Speaker 1: he and then he goes from yes, beautiful, extremely disting,

92
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: and that's the golf. I just I just never got

93
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: into it, dude, I love it. I saw him play

94
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: once solo guy in in south By, Southwest, him and

95
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: a piano. It was beautiful. Imagine he's pretty fantastic. I mean,

96
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: listen to this part of it. So this is beauty

97
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and it gives metal heads a reason to like slow

98
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: melodic piano music because he definitely takes it out there. Hey,

99
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: what do you think about Garth Brooks revisiting Chris Gaines Eddie?

100
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I didn't like. I didn't like

101
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Chris Gaines. I want to. I don't know about many,

102
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: one of many or many of one a few. I

103
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: didn't like it at the beginning. I was a huge

104
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Garth Garth fan and I didn't get it. And I

105
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: still don't really get it, even because it didn't happen.

106
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: So I just don't. I'll never get into it. He

107
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: created a movie character and this was the music, and

108
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: he was an Australian singer, pop singer, right, and he'd

109
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: been in a car wreck. Is that part of it?

110
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I think? So he'd been an accident, or at least

111
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: an accident, and so it was his life story that

112
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: they never made. The movie never came about, but they

113
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: put the music out. I thought the music was fantastic. Yeah,

114
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: But the problem was Garth had to explain it all

115
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: the time. And if you like you just did, how

116
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: many years later? If you have to explain something like

117
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: he did, SNL is both and he's kind of explaining

118
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: it or nobody knows who it is, it's hard um.

119
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: But here is Garth talking about it on Inside Studio G.

120
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: When it comes to Chris Gaines, I can't tell you

121
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: anything except you're gonna have it in every format you

122
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: can possibly imagine. It's coming in vinyl okay, and you're

123
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna have Chris Gaines stuff nobody's ever heard for either.

124
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: It's all coming. So but the Chris Gaines thing, you

125
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: just gotta handle it with kid gloves and put it together.

126
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: But it's coming. I I love that project, and so

127
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited that there's I don't even know how to

128
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: say it. I'm just excited me too. I was the

129
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: only one I liked it. Back in the day. All

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: my friends were like, why does he have blue hair?

131
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: This is stupid? Why did Garth dies hair blows like,

132
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: it's not Garth, that's Chris Gaines. Don't get it mixed

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: explaining character. They're like, we'll explain it to me. And

134
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: I was like, Chris Stapleton has rescheduled the first dates

135
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: of All American Road Show, just made a few adjustments.

136

150
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: it brother for some reason. I like their music and

151
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: anytime I hear him like a Santa commercial or something like,

152
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: I know it's them. But they did a documentary a

153
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: few years back, and I tried to watch it and

154
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: it was a little too serious me like they they

155
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: took themselves very serious. There was a moment that I

156
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: caught in the documentary where like they were in the

157
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: middle of the session and they were just not feeling

158
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: it and one of them had to run out and

159
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: they all had to check on him outside and he said,

160
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm just not it's too emotional right now. And they

161
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: talked about it and then they went in and it's like,

162
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: what is happening? Like I didn't get it and it

163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: was just a little too much for me. So personally

164
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: never really get it. Got into the av It Brothers.

165
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: But musically I like the sound. I like how they

166
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: like their music. I like their sound too. I guess

167
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I just don't love it so much. I pursue a

168
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Vett Brothers albums if it shows up because it's often

169
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: in playlist because it's like other things I listened to

170
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: yes and they don't turn it off. I like it,

171
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: but I am never after it. He Knew has a

172
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: good documentary though, is Kings of Leon. Yeah. I love

173
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: that documentary because of the way it's shot, like they

174
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: start the interviews and the lead singers got a bottle

175
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: of something whiskey vodka, and as the interview goes, you

176
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: see the bottle get drink of. The volume of liquor

177
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: gets lower and lower and lower, and then he starts

178
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: getting real. Do you remember that part? I don't. I

179
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: just remember them growing up in like the church and

180
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: traveling around with their family, playing at different and different tents,

181
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: and major fights with his brother. Major fight. It's a

182
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: good one, even if he don't like Kings a Leon,

183
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: that's a really good one. It's like the Bags one.

184
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: Mike didn't like it that much. I thought it was fantastic.

185
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: They haven't seen it even if you didn't know the Begs,

186
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: because you learned so much about their impact on all

187
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: music that you listen to period. There's a cool one

188
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: on It's on Hulu. I don't know what network it's on,

189
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: but it's The Beatles eight days a week, and it's

190
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: directed I believe by Ron Howard uh And it's just

191
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: the touring years of the Beatles, and it's just all

192
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: footage of them touring. But you got you get to

193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: realize that that when they went to America they were scared.

194
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: They had no idea. They thought they were going to

195
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: fail coming to America because they had no idea what

196
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: what it was like over here, and they came and

197
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: they were the biggest thing in the world that when

198
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: they got back, they're like, well, we don't even know

199
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: what's next, like like do we just keep doing this

200
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: or how do we keep being successful? And it's pretty crazy.

201
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Things that I've never thought about the Beatles really get

202
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: covered in this documentary. The only thing I think about

203
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: when you tell that story is when they go back

204
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: home to the UK. I hate flying so much now.

