my life. Like I was saying,
Speaker 4: no offense people working construction. That's a hard job. Same
Speaker 4: But it's like I always think to myself, like what
Speaker 4: about Like there's got to be so many athletes, for
Speaker 4: one reason or another, whether they get in trouble, don't
Speaker 4: have the grades that could easily be from an athletic
Speaker 4: standpoint in the NFL.
Speaker 2: But that just aren't without a doubt. And the other
Speaker 2: thing is and it you know, it was like linemen.
Speaker 2: We would have a lineman that wasn't six seven, he
Speaker 2: was six four. So you got that like Alabama's going
Speaker 2: to get the cream of the crop. Auburn. You know,
Speaker 2: we were competing against all those guys in recruiting, but
Speaker 2: you got guys that are just as good all player,
Speaker 2: but on paper, right, just didn't have that little fifty
Speaker 2: not three seventy five, you know whatever it is. So
Speaker 2: there's a lot of great ball players out there. And
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, the injury thing and then
Speaker 2: the grades and staying out of trouble is another big
Speaker 2: part of it. With all the eyeball players got on now.
Speaker 2: So it's a there's a lot of good ball players
Speaker 2: out there. I did learn that.
Speaker 1: Was there some guys that you played with that ultimately
Speaker 1: played in the NFL?
Speaker 2: Or Yeah, it was a guy named TJ. Heath from
Speaker 2: Alexandria that ended up going to NFL, and he was
Speaker 2: a great ballplayer. I saw a lot of guys that
Speaker 2: were like TJ that were great high school players and
Speaker 2: got to Jacksonville State and became really great ballplayers, you know.
Speaker 2: And there was a guy named Dwayne Talbert. There was
Speaker 2: a big old boy played defensive line, and he was
Speaker 2: a pretty good high school player at Jacksonville with me,
Speaker 2: got up there and just started working. And that's the
Speaker 2: thing is, you don't a lot of times, you don't
Speaker 2: have those coaches that are really going to push you
Speaker 2: like you do in college, because I mean, it's a job.
Speaker 2: You don't get paid for when you unless you're really good.
Speaker 2: You're expected to do your fitting and then get us right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly right.
Speaker 3: When'd you get in the music?
Speaker 2: Right around that time? My green Daddy Bufford was a
Speaker 2: big country music fan. He had a old guitar and
Speaker 2: I'd like sitting around and play with him. But as
Speaker 2: far as like doing it and going out and playing
Speaker 2: in bars, I was in college.
Speaker 3: So were you were the man then? Probably at Jacksonville State. Yeah,
Speaker 3: quarterback the only thing got the guitar.
Speaker 2: There and draw. Yeah, I'll tell you what, dude, But everybody,
Speaker 2: everybody talks like that down there.
Speaker 3: Boy, he's a good d lineman.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I probably got into it in college.
Speaker 2: You've been we've been out for five minutes. Is already
Speaker 2: making funny?
Speaker 4: Hey no, no, no, Probably to stand up for yourself on
Speaker 4: this podcast, I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, You're right. I'm always trying to stir
Speaker 2: up well a little bit that.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, dude, playing football so much, such a
Speaker 4: fun time and double D one double A. Didn't have
Speaker 4: the opportunity, didn't get recruited D one double A.
Speaker 2: But was the opportunity. Didn't have the opportunity to get
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 4: But I mean playing football with the boys is awesome
Speaker 4: and being from that area is pretty cool too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that was like a thirteenth grade for us.
Speaker 2: I went to Jacksonville High School, so I was right there.
Speaker 2: I had a couple opportunities to go play baseball at
Speaker 2: the smaller school here there. But just playing football in
Speaker 2: the same city that I grew up in, that was like,
Speaker 2: that was cool, your family coming all the games, signed
Speaker 2: in the Yeah, no, we I was just gonna say
Speaker 2: we played our home high school games in Jacksonville State
Speaker 2: Stadium for a long time. We didn't have a stadium. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I mean, like that's just that was home that
Speaker 2: Jacks will say it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were definitely the man.
Speaker 2: It was cool man swinging that thing around there.
Speaker 3: That's awesome where he grew up and everything to you.
Speaker 2: For Your grandfather's name is Bufort. Buford Green and Linden
Speaker 2: Bond's Beauford and Lola, Jean and Linden and Nancy. Dude,
Speaker 2: that's something out of a movie. I've got a Francis
Speaker 2: Higginbotham was an aunt. She called me a while ago earlier.
Speaker 2: Francis higginboth Yeah for Higginbotham, Higginbotham. Yeah, she called me
Speaker 2: to make sure the tornado didn't get me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you what, So, where do you live around?
Speaker 4: And you don't have to say specifics, but where do
Speaker 4: you live around? Nashville now, Juliet?
Speaker 2: Okay, So that it went through there? It did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a little bit north of me. It was
Speaker 2: on those set of forty for me, without giving the
Speaker 2: exact coordinates. Yeah, up, were you up last night? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: I saw the lightning was was kind of going crazy,
Speaker 2: so I went out and was watching for it. Power
Speaker 2: went out. Obviously my phone wasn't working, so I really didn't.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the same issue. A lot of people
Speaker 2: came in. I guess you didn't really know what was happening.
Speaker 2: Power goes out, you don't have one of those little
Speaker 2: radios or something or a way to keep up with it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, so it's a little scared. That's stuff's wild.
Speaker 4: I've never I grew up in Arizona, so there was
Speaker 4: never a thought of a tornado. And I went to
Speaker 4: Michigan said that already weird. But they had like a
Speaker 4: couple of tornado scares. But never did I ever think
Speaker 4: it was a big deal. I say that ignorantly now
Speaker 4: knowing that the damage it's caused. But it's I literally
Speaker 4: through the whole thing and it landed, you know, two
Speaker 4: three miles from where I live, and start just started going.
Speaker 2: But it was just I do you watch a Bachelor
Speaker 2: That's how we were going, now, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it was it was it was playing the Weather channel,
Speaker 3: just basically playing. It's like, well, I don't think it's
Speaker 3: gonna come.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not going to catch the show tonight. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what I know.
Speaker 4: I know that Bachelor show is ridiculous every sense of
Speaker 4: the word. But damn it, it really gets you going.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah it does. Do you make fun of it?
Speaker 2: I don't really know anything about it. I know what
Speaker 2: the premise is, but I've never watched enough of it
Speaker 2: to really.

Speaker 1: episode of The Bachelor was playing, and I was, I
Speaker 1: got I got it, I got sucked in.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell about how he's sitting and he watches
Speaker 2: The Bachelor. Hell yeah, who is used on this camera?
Speaker 2: He's got a pink robe on, right, people? If people
Speaker 2: sit like that watching The Bachelor like this? Has you

Speaker 1: He said, that's how But it went off, It went off,
Speaker 1: and then it was all the storm warnings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just a twick thing.
Speaker 4: If you guys want to go help people that have
Speaker 4: been affected by the tornado, you can go to our website.
Speaker 4: Go to Barstool's website. Yeah, purchased Nashville Strong T shirt.
Speaker 4: All proceeds go to the people that were affected by
Speaker 4: the tornado.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, back on the Bachelor though, all right, you know,
Speaker 4: so you obviously know who Chase Rice is I'm sure
Speaker 4: you guys have met before, and so there was did
Speaker 4: you hear about the situation of.
Speaker 2: Him and the ball There's something about he dated to
Speaker 2: girls on The Bachelor and then he was on the
Speaker 2: show or something, and there's been like a couple of
Speaker 2: things back and forth.
Speaker 4: And I don't want to put word and chase his
Speaker 4: mouth because that's not the kind of person I want
Speaker 4: to be. But I think he said something like they
Speaker 4: never they went on like add date, and like he
Speaker 4: didn't want her to go on the show or something
Speaker 4: like that, and she ended up going on the show. Well,
Speaker 4: the producers of The Bachelor set up a blind date,
Speaker 4: like they said it, like.
