00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,840

00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: So it's been really cool to kind of watch there's

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: a lot of uh, just a noise, I guess where

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to. I just like making music, and

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: my wife love loves to remind me that that song

00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: is about her. Yeah, Yeah, it's been it's been really cool,

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: and it's been nice to kind of be like, well,

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: every argument I get into with my wife, just remember

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,280

00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: So she's taking credit for your song. Oh of course,

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: pretty much, my success is her success. So okay, oh

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: wow to say that again, my success is her success.

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: Well do you mean that though? Yeah?

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: I think my wife and I, if you know the story,

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: like we we kind of went through all this together.

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: So it's been cool.

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your job. Yeah, being a vocalist. A

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: lot of fans of artists don't understand what it's like

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: being a vocalist. Sure, and then when you have a

62
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: tour going on and your your set lists are getting

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: longer and longer, you've got vocal cords, you have, you

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: have a throat that has to be working at all times.

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Don't answer that. I didn't ask a question. Being a

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: vocalist can be rough. I mean if you're on the

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: road and then you hit some notes that were restraining

68
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: you and then maybe you have to like take a

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: day off and you're like, well, yeah, people don't understand that.

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: Explain to you the science. To explain to me the

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: science of what you do for a living and how

72
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: you have to keep an eye on sure.

73
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean I wasn't always like a good singer, like

74
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: I you're just saying you're a good singer. Now, I

75
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: would say I'm somewhat decent.

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: I hope.

77
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 6: So he came on to be insulted today.

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: I've been doing vocal lessons like three times a week

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: for a very long time. And but to answer your thing, yeah,

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: it's it's an instrument, but it's also a muscle. I

81
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: think with you know, if you work out every single

82
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: day consistently straining yourself, eventually you're gonna wake up in

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: your arms feel like jello. So yeah, when you do

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: shows every day, like sometimes we'll do with five shows

85
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: in a row, seven shows in a row, and at

86
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: the end of it, you're like, oh my gosh, I

87
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: need to not talk, and so I'll spend days not

88
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: talking just to get my voice back.

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 6: About your wife loves that, she actually hates it with

90
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: a passion.

91
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it could communicating.

92
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: Is really that I have a phone app on my

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: phone that I talk and I love vocal resting. I

94
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: am so obsessed with it. Not talking is my favorite

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: thing in the world.

96
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: Well, you've come to the right place.

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but truly, Yeah, it's been.

98
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: It's it's definitely interesting.

99
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: I growing up, I was like, oh, like, these people

100
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: can sing their hearts off all these things, and it's like, no,

101
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: there's so much like resting and lessons to sing correctly

102
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: so you don't lose your voice. There's a lot that

103
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: goes into it that I did not realize. And what

104
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: you eat heavily affects how you sound.

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: As in the acids like tomatoes and things like that.

106
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, acidic foods like you think like a lot

107
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: of I just eat chicken and corn when I sing

108
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: no job, it's always.

109
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: No. I don't care about food really that much. Oh

110
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: my god, get out of here. A bunch of Goodenbobs

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: Italian food. You know. I'm just I just had a thought.

112
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I don't have any artist names, but people artist vocal

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: artists who train constantly. I wonder how their voices evolve

114
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: over the course of their careers. Like I wonder how

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: many artists you can listen to from the beginning of

116
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: their career and then maybe, let's say, ten years later,

117
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: they have this new richness to their voice they perfected it.

118
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: I mean, Teddy Swims is one of those people. Why

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: what a perfect voice? He already has right, right, But

120
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: he used to not be that great apparently, Like that's

121
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: what he says a lot. Like he's always like, oh, well,

122
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: I had to work really hard, and it's interesting, like

123
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: a lot of you have to put your voice through

124
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: a lot of trauma to get it to like really cooperate,

125
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: I guess, like comparative to where I am now a

126
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: year ago. Like it's a fully different vocal, which is

127
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 3: really really cool, and it just comes down with raps

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: and your voice gets used to it and then everything

129
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: gets easier and you get a lot of flexibility in

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: your voice, which is kind of boring when you you

131
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: kind of want to think of a singers like just

132
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,119
Speaker 3: naturally gifted, bored and singer. But a lot of times

133
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: a lot of it's learned.

134
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: Wow, why WoT everyone who is listening, who even following

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: an artist for a while, go back to their earlier

136
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: stuff and listen to their stuff. Now, see if you

137
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: can tell the different.

138
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean lous Capaldi's always sound the same, though.

139
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 6: I love that.

140
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: Batman is so talented.

141
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 6: He's he's back in the seat again, performed somewhere recently.

142
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: So we're hoping that's real.

143
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: Yes, that it seems to be like it's just random

144
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: old performances and people just go back.

145
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: I mean he's shown up somewhere the other day. He

146
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 4: actually stuck around and like really, and then.