205
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: I hate flying over water. Back in the sixties, flying

206
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: over water from the UK to America, I've been p

207
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and my pants every time, and old airplane like that

208
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: just well. And that's the thing. When they flew to

209
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: America for the first time, they just got on a

210
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: plane with normal people, and so there's footage of them

211
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: getting on saying hi to all the passengers, and they're like, Wow,

212
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: the Beatles are going to America for the first time.

213
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. And they show up and all the

214
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: passengers are getting out and there's mobs of people and

215
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: the best is like, what is going on here? So

216
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: pretty cool footage I've never seen in my life. Still

217
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: being on airplane in the sixties, I don't like it

218
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: right now. Snoop Dogg, ice Cube, Too Short, and Forty

219
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: have formed a new supergroup called Mount Westmore their debut

220
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: albums coming next month. They're set to release their debut

221
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: album next month, with more volumes come in the future. Uh,

222
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Kanye West. The headline was He's worth six point six billion.

223
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: But I'm seeing now, Mike, that may not be the case,

224
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: they're saying it's worth easily one point eight billion. One

225
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: point a billion, still pretty good. I think his the

226
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: six point six story and correct me if I'm wrong,

227
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: is based on what they how much you can. Yeah,

228
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: it's like when an athlete signs a two hundred million

229
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: dollar contract, but it's incentives. It's if he gets picked

230
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: up for the last two years. It's that kind of

231
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: could be confusing, but again, one point at billion. Kanye

232
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: West with one point billion dollars crazy godly. Another documentary

233
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: in the works on Britney Spears. I think there are

234
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: a couple. I think Netflix is working on a little

235
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: something too that is that this one. Yeah, The Arita

236
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: Franklin bio series debuts on Sunday on that Geo Areta.

237
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: A celebration and recognition of her genius is coming out.

238
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: It's the moments where she created things that will last forever.

239
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: I like to read the Franklin. That seems cool. I

240
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: don't know a lot about her, so that that'd be

241
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: cool to watch the Did you watch the Billie Eilish documentary? Mike? Yeah?

242
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: On Apple Plus? You did? I see it up there?

243
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: Because I go to Apple Plus A decent amount. What

244
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: do you think. I thought it was actually pretty good.

245
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would like it because you

246
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: don't really like her music. Yeah, and I'm not supposed to.

247
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm too old. Yeah. I mean, if you do, great,

248
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: but I don't. I'm never gonna hate on the music

249
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: that's young and I don't understand it because the music

250
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: I liked when I was sixteen, people that were forty

251
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: didn't understand it. I know my place and my places

252
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: to go. That's really cool what she's doing. I didn't

253
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: get it, but I was not supposed to get it.

254
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: It's not for me, so bad god, No, no, no,

255
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: no no. Did you see the clip about that sound? Yeah?

256
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: So this is that sound? So this sound and bad

257
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: guy Bag they used it to sample it. They took

258
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: it off like an Australian walk sign when you press

259
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: the button to walk across the street. Do you have

260
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: a couple of the song and then this is it

261
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: in the song? I hear it? What was that in

262
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: the documentary? No, that was I just started researching stuff

263
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: after I watched it because I was like, they're so

264
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: crazy talented, Like she never goes into a recording studio

265
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: to record anything. Did that all in her bedroom. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

266
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: she goes into record, but it's in her bedroom. She

267
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: doesn't go into a studio and her brother does it

268
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: all pretty cool? Yeah, Okay, what'd you learn from this documentary?

269
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know she had turetts. She talks about it

270
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: on the documentary, like she doesn't have verbal ticks, but

271
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: it's like her physical thing, like her hands. I didn't

272
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: know she had that. And then she doesn't know who

273
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: Orlando Bloom is. There's a scene where she goes to

274
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Coachella and meets Katie Perry and Orlando Bloom is with

275
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: and she's like, who's that guy. They like, it's Orlando Bloom.

276
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: She's like, wait, bring him back. Oh she doesn't recognize.

277
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: She thought it was just a guy that she was dating.

278
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good looking guy. Yeah you've met I

279
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: met him. Yeah. What else? And then yeah, just the

280
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: thing that they do, all that stuff in the bedroom. Never,

281
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: she doesn't she doesn't even like writing songs, Like whenever

282
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: she sits down to write a song, she's I hate

283
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: doing this. I don't want to do it because she's

284
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: still afraid of how people will react, in what they'll

285
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: say online you give it what score? I give it

286
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: four out of five bad guys, Like, Yeah, it's really

287
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: interesting to see how young she is and that she's

288
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: so inspired by people like Justin Bieber, who that's like

289
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: her idol and that's how she was like fourteen when

290
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: she was a fan of him. I'll tell you what's

291
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: cool is that she never smiles. That when she does,

292
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: I get excited, Like, like I think the Grammys or whatever,

293
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: she she never smiles. She's always got that phase, like

294
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm a bad mood, right. But the Grammys, they had

295
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: that set up where they can all watch the other

296
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: bands while they were playing, because it was kind of

297
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: a circular thing, and she would smile when like Harry

298
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Styles is playing. I'm like that makes her feel cool

299
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: because whatever he's doing is making her move. You like,

300
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: probably kids are playing a lot kids play it. But

301
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean I like the I guess I kind of

302
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: like her brother more than her because the beats that

303
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: he makes and the musical he makes is really good.

