Speaker 1: of weekend shows. He was a little tired, obviously, but

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: he was right in that spot that you're very generous

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: with your stories, you're feeling a little vulnerable, and it

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: was awesome. And so we talked to Derek's about his

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: biggest hits and grinding for many years to get to

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: we worked at TEENA and the building's gone where we

67
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: used to work as a cross street from Coppery House,

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 2: And it was when Tina and cm T were gonna

69
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: all packed together, and I was just doing anything I

70
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: could at that point, you know, recording songs. I was

71
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: playing downtown on the Ord Broadway. I was writing at

72
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: uh you know as Cap and the little writer's room

73
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: they have upstairs for they're out anyone to write in.

74
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: So it's just kind of a thing and just shotgun

75
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: blast of putting much stuff out there and see them

76
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: would stick. And I'm sorry but my voice, by the way,

77
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: but I just did three shows in a row and

78
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: travel back today from South Dakota, and my voice is

79
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: a little fried.

80
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Do you when you travel, you always fly back? You

81
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: always fall your own plane back.

82
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: I was fly the band now I always.

83
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what you think is are flying. There's

84
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: some it's one of two things, because I don't I

85
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: don't understand the flying thing with you so much so

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: and I think you're probably a good pilot. No, I mean,

87
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: you have to be right. But they also call them

88
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: those little planes like you know, lawyer killers because you

89
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: get just you get enough and then you get out there.

90
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's man.

91
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: The flying thing is so.

92
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's a whole other show, but it is.

93
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's a manifestation. That's something that I put

94
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: out there a long time ago, and I think that's

95
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: one of the United sharing common It is manifesting our realities.

96
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: And it starts with small things. Start off me just

97
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: when I was nineteen one to get my pilot's license,

98
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: and it took me three years to get it. Why

99
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: do you want to get a pilot line? I just

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: wanted to fly. I just had that when when I

101
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: was a kid, I made model their plans. I just

102
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: wanted and I just wanted to fly. And it took

103
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: me three years just because it took time and money

104
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: to do it. I got my pilots license and then

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: I just stopped flying because I didn't really have a mission.

106
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: And then I flew with Kenny Chesney one time coming

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: back from a show in a private jet. My first

108
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: time ever at a jet. I was like, this is unbelievable.

109
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: It was back in two thousand and three. It was me,

110
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: Keith and Kenney in a plane. It was awesome. I

111
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: was like, whoa, this is what I want, you know,

112
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: And so I've done this with a couple of things.

113
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: I made my password on my computer. When we landed,

114
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: we went to a different terminal right where jets go,

115
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: and it was a place called Signature. It was like,

116
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: a that's what it's like, the little General Aviation plane

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: for a place for jets. And I wrote made signature

118
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: on my password in my computer. And so every time

119
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: I had to get on my computer, out of type

120
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: words signature. And I was like, I'm gonna get I wanna.

121
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 2: I want to own a jet. And uh, you know,

122
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: my career kind of stalled out around two thousand and

123
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: eight and that dream I was looking, that's never gonna happen.

124
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: I'm never going to own a jet school. But uh,

125
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: you know, that dream kind of went away. And I

126
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: was playing a gig somewhere with halfway the Hazard of

127
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: all people, and a little plane flew overhead and these guys.

128
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I was like, I always look up the planes, and

129
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 2: these guys, that's Tim McGraw's. He's Tim's up there flying

130
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: that plane to the gig today. It was a charity

131
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: gig we were doing. I was like Tim McGraw has

132
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: his own colonne. He's not flying around a little six

133
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: cylinder prop plane buying, you know. And sure enough was

134
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: Tim McGraw, and he's like, yeah, I'm geting my pots license.

135
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: And he was flying the school.

136
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Plane and getting my pilot's license, and he was flying

137
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: the plane.

138
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: Oh, he was an instructor flying to a gig, multitasking.

139
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: And so I went out the next day and started

140
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: flying with that instructor, and I just fell back in

141
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: love with flying again. And I had had a kid

142
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: at this point, too heavy was born. So I was

143
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: looking for ways to kind of cut the corners off

144
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: some of my travel at this point as flying south

145
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: west all the time, and so I started finding that

146
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: small plane NonStop because of a of a mcgarraw. And

147
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: I put about five six seven or hours in that plane.

148
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: Fine everywhere, and long story short, how things you put

149
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: them out in the universe, they come back to you.

150
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: I was flying out of O'Hair. I flew a commercial

151
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: plane into o hair, went around to the other side

152
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: of the airport and jumped in my plane, a little

153
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: prop plane that someone had met me with to fly

154
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: to a gig in a small town and I was

155
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: using the bathroom at the Jurnal and I looked up

156
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: and the word signature was above the urinal and I

157
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, Like it totally worked out

158
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: in the way I wasn't expecting. I thought I was

159
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: gonna be in the back of a jet, you know,

160
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: that was my my But I was manifesting and hoping

161
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: to manifest. Ended up being in the front left seat

162
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: of a prop plane, which is way cool. Irought' to

163
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: be the pilot in a passenger and uh, it's just

164
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: it's crazy put things out there like that and they

165
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: come around and now and to continue to evolve. I've met,

166
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: you know, I've met the guys that cessa them, became

167
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: friends with the guy that runs the company, and finding

168
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: a little different plane now that it can actually hold

169
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: all the guys in my band. They're they're all brave

170
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: enough to fly with me. And I have another pilot

171
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: that flies with us too, so there's two of us

172
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: up front.

173
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: It's the plane is just because we were together in

174
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Vague and hey, we're leaving at four pm tomorrow if

175
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: you want to. I was like, dude, I appreciate the offer.

176
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to get in a small plane like that,

177
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel comfortable.

178
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you flew you know. For me and the

179
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 2: guys of the band, it's you know, it's we have kids,

180
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: and it's just like I remember the first time I

181
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: took a guitar player with me, our old guitar player,

182
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: Brian Lace, and he's like, i'll go up with you

183
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: one time when it's perfectly clear and we don't go

184
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: a mile from the airport.

185
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we'll see about that.

186
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: I flew him home one night from a gig, so

187
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: you got to be home at you know, midnight instead

188
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: of getting home the next day on the bus at

189
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: like ten am. I called him Velcrow because I could

190
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: not get him out of the seat. He was stuck

191
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: to that seat. Every time I was flying an ice

192
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: rain snow he was always like first one wanted to go,

193
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: because it's a time machine. If you got kids in

194
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: this business, you have to be two places at once.

195
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: It's definitely just and maybe not that plane, but you know,

196
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: sometimes work, if they're somewhere I have to get quick,

197
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: they'll send a plane. Yeah, and they'll go, hey, we

198
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: need you New York to Los Angeles, and then we

199
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: need you back in New York, so they'll send their

200
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: plane and I'll just get shipped around.

201
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a game. It's like it is, and it's

202
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: a total luxury. It's crazy even talking about it, but

203
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: it is for me. I want to be as successful

204
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: as a dad as I am, as I feel like

205
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: as I've been as a as a singer entertainer. And

206
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: to do that, you have to be present. You have

207
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: to be there. You can't talk about it. You have

208
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: to be there for the you know, make the breakfast.

209
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: You gotta be there to go to the games.

210
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: You gotta be there.

211
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: To do all the little things, the tiny things, the

212
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: dumb things, and a lot.

213
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: Of math though, right, are you doing math all the

214
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: time up there or not? Really? I'm just proud I

215
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: seeing up on a calculator the whole time.

