WEBVTT - LEE BRICE

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Hello, they're my friend. That welcome to love someone with Delilah.

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've often mentioned that country music it's a

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>very special place in my heart. For those of you

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>who have not heard this from me before, you might

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not know that I come from from a music filled childhood,

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>specifically mostly country music. My parents were close with two

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>other families that we considered family. I mean, they were friends,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>but they were family closer than family. We spent most

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>weekends in each other's company. It often involves some kind

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of project that the adults worked on together. They did

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>home remodeling together, fence repairs, fishless fishing trips. That'd go

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>on fishing trips, but they never brought any fish home.

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>And kids. There were four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of us. Nine kids underfoot, ten kids doing crazy things

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that kids do while parents are otherwise occupying. Dinners were

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>rambunctious and delicious affairs. Lots of Southern fried chicken that

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was Mom's specialty, baked beans, fresh baked bread. Everyone loved

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>my mom's homemade pizza. After dinner, the men and one

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of the women would settle down with their guitars and

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>their playbooks filled with hits by Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard,

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Marty Robbins, Charlie Pride, Hank Williams, and they would begin

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>hours long jam sessions till the middle of the night.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Early in the morning, us kids nine and all would

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>still be up to our high jinks, but tired from

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a long day. Our muscles and mine would relax. The

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>music soaked into us, becoming a part of us, even

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>if we were unaware at the time of its profound

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>influence in our lives. Today, I'm excited to welcome a

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>profound and prolific country artist to love someone. He's a

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>man easily described as larger than life, because well, because

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>he is larger than life. He is a big man

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>with a big voice and is really incredibly talented his songwriting,

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>his musical hits, and I hear he has an even

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>bigger heart. Will hold onto your hats, will be back

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.720

<v Speaker 1>welcome back. Welcome to Love Someone with Delilah. I don't

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>know if you were listening when I did my little introduction,

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>but my dad and his two best friends um had

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a country western band and they played at honky Tonks,

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>they played at the Elks and the Eagles, They played

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>at the local nursing homes for folks. So I grew

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>up listening every weekend to my dad and his friends jamming.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>But Hank Williams and Tennessee Ernie Ford and uh, you know,

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 1>we we were raised picking and grinning and watching heha

<v Speaker 1>every week. I mean that's kind of a piece of

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>who you are, you know. I mean, that's the piece

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.800

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I both love old country. I mean, we love new

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>country too, but we love old country. You know. I

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>got to interview Crystal Gail, I got to interview um

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>so many you know, artists back in the day that

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>spent their whole life on the road and just had

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>great stories to tell. Realie Nelson come in, come on,

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you know he could. One of my favorite songs, one

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite songs that he recorded that Chrisker Stopson

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>wrote take the Ribbon from Shake and Loose and Let

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It Fall Oh, my gosh, such great music. And I

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>assume you were raised on the same just listening to

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>your songs and your lyrics. You had to have been

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>raised on the same kind of poetry set to music. Yes, yes, absolutely,

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>And that was the stuff, you know, is that Willie

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and some of those love songs that Kenny Rogers. My

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 1>daddy listened to. He listened a lot of vocal groups

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>because he was like, you know, gospel kind of quartet stuff.

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So like he was way into Alabama and Oakwards Boys

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and the Statler Brothers and stuff like that. To the harmonies.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>And my mama and her sisters all, you know, they

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>sang every harmony there was and they even made a

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Nashville record when they were kids, you know. And so

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I grew up with my mom and her aunt doing

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>all the singing, and so I learned harmonies in every

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>which way, shape and form from from them and singing

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in church and and so that's the roots right there.

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Everyone in my family, there are four kids and my folks.

0:06:54.040 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Everyone in my family is musical except me. I cannot.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I cannot carry a tune in a bucket if it

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>only had four notes. And I think the reason I

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>figured out because that there's not many things I cover

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it like, I've never coveted things. I could care less

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>about things. Um. When I was younger, I coveted a husband.

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted a good husband because the ones I found

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>were rotten to the bone. But but the one thing

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I coveted and I still do, I mean, I confess

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it all the time is musical talent. And I think

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the reason that God said no to that is because

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I have such a bad ego, and I think he

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>knew if I had that gift, I would abuse it,

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>um and and put myself in harm's way. Boll. I'll

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you you know, it's easy to do if you're

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>coming out young and you got music and um, and

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>you could find yourself. And there's been plenty of people

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, and myself included who you know. You find

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>yourself doing your dream, which is basically all you ever

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>could dream of is playing music for a living, right,

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>writing songs for a living, for producing playing songs live,

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and then you can find yourself in a quickly if

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you let yourself, you can find yourself in a place

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to where all of a sudden, music isn't the most

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 1>important thing. And that's when you catch yourself and go away. Um,

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh, it's nothing, has nothing to do with

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>with fame, has nothing. I always had everything to do

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>with the music, and so you know, luckily I was

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>able to catch myself. And I've got a bunch of

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>friends have been through it, and they they said, manage

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>And I could always tell, like I could tell if

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>they were going through it, maybe a patch and like

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden their music change, even

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>their look, their field of looking there out of twinkling

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>their eye, and I'm like, you're back, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I kind of caught myself, you know, falling off that

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>edge and realized and that that that the music was

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>always what it was supposed to be about, and then

