So this week I wanted to get 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: all of your questions answered. You guys submitted a lot 8 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: to me on my Instagram at Velvet's Edge, and I 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: asked them. I asked everything from how he takes his coffee, 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: to his favorite sexual position, to the pros and cons 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: of being famous, and if he'll ever bring the curls back. 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: I have a very strong reaction to that question. As 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: his groomer, I'm just saying, but listen up to get 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: all of Dirk's answers to these rapid fire questions and 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: also see what he has next on the present. Here's Dirks. Okay, 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: we're back, We're back. Okay. So I did ask my 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: followers on Velvet Edge what they wanted to know from you, 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: since you have a couple of just quick, rapid fire questions. Um, 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: what is your favorite part of the show. Do you 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: have like favorite song you love to perform. Gosh, that's 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,279 Speaker 1: such a great question. It's like it'd be asking someone's 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: your favorite part of roller Coaster, and it's probably feel 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: like the show is designed that way. Like once we 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: work so hard setting the show up. I mean, it 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 1: starts with me and Dan just working on songs together 26 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what songs even want to do, 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: and then working on the flow and transitions, bringing the 28 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: band in, all the work deals in there, and the 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: crew and then the video lights, and there's like months 30 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: and months of rehearsals. It's like building a roller coaster. 31 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: And I do that for many reasons, primarily so that 32 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: the first show feels like the hundred show for the 33 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: fans that come out to that very first show, but 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: also for me. My work is done, I get to 35 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: get on the ride and the show pulls me along. 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: It's so fun, Like I don't have to think once 37 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: I go into that first song, I'm literally getting pulled 38 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: along this ride and it's so fun for me and 39 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I get to like not worry about the actual physical 40 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: part of the ride the show. I get to worry 41 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: about stuff like raise your hands here, you know, or 42 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: scream here or all this stuff you're doing on a 43 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: roller coaster ride. You don't have to think about the 44 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: actual physical, you know, mechanics of it. So it's all awesome. 45 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not one part of it don't like. 46 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: If there's a part I don't like, I try to 47 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: try to make the weakest parts of my show and 48 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: the weakest parts of my life into like the best. 49 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: So there's a part that, like the b stage, the 50 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: part out in the middle of the slow songs that's 51 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: not working, how do I make that like the best 52 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: part of the show. Like it's all it's all awesome. 53 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: I guess this The downbeat of Bernie Man when we 54 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: first walk on stage is uh is is awesome? It's 55 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: probably different every place to right, Like every night just 56 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: feels different. It's it's like running a race, where like 57 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: when you're running long distances or something and you know 58 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: and you know that as a runner, like when you 59 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: cross that threshold where all a sudden it stops hurting, 60 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: It's like, WHOA, Now I could feel like I could 61 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: run forever. You reach that spot differently at every show. 62 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, if it's a Thursday, it might take a 63 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: little longer, or a supposed to Saturday, it's right away. Yeah, 64 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: I just never know. And then some places are just 65 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: crazier than others, and you you never know when you 66 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: across that spot where all a sudden it's like, wow, 67 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm inside the bubble here where it's like it's all 68 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: happening and it's just like there's the transformation of energy 69 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: from me to the audience is like seamless and we're 70 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: one and it's an amazing feeling. But I always find 71 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: a way to get there every night. Um, And but 72 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: it's different spots. I guess, Yeah, what is yours? Now 73 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: that you're back drinking? What's your drink of choice? I 74 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: try to stay um, you know, on the road. Before 75 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: I go on stage, I'm drinking. It's probably a little 76 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: like just vodka, just clean vodka, soda VA soda um. 77 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: And then you know, if I'm off the stage, that's 78 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: and maybe some tequila. But I never drink. I don't 79 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: drink dark liquor ever anymore, very very rarely. What happens 80 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: when you do, it's bad things. I drink so much 81 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Jim Being is it like Hank Junior, like Jim Beans? 82 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: So I like Jim Being. I drink a billion gallons 83 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: of it. I just I just don't drink as much 84 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: as I used to it. That's like a sipping thing. Um, 85 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I like beer. Yeah, like, I mean, I like but 86 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: like but heavy. You know, the most of the bodisor 87 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: products are my thing. And with cast one, yeah, Um, 88 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: will you ever bring the curls back? I wish I could. 89 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I know. I think it looked like stringy. I don't 90 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: think it had the same like you know that look 91 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

I see him. 95 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: I always telling them, like, dude, your hair is like zoysia, 96 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: like a golf course. I guess you could put a 97 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: golf ball on the top of trs like head and 98 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: it wouldn't even it wouldn't even move, It just stay 99 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: up there.

But we'll see how this 473 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: plays out. Okay, this is the last question. This is 474 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: my personal question. I'm just curious from this for you, 475 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: about this from you? So when all of this is 476 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: said and done. We've talked about this before a little bit, 477 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: but when you look back at your career, what do 478 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: you think is going to make you the most proud. 479 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: I think they'll make me the most proud is just 480 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: seeing the way my kids turn out. You know, that'll 481 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: be the sign of like, whether I did a good 482 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: job or not. There's no there's no distinguishing between like 483 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: music and like life, or music and marriage or music 484 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: and or anything. It's like there's just one experience, you know, 485 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: it's it's called life.