304
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: You like her? Yeah? I like her music more now

305
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: after watching back and listen to it, like this is awesome.

306
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: What do you like better? The Taylor Swift documentary of

307
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: the Billie Eilish. Oh this one really, this one a

308
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: lot better just because how famous he is now, and

309
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: it makes it really seem like he's just a normal

310
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: kid who got famous. So I thought it was cool.

328
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: here with Nico Moon, which, by the way, before when

329
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: you came in, we were talking about The Bluebird. Have

330
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: you played The Bluebird one time? Okay? What what was

331
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: that experience for you? Like, it was awesome. Bob Dapiro

332
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: asked me to play with him, and we had probably

333
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: written two or three times together at that point, and

334
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: he's a big hero of mine, so him asking me

335
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: was awesome. So yeah, we sat down and do you

336
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: feel nervous playing with someone that you really admired? Yeah? Yeah,

337
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: Honestly I was more nervous about that than I was

338
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: about playing The Bluebird. I don't know why, but the

339
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: whole time leading up I was really nervous. And then

340
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: I started playing, and I wasn't nervous no more, except

341
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: for the fact that I had like Bob sitting across

342
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: from me looking at me, and he's playing like all

343
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: these like jacketic songs. You know you can pull those,

344
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: you can, don't know, worry about the headphones. Nichol's got

345
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: a cool hat, and I feel bad being like, hey,

346
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: there's some headphones there, but I'll just tell you if

347
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: you need to throw them back up. How about that. Um.

348
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: I've played the Bluebird a few times. The last time

349
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: that was probably the most weirdly embarrassing because so I

350
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: do comedy music, right, and I'd probably played three or

351
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: four times, and I get some friends together, like I

352
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: got John Party and my buddies that I knew I

353
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: can go out there and just do funny stuff. They're

354
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna cover me with the real stuff and we're gonna

355
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: have a good time. Well, so I was going out

356
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: and we're about to record my latest comedy album, and

357
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I called the people the Bluebirds, said, hey,

358
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: I want to come out. I just need to play

359
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: some stuff for some people. I need to test it

360
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: because with comedy stuff, you're right, but unless and you

361
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: may think it's funny, but until you get out there

362
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: and you actually deliver punchlines, you don't know if it's

363
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna work. And so she was like, great, come out.

364
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: So I'll walk and they and it wasn't in the round.

365
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: I've only ever played in the round my friends where

366
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: then I feel secure because I'm we're all sitting around.

367
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: They got my back. I got there's whatever. I don't

368
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: have theirs. I suck it, but they have my back.

369
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: But you feel like you're in it together. Yeah, in

370
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: it together. But this was when they had the little

371
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: stage up and everyone's just watching the little stage, sounding

372
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: like I have my guitar, and the guy goes up.

373
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: And at the Blue Bird, it's known for people just

374
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: randomly showing up at times. It could be a big

375
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: star playing there, you never know. And guy walks up

376
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: and he's like, all right, everybody, this is pretty pandemic.

377
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: So everybody's just having a great time. It's a probably

378
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday night. It's like, we got a big surprise

379
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: for you. And I'm like, oh no, no, don't build

380
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: me up. Don't build me up. And he's like this

381
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: guy here, you guys have heard stories about famous people

382
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: coming to the and I'm like, oh my god, oh

383
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: my god, don't do this, don't do this. And he

384
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: does this whole build up and he's like and they

385
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: got to be thinking George Straighter, Garth Brooks about they

386
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: gotta be like, oh, well, like we're crossing our fingers.

387
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: He goes Bobby Bones and you heard like it was

388
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: like the opposite. And now I didn't go how to

389
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: make them laugh when they were they just thought they

390
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: were about to have Alan Jackson come out and play

391
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: instead it was me and then I'm out there playing

392
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: dopey songs like my name is Hove, you love You

393
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: Bobby and so anyway, yeah, I didn't do the walk

394
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: out thing, and we just kind of like, you know,

395
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: did this sit in the middle. That's what we I

396
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: did the other times, but you are, people are right

397
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: on top of you. Are like they're literally she's like

398
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: eating pancakes six ft behind me. Yeah. So well, man, congratulations.

399
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Let me say this, this is a big time in

400
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: your life. You hit number one as a as an artist,

401
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: as an artist because you've been one as a writer,

402
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: but now it's your face and your voice, and there's

403
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: gotta be a different kind of man. This is freaking cool.

404
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: It's a different feeling for sure. I was wondering if

405
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: it would feel the same, and they don't because because

406
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: people also know, right, people know that you're now number one.

407
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: When you when we'll play some of the songs that

408
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: you wrote, maybe they didn't know you wrote those, like

409
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the Random Fan. So I when I was tracking it

410
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: because I like you and I was tracked, I was like, man,

411
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: I hope this song hits. And then when I could

412
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: tell it was gonna hit because there's a point where

413
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be the number one song. What

414
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: did you think when when they're like, Nicole, there's no

415
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: way we're gonna miss this. You're gonna be number one?

