Before we started this, 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.159 Before you say anything, I want to say, first of all, 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.480 I do not people are gonna hear this and go 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.280 check out your music, and if they do, I don't 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.400 want them blaming me because it's not music that even 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.120 I listened to. I think it's funny, but I don't 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.079 listen to it because I don't occurse in my real life. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.079 This is just a big disclaimer everybody's listening to I 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.680 have no I have no interest in Wheeler Walker Junior's 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.720 dirty music other than I think it's funny to read 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.400 the titles. Now, you can say whatever you want, Alright, cool, Yeah, 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.240 I want. I'm gonna keep it clean for this podcast, 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.960 but I'm not gonna lie. It's definitely not the first 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.320 interview I've done with it that starts with a disclaimer. 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.240 You know. That's the That's the bummer for me is 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.160 I gotta sit down for interview and then the interviewer 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.480 spends ten minutes apologizing before I have a chance to talk. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.240 But um, I appreciate you having me on and having 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.840 me on, you know, over to your place and doing this, um, 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.840 because my new the thing with my new record, and 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.960 the first one was kind of just like kicking my 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.600 foot into nationale and see what I could do. And 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.960 this one, I'm truly trying to, you know, I'm trying 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.720 to be part of the conversation, you know in the 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.400 Bobby Bones and well yeah, but I but I want 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.720 I'm trying not to insult the other country acts as 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.800 much as I used to because in my head I'm 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.839 gonna be sitting next to him at the Grammys and 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.160 it gets it gets a laugh when I say it. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.520 But um, I'm here to stay and I want to. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:33.080 I want to out sell Sky Luke Combs. His album 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.000 comes out the same day as mine, and I've decided 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.000 he's my enemy because his album comes out the same 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.319 day as mine. But I don't know, I don't know. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.000 If you don't think I don't think he's a bad dude. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.280 But your album comes out the same day as mind 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.160 your mind, I'll find something bad about you. You know, 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.000 what are you thinking about a song? Hurricane? Um? I 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.920 mean I guess it was it was, you know, as 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.800 far as the stuff I like and don't it's closer 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:02.800 to real music than then not really, you know who 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:08.520 don't like? To me, I don't like it's weird because, um, 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.760 I think a lot of people think because I make 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.079 fun of a lot of pop country. But what's what's 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.320 odd is I love I do love good pop music 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.359 and I love good country music. And why the two 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:23.040 coming together? I don't. It makes me so angry. It's 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.040 hard to say. And I don't think I'm any kind 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.720 of purist. But my favorite Taylor Swift record was nine nine. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.799 I really liked that album. And uh, I thought Bangers 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.840 was great, that Miley Cyrus record. So I like good 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.239 pop and I love Michael Jackson. I just gonna go 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.600 down the good pop music, you know, and I love 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.400 good pop music. I just don't for some reason. I 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.680 think it's a Did you have Brandy Clark on your podcast? 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.520 Because I was talking to her recently and it's not her, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.960 it's not her quote, but someone gave her a quote 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.240 recently because it's hard. We're just trying to define what 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.880 what is country music? And she said someone defined to 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.200 her country music it's whatever white people are listening to. Well, 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.960 that was a pretty good description, just because that these 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.960 these days, who knows what is country and what's not 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:16.000 country because it's you know, are you country? I mean, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.560 I I claim I am, but in some ways it's not. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:20.840 I mean that's part of my thing. I claim I'm 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.840 made more country to anybody else, but it's it's not 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.280 really for me to sit. You know. June two, my 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.600 Alms coming out. We have official seal of disapproval from 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.560 Bobby Bones. No, it's not disapproval. I don't disapprove of 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.080 because I personally think it's hilarious. But I'm not going 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.040 to put my Yeah, I'm not gonna put my Hey, 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.960 you should go buy it. As you go check it out, Well, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.360 give me what's your quote? Then? All right? My quote 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:53.280 is this stuff is crazy. Don't you don't approve of it? 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.440 But I don't approve. Okay, if I said as, I'm 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.920 not saying, I'm gonna use it like a sticker on 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.160 the record. Here's my quote, stuff is crazy and I 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.640 don't approve. I'll take that. Yeah, I'm gonna use that whatever. Great, 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.600 it's all you want. I said it, But secretly I 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.640 do I approve because you just said you said both 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.480 into the money that part you can't use the record. 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.360 I'm gonna. I'm gonna when I leave here on a tweet, 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.040 I don't approve Bobby Bones correct but for quotations, but 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:25.360 secretly you can do quotations. But secretly I do. Okay, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:31.559 just just did the podcast with Bobby Bones quote. Here's 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:37.479 this quote. I don't approve parentheses, but secretly, secretly he does. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.240 I do. What if you're quote to me?