Speaker 2: They do dates, they do one on ones. There's twenty
Speaker 2: three girls and they slowly go down and then girls
Speaker 2: get a card with a date. They don't know who's going.
Speaker 4: So this Victoria girl ends up going on a date.
Speaker 4: You know exactly what I'm talking about right now, don't you. Yeah, back,
Speaker 4: let's get So these two go on a date and
Speaker 4: they go to what's that amusement park in uh In, Ohio.
Speaker 3: All the one with the point.
Speaker 4: So they go there and then there's a private concert
Speaker 4: with the country singer going there and this handsome, handsome
Speaker 4: bold with the beards getting after it, and she's like,
Speaker 4: holy shit, that's my fucking ex boyfriend right there. So
Speaker 4: that's and so it's they're on they're literally on stage
Speaker 4: and they're from you know, me to Alex.
Speaker 2: But they did it on purpose.
Speaker 1: They did it on purpose. Bachelor did but neither of
Speaker 1: them knew. Chase nor Victoria nobody knew the setup point.
Speaker 2: Wait, did the Bachelor guy that took her on a
Speaker 2: date know that they No, they had no idea.
Speaker 1: So she broke it to him at dinner later because
Speaker 1: he thinks he's the man, like, you know, I know
Speaker 1: you're loving this. And they're at dinner later that night
Speaker 1: and she, you know, starts crying a little bit, real dramatic,
Speaker 1: and then she's like, he uh, that's awkward.
Speaker 2: It is awkward. I actually I was watching. I just
Speaker 2: told you that I didn't want to watch The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Now you got me watching it. No, don't watch the Bachelor.
Speaker 4: They don't support us with the boys yet, no free shoutouts,
Speaker 4: but I will. I thought it was such a funny situation.
Speaker 4: I was sitting there and I texted Chase and I
Speaker 4: was like, like, is all this stuff true, I didn't
Speaker 4: get a text. I don't know what to think of
Speaker 4: the whole thing. But I'll tell you what I mean.
Speaker 4: I put my wife on that show. She thought it
Speaker 4: was She thought I was dumb. She says, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Why would you put people in the situation. The show
Speaker 4: is hilarious, it's kind of you just want to tune
Speaker 4: off for a little bit. It's it's awesome. I think
Speaker 4: it's hilarious. But people are fucked up, man, fucked up
Speaker 4: ship and when you go.
Speaker 2: We had a guy who was who was on The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: He like or the Bachelor wrette he won the show.
Speaker 2: They got engaged, and so if you win, you get married.
Speaker 2: You if you win, you get engaged and go to
Speaker 2: the It's crazy and go on Jimmy Fallon. Then you
Speaker 2: I'm sure you write a book or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Basically, it's a it's a git, it's
Speaker 2: a get popular fast scheme. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: There's different there's different varieties of celebrity, and I would
Speaker 4: say that's part of the lower tier on my list
Speaker 4: of reality TV celebrity. But the so so they break up,
Speaker 4: he comes in the show, and he's telling us that
Speaker 4: when you go on, you basically sign away your rights,
Speaker 4: Like they can depict you.
Speaker 2: In any way they want. They can make you look
Speaker 2: however you want. They can cut a scene where you're
Speaker 2: looking all mad or maybe just staring off in the distance,
Speaker 2: and then it shows them showing up just to cause
Speaker 2: drama on the show. Oh you know, I've lived it,
Speaker 2: not the Bachelor. I was on a reality show and
Speaker 2: see them t were you really? Yeah? It was called
Speaker 2: Redneck Island, Redneck. I can't I'm bringing this up. I'm
Speaker 2: usually like hoping people terrible homework.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, look, was on Reddneck Island Till you were
Speaker 1: a Winner, hosted by Stone Cold Well.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, if you all want to tell the story,
Speaker 2: I will. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if it was important enough to bring up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's important show. I was playing a show
Speaker 2: at the floor Obama during the Coast and some guy
Speaker 2: comes up during my set and he's like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: I'm a'm a castinated for the show on CMT is
Speaker 2: called Redneck Island. You'd be perfect for it. And I'm like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: whatever you know, dude's drunk, give him my phone number.
Speaker 2: He calls me from somebody calls him from LA. The
Speaker 2: next Monday, send over this contract and it is like,
Speaker 2: very plainly, like, can portray you in false light? Can
Speaker 2: do this that whatever. So I was like very skeptical
Speaker 2: about doing it. Now, obviously I was playing country music
Speaker 2: at time, so I was like, well, what an opportunity.
Speaker 2: The problem is, I've never seen anybody on a reality
Speaker 2: show and thought, oh my gosh, look how smart that
Speaker 2: guy is. Yeah, you know, they make it, but I look
Speaker 2: so cray. I'm with you always. There's always like if
Speaker 2: you watch enough shows, like there's one or two people
Speaker 2: there like you're rooting for, it's just hard to like
Speaker 2: a lot of people on there because they're I mean you,
Speaker 2: They just make it, make you look crazy. They want
Speaker 2: the drama. That's why it makes the show. So I
Speaker 2: was a little skeptical about doing it, but I figured, man,
Speaker 2: if they just mentioned I play and saying and some
Speaker 2: people watching it, you just need one one person believe you, right.
Speaker 2: So you know, I went on the show. I was
Speaker 2: super boring. I slept most of the time. And then
Speaker 2: one thing about it, if I don't went on the
Speaker 2: show when I was about twenty two. It had been
Speaker 2: all but I was like twenty seven, you know, like
Speaker 2: so I was I was pretty boring. I kind of
Speaker 2: got that little bit of craziness out of my system
Speaker 2: and everybody just like fought, drank, got hammered. But the
Speaker 2: competitions were pretty tough, like swimming, kayak and paddle board
Speaker 2: and like basically fighting in the pit at the end
Speaker 2: of the thing. So it was a it was pretty serious,
Speaker 2: but we ended up winning. Me and my partner was Becky,
Speaker 2: little girl from Louisiana, and uh, you know you won one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he won by sleeping through it. Slept through it and hibernated,
Speaker 2: hibernated the different that's a Bears deal. So what's the premise.
Speaker 2: What's the premise of the show. So that's the other thing.
Speaker 2: It's not like the real world where you're just in
Speaker 2: the house at him right there. Real world road, you
Speaker 2: on the left. I'm not on the right, if that's
Speaker 2: what you mean. I'm not the girl bikini on that
Speaker 2: r't you started? You started eating different man like you
Speaker 2: you're a little skinny there. He was a little more
Speaker 2: buffed up right now. Well, this is a smaller shirt.
Speaker 2: I was skinny. I weigh like one hundred and teenty
Speaker 2: five pound out of high school. What do you wear now? Ye? Two?
Speaker 4: Maybe right around two, I'll tell you what boy's been
Speaker 4: getting after it. Well, I don't mean anything by that.
Speaker 4: I'm not coming on to you or anything.
Speaker 2: Thanks. Unless you're interested, then we talk about it. But
Speaker 2: my wife will be mad. Okay, let's just so.
Speaker 3: Is it like Real World Rotary?
Speaker 2: It's like that. Yeah, the competitions are similar to that,
Speaker 2: and then they put a bunch of crazy people in
Speaker 2: the house together. So it's twenty four people, twelve guys,
Speaker 2: twelve girls, and we all compete and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: it's the drama's there. But it's just like one thing
Speaker 2: I saw because you when the show came on after
Speaker 2: we go sit around and watch it like my hometown.