416
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: That you know. My manager probably wanted to kill me

417
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: last week because I was calling him like five times

418
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: a day, just asking and he was like, when I know,

419
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'm like, okay, So I just laying

420
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: that on that, you know. I couldn't sleep the whole week,

421
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: and then when he finally told me it was it

422
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: was the best film. I never have slept good as

423
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: the night after I found out, I save like a

424
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: baby all night long. It was like this relief but

425
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: also this unbelievable feeling that I mean, the whole reason

426
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: I went from being a songwriter to an artist is

427
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: because I love people. I love connecting with people, and

428
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to do that directly on the only way

429
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: an artist can, you know, because when as a songwriter,

430
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you're almost kind of doing it vicariously other artists, and

431
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: to know that good Time has connected to that degree

432
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: with that many people is such a sweet feeling. It's

433
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: this feeling of of like it means that all that

434
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: hard work and and and all that time and everything

435
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: and all that passion put into it was was worthwhile.

436
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: I was meaningful because people took it and made it

437
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: their own. And I've had so many people tell me

438
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: it's like, man, this this year has just been more stress.

439
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: I've had more stresses here to ask me the rest

440
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: of my life, and this has kind of been like

441
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: a like a three minute and thirty second audible vacation

442
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: I can go on when I need. Is just kind

443
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: of put that to the side for a minute. And

444
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: that's I was saying on the radio, and at times

445
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: of me saying stuff like this gets me in trouble,

446
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: especially in Nashville. But I think this is the first

447
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: legitimate I think this is the first song that I

448
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: feel like is a number one that has fully earned

449
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: that song number one since Luke Combs. Because what happens here,

450
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: and you don't have a comment that you get in trouble.

451
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: What happens here is record label starts to trade out

452
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: number one. They start, they do They're like, okay, well, okay,

453
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: you you got this week, and I'm gonna take this week.

454
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: And Luke Combs has the number one, and they just

455
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: moved number two and then everybody else jump them over,

456
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: which in real life, if it's for the pop world,

457
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: Luke Comes would have just kicked everybody in the balls

458
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: for eight weeks. But because Nashville is not like that

459
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: and they're all trade number one, what I said on

460
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: the ear was, I think you're the first legitimate number

461
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: one since Luke Combs. Not that those artists aren't fantastic

462
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and their songs aren't great, but think they're probably capped

463
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: out of number two honestly, because Luke Comes was an

464
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: under undeniable force that last song of his. But I

465
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: feel like your song was the one that was gonna

466
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: regardless of what was up there. Your song was taking

467
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: them down. And that means nothing. You don't a trophy,

468
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: you don't get a ribbon, but it's it's just a

469
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: it's a freaking jam. And I didn't and I didn't

470
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: always feel like that. When the first time I heard it,

471
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: I was like, what if this will work? Like I

472
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: liked it, but I was like, oh, it's so different.

473
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: And this comes from someone who has also been treated

474
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: well and people have treated me like I've been completely

475
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: different where people will go, you know what, like, we

476
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: see what you're doing, but we don't know if it's

477
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: going to be warmly received. And when I had seen

478
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: you play a couple of the showcases, especially before, like

479
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: you did the I Heart, you did the I Heart like, um, summit, yeah,

480
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: and I was like, there's something about and I had

481
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: met you at all. I take that back, I didn't

482
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: know I met you. You came in with Zach didn't

483
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: know that you didn't And I was like, there's something

484
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: about that guy where if it's hit at the right time,

485
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be massive. If it's hit at the wrong time,

486
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: people canna be like, I'm so confused, But dude, you

487
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: hit at the right time and you're so good that

488
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: it's so cool to see this song and like you're

489
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: total vibe win when one for the little guy, man,

490
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know what it means a lot of

491
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: you saying that, because it took a lot for me

492
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: to like stick to my guns, And there was numerous

493
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: times so at the making the producing of my album

494
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: that I thought, you know, should I do this? But

495
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: my original thought one out decided I'm gonna make my

496
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: own album was to be true to myself. And for

497
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: years I've been songwriting, and so a lot of times

498
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: I would make the songs that I wrote in my

499
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: style and pitch them and they never ever got cut

500
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: much letting, They never even really got put on hold.

501
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: And I asked my publisher one day, I was like,

502
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: how come when I do songs like this, like in

503
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: this vibe, like they never no one wants to cut them.

504
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: He's like, man, this is no one. No one does

505
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: that vibe. He's like, you gotta make it sound like

506
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: like the vibe, like the vibe yeah, you know, or

507
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: like what they do, and you know, to be honest,

508
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: that was really great advice. And I started doing that,

509
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: and that's when a lot of cuts started happening for me.

510
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: And that's when that seed of you know, what I

511
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: feel like what I'm doing is my thing, you know,

512
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: and that's okay that like they're not feeling it. It

513
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: just means that it's it should be me doing it.

514
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: And then but even I second out of myself numerous

515
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: times throughout the making of it, where for instance, like

516
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: I put on like organic drums and stuff on the

517
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: record and and lived with it for a couple of

518
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: weeks and I mean, I spent probably two months tracking

519
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: organic drums on the album, and then I was like, no,

520
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: this it does sound like the radio, but at the

521
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: same time, it doesn't sound like me, and I can't

522
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: go through all this and then I feel like I'm

523
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: not being myself. I described two months with the work,

524
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: and then when I muted muted that, I was like,

525
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: there it is like that sounds like honestly me, you

526
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: know it. The hardest thing to do is to be

527
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: yourself when no one's like you. But the best reward

528
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: is that when you win and you were yourself, because

529
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to get in a lane here, but when

530
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: you create your own lane, like you own that there's

531
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: nobody that has your sound right now now that could

532
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: have that could have hurt you because like and it did.

