1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I was in that church and they were asking the

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: congregation to come down if you have anything on your heart,

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: and I remember a voice saying stand up, come on down,

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't walk. And then in

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: a split second, I just thought, oh no, I just

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: missed my opportunity to go to Heaven.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: Like I just said, I can't to God.

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: Welcome to episode five thirty with Drake White. If you're

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: curious as to what Drake looks like, you can always

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: go check him out on Instagram if you don't already

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: know at Drake White Stomp. Drake has really great music,

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 3: a lot of soul. You've got a song that's out

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: now called nothing but a Smile. I think he sings that.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah got it and we recorded it. It wasn't out yet, Yeah,

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: so know that so Low Country High Road. That album

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: came out in September. We talked about new music as well.

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: But Drake had a stroke and it was a bad deal.

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: I don't think I realized, because I mean I don't

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: live with him, how bad a deal it was. He

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: talked about that in detail. It really wasn't the plan,

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: but I said, we have a very loose plan. Anyway,

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: When we do this show. It wasn't that we're going

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: to spend the whole time talking about the stroke. We

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: don't spend the whole time talking about the stroke. But

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: I was just very curious at what he had to

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 3: go through and him bouncing back, and we talked about well,

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: I'll let you guys listen what.

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: We talk about.

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's do this here. He is Drake White.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: This is episode five thirty of the Bobby Cast. We

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: were talking about our phones and I just got a

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: new phone as well.

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: You have changed your number much though, No, I've had

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: the same number for a little while. I mean it's been.

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, pretty standard three years or so, four years,

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: maybe longer.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: I had one number for like sixteen years. Yeah, and man,

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: I was so attached to that number, like it was

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: a relative. Wouldn't change it. Number got written on a

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: wall a couple of times pastor I would just get

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: random text and finally up to the point where I

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: had to move off. But now this new phone, it's

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: got like a weird button on the bottom right which

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: opens up your camera automatically. So at times I'm just

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: like recording or is it like the government.

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Could be could be I think it's the government, and

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: Lot of stuff.

49
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: If I use the bathroom, I take my phone. Either

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: leave it out. I would like to have my phone

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 3: to read or TikTok, or I'll just I'll cover the

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: holes on it so they don't watch me using the bathroom.

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you're you're in.

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm in enough to want my wiener on the internet. Yeah, Like,

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: that's that's the level. What They're not really going to

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 3: find anything if they do go deep. And I feel

57
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: like if they want to go deep, they will and

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: there's nothing I can really do about it.

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Like if they want to plant stuff on someone's computer,

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: you know they can do that so easily.

62
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: That's fair enough, man. I mean, you don't want your

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: winer on the internet, that's.

64
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: Totally I prefer it not being I'm humiliated enough.

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you a big conspiracy guy or no?

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm not above a uh my manager, you slipped at

68
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: me lot, I'm not above I'm not above a good

69
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Like I've watched this stuff pan out over

70
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, grew up in the nineties, so we grow up,

71
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: we're doing this thing like I feel like we're the

72
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: We watched Facebook coming to fruition.

73
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: We watch the age of social media, and.

74
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: I think, if you're not a conspiracy theorist in some regard,

75
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: you're just not paying attention.

76
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 3: So and I think some of the have been proven

77
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: true to where some of them do feel a little wacky. Yeah,

78
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: but even with like the JFK dump, Yeah that wasn't

79
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: a lone gunman. We kind of know that. And forever

80
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: those people were like weirdos if you questioned anything the

81
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: government said about it being more than just one person.

82
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: But now it looks like for sure there was some

83
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: involvement by some group, probably the CIA, Yeah, probably.

84
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, for me, I lack information. I like

85
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: to look into something before. I like to have all

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: the information before I make a comment. It's really hard

87
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: to do that now because and I think our parents

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: my dad's seventy, my mom's sixty five or so, they

89
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: are you know, no offense to them. I love them,

90
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: and they're super intelligent, but they they are the ones

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: that are vulnerable too. Like did you see what Trump

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: said about this or this? I'm like, no, Dad, that's

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: not that, that's a you know, he said he hates pickleball.

94
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: What are you sure he said that, Like, I don't.

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

96
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: So they're the vulnerable ones on like believing believing, So

97
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: there's a and we're just I think at the tip

98
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: of the iceberg that.

99
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: Well, I think too. The older generation didn't get to

100
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: grow with it. So yeah, if you're sixty seventy eighty

101
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: years old. What used to be written was the word

102
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 3: because the newspaper wouldn't print something if it wasn't the

103
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: word true. And the word Now if you read something

104
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: on the internet or it's a meme, it's like it

105
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: is just believed because it's made into an actual image.

106
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: And just like the paper. I didn't even plan to

108
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: get started on that. I just thought it was interesting.

109
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: No exactly how we did. Yeah, me too. I just

110
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: want I won't poop on my phone without the cameras

111
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: being covered. I wanted that to be out there because

112
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: anbody's listening that wants to hack me or look at

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: my wiener or poop hole.

114
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: It's covered, it's understandable.

115
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: What's the rule we were talking about this this morning.

116
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: Do you have a tour bus rule about using the

117
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: bathroom in the in the bus.

118
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's more of a for the guy

119
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: that's emptying the tank, you know. For me, if I've

120
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: got a if there's an emergency, it's always like, you know,

121
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: it's there if there's an extreme emergency.

122
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: But the rule is no pooping on.

123
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: The bus for sure, because it then lives with you. Yeah,

124
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean you're you travel with it. Yeah, unless you're

125
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: Dave Matthews. You're taking it with you and then you're

126
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: dumping it out on the bridge and somebody's getting hit

127
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: with it.

128
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: Man, I'm great.

129
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: I'm seeing you in a little bit while. Yeah, I think.

130
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know. COVID kind of messed

131
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 3: with my years, so I don't know how long it's been.

132
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: Do you live in town?

133
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I live just north of town.

134
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: You have to say where, don't say where. Yeah, I

135
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 3: just wondered if you lived someone close.

136
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

137
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: I got a farm that keeps me kind of sane.

138
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: I got a farm, like a small twenty acre deal,

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: and it's just that's what kind of keeps me saying,

140
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: kept me saying through COVID. We played a lot of

141
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: shows in my barn, and you know, got a tractor.

142
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: I got a little boy now I got a two

143
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: year old Golden Retriever and a Bronco, so it's it's

144
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: my spot.

145
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: I haven't spent any time with you since your stroke.

146
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: What year was that?

147
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: It was August the sixteenth of twenty nineteen, So.

148
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: My story isn't as severe as yours. But I had

149
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: blood clotting my brain three different times where where I

150
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: didn't know what it was and I would like lose

151
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: the ability to read. I couldn't identify objects. I just

152
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: knew that weird banana shape, that weird yellow thing was

153
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: a banana, but I couldn't find words, and I had

154
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: gone back and forth a few times to doctors and

155
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: it ended up being like an a SCHEMI as what

156
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: they called it, okay, but I would wake up and

157
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: just think I had brain fogs so bad. And there

158
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 3: are parts of my life that I have no memory

159
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: of at all, Like there's like two month gaps prior

160
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: to what ended up being the what they would cause

161
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: a small stroke. You had a real one. I had

162
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: three really small ones, and now my blood thinners so

163
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: the blood in my brain doesn't clot again. But I

164
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: never really knew that that's what it was while it

165
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: was happening until my wife was at the time, she

166
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: was my girlfriend and my fiance. She was like, I

167
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: don't think that's normal what you're doing. Like I couldn't

168
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: read a piece of paper, and so I went in

169
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: and they did a brain scan and they were looking

170
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: at the different like gray matter, white matter. I learned

171
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: so much about the brain in that period, and the

172
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: doctor like, you've had blood clots in your brain and

173
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: that's why you have these lapses in memory. And that's

174
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: why there would be like three or four weeks where

175
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: my balance was bad, couldn't read, and I was having

176
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: to do a show and like lean on folks. And

177
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: that was a very mild version of it. What is

178
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: your version of like what happened? When did you know

179
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: what was happening?