147
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: I have yet to meet that man. I want to

148
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: meet him. This guy, we've had him a few times.

00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 5: were sort of talking. You mentioned it quickly earlier, the

158
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 5: story of you and your wife. Yeah, It's a fascinating story.

159
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: You guys, you started a hype house, right, I was

160
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: part of it, you're part of it. You were there

161
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 5: for a while creating music, and then the two of

162
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: you decided to leave. Yeah, and where did you go

163
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: from there?

164
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: Downhill?

165
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: No?

166
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: I yeah, I know we I created it with my

167
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: friend and it was just a fun time. But like

168
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: growing up, I always wanted to be a musician and

169
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: everyone just told me it was impossible. I wasn't that

170
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: amazing of a singer. And one day I posted a

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: singing video on the toilet and it blew up, and

172
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: with the.

173
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: Toilet blew up very well, chicken side.

174
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: Effect of ozampic is absolutely killing you. Okay, so I'm sorry.

175
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but I the video got like timbly abused.

176
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: The next day it was on some random side account,

177
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: and I finally was like, oh my gosh, I could actually,

178
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: you know, possibly be a music This would.

179
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Be really cool.

180
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 3: I put out a song I wrote about the loss

181
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: of my father, and it did really well, and the

182
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: rest is history.

183
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Look, I'm much older than you, obviously,

184
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: and both of my parents are gone. Okay, they were

185
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: around long enough to see me do pretty well in

186
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: my chosen field.

187
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 7: Whatever this is, it must be nice, do you Okay,

188
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 7: probably pretty much to answer my question, Yeah, no, but

189
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 7: I mean, do you I don't want to get too crazy,

190
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 7: but you do.

191
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: You find yourself chasing them in your dreams, going hey,

192
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: look what I'm doing here all the time, and hoping

193
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: that if they were still here it would change the

194
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: dynamic of that relationship.

195
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's something I struggle with a lot, because truthfully,

196
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: I have everything I have today because I lost them.

197
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: So it's crazy to think that I have the perfect

198
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: wife and the perfect life and the trade off was

199
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: giving up the two most important people in my life.

200
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, this is what I'm thinking about, and I want

201
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: people to understand that grief and for loss, you have

202
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: to recognize what you gain. Yeah.

203
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: I don't think you get to pick. I don't think

204
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: you get to pick the things you lose in life,

205
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: and I think that's the reason why you appreciate the

206
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: things you have. That's the hardest part about it is

207
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: really like, I'm very grateful to be alive. I'm very

208
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: grateful of the career I have. I'm very grateful for

209
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: the wins I've been able to accomplish. But I've also

210
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: had to give up a lot of things to be here.

211
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: And that's the trade off I guess you have in

212
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: life and how you can. I don't think I would

213
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: appreciate anything I have in my life right now if

214
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: I didn't lose them. I also don't think i'd be

215
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: the human I am today, nor would I've met my

216
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: wife or had a career. And so those are things that, sadly,

217
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: you have to live with when you go through life.

218
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: Was it Stephen Colbert who was being interviewed by CNN

219
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Anderson Cooper. They were talking about grief, right and he

220
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: said this line when it really stabbed me in the

221
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: heart in a great way. Stephen Colbert said, you must

222
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: be just as grateful and thankful for the awful, devastating

223
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: things that happened to you in life as you should

224
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: be for all the wonderful, wonderful, brightly colored things that

225
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: happened to you in life. And I think unless we stop,

226
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: unless we unless we totally forget to stop and think

227
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: about that, it's all for naught. But you're saying, and

228
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: you're acknowledging right here in front of all seven of

229
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: our listeners, that that, you know, going through laws, you

230
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta, you gotta be thankful for it too.

231
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And don't get me wrong, there's still parts of me.

232
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I've write songs about this all the time

233
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: and I cry about it all the time. And it's

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: been it's been years. I've lost my dad when I

235
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: was nine, and my mom drank herself to death right after.

236
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: And I think that's something where it's it's definitely hard

237
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: knowing that, like you know, I don't have that supports

238
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: in my life. But also, like you know, my kids

239
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: are going to grow up without the grandparents, and I

240
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: think that's always always a difficult thing. But at least

241
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: I am going to play dingle ball.

242
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about that. Okay, I was talking about it.

243
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Let me give you someveral reasons why we have to

244
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: have Alex Warren at jingle Ball.

245
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 5: Everyone.

246
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Number one, he's festive as f on stage. You just

247
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: have a great presence on stage. Thanks, and you know,

248
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: you carry the audience with you kind of ups and

249
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: downs and tell stories. I don't know if you know

250
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: you do this, probably that you're not even conscious about

251
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: what you do on stage. I don't know. You're great

252
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: on stage, music's great. Thank you. People like your spirit

253
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: and that's we need you because otherwise it's going to

254
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: fail miserably this year. God, that's a lot of pressure.