533
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: It probably did for a bit or people like you

534
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: talked about writing songs like your sound where people are like,

535
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: this is not what we do. Nobody else DoLS what

536
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: you do, and you know what, you just wont doing

537
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: what you do, so now other people are gonna start

538
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of what you do. I saw

539
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: what Sam. Sam comes to town. People like what the

540
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: heck is? They're like what is this crap to Sam

541
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: wants doing but his own thing completely, And then you

542
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: saw other artists that were like, well let me, let

543
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: me stay telling that water. Yeah. So so I commend

544
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: you for it's the hardest thing to do to be

545
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: different and to to stay pointed at the goal when

546
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: other people are going, I don't know if that's it. Yeah,

547
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: And it's tough. And I think a lot of maybe

548
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there may think that because

549
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: we do our own thing, that there wasn't times of

550
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: like doubt that you may question yourself. So the only

551
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: reason I say that is because I think that it's

552
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: possible that maybe someone's listening right now who has a

553
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: thing that they're doing that's different and they may be

554
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 1: questioning themselves. And you know, wonder like the people who

555
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: are in their own lane that are doing the thing

556
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: right now, did they ever feel like that. I don't

557
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: want to know. It's okay, you know, because I I do,

558
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: you know, I have, you know, But at the end

559
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: of the day, stay true to yourself because that's the

560
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: most important thing people can feel that. I feel, you know,

561
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: like you can hear honesty and an artist you can

562
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: just hear through the music, if it's real or not,

563
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: you know. And the worst thing, and I've been the

564
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: victim of this, especially early in my career, was failing

565
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: when you weren't even you to begin with. That's when

566
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: you when you try to mold yourself after what you

567
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: think people want, and then you don't hit and you're like, man,

568
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: if I was gonna fail, I just would have rather

569
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: failed to be in me. At least I should have

570
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: been myself. Yeah, you're like, listen, if I was gonna fail,

571
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: could at least tried what I really feel. And so anyway, man,

572
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: just like shout out, and if you're your things, man,

573
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: and if you're yourself, then you're gonna sound like nobody

574
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: else because there's only one you, right and and so

575
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: if you really just hone in deep onto that. And

576
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: so I spent two months before I made my album

577
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: just thinking about like who am I? And I started

578
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: going through all my influences from childhood, what my parents

579
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: listened to, that I kind of grew up on. And

580
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: then when I started to get into and I really

581
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: took the time to think about that and put it

582
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: in a pot and say, all right, now that's my life.

583
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: What does that sound like when it's and you know

584
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: what that's. That's a great analogy, like a pot in

585
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: what's your life? Because like where you grew up and listen.

586
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: For me, I grew up and I was the first

587
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: generation that had freaking napster and downloads and be influenced

588
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: by things. I grew up in a small rule town

589
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: in Arkansas where country music was dominant. However, I now

590
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: I got to go L L L cool, j U

591
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: L and every kind of music. So I also got

592
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: to pick. It wasn't just what was at the store,

593
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: it was what would connect to me. So it was

594
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: hip hop, it was nineties grunge, especially for me, and

595
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: it was also you know, a lot of country. But

596
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: the same situation happened with you a bit, right, like

597
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: you're just surrounded by all kinds of different music. Yeah,

598
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: I was growing up in the country, about an hour

599
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: outside of Atlanta, So I was literally fifteen minutes from

600
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: where Travis Trent lives in aram Georgia, in about thirty

601
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: minutes from where Alan Jackson lives in noon And Georgia.

602
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: And so those guys were massive influences to me. I

603
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: mean I remember I ran across country in high school

604
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: and in college, and I remember literally training along the

605
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Chattahoochee River listening to Down But at the same time,

606
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm right next to Atlanta, the you know, the

607
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: epicenter of hip hop music, you know, so I'm getting

608
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: that influence of Outcast and and all of that, and yeah,

609
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: all music was a big thing. Nine nine x the

610
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: big alt station in Atlanta was playing all of that music, so,

611
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, and to me, I've i've I've always wanted

612
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: to be open and receptive to anything that moves me.

613
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: You know, if that's what music is there for, right,

614
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: If it moves you, then it's valuable, it's meaningful, and

615
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: you should like you shouldn't like, uh say, oh well

616
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: that's not what I would typically listen to. If you

617
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: dig it, then you did and it's part of you. Yeah. Yeah,

618
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a little bit of good time with

619
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: Shaggy here because go and hit that mike? Are you

620
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: just trying to catch it the time we get talk?