180
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: That whole story I want to comment on, Like it's

181
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: the toughness, you know, the Arkansas kind of Alabama just

182
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: to being a dude, you know, the toughness, like we're

183
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: trying to tough it out.

184
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: I never stopped working. I was afraid if I did,

185
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to work, Like they would go, oh,

186
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: something's wrong with his brain. I didn't even acknowledge it.

187
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: I never talked about it because I didn't want someone

188
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: to go like he's broken, and I was like, I can,

189
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: I can get through it. I never took a day

190
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: off work. I should have looked back, but you're right,

191
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: it was very stubborn of me.

192
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: We're going to get so far into that and then

193
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: because that is the main, the main struggle for me mentally.

194
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: That happened because you know how fast this this.

195
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: City runs, and you know we I like to say

196
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: we got to second base it. We had some really

197
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: good successes, had a lot of friends, people loved career

198
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: before then. Yeah, right, everything was rolling, everything was good,

199
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: had been dropped, had been picked back up, had the

200
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: Zach Brown tour, had had stuff rolling. But it was

201
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: just it was a struggle, but it was a good

202
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: struggle and we were like in that spot. So I

203
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that I could quit. I felt like

204
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: I was building and so just tough it out.

205
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: Man.

206
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Walk Go past the numbness, the little tingly stuff on

207
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: the tips of your fingers, go past the heaviness in

208
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: your in your left leg, go past the the the

209
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: brain fog and in the spots in your vision.

210
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: And so you're feeling these things. Yeah, so you had

211
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: a while you had symptoms leading up to them.

212
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Not really not to the point of where I was like,

213
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: that is a symptom. It was just tough it out

214
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: like it wasn't. It wasn't severe enough to where that

215
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: I had like headaches or anything like that until it

216
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: was until the headache triggered. And what I had was

217
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: called an AVM, an arterial venus malformation MALF malformation, and

218
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: I was born with it and it formed in the

219
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: embryotic stage.

220
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Wow, my whole.

221
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: Life but one and I'd say one hundred and fifty

222
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,479
Speaker 1: thousand people.

223
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: Have these, and usually you find them in a ditch

224
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: at sixty years old because they've hemorrhaged.

225
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: They didn't know when it hit them all of a sudden.

226
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: They didn't know.

227
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: I found out because I was a singer and the

228
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: intensity at which I sing and training of running. I

229
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: was running a lot, trying to get in really good

230
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: shape to go out on tour, and I just liked competing,

231
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: and so that wore my bumpers off. Of this AVM,

232
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: which is a water of veins and arteries about the

233
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: size of a lime, that rested in my mobile cortex on.

234
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: My right side.

235
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: It was as big as a line, big as a lime,

236
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: huge one, he said, is the biggest one he's ever

237
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: worked on.

238
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: He said he's worked on twenty thousand.

239
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: And when they say they work on them, do they

240
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: cut it out or do they kind of repair the pathways.

241
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: There's two different pathways to go about it. You can

242
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: cut it out, which is obviously an evasive surgery, which

243
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm going through this mental thing of like, Okay, I'm climbing,

244
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: I've been dropped, I'm kind I'm playing with a chip

245
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: on my shoulder, like I'm ready to go back at it.

246
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell people or do I want

247
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: to help people. So my thing was like I'm not

248
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: going to tell anybody. I'm gonna me and my wife

249
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: are just gonna go get these embolized. And my doctor's

250
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: name is here in Nashville. He is amazing, He's part

251
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: of he's part of my life. Now.

252
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: His names real name is doctor Miracle. Like that's his

253
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: real name.

254
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's not his nickname from you, that's his

255
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: real name. You got kind of got to be a

256
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: doctor or like a dancer. Those are the only two options.

257
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: That's a miracle.

258
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh sorry, My brain's going like, what else for

259
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: doctor miracle.

260
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: But he said, we can.

261
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: This thing is so big, Drake, that we're going to

262
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: go in through your feminal artery and uh, we're going

263
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: to do these embolizations, which which entails going up through

264
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: your feminal artery with a catheter into the back of

265
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: your brain and squeezing it full of this stuff called onyx.

266
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: He said, but we can only do a little bit

267
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: of a at a time because the brain doesn't like

268
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: drastic change, but it doesn't mind small changes incrementally. So

269
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: we go in and he said, we're going to start

270
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: doing these on like Monday. You can rest Tuesday and

271
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday and then Thursday, because the first thing I wanted

272
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: to know is that could I play. You know, Thursday

273
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: you can be back out on the road and you

274
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: can be rocking. And so we took that, got our

275
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: first symbolization. They did it. I felt, and mind you,

276
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm healthy. Everything's good because I wasn't drinking that much.

277
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing really anything. I was just working out

278
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: and staying. When I got that news, by the way,

279
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: it came on as a headache.

280
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: And I was gonna ask, like, why did you even

281
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 3: go to the doctor the first time I got an.

282
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: MRI because I couldn't. The headache was so bad.

283
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: I never really had migraines, but this was like level

284
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: fifty migraine. Like I couldn't see, I couldn't I couldn't

285
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: look at light, I couldn't do anything. I literally went

286
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: home after the lunch and with my managers and I

287
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: went to bed and that headache was and my wife

288
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: came in. It was like, this is not normal I mean,

289
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to tough it out again. This is not

290
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: normal with your head hurting like this. You need to

291
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: go get an MRI.

292
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: No. No.

293
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I fought it for a second then couldn't. I couldn't

294
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: shake it, so I win't got an MRI. And it

295
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: showed the lime size mass. So that was a two

296
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: week stint. Two weeks is a long time to go

297
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: not knowing what that lime sized mass is in the

298
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: back of your brain. I don't know if it's cancer,

299
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a who knows.

300
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: But you did know there was a mass. Yeah, So

301
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 3: they're like, this is this now, We'll come back in

302
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: a couple weeks and tell you what it is. Holy God,

303
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: that's crazy. You have to just wait because my mind

304
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: would have gone every super dark place there was.

305
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: That's another common thing in my life, the number of

306
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: times that I've waited. Me and Alex, you know, we

307
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: have been through so much, many things where we've just

308
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: had to wait and everything is waiting for me. And

309
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a patient person at all. I love to

310
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: kick the tires and light the fires. I like to

311
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: keep it going. And man, it's just been hurry up

312
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: and wait. It feels like the last five six years.

313
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, the ABM is revealed, the the treatment is revealed,

314
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: and now I'm to the first treatment and I come

315
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: out Monday.

316
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: He does the emblization.

317
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: H I wake up from anesthesia and I'm like, okay,

318
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: everything's fine.

319
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: I feel good.

320
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: And he said, as we do more of these embolizations,

321
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: I think it'll take seven maybe eight because it's so big.

322
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: But your chances of them rupturing, because there was a

323
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: chance of it rupturing that that that could end in

324
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: death should end in death, I guess. But that chance

325
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: was like two percent, he said, and it will lessen

326
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: with each embolization. So I'll take that chance and and

327
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: we go out and do all these shows. And so

328
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: after the first one, we go out and do the

329
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: show on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, run.

330
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: Alex is with me.

331
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: Everybody's looking at me checking my blood pressure because that

332
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: was the thing. My blood pressure will get up because

333
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I'll just be screaming in the intensity of the show.

334
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Right Yeah, And man, that show went off without a hitch.

335
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: Two shows, twelve shows, twenty shows, thirty shows. We went

336
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: to Bahrain to play for the troops.

337
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: We went all over the place.

338
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: We went to Europe, came back, did a bunch of

339
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: shows with Zach Brown, came back like everything was really rocking.

340
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I dodged this bullet. Well four shows,

341
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: four embolizations in and about forty shows in. It was

342
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: August and sixteenth, and we take the stage in Rolling, OK, Virginia,

343
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: and my blood pressure medicine made me extremely dizzy. So

344
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I would bite it in half, you know, and just

345
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, just take half of it or whatever.

346
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: And for some reason.