216
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to my buddy Austin. You know, I fly

217
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: with This is such a help. I mean, it's when

218
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: you got a two man crew, it really helps out

219
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: a lot. But I've got a great product and find

220
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: Sessna plane and it's really reliable, great people and the

221
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: great service, and it is just it makes it And

222
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: I fly the whole band with me too. This guy's

223
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: go with me everywhere, and so when we walk on stage,

224
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: they're in a great mood because their families are happy.

225
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: Their wives are in good spirits, been with their kids

226
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: that morning we hit the stage. It makes for a

227
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: better show. I mean it makes it's a win win

228
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 2: for us, for our fans and obviously for our kids.

229
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: So it's it's kind of at this point of my career,

230
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: one has to you know that they go hand it down.

231
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: How do you do your band? Because so I have

232
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: our little stupid band. Yeah, and I have a couple

233
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: people that I keep on all the time, my drummer,

234
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: my bassist. They're just my drummer, my basis. Yeah cool,

235
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: but do you but everybody else kind of trickles in

236
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: and out, and I pay them, you know, they have

237
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: to get paid differently because them do some shows. Is

238
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: your whole band like on a retainer? Like do you

239
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: pay them a salary? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, so they're like

240
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: your people.

241
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah that's I mean. I've always been a band guy.

242
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: When I was playing down the Lower Broadway, I just

243
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: liked being in the band, you know, I love I

244
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: had a list of like, you know, one hundred guys

245
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: I've met over the year the years of being down there.

246
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: If I needed to steel player, I'd call Rusty dan Mayer.

247
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: If I needed a up right bass player, I'd call

248
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: this guy. And so I just I've always loved musicians.

249
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: They're my favorite people. They're just to be a great musician,

250
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: you have to learn from all the people before you,

251
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: so it really humbles you to a degree. You know,

252
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: you don't think you're the greatest guy ever because you

253
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: have to study all the people that came before you

254
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: to get good. So they're just great people. They're fun

255
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: to be around. They don't know who he goes.

256
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: But you pay them, they get the guys like your company. Yes,

257
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't the greatest thing when you got should get

258
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: a band. You go from paying them day rates when

259
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: you actually put them on salary. It's like the best feelings.

260
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: It's a big deal for them to beyond salary. And

261
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, they.

262
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: Get if you're gonna pay the salaries out the whole year,

263
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: whether we're touring or not, it's awesome.

264
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: If they come to you it said, hey, dereks, listen,

265
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm want to leave them. Then go over to Urban.

266
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: No one's leaving my band because They just enjoy them

267
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: because they love We have a great vibe together. We're

268
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: super close. We're as close as probably your morning shows.

269
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: And they get paid really well, and they fly everywhere

270
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: with me, to every gate when I fly a lot.

271
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: So there they their lifestyle. You give them the lifestyle

272
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: that makes them want to stay.

273
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: There's no gig out there that anyone in my band

274
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: would ever take. You could toss the greatest rock band

275
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: out there, they would never take that gig. I treat

276
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: them like those guys are my That isn't all my

277
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: dude time. It's all my bro times with the guys

278
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: in the band are who I do all my stuff with.

279
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: That's when I come home, I'm like, I don't need

280
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: to see any ever, males. I'm good. I've been with

281
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: my guys all weekend. We had a great time. We

282
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: went and saw them out Rushmore, we went hiking, we

283
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: play video games, and we were going through this shared

284
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: experience together. When I walk on stage, it's like a

285
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: you know, I have a lot of other friends with

286
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: these guys. We have a shared experience of going out

287
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: there every day and how to you know, run this

288
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: marathon and crack this rock and break it up into

289
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: little pieces over and over again, and find ways to

290
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: do it where it makes it fun for us continually.

291
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a therapy session in a way,

292
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: if you really are trying to do it in an

293
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: honest and sincere way, the live show that is, and

294
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: not just put on a show, but go through an

295
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: experience with your fans and with your fellow bandmates. It's

296
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I really approach it that way. Obviously it's my deal,

297
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: but I approach it as a band, from the way

298
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: we interact on stage to even where their MIC's replaced

299
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: on stage, you know, up near mind, not way in

300
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: the back. You know, it's more like a level, you know,

301
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: I think of Pearl Jam. I try to keep it

302
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: up tight and close like that.

303
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: So, if you're a way of doing dude stuff, is

304
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: there any resentment from your wife, Like if she's at

305
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: home with the kids and she's like, you get to

306
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: go and do dudes day. I know you're working, but

307
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: still you're doing dude fun stuff and then you come

308
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: home and she's been with kids totally.

309
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I want to say resentment, but there's

310
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: there's I mean there I have to be honest about

311
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: it and transparent about it, because I am I. I

312
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: am doing my job.

313
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: This is what I do.

314
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: But I love what I do. I mean, I love.

315
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: There's nothing like be on stage with your guys and

316
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: your fans, and and I get to do stuff. You know,

Speaker 2: the Black Hills in the mountains upside of rapid Cities

319
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: South Dakota. And I was in Billings, Montana two days ago,

320
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: hiking through just beautiful mountains around there, the hills around there,

321
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: and just and I just tell her this stuff. I'm

322
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: not trying to hide it from them, like I not.

323
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: It's raunting all week in Nashville, and here I am

324
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: like in like seventy five of your weather and like

325
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: Montana probably one of my favorite states in the whole country.

326
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: And so when I come home, I just I'm ready

327
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 2: to for battle, man. I'm ready to like help out

328
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: any way I possibly can. I wake up every morning

329
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: at four forty four so I can go get my

330
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: workout in, be done by six, and be home like

331
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: ready to be fully engaged and like the drama of

332
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: having three kids and three dogs and all the work

333
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: that goes into trying to make that house, you know,

334
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: run great and everyone have great days.

335
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: So I owever a lot.

336
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: But she it's if I ever were to win award,

337
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: the only reason I loved.

338
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: One I ever Keith Urban, I ever do win an award,

339
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I'd want to go up there just to thank her

340
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: because it's incredible. Man.

341
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: She it's it's it's hard, man, Any all moms out there,

342
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: any any parent, that's the hardest gig man. You know you,

343
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: I know how hard you work, it's insane, your your

344
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: work ethic, and I you know, I work really hard too.

345
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: But I think that when you have kids, like it's

346
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: a whole other level because there's such a responsibility there.

347
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you're basically growing this creature and your input

348
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: is so important, and you don't ever get a break.

349
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're it's twenty four seven. You don't

350
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: even sleep because someone's having a nightmare. Some might feed

351
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: the bed, you know, you hear a sound, dog's barking.

352
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: It's just it's so it's twenty four seven.

353
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: It's so hard. So unless you're gone for three days

354
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: and it's like a vacation.

355
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: So for me, I'm not saying for me, I'm saying

356
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: for her, no, for me. Yeah, it's like I got

357
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: a you know, it's kind of pulling the cord and

358
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: you get to go on the road. It's you're out

359
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 2: there and you can get stuff done and you can

360
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: choose to either you know, party or work out or

361
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of freedoms with that. So yeah,

362
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: I just try to be really transparent with her and

363
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: honest about what I'm doing, and she's super supportive at

364
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: the same time. Yeah, it's it's it's stuff I can

365
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: get that break.

366
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned a minute ago in two thousand and eight

367
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: when you say your career is stalled.

368
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,480

384
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: And it's happened in the last couple of years, But

385
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: it's but you're like the constant grinder.

386
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've used that word a lot. It's like the

387
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: hockey player that goes down there and not the slapshot

388
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: guy from out top, not the fancy forward that's getting

389
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: the sweet goals with the guy that goes down in

390
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: the corner and digs the pucks out. You know. It's

391
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: probably that's when I play hockey here in town, in

392
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: my little league at the Beer League. That's kind of

393
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: my role in real life on that hockey team. And

394
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: I think in my career, Yeah, it's all about it's

395
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: about grinding. My favorite quote was written on a It's

396
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: a Calvin Coolest quote. It's about you know, persistence and determinations.