Speaker 2: And that was fun because obviously I was there, but
Speaker 2: I didn't know what the hell was gonna be on
Speaker 2: the show, because you really don't know how they're gonna
Speaker 2: make you look, so like somebody would say one thing
Speaker 2: and then it would show me staring off like I'm
Speaker 2: mad at them, and they walk off and they would
Speaker 2: show them. But I wasn't even looking at them like
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, so they can do a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff up with the cameras there, and there's
Speaker 2: cameras everywhere on each twenty four to seven. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I never thought that you would get used to cameras
Speaker 2: being around. But when you wake up on day three
Speaker 2: and you go in there and you're eating cereal and
Speaker 2: there's a camera you face, you finally just get like,
Speaker 2: you don't need pay attention. This is it.
Speaker 4: I'd be so worried about making myselfling an asshole on
Speaker 4: those things. Yeah, something like an asshole on this.
Speaker 2: You'd be good at it. Yeah, you'd be entertaining. I
Speaker 2: don't know, I probably because they'd get to paint you.
Speaker 3: However, that's the thing.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'd get the probably get the shorten
Speaker 2: of the stick at the end of the day. So
Speaker 2: the other thing was like we would go film for
Speaker 2: three days and then we would do three days worth
Speaker 2: the interviews. So you know when you see them like
Speaker 2: sitting in front of a screen of some sort and
Speaker 2: they're like so this and they're like commentating their own life. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's done three days after it happened. When you got
Speaker 2: to talk about it like it's happening right then. So
Speaker 2: I'm like, so I'm walking into the room and this
Speaker 2: is what I see in that, and I mean it.
Speaker 2: It would take like three or four hours to go
Speaker 2: and catch up. She would have a script of like
Speaker 2: what all happened, you know, and some of them they
Speaker 2: would like get drunk before that. Really they would say
Speaker 2: like crazier things.
Speaker 1: I was curious about that too, because they're talking about
Speaker 1: the situations. I'm like, have they watched have they watched
Speaker 1: ahead of time?
Speaker 2: Some of their stuff?
Speaker 3: Are they just?
Speaker 2: But the lady will sit there and ask you, and
Speaker 2: she'll have a script if everything's happened and what she
Speaker 2: wants to talk about. But the other thing is they
Speaker 2: like when when they asked me to go to the show,
Speaker 2: they flew me to Atlanta and put me in a
Speaker 2: hotel with I assume everybody else took your room key,
Speaker 2: gave you like one hundred dollars per diem a day
Speaker 2: to get room service, and they would just bring you
Speaker 2: like a scantrawn of a thousand questions and you'd be like,
Speaker 2: my dad's a good person, true or false? The work
Speaker 2: of a library and interesting me true or falls like
Speaker 2: crazy stella. They could have just had one I'm crazy
Speaker 2: tru or false. Yeah, they asked a million questions and
Speaker 2: it's because they would do like psych evaluations and forge
Speaker 2: out what your personality was, so they knew that you
Speaker 2: were going to clash with this person in the house
Speaker 2: or that.
Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, what's the hardest thing I had to do
Speaker 4: in that show? Because it looked like they were doing something.
Speaker 4: They were like climbing up polls and shit, I don't
Speaker 4: this guy's falling.
Speaker 2: What's the other show? He's got like a skull aisle,
Speaker 2: broken skull ranks. Those are some men on there like
Speaker 2: fighting some stuff. They're getting after it and not things. This
Speaker 2: looks fun, yeah, but it was. It was tough. Like
Speaker 2: the the finale took several hours and it was literally
Speaker 2: swimming kayak and put a puzzle together. Like this thing
Speaker 2: right here in the pit is like literally a fight.
Speaker 3: Is this when somebody gets eliminated?
Speaker 2: It is so Yeah, if you lose a thing guy
Speaker 2: and guy groll against girls that was me in the
Speaker 2: yellow You win that one? I did? Yeah, he won
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Yeah here and I'm still alive. Things
Speaker 2: you can't lose in the pit. If you losing the pit.
Speaker 2: You're out. You're out. That's right. Damn dude, that's some
Speaker 2: serious ship.
Speaker 4: And so you're around all these people, these guys and
Speaker 4: girls all the time, people just hooking up left and right.
Speaker 2: Uh there was something going on. Uh I didn't. I
Speaker 2: didn't watch it or anything like fair enough. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: do it and I'm good. They would come get me,
Speaker 2: but Raley, get up, we need some be roller. You're
Speaker 2: doing something, Get up, just go and I'd go, like
Speaker 2: watch them have a food fight in the living rooms.
Speaker 2: Feel like and these guys are crazy. Go back to sleep.
Speaker 1: This episode of Busting with the Boys is brought to
Speaker 1: you by Whoop. If you guys don't follow me on IG,
Speaker 1: you know, if you guys follow me on IG, you
Speaker 1: guys know. I am obsessed with the Whoop and posting
Speaker 1: some data every now and then. It is honestly the
Speaker 1: best fitness tracker in the game.
Speaker 3: It you know. It allows you to put you in.
Speaker 1: An algorithm and gives you all these personalized insights on
Speaker 1: performance of your sleep, how recovered your body is, how
Speaker 1: much stress you put on your body? By showing you
Speaker 1: the strain you put on your body, throughout your day
Speaker 1: from workouts and normal stressors of life. It's got a
Speaker 1: little customized journal in there that you can swipe left
Speaker 1: and right customize out how you want answer certain questions
Speaker 1: quality of life, did you take anti inflammatories? Are you
Speaker 1: wearing blue light blockers? Did you stretch? Have you meditated?
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff that like puts puts all this
Speaker 1: data in and gives you a score, a ready score
Speaker 1: or recovery score every day, whether you're already in shape
Speaker 1: or looking towards being healthier. Whoop helps provide actionable insights
Speaker 1: that are personalized to you. What's great with whoop Every
Speaker 1: day you get up, you get the recovery score that
Speaker 1: I was telling you about based on your HRV, which
Speaker 1: is your heart rate variability you're resting heart rate and
Speaker 1: sleep performance from that previous night. That can be used
Speaker 1: as an indicator to how to approach your day training
Speaker 1: all of it. If say you know you have green
Speaker 1: recovery like above, I want to say like seventy percent,
Speaker 1: that's a sign that you can have a more intensive workout.
Speaker 3: But if it's red red, there's also yellow.
Speaker 1: But if it's red below one below like thirty, I
Speaker 1: believe that's a signal that you might want to take
Speaker 1: a rest day or an active recovery. On an active
Speaker 1: recovery day, you know, to get your HRV back up,
Speaker 1: to get your recovery back up. So it's really good shit, man.
Speaker 1: It even has built in features like a strain coach,
Speaker 1: which actually gives you target exertion goals for your workouts
Speaker 1: optimally for the level of your intensity. If you're not
Speaker 1: sure what type of training your body is ready for.
Speaker 1: This is an awesome feature to keep you from overtraining.
Speaker 1: So on days you get up you feel like you
Speaker 1: just feel shitty and you just you just don't feel
Speaker 1: right about working now, Like it's just like, man, it's
Speaker 1: been a long day.
Speaker 3: You might not know, but your HRV might.
Speaker 1: Be really fucking low, your recovery might be really low,
Speaker 1: and your WOOP would tell you that you need to
Speaker 1: take a recovery day, versus like, hey, you know, be
Speaker 1: tough of shit, get through it. Everybody feels this way.
Speaker 1: That's true, but also you could be smarter in your
Speaker 1: training and based on how strenuous for your day is.
Speaker 1: It has a built in sleep coach, which actually lets
Speaker 1: you know how much sleep you should be getting so
Speaker 1: you can wake up and be recovered based on your
Speaker 1: performance goals. For our listeners, Whoop is offering fifteen percent

Speaker 2: See a big sleeper, love it, love sleeping, big feah,
Speaker 2: big sleep base sleep ye.
Speaker 3: Big sleep guy.