347
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: I'd ask I'd either ask the doctor or ask I'd

348
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: ask the doctor. I'd said, like, is there any way

349
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: I can, like I feel good? Is there any way

350
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: I could come off this this medicine. He's like, well,

351
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: I would, I would advise you take the medicine, but

352
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think if it's making you so dizzy. I mean,

353
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like a vertigo level dizzy. I don't

354
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: know if you've ever yeah, you've probably performed dizzy. It's

355
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: not easy. So I didn't take it that day, and

356
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't the first time I'd not taken it. I'd

357
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: take it not taking it a lot, So it wasn't

358
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: like that's what caused it. But the one percent thing happened.

359
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: I took the stage and rolling oke got into about

360
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: three songs and when I say ah, it felt like

361
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: a bowling ball was on my left leg. About three

362
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: songs then, and just like you were talking about the banana,

363
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: like I knew it was a banana, I knew the song,

364
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I knew where I was.

365
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: I just didn't know how to. I didn't know what

366
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I was doing.

367
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: I was like I think, and you can see in

368
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: the footage back we're making a documentary on this, and

369
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: I've been watching the footage back. You can see me

370
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: like toughening it out, just trying to tough out and

371
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: keep going through it. And the miracle is that the

372
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: EMTs were watching me, you know, but the sky flipped

373
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: upside down like the cotton candy sky became the ground,

374
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: and the ground the crowd became the sky, and everybody

375
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: sounded like the scene in uh old School where you

376
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: get shot in the neck with a dart. Everything slowed

377
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: down and everything was and I was like, man, I'm

378
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 1: having a stroke, and I'd read all the jargon about that,

379
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: and it's like you you it's death.

380
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: You know, that is death.

381
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: So in my head, my left my left arm and

382
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: my left side was completely numb, and I kind of

383
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: staggered back and everything.

384
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: They caught me, pulled me off stage.

385
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: I was three minutes from a trauma one level hospital

386
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: there in Roanoke, and they rushed me to that that hospital,

387
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: and they my wife is a type a kindergarten teacher, like,

388
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: so she had prepared a a booklet of exactly what

389
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: to do if this happened. So my tour manager handed

390
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: the doctor's that booklet, and they administered this coagulant that

391
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: stopped my brain bleeding within eighteen minutes of its starting.

392
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: So it saved my right side, saved my life.

393
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: And so then I'm in the hospital, you know, I'm

394
00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: there in this very it's a it's a student driven

395
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: in hospital, very similar to Vanderbilt. So there's a lot

396
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: of traffic. You've been to Vanderbilt where there's like maybe

397
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: you have, maybe you haven't. But they there's a lot

398
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: of people. They ask a lot of opinions to try

399
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going on.

400
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: I'm in the room.

401
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: This is fifteen minutes after, ten minutes after the stroke happened,

402
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: and I'm in the hospital room and they got my shirt,

403
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: they tore my shirt off of me, and there's these

404
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: like conversations going on of do we put a poured in?

405
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 2: Do we not put a poured in?

406
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: You can hear this, you remember, yes, I can hear it,

407
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: and I can remember it. But I remember screaming, don't

408
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: put a port because I'd read about sepsis. I'd read

409
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: about being brain dead. I don't know if that's the

410
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: politically correct thing, but I that was my biggest fear.

411
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: It's like having to be rolled around in up a

412
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: wheelchair my whole life by my wife or well whoever,

413
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: and just fed and I'm screaming, don't put a poured in.

414
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm locked inside my rib cage

415
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: my body, like I feel like I'm literally locked inside

416
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: and I can't I could see everything kind of, and

417
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: they wouldn't give me any pay medicine because they wanted

418
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: to make sure that I could respond.

419
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: To where I'm at, what's your name?

420
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: That it? And so I just I started praying in

421
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: that moment and just remember saying, as long as you're breathing,

422
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: you're alive, and as long as you just breathe in

423
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: and breathe out, and upon that, you know that breathing.

424
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: I just had to concentrate so hard on breathing. I

425
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'm still alive. And in that little

426
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: fifteen minute I know this is a long story, it's

427
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: even longer.

428
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: No, take your time.

429
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: That that was only fifteen minutes, you know, fifteen twenty

430
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: minute kind of a bang bang thing of them and

431
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: ministering that. But my wife is seven hours away. So

432
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm breathing in, out, in out, and I'm concentrating. I'm

433
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: hearing all these conversations go on, and I see these

434
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: four figures in the corner of the room and they're

435
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: like very confident and they're very peaceful, and they're shaking

436
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: their head and I was like something happened in the

437
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: room to where I was not worried.

438
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: It was a very peace, peaceful feeling.

439
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna say I floated above the bed,

440
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: but like I got, I was above the bed in

441
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: some regard like I felt really good, I felt really free,

442
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: And in that moment there was just this unbelievable peace.

443
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna fast forward. Uh, well, no I'm not.

444
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in this because I I didn't. I

445
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: didn't ever feel There was no fear in this part

446
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: of the journey, Like the fear was gone. I was

447
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: just like, all right, I'm having a stroke, Like keep breathing,

448
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: keep doing your thing. And then all of that, I

449
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about breathing. And they hadn't ministered

450
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: any pain medicine yet.

451
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 3: So that means your body is not reacting to the

452
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: pain medicine. So whatever the feeling is this, if it's

453
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: a euphoric or free feeling or some mixture of both,

454
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: it's not because of medicine in any way. No, So

455
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: whatever it is is naturally come upon you.

456
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, got it.

457
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: So the next thing that I remember is me waking

458
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: up in Alex's hand, in my hand, and I remember

459
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: thinking I tried to squeeze her hand and I couldn't

460
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: squeeze her hand on my left hand, and I remember

461
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: thinking that rock Bottom had a basement.

462
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: I was like, that was rock Bottom. That was like, okay,

463
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: I am paralyzed.

464
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: I am not going to be able to do what

465
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: I want to do.

466
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: And then then I passed.

467
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Like it's not consciousness, like I'm not in a colma

468
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: or nothing like that.

469
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: I'm just so weak from everything.

470
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: Alex has explaining it that I saw her there and

471
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: I kind of grinned and then went back.

472
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: Kind of under this world, this other world.

473
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: But the veil that I'm talking about is just that

474
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: was the near death experience of seeing the four figures.

475
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: And I didn't know what they were. I thought they

476
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: were security guards.

477
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were they had security guards from the show,

478
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: because it was just kind of, you know, I didn't

479
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: know what it was. So Alex comes in and she

480
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: later tells me that she had prayed for four angels

481
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: to surround the corner, put angels in the corner of

482
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: the room as she was coming to Roanoke at one

483
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. She said, just put angels in

484
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: each corner of the room and guide these doctor's hands.

485
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: And they didn't put a poort in, they didn't put

486
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: anything in that that coagulant stopped the brain bleed and

487
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: saved the rest of my body. And then these these

488
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: four angels appear and they're they're, they're there. The next

489
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: thing I remember, I remember I grew up in this

490
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: church that had red carpet. Uh well, I grew up

491
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: in a church that blue carpet, but my grandfather preached

492
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: in a church that had red carpet, and we would

493
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: visit it as church. And I was in that church

494
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: and they were asking the congregation to come down if

495
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: you have anything on your heart, and I remember a

496
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: voice saying stand up, come on down, and I was like,

497
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: I can't walk.

498
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be able to stand up.

499
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: And then in a split second, I just thought, oh, no,

500
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: I just missed my opportunity to go to Heaven. Like

501
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: I just said, I can't to to God. You know,

502
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: I just said I can't get up and walk. And

503
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: in that moment I realized that I realized that I

504
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: just said no, I can't to God.

505
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: And Alex said that.

506
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: I had not moved in like four or five days,

507
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: and I jump up and I'm ripping the stuff out

508
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: trying to get out, and I'm like, I'll get up,

509
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I'll walk, and like now we're back into the hospital

510
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: room and she's like, I have not moved, and I

511
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: sat straight up out of bed and I'm trying to

512
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: get up and I'm trying to walk. And that was basically,

513
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: in my mind, an encounter with God. Like I didn't

514
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: see his face, it was just a bright light, and

515
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: it was a it was a are you ready type.

516
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: Experience, and I was like, no, I'm not. I'm not ready.

517
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't very verbal, but I knew he was thinking it,

518
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: are you ready? I was like, no, I'm not ready.

519
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of stuff I want to do.