397
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: You know, education and talent and genius can't take the

398
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: place of persistence and determination. That is the key to

399
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: my success for sure, and I know probably for yours

400
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: as well.

401
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason.

402
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: Why I should be a country singer or a pilot.

403
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: But you know, those are just things that I wanted

404
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: to do. And if you work harder than anyone else,

405
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: you got a better chance of making that happen.

406
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: What what happened in two thousand and eight, thousand and

407
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: nine and your mind? Do you take a step back?

408
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: You know, I went out on the road with I

409
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: play a thousand dates on my own. I went out

410
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: the road with Kenny, and then I went out the

411
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: road towards straight and I went back on the road

412
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: with Kenny. And that's usually that's usually the platform to

413
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: jump off of. You know, that's where urban flats everyone

414
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: went through Kenny back when those when we were starting off.

415
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: If you got the Kenny gig bo, you were a

416
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: couple of years now you be headlining on your own,

417
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: and you know, we were really looking like a two

418
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: thousand and eight would be bringing out some video and

419
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: it's maybe this kind of groundswell, and really, uh it's

420
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: for you know, it's just the songs weren't there. That's

421
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: what it comes down to. I was writing pretty much

422
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: all my own songs, working love with some some friends

423
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: mind here in town. And and it's not their fault either,

424
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: it's it's it's nobody's fault. I'm so happy that things

425
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: are where they are. But I think I discovered you

426
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: can't tour. I think I was in my mind, I

427
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: was trying to make albums that would be jet fuel

428
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: for the for touring, like how can this album, how

429
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: can this song lead to headlining? And that's and you know,

430
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: I need, I need a song help me get there.

431
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: And that's just a terrible way to make records. And

432
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: nothing against those records. Those records still sound like and

433
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: my are so some of my favorite signing records, but

434
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: as far as singles go, and songs are going to

435
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: move the needle, and really, you know, and I feel

436
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: like I just needed to reset. I don't know, I

437
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: just I was you can only work so hard, man.

438
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: I was working so hard on the road, touring NonStop,

439
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: you know, jumping off stage, I'm stage diving, I'm pulling

440
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: fans up. I'm just you know, known as the hard

441
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: working men in country music. We did like forty one

442
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: shows in forty five days one time. I mean, I'm

443
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: out there all the time, and I'm trying to rush

444
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: back here and make records and go back out there again.

445
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: It just it just doesn't It just doesn't work that way.

446
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: So I was on the road in two thousand and

447
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: eight or nine with Paisley, and so I tried my

448
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: headlining thing.

449
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: It just wasn't working.

450
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: So it was like, okay, retreat Brad was I had

451
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: a chance to go with Brad and it was on

452
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: that tour and I was opening for him, and there's

453
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: a lot going on that tour. Weren't really getting a

454
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: chance to sound check, and there's just the vibe of

455
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: my band just crashed. It was kind of the tour

456
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: that just everyone just like, you know, we're just only

457
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: playing for forty five minutes, and it's just the songs

458
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: weren't really there. And I just was like in the

459
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 2: back of my bus one day and I remember thinking,

460
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a bluegrass record. I'm wanna make a

461
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: bluegrass record and a country record, and just I need

462
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: to get creative. That's what I kept thinking, is I

463
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: need to get creative, because when you're in that opening slot,

464
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: especially after you've headlined for a little while, it's technic

465
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: go back and just do forty five minutes of the

466
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: same show every night. You know, you're trying to make

467
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 2: the most of that forty five minutes, so you kind

468
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: of get locked into doing the same show and just

469
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: killed all of us. So I left and mid ended

470
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 2: up making just just a bluegrass record, and uh it

471
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: really and I went back in the process of making that,

472
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: being off the grid and not worrying about singles or

473
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: touring or anything, just trying to make a great record

474
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: that's stood alone by itself and existed just for itself

475
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: totally rechanged my thinking. And you know, I started looking

476
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: around people like Miranda Lambert and you know, she only

477
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: writes half an album, if even that, you know, and

478
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: Lady A and these people at the time were like,

479
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: you know, they're collecting great songs. You know, they came

480
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: to realize that after your second album, you can't write

481
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 2: an entire album. Just there's no time. You're touring all

482
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: the time, you see so many of the responsibilities. I

483
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: was married at this point, with the kids too, So

484
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: the Blue Guys record, you know, I was working with

485
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: the guy of John Randall, one of my best friends,

486
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: and he was bringing me great songs from Christopherson and

487
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: Buddy Miller and just we started making a collection of

488
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: an album that had my input but also had songs

489
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: that kind of rounded out what I was trying to

490
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: say or the feel of the album. And I carry

491
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: that on with working with Ross Kauferman into the next

492
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: couple of albums and uh, really trying to make albums

493
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: that don't worry about touring, do worry about anything. Who cares?

494
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Just make a great record and one of the great things.

495
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Now I don't know an a lister, but where in

496
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: my career is there's the better off you are doing

497
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: touring and more of you you have those fans, more

498
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: freedom you have to say, who cares, Let's make the

499
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: record you really want to make. I feel like that's

500
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: why Keith is making like his best records, Keith Thurman's

501
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: records me just get better and better each time because

502
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: I feel like he's even more like I don't care.

503
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make great music that makes me happy that

504
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: I like and hopefully you like it too. But there's

505
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: no there's no math behind it. You know, it's just

506
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: totally it's pure arts and you didn't have to worry

507
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: about where He's gonna get his next meal. You know,

508
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: he's just making great records. And I feel like there's

509
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: on both ends of the spectrum. When you're first starting

510
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 2: off and you're so hungry, and then when you get

511
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: to place you have a little bit of success and

512
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: you have that freedom that it brings to you, you can

513
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: really make your best records.

514
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's what's happening now. I'm not

515
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: sure to answer your question, but yeah, you and Keith

516
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: getting long pretty well.

517
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: I love him, man, It's hard for me to be

518
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: friends with them because I just have so much respect

519
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: for him. It's like we're good friends, but at the

520
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: same time, like you're Keith Urban.

521
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: It's almost it's almost like why do you This is

522
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: the feeling I have with him because him and I

523
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: are closer than him than me and other arts. Yeah,

524
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: and he's one of the guys I like, and we'll

525
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: talk to off the show. But it's like I was like,

526
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: why do you want to be friends with me? Like

527
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: you're so smart? Yeah, and you're so talented and you're

528
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: so rich, Like everything about you is way better than

529
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: why would you want to be friends with me? That's

530
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: how I feel with him.

531
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: He is for me. He's like a he's like a beacon.

532
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: He's something I look up to for advice on just

533
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: for for lifestyle and management and how you approach things.

534
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: And he's just he's so present, which is something I

535
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: always you know, that's my main thing with anything I do,

536
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: is trying to be as present as possible in the

537
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: moment that I'm in. And he really is a true

538
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: reflection of that. I mean when you speak to him,

539
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: when you talk to him, he's so focused on what

540
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: you have to say. He's listening, and it's very uncommon

541
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: in this business full you know, singers and people are

542
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: trying to look at me, and you know, are have

543
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 2: like five seconds looking into your eyes and they're kind

544
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 2: of thinking about the next thing. He's just really focused

545
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: and present and has great advice and he's been through

546
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: a lot, so he can offer a good good gems.