621
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: So how did this come together? The song already had

622
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot of heat on it, So was it, hey,

623
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: let's do this for fun or did you think would

624
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: help a little bit? Like what was the mindset with

625
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: putting Shaggy on the record. So my label reached out

626
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: and said, hey, we would love for there to be

627
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: a remix on the song, and I was like, okay,

628
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: let me think on that, you know, and who I

629
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: think would would be a great fit for it. And

630
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: ironically enough, a couple of days after that, Shaggy reaches

631
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: out and says, Yo, I heard good Time. Really he

632
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: heard it and called. He heard it and called, and

633
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: was like, this is cool. I really dig it and

634
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: I would love to do a remix on it and

635
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 1: do my thing. And immediately I think to myself, reggae

636
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: music is all about good vibes and having fun, and

637
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: that's what good Time is all about, you know. So

638
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: this is perfect. And I wanted it to be someone

639
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: that no one would expect. I didn't want to go

640
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: with something like oh yeah, yeah, I can see that

641
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: he reached out to that person or whatever. I wanted

642
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: to be like so out of left field because I

643
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: like doing that with people, you know. I just it's

644
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: my first remix I've ever done. I wanted it to

645
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: just completely catch people by surprise. But at the same time,

646
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: it works and it makes sense. Do you meet him

647
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: we we hung out over Zoom. Yeah, but he's he's

648
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: far far away. He's in Jamaica. So that guy, because

649
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: I've met him a couple of times. He's always interesting

650
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: because he talks to you like I'm talking, you know,

651
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: he just talks. And then when it's like time to perform,

652
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, dang has a whole different voice. Like

653
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: he walks in the room, he's like, hey, man, get

654
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: to meet you. And he's like, all right, you ready, yeah,

655
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: three two one, like like two different people. I noticed that,

656
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: but I he came into the studio once and then

657
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: we worked together on American Idol where he was performing

658
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: with some of the contestants I was working with and

659
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: great guy, like super nice, super nice, chill dude. And

660
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: when I was young, like man Angel, it wasn't me

661
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: universal everybody like he hit it all, Mr boom Bostick.

662
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Even before that, Yeah, I wanted to mention a few

663
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: of the songs that you wrote before you hit good

664
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: Time as an artist with Zach Brown Band. Keep me

665
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: in mind me that's a number one. So down the

666
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: road to get a homegrown I got some good friend

667
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: down got him loving you easy, beautiful drug. That's a

668
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: beautiful job, and you had a number one as a

669
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: rock song, Heavy as the Head with Chris Cornell. Back

670
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: to Life from Rascal Flat's peaked the number seventeams. It's

671
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: like a drum shakes and then out right now Dirk's

672
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: new single gonell heard this last night? You did? You

673
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: heard it last night? Because it's starting it's starting to

674
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: pick up a little bit. Did did you write this

675
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: with him or outside of him? And he heard it?

676
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: I wrote it with Nicole guy In and Ben Johnson

677
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: And so when it's first Dark's cut right, And what's

678
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: funny is we wrote it like two years ago, before

679
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: you know COVID or anything, and it's it's crazy how

680
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: that works out, because now it's like, you know, I've

681
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: been going, I've been sitting on the couch that's a

682
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: TV all days. You write it that long ago? Huh?

683
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: Did anybody else put on hold? No? How does this song?

684
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: It talked me through this as a guy has a

685
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of success as a writer. How does the song

686
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: sit for that long and nobody pick it up? And

687
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden one of the biggest artists

688
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: in the the format picks up. It goes you know what

689
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: this is a freaking single. I wrote good Time almost

690
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: three years before I released it, so before I decided

691
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: to to do, you know, give it a go as

692
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: an artist and pitched it. You pitched a good time.

693
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: I pitched good Time and then didn't even get put

694
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: on hold by anybody, much less cut It's a good story.

695
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted it, did You always keep in your back

696
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: pocket and go all right, when I do my thing,

697
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm cutting this song. You know, at the time when

698
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: I wrote it, I was I was just a hund

699
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: percent focused on songwriting. But I was really bombed because

700
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: I believed in it and I knew in my heart

701
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: that it was a big song and that it was important,

702
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: you know. But uh, as soon as I started, uh

703
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: making my album, I brought it up to my wife

704
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: and I said, all right, check that song. I wrote

705
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: the song like two years ago, but it's not on

706
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 1: Amy's in the back of my head, and I felt

707
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: like it just would be perfect for this album because

708
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: it really is like my little heart in a song,

709
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, just a simple song, you know, about hanging

710
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: out with with friends and family and enjoying life, living

711
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: life while we're here, right, life is short, so and

712
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: that's what I'm about, Like, I just want to make

713
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: people happy with country music and do it in just

714
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: like a fun way. How did you get in the

715
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Zach Brown camp? I got into Zack Brown camp because

716
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: I played a little bar at the University of West

717
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Georgia called the Mansion and it wasn't a mansion. I

718
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: don't know why they called it that. But this is

719
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: before he broke out with Chicken Fry. This is about

720
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: a year before that, so he was a really big

721
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: local Georgia thing, but that was it. So you knew

722
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: him before he opened up for him and he he

723
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: he said, at the back of the bar and watched

724
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: me open up for him. And then after this is

725
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: perfect for maybe two people. And then after the show,

726
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: we were just sitting at the bar hanging out with

727
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: the bartenders, just having a couple of drinks and we

728
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: got talking. He was like, would you want to write

729
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: some time next week? And I was like sure and

730
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: asked pretty much it. You know, from then on out

731
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: we've written all over forty released songs together and it's

732
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: been a cool collaborative friendship. Does he call you when

733
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: he's okay, we're getting the team back together? Start thinking

734
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: about a new project. Are you one of the guys? Well,

735
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: usually it's always been I would go out on the

736
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: road with him because he doesn't like to ride at

737
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: home because he's got five kids, So his time to

738
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: focus on riding is on the road and he won't

739
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: start until midnight after the show. So are my round

740
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: schedule when I go out with him would be like

741
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: midnight to six am? Dang? Yeah, so you're going to

742
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: bed when the sun's coming up? Yeah. Which of those

743
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: songs that you wrote with Zach where you like, dang

744
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: this one? Like this one could really do some damage?