520
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: I've got I want to have kids, i want another

521
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Golden Retriever, i want to fix my Bronco, you know

522
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: whatever it was.

523
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 2: But that was. That was maybe seven eight now.

524
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: Days after the stroke, and Alex was sitting badside with me,

525
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: which she never left. I know that's deep, I know

526
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: that's in there, but that that veil is so thin

527
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 1: and life and death is so fragile in that world,

528
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: but it was not scary. It was super peaceful and

529
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: it was very very real, and those angels were very real.

530
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: So I'll we came, we got home, we made it home,

531
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: and the supermoon was in the eastern sky.

532
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 2: I know that sounds We're I'm in uh. You know,

533
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: I love the moon. I love the stars.

534
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: We always go outside on the farm and look at

535
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on in astronomy.

536
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: And this Superman was happening.

537
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: And I rolled my wheelchair over there, and this cloud

538
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: goes by, and the cloud looked like the Archangel Michael,

539
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: and a painting that me and Alex are familiar with,

540
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: and kind of at the same time, we both said,

541
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: that looks like the archangel Michael or an angel. And

542
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Ali told me that story, she said, you know, on

543
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: your way, on my way to.

544
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: Growing up, I prayed.

545
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: That God would put angels in the corner of the

546
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: room and guide the doctor's hands and help them with

547
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: the decisions. Because the decision to not put a port in,

548
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: the decision to not open me up, the decision to

549
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: do what the booklet said as opposed to you know.

550
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: That that was a miracle. That was a big thing

551
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: for me.

552
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: And she said, I prayed that they would guide, And

553
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that was spiritual warfare happening in that room

554
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: of like I was being tested, I was being kind

555
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: of taken and pulled. And I think that that prayer,

556
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: that one prayer sent those angels, and those angels guided

557
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: the hands of those doctors in that saved my life.

558
00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: Hang tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back. Wow,

559
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 4: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

560
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: How long were you in a wheelchair or unable to

561
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: physically do normal able body things.

562
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: Once I got back to Nashville. Say that was August, September,

563
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: October November. We're talking about three months.

564
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: You were in nut the whole time. No, all the hospital, No,

565
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 3: but that you were in the hospital in Rono for

566
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: how long? For two weeks? That's an eternity. That's not home. No,

567
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: even for your wife. I mean for your wife too,

568
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: like she's not able to have the home things.

569
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: Wow.

570
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: And you know that it was a miracle that we

571
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: couldn't fly a plane back because of the pressure to

572
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: the ABM and the brain. We couldn't get a medical

573
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: transfer back in an ambulance because I can't be jostled

574
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: around like that in an ambulance for seven hours, you know,

575
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: or nine hours, and Alex.

576
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: Is like, what are we going to do?

577
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: What are we going to And we called a dear

578
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: friend of ours, Kylie Irvin, and she sent a tour

579
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: bus up there. And then they were like, I mean

580
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: and this is the hospital. They were like, we got

581
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: to get him out of here, and I says, like,

582
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Like, I don't, I don't know

583
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: what to do. And so the bus is coming. You

584
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: got to have a EMT to accompany you on the

585
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: bus to watch you. I mean, you are a high

586
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: risk dude right now. So I come out up out

587
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: of Alex will explain, I come out of kind of

588
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: a stupor and go call Eric Estes, call Brandon Harcrow.

589
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: There were my buddies that had become fireman out of

590
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: high school. And I didn't talk to those dudes in

591
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: a while, and she called both of them. Brandon had

592
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: had something going on, but Eric was like, I'll be

593
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: there in seven hours. Eric comes, We get a all

594
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: the way back to Nashville on a tour bus in

595
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: the back. It works out. So you asked the timing

596
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: that was two weeks in rowan Oak and then it

597
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: was the work then over at Skyline right off Dickerson Pike,

598
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: which I love that hospital.

599
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: Those the OT's and the pets saved.

600
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: My life, and they they're the ones that made me

601
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: get up, you know. And I'm sitting here, you know,

602
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: rehabbing next to a seventy five year old stroke patient

603
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: that's farting all over itself, you know, and it's just

604
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: a it's a very dire time for me and my

605
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: mental capacity because we're we had played Fenway Park, we

606
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: had played these awesome places, you know, we had seen

607
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: these great things. And then I'm I'm somebody's got to

608
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: help me use the bathroom, and somebody's got to help

609
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: me shower.

610
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: And just a very very low time. And that took.

611
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: I was, I was there forty days and forty nins

612
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: and now I don't I know that's biblical, but that

613
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: literally is.

614
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: How long I was there.

615
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: And so once I was, I was just so ready

616
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: to get back home. And I had buddies come and

617
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: build build handrails to get to get in and uh

618
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: at the house, and uh we got back home, and

619
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: you know that is that is when the work, you know,

620
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the work. There was a lot of work of just

621
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: getting off the table and a lot of pain and

622
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: joints and and.

623
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: My left side was completely paralyzed.

624
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: All the muscle mass went out of my left side

625
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: and all the muscle mass went out of my my

626
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: my legs and nothing would work. And so building that

627
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: back up was extremely painful. The shoulder was extremely painful,

628
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: the hip was extremely painful. But I would just get

629
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: little little bitty drops of hope. And this one all

630
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to do was write. I wanted to write songs.

631
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I have a forever muse, I

632
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: have a relentless music like now I can write these

633
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: songs and do these things. And I remember my publisher goes, well, Drake,

634
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic is set in because do the math, you know, August, September,

635
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: October twenty nineteen, and then we're moving into twenty twenty.

636
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: And so it's a double whammy for me because I

637
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: felt like I had gotten my career was you know,

638
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: you work hard for that, You work hard to get

639
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: to those points in those spots, And then I felt

640
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: like the proverbial rug was kind of pulled out from

641
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: under me.

642
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: And then they say the pandemic.

643
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: Then you know, right when I get back to where

644
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm on a walker, I had a cane and I

645
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: felt like I could play.

646
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: They didn't want me to play.

647
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: But I played a couple of private shows probably four

648
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: months after the injury, four or five months after the injury,

649
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: and they were very, very docile shows. But it proved

650
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: it was just a stepping stones that I could get

651
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: there and do it.

652
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: But all I wanted to do was write.

653
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: And he said, well, nobody's writing, nobody's coming to the

654
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: published NOWE would you be willing to write on zoom?

655
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: And I said, man, I write in morse code. I

656
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: don't give a shit, Like what.

657
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: Are you talk like? So that's the perspective shifts.

658
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're just like. And I wrote this song

659
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: called Hurts Hurts the Healing, and that song proved to

660
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: me in that moment that that I could I could

661
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: do it, that I could keep going. And so that

662
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: little rais of hope, there little raise of hope when

663
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I could walk, and now I

664
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: would go like I would gain like two steps forward,

665
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: then I'd go five steps back. As far as the

666
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: the help journey and the recovering, what do.

667
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: They tell your ceiling was though. Whenever you went back home,

668
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: did they tell you they had visions? Are the outlook

669
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: could include playing music and writing music, or was it

670
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: we don't know where this is going to end? Like

671
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 3: what was the what was their version of your future

672
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: to you?

673
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I realized really quick and you probably did too.

674
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: With brain injuries, they know less about the brain than

675
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: we know about the ocean than we know about Mars. Like,

676
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: they know very little, and so they can't tell you anything.

677
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: Nobody can tell you. It's an acl and it's going

678
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: to heal if you do this, this.

679
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: This, and this.

680
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: So they're they're basically going just keep working hard, just

681
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: keep keep working. And I formed what I now live by,

682
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: is it if you believe you're healing, you're healing. That's

683
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: place Ebo's a real thing. But it doesn't matter placebo

684
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: or not. If you believe you're healing, you are healing.

685
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: And so I just put in my mind. I set

686
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: things Bobby, Like getting back to the stage was a

687
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: big thing. Then the pandemic hit. Wednesday night therapy, you know,

688
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: getting in the barn and playing these shows, these small

689
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: shows that I would just gather around with, you know,

690
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: two or three people and throw up my phone and

691
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: put it on Instagram. You know, I would look forward

692
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: to those. Hunting was a huge thing. Being outside was

693
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: a big thing. Whether it be rollman, get Alex to

694
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: roll my wheelchair out there and just take take.