547
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 2: But whenever I see him, it choosing on a Sunday, uh,

548
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 2: and we're doing some with our kids or something, and

549
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm like coming off the road and just beat up

550
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: my brain. His brain's already functioning faster than mind. Anyway,

551
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: I'm coming off like no sleep, I'm tired, I'm trying

552
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: to make conversation with him, like hopefully I see you

553
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: one day and I'm not like just so exhausted because

554
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: it'd be fun to talk like I have an actual conversation.

555
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: Hank Tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back. Wow,

Speaker 2: so like she's this girl is like licking me, and

629
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm not trying to do anything, and like,

630
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, because I gotta go right back in the

631
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: bus until my wife would just happen. You know, I

632
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: can't lie about this is gonna be on TV. Come

633
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 2: back in the bus. And my wife's like, so how'd

634
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: that go. I'm like, well, yeah, it was.

635
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: It was something.

636
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: And I think that was one of the last videos

637
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: I did where it's not all I'll do whatever it

638
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 2: takes to help to help the song, not commercially, but

639
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: just the story. You know, the song is all that

640
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: matters in this town, so all matters me, and there's

641
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: a video that can help tell that story about it.

642
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: And then I'll do whatever it takes, you know, I'll

643
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: go anywhere and do anything. But I'm just not an actor.

644
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: And you look at Keys videos. Just recently did he

645
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: start kind of going back into some acting stuff. For many, many,

646
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: many years, Keith was just play guitar and let the

647
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: actors do the acting, let the singer do the singing

648
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: and make a great story video, not try to do

649
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: the whole thing, and of respect to that. And it

650
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: makes sense because I'm not very not very good actor.

651
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: If there's a hot girl licking your neck and you're

652
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: in your boxers like band aids, but how do you

653
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: can still your fasties? You know what? Just mind control?

654
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: Jedi mind control.

655
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: But I don't have I don't have it.

656
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: I know no. And that's what it's like. I'm you

657
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 2: just have to like baseball, Grandma, baseball toilet. It's total,

658
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: just like it's Jedi mind control. It's not gonna happen.

659
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: I can't let it happen.

660
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: Have some songs here, oh man, it's place of this stuff.

661
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: How about this one right here?

662
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: Put that crossed my mind a little too, because I

663
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: was thinking.

664
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: When you first though that comes on you hear this

665
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: up here?

666
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 2: Reverse great song right here in town. And really without Bread,

667
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have anything. He really took me under his

668
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: wing as a writer. And I learned so much from

669
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: Bread about writing. And this is back when like we

670
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: had like the shoe box tape recorders, you know, for

671
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: and pit and paper. And he taught me how to write.

672
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 2: One of the things he tom was just a you

673
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: think out loud and paper. Don't talk the whole time

674
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: in your writing songs for somebody, Just to work on

675
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: something when you got an idea. Maybe. But and I

676
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: remember playing that for Autumn House, who was an art

677
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 2: at a Capitol. I found her outside exiting. I grabbed

678
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: my guitar, ran after her to exciting she came out

679
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: of there. I sat her down on my tailgate played

680
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: her that song acoustically. I was going to the studio

681
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 2: the next day. And she's like, cut that song. That's great.

682
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: So you run out to some prominent person here in town,

683
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: say hey, stop and have her watch you sing a song.

684
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: She was an A and R. She still is over Capitol Records.

685
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: And and I she was in the club I think

686
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: it exitent and hearing listened to somebody and I texted her,

687
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: text her I called her and she met me outside

688
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: and I played it for acoustically, like outside the club,

689
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: and uh, because I thought it was a be a

690
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: big hit. Oddly enough, I fought really hard for that

691
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: not to be the first single, So what did you

692
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: want to be? The first song called Wish It Would Break,

693
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: which is more of a country thing. You know, it's

694
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: about your wishing your car steer would break. Because every

695
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: song plays your mind, your girl, we're stening this picture

696
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 2: frame would break that keeps falling down, but you don't

697
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: have the heart to throw it away because it's the

698
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: picture of the two of y'all. In the last verse

699
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: is about wishing your heart breaks, you just move on.

700
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: It's a great song and I wrote that with Brett

701
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: but Duncan Mike Dunan from capitols like we're going clothes,

702
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: I think.

703
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: So and you're glad, Yeah, all right, here we go.

704
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: Come a little cols hear that song makes me think

705
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: of Chesney. I wrote that Brett Beavers, but Chesney said

706
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: that was a song that when you heard that come

707
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: on the radio, that's the reason why he took me

708
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: back out on the roads.

709
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: And do you man, and you do so many I

710
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: hate people do this to me too.

711
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: No, but I haven't heard that. I don't play that

712
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: song live anymore. So I love hearing that. It's a

713
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: great song.

714
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: You don't play it's a little slow.

715
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: It's great.

716
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: And you say a little slow because you feel like

717
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: it takes the crowd down.

718
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta make a roller coaster out there

719
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: when you're in. You gotta find a way to take

720
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: people on the ride. And you can only have you

721
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: got to pick your you know, our show is so

722
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: high energy, and that's but what makes the show great

723
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: is and what makes those high energy songs work is

724
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 2: the real moments and and and that. Then you can

725
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: only have so many in that song. Just there's just

726
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: no room for that one right now?

727
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: All right about this one? Probably my favorite songs.

728
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: Another song I don't do the live show anymore, but uh,

729
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: I do it usually earlier the.

730
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: Night in the acoustics show.

731
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: But uh, when I think of that video, I think

732
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: that song through the video for it, because there's a

733
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: scene where I'm getting rained on by.

734
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: A rain machine and there but you can tell us

735
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: know the rain like anywhere else in my mind, it's

736
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: like just coming on. It's like the cartoon Whenever Guys

737
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: on the Bat. It's such a great video.

738
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: There's just that one moment, because you know, if you're

739
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: you care so much about the work you do, you're like, oh,

740
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: that one scene drives you crazy. But Chris Sick, you

741
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: did that video. It's actually one of the best videos

742
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: we ever did. And uh, that song is I love

743
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: that song, man, It's one of my favorite songs. But

744
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: I usually do it. I do a pre show acoustic

745
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: performance for some folks. I usually don't doing that song.

746
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: It's a good one.

747
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: I went to watch John Mary a couple of weeks ago.

748
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: I know how was that was? Speaking of bone? Did

749
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: you get one? I did move a little bit the

750
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: whole time. The whole thing.

751
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't gross was a picture of my get it moved.

752
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: It was fully the It was like by y yeah,

753
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: And so I went, now a point I was gonna

754
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: get to.

755
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: That's so funny, dude, I had. I genuinely had a yeah.

756
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: But you went to John Mayer so for slow down

757
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: it was yeah. Moments I come back to.

758
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Have no idea amazing had a point he did? He

759
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: did who I don't know. I talked about the song that.

760
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: I wrote that song and launched Blown the same day

761
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: with Brett Beeavers and then into Steve Bogarten. You know,

762
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: it's a great song. I would say it's one of

763
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: the songs that it could say more. I mean thought was,

764
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: you know, it was a number one, but it wasn't

765
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: like a that was the lead single off an album

766
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: and it just wouldn't do much. People still love us,

767
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: I still do it live, but I used that song

768
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: for a lot of video content of like our life

769
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: on the Road. But that's a song that, if I'm

770
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: being totally honest in critiquing myself, just didn't say enough.

771
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: You know. The verses need to be more specific and

772
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: more biting, and more personal and more telling who you

773
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: are or the story you're trying to tell and just

774
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: not so interchangeable. So that I love that song, but

775
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: I was listening to That's one thing every song you

776
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: put out I put up on this one on has

777
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: to be like, say, something really impactful or you know,

778
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: every line has to be just perfect.

