I Mean, the thing is, it's like, I'm 117 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: just a normal guy from Sacramento, California. I'm a farmer. 118 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm usually in high cotton and uh so, you know, 119 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: don't don't ever hesitate to come and say hi.

Because 124 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: back in eight four it peaked number seven on the 125 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: country chart. However, it finally hit number one on a 126 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: chart for the first time ever in July of How 127 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: crazy does that feel to you? A little? A little crazy? 128 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the common thing around Nashville was don't ever 129 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: follow Lee Greenwood, first of all, because he has the anthem. 130 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: And second of all, you know, I can't wait to 131 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: see another crisis so that our song will do well 132 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: on the charts. That's ludicrous. You know. The thing is 133 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: I wrote a song about America to be UH in 134 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: a time of peace and and I wanted to unite 135 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: the country if I possibly could. And here we are, 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: you know where the song has had as much impact 137 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: as it ever has in this release in and UH, 138 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: and I couldn't be more pleased if it serves that purpose. 139 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: We have social unrest and the people confused about the 140 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: direction of the country. Hopefully God Bless of You USA 141 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: will still stand as a uniting thing rather than a 142 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: devising thing. I gotta know when you when you wrote 143 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: this song, did you think, you know this thing has 144 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: a real chance at radio or you know this thing 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: may last for five generations? Like what in the world 146 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: are you thinking as you're writing it and then as 147 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: it starts to blow up? Well, Bobby, you know the 148 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: thing is like I wanted to write this since I 149 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: was a kid, and uh, I lived almost twenty years 150 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: in Nevada and worked alongside some of the most wonderful 151 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: entertainers on the planet, and I just didn't seem to 152 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: have the wherewithal at the time, nor did I have 153 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: a platform to release anything. But you have to realize 154 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: this when I when I wrote God Bless USA, it 155 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: was for our fourth album project You've Got a Good 156 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Luck Coming, which produced a video that did very well 157 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: on YouTube. The first thing CMT was scrambling for with videos, 158 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: and so we released that one even though we had 159 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: a lot of money in it. But Universal made the 160 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: call to have God Bless you would say released as 161 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: a single. It was never intended to do that. My producer, 162 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: Jerry Crushfield, and I talked about the direction of my career, 163 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: about the kind of songs we released, which were many 164 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: of them heartfelt about person to person love and romance 165 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: and and even crisis in their life. And so that's 166 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: what we built our career on, and so God bless 167 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: USA would have been a real diversion from from what 168 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: we were intending as a career path. However, after its 169 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: release in a D three and eighty four, uh, it 170 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: was embraced by the public. It was embraced as a 171 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: career song for me, but but not for quite a 172 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: few years. I mean, USA, as you just pointed out, 173 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: didn't really reach the top of the charts until the 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: whole nation became aware that it was a song for them. 175 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: Was it at any point? Do you remember a moment 176 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: where it kind of crossed over and you're like, wow, 177 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: this thing is actually now not just for folks to 178 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: listen to country music, Like what was that instant or 179 00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: the thing they invited you to do where you're like, 180 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: holy crap, weren't a whole new world now? Well, of course, 181 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: the song of the year in Country Music Association, I 182 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: mean that was a tremendous tribute, but from the c 183 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: M A with a song that never hit number one, 184 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: and yet after that it's sort of dissipated. We moved 185 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: from m c A to Capital Liberty. At the time, 186 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: Garth Brooks was over there at the label, and Derrek 187 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: Crutchfield and I decided to go ahead and move our 188 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: recording career away from m c A and m c 189 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: A put God Bless USA and Catalog. So when two 190 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: thousand one happened, two things were very important. I had 191 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: my own theater for five years in the Smoky Mountains, 192 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: and our last show was um uh two thousand, um 193 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: in in uh in In in the Smoky Mountains. And 194 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: and and we decided not to be in residence there 195 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: anymore and gave up the theater. Had we not done that, 196 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: I would have not been able to travel in two 197 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: thousand one when we had the attack on America. And 198 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: the second thing is I released an album at Capitol 199 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: Now with my producers um agreement that UH I called 200 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: American Patriot, and I wanted to put God Bless USA 201 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: with all of the other American songs. That was a 202 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: lucky stroke, I mean, because its timing couldn't have been better. 203 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: When people then look for God Bless USA after UH eleven, 204 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: the only album they founded on was the Capitol album. 205 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: They couldn't find it at m c A. And that 206 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: album went double platinum, and so it was a it 207 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: was a blessing to me. But um, but I never 208 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: intended it. It just happened. And so after that, of course, 209 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: then USA began to gather their strength and we sang 210 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: it at stadiums and I traveled with Barbara Bush across 211 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: the country to uplift the nation. Uh. It was, it 212 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: was just one thing after another, and then it just became, uh, 213 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: the anthem that the country grasped in order to have unity. 