695
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: My shoes off and walk around in the backyard.

696
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: That might be the event for the day at some

697
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: point early in the recovery process. But I did something,

698
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: and I noticed that my brain as long as I

699
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: had something to look forward to and as long as

700
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: I had something to you know, music was so everybody

701
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: says music's healing, It is healing, But man, like I

702
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: remember preparing for a right, like I had so many

703
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: rights that the years prior, is like, oh I got

704
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: a right today, who's it with? What we're gonna do?

705
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: You get into the right? What y'all want to do?

706
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, No, dude, I would prepare for these rights.

707
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: I would go in and just have seventeen ideas and

708
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: all that because you had time. And so it just

709
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: really gave me a perspective shift and gratitude of how

710
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: to walk through this and how to walk through life

711
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: in an appreciative way. And not that I wasn't before,

712
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: but now I was just very very adamant and very

713
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: driven to prove.

714
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: Not prove anybody wrong.

715
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: But like, get back out there, because I heard rumblings

716
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: of he may never walk again. I heard rumblings of

717
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: he'll definitely never perform again. Like and man, the artist

718
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 1: that would call me, there's no need in saying names,

719
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: but like my good friends that we all know that

720
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: you know that you've had on your show. They would

721
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: call me in and I'd be like, all right, man,

722
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: well let's let's write or let's get together, and right, oh, brother,

723
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: you worry about And they didn't mean to. This is

724
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: a specific one. They were only trying to do good.

725
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: But they would be like, you take care of yourself.

726
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: You will write when you get well.

727
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: Not understanding that what you need to take care of

728
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: yourself was to write or to have something to do.

729
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: I threw an iPhone through a sheet rock sheet rock

730
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: wall one day after I got off the phone with

731
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: a with a with a friend and a fellow artist,

732
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: and and.

733
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: I threw it through else what is going on?

734
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: What?

735
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: What? What's wrong?

736
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: And it was by him saying he didn't mean to,

737
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: but by him saying kind of take him out, Hey,

738
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: let's write and him saying, you take care of yourself.

739
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: We'll write when when blah blah blah. That was like

740
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: he thinks I'm done. He thinks that, he thinks that

741
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: everybody's just passing me. And I know that's not true,

742
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: but that's what I thought, and so I'm I'm angry.

743
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: I have to I have to deal with some of

744
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: that now, you know, with you know, it's it's an

745
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: ongoing battle of like, you know, is your shot over?

746
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: Is your window of opportunity over? Can you get back

747
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: up and do this? You know? And I answer those

748
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 2: questions every day, you know, I answer those questions with

749
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: every show.

750
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I play these shows with a revival esque type spirit

751
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: of like I once was dead, you know, but I

752
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: don't celebrate. It wasn't a near death experience to me.

753
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: It was a near life experience. Meaning our Dion Sanders

754
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: say that the other day.

755
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: I think that's why I say, talking about his bladder, Yes, cancer, Yeah.

756
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: It was. It was a it was a life experience.

757
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: The reason I love I love what he said it was,

758
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: it's not a near death experience.

759
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: It was a life experience because man, it made life.

760
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: My sweet wife duct taped her leg to my and

761
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: taught me to walk again. She'll be my wife forever.

762
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean, goodness, gracious, you can't. You can't love anybody more.

763
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: My son teaching him to do stuff, my never taking

764
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: a rite for granted, never taking a podcast for granted,

765
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: and never taking an opportunity for granted.

766
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, I had a pretty good grounding.

767
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: Of it before, but now it was like God gave

768
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: me this thing and this obstacle, and I think that

769
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: it gave me the authority to go and help people.

770
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: And where people be like, oh, hey don't know what

771
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm going through, blah blah blah.

772
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: Well maybe I don't, but let me tell you this story.

773
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: And they're like, whoa, if he can if he can

774
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: get through, that, I can get through. So now I've

775
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: started speaking, you know, I've met I've met, you know,

776
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: tons of folks. I love doing it and I never

777
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: thought I loved speaking. I thought that was a nightmare,

778
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: you know. But it's about helping people for me now.

779
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: And the muse the music is just it never stole

780
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: my I think this is a great cool thing. Like

781
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: it never stole my ability to sing or stole my ability.

782
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: To to you know, hear melody. I I don't play

783
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: a guitar as well.

784
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: Now I do a lot of opening, open tunings and

785
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but the music has a richness to

786
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: it that you know, I can't I can't say it's

787
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: anything but but a miracle. And I can't say it's

788
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: anything but you know. To have this attitude and have

789
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: this thing. And I have bad days, I just have

790
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: people around me that pull me out of it. And

791
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: you know, my therapist, Griff Moore at Paradigm down south

792
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: of town, meet with him still four hours a week,

793
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, and we go through the same motions and

794
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: we grind and I have horrible days with him, of

795
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: days that my leg and my foot doesn't do what

796
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. But we've got this, this show,

797
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: and we prepared for these shows, and we prepared for

798
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: these movements, and we prepared for this thing. And we've

799
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: prepared to climb a ladder, a ladder stand, you know,

800
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: to to hunt and that that helped me just climbing

801
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: this ladder, help me do other things, help me learn

802
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: how to change a dipper, you know, and changing a dipper.

803
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: My wife laughs at me, but she said, that's great therapy.

804
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 1: It's great therapy, changing the Dipper's great therapy, go change

805
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: his diapper. So it's really it's really been a crazy experienced, Bobby.

806
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: It's been a frustrating experience, but ultimately I think it's

807
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: the best thing that ever happened to me.

808
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: You know, I really do.

809
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: Because as far as me as a human being, empathy

810
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: and being more like you know, being more like Jesus

811
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: or whatever you're aspiring to be better, I'm always trying

812
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: to be better then it was yesterday, as cliche as

813
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: that is, but this is this is just always. This

814
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: is one of those things that like, now, maybe somebody

815
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: can look at me and go, well, if he can

816
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: get through that, then I can. I can keep going

817
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: to get through this, and so all this mental health

818
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: stuff and uh, you know, I think I've got I

819
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: think I've got a line I could throw you.

820
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: You know, the Bobby cast will be right back. This

821
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 4: is the Bobby Cast.

822
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 3: You talk about that in a way that I talk

823
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: about perspective in general, where no one wants to have

824
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: to get perspective, but once you have it, it's valuable.

825
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 3: And you don't get perspective by something easy, like nothing

826
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 3: easy ever gives you perspective. Perspective comes through something hard

827
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 3: that you've had to get through, and what you've learned

828
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: from it ends up being tools you can use for

829
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 3: yourself or for others. Had a guy called me this

830
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: morning and he just got out of jail and he

831
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 3: was like, hey, while I was in jail, like another

832
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 3: inmate gave me your books. And he was from an

833
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: area like I grew up, someone like where you grew up,

834
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: but you know, super impoverished area in the South.

835
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 2: Fai.

836
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: He had addicts all around him, as did I. And

837
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: he was like, you came out of that to do

838
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: what you're doing now, and it gave me hope that

839
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: it could be done. And I think because of what

840
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 3: I come from, I have perspective. It sucked getting it.

841
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 3: It sucked. I would not wish it up on anyone,

842
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: but now I'm so happy that I have it. And

843
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 3: this is I'm just hearing you tell your story, and

844
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: you say people don't have your exact same story, but

845
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 3: they have an understanding that you now understand. What's something

846
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 3: very very difficult is like and I feel like you've

847
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: gained so much perspective. Would you do it again?

848
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: Not?

849
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 3: However, you're so grateful for what you've learned from it.

850
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: That it's it's it's a net gain. It feels like

851
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 3: I want to put words in your mouth, but I

852
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 3: feel like it's a net gain for you in your

853
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 3: life because of what you've gained from it and then

854
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: what you can help other people do as well.

855
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a very fair assessment and statement. Like,

856
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, the the big thing that we're talking about

857
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: with people isolating their selves with their problems, like I've

858
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: been divorced three times, or I've got a drug addiction.

859
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 2: Drug addiction is a big one.