779
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: I know what it is. I remember what it was. Yeah.

780
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: So I went to John Mayer and he had these packages.

781
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: He was that they sell right, and it was like,

782
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't buy one of them. I'm lucky enough. Oh yeah, yeah,

783
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: I get to go hang out. Yeah and so. But

784
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: it was like, if you're a super fan, you could

785
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: play like eight hundred bucks and you could go walk

786
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: backstage and get like a banana and touch John's I

787
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you do? Yeah?

788
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: Is there a little tour to see?

789
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: Yes, there's yes guitar and you pay one hundreds and

790
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: then you get you meet him and whatever. Do you

791
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: do that part of it where you're like pay because

792
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: it is worth something to get the experience.

793
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: We do a thing where you pay extra nine dollars,

794
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: but you're pay and you come back to the rooms

795
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: you get you get to come in before anybody else.

796
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: There's beer and alcohol and some food.

797
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: And I've seen that room. Yeah, and there's like a

798
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: little photo I saw people just paying money at the

799
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: butt for mayor.

800
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's a tough thing, you don't You want

801
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: to keep your ticket prices as low as possible, and

802
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: and and and and that's the whole thing out there.

803
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: Like one thing I think about from Garth Brooks is

804
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: low ticket prices. Man, it's the coolest thing you want

805
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: to keep.

806
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 1: It's not the ticket though, that's what that's.

807
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: But if you want to, like, yeah, if you want to,

808
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 2: like you know, if I go to see it, if

809
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: you're going to see you two or something, they offered

810
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: like some sort of like backstage thing. I would want

811
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: that because I'm a super fan. But yeah, that's and

812
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: I think it's the fans of one. It's a cool

813
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: deal because we we we do a lot. I used

814
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: to just be by myself and guitar, but the guys,

815
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: my man, they're sitting around and they're like, one guy,

816
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: Ben started playing with me on the guitar because he's like,

817
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't eventhing to do. I'd love to go pick

818
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: And then Cassidy came out and started playing bass and

819
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: a kick drum, and then Dan bars fiddle. It's like

820
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: a full show. Now we play like forty minutes. It's

821
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: like a really fun Why.

822
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: Your voice sucks on Monday if you're playing six shows

823
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: in three days?

824
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah we're and we do a lot of

825
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: like backstage just kind of playing as well. So it's

826
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: kind of fried, but it's for them. It's really fine.

827
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: It's really it's really it's what's cool about it's it's

828
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: acoustic and it's plugged end, but it's acoustic, and it's

829
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm taking requests, We're telling jokes and telling stories, and

830
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: it's it's long. It's my It's only supposed to be

831
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, but ends up being like sometimes thirty four minutes.

832
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: You and I know in the Nashville show you got

833
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: really sick before the show.

834
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't, I can think, I can't.

835
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: No.

836
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: I did the acoustic thing that night, but it was

837
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: a little bit of a stretch.

838
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say. I was just like, how

839
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: do you do it? Because I remember talking to you

840
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: before the show and you're like, I have literally have

841
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: an ivy bag. You took a picture of you had water,

842
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: you were hooked up. Yeah, a needle in you.

843
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: I did an ivy and a steroid at twelve and

844
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: a steroid at six. It's like your worst nightmare, Like

845
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: you just played Nashville, playing your hometown show, and it's

846
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: like to have no voice. Uh, it's it's it was

847
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: a It makes me like get the heb gs just

848
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: thinking about that moment.

849
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: It ended up being a great night.

850
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 2: It was such so cathartic that actually, when your voice

851
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: starts working, you're like, Wow, I'm gonna make it. This

852
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: is gonna happen. But leading up to that, whole day

853
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: was it was terrible. But I was able to do

854
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: the acoustic deal and I just had to cancel some

855
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: mean greets and stuff.

00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: place flooded. Let me get to my point here. My

880
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: girlfriend was out and my neighbor comes over to the

881
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: house and starts knocks on the door, and Lenza is

Speaker 1: And so there's like cardboard and we don't like that.

885
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: So she was like, okay, great. So my girlfriend like

886
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: gets bungee cables and straps them to the wood and

887
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,120

888
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: to her because she gives her. She's like, hey, if

889

923
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: and Western tour buses.

924
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: They come by your house and say that's what lives.

925
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: Oh no, it used to be like six seven times

926
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: a day.

927
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm out.

928
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: You got to I don't think they can get around

929
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: up here. But yeah, they about a little bit. You know,

930
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 2: there are those folks in there.

931
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: It's all good, you know, it is all good. Ninety

932
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent. I like our listeners are the greatest,

933
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: but it's when you get the one point the point

934
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: one percent person who I have.

935
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: But I should say too, I have a lot of

936
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: security features and I have guns as well too. I

937
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: mean we're we're I'm recording stuff.

938
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: I can believe these things drive by your house like

939
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: I would call them at their work and be like, hey.

940
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: Listen, no, let's not do this. There's a time you

941
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 2: got those thoughts like gonna put.

942
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: Like nails in the road or something. No, I never

943
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: had that thought. I never had all put nails in

944
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: the road.

945
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: Well I have, I've gone, I've gone, I've playing my

946
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: life now. I'm like it's all it's it's all good,

947
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: but you could go the other direction well as well,

948
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 2: and do like what guys like web Peers, big country

949
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: singer in the sixties. He used to have buses stop

950
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: his house and sell him pool water. He would literally

951
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: jarb like little bar. It was pool for five dollars.

952
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: You can have some web peers to pull water. So

953
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: does that mail? This doesn't work out for me? You know,

954
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: maybe I'll start selling out some I don't have a pool,

955
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 2: I'll start selling uh, grass clippings.

956
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: Speaking of yards, The Bobby Cast will be right back.

957
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: This is the Bobby Cast.

958
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: Do you have to cook you ever? Do you put

959
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: the kid lunches together?

960
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: Are uh my wife does does lunches in the morning?

961
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: Or we met tag team? This is a's a it's

962
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: a full on tag team session in the morning. So

963
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 2: everyone's kind of a little bit everything. But it seems

964
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: like she usually makes the PB and Jay sandwich was.

965
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: What's it too? Because everybody knows you as the guy

966
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: that does the music? But what's a Tuesday like for you?

967
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: Get up at four forty four? It gives me in

968
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 2: one minute too, because thirty seconds complain and and talk

969
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: about I don't want to get up and gives me

970
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: thirty seconds to actually start think about the positives of

971
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: how I feel after I work out. I go to

972
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: the gym, the group work out from five to to

973
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: five fifty five.

974
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: You do a group work out, Yeah, do people stare

00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: at you and go there's no no, I don't know.

976
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: That's all.

977
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: No one cares. I mean, it's all it's all good, good, good.

978
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: Everyone's there. People are working out five o'clock in the morning.

979
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 2: They don't care who I am.

980
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: They're they're hardly You said like, I want to tell

00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: yoga glasses now, and I was terrible. I'm terrible at yoga, right,

982
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: I had three of you. I'm embarrassed because I'm not

983
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: good at it. Three people coming to me and be like,

984
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: hey by, we're doing yo. And I'm just humiliated because

00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: they watch.

986
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 2: They can't.

987
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: Maybe you just don't know.

988
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: No, I don't that you know. It's all. It's all

Speaker 2: in the morning. These people are not they're there to

991
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: work out. They're not really that interested in who else

992
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 2: is there. It's a really hard work out. It's freaking exhausting.

993
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: They get home and I you know, hopefully everyone's still

994
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 2: asleep because they need to be asleep, but my house

995
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: always has gone up sorely, and we just you know,

996

Speaker 2: trying to get that morning time is kind of like

Speaker 1: Will you write with somebody else for them? At this point?