745
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: Like you knew it was gonna be good, homegrown for sure.

746
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: I just knew it was a gut feeling. It was

747
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: a good feeling. Which one of those big ones were

748
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: you like, I don't know if this is gonna be

749
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: it that ended up just crushing? I think beautiful Drug probably.

750
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: You know. He came to me and said, listen, I

751
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: want to do a song that has a lot of

752
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: electronic um elements to it. You know, almost like if

753
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: a country guy was to do something with a tinge

754
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: of avici to it, what would that sound like? You know? Um?

755
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: And so I wasn't sure at first, you know, I

756
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, you know, but uh I

757
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: wracked my head on it and and and kind of

758
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: grinded away on on how to bring those two worlds

759
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: together in a way that I thought country listeners would

760
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: would with a dig. So it was definitely touch and

761
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: go with that one technical backgrounding music then like how

762
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: did you learn to play music? What do you play?

763
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: Because again, if if he's like, hey, we want to

764
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: do something with a little bit of of you know, electronic,

765
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: like how did how did the crap do you do that? Man?

766
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: I just you know, I'm self taught. Yeah, my well,

767
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: my dad uh plays guitar and plays drums, and my

768
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: mom plays guitar, and as a kid, I was always

769
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: interested in music because they were always writing songs. So

770
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: I was really brought up in a musical household. But

771
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: I first learned on drums. So that's why drums are

772
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: such like a big part of my music, and I

773
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: think really percussive when I think of melodies and with

774
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: music structure. But uh uh, he would always be at

775
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: work and I would just sneak into his room and

776
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: I kind of like figured out how to just kind

777
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: of taught myself how to play on his guitar because

778
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: the rule was not to touch the guitar, you know,

779
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: it was it was an important thing, a special thing,

780
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: and you don't want, you know, to break the guitar

781
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: on exitent or something. But when he found out I've

782
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: been sneaking in his room, I thought that was it.

783
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna get it, you know, but

784
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: he actually thought it was pretty cool. I had the

785
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: guts to sneak, sneak in there and like try to

786
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: figure it out. So it all worked out in the end.

787
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: How do you figure it out? For me? No musical ability.

788
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: But I went to Walmart and I bought a chord

789
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: sheet from that poster section. You know it loves big

790
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: flip tiles, and I bought it. And I went to

791
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: a pawn shop and I bought a guitar because again,

792
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to do it on stage to play comedy.

793
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to play mu to can joint combinations and

794
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: I'll be like, all right, but I knew, even though

795
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: it hurt, I knew where to put those fingers. For e.

796
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: When you're self taught, what does that even mean? Because

797
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: you didn't have a Walmart court sheet. Well in the

798
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: sense of I didn't have like a person uh in

799
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: person teaching me. So what I do is I would

800
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: just go online and just look up how to play,

801
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: uh look up the chords to songs that I liked,

802
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, So I would look up you know, friends

803
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: and low places, and then I would see the chords,

804
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: and then I would look up, how did you how

805
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: did you make that cord? And then it's so similar ish,

806
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: except you're good self taught. I'm bad. So that's I

807
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: almost saying like I'm self tied. Hey, guys, have a

808
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: self taught guitar player. As far as production goes YouTube,

809
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling myself how to do pro tools and how

Speaker 1: to produce music on YouTube. It's all there. People there.

811
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,360

Speaker 1: You know? Or how do you how do you do this?

814
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,400

00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: everything on YouTube? Did you have to fight to keep that?

816
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: The end? Talking part of a good time on the radio,

817
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,080

00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: think I gotta I gotta b that's it? Because usually

819
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll cut that stuff off at the end. It wasn't intentional,

820
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: it was, Um, the last thing I'll do when I'm

824
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,359

831
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, even though it is kind of goofy it.

832
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,040

00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: we were living in Atlanta. We've been here for so

852
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: we've we that was eight years ago and so we

853
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: knew each other for three years. Sofore we got married

854
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: and we've been here for four almost five years. Does

855
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: it feel like home yet? Yeah, it feels like home,

856
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: It really does. It's interesting when I go back home

857
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: it still feels like home, but I don't know, this

858
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: feels like home. Two. Does that makes sense when you

859
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: go home? Do you feel that way? It does to me.

860
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: This feels like home now because I actually have a

861
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: couple of real roots here, Like I'm now engaged, so

862
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: my fiance and my dog is here until about two

863
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: years ago, even maybe less than that, it didn't. It

864
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: just felt like a place where I was working, I had,

865
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: I had a nice house and at all my friend

866
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: I brought all my friends with me here, meaning when

867
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: I moved here from Texas, my radio shows always just

868
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: been my friends. No, I've never really brought in anybody

869
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: from other radio shows. That's why people always probaly sucked

870
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: is because we don't sound like a real radio show.