860
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: Or I've got you know, I've had you know, I'm

861
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: paralyzed on the left side, or whatever it is. I've

862
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: had cancer, I've had this, I've had that. I kind

863
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: of do this thing and and I got it from

864
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: a conference I went to one time. But like in

865
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: our shows, like I've asked people to raise their hand,

866
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: Hey if you've faced something in the last five years, say,

867
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: everybody says I, hey if you as you mayn't hear

868
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: ever battled cancer in one you know, And it's kind

869
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: of the church thing. Have show some hands. And at

870
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: first I thought it was cheesy, but basically, I go

871
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: through cancer, you know, I go through whatever I'm thinking of.

872
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, I've went through Parkson's, I went through addiction,

873
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: I went through in the bottom what I'm what I

874
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: was shown when the when the first time I saw

875
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: this is most of the time, I would trade my, uh,

876
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: your problems for my problems, you know what I mean?

877
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: I would If you ask people, they've all got problems.

878
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's got problems. And my favorite thing is everybody's like, well,

879
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: it's not like yours. You know, it's not as you

880
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: can't say that because their problems are their problems and

881
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: you're not alone.

882
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: Everybody has faced.

883
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: Your specific problem, even if it's this little bitty, minute,

884
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: niche thing. Like the people that I've seen raise hands

885
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: on the A v M journey in the.

886
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: The brain stuff are crazy.

887
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: And I've been able to talk to teenagers with AVMs

888
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: that have ruptured. I've been able to talk to dozens

889
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: and hundreds of people with these AVMs, and they're supposed

890
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: to be one of the rarest things you know out there,

891
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: And you know, it's kind of like when you get

892
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: a when you get a Bronco and you start or

893
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: you get a jeep you start noticing everybody's got a jeep,

894
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, you get you get this AVM or whatever.

895
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: You start noticing and and I think that is spiritual.

896
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: I think it's spiritual because that's what He's bringing you

897
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: through that stuff for. And if I can help somebody,

898
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: Music definitely heals stories, Definitely heal Separation is is the

899
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: opposite of healing. And to go through that pandemic right

900
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 1: after a brain injury, I just think I'm very proud

901
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: that God gave me these challenges. I wish he would

902
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have sometimes, but now looking at if he trusts

903
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: me with that and he knows that I'm going to

904
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: come back and have this perspective, then then that's what

905
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: I'll have.

906
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 2: And I will say this again, I am. I feil

907
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 2: every day. I fell.

908
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: I felt every day. You know, I failed today. I

909
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: got kind of heated earlier. It ebbs and flows. It's

910
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: a constant working thing. I oh, man, I think I'm done,

911
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: or I think I'm this, or I think I'm that,

912
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: and then something happens, A show happens.

913
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: I go hang out with my Golden Retriever and my

914
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: little boy.

915
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: Or you know, I see you know, a hawk fly

916
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: across the sky, or you know, I get to come

917
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: and a great friend asked me to come right, or

918
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: I get a cut, or I get you know, I

919
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: get a show, or we get an opportunity. You know,

920
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: something happens to pour me out of it always, And

921
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: I just realized it's the roller coaster. Man, it is

922
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: what it is, and it's it's best just to for

923

00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: To up in in frequency, Get you a two and

932
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: a half year old with a two year old Golden

933
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Retriever and hang out with him for five minutes. I mean,

934
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: it's just like an endorphin. There's so much innocence there.

935
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: And we went through seven years of infertility to have him.

936
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: We went throughout the IVF process. I've been open with

937
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: that on our stages. So we went through the stroke,

938
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: all right, and I just told you that story. Then

939
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: we're going through seven years of infertility. In the middle

940
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: of all that and then Alex, my wife, becomes uh

941
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: starts tingling, gets this allumn.

942
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: She's tingling.

943
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: We go to steamboat with some friends to try to

944
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: just get away from the pandemic or whatever. And we're

945
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: hiking out there and she becomes paralyzed. Long story short,

946
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: becomes paralyzed from her breast down. And now I'm I'm

947
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: just now out of a wheelchair and she's she's now

948
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: paralyzed from her breast down. And people ask me what

949
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: I did, and I'm like, I called her our moms,

950
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: and her moms came and lived with us for a

951
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: little while to get Alex back up on her feet.

952
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: And you know, she's faced this CIDP. It's a chronic

953
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 1: demolination of her nerves. And it was from not knowing

954
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: she had type one diabetes. So she was wow diagnosed

955
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: with type one diabetes and.

956
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 2: You know, so that happened in twenty twenty.

957
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 3: Did she feel healthier after they diagnosed what it was

958
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: that was causing that, Like, once they said you have

959
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 3: type one diabetes and you were able to treat that specifically,

960
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: did she start to feel better?

961
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Think I think not knowing is half the health battle.

962
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 3: But was she like feeling bad before that because I

963
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 3: feel like undiagnosed diabetes affecting her a way she didn't

964
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: even know before the drastic turned.

965
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: Just ebb huge ebbs and flows of energy. You know,

966
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: you're sugar fluctuating, uncontrollable. Yes, is just you know, the

967
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: moods that the moods and the things you know that

968
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: that effects is crazy.

969
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: But so she's she battles through that.

970
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: We get through that, and then we go through all

971
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 1: this infertility stuff end up having our son. So seeing

972
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: his life and seeing him in the world has been

973
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: one of the best, one of the best things ever

974
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: and also one of the the funniest because like I've

975
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: realized that nobody has a clue what they're doing, you know,

976
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: with parenthood, like you just kind of do it. I mean,

977
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: we we do the best we can. And man, he's

978
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: he's blindheaded and wild and we just have a good

979
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: time with him. But he is the source of joy,

980
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, right now.

981
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 2: And it's like, it's just good man, what.

982
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 3: Do you have out on your farm?

983
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 2: Bees?

984
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: We got about it's a deciduous forest, which means, you know,

985
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: just a bunch of hardwoods and stuff like that.

986
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 2: I do a lot of hunting out there? You a beekeeper,

987
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 2: alex Is, Did she put that thing on? Yeah?

988
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 3: We had a bunch of folks where I come from

989
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: that were beekeepers. It was very common, but they would

990
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: just just sometimes put the mask on that they dropped

991
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 3: the whole suit, Like if you wore the suit, you

992
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 3: kind of got made fun of.

993
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they.

994
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: Would they would wear the hat. But yeah, we had

995
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: honey everywhere because everybody in that town was beekeeper. Why

996
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 3: does she do it? Does she like it? Is? It?

997
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: Is?

998
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 3: It? Does it take her away? She has to focus

999
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: on that?

1000
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 2: Is that? Like?

1001
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 3: I don't know what what therapeutic does she get from them?

1002
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1003
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think she's just she We're both natural people.

Speaker 1: I like, That's why I love hunting. I love being

1007
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:06,360

00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: a deer or what if I was a duck?

1009
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: You know, how would I react here?

1010
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: And what would I She likes being in that natural

1011
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: situation of doing something with her hands and then bringing

1012
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: it and putting it in a recipe. She's also a

1013
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: she doesn't call it a chef. She calls her great

1018
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: She likes to put her energy into natural things, whether

1019
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: it be bees or I mean, she loves finding artifacts

Speaker 1: there and catching lightning bugs or you know, fishing little stuff.

1022
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: But preparing food and nurturing people is what she loves

1023
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: to do.

1024
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 3: So you have game cameras out there property. I'm stepped

1025
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 3: out to me this this morning because.

1026
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh, you're about to start the game camera.

1027
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, it's just you know, I'm from rural Arkansas. So

1028
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 3: this is what These are the pictures that we send

1029
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 3: for fun. Like there's like a right behind his house.

1030
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: He's got game cameras.

1031
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: Nice.

1032
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: That's why my photo log is from people home. It's

1033
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 3: fishing deer and ducks, and so it's like it's like

1034
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 3: here we go again, and it's just like one after

1035
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: the other.

1036
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's my whole real you know, and people

1037
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: people there's such a a dogma I think that comes

1038
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: with hunting and fishing, and I love that saying, you know,

1039
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: it's it's a newer idea to not hunt or not

1040
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: fish than it is to fish or or hunt. What

1041
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: that means is like people they're like, oh, my gosh,

1042
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: you hunt.