1018
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: Are you just writing for yourself?

1019
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: I just write for myself. I don't think I'm I

1020
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: think enough writer to write for the people. I'd love

1021
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: to get a cut from somebody else, but I think, hey,

1022
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: when I see someone else, right, when I see another

1023
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: artist's name on a song, my first thought is like,

1024
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 2: how come this song wasn't good enough for you? But

1025
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: you're pitching it to me, you know? And second I don't.

1026
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: I just I don't have the time, and I don't

1027
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: think i'm I mean, I I from writing with guys

1028
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: like John Knight and Ross Coffrom, and every day I'm

1029
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: sure I could get something cut by somebody else because

1030
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: those guys are on fire.

1031
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: But I just right for me, I asked, because I

1032
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: guess three or four days ago you text her like, hey,

1033
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: let's all that's right, that's me and Ross right. And

1034
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: I was like, what did I say? You can tast

1035
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: exactly what I said back to you. You said, hey,

1036
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: let's write. What was my response?

1037
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: He said, No, I'm not good enough for somebody.

1038
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: I said, I don't deserve to have to sit and

1039
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: write with Dirk's and Ross. That's that's the I only

1040
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: do anything I would never do.

1041
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: I only do stuff now at this point my career

1042
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: that like interests me, excite excites me. This is fun

1043
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: And the idea of you, me and Ross in a

1044
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: room writing would be really fun because he's such a

1045
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: positive guy.

1046
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: Some people in this town that you could write like

1047
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: that's what I was like. I was like, no, I

1048
00:41:59,440 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: don't kids.

1049
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: We could get something really great, would be really we

1050
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 2: could get something really good.

1051
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: But I don't deserve that.

1052
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: It's not a deserved it. Of course you deserve it,

1053
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, we don't. We don't deserve anything we're doing.

1054
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 2: We serve everything well, we work for and make it happen.

1055
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: And there's our Jake momentary fight.

1056
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: I oh, you know what I mean? You deserve to

1057
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: be that. Why would you not deserve to be in

1058
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 2: that room? Because not to do that, I mean you're

1059
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: on stage by yourself doing comedy, which is probably sounds

1060
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: like the living like that sounds like a hell to me.

1061
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: It sounds like like my it.

1062
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like I was come out. I can never

1063
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: do that.

1064
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 2: I tell to their jokes on stage and they usually

1065
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: bomb and I usually say okay, I'll get back to

1066
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: the scene. Thanks for listening. So but you know, I

1067
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: don't know an'll think its a matter of deserve. It's

1068
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,360

00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: that you're going, people always go out.

1228
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: Phones or in the airphones.

1229
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: One if our phones are actually keeping us to people

1230
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: that we would never talk to, it's true, but I do.

1231
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: So I have kids now too, though, So I know

1232
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 2: there's guys out there in Silicon Valley. There are geniuses.

1233
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 2: It's been their whole lives thinking about it. How could

1234
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: I make an eight year old completely addicted to this device.

1235
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 2: And these are smart, smart people working with unlimited funds

1236
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: and on their coding all the time. And my daughter

1237
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: gets on an iPad and it's completely hooked to some

1238
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 2: game and she's just an experiment to these people. Same

1239
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 2: as Instagram, the stuff they got going on where you

1240
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: try to keep the streak alive. You know, how many

1241
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 2: days in a row have you texted this you know whatever, Instagram,

1242
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: this person. It's like it's all geared towards we're We

1243
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: grew up without this stuff, so brains have a chance

1244
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: to function. But when you see it through your kids

1245
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: and how it's just not right. Man. So I have

1246
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 2: to leave. By example, if I have my phone out,

1247
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: it just takes once a bunch of times for your

1248
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: kid to go dad. You know, so sorry, you just

1249
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 2: feel like the worst person. So I don't even take

1250
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 2: that phone in the house, Like I just I'm all,

1251
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: I have a flip phone. My wife has the number,

1252
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 2: Mary has the number, and it's like if anyone needs

1253
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: me and my wife, you know, they can get touched me.

1254
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: But it's the freedom is unbelievable. But yeah, as far

1255
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 2: as friends go, you know, I've been emailing more. I

1256
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 2: just like I am better off an email. I'll write

1257
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: longer emails to do it through that because I gotta

1258
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 2: sit down and not just constantly just like on that

1259
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: thing and try to crazy. Do your kids do they

00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 2: to bring it today? I'm mean to bring my flip phone,

1261
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 2: but I forgot it.

00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: They dourchases like where they buy the things inside the game,

1263
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: and then you get the billing.

1264
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: You're like, whoa. And then they don't do iPads. They

Speaker 2: only get iPads on the weekends and not that much.

1266
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,440

Speaker 2: more and more figured out who he is and what

1454
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: he wants to do.

1455
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: What was that for you? What was the song that

1456
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,040

1458
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,880

1467
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,600

1473
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 2: song I play it, it's just like it loses in

1474
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 2: a different direction. It's it's it's more as like this

1475
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 2: instead of this. It's like we just come together over

1476
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: the shared sentiment of wolding onto things that means something

1477
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: to you. And that's the most important song.

1478
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: Important, but not the one you felt flipped you like,

1479
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,120

1485
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I almost didn't even put it on the record.

1486
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: Who makes that call then to put it on the

1487
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: record just you know, I'm so.

1488
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Everyone I work with there's such an open communication. If

1489
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: I like even the label with Mike and sending everyone

1490
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 2: capital if if I have doubts about something, they don't

1491
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: immediately jump on that new set to promote their genda.

1492
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Everyone just is like cool.

1493
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: We all work out together and work with Mary and

1494
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 2: we just kind of like and our tour and my

1495
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: executive producer and Ross and just okay, let's put it

1496
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: on there, you know.

1497
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: But then to make it a stingle, are you talking

1498
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: about like complete leftist center?

1499
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 2: No? No, I remember, like that's all will never work, man,

1500
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 2: rednecks don't fly like I don't know. I don't know

1501
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: if it will work either, but it's it's I'm a

1502
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 2: pilot and I love you know. At the time, it

1503
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 2: was empty drinks and it was it was, but it

1504
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 2: is a huge song for me, for sure.

1505
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: It was an it was a monster. Yeah, and then

1506
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: it flew up the charts. Yeah, it's big. I remember

1507
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: the day it came on the radio. We did a

1508
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: debut like a world mirra and it played all day

1509
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: long and I won't say it is, but I was like, man,

1510
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: this sounds really good, right because I like things that

1511
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: are different. Yeah, I don't. I like taking a big

1512
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: chance and hitting home runs more so than being consistent

1513
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,919
Speaker 1: and just you know, having that three hundred batting average. Yeah,

1514
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: so it came out. I was like, man, I love

1515
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the song because this is not like anything else.

1516
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1517
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: That one of our radio gups was a big radio guy.

1518
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: He was like, this suck.

1519
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: Sucks.

1520
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: It was like, this is never gonna work. It's too weird. No,

1521
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: it's not. He obviously it wasn't right because but like,

1522
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I love this song. You know what song I love

1523
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: yours it didn't work for you was Bourbon in Kentucky, Yeah,

1524
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: with you and Casey. I loved that song too.

1525
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 2: That album cycle was so fun except put up Bourbon

1526
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 2: it didn't work, pulled it back, put out I Hold On,

1527
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 2: which probably you know was a huge song for me.