Speaker 2: He used to give me hell when I was, like
Speaker 2: when I dropped out of college and I was doing construction,
Speaker 2: I would sleep all day and then work a little
Speaker 2: bit and afternoon, and he'd be like, man, you just
Speaker 2: sleep in your life way. But I'm like, I enjoy it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're living your best life. I used to said an
Speaker 2: alarm when I knew it had anything to do, so
Speaker 2: I could get up and have that field of going,
Speaker 2: I can go back to bed. Really yeah, like that's great.
Speaker 2: That's the best field the world. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: So you so you did this thing, help it all
Speaker 2: with your music career. I didn't notice anything directly. I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously I'm sure some people found me from that, but Uh.
Speaker 2: When I got back from the show, I just went
Speaker 2: back to playing clubs and it was kind of the
Speaker 2: same thing. He just kept kind of growing gradually, and
Speaker 2: I started writing songs and putting them out.
Speaker 1: And people start how hard is it to get in
Speaker 1: the music to make a splash in the music scene.
Speaker 2: It's tough. I mean, with all the things that I've
Speaker 2: got going on, I still feel like it's a ripple,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, and things have gone really well
Speaker 2: for me in the last couple of years, but it's
Speaker 2: just it's a tough business because there's so many people
Speaker 2: that are great. I mean, you can go to any
Speaker 2: bar you want to a Nashville of writers around and
Speaker 2: listen to guys play and sing that can sing better
Speaker 2: than I can. Yeah, you know, it's got great songs.
Speaker 2: It's just I was really fortunate that I played about
Speaker 2: every hole in the wall bar there was in Alabama,
Speaker 2: in Georgia, Mississippi, and people were having to watch me
Speaker 2: because they couldn't go anywhere else and get away from me.
Speaker 2: So like, I just got my name out there like that,
Speaker 2: and you know, they'd let me drink for free and
Speaker 2: pay me a couple hundred bucks every once in a while,
Speaker 2: So that was cool too. And when girls seem to like.
Speaker 4: It when you say you got so many things going on,
Speaker 4: like what other stuff? Like you're just constantly writing, constantly playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean writing is one of those things where
Speaker 2: you know, you obviously come in town, you schedule riots
Speaker 2: with other writers and you meet up. But I'm not
Speaker 2: in town a whole lot, so I'm bringing writers out
Speaker 2: on the road.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Obviously I wrote I Wish Grampa has never died by myself,
Speaker 2: So I write some songs on my own too, but
Speaker 2: on tour with Jason now Dan right now, my tour
Speaker 2: is kind of amongst that. You know, I'm playing a
Speaker 2: radio show tomorrow and San Antonio, so I mean there's
Speaker 2: just always stuff going on. You haven't we had a
Speaker 2: meeting today about what songs we're going to record, you know,
Speaker 2: did another radio interview this morning. So there's just a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff that I had no idea about that's
Speaker 2: kind of always going on. That's wild.
Speaker 1: And then like as you're as you're like getting bigger,
Speaker 1: and it's it's gradual. Does somebody like what is it,
Speaker 1: like a label or some company comes in and identifies
Speaker 1: you and like, hey, he's got something like, let's work
Speaker 1: with him and get him around our people.
Speaker 3: And you're kind of like, how, like, how does that
Speaker 3: all work?
Speaker 4: Like as you're growing, are you talking about like being
Speaker 4: categorized of what kind of country singer you should be?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Getting discovered?
Speaker 3: Yeah, once he gets discovered, are you like? Is it
Speaker 3: you just come along with this management company and then
Speaker 3: they pretty much put you, you know, their arm around
Speaker 3: you and you either sign aways. How does all that work?
Speaker 2: I think it's changed quite a bit because there are
Speaker 2: so many other ways to find music now because of Spotify.
Speaker 2: Because see, I'd put out twenty five thirty songs before
Speaker 2: I ever came to Nashville, but I was just recording
Speaker 2: them on my own and writing them on my own,
Speaker 2: and you know, they weren't great quality, but they were
Speaker 2: getting me followers. So that was me playing shows and
Speaker 2: putting on music. What helped me get attention to record labels.
Speaker 2: A lot of people will probably have done it in
Speaker 2: the past differently to where they come to Nashville meet
Speaker 2: a manager. I would say getting agent, because you're not
Speaker 2: going to be booked for shows if you're nobody, but
Speaker 2: a booking agent can leverage somebody else they have on
Speaker 2: their staff or another artist, say you want to take
Speaker 2: out so and so. Then once you let this person
Speaker 2: open for him, that kind of thing. So management would
Speaker 2: be a big part of it, a booking agent, and
Speaker 2: then beyond that, it would be them getting you in
Speaker 2: front of record labels. You know, if you're a really
Speaker 2: talented singer. I would imagine Christapleton could sign with the
Speaker 2: manager and go sit in front of any label in
Speaker 2: town and just blow them away with his vocals. I
Speaker 2: couldn't really do that because I wouldn't that kind of singer,
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of folks that are talented enough
Speaker 2: to do that kind of thing. Do you feel like,
Speaker 2: how do you feel about the direction touchy music's going
Speaker 2: right now? Because it's well, I mean it's I'm having
Speaker 2: some success one on the Charge number one song. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm at least I'm hopeful, you know. I mean guys
Speaker 2: like Luke Colmbs. I was a big fan of Luke
Speaker 2: and he's doing great. And he's definitely got that traditional sound.
Speaker 2: John Party's got a little bit of it. Eric Church
Speaker 2: have always thought it was cool, and he can do
Speaker 2: whatever the heck he wants. He's got to be the
Speaker 2: coolest guy out there. Yeah, so I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: there's it's definitely making a swing. I think country mu's
Speaker 2: always done that, always got a little you know, and
Speaker 2: this was the deal for a while, and the more
Speaker 2: pop sound was a lot more popular for a while.
Speaker 2: But I think people are getting to where they're wanting
Speaker 2: something that's I mean, look at the Tyler Childers and
Speaker 2: Sturgel Simpsons and stuff like that, where I don't know
Speaker 2: that that would have went over well five years ago,
Speaker 2: but now it's doing really well, you know, And the
Speaker 2: fact that I can have any type of career right
Speaker 2: now is a testament that people are enjoying something about
Speaker 2: a traditional sound and country.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all about what you're making, right, whatever your
Speaker 4: version is. I mean, as long as people listen to
Speaker 4: it's gonna work.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, they've got different names. They call
Speaker 2: it Americana or pop country or traditional country, whatever, but
Speaker 2: it's it's people writing songs and putting out music. And
Speaker 2: you know, some of it they play on country radio,
Speaker 2: some of they play on other stuff. Yep, no question.
Speaker 4: I mean, and I was I'm in Arizona right now
Speaker 4: and I'll put on country like a country station and
Speaker 4: it'll be like I won't hear a guitar the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll just be beats.
Speaker 4: And then the next song will be like Midland who
Speaker 4: plays like that old school in the eighties, Like that
Speaker 4: got that hard twang.
Speaker 2: You're almost making fun of it, like they're that close
Speaker 2: to making very close.
Speaker 4: So I mean, I like the different the variety that
Speaker 4: country music brings. We talked to Thomas Read a little
Speaker 4: bit about this, and I was, I have zero musical talent,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, does not matter at all, trust me.
Speaker 2: But like I was like, hey, vocals are nice.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. I appreciate that I can do. I
Speaker 4: can do a beast kept more. I think that's about it.
Speaker 4: But while I was talking about how like, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't like the way that the direction of country
Speaker 4: music is going, and I like all the beats and
Speaker 4: the pop, and then he kind of brought the idea
Speaker 4: of like well, Willie Nelson and Haggard and those guys,
Speaker 4: so they were outlaw country, and people were like, well,
Speaker 4: that's not real country.
Speaker 2: That's outlaw country. It's a way different.