214 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I intended it. Just I couldn't 215 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: have orchestrated it. It just happened. He wrote the song 216 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: if I'm correct, by yourself on the back of your bus. Um. 217 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: My first question, and I'm asking both at the same time, 218 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: how long did it take you to ride it? And too, 219 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: do you still have the paper that you wrote it on? 220 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: Pinned the paper? Um, it took me about an hour. Um. 221 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: We finished some concert in Arkansas and we're heading for 222 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: Texas on the bus. And not normally I would jump 223 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: in the tractor trailer because I'm pretty psyched after a 224 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: concert with you know, five six thousand people, and and 225 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: so I would the only time I could talk to 226 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: my truck drivers is when um, they're driving and and 227 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: we're sleeping. So I would take time after the concert 228 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: and drive it and jump in one of our trucks, 229 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: talked to the driver for an hour and get in 230 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: my bus. And I can remember doing it that night 231 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: and um, and it was just one of those nights. 232 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I guess I'd met some soldiers in our previous show, 233 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: and it just reminded me of the passion I had 234 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: to to to write that song. Um And yes, it 235 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: took me about an hour, but I didn't quite finish 236 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: it till I brought it home and exposed it to 237 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: my producer during Crutchfield. And he's the one that actually, 238 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: uh suggested the Lakes of Minnesota because I wanted to 239 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: put the hills of Tennessee. And of course I could 240 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: have said Seattle in Miami, but you know, I was 241 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: poetic and tried to remind myself of what's important in 242 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: the geography of the United States. Of course New York 243 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: l A. That was a no brainer. Detroit and Houston 244 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: because of Motown and the auto industry and the oil 245 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: in Texas. And I just mentioned Texas twice because it's 246 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: a big state. But but to kind of get the 247 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: geography right. So it only took me a few moments 248 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: once we had spoken, because you've got to realize we 249 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: were doing all the time and there was no place 250 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: to write but on my bus, and no place to 251 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: record but except m c a's uh music recording studio 252 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: there on Music Row. So we laid down a quick 253 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: track and UH and Jerry and I you know, then 254 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: talked about what to do with it. And again it 255 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: was one of those things that we had realized it's 256 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: sort of out of place on that You've got a 257 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: good love coming album, because there's some great songs on 258 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: that on that album. But UM, we said, well let's 259 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: just put it on there because I think that this 260 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: is a person tribute to my country. And he said, 261 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: if you want to do this, we'll do this. And 262 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: so the second question, do I have the original manuscript? No, 263 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: there there were several scribbled versions, and I, you know, 264 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: I took it into the studio and I don't know, 265 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: we probably trash this Stu Good. I didn't look ahead 266 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: a little bit, but um, I've written some handwritten versions 267 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: since then. Um, there was a couple for auction for St. 268 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: Jud's and for UM in rocket Town, Michael Smith's charity 269 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: here in Nashville. But I have two copies for my 270 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: sons that I put in a safe and UM, so 271 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: I once I leave this ear to, they'll have a 272 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: memory of it in my own hand. So here's I'm 273 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: gonna read some stats about you that people may not know. 274 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Eight number one, by the way, which God bless Usa, 275 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: was not a number one. However, the biggest song and 276 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: in years and years and years, however, Somebody's gonna love 277 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: you goes number one in three.

Hearts 282 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: are made to Break night six and morning Ride night six. 283 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: I gotta say, leave all those number ones and you 284 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: have all the CMA Mail Vocalist of the Year a 285 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: D three and eighty four. Do you remember who was 286 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: in the category against you when you won at the 287 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: c m A. The two I remember was Kenny Rogers 288 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: and Ronnie Millsap and I remember standing backstage with Larry 289 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: Gatlin and he said, I think you're gonna win this, 290 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, nah, you know, either Roady go fap 291 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: to be. It was one of the greatest singers ever 292 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: and uh and when they call my name, the only 293 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: regret I have is that I made no notes. And uh. 294 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: You know, when you get in front of the microphone 295 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: and you're honored in front of your industry and all 296 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: the peers are waiting for you to say something really wonderful, 297 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: I just kind of, uh, well, thank you. You know, 298 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: it's it's just, you know, you look back at those 299 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: films and your acceptance space with boy, that was really stupid. 300 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: You know. I would I had more things to say, 301 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: but I couldn't remember until I get off stage, and 302 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: I dang it. Which I remember that there were some 303 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: great pictures as I recalling with Chris Chris Stofferson, and uh, 304 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: I think Janey Fricky won that year and we have 305 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: those pictures and memories. But again, that was my only disappointment. 306 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: You know, nineties countries having a huge resurgence right now. 307 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: All your number ones were in the eighties, and you know, 308 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: maybe eventually the eighties come flying back to because I 309 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: think that was a really it's an underlooked at time 310 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: for the value that it has been for country music. 311 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: And with you, I would ask, because we do this 312 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: thing when we do the Mount Rushmore of favorites, if 313 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: you were to have a out rushmore of eighties country 314 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: artists to you, who were the four that you had 315 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: put up there on that Mount Rushmore. Barbara Mandrell Um. 316 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: I figured she was kind of my counterpart in entertainment 317 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: because she was just a great entertainer. I remember giving 318 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: her the People's Choice Award in St. Louis that years 319 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: she shared it with Barbara streisand I wrote a song 320 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: that inspired our duet album called We Were Meant for 321 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: each Other. Uh. The hit song from that album was 322 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: to Me, written by Mike Read so definitely Barbara Mandrell UH. 323 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: In the eighties, no doubt Kenny Rodgers, I mean good Grief. 