255
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, you carry jingle Ball basically, I will, I.

256
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: Will, I will, I will carry jingle Ball on my back.

Speaker 2: I'm freaking out. Oh my gosh, thank you so much.

Speaker 2: the Didty trial. My apartment is one block from that.

312
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: It's a circus every time. Every time you go to

313
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: the news, if ever you do, you see a big, huge,

314
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: crazy trial going on to New York City. It's right

315
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: behind my apartment. Oh wow, oh when when president there?

316
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: You think about it? President Trump on trial? I me

317
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: just name it. Sure there's it's a carnival atmosphere. Wow,

318
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: right now, it's pretty big. Did anything? Oh my goodness, Yeah,

319
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: I've not been following it.

320
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: Don't go down off that way, stay off of Twitter,

321
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: don't google yourself anymore.

322
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: Well, I don't follow the news anymore.

323
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 6: It's really depressive, it really is.

324
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: Start it's so I would just if my eggs are expensive,

325
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: I'll just figure it out.

326
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: Don't tell me they're expensive. Let me figure it out.

327
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Are they coming down yet? Eggs? I don't think. No,

328
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so cheaper than therapy tour. You're adding dates.

329
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: I just said you. Are you adding more dates? Yeah,

330
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: including Jacksonville. Our friend, our friend Froggy. That that screen

331
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: of the that's that's Froggy in Jacksonville. Oh. Look he's

332
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: in that empty chair. He's not the that's to show

333
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: you how well I'm doing here. No, he ran out

334
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: to buy tickets to your show Jacksonville. That's hilarious. So

335
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: do you I mean, you already have a long list

336
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: of venues you're traveling from every every day almost Do

337
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: you get excited when they had more dates or it's like, okay,

338
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: more dates.

339
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: One day, people are gonna stop buying the tickets. So

340
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: I'm hoping, hoping that's not this tour, because that would

341
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: be really horrifying.

342
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: It was such a good attitude about all of this.

343
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: Really, if I had a therapist, I feel like they'd

344
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: say it's self deprecating.

345
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 6: But that's healthy, is it.

346
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

347
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: I've never heard that defecating, self defecating. That's deprecating. Do

348
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: you just crap all over yourself? So, yeah, I was

349
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: about to say, I was about to say, I don't know. Yes, honestly,

350
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: this is very fun. It's really going nowhere. I feel

351
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: like we're going somewhere. This is a healthy relationship. We

352
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: are getting backed, we are getting somewhere. No I know.

353
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: I mean we're talking about bowel movements, the Diddy trial.

354
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: I can't imagine where where this.

355
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: Is going to turn. Hope it does. So let me

356
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: ask you this, what do you think about New York City?

357
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: Do you like visiting New York I like it a lot.

358
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm usually here to do stuff though, so it's definitely

359
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: kind of like starting to I had a few days

360
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: off where I just didn't do anything, and I get

361
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: so lost in the city and the maps don't work.

362
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys realize this.

363
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: Like I'll be on like fifty and then it'll say

364
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: I'm like on fifty ninth and I walk in a

365
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: circle for like a week.

366
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: It's insane.

367
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Yep.

368
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: And then to ask New Yorker and they accidentally send

369
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 5: you the wrong way.

370
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one really knows where they're going. Everyone's just

371
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: figuring it out. Are you still are you West Coast

372
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: where I live in Tennessee? Oh god, yeah, that seems

373
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: like to be the place that's the gold well.

374
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: I've been there for two weeks. I tore eleven months

375
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: out of the air. I still have boxes everywhere, but

376
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: hopefully I'll be able to unbox things.

377
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: Probably.

378
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: I think I have like two weeks in November to

379
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: be to like unbox things. Nashville isuh yeah, and then

380
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: my least is up in December. So I don't know

381
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: why I did that, but it's a lot of good ideas.

382
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: Why we've got work to do here, and we're here.

383
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: I'll be your calls heres. We'll figure this out. I

00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: I really like my wife. My wife isn't on tour

387

00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: of bad in LA where people were figuring out where

Speaker 3: it's pretty rad and they all know what I do,

394
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,240

00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Things have gone well since ordinary.

401
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 5: When people were figuring out where you were living, what

402
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,919

416
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: to the Diddy trial, we know the penthouse, you know

417
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: the phouse.

418
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 6: He's got his elevator that opens up.

419
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I got a question for you, Alex Alex Warren

420
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: is here. If you're just wondering who this is, why

421
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: are you doing this? Why do you do? What is

422
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 2: it about the music? What I mean? I don't know.

423
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a question that cannot be answered, but what

424
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: is it you really? Truly? I want to No, I truly.