Speaker 4: So it's constantly like evolving over and over, and I
Speaker 4: think one thing is from a popularity standpoint, totally contradicting myself,
Speaker 4: is going to those beats. Now, you know guys in
Speaker 4: the locker room who maybe just listen to rap, like, well,
Speaker 4: I do I like that song though. That's that's a
Speaker 4: good song. That's kind of transitioning over to where it's
Speaker 4: hitting a whole new demographic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's definitely opening up country music to a
Speaker 2: demographic that probably didn't listen to the country music because
Speaker 2: of that traditional sound, because of something that was missing
Speaker 2: in it, and the pop sound that's in country muic
Speaker 2: now is probably opening that door. My thing has always
Speaker 2: been like I hate to lose the storyteller important that
Speaker 2: was country mute to me. I mean, there's nothing about
Speaker 2: a George Jones song ninety percent of any way that
Speaker 2: made you want to get up and dance around the
Speaker 2: locker room. But it was something that made you feel
Speaker 2: a certain way, and it was something that kind of
Speaker 2: pulled on your heartstrings or whatever it was. So that
Speaker 2: part of the country music I hate to see us
Speaker 2: get away from. And what you're saying about listening to
Speaker 2: the radio and hearing no guitar for seven songs that
Speaker 2: bothers me a little bit, like, play it if it's
Speaker 2: if it's got variety in it. We're doing a little
Speaker 2: bit of this and that. That's fine because it's going
Speaker 2: to sway one way or other. But let's don't turn
Speaker 2: and run from traditional country music, right. I want it
Speaker 2: to be sprinkled in there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm it's part of it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like the blues, the blues have a certain format you
Speaker 4: have to go by it, and country music is not
Speaker 4: that like put into a box, but it's definitely there
Speaker 4: is like a there's like there's a Twain that needs
Speaker 4: to be there, there's that southern draw that needs to
Speaker 4: be there. There's that classic you know, talking about getting
Speaker 4: your heart broken, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll never forget. They asked me my first ACMs
Speaker 2: I went to, and I was, of course nobody at
Speaker 2: the time, but they asked me about Old Town Road,
Speaker 2: about if it was a country song. And I never
Speaker 2: heard it, luckily for me, because I might have had
Speaker 2: a different opinion. But I said, why, what's what's it about?
Speaker 2: And they said, well, you know this song goes take
Speaker 2: my Horse to the Old Town Road. I said, well,
Speaker 2: I think I think country music is about storytelling, and
Speaker 2: so if the horse is going on some type of journey,
Speaker 2: then maybe it's a country song. I don't haven't heard
Speaker 2: any of it, but that's That's about the only way
Speaker 2: I can describe country music plainly. You say, it's storytelling,
Speaker 2: That's what country music is. Me. I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: one country song.
Speaker 4: I have a daughter right now, and the song I
Speaker 4: think it's Kenny Chesney's There Goes my Life. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: the transition of being eighteen years old and knocking up
Speaker 4: a girl and like all my life's over, and then
Speaker 4: she goes to college and I'm sitting there in the
Speaker 4: car by myself starting to cry, look like shit, like
Speaker 4: this is where's my daughter?
Speaker 2: And find it? You know what I'm saying. It's just
Speaker 2: it makes you feel it, definitely, It definitely makes you
Speaker 2: feel it was you're a good old boy, like in
Speaker 2: the best way possible.
Speaker 3: I know, dude, I messed with his like telling stories.
Speaker 3: I rock with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you tell a good story? It's it's especially
Speaker 2: in music.
Speaker 1: How much would you say, since it's like fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: strains for a buy, how much would you say, Like
Speaker 1: Spotify and all these streaming services has changed kind of
Speaker 1: the landscape of country or change the landscape.
Speaker 2: Of I mean it's night and day, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: And I came up in the era of burn CDs.
Speaker 2: I was like, we would go what is it, bear, share, lime, wire,
Speaker 2: whatever it was when we go through computer aids, Yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly a million pop ups. Yeah, but that was how
Speaker 2: what we did. We went to burn CDs, and I
Speaker 2: mean I can remember buying CDs. That was probably when
Speaker 2: I was twelve, you know. Then it was burn CDs,
Speaker 2: and then it was download music to put on your iPod.
Speaker 2: And now you can literally go in there and you
Speaker 2: can listen to anything you want at anytime. And just
Speaker 2: it's the other side of that people probably don't realize
Speaker 2: is as an artist, I could go, or anybody you
Speaker 2: could go and write a song and record it tomorrow
Speaker 2: and put it out that anybody could find it. That's
Speaker 2: pretty crazy. I mean not to say that if you're nobody,
Speaker 2: everybody's going to see it, but if you write a
Speaker 2: great song and it gets in the right hands and
Speaker 2: gets bounced around a little bit, viral, going viral is
Speaker 2: a thing, and you can literally do that. It's like
Speaker 2: that you can get playlisted on Spotify or Amazon or
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and you can literally get heard by
Speaker 2: thousands or millions of people and be a nobody.
Speaker 3: Do you do you like that? You think that's a
Speaker 3: you think that's like a positive thing.
Speaker 2: For since got to be. I don't know that I
Speaker 2: would have signed a record deal if it wasn't for that.
Speaker 2: I really don't. I mean, I had I don't know
Speaker 2: how many millions of streams that I didn't even know
Speaker 2: I had before I signed a record deal. That's that's crazy.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't. I mean, I know a few
Speaker 2: thousand people in Jacksonville, Alabama, but I didn't know a
Speaker 2: million people. So it wasn't just my family doing it.
Speaker 2: You know, somebody found out about me. Family got a
Speaker 2: lot of cousins.
Speaker 4: It is, dude, that that social media has definitely played
Speaker 4: a huge part. It's probably helps a whole bunch of me.
Speaker 4: I just saw it popped up for a second with
Speaker 4: three and twenty three hundred and thirty two thousand followers.
Speaker 2: That's shipload of followers. I don't know that many people,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, No question, I only know sixteen
Speaker 2: hundred people. You know, sixteen hundred. I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 2: I probably don't know sixteen hundred. I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Who do you who? Yeah, you probably don't. I bet
Speaker 2: you on one of those. Some of them are probably
Speaker 2: pretty Yeah, that's probably probably you gotta chase him down.
Speaker 2: That's a whole new thing too, dating after that Redneck Island,
Speaker 2: I tell you, Yeah.

Speaker 3: I always I always wondered why the boys come in
Speaker 3: two hours early.
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, that's so much to work. What are they?
Speaker 4: What was your family thinking when they listened to this
Speaker 4: podcast hear us talking about porn.
Speaker 2: They probably will listen to it. Okay, probably disrespected on
Speaker 2: the bottom. Yeah, they'll probably watching The Bachelor. Hey, the
Speaker 2: battles in the first five minutes of this, and then
Speaker 2: go watch The Bachelor. I bet you watched that show once.
Speaker 2: I feel like I have now y'all filled me on
Speaker 2: this season.
Speaker 4: It's solid. There's three people left. Some girl from Knoxville
Speaker 4: is in it. She's a model, probably Instagram model, but I
Speaker 4: don't know. Maybe she'll be a French model, a French model.
Speaker 4: The show just type.
Speaker 2: Pornhub dot com says Fortnite.
Speaker 3: Stormy Daniels Fortnite four K, romantic trans Okay, Jesus outdoor tattoos.
Speaker 2: I can get on board with that. You have any tattoos,
Speaker 2: not tattooed guy, I don't like to have a problem
Speaker 2: with him. I just made it through the era of
Speaker 2: my mom would kick my butt if I got one
Speaker 2: and then didn't feel like I need one after that enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that too. I've never heard
Speaker 1: that logic, but yeah, my parents wouldn't have wanted me
Speaker 1: to get one the entire time I was, you know,
Speaker 1: in their household.
Speaker 4: My dad was always cool with me getting tattoos, but
Speaker 4: he never wanted me to get earrings, which I thought
Speaker 4: was such a ridiculous thing, as you can always take earrings.