324 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 1: We toured with him UH for a couple of three years, 325 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: along with t Graham Brown and Sawyer Brown, and we 326 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: were at the opening acts even in Canada, all across Canada. 327 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: So I admired Kenny so very much and and his 328 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: impact on my life was was terrific. Um let's see eighties. Um, 329 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, the oak Ridge Boys as a group, I 330 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: have to tell you, and still my very close friends, 331 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: had such a movement from gospel to country, and a 332 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: lot of the gospel people's kind of were like disappointed 333 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: that they had long hair and they were playing music 334 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: with more of a beat to it. And but their 335 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: success was undeniable and they blended those two genres together 336 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: with country and gospel, and they're still my very close 337 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: friends today. Um. Other than that, I you know, I 338 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: have to look back certaintly. George Straight has has survived, 339 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: and Reba McIntyre and we were, by the way, on 340 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: the same label, all four of us, Reba, Barbara, Me 341 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: and George Strait and and the oak Ridge Boys. So 342 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: it's just it was a great stable gym focus on 343 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: put together at m c A and uh. And we 344 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: kind of patterned ourselves after the oak Ridge Boys in 345 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: the way they toured, because they knew when to reduce 346 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: their overhead and when they stopped working stadiums, and otherwise 347 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: we probably wouldn't survived economically. Is it true that you 348 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: bought your first bus from Earle Haggard back in the eighties, 349 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: Well almost it was Haggris bus, but um it belonged 350 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: to his wife who won it in the divorce. And 351 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: I know that sounded rather silly, but I actually sent 352 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: my driver out to pick up the bus in California 353 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: and drive it to me. And that was our first 354 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: bus before I ever bought a band bus, and then 355 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: my personal coach, and we were running three buses and 356 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: two tractor trailers then finally uh, And it's it's interesting 357 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: that I don't think I looked at the economics. I 358 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: just looked at the impact. We were carrying our own production, 359 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: sharing some of the time with the Judge because they 360 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: were my opening act for a while, and then they 361 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: also had tremendous uh impact on the business, and so 362 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: we toured together for a while. One of our last 363 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: shows was at the Fox Theater and Roy Orbison was 364 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: the star attraction. We were there four nights, sold out. 365 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: He got sick the second night we were there, and 366 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: the Judge and I finished the engagement, just the two 367 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: of us. But you know, running those kind of buses, 368 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: we just kept that that first bus for an awful 369 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 1: long time. Him and I finally sold it. I have 370 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: two questions for you, and then we're gonna wrap this up, 371 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: and I appreciate your time so much. The first one is, 372 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: I know you visited the White House. What is something 373 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: about the Oval Office that most people wouldn't know unless 374 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: they've been there. Um. I think it's size. Um, as 375 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: many of the TV shows have depicted in the Oval 376 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: Office that looks bigger than it is. It's really not 377 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: that large. Um. And the second thing is it has 378 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: several doors. I don't know that people recognize it as 379 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: like three or four doors that are and I don't 380 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: know if they're made for escape routes. Assist. It's a 381 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: place where the Secretary of Defense can walk in or 382 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: his wife can walk in. The first lady, Um, I 383 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: guess that was it. Of course, I performed it at 384 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: the West Wing for the Reagan administration when Bush was 385 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: vice president, and that's when I met him and sang 386 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: it to inaugurations on both at the Lincoln Memorial for 387 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: Bush forty one and for our current President Trump. A 388 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: final question is about Charlie Daniel else. I know you 389 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: love Charlie very much. How did you guys become friends? 390 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because you rarely see anybody. Um. 391 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: That is a big star in Nashville, and at the 392 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: c m A Awards, it's usually confusing and and there's 393 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: so many people, so many fans. Uh, you don't really 394 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: have a lot of time backstage, although I always made 395 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: a hit a point to get pictures with Charlie backstage 396 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: because he's just this imposing figure he was. He was 397 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: so gentle. He's just a big gentle bear. And uh, 398 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: Emmy had hugg in just say how things are gone? 399 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, at least we have a minute or two 400 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: here there, but um, you know, we just and dearly 401 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: miss him. Um. He was such a great figure for 402 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: country music. Always wore that big white hat and and uh, 403 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: everybody has one song you know that they're known for. 404 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: Now Charlie had many many but the Devil without the Georgia, 405 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: of course he played that. Uh every every moment that 406 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: he was on stage to the end of his life 407 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: was as good as he was at the beginning playing 408 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: the fiddle. So I had great respect. And yes, I 409 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: generally met Charlie at a truck stop when we would 410 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: be on the road touring, and we do that with 411 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: a lot of acts, and you see their bus over there, 412 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: so we jump out and and go and meet with 413 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, the artists and get on their bus or 414 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: whether they get on my bus. And that's a cool 415 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: moment when we can meet somebody like that. Well, Lee, 416 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. Congratulations on the new number one, 417 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: which is crazy to say because that song is such 418 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: a staple and just our American culture at this point. 419 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: And it's great to talk to you and thank you 420 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: for spending a little bit of your day with me.