1043
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

1044
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been to, you know, all over the

1045
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: place where and I don't want to. You know, I understand.

1046
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: The closer we can get to Earth and the closer

1047
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: we can get to our connection with our food and

1048
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: all that, the happier I get and the healthier I get.

1049
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: And it literally helped heal me through all of this stuff.

1050
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: To be close to bees, to be close to grow

1051
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: in your own tomatoes, to actually harvesting the venison and

1052
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: eating that that that healthy food that was healing to

1053
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: me and that made I could feel that in my bones.

1054
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: And so I've dedicated a lot of my life to

1055
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: to that, to the conservation of that, and that the

1056
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: idea of the outdoorsman and the man and woman women

1057
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: that go out there and and actually know how to

1058
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: can their vegetables and actually know how to harvest and

1059
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: skin and prepare a wild animal and feed and provide.

1060
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: So coming back out of that stroke and being able

1061
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 1: to provide for my family and get back into a rhythm,

1062
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: into a hunting thing, into making music again.

1063
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 2: Was just huge. And then the pandemic hit and really

1064
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: diving into.

1065
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: That outdoor world was really what I told you, what

1066
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: I had to look forward to was hunting.

1067
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: And I saw a giant deer like one hundred.

1068
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: And seventy five inches dear, if that makes sense to you,

1069
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: like on a scoring system. And I've never been a

1070
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: big guy, like, oh, it's got to be this massive deer.

1071
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: But I saw this deer after my brother in law

1072
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: put a game camera up behind the house and it

1073
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: was kind of a reluctant thing for me. I was like,

1074
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: I can't hunt. I'm in a wheelchair. You know, this

1075
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 1: is right in between wheelchair and cane. And it was like, whatever,

1076
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. So he puts it out

1077
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: there and I check it five hundred times a day. Well,

1078
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: giant like Bambie's dad walks out behind the house, like

1079
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: right behind the house, and it's not normal to have

1080
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: a world class deer in Tennessee that big. So I

1081
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: go to Alex Bobby and I said, I gotta learn

1082
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: how to climb a ladder. And she looks at me

1083
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: in this wheelchair and she goes, we got to learn

1084
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: how to walk. And I held that picture up to

1085
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: her and she goes, well, you're not going to Iowa.

1086
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: He said, look at the picture, saying that it's in

1087
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: the backyard. She was like, Oh my gosh, that's crazy.

1088
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: So then I go to my my therapist and I said,

1089
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: I got to learn how to climb a ladder. He

1090
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: looks at me in a walker and it's like, you

1091
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: got to learn how to walk, boss, showing the picture.

1092
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: He's from Mississippi, so he got it real quick. He

1093
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: was like, he's like, we'll get on that versa climber

1094
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: and let's go in. Two months later, I climbed the

1095
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: ladder and I never saw that deer. I saw the

1096
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: deer twice, but I never had the chance to harvest it.

1097
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: And I think that deer might have been a a

1098
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: God deer, might have been an angel deer, like a

1099
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: fake deer like that God just put it in my

1100
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: life to because he knew that that you can get

1101
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: really get me with a song and a deer and

1102
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: a fish, like you can just get me with those things.

1103
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: So we made a documentary. Uh, we're going to release

1104
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: it. It's called Ladder to the Sky. Just about how that

1105
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: that helped heal me. And you know, I had this

1106
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: idea to I love that scene in the Revenant where

1107
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: the bear attack happens to DiCaprio, and uh, I wanted

1108
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: to shoot it like that, like I love Honting videos

1109
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: or what they are there, they're whatever. How we grew

1110
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: up watching honey videos. But I wanted something to encapsulate

1111
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: the primal instinct of it.

1112
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: Like what it did is flip the switch in my brain.

1113
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: Primly that got.

1114
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: Me back to like a provider, a a producer, a

1115
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: somebody with something to do. And I went back to

1116
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: my h my neurologist, I'm talking three or four months

1117
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: after I'd seen that picture, and he's like, Drake, what

1118
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: what have.

1119
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: You been doing? Man? You look great?

1120
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

1121
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: I said, well, I mean and Alex, because I'll tell

1122
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: you what he's been doing. He's been hunting every day.

1123
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: And he said, whatever you've been doing. Your your scans

1124
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: look amazing. You know, I can't say that neuroplasticity has

1125
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: grown around your lesion because of this deer. But I

1126
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: can promise you this, whatever you're doing.

1127
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 2: Is healing you.

1128
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: And so we got the initiative that hunts the healing,

1129
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: h off the song the hurts the healing, and we

1130
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: just documented all that.

1131
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: When is that coming out? Like, do you have a

1132
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 3: date on it yet? Next couple of months.

1133
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 5: September we're going to do a We're going to a

1134
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 5: launch at Rallies Deal September first dubline, and then we're

1135
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,000

00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 5: to Outdoor channel around Thanksgiving.

1138
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 3: Is it done?

1139
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: It's close, It's real close.

1140
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: I love it because it it's very maybe ten percent

1141
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: of us about hunting. Actually, like I had to concentrate

1142
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: think about this. I mean, it's four o'clock in the morning.

1143
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: I set my alarm. I don't have anything to set

1144
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: my alarm for before this set my alarm alarm goes off.

1145
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: I pop up Whi'd eyed bushy to get my coffee,

1146
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: and I get all my clothes on and I ease

1147
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: down to the you know, one hundred yards behind my

1148
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: house and I take the first step on the wrung

1149
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: and there's a little bit of frost on the rung

1150
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: of the ladder, and I would hear that boot kind

1151
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: of crunch on that frost, and I would.

1152
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: Be like, do you need to be doing this? Like

1153
00:59:58,440 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna.

1154
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Fall out of this thing and one of the arrows

1155
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,479
Speaker 1: is gonna go through your neck or something.

1156
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 2: You know, all these fears, And.

1157
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Now I use it in my speaking stuff because it's

1158
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: like stepping into those fears and climbing that ladder one

1159
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: rung at a time, and not in understanding that the

1160
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: deer does not care that you had a stroke.

1161
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: The redbirds don't not to get.

1162
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 1: Too hippie on you, but like the they don't care

1163
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: that you've had a stroke. You're in nature and that's

1164
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: where that's where God is, That's for me, that's where

1165
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: it all is. That's where the healing power of everything

1166
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: is is in that in that scene. So I would

1167
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: concentrate so hard to take me like an hour to

1168
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: climb up, you know, twelve steps to twelve feet on

1169
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: the top of this thing. But the power and the

1170
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: happiness and joy that I got from setting twelve feet

1171
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: above the ground and just washing stuff every day just

1172
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: took my mind off myself. It took my mind off

1173
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't. I mean, I would have detrimental thoughts Bobby, like,

1174
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: are you gonna be able to catch your son? If

1175
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: he falls into lake? He might drown. Your son's gonna drown,

1176
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: you know. Then I would make that real, because what

1177
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: we do is make up stuff for a living. That's

1178
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: what I do. Can you untangle your son's fishing line? Well,

1179
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I'll probably have to have some other guy taking fishing.

1180
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: You ever gonna be able to? You know, James brown

1181
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: it up on stage again? Can you ever have the

1182
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: swagger you used to have?

1183
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 2: And this?

1184
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: And now I know that those things. I know how

1185
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: to battle those, and I know how to tell other

1186
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I know how to tell other people how I battle them,

1187
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: because that's the thing about mental stuff is everybody is different.

1188
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: And I can't tell anybody how to do anything. I

1189
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: can just tell him that how I did it. And

1190
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I understand suicide. I understand that dark hole of that abyss,

1191
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: And that's a good place to be, you know, just

1192
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: empathy for mankind and humans and being out in nature,

1193
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, whether be keeping or hunting or fishing, taking

1194
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: care of somebody else. Besides yourself and I'm not the

1195
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: biggest nurture in the world. I'm so driven that my ambition,

1196
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to achieve something every day, and this injury,

1197
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: amongst the other stuff, just taught me to to just enjoy,

1198
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: enjoy it, keep that ambition and keep that love, but

1199
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But it's it's about it's about other people,

1200
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: and it's about giving.