425
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: I write about what I think is really cool, and

426
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: I write about my real life, and so I feel

427
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 3: like in a world where a lot of people are

428
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: just trying to make a hit record, it's been really

429
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: cool to write songs about losing my parents, falling in love,

430
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: and just.

431
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: Like what it means to get through that.

432
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: I think with when I lost my parents, it was

433
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: something interesting where there were so many people surrounded and

434
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: so many people came to see us and offer condolences

435
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: and things like that. But in a room full of people,

436
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: I felt so alone, and no one would talk about

437
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: these things. No one would talk about trauma, and no

438
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: one would talk about stuff. In the music space, I

439
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: think it was always just like breakup songs and hyper

440
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 3: pop and things like that. And I'm really really blessed

441
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: to be able to write music about my life and

442
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: help a lot of people who might be going through

443
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: the same thing. And so it's been really cool. And

444
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: when I play live shows, it's been really really it's

445
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: been healing from me too to be able to see

446
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: that people actually enjoy the records, but they also it's

447
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: also helping them in some way. And the gas lantern

448
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: is nice.

449
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 2: Side note the gas lanterns what it's about, and it's

450
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: just trying to get a sponsor. Yeah, mental health is

451
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 2: the bonus mental health have for so many years has

452
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: just swept under the rug. And we're talking about this

453
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: the other day. Yeah, we're talking about it all the time,

454
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: and you know, and bring it out in the opening

455
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: into the light is not a new thing. I mean

456
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: we've been doing it for several years now. But yeah,

457
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: it's getting better. It's cool to have mommy issues, is it?

458
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: I think so? I think I think mommy issues are

459
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: good too. Hell yeah, the issue is I don't have

460
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: my mommy. It's kind of weird. No, No, we were

461
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: talking about mommy issues this past weekend. Really, I don't

462
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: think that term came up. We were talking about mom's

463
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: relationships with moms and after you lose them, what are

464
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: you left with? Yeah? Right, And some people like to say,

465
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: well my mom she was not the greatest lady. She

466
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: was this and that, and she's gone down. But then,

467
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: you know, I'm happy to say has been your fault

468
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: as my mom had. I still remember all the wonderful,

469
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: glorious things that she brought into my life. What about

470
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: you is your mom? Were you actually rolling your eyes

471
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: and go, oh my god? That was my mom?

472
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 3: I always thought my mom like I always like held

473
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: my mom to a perfect pedestal, and so when she

474
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: ever messed up, I was like, you're my mom. You're

475
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 3: supposed to be a perfect role model. And as I

476
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: got older and after I lost her, I realized that

477
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: my mom for ten years straight, my dad thought with

478
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 3: cancer for four years. So she developed an alcol addiction,

479
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: and I think when she was left with crippling debt.

480
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: He died right when the recession hit, and you know,

481
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 3: we had nothing to our name, and she had to

482
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: raise four kids by herself. And I remember after I

483
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, I judged you for becoming

484
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: an alcoholic, but you had the world stacked against do

485
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: and so I think that was the biggest thing for me,

486
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: is like, you know, I realized that like she was human.

487
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: It was her first time living and I shouldn't have

488
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: held her to that standard and realize that she's a

489
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: human too.

490
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: I love the fact that I could admit, yeah, I

491
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: got to know my mom and dad after they passed away,

492
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: and someone said, well, le's way too late. No, it's

493
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: never too late. I really didn't get to know them

494
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: until they were gone. I firmly believe you die twice.

495
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: I think you die when you die, and then you

496
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: die when someone stops telling your story. And I think

497
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: it's really really important to always be learning. Like for me,

498
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know my dad very well, but I'm always

499
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: asking questions about him. They're always my family's always telling

500
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: stories about them, and it's been really really important to

501
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: be able to tell my kids who their grandparents were

502
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: and when they come around good. I like that. So

503
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: your mom and dads were passed away, get to know

504
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: them now. If three for a mom as still alive

505
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: but run over with a car today, get to know

506
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 2: where I'm kidding. I'm kind of into it all, right, Okay.

507
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: Bottom line, Alex Warren, I think we're this close to

508
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: get getting your signed up with Les realized.

509
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: But you were giving me a lot of slack for

510
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 3: my gas lantern you have a gold engraved microphone.

511
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: Your microphone has your name on it.

512
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's a thing, just saying.

513
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: I didn't pay for it. You paid for your gas.

514
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: You have a very solid point there. So this is

515
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: a gift. This is a gift.

516
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: Maybe I get my gas gifted by the tenants and

517
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: state of Tennessee.

518
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 6: You don't know me, by the way, can you do

519
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: flips like Benson Boone?

520
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 3: I can do whatever you want? Okay, you want me

521
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: to do one?

522
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 6: No, God, no, no, no no.