Thank you have a great day 431 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: of my friends. So Eddie is here to join me 432 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: in this next segment. I saw a story on the 433 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: rap dot com about famous musician conspiracy theories, one of 434 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: the most recent ones that I've seen lately was the 435 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: Joe Joe Diffy and he had um that he didn't 436 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: have coronavirus. I have not heard of this. So he 437 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: died from coronavirus complications, yes, and then everyone was like, no, 438 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: he died something else. And so it was weird because 439 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: where did these conspiracies even come from. So Joe Diffy, 440 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: who I really liked as a person, who died in 441 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Nashville March twenty nine after he tested positive for coronavirus. 442 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: He was sixty one. In the days following his death, 443 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: Facebook and Twitter, posing as Internet salutes, said that he 444 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: had either lung cancer or that he had a lot 445 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: of other things. I don't even want to get into 446 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: because it's not true. So his widow comes out and 447 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: says no. And as a matter of fact, I knew 448 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: a nurse that worked with him before he passed away, 449 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: but nowhere, well, I don't know he was in the 450 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: hospital from it. And so I would see this and 451 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: I would go, ma, in, they're just making this up? 452 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: So what other crap? Are people just making up a lot? 453 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Because I do start after a while, the occasional conspiracy 454 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: theory gets me to go because every conspiracy theory can't 455 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: be wrong. I think most are. Most are supposed to 456 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: be wrong, but every one of them can't be wrong. 457 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: And you gotta understand, even just as tragic as some 458 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: of these are, people have a fun good time making 459 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: these things up, Like they just love making up conspiracy 460 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: theories and seeing if they catch fire and watch it 461 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: burn if so. Um, you can talk about the Elvis 462 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: one that Elvis isn't dead. Oh yeah, that's been one 463 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: for a long time, and I mean I kind of 464 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: I believe it. Sometimes it's one of those where like 465 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: I can't prove it's not right, you know, because they 466 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: sometimes do have pictures of Elvis, you know, in another 467 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: that's not someone that looks like Elvis. Uh. There's also 468 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: the theory of that his gravestone is misspelled. His middle 469 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: name Aaron Erin, has only one a, not two or 470 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: something like that. So I mean that also covers them 471 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: with a theory of oh, it's that's not really him. 472 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: We tricked you, it's the wrong Errand there was also 473 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: because the corner diagnosed him of cardiac arrhythmia, which cannot 474 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: be determined in the dead body. Interesting, you didn't do 475 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: you know that part I did not know that part. 476 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: And they say there are rumors he was sweating in 477 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: his casket, proof that the figure was made out of wax. 478 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: And then there's the curious fact that the autopsy, and 479 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: then there was a curious fact that his autopsy was 480 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: placed under a fifty year still meaning this, so you 481 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: can't you, no one can investigate it. But again, if 482 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: it's somebody super famous, you want to put a seal. Yes, 483 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: And I think with each of these will say do 484 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: we believe it? Okay? Okay, by the way, Joe diff Fee, 485 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: do you believe the conspiracy theory that it was something 486 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: other than coronavirus? No? I don't either, because that firsthand knowledge, 487 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: Elvis isn't dead. What do you think. I believe that 488 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: there's a chance that he's not dead. They suggest that 489 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: he had become fed up with fame, fame and was 490 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: in bad health, so he faked his own death in 491 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: order to get back to a simpler way of life. Okay, 492 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: I have another theory to that. Okay, So I watched it. 493 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't a documentary. It was some kind of like 494 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: it was a movie where it had true footage of 495 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: him during his Vegas rehearsals and it's a whole movie 496 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: on it, you know. And he hangs out with these 497 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: mafia guys, the Memphis Mafia, real mafia dudes, and there's 498 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: footage of him and they kind of treat him like crap, 499 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: like like they're all there, the dudes trying to work. 500 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: Elvis is on stage doing a sound check and these 501 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: guys are just drinking in the ballroom like Helly sing 502 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: this song, just heckling him and He's like, okay, guys, 503 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: all right enough, I'm trying to work here. And to me, 504 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, these guys really had him, like they 505 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: had a good control of Elvis. It's a scene like 506 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: it so to me, my theory is that he was 507 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: two in with that mob. He was tired of the fame. 508 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: He's like, I need to disappear. Well, there is a 509 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: theory that he was forced to go into witness protection. 510 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: A man bought a plane ticket to Buenos Areas under 511 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: the name John Burrows and alias that Elvis Presley used 512 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: for hotel reservations. Wow, now here's the thing. If you 513 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: were going to do that, would you use the same 514 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: name though that you people knew you had used under hotel, 515 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: but they probably found that out later. Like what you know, 516 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: you probably have a name you used under hotels? Yeah, 517 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: like you know, maybe you know, so you think you're 518 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: safe with that name, and then later these two managers 519 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: or assistant managers that you worked with are like, no, 520 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: that was his name. Okay. Do you believe the Elvis 521 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: Pressley conspiracy theory? Do you believe it that he's not dead? 522 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: I believe there's a chance that he's not dead, or 523 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't dead then and maybe he has died now. 524 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, I still think he's alive. But he'd be 525 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: like eighties something, right. It's someone with that bad of health. 526 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: You don't think you think they're gonna live in their eighties. 527 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Once he was a little chubby, No, he got pretty fat. 528 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: Later on Mike holds, Elvis would he be he would 529 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: have been eighty five. Will how Old's Willie him and 530 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: Willie will be chilling right now. Absolutely, I'm gonna Elvis 531 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: is dead. Wow, No, man, he's living. Just what you say, 532 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: Buenos Aires. I believe they're not for a bit. I'm 533 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: not joking. I believe there's a chance that he could 534 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: be in South America. Absolutely. Hank Williams haunts the Opery. 