1201
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

1202
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Bobby Cast.

1203
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 3: We were talking about your music before you came in,

1204
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 3: so I have a couple of music specific questions. So,

1205
01:02:54,760 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 3: low Country, high Road, super rich, super soulful. Do you

1206
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 3: feel like you because again, it definitely feels like Drake

1207
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 3: for sure. But how do you feel like it's been

1208
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 3: modified since the music before this? Because I do feel

1209
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: sonically it's a bit different. I can't really put my

1210
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 3: finger on it, but I don't feel like it sounds

1211
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 3: exactly like Drake White from five years ago. How is

1212
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 3: this project different?

1213
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1214
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think one of the things is

1215
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: independence brings, you know, an independent artist brings a lot

1216
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: of you know, it brings a lot of freedoms in

1217
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, I went and did that

1218
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Low Country. I roe with Jonathan Singleton, who's responsible. You know,

1219
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: he does a lot of work with Luke Calms and

1220
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and he's a dear friend of

1221
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: mine from Jackson, Mississippi.

1222
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: And we just said, hey, let's go down.

1223
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: To to uh Ryan's in Mississippi and let's let's get

1224
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: a band. And I love Nashville, don't get me wrong,

1225
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: but getting out of Nashville was just an idea. I

1226
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: had to go to another record and so we went

1227
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: down there and just and did it. And that's that's

1228
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: that different sonically, you know, sonic sounds, so there's a

1229
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: lot of freedoms and all of that stuff.

1230
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 2: But the record that I released, you.

1231
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Know, right after the stroke, it's called The Optimistic and

1232
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: that was another independent record that that I just I've

1233
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: never stopped making music. Matter of fact, I made a

1234
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: lot more music and and we're you know, we're in

1235
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the process of making another record.

1236
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 3: So well, I don't want to skip over the Scattered

1237
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 3: Smothered covers because those three songs are definitely different than

1238
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 3: if you were to go, hey, Drays gonna cover some songs.

1239
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 3: What do you think he's going to do and listen.

1240
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 3: I've listened to Birds of a Feather five thousand times.

1241
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 3: My wife because she loves Billie Eilish, never really thought

1242
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 3: that'd be a song.

1243
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 2: You do.

1244
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 3: I think. I think it's your version of It's awesome.

1245
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 3: I would not have envisioned that even that version existing,

1246
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 3: but I think you did it. I'll say even the

1247
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 3: word you said it very independent way. But it was

1248
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 3: that song Ring a Fire and Teddy Swim Song was

1249
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 3: why those songs.

1250
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 2: Well, individual reasons for really all of them.

1251
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: But the Billy Ailish song I had never really heard. Obviously,

1252
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: I knew who Billy Eilish was. I never really listened

1253
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: to a lot of her music that her and Phineas made.

1254
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: And then I listened to that song just because I

1255
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: think my nephew had it on at when he's nineteen.

1256
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm listening to it and I'm like, I want you

1257
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: to stay till I'm in the grave. Tell them all

1258
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: all the way dead and buried, you know, tell them

1259
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: in the casket you carry if you go and going

1260
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: like I listened to those lyrics and a lot of

1261
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: times lyric.

1262
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 2: Will hit me.

1263
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: A lot of times the melody will hit me that

1264
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: lyric Bobby like stood out to me, is like, man,

1265
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,919
Speaker 1: this girl, that is a great that's a great written song.

1266
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,439
Speaker 1: If you listen to it, you don't know if it's

1267
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: it's a eulogy or or.

1268
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 3: A like a love or passion or a vow. Yeah, exactly.

1269
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: And so I thought that was super.

1270
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Cool how she in her email way like created you

1271
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was a eulogy or a vow.

1272
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 2: And I was like, man, I'm gonna try this.

1273
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: And I started messing around with it on a guitar,

1274
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: just kind of clicking around, and I just started singing

1275
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: it over and over, and then a couple of days later,

1276
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: you know it. It just kind of kind of happened

1277
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: from there, and I had some people. I mean, obviously

1278
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: it was not a mistake that they were extremely popular songs.

1279
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: We wanted to do that in a way.

1280
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: We wanted to do the Teddy Swims thing because the

1281
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: run's amazing, the vocal. I'm a singer, you know, I've

1282
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: always been a singer. That's always been something I didn't

1283
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: have to really work hard to do. That's kind of

1284
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: the given thing. So the Teddy Swim song was because

1285
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: of the vocal run and just the popularity of it.

1286
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: The Billie Eilish song was just the lyric crushed me.

1287
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: And then I'd had this idea on Johnny on the

1288
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash song, the June June Carter Cash. She wrote

1289
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: that song, and I've always heard that song as a

1290
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: sad song, you know, because I think it would be

1291
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: hell to be married to Johnny Cash.

1292
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 2: And I mean everybody's watched watched.

1293
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: When I say watched, watched, everybody's watched everybody's watched the

1294
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 1: Walk the Line or whatever. And I think she I

1295
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: heard that song is like I fell into hell when

1296
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: I fell in love with him, And so that's the

1297
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: way I recorded it. Just very very sad and not sad,

1298
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: but very in that frame of mind. So I just

1299
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: it's it's fun, man. I love being in the studio.

1300
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: I love making music. I'm gonna do it for the

1301
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: rest of my life. And these were three things that

1302
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: gets us to the you know, I want to create

1303
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: every day, so, you know, being independent, being in the

1304
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: nature that we're at in music, like you can create

1305
01:07:58,280 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 1: every day and you can release a lot.

1306
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's what I'm doing. What's what's up with

1307
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 3: the new music? When when does that start to trickle off.

1308
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 3: I think, not that this isn't new, I should say

1309
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 3: the new music that is yours.

1310
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, this was. This is doing exactly what it

1311
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: was supposed to do. You know the Scatters Mother covers,

1312
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: which being from Arkansas, the name of it, I'm probably

1313
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: prouder than.

1314
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:26,440
Speaker 2: The actual songs.

1315
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: That's that's a great name.

1316
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 2: I tell you.

1317
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you go, when I go into

1318
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: a waffle house, it is my nostalgia.

1319
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,480
Speaker 2: It is my family to go in there. It's so comfortable.

1320
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but coffee always tastes great in

1321
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: their black for me. And I walk in there and

1322
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 1: I walk to the jukebox and I put on I

1323
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: put on something.

1324
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 2: That's that's what we.

1325
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: Do, and I love with me and my band will

1326
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: leave wherever we're leaving that night, and we usually try

1327
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: to get out of there by one o'clock am, two am,

1328
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: and my bus driver always stops at the first waffle

1329
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 1: house out of town and we'll slide in there and

1330
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: some of those three am waffle house band like your

1331
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: band's the only one in there, and you go to

1332
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: the jukebox and you're poking it, like, don't let Matt

1333
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: run the jukebox. You know what he's gonna do. And

1334
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: that's the kind of stuff that makes you a band.

1335
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:25,560
Speaker 1: And so scattered smothered covers is uh obviously a homage.

1336
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: To the the.

1337
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,120

01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: get them diced and topped like I get all of it.

1340
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 3: That's too many words for a title of an album. Yeah,

01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 3: dice tops matters got to get Yeah, you nailed that.

1371
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: kind of funk soul brother thing that's always this is

1372
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: me doing exactly what I want to do and just

1373
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: creating with a with a high frequency and just like

1374
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about it too much.

1375
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 2: You know. It's like I took this adage of like

1376
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 2: there to suck. You ever heard that?

1377
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't matter for me, like perfection to me,

1378
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: my my, that's not what music is for me anymore,

1379
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 1: you know? And I think you know I think there's

1380
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: a lot of perfect stuff out there. Well I don't.

1381
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any great music. To me is

1382
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: not perfect. So it's just like there to suck. Just

1383
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: write it, put it out and it will. It will

1384
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 1: evoke feeling and who it's supposed to, you know, so

1385
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: it'll find who it's supposed to. And uh, that's kind

1386
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: of been my my forte for the last four or

1387
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: five years and trying to put up there's before myself

1388
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,639