Speaker 4: He's got like a thing that's cool, you know, do
Speaker 4: what you want. So here you can do this, but
Speaker 4: don't do this, all right.
Speaker 2: I got hearings once. I used to have gauges. I
Speaker 2: can I can see there. We just met. We just met.
Speaker 4: We were working on a foundation of fragment here, and
Speaker 4: I feel like you're really wavering back and forth.
Speaker 2: You're sizing me up on that seventy steam count. I'm
Speaker 2: just trying to picture you growing up and just tattooed
Speaker 2: up with the big gauge in yep, eight years old, tattooed.
Speaker 2: That's kill in my ear. I'll tell you I was
Speaker 2: a bad kid. I was a bad I was a bad,
Speaker 2: bad kid for a little bit.
Speaker 3: But then I thought one of those kids that picked
Speaker 3: up like use cigarette buds on it.
Speaker 2: You know, I used to do that. That's why you
Speaker 2: said it.
Speaker 3: We got to do this for the pod.
Speaker 4: Let me know that when I was when I was
Speaker 4: in eighth grade, I used to so freestyle motocross is
Speaker 4: my thing. I anything with an engine, I'm obsessed with it.
Speaker 2: Again, I used to watch Metal Militia. But again I
Speaker 2: closed the story.
Speaker 4: A thousand times, but I still would have guessed that, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: and so metal you know, do you ever ride dirt
Speaker 4: bikes or anything like that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, well something new to pick up because it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: So Metal Militia, Nitra Circus talking about Travis strowna twitch,
Speaker 4: those types of dudes and metal militia with like these
Speaker 4: the badass dudes.
Speaker 2: So I'd be like in eighth grade.
Speaker 4: I grew up in cath Creek, Arizona, a small town,
Speaker 4: and so I got to write my dirt bike everywhere.
Speaker 2: If the cops started to pull me over, just rip
Speaker 2: in the desert. You're gone.
Speaker 4: So I'd go to the gas station, the target, and
Speaker 4: I finally half smoked cigarettes.
Speaker 2: That smoked the cigarettes. I thought it was so cool.
Speaker 4: How disgusting is that? I used to wear my pants solo.
Speaker 4: If I wasn't wear an UNDERWEA could see my ass
Speaker 4: and goes, no, I wasn't a Dickey Jackie's Baan mar
Speaker 4: Jerras shirt. I mean that's with all that c k
Speaker 4: y and jackass like that was. I was a want
Speaker 4: to be that, okay, but I was.
Speaker 2: Terrible a running dirt bikes.
Speaker 3: I was no good.
Speaker 2: It was my thing though. It's how I grew up.
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the bueno music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, that's probably fair. When did it start
Speaker 1: to turn around for you? Like, when did it start
Speaker 1: to trend upwards fast? Uh?
Speaker 2: I wrote a song called Barry Me and Dixie about Alabama.
Speaker 2: I played it at some shows, and you know, I
Speaker 2: of course people with video stuff put on YouTube and
Speaker 2: it started to get a lot of traction. I wrote
Speaker 2: a song called Georgia Tom, and that was the second
Speaker 2: one that people started really singing at shows. When was
Speaker 2: this two thousand and I don't know, fifteen? Somewhere in there,
Speaker 2: I guess fifteen sixteen. I did a show with Luke
Speaker 2: colmbs borkho Zaydiko in Birmingham and Luke wasn't This is seventeen,
Speaker 2: probably Luke wasn't real big yet, and I didn't think
Speaker 2: anybody knew who I was or outside of my little county.
Speaker 2: And I went down there and open for him was
Speaker 2: sold out and people were singing my songs. So then
Speaker 2: I go back and I sell it out like two
Speaker 2: months later. And then two months after that, I go
Speaker 2: sell twelve hundred and sixty tickets at a place called
Speaker 2: Iron c in Birmingham and just had no clue people
Speaker 2: knew me. So then you fast forward me going to
Speaker 2: some new markets, people's word of mouth. I didn't have
Speaker 2: a book, an agent calling me to come play these places,
Speaker 2: and then I go play in Chicago at Joe's Barr
Speaker 2: five six hundred people show up. Big Machine Records was there.
Speaker 2: They offer me a record dealing the spot. Really yeah,
Speaker 2: so you take it yourself? Yeah, I mean I had
Speaker 2: my phone number on a little card. It was on
Speaker 2: the website. Really yeah, well house. The feeling was that
Speaker 2: when you're singing, that's what you're and these people are
Speaker 2: singing back this. It's crazy and that's got to be
Speaker 2: the coolest show is nuts. And I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: obviously you get some on the radio, and that's a
Speaker 2: fairly normal thing. You know, once when people start hearing
Speaker 2: your songs played, they know them. But back then it
Speaker 2: was so crazy to me because I was just surprised
Speaker 2: people were showing up, people knew who I was because
Speaker 2: there was really no reason for it. It was just
Speaker 2: what was going on was I'd put these songs out
Speaker 2: and people riding around letting their buddies listen to them
Speaker 2: in the truck. I mean, that's how it was spreading.
Speaker 3: And where are you putting them out at?
Speaker 2: Like I put everything on tune Core, which would send
Speaker 2: it to like everything we sended, like Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube,
Speaker 2: all that. I didn't really know what I was doing.
Speaker 2: I just ask around and that was you know what
Speaker 2: people said. They said CD Baby was one of them,
Speaker 2: Tune Corps one of them. So I did that one.
Speaker 2: And then I figured out, you like go on line
Speaker 2: and there's like a little account and I was getting
Speaker 2: money like for streams, and it kept getting bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2: So like this is cool man swimming houses during the week,
Speaker 2: making like five hundred dollars in the hot sun, and
Speaker 2: they'll make it on Friday night playing you know, so
Speaker 2: that's awesome. I'm gonna be rich. That's what I figured.
Speaker 1: I just basically word of mouth and doing your own
Speaker 1: research on the internet, and then you're plugging this stuff.
Speaker 2: On yeah, Because I mean I never came to Nashville
Speaker 2: and like played a showcase or like you know, got
Speaker 2: in front of the right people. People started they started
Speaker 2: coming to my shows. So it was really fan driven.
Speaker 2: So when when did you decide, like I got to
Speaker 2: get to Nashville. I'm big enough to go to Nashville.
Speaker 2: Now I didn't. I signed a publishing deal in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: like around March with the Warner Chapel. I signed my
Speaker 2: record deal with Big Machine the next week, and then
Speaker 2: Big Machine got me a place in midtown, and I
Speaker 2: went on the road on radio tour. Literally I just
Speaker 2: got done building my own house. I was still a
Speaker 2: home builder at the time. I built my house in Alabama,
Speaker 2: moved in in January of eighteen, signed a record deal
Speaker 2: in March, and I've stayed there like maybe two months
Speaker 2: in two years, so I've got a brand new hop.
Speaker 2: My mom was sending me pictures of furniture getting delivered there.
Speaker 3: Like that year.
Speaker 2: I went on the road for the first eight weeks
Speaker 2: in radio tour, didn't come home and it just continued.
Speaker 2: How often you get home now, you don't know? I
Speaker 2: mean I went home for we played in Knoxville the
Speaker 2: other day and I didn't have a ride home. So
Speaker 2: I bought it sixty six Mustang for a few thousand
Speaker 2: dollars from a guy. Broke down before I got out
Speaker 2: of town, and then it broke down when I got home,
Speaker 2: but I drove it. But now you have the frame
Speaker 2: of a sixty six Mustang fast back convertible. What is it?
Speaker 2: It's a hatchback? And is it like original? Everything original?
Speaker 2: Everything inside's perfect and it just got that straight six
Speaker 2: motor in it like it's it's it's bad. It's got
Speaker 2: a little bit of paint work and he's done, but
Speaker 2: it's short. I'll show you a picture sometimes, dude, car
Speaker 2: like those old cars that are kind of beat up.