535 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: Some visitors believe that Hank Williams still haunts the Grand 536 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: ol Opry despite being banned months before his death. Others 537 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: swear a mysterious man in a gray outfit watches rehearsals 538 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: from a balcony, only to vanish before showtime. A creepier 539 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: story has Civil War soldiers haunting the Ernest Tub record shop. 540 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: But we'll stay on the Hank in the Opry, Okay, 541 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Mr Auprey, Well, I work there. I'm there every week, 542 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: per formed there fifteen times. Probably are they talking about 543 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: the new opery house or it's just show been at 544 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: them both. Never seen a figure up in the stand, 545 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: Never even heard anyone there that works talk about it. 546 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: Have you looked for him? No? But I don't know. 547 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe this. I'm not a big believer the 548 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: ghosts are haunting, and if they are, we can't see 549 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: them anyway, right, I'm not a believer that some ghosts 550 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: that looks like their human shell is bouncing around up there. 551 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: So no, I don't believe that one. Uh see, I 552 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: don't believe it. But see I have to start thinking too, man, 553 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: that like when I die, I do want to be 554 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: part of certain things that I loved down here on earth. 555 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: And if he loved the operation, he loved country music 556 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: and he wanted to be there in his little gray suit. 557 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: It sounds like something we'd want to do. Huh. You 558 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: can do any operation show you wanted. If there's an afterlife, 559 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: he could probably make up your own. Yeah, the greatest 560 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: line of ever. I'm not going to believe that one. 561 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: Did Paul McCartney die in nineteen sixty six? Now we 562 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: talked about Elvis. There's a conspiracy theory too about Paul 563 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: McCartney from the Beatles. Um, did he died? Yes? Or no? No? 564 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: You don't think so too. Huh, he did not die. 565 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: He's not dead. M paul as still continues to make 566 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: music and I don't think anyone can replicate that. Well. 567 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: So in sixties six was the first time he was 568 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: rumored to die, but then he's died a couple of 569 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: times since, because he's died more times. Yeah. Um. British 570 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: radio DJ talked about how the Beatle had been killed 571 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: in a car crash. It had been replaced by a 572 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: look alike because it's worth so much money. Among the 573 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: bits of evidence on the cover of Abbey Road. He's 574 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: not wearing shoes like a corpse. Although they were pretty hippy, 575 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't They don't have to wear shoes the rest 576 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: of them. Mark, but who cares? The VW Beatle license 577 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: played in the background, says twenty eight. I f because 578 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: Paul would have been twenty eight if he were still alive. 579 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: That's awesome. And if you play the end of I'm 580 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: So Tired backwards, John says, Paul is dead. Man miss him, 581 00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: miss him? Miss him? I hear is dead, Paula is dead. 582 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: No missing Paul dead. Okay, that's just them finding a 583 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: clip where they could. I mean, if you try, it's 584 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: trying to hear it. It's like green wig or pep 585 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: or whatever that there's two sounds. Are that you hear, yeah, 586 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: whatever you're whatever you're trying to hear, you hear bones 587 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: and also too, if we tried to, like right now, bones, 588 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: we we want to make this up. There's no way 589 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: that we can find the words to say, like, all right, 590 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: I want you to say this, but we're backwards. It's 591 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: gonna say Eddie is an idiot. Okay, if I were 592 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: to do Eddie is and idiot?

He's not. Paul McCartney's alive. Have you 598 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: met him? No, I've seen him. Have I ever talked 599 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: to him? I have ever done an interview on the phone. 600 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: I don't think I have be amazing. I think it 601 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: would be cool. I've heard about you Grea interviews with him. 602 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: How its turns down a bunch. I don't know that 603 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: I would ask him anything that other folks haven't, Okay, 604 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure everyone's asking it, but I wouldn't 605 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: go deep on the beatles, like would you talk about 606 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: maybe he ever goes to the drive through? Oh yeah? 607 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: Or how does when he gets away? Like where does 608 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: he know he can go? Or is it like can 609 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: you go into the busier city the better because there's 610 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: just if you're walking on the streets in New York City, 611 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: there's so many people, you don't nobody looks like anybody 612 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: like does Is it the opposite of what you would 613 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: think where you think he goes somewhere where there's not 614 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, but then everybody sticks out to you. 615 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: But if you go somewhere where is packed with people, 616 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: nobody us anybody. I wonder if he ever thought that 617 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: when he got older, people would just forget about him 618 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: and not remember him, because that's not the case. He's 619 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: still very, very famous. Mama cast choked on a sandwich. 620 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: Yes you know the band she's from.

Well that's 623 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: that's a better version A false pretty autopsy comment provided 624 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: the news media included New York Times, and they spread 625 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: the rumor that cass Elliott died after choking on a 626 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: hand sandwich. She was actually stricken about heart failure at 627 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: age thirty two. That sucks, man, because I know her 628 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: is dying from the hands too. I heard that when 629 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: I was because she's overweight, and it was mean to 630 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: do and I believe it, and I did too, and 631 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't rise it right now exactly. I learned right 632 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: now that's not true. How was this many years old? 633 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: When I learned that Mama cast did not choke out, 634 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 1: and it's not fair, it isn't That sucks? Yeah, that sucks. 