1528
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Then Drunk on a Plane, which was obviously the biggest

1529
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 2: song off that album. But Bourbon, it was a great

1530
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: song that Hillary Lindsay wrote, and I just I love

1531
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 2: that song. And I had to call her up. She's

1532
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: down to Orange Beach. She had a few drinks and

1533
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: I was like hey, She's like, Hey, what are you doing.

1534
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 2: I was like you're not gonna believe this, but we're

1535
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: pulling that song. And she was like so confused. She's

1536
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: just like I thought the next time I heard from

1537
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: you would be like the number one party. I'm like,

1538
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 2: I have never had a pull song for my life.

1539
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: But it's the middle of summer and I'm getting all

1540
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: his feedback that the song's too dark and that's why

1541
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: I loved it, though I know, I know I love

1542
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: it too, and I just everyone's everyone around. He was like,

1543
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: it's just not going to work, and you can either

1544
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 2: work it for thirty weeks and have it die in

1545
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: the thirties or make a change. Now it's the first

1546
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: song off the record, and I hate that. It was

1547
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: a great tune, but yeah, just that's what happens sometimes.

1548
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: What for you, because the artist will come in and say, hey,

1549
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: this is like, for example, I think, who was it?

1550
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: My American kids like Kenny cut a little Big Town

1551
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: had it yeah, and Kenny cut it yeah, and so no, no,

01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: a little bit Gun had it. Yeah. Shane was telling

1554
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the story. Okay, now it's all sorts of yeah, a

1555
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: little Shane had it. He's on a flight and uh,

1556
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: he's on a flight with Kenned. He plays his song

1557
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: for kick. He's like, I gotta have the song, but

1558
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Shane's like, I'm too scared to tell him a little

1559
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: bit toown's already cut it. Yeah, so he has to

1560
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: call I have to call a little big down. Kenny

1561
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Cat said like, I would love to have this song,

1562
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: and she's like and Kenny's like, I want to make

1563
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: this the single, yeah, and he's like, it's up to you, guy,

1564
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: it's your song. You've already started paying, you're tracking it.

1565
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: And so a little big town gave the song American

1566
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Kids to Kenny. Yeah. So a lot of people came

1567
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: up with stories like man, I had this song and

1568
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: then I was like, yeah, last minute, I let it go.

1569
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of songs that like I heard

1570
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 2: and I because the main thing if you're picking singles

1571
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 2: you gotta pick are picking songs. You gotta pick songs

1572

1575
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 2: picked singles that are like made for you, you think

1576
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 2: the songs like Don't Close Your Eyes by Keith Whitley,

1577
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 2: songs that like We're Just as a singer was made

1578
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 2: for that song John Party song during My Boots. I

1579
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 2: heard that song. I think before he you know, before

1580
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 2: he cut it, And what did you think when you

1581
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:50,960

01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 2: This is a monster, this is a huge song. There's

1584
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 2: a lying there about a tractor, you know, and I

1585
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 2: was like that, just I don't have that tractor factor,

1586
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, I don't have that thing. It's not what

1587
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 2: I do. So like, I can either try to change

1588
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 2: this song up to make it work for me, or

1589
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 2: just let it go and help those guys, you know.

1590
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: I want the songwriters. I want them to find for songwriters, man,

1591
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 2: they might get one or two great Well, these guys

1592
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 2: they probably get five great songs a year.

1593
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Right.

1594
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to stand in away someone's like baby

1595
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 2: and tied up, because that's the way Nationville used to be.

1596
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 2: People to hold songs for like years, you know, hold

1597
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 2: thirty forty songs for the record, and the hold was

1598
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: respected nowadays as it should be. It's not like you

1599
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 2: either cut it or you don't. And if you're you know,

1600
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: you're taking your time I'm gonna pitch it to somebody

1601
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 2: else and get them to cut it. You know, songwriters

1602
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: have more power now, I think than they did back

1603
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: in the late nineties. But so that song Whiskey Lullaby

1604
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: is a song that came that I that I that's

1605
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 2: a good herd And I was like, ah, and then

1606
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 2: and why why not that one?

1607
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: What?

1608
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: What? What? That? I just uh, I don't know just what,

1609
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 2: you know. I didn't hear it as a duet that

1610
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 2: the way Brad heard it, which is genius. It just

1611
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 2: wasn't I don't know. I just didn't have it, didn't

1612
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 2: do it, didn't do something for me. I don't know

1613
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 2: what it was. But there's that happens all the time.

1614
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: But for me, it's I ever go, oh my gosh,

1615
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm kicking myself. I'm always like, I'm happy for that

1616
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 2: that song found the right home and made its way.

1617
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: There's there's always another song out there.

1618
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Who have you heard the opposite where you got this long?

1619
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Because somebody else was like, no, made a hit and

1620
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: they have to be Oh man, No, somewhere on the

1621
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: beach was a big deal. It really was.

1622
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 2: Man, that was like, uh, yeah, I had this song

1623
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 2: on hold, and there's five guys that wrote that song,

1624
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people wanted that song, and

1625
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 2: I just, uh, who wanted it got wrote one of

1626
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 2: those the writers of the song. I'm totally drawing a

1627
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 2: blank right now my brain is what happens when you're

1628
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 2: on the road for three day straight. But well, actually,

1629
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 2: Michael Knox, I think I think Michael Knox wanted it

1630
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 2: for one of his artis is what it was. And

1631
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 2: we kept saying our tour. I Luckily I don't to

1632
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 2: fight those battles. My one of my producers really goes

1633
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 2: in the trenches for that stuff. And it worked out

1634
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: as a big hit for for me and it helps

1635
01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 2: them go on the road and kind of have a

1636
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 2: song talk about. But at the same time, I know

1637
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 2: it's to be tough when you're a new artist. You know,

1638
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 2: a big song that it's different, you can kind of

1639
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: set you apart from other people. But hopefully they're happy

1640
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: it was a big hit.

1641
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's like lady, you know, Lady has you

1642
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: look good? And and that was Thomas Rhet's first that's

1643
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: his song and it was he didn't write it, he

1644
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: had it okay, and he was like he was gonna

1645
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: cut it. It's awesome the whole, I mean and the whole.

1646
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: But every artist does different things with it too. Yes,

1647
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: that's what we don't know too, Like, yeah, what are

1648
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: you going to do different about? Like Kenny's totally was

1649
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: like this beach vibe. Who knows how Little Big Tow

1650
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Wou'd cut it and tracked when what they would have

1651
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: had as a part of this song, and it's it's yeah, totally,

1652
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, I think all you can do.

1653
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the business we're in and in

1654
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 2: life in general, is you have to like you cannot

1655
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: like hold like that you can. You got to be

1656
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: have an attitude of gratitude and be thankful for what

1657
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 2: you got. And if something it's all meant to be,

1658
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 2: it's it's it's there's a reason why you didn't cut

1659
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: that song. There's just want someone else cut that song,

1660
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 2: and otherwise your drivers all crazy and you would be

1661
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 2: resentful and you're gonna be You're you're playing a small

1662
01:06:58,400 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 2: game and you should be playing a much bigger game

1663
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 2: where you're looking at a macro view of it, not

1664
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 2: just this micro like song song, song, song song. If

1665
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 2: you're you know that's not that's not the work.

1666
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: People trying to pitch you songs all the time. Not

1667
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: not your people and not people that are in your

1668
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: second tier. But like walking down the street people.

1669
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: I get stuff. Yeah, I get stuff, obviously it shows.

1670
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 2: And my email a dress A lot of people have

1671
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: email address. I get a lot of songs out there

01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: And but you do try to listen to them. Maybe.

1674
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pretty quick. I mean I can go

1675
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: seven eight seconds and know whether it's from me or not.