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden it wasn't. You know, whenever you

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>make it a business and then you start having fun,

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you get on the road and make it about fame

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>or money or anything like that, and none of that

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>has anything to do with what we all dreamed about

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 1>when we were kids, you know, and listen to some

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.719
<v Speaker 1>music that we love and so so yeah, I mean

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 1>that can happen pretty quickly. I've taken piano lessons, I've

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>taken music lessons. I've taken vocal lessons from three different

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>vocal coaches and they all say the same thing. Stick

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>with your nighttime job. You know, a lot of a

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of musicians, including myself, A big piece of y

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>love to do music is because I love people to

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>hear it, right, I want them to hear my heart

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>through music, and that would be mostly through my songs,

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>but of course I found outside songs, and so a

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a I just gotta tell you this,

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we we are a lot of like in

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that way. You know, you might not be a singer,

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>but you're sharing your music and your musical heart with

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>with people, and you have been for so long and

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you have influenced so many lives, including mine, and um,

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you just want to you just want to impact people,

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that's that's a big part of why

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>most of us do this. Now we'll say the whole

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>some of us who are kind of meant to be

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>on that stage, you know, like we're missing those live

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>shows right now, you know, we're missing that piece of

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>us as a whole, a little bit a little hole

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>in our hearts, like wanting to get out there and

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>see people's faces when whenever we're playing that guitar and

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in or playing that piano and and and seeing that

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>song that we rode. So but I think you you

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>have there's a musician in you, and you get it

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>out in your own way. So tell me. I I

<v Speaker 1>got the video. I don't know when Janie, my producer,

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.120

<v Speaker 1>Hey World, and I wrote her back and I said, um,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.680

<v Speaker 1>and they're like, aren't you missing this? Aren't you missing that?

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, yeah, of course i am. I'm missing

<v Speaker 1>you and your babies and fishing and and just being

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>shut in with your family just blessed my heart so much.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>It's so I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:26.559
<v Speaker 1>where the song came from. My co writer. We were

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>talking that morning, we were going to write, and he said,

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>now you know we got any duds? He said, well,

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I got you know, this happened this morning, and he

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>would be proceeded to tell me that he got up

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 1>early and you know, and he had a TV young

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>watching the news and his four year old, little Dallas,

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>walked in and said, hey, Daddy, can we turn the

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>TV off? And Dallas, my my friend, Dallas said, said

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>my co writer, Well said yeah, I mean cand son,

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>but like wow, like what you know, wy would you

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>want why would you want me to turn the TV off?

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 1>You know? And uh a little Dallas, his four year

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>old son, said, well, because it's it's scaring me. Well,

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Dallas was watching the news and the heck, if you

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>really think about it, at the time, in the beginning

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>of this this pandemic and this whole thing, everything on

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>that TV was scary even to an adult, much left

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a four year old. You know, so many cases and

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 1>so many of this mat depths and not in the

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 1>danger and all the stuff. And so it hit Dallas

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>how much that impacted that moment with his son, and

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he said, you know, and I always said, was hey, world,

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>leave me alone, and it and it wasn't anything. You know.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>We we we kind of struggle a little bit with

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to make people think, we don't want

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to like beunify, to be together. But you know, even

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>ten years ago and ten years from now, there are

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>times when this world gets moving so fast that everybody

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>at some time wants just a second. They want to breathe,

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>They want a minute. You know, you need a minute

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to yourself and to understand and maybe reevaluated, rEFInd yourself

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>in a in in a quiet space, you know, and

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>let and hear the wind and see that you know

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the stuff the song talks about, and and listen to

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the pines. I love that. You know. That's where we

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>went the song and we said, you know this the

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>song really does. Yes, obviously it comes from this moment, right,

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but truthfully, it could have been twenty years ago or

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty years from now, and like it's on. You know,

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I think a piece of this whole thing. You know,

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe God was saying, you know, you guys are going

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>too fast. I need to slow you guys down. I

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>need a lot of you to look up and see

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 1>what's important right and and not take so many things

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>for grant and and and take advantage of some of

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the small things I give you every day. And I

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>think it has for pro most of I find I

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think most of the whole world has realized and learned

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those little things that are really actually

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>big things, you know. And And so we didn't really

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>we just wrote it how we would write it, you know.

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>And we I didn't know what was gonna happen. And

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>then I met blessing and and and a whole new

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>level came into the song, you know, and just um

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was a special song. And actually I

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to play on a on a big network

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>show my new, brand new single, right and I decided

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>which label wasn't too happy about at the time, But

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I decided that the world and the moment needed to

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>hear Hey World. So I played Hey World instead last minute,

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell anybody, and they couldn't turn the cameras office time.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I love that you don't need my label blowing up

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>my phone and my manner to go what are you?

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? What are you doing? In your

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 1>new single, You're supposed I said, well, I felt like

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the world needs to hear it. And because you know,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I didn't know if it was gonna

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>be able to reach the ready or reach this or that.

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>It was just a song we'd written and it wasn't

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>even supposed to be on the record, and then it

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>ended up being the title of the record because right now,

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that's where I am, and that's what my records are

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 1>all about, is where I'm at or I'm out of

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>my life at that point in time, you know, and

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>those those last year or two and and so, Hey

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>World has been a very special song since day one,

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and and it's real, and it's it's kind of like