635 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: What about the Michael Jackson and LaToya Jackson are the 636 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: same person? Not? You don't ever think I never thought that. 637 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. But I love that, Yeah, 638 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: because they do kind of look the same, because he 639 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: started to look more feminine with surgery and and she 640 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 1: almost looked a little masculine. Um. The additional Avril Levin's 641 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: is interesting because I've seen this one a lot. So 642 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: after her album let Go, which had this song here 643 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: Skaterboy on it, they say she was replaced by someone 644 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: named Melissa Vandela, who is slightly taller than the original 645 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Avril Dead giveaway and fake Avril started talking about it 646 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: and the songs get a little different. Um, Apparently she died. 647 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,959 Speaker 1: She died, right, and it was the same thing where 648 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: they were losing money on her. And I read a 649 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: lot about this, and I went into the even a 650 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: rabbit hole on this one day and I started to go, 651 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't believe it, but there's a 652 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: possibility because there's a lot of money to be you made, 653 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: and a lot of money to continue making and let's 654 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: say her family. I was like, well, you know, we're 655 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: sad she's dead, but we'd like to keep making money 656 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: in her honor and other songs and this other Melissa. 657 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: But then I met Avril Levine because she played Dancing 658 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: with the Stars one of the episodes when I was there, Okay, 659 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: you met her currently, not before death right, And I 660 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: went up to her and I walked by as a 661 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: joke and I said, Melissa, I did, and I didn't 662 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: look at her face. I just said it out loud. Melissa. 663 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: She never even turned and look because if she would, 664 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: if she would about to come on the air, she goes, 665 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: what what did you just say? What me? Oh? No, sorry, 666 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: that's hilarious. And then I went up, made a loop 667 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: around because she was sitting backstage at a makeup place. 668 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: Made a loop around, and when I introduced myself, she's 669 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: really nice. We didn't have a lot of contact, but 670 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I sure walked by. I didn't look at him, was 671 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: I said, Melissa, and nothing. Well that's it. You can't 672 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: argue with that. Yeah, her. When when scatter Boy came out, 673 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: I was like, just the greatest song. It's the deepest 674 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: song I've ever heard. Yeah, like, there are a few 675 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: of those in my life. Don't take the girl. When 676 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: I was like a kid, I was like, oh my god, 677 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: this is the deepest song I've ever heard. That's not 678 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: the one that I really liked from her was well, 679 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't my favorite. My favorite aprill of bean song 680 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: is a slow one. Which one it wasn't complicated. That 681 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: was the first one complicated. That was the first. Yeah, 682 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't remember. Lord is lying about her age. There's 683 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory that Lord is actually much older. Gosh, 684 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: she does act old. Apparently she's thirty five years old. 685 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: But but that's not surprising, Like that could be real, right, 686 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if it is or not, but 687 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: but don't don't believe it. Artists. I could believe it, 688 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: because don't a lot of artists do that. They may 689 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: be flub it by a little bit. There was the 690 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: one Australian actress, the comedian who did that. She went 691 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: lower Rebel Wilson lied about her age for a while. 692 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: He was older than she said she was. I just 693 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: believe stuff like that, like because it's entertainment. But none 694 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: of it. She was like sixteen when she launched. If 695 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: you were twenty four and you were claiming to be 696 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: twenty one. That's different, not sixteen thirty five. There are 697 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: some thirty five year olds that can pass as really 698 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: young young young people, not you. Stevie Wonder isn't blind. 699 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that would be terrible. And he's been pretending 700 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 1: as a publicity stunt an think about that. I feel 701 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: like I would lose trust in people in general if 702 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 1: that wasn't true. Yeah, I don't believe that one either. 703 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: Phil Collins let a man drown because of in the 704 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: Air Tonight. That's supposedly with that we've talked about this 705 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: for a principal hypothesis involves Phil collins inability to save 706 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: a drowning man based on a key line from the song, 707 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: and one version of a friend falls out of a boat, 708 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: and another Collins witnesses the tragedy from far away and 709 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: cannot come from the swimmer's aid. In many of these theories, 710 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: there was someone closer to the horrific events, but he 711 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: refuses to help anyway. They're like, you must have I 712 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: don't believe that. Yeah, I don't believe it. Jay Z 713 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: is a time traveler or a vampire. That sounds like 714 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: something someone wrote, just doing stupid fiction, like make it 715 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: a little more believable. If you're gonna that's not worth 716 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: our time. That's the one that's really comes out. We 717 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: sit here and this gets played back like ten years 718 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: from now, once we find out jay Z actually was 719 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: that a big one. Taylor Swift is an agent of 720 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: the Illuminati. I listened to a podcast and read a 721 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: whole thing about the Illuminati. I don't believe it because 722 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: they're not there in theory. It's a real but it's 723 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: not what you mean by that. There's not really a 724 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: group called the Illuminati. Else, it's who they consider to 725 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: be these people that have all this power. Are these 726 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: different groups that literally have a lot of power, But 727 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: the Illuminati people are wearing robes and going into a 728 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: cave and having sex with a donkey. That's just me 729 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: on Saturday. Sounds familiar. I am fascinated with the Illuminati. 730 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: People have said that I'm in the Illuminati. Yes, I've 731 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: heard that from multiple people. They're like, are you And 732 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: if I was, I would be doing this whole bit 733 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: exactly like I'm doing now. Yes, so we can't say 734 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: that it's not true, right, So I was fascinated with it. 735 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: So I decided to research it, and what did you find? 736 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: It started off as a small thing that broke off 737 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,919 Speaker 1: from the Freemasons. They would go to the Free Mason 738 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: Secret Society and then the Freemasons. But they weren't like 739 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: secret and dark. They just were groups that met but 740 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: no one knew. I guess one made them secret is 741 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: that no one knew who was part of it. That 742 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: was it. Sometimes they did, but you didn't know what 743 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: they were talking about. Okay, but we're talking about seventeen sixteen, 744 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: seventeen hundreds, and the Illuminati was a small group and 745 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: they ended up dying out as well, Oh they don't 746 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: exist anymore. Well, no, they made now and some but 747 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: the Illuminati that we know, they kind of fizzled out. 748 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: The guy who created it wasn't that good at creating 749 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: a secret society that would last and flourish. Because you 750 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: think about, you know the idea of that's phenomenal. I've 751 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 1: thought about doing it here in Nashville. I mean, honestly, 752 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: God with like a few different people in big air, 753 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 1: influential people, and we just quietly dominate, moved, moved the strings, 754 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: pulled the strings on everything. Don't tell anybody about it. 755 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: Very possible. Still up for it, guys, they're listening. Who 756 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: would I put in the secret Society? I would put 757 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: in in Nashville? Yeah. First of all, you want to 758 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: get an artist that people would never believe would be 759 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: in it, but could also control some stuff. Luke Bryan, 760 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: I feel like you may tell people just drunk one night. 