Speaker 2: Got that Like, I wouldn't touch it. I mean, like
Speaker 2: the guys all you need to repainted whatever because of
Speaker 2: the trunk's got some paint coming off and it's got
Speaker 2: some little lines. But I love it. Just clear code it.
Speaker 2: If you clear coat it, it'll stay the same way
Speaker 2: it is. Well. See, I don't I'm not a showroom guy.
Speaker 2: I don't like showroom cars. I want to be able
Speaker 2: to drive it. Yeah, that's that's fair. I like it.
Speaker 4: I like it like I'm big into like the rat
Speaker 4: rod kind of rusted out looking looking trucks and cars,
Speaker 4: and I'm a big Mustang guy.
Speaker 2: I had that.
Speaker 4: I had sixty seven g T five hundred and it,
Speaker 4: I mean it was like brand new. Everything inside was
Speaker 4: brand new, and I drove it maybe fifty times.
Speaker 2: In two years. It broke down so many times. My
Speaker 2: my first truck was a sixty eight Ford Bronco and
Speaker 2: I still got it. Really I sold it. I was broken.
Speaker 2: Broncs are the coolest sitis They're so awesome.
Speaker 1: Love it.
Speaker 2: And I'm always like getting on Craigslist at Facebook Marketplace
Speaker 2: when I'm going to shows and finding cars, Like I
Speaker 2: bought a couple of Jeeps last year when I was
Speaker 2: on tour with Paisley. I bought a nineteen eighty five
Speaker 2: Christo Libarion convertible with wood panel sideing on. It's bad ass,
Speaker 2: it's special. You can see the front tire like if
Speaker 2: I turned and it was raining, my feet will get wet.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, it's rusted out bad, but it's all that's
Speaker 2: to me. That's way cooler than buying like like guys

Speaker 2: when I was growing up, I was more into sports.
Speaker 2: I didn't really do a lot of hunting. My dad
Speaker 2: never hunted. He was always always worked. He built houses
Speaker 2: whole life, never care anything about it. And I've gotten
Speaker 2: him into it now. Obviously he's gone on a couple
Speaker 2: of trips. This deary killed Mississippi this year. But I'm
Speaker 2: doing that for a different reason because I enjoyed it
Speaker 2: so much now and I want to buy a farm
Speaker 2: and have him retire and take care of it. You know,
Speaker 2: he needs a project because he's always wide open. He
Speaker 2: he got that from my grandmother. They're just like she
Speaker 2: weed eats in like one hundred degree weather. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Gotta do something, yeah, man, always gotta do it. I
Speaker 2: didn't get that. Like, I don't mind sitting on but
Speaker 2: these people are. You've made it very clear on this
Speaker 2: podcast that you like to sleep. That's one thing I
Speaker 2: want to get across everybody. Yeah, this man loves naps. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't have kids if you won't. Now, I think that
Speaker 2: I think that it was a little bit of the
Speaker 2: competitiveness and sports that made me take a look and
Speaker 2: to hunt as much as I did. Because you and
Speaker 2: your buddies are like, oh man, how'd you do today?
Speaker 2: You know? So I was like, and you're like strategizing,
Speaker 2: knowing how to go out and like where to get
Speaker 2: and you know, sneaking up on a turkey or whatever
Speaker 2: it's calling something you can get better at. So and
Speaker 2: staying in the camp with your boys, Like, yeah, man's
Speaker 2: there's a million things about hunting that I think people
Speaker 2: that haven't every hundred don't understand that they would they
Speaker 2: would enjoy it, like going with the camaraderie of hanging
Speaker 2: out with due at a hunting camp, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. Like, I've gone on some of my best
Speaker 2: hunt trips are not shot. I think we just had
Speaker 2: a good time. I had a fun time.
Speaker 4: I've been deer hunting two times and I have a
Speaker 4: d D really bad and I caught myself after twenty
Speaker 4: five minutes following a butterfly with my scope and then
Speaker 4: I was like this, I don't know if I deal.
Speaker 2: It's hard to hunt when you're worried about what's going
Speaker 2: to happen on The Bachelor that night. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: tough deal, but someone's got to stand down here for dark. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no doubt.
Speaker 4: And Hulu comes out tonight if you guys want to
Speaker 4: watch it, because we missed the last night because of
Speaker 4: the tornado warnings. So if you want to jump on,
Speaker 4: it's the women tell all times.
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta take a nap. You could take
Speaker 2: a nap, I thought. I think that's called going to bed.
Speaker 2: It'll be about that time, alarm, handsome hours, that good time. Hey,
Speaker 2: have you ever duck hunting? So okay, I was going
Speaker 2: to say, I do want a bird hunt? Okay, so
Speaker 2: you you'd enjoy that. You need to be quiet, you
Speaker 2: talk to your buddies, goof off. It's different. That sounds
Speaker 2: like a really good time. Dude. There's the boy. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Thomas has never been and he asked me to take
Speaker 2: him this year, and I didn't really know him all
Speaker 2: that well. He reached out to me to be my
Speaker 2: awards and man like I'd like to go hunting with you.
Speaker 2: So I carried him down there and he was He
Speaker 2: was cool and he's a good hang. He's definitely a
Speaker 2: really talented songwriter, music guy. You know. One thing about
Speaker 2: him is he's from Georgia. I mean, he's a country
Speaker 2: as anybody. You know, bull dogs shout out the boy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Thomas is a good dude.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I've been around him a few times. He's a really
Speaker 2: good guy, good person, family man. So I've written with
Speaker 2: his dad several times, but never never been around Thomas
Speaker 2: so much. I guess he'll do something together in the future,
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, we've actually done a lot of
Speaker 2: talking about it. That's awesome. I'm excited to see what
Speaker 2: happens from that. What about Fuck? I had something else
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you. Do you want to get
Speaker 2: married someday? I have kids?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What do you think you're dating somebody? Now? No, that's
Speaker 2: too crazy right now. I couldn't imagine. I had to
Speaker 2: give my dog away. Guess how heartbreaking was that? I
Speaker 2: saw it the other day? She remember me, Sadie, Oh,
Speaker 2: no worries my yell lab. I trained hers. She used
Speaker 2: my duck dog and uh, I gave her to my
Speaker 2: little cousin. His dog got ran over, and it was
Speaker 2: just when I was traveling. This has taken the dog
Speaker 2: history taking a turn. Yeah, so you know there's that,
Speaker 2: but uh, I can't imagine. And the travel and distraction
Speaker 2: of what's going on with me right now would be
Speaker 2: pretty tough to keep a girl happy. No doubt the
Speaker 2: dog remembered you, though, did Yes. Great feeling was that
Speaker 2: I was up on top of me and my dad
Speaker 2: were building a gym in my barn, and I was
Speaker 2: up on top and she came running in there and
Speaker 2: I said, you said, what were you building a gym? Dude?
Speaker 2: What can't you do build houses? Well, the same houses
Speaker 2: in the barn, I guess so, uh, But I said
Speaker 2: something to her. She started whining, trying to climb the
Speaker 2: ladder to get up there, like she was fired up.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's badass man. You ever want to get
Speaker 2: into the dog, Yeah, but I'll have to be in
Speaker 2: a place by chwaa oh. I know that they're good
Speaker 2: for watching the Bachelor, like lap dog. I'll tell you

Speaker 3: Do not lie?
Speaker 2: You just said you go to writers rounds all the time.
Speaker 2: What do you mean I don't. They all have like
Speaker 2: writers on the bus. But he writes like, I write
Speaker 2: all my own songs. I'm a writer on everything. I've
Speaker 2: written everything. You everything, You are a writer and everything
Speaker 2: you written, But you're not the like you didn't write
Speaker 2: the entire thing. So I'm not disrespecting that's that's part
Speaker 2: of that's part of music. Am I right? If you
Speaker 2: you're just he just looks to the left. Who's doing
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody talking to you over there? You're saying a
Speaker 2: weird thing, like like I'm like, okay, y'all write it?