871
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: Which but so I took all my friends with me,

872
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: so that kind of felt homey because I brought them.

873
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: But now it's like I have legitimate roots here. But

874
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: when I go back to Arkansas, I still feel like,

875
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: all right, this is home. Also lived in Austin, Texas

876
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: for twelve years, and nothing felling home in Austin, Texas.

877
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: So it's like all three places I kind of feel.

878
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, how you go somewhere and it's like you

879
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: talk about how you slept really hard after went number one.

880
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: You go somewhere because I should have been traveling a lot.

881
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: You go somewhere and it's like the big way to

882
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: backpack has taken off your back, Like Nashville. Finally feels

883
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: like that for me. Once I cross over that line,

884
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: there's something to it. It's like, yeah, I can just

885
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: kind of go and use my own soap, and like

886
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: I feel good about the store. Or even when you

887
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: start getting like thirty minutes away and just like the

888
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: way that the land rolls and the way the trees look,

889
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: you could tell that you're closed, you know, and that

890
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: you that kind of feeling washing even that mile markers

954
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: and everything is my name. It worked out for me though,

956
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: Anna Moon. So you meet this guy, are you like, hey,

957
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: I also do music? How long? How early on did

958
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: you tell him that? Yeah? I mean that was one

959
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: of the initial things that attracted us to each other

960
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: is our love of songwriting. And we actually both speaking

961
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: of tattoos, have a inc and quill tattoo because that's

962
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of the premise under which we met. Um. So

963
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: writing has always been a big part of our relationship

964
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: and and something that we've always enjoyed doing together. Do

965
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: you ever get tired of writing together though, and be like,

966
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go write with Jim and Troy?

967
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: You know, no, she's my favorite person to write with.

968
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: Our only rule is no writing before I have my

969
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: morning coffee, because sometimes he'll wake up with like all

970
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: these ideas that he's had like during his sleep or something,

971
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me drink

972
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: some coffee, then we'll get into it. My most creative

973
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: moment is like the first ten minutes after I wake up.

974
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: I don't know a a while wake up. I grabbed my

975
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: phone and I just started writing lyrics, but I can't

976
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: I can't tell them to her for about thirty minutes.

977
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: It sounds just waiting for her to get her coffee.

978
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: This is even more exciting than I initially thought. I

979
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: was just like, how exciting for you? How exciting for

980
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: you too? You've been able to celebrate it together. That's

981
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: my first number one as a songwriter. So it's been

982
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: a been a really exciting week at the moon House

983
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: for sure. Man, that's a that's really amazing. I'm extremely

984
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: more than I when I come home. It's like we're

985
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: able to jump up and down together and it's something

986
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: that we did. Were you as nervous as it was

987
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: climbing the chart? Oh for sure? Yeah? I mean maybe

988
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: it's because it's also my my first song at radio

989
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: as a writer. But there was definitely a lot tied

990
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: up in it and just you know, yeah, definitely definitely

991
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: just as nervous. I'm super proud of her because now

992
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: like everybody gets to find out how amazing of a

993
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: song long writer she is. I mean, that's that's the

994
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: main thing that really impressed me about her when we

995
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: first met was you know, we were hanging out the

996
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: first time around a guitar, and I said, just find

997
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: me some stuff that you wrote, because I knew she

998
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: was an artist, and I mean I was just floored,

999
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, blows me away. It's singing, ridiculous songwriter.

1000
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: And and so we've always had that mutual respect with

1001
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: each other, and now like I feel like everyone's going

1002
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: to get to find out about that. You know what's

1003
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: cool too is that she was just sitting back there.

1004
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: She wasn't like notice me, but you also like wanted

1005
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: to say, hey, look she did this too. Like you

1006
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: guys are both like working against each other, but in

1007
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: the best way and like the most and the healthiest

1008
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: way possible. He's my he's my number one fan, and

1009
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm his for sure. But we see it as a

1010
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: as a little family family hustle. I guess you could say. So,

1011
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: we're we're definitely in it for each other. Are you

1012
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: writing all the time? Are you just a full time

1013
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: songwriter in town? Only for him? Pretty much? Only right

1014
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: with him? Yeah, for now, I mean it, he's me.

1015
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: We're so busy doing that and and right now we're

1016
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: actually working on some new new music for him, and

1017
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 1: so we're constantly busy. We haven't in a few times

1018
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: with some other artists or yeah, but I mean, it's

1019
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: so much fun writing for the person that you love

1020
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: the most in the world. And obviously we know each

1021

Speaker 1: other so well, so it's just fun. It's easy, and

1022
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: it's something that we just love doing together. And it's

1023
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: not typical, like we don't sit down at eleven and

1024
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: have our writing session from eleven to five. We just

1025
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: right throughout the day. You know what, if it was

1026
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: a song called this and it kind of went like this,

1027
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: and she'd be like okay, you know, and she'll kind

00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: I think the twenties are gonna be like the war

1150
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: be so high. It's almost like when you get something

1151
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,160

1152
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,680

1154
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 1: get back to just enjoy life, enjoy being around people,

1155
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: sharing sharing time with the people that we care about,

1156
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: the people that we love, the simple things like just

1157
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: like a cold beer and a and a live concert.

1158
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: Those things like that are going to I think, really

1159
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: be really important to people. And I think shows are

1160
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:43,799