761 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: Come here seriously, between you and me, here's a picture 762 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: of us at our meeting. We are having sex with 763 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: the dog you see. Oh wait, that's secret. Like Keith 764 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, he's so connected. Keith Urban, who's connected in 765 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: lots of ways in the actor world to like Scott Borchetta, 766 00:40:51,920 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: the record the guy me um Brian Donald. Who is 767 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: that Live Nation? But it's a big promoter. Maybe who 768 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 1: in the publishing song right? Did somebody have song right? 769 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: The publishing world? And then somebody in the management work? 770 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: What about an athlete? What's he gonna do about the 771 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: music the national music community? Oh you just wanted to music, 772 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: not just the world community. Yeah no, no, no, just 773 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: here we control pull the strings. They would none of 774 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: the times would. Why are you really thinking about this? Hey? No, No, 775 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. This 776 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: is not something that comes to me. Now, Hey, you 777 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: know what you should do. You should do a secret 778 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: recording with you and Keith, Sayking Keith, this is what 779 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: I want to do. And I want to hear the reaction. Hey. 780 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: And if he says yes, we don't even play it never. 781 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: But if he doesn't and so if you never hear it, yeah, 782 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: maybe he's in you know what to do. But if 783 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: he says no, one he laughs in your face, I 784 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: want to hear it. No, no, probably you probably lose 785 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 1: his trust forever. The CIA killed Bob Marley, I could 786 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: see that. Yes, yes, Bob Marley. He was shot at, attempted, 787 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: people attempted to kill him. I think a couple of times. 788 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: One of them is pretty famous. Um, he just got 789 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: very political. Do you know how? He died cancer a 790 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: toe injury from a soccer match, term occasion under his nail. 791 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: Then he diagnosed with yes, malignant melanoma. He refused to 792 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: have the toe amputate amputated and then it spread those bodies. Yes, 793 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: but but he he did get shot at, and they 794 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: like they tried to kill him. But I think at 795 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: that point he was just getting too political. He was 796 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: trying to. At that time, Jamaica was just split, very 797 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: very dramatically between two parties, and he was trying to 798 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: get in the middle of it, and they wanted him dead. 799 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: Conspiracy theorists say that the CIA set up their sites 800 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: on Marley, who's growing influence and message of peace went 801 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: contrary to its goals. The son of former CIA director 802 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: William Colby, reportedly gave Marley a pair of boots adapted 803 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: with poison coated copper wire near the Toe Wow. Unbelieve 804 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: Marley tried on the boots and inadvertently sealed his demise. 805 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 1: Others believe the CIA had already tried to take Marley 806 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: out with sharpshooters who missed their target. Marley had, in 807 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: fact survived the nineteen seventy six assassination attempt by three 808 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 1: gunmen at his home in Jamaica. You believe I don't 809 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: know about the boot. The boot sounds weird that one. 810 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: I could almost think about leaning into a little bit research. No, 811 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: I'm talking about just now check out after that. I'm 812 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: not thinking about it again. But it's when things get political, 813 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 1: people do crazy things that we never think would happen. Yeah, 814 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: Hotel California is about devil worship. I know what it's about. 815 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: Have you ever dissected that song. I've never read book 816 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: where we were on We were on a we're in 817 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: the van, we were touring, and we all had the 818 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: big discussion. You might have been headphones and tuned out, 819 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: but we talked about it. It's it's a it's a whorehouse. Yeah, okay, 820 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean, and I've read books from the guy who 821 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: wrote it or was one of the writers, and I 822 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: don't think Felder. Yeah, not not double worshiping couple A 823 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: couple more here day Off girl never broke his leg. 824 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: Remember in the Food Fighters context, a quickly spreading rumor 825 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: charged him with faking his injury. That's a dumb one. 826 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: But Dave's kind of dramatic though, Like, wouldn't you see 827 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: him doing something like this just to kind of be like, 828 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: this is good, this is gonna be funny. He is dramatic, 829 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: but I don't think so not breaking a leg. You 830 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: can do something better than that. I agree, you can 831 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 1: do better that. Finally, Jack and Meg White are actually 832 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: brother and sister. They do look alike. They were married. 833 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: One of the band's early gimmicks was that they portrayed 834 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 1: themselves as innocent musical siblings. The truth was that Mr 835 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: Jack Gillis married Miss Meg White September, ended up taking 836 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: her name to become the world famous Jack White. They 837 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: divorced in two thousand, by which time the truth came out. 838 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 1: So those are your Oh yeah, I don't believe they 839 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,839 Speaker 1: were brother and sister. Okay, so so they're not brother 840 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: and sister. He rocked s andl this past weekend to 841 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: watch Club. I didn't see it. Morgan Waller was supposed 842 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: to do it, and then he did it. Did you 843 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: see it, Mike? I did it? Watch it? Killed Dead? 844 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: Huh like a two day notice. Jack Whites a rock 845 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: star I've seen. I saw the White Stripes live one time, 846 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: and it is. It was pretty amazing what they did. 847 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: They were really two people on stage and it sounded 848 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,959 Speaker 1: like a full band. Oh you saw the literal White 849 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: White Stripes, which Jack just her on drums and playing 850 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: guitar and singing. Unbelievable. I never say anything like it. 851 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 1: Two people. Wow. I've seen him playing other bands, racking tours, 852 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: the racking tours in Austin like a c all live, 853 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: and he hasn't hit another band too that he was 854 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: in for a while, but I think he's been in 855 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: like eight bands. He was in the Raging Idiots for 856 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: a while. He was everything. Because there's xylophone player. All right, 857 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 1: that's it, Eddie. You have a podcast called the Sore Losers. 