Speaker 2: And then I come like, no, it's like we go
Speaker 2: sit down me and you and we write a song.
Speaker 2: We wrote that song. Yeah. Now some of them write
Speaker 2: by myself. Sure, some of them are write with other people. Okay,
Speaker 2: But but to say that, but to say that I
Speaker 2: didn't right, sound you're gonna write a song. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what.
Speaker 3: I'll I guess what I call Riley? Or we're going
Speaker 3: to write a song.
Speaker 2: That was a good little deal there. Yeah, it worked
Speaker 2: out good. I'll tell you. I don't like how it's thinks.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: What's what's the best advice Riley has for someone completely
Speaker 1: new to songwriting?
Speaker 2: Well? Perfect, Uh. I would just say to not be
Speaker 2: too critical. I think that a lot of new artists
Speaker 2: probably worry about whether this song is good enough for
Speaker 2: that and I didn't. And granted I probably put out
Speaker 2: a lot of songs that are not all that great,
Speaker 2: but I put out a lot of songs because I
Speaker 2: didn't really worry about it. I just wrote stuff that
Speaker 2: I knew about and i'd go play it and if
Speaker 2: somebody liked it, I'd go record it. And it helped
Speaker 2: me gain a following. So I was like, right, write
Speaker 2: every day. Write down stuff he thinks not any good.
Speaker 2: Write down stuff you think is good. And you know,
Speaker 2: I mean something in there is going to resonate with somebody,
Speaker 2: you know. And the other thing is, don't model your
Speaker 2: songwriting after what you hear on the radio, let after
Speaker 2: what people relate to what you're shows. What I did
Speaker 2: was I wrote songs, I'd go play him and if
Speaker 2: they liked this line and go, man, I need to
Speaker 2: write stuff like that, or they really like this part,
Speaker 2: was like, man, that's something that I need to put
Speaker 2: more stuff in there like that. So that was how
Speaker 2: shakee my songwriting. So go play it for people. Is
Speaker 2: there someone that you like?
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's lots of people, but is there a
Speaker 4: specific person that you kind of idolize in the country
Speaker 4: music world.
Speaker 2: Starting out, it was a big course Smith fan. Youmber
Speaker 2: of course more yeah, of course, and we got to
Speaker 2: be buddies. I got to know him through when the
Speaker 2: little songwriters deal with him. And that was one thing
Speaker 2: he told me that kind of stuck with me was
Speaker 2: that songwriting was something that you'd get better at. I
Speaker 2: don't know why. I'd always pictured in my head that
Speaker 2: people were like one hit Wonders was like, you get
Speaker 2: lucky and write a good song and then that's it.
Speaker 2: Probably I could get another one. But if you think
Speaker 2: about songwriting something that you can actually do and get
Speaker 2: better at, like anything else, which you know, it's kind
Speaker 2: of motivates you to go, Okay, well I might write
Speaker 2: twenty bad songs and one good one. Well, one good
Speaker 2: one will do pretty well for you. There you go.
Speaker 4: I'm a fan, of course smith Man. That guy's a
Speaker 4: stuck I'm surprised he's not like, way bigger.
Speaker 3: Than he is. I wish I was twenty one. That
Speaker 3: song was a banger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I could do it again, shout out, of
Speaker 2: course smith Can we get him on the bus? Still?
Speaker 2: He would love it? Did he like it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Man, got that good shiny bald head too. That's a compliment. No,
Speaker 2: he's not coming. I'll tell you what. The bald heads
Speaker 2: again with me.
Speaker 3: We'll just we'll move him.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I am. I've I've tasted my
Speaker 2: own medicine and getting picked on. It's better, much better,
Speaker 2: fun is.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna regroup. I'm gonna come back tomorrow stronger and
Speaker 4: more powerful than ever.
Speaker 1: He says, Uh, miss on, Hey, this this is a
Speaker 1: Mikey again, just from a different just from a different
Speaker 1: all right, Mikey.
Speaker 2: Sure, shout out to Mikey again.
Speaker 3: If you could tour with any old country artist, who
Speaker 3: would it be?
Speaker 2: I feel like Hang Wiams Junior would be a lot
Speaker 2: of Fun'd be solid. I feel like he had some
Speaker 2: shows where it was borderline out of control. Those are
Speaker 2: the best kinds of shows. Yeah, I'm with that. That
Speaker 2: would have been a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Who was more fun to drink with? Brad or John?
Speaker 2: I didn't drink with Brad, I assume talking about Brad
Speaker 2: page their John party. Yeah, I didn't drink with Brad,
Speaker 2: so I'd assume John. But Brad's a good hay man.
Speaker 2: He's he's a really funny cat. He's got a he's
Speaker 2: got a good personality. It's not a coincidence. He's been
Speaker 2: doing it for twenty something years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it like like touring and going on
Speaker 1: tours with like those guys and kind of do you
Speaker 1: get like, is it stressful?
Speaker 2: Does it? No, it's actually I mean like I'm on
Speaker 2: tour with Jason Nodding. Now we play six songs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I'll play twenty five minutes as a break.
Speaker 2: I mean, whereas you know, usually you go in and
Speaker 2: you're eating you know whatever they can round up for
Speaker 2: you in the band and you're you know, traveling all
Speaker 2: over the place and play ninety minutes. And this is
Speaker 2: like you go in they have catering. You know, Brad,
Speaker 2: they would have like lobster and stuff out there. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean caterin was great on Brad's tour. But you

Speaker 2: to see Jason aut In like two thousand and eight
Speaker 2: in Birmingham. It was him, Luke Bryan and Thompson Squared.
Speaker 2: And now on tour with him. That's badass. But it's
Speaker 2: just great to get in front of the numbers too,
Speaker 2: because I mean we're playing in front of several thousand
Speaker 2: as opposed to a few thousand, not eighty million, but
Speaker 2: it's still quite a few it's not quite eighty million,
Speaker 2: but you know, I mean, you'll get there. It took
Speaker 2: us almost a year to get this following there you go.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, year of talking about
Speaker 2: the Bachelor, talking about the Bachelor and jerking off perfect
Speaker 2: I know the recipe. I write a song like that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: when you watch a Bachelor tuesdays. We haven't even been

Speaker 2: talk about any moments where you were like, I can't
Speaker 2: believe this is my life right now. For several times,
Speaker 2: especially over the last couple of years, playing the Grand
Speaker 2: Old Opry was a big deal from that ass playing
Speaker 2: the rhymem and my grandparents were there. I mean, that
Speaker 2: was the hugest deal in the world of them, you know,
Speaker 2: like I will, I was not even remotely close to
Speaker 2: famous until I played the Opry, and then my grandparents
Speaker 2: were like, wellow he's made it now, you know.
Speaker 1: But uh.
Speaker 2: At award shows, ACM Awards, like walking back there and
Speaker 2: meeting Tracy Lawrence and I mean just Bringnan to Eric
Speaker 2: Church and people like that. It's it's weird that I'm
Speaker 2: thrown into a category of these people and they're doing
Speaker 2: the same thing that I am. When you go do
Speaker 2: these radio interviews and you walk in and you're sitting
Speaker 2: down talking to the same people Luke Prown was just
Speaker 2: talking to or this or that, it's it's pretty surreal,
Speaker 2: especially for me because I'm not very far removed from
Speaker 2: just being a fan. You know, that's pretty awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right.

Speaker 2: played it. I don't remember where I wasn't heard of
Speaker 2: Wish Grandpa's Never Died, but it was. I've heard it lot.
Speaker 2: It's and that's one of those that probably means a
Speaker 2: little bit more than any of them, just because it's
Speaker 2: such a personal song to hear played on the radio