1676
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 2: It might be a great song, but it's not for me.

1677
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: What about the legalities of it though? Because I have

1678
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: I write dumb songs right on the road.

1679
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Is someone like hands me a CD, I don't touch it.

1680
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 2: It goes to Tom or Jr.

1681
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: One of my guys. And because you have songwriters insurance,

1682
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: because if I have to have it, you have it

1683
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: like crazy, right, you know, I don't know if I

1684
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: have her, you for sure if they're if my business

1685
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: manager makes me have it, find out.

1686
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 2: I know, like talking to guys in the town that

1687
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: have it and they say it's pretty amazing. But I'll

1688
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 2: find out right now if but I have it, I

1689
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: don't think I do.

1690
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: And maybe my business man makes me have it because

1691
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: she knows I probably accidently still a song, but I'm

1692
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: not good.

1693
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 2: That's funny.

1694
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: You have to make sure.

1695
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I find out right now.

1696
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I definitely have it. Let's see here, let's run throw

Speaker 2: a single. But I text Ryan all the time. You

1795
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does it feel like you live two lives?

1796
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: I do live two lives because it's I mean, like

1797
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: the normal dude during the middle of the week and

1798
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: then star on the weekends.

1799
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm literally I've had a chance to do like some

1800
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 2: TV stuff and it would make for great TV, but

1801
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 2: I just don't want to have like cameras on me.

1802
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 2: But because of aviation and because and and I'm treating

1803
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 2: myself on Who I am on the road is definitely

1804
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: who I am my fans. I'm honest and in front

1805
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 2: of them, and that's a big part of my personality.

1806
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 2: When I get on stage and go crazy. But I

1807
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 2: am will literally I'll be I'll be flying home and

1808
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 2: the next morning it when my kids are younger, I'll

1809
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 2: be like in a mommy me class with a TWIRLI baton,

1810
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: you know, like do things. But no one in the right,

1811
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 2: no one possibly think that I was doing this, you know,

1812
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 2: like because I mean I'm all in on the dad thing,

1813
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 2: like I I there's nothing beneath me, nothing I won't do.

1814
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 2: I will do anything, and so it's uh, it's definitely.

1815
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 2: I physically am two places at once too. I mean

1816
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 2: I get very little sleep. I you know, I'm up

1817
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 2: every morning early because I want to have a full

1818
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 2: life here and one thing it takes a toll on

1819
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 2: is the sleep. But I really am physically sometimes in

1820
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 2: two places at the same time.

1821
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 3: Hank tight the Bobby Cast will be right back, and

1822
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 3: we're back on the Bobby Cast.

1823
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I want to end on this and I wonder if

1824
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: it got a question for you? Cool? Okay, let me

1825
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: hit first and then I'll come up. You guess what, nap,

1826
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: I walk by your book every day. It was in

1827
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: my closet.

1828
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 2: They're not drives me crazy all the time. I see

1829
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 2: I go do you get paid down. The Naple thing nothing,

1830
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: zero question, I had zero.

1831
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: NAPA buys a studio sponsorship there and it's in there.

1832
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: And I wanted that book to be just random pictures,

1833
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: and so just like the book is all random stories

1834
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: and I just want and nap away. We had to

1835
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: make the decision do we not choose the picture because

1836
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 1: there's a logo or do it is a part of

1837
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: my life and a part of time. We were like,

1838
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: you know what, they just I really like working with

1839
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 1: now because they're fantastic. But also it was like, you know,

1840
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: this is nap the Weirdly, they're a big part of

1841
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: my life because they allow me to eat. The sponsors

1842
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 1: of the show allowed me to eat. We had to

1843
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: have a meeting to go in the picture of the

1844
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: book there's a NAPA logo. Do we cut it? Do

1845
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: we make it black? Absolutely? And it was just I

1846
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: just tried in that book too. As much of my life.

1847
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Very really was just let it be all the time.

1848
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: I was like, that's so funny you asked that, because

1849
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: we had a whole meeting about that. I was like, this,

1850
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: let it be, no no money extra, we I don't

1851
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: think we never even told them they we know. Yeah,

1852
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: oh kay my question. So when the ACMs happened and

1853
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: you're you were hosting, I was back for a present

1854
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: and it was crazy how calm and chill you were

1855
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: in between. We were just talking before going on, and

1856
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I was about to go on to do Album of

1857
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: the Year, and I was rooting for you, and I

1858
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: said publicly I wanted you to Album of the Year.

1859
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 1: You didn't win, which sucked, but I wanted you to win,

1860
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: and so I opened I looked at the card ahead

1861
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, and I saw that it was Miranda

1862
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: who won, and I went over to Mary and told her,

1863
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: so if she wanted to tell you, so, you wouldn't

1864
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: be like, let did she tell you or did you

1865
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: see it live?

1866
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: I saw live? I mean, because you know the ward

01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 2: know anyone more competitive than me. I'm really really competitive.

1869
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 2: But and there's times I've lived and died by the

1870
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 2: award shows. And I'm in a place now where I

1871

Speaker 2: really I love being nominated. It's awesome. Winning would be nice,

1872

Speaker 2: great friend and I'm happy for she.

1900
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: And it was a double album. As an art piece,

1901
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: it was a fantastic art piece. I'm just saying for you.

1902
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 1: I looked. I wanted to see it that. I went

01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,320
Speaker 1: and told Mary, your manager. I was like, he didn't win,

1904
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: so if you want to tell him, just so, she's

1905
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: used to not winning.

1906
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 2: My sister calls me the Susan Lucie of country music,

1907
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 2: so hey, better be that than nothing else. But I

1908
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm I'm so appreciative of every worship.

1909
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: No nomine for him.

1910
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 2: Say this in all honesty, but I would tell any

1911
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 2: younger writers out there, do not make that your goal.

1912
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 2: Do not look at Kenny. He never want anything till

1913
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 2: like he was already playing stadiums. Lutism win a whole

1914
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 2: lot of stuff. Uh, he didn't start winn until he's

1915
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 2: already playing stadiums. I do not focus on winning a

1916
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: piece of hard ware. It's so silly, and it's a

1917
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 2: lot of it's voted on. As you know, I'm not

1918
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 2: going to tell the listeners, you know, just enjoy your stake.

1919
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 2: You don't want to see how it's made. It's it's

1920
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 2: not a free process. That stuff gets on.

1921
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 1: It's really not, and it's not the true.

1922
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 2: Judge of Like what is good is your audience When

1923
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 2: you go out there and they stand front the microphone

1924
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 2: and they sing songs back to you. That's what any

1925
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: younger artis should be focused on. And that's what I

1926
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 2: focus on. There's times in the middle of my career

1927
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 2: where I didn't and I got frustrated. But I man,

1928
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:24,800

01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 2: My son's favorite song. I know, oh, I know, the

1980
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 2: whole song is my son Knox's three. I mean, maybe

1981
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 2: we listen, they'll call me maybe, like still ten times

1982
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,600
Speaker 2: in the car we just got into it. Hey, I

1983
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 2: just met you. This is crazy, but here's my number,

1984
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 2: so call me maybe. And all the other boys try

1985
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 2: to chase me, but here's my number. Call me maybe.

1986
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,679

1988
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 2: But it's embarrassing. My son loves that song. I think

1989
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 2: it must have you know what it was in the

1990
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 2: movie Sing. That's the reason why I know there's a

1991
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 2: TV show a movie called Singing. Well, it's like American

1992
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: for cartoons.

1994
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 2: And oh my gosh, Matthew McConaughey, go back to your

1995
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 2: original thing about people you text and text you back,

01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 2: to do it, text a little bit leading up to it. Well,