858 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: The Sore Losers. There's big drama right now too. I mean, 859 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: I might be getting out of our fantasy team. What 860 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: was that about? I saw the tweet. What happened? Well, 861 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,760 Speaker 1: we have a fantasy league with a bunch of listeners 862 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: that we've done, and they're one of the people in 863 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: the league. They took a bunch of defenses, added them 864 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: to their team, and then dropped them before the game started, 865 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: so that no one could have defenses because because the Corona, 866 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: there are a bunch of games being postponed and postponed 867 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 1: and things like that that you really last minute are like, 868 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, my team is not playing. I need 869 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 1: a defense. This guy locked everyone. So there were two 870 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: people that had no defenses playing because of that. I 871 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: was one of them. I really, he was brilliant. I 872 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: would have done the same thing. It's not against the rules, 873 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: and he's actually hurting himself by not picking up other 874 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: players and holding out of them. That's a strategic If 875 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: you would have been able to think about and do it, 876 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: you would have done it too. My my part of this, though, 877 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: my thoughts is that that's not the league. You want 878 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 1: to be parted. You don't want to be out smart 879 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: but hurt, because I would have done the same thing. 880 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: I am very but hurt. You know, you learned from 881 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: it and do it next time. So now I think 882 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: everyone is going to start doing that every week, start 883 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: locking players, okay, but then they're not gonna be able 884 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: to hold other players on there. If it were a 885 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: normal year, bones and they weren't games just being postponed, 886 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: same opportunity to be strategic and do things too, and 887 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 1: it's not like they have options that you don't. I 888 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: fear that everyone's gonna start doing that. The whole league's 889 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: gonna be pissed, and they're not going to pick up 890 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: players on the waiver wire that have chances to blow 891 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: up for them. You know, I really thought you'd be 892 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: on my side. No, no, no, I think I'm on 893 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,799 Speaker 1: the side of the smart person who went by the rules. 894 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: If you quit because of this, you are a loser 895 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: and you're just a baby, you just didn't think about it. 896 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm a sore losers?

Well, 918 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about this podcast for a second, because you know, 919 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: it's a it's a scripted series, it's a musical podcast. 920 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: Can you describe to our listeners right now you like 921 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 1: what this podcast is because I get a lot of 922 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: questions about it. Sure, it's um, well, it's just scripted 923 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 1: country music series, but that it's really from the songwriter's 924 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: perspective and what unfolds in the writer's room or in 925 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: the songwriter's world to create the music that you hear 926 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: on country radio. And so what kind of storylines do 927 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: we follow in this So our main character, Charlotte Sales, 928 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: who I play, it's it's her journey from leaving home 929 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: and moving to Nashville and just taking a chance on herself. 930 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: So we follow her a journey and and hear her 931 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:22,760 Speaker 1: go through the highs and lows of um maneuvering around 932 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: the writer's rooms of Nashville. And then she lives there 933 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,800 Speaker 1: with her boyfriend Davis played by Rob May's. And you know, 934 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,439 Speaker 1: I think, like any couple moving to a big city, 935 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: there's there's always going to be some drama and some 936 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: complications and so we hear that. Um. But really one 937 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: of my favorite scenes is listening to the scenes of 938 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: like Billy Bob and Miranda and hearing the dynamic of 939 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: what those conversations are like between artists and songwriter and 940 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: and producer just sitting behind the board and it's like 941 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 1: it really makes you feel like you're in the room 942 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: and kind of like close to like Miranda's songwriting world. 943 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: And that's one of my favorite Those are from my 944 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,720 Speaker 1: favorite scenes to hear. So how did you get Miranda 945 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,399 Speaker 1: Lambert involved? I know she's an executive producer as well. 946 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: That's that was a pretty big gut hunt. Oh huge, Yeah. 947 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean we like when Nicole galian is, you know, 948 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: when we were writing A Champion, it just we just 949 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: there was so much of um. We were both just thinking, 950 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, just to be this this sounds like 951 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: a Miranda song and um, and so we had I 952 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: had my heart set on Miranda from day one. Um, 953 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it would happen or not. But then, um, 954 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think sitting with the scripts and some 955 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 1: of the songs that were already written, it gave her 956 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: a chance to you know, red through everything, and I 957 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 1: think she really, you know, felt like she she related 958 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: to the character as well, being from Texas and and 959 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: um taking that chance on herself of you know, pursuing 960 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: a career in music, and so I think that's that's 961 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: really how how we connected on this project. How long 962 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 1: ago did you start writing music for this? Oh? Gosh, well, UM, 963 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 1: this is so six of the songs were not written, 964 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: Like six of the songs were already written, and I 965 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 1: just had them kind of like sitting on a shelf. 966 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: And I had been coming out to Nashville, UM, doing 967 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: writing sessions. But two songs that Nicole and I wrote 968 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: for this project, we wrote those about a year and 969 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: a half ago. No, a little over a year ago. 970 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: Year and a half ago.