Well, here's my This leads to my question. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.640 Will probably get cut from the podcast. But if you 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.200 have a song you love, can you just play it? Yeah? 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.840 Nothing gets cut from the podcast the way ever, it's 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.440 our one role. Nothing gets cut. I got to a 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.760 fight with Jake going right here, big one. By the way, 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.880 as long we're talking about Jake going, uh, can we 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.440 get it's my I got a message for Jake going, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.320 can we get his uh?

And my 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.080 thing is I always want to be the opposite. If 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:05.919 I hear it's ton me a bunch of hipsters, I go. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.479 I actually asked my friends, I go, who would be 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.919 the list least hip person to have at this party. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.120 I'm gonna do that with them, and they go, well, 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.400 the most a real corporate guy, because they were trying 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.840 to be anti corporate this party. Well, they go, how 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.560 about Jake Owen.

I'm just trying 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.040 to lose any fans I have. You know, that's how 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.000 you get I how you get people though, Yeah, what 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.840 if you don't care? Yeah, I wanted to. I wanted 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.240 to lose the fans I had, But yeah, no, you 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.480 talked me into a clean third record, not even a 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.600 whole claim record. If you get me something that's funny 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.040 and it's a decent song, or it's just a decent song. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:53.560 You ask me if I can play whatever, I play 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.240 whatever all the time. Well, Summers in Kentucky's a pretty song. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.320 It's I've heard it, it's not i'ven't read the lyrics 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.040 before I heard it. Could you post it them online? 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.400 You're like, I was like I mentioned in this and 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.159 I heard it. I was like, that's funny. Can't play 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.640 it on the radio, but it is pretty. The entitle 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.160 is And then halfway through we go a little I 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.120 go a little it's a little medical, all right, Wheeler 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.320 Walker Jr. June second. I'm a fan. I told you 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.360 the first time I met you. Well, I appreciate it, man. Yeah, 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.040 And like I said, like all seriousness, like I'm a 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.280 fan of what you do because you're you're doing something different, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.280 you're pushing the boundaries. Well, and I'm the first to 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.560 admit that I I hit you pretty hard at first, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.120 and you took it like a champ and then we 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.200 we worked through it. And I always like when it's 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.400 it's funny for me to you know, like say like 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.600 you like you worked, you didn't do anything you did 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.880 was sit there while I ripped on you. And then 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.680 you know you turned me around. But I guess through reputation, 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.480 I guess, and and also not caring not to be 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.520 able to get up. What's up with you? And Dylan Scott? 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.480 That one is real? That one I got really upset 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.800 because to me, the Grand ol opertors a sacred place. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.760 He brought chewbacka mom on stage of the Grand ol Operty. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.840 I don't know if you know Hank Williams Seniors banned 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.760 from the Grand ol Opry and Chewbacca moms up there. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.000 I'm like, again, you don't have to be the most 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.480 pure country arts in the world. But chewbacka Mom ain't 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.080 supposed to be on stage of the Grand Ol Operation. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.040 So I ripped on him and then I got word 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.720 that and I said, I when I when I make 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.640 fun of someone on Twitter, I don't tweet one tweet. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.680 I do about fifty. And I'm like, Chewbacca Mom, you're 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.600 the reason chewbacka Mom got on stage at the grand 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.160 Ol Operate. You're my enemy now. And someone from his 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.640 label contacted my drummer and said, you know, like, can 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.839 you tell him to knock it off? Which is just 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.440 gets me going again. I mean, it doesn't take much 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.480 for you to not get in my you know, just 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.600 don't bring Chewbacca Mom on stage at the grand Ole 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.719 operating your pone. Don't take Chewbaca Mom anyway. This will 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.679 be playing on the radio. Cool with that? What this 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.760 part you just said? I like it? Sure? I like 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.959 I think that's a that's a good reason to be 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.560 for somebody. Yeah, because I take I take the grand Ope. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.840 You know, like I said, my family coming here from 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.760 Nashville and the from my family been in Nashville since 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.280 they went to the Grand operating the whole days, and 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.960 to know that Hank Williams Sr. Is not a member 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.760 and that and not like my aunt is really close 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.199 with Crystal Gale and she just got in. I'm not 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.520 saying they made Chewbaka member, but Cheebaka Mom being on 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:28.920 the Grand Opery stage, that ain't right. He blocked you 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.920 on Twitter, and he's blocking on Twitter. Now I can't 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.480 and now I'm missing out on all the good Chewbaca Mom. Juice. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.920 If someone's going on with Chewbaca Mom, I I am 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.120 gonna know record together. You haven't heard heard well that 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.760 I heard he was taking her on tour. You didn't 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.280 really hear that. No, No, he said he was gonna 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.559 take her on to I think he would never do that. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.800 I heard that well, I don't even know. I'll tell 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.959 you what if I went to I'll tell you what. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.199 I would probably go to that show to see. If 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.199 if I heard that Chewbaka Mom was doing it was 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.520 playing the country show and that Chewbacca mask, I'd probably 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.000 be in the front row. I mean, can you imagine 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:06.679 how crazy that would love? I can. I'm not terribly 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.120 moved by the thought. Of it. Yeah, remembers Chewbacama came 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.960 out of the CMT Awards and I was just like 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.640 this joke old Yet, Like I said, being fat and 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.520 putting on a Chewbacca mask is not a career. Like, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.520 how's that you can make a living doing that? Why 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.200 am I wasting my time writing songs for I should 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.720 have just been fat and bought at Chewbacca mask. You 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.160 still can't? There's still time. Oh yeah, I can eat, 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.320 I can buy a mask, but I ain't got the 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.240 I ain't got the goods she's got. You know, I 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.319 don't have that special something that Chewbaca Mom has that 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:43.640 Dylan Scott obviously found him liking and I love doing 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.360 it ripping on guys like. I've never heard a note 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.520 of his music, nor will I ever. But would you 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.360 like to hear something and decide for yourself? Um, I'm 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.600 sure the answer is no, but now I really want to. Yeah. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.400 Are the songs? Are his songs about Chewbaka Mom. His 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:03.719 whole album is called Me and the Chew Chewlie. Here's that. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.360 Here's a single, My girl? This is It's like Top 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.800 twenty right now, taking a long time to get there, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.320 to be fair, But it's the top twenty song. Now 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:17.080 here we go. This is um, Dylan Scott, I can 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:34.880 already tell us this crap. I hate this bon Jovi country. Look, 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:41.079 I'm oh my god. You should hear talking to her 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.520 mama on the phone. This is this was, this is 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.280 a this is good as a garage band recording it. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.280 This This is made on garage band with like the 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.880 country filter or something. This is this is this is 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:59.120 god awful. This there like then let's let's wait for it. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.920 You should see a smile. When she called the baby, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.240 he sounds pretty good. I don't want to say that 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:13.080 she saved me. My girl. It's called my Girl, yeah, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.360 the first song they ever called my Yeah. That's my 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.680 girl in the passenger seat. When the down dance in 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.440 the round called in a scene, that's my girl sipping 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.240 crown is sprite and a ball cap turned back. Good. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.520 She got me and I can't. Maybe girl, you're gonna 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.800 turn it again. And they getting all the guys for 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.240 she mute with them but a bit. They don't see 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.240 what I see when I see my girl. There you go, 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.960 there's Dylan Scott. Okay, can I give you my my 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:43.080 grade F strong f. That was horrible and uh, you 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.400 know what he deserves Chewbacca mom. I honestly think Chewbacca mom, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.520 that is better than that. Yeah. By the way, I 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.480 prefer that song. He was wearing a Chewbacca mask. Yeah, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.400 that was god awful. We don't have to agree on everything. 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.920 You like. You like that song, I don't us like it. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.880 It hasn't growing on me fully yet, but I don't 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.160 just like Itah, no problem with it. Well, I got 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.360 some problems with it. Yeah, that that's just it's just 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.560 I mean, you've heard this is the just the most 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.320 generic thing I've ever heard. So, okay, you're here. I'd 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.840 like ole to know who you are listening to this. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.959 You're very I can't even retweet you sometimes, although I 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.280 think it thinks they're very funny. Oh yeah, no, I'm 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.360 I'm very vulgar. I'm very vulgar, and I really you know, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.080 it was a lot of anger and frustration that led 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.280 to the making of this, the first record, in the 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.199 second one, which is I'm just gonna go, I'm gonna 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.800 because a lot of musicians, I think I know that 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.560 do this. A lot of songwriters, you know, they'll write 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.880 the dirty version. There's like let's let's record it, let's 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.800 go clean it up. I'm like, what if we made 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.800 a record, we didn't do that second process or we 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.480 cleaned it up. I go, it's two. You know it's two. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.839 Was two thousand and sixteen when did my first record. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.720 So it's like, we got a YouTube, we got sell 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.040 like radio, we got podcasts. Why do I need the radio? 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.800 Why do I need tell? You know? I don't need 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.439 to on fallon? And I was a little wrong on that. 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.400 Um I was off five, but I think it would 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.680 help him in the extra four million copies maybe. But um, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.400 what are some of the titles here? Uh? Fu By 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.440 when he hits Yeah, it's a big one. That's got 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:22.400 eaten p and kicking a Yeah, that's fan favorite. Yeah. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:23.960 So that was that was the one that broke. That 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.960 was the one that uh, that was what got us 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:33.040 our tony redneck s um blank on my face, which 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:38.600 is actually you make it sound worse. Ah, let's see 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:44.200 better off beating off. There's that. That's that. That's one 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.840 I can say that you can say radio. The thing is, 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.640 we can say whatever we want. It's just if you say, hey, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.120 you have thirty minutes to go outside and play Give 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.960 a Kick thirty they really have like forty five. If 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.440 I tell Eddie to get to work it four thirty, 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.720 he's really got to four. So I was like, hey, dude, 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.280 we have big sponsors. You know, you can't come in here. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:12.520 I see you're putting your videos on you know, explicit websites. Yeah, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.720 well that's the thing too, is um Well, my thing 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.480 is always for people to just be honest to who 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.760 they are. That's why I what I I appreciate you 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.280 that the fact that you don't cust in your your 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.280 life and don't cost on the like, to me, that's 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.320 being authentic. That's to who you are. You know, it'd 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.080 be different if I don't like the guys who are 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.960 just really I don't have as much problem as the guys. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.880 It was just really clean in real life, and then 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.760 it were some crazy persona on air that would bother me, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.680 probably just as much. I think the first time we met, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.360 do you remember start taking that CMT s right, yeah, 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:47.040 c m T Awards and you had just put out 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.200 your first record. Yeah, and I'd ripped. I had ripped 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.440 on you quite a bit on a on a I 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.560 was gonna say on Twitter, but probably everything yeah and everything. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.480 But to me, that's funny, like if I find it 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.720 when someone makes the time to put me in their heart, 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.920 good or bad. Well you want the first The first 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.880 thing that I became aware of you that got me 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.000 push me on the other side is in a I 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.080 usually listen to. I don't like other people's opinions of people, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.000 except when I hear the same thing over and over. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.200 And I kept hearing a lot of people say, you 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.040 know your name coming up is like, you know, he 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.560 likes to push buttons. I go after Like the fourth 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.520 person said that, I was like, I got the I got. 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.200 I've picked this guy wrong, you know, because I'm thinking 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.800 of you as this you know, goody goody pushing pop 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.480 I mean posh pushing you know pop country onto the world. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:39.920 I mean, I don't know if that's wrong. Though, to 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:41.880 be fair, I don't know that you were wrong about that. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.640 Well the button pusher part, which I don't know about, 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.520 which is what intrigued me. Which is and maybe you 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.520 could tell explained to me where that that reputation came from. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.720 I don't think there's a button push your thing. I 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.640 think what happens if you just say how you feel 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:02.280 enough people get piste off. You give enough opinions, eventually 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:03.800 you're going to make someone upset. This is the world 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.199 of opinions anymore. It's either have all the opinions or 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.880 none of the opinions. You'd obviously angered enough people that, 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.600 um it came back to me that I was like, Oh, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.760 I'd like to talk to this dude because he's he's 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.080 anyone who angers people is like, I want to meet 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.600 I don't anger people. Didn't for the sake of angering people, 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.160 angry people just because I haven't. If you're angering people 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.600 just because you're being honest, then that's why. That's what 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.520 That's what I did. I don't I don't set out 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.560 to make anybody that ever, but I don't want to 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:34.879 listen to that person. I don't want to listen to 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.240 someone on the radio who's worried about everything. They're gonna say, yeah, 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.840 that doesn't happen. But then again, I don't do it 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.000 on purpose. But I've been in a few and I 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.880 have people, but I've really got into fights with them 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.439 buddies with that now, you know, because it's like, you 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.399 know what, and probably went over a little bit, or 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.760 you probably were a little too sensitive and now we're 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.760 cool exactly. Well, my my favorite one is I went 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.040 real hard especially, I mean at the beginning, I went 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.800 real hard on at Old Dominion, and they tweeted back 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.439 something to me that I thought was funnier. I was like, 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.439 well they win. I'm never gonna I'm never gonna do 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:11.240 anything to them again. You know, like, you can't make 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.880 fun of someone if they'd make fun of the Ruins, 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.800 it's the eight mile, Like Eminem, you go at yourself. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.720 There's nothing else to say. Yeah, I was like, I'll 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.720 I go. I don't know that I'm gonna listening to 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.800 Old Dominion all night, but I ain't gonna make fun 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:28.200 of them again. You know who do you like? Um? Well, 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.200 I mean obviously other than the old stuff. I'm trying 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.480 to think who's out there right now? You know who 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.080 your audience wouldn't know. It's not that like Margot Price 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.679 has played the show. Yeah, I love I love Brandy 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.840 and you had her on. I love um, I love 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:46.359 really like John Party, um like Stapleton obviously obviously all 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.919 of America does. And uh, you know I'm Sturgil, you know, 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.320 and is Bill who? These are something? I guess maybe 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.280 some of the Outsiders that Europe is. My favorite is 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.679 someone you actually you had on your show, which I 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.520 love that you had her on. My favorite album the 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:08.200 probably the past year or so was Laurie McKenna's album Yeah, 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.800 Burton the Rifle, Yeah I got. I love that record. Yeah, 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.320 I've had her on as a writer and an artist 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:14.840 because I love it. I love it so much. But kids, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.880 you know she writes everything. Yeah, that's a new thing 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.240 that It's been really cool lately a lot of these 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.160 songwriters have kind of been putting out their own records. 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.520 That because Lorie's records great, Natalie Hemby's record is great. 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.480 It's because, you know, because being around you know, I 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.959 hear their demos and I you always wonder, like, why 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:33.480 don't you put out a record? And that Pete they're 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.520 finally starting to do it. I love when that happens. 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.560 You know, you're not as angry right now as I 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.920 thought you might be. Yeah, I don't. People are always 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.400 surprised because usually unless I just got someone just got 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.800 angry at me when I walked in. I'm not in 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.639 a bad mood because I've done interviews where I just 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.119 got like one recently, I just found out because my 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.840 album is now banned from Walmart. I don't want to 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:58.240 get it wrong. I don't care if I get wrong. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.679 Actually Walmart cam Art best I think. And I just 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.879 got that news right before an interview last week, and 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.040 the whole interview was angry. But right now, do you 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.320 see that coming? Like, don't you make it and go, 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.520 I'm going to get banned it probably eighty percent of 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.280 the places. Yeah, but I thought I was gonna have 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:19.200 a chance of beating this Luke Combs jerk. But um, 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.800 it's just it. I mean, yeah, I know what you're saying, 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.960 which is it's weird for me to really Um, I can't. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.320 I can't be seriously mad about it. You know. It's 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.719 not like I can't call up a publicist or manager 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.000 and go, how in the world did that happen? You know, 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:40.080 I'm not that dumb, although I'm pretty dumb, But um, 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.359 I try because I really want to. That's the thing. 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.640 Other thing people don't believe about it. I really want 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.840 to compete with these guys. And I could say it's 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:51.720 not fair, you know, it's not a level playing field, 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:53.719 but I did. I did it to myself. You know, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.639 when you have pornographic titles on a record, like you're 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.879 gonna be in places if they don't want take pornographic anything. 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.719 Oh totally yeah, I mean, I um, but you can 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.440 use it you and you do use it your advantage, 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.200 like it's a fun game you play where it's like 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.159 I'm banned here. Uh, let's go to their website and 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.679 trash it. Yeah, I mean, I think the part that 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:20.399 angers me is when, because I know it's people listening 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:21.919 right now are laughing at me, that I want to 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.479 be taken seriously as an artist with titles like that. 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.600 But to me, especially the new records, I'm trying to 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.320 say serious things, but in the way that I talk 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.919 because I cursed all I want to talk, and I 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.080 just I want to sing the way I talk. So 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.560 it would be untrue to myself to sing instead of 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.720 fub is seeing you know, love you girl, you know, 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.000 miss you girl, or something. It wouldn't it wouldn't be 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.879 how I It's not my natural inclination to do it 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:50.679 like that. So I don't know. I don't people know 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.760 anything about your history that where'd you grow up. I'm 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:54.879 from Kentucky, all right, so you grew up a Kentucky 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.679 But I love it here and I've most of my 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:00.720 families from here. By the way, this isn't I was 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.280 just saying this is a must be noon new area 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.800 in Nashville house. Well, I'm saying this area. Yeah, we 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.479 won't say exactly what the area. They get too many 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.880 people come about with guns. I was gonna say kind 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.000 of about the address. I'll tweet the addressing, tweet a 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.920 picture in the front of the house. Um, so you 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.720 grew up with Kentucky. Like, are you a real I mean, 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:23.720 I don't even know how good are you are musically? Um? Like, 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:28.200 are you do you consider yourself like an A level musician? 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.240 B level musician? Well, anyone who just strumps and sings. 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:36.600 I mean my albums both albums were recorded live um 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:39.760 to tape, you know. So anything you're hearing is me. 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:44.199 There's no auto tune, there's no you know, the second one, 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.040 especially there. I didn't rerecord any lines, you know, So 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.560 what you're hearing on the album is is who I am. So, um, 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:53.760 don't you wanna give me like a guitar to have 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.520 me give me a test here? No? I just want 0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:01.200 to because again I see your your first record, which 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.160 I did listen to all and I think it's really funny. 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.120 It's the thing it's not. It's not fun I would 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.120 put out, but I think it's really funny that redneck 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:11.359 s s is an expert, so you put it out. 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.560 And I remember sitting the studio with Addie, my producer, 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.640 listening to songs, laughing a lot. They go on, man, 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.399 this is funny, but people listen to it to go 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.119 is this guy even real? Like do you like do 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.920 you really play? Yeah? These songs? Well, I think sometimes 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:27.240 Well I didn't want to be on the comedy charts, 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.600 and I got I got an argument with the people 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.119 who distributed my record. They called me up and like 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.200 tell me, because to me it was I want to 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.040 only want to be on the country charts. And we 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.360 got in a big argument like it's not comedy, don't 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.600 put it and they're streaming like I'm not on the comedy, 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.880 don't put me on the comedy charts. And halfway through 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:46.840 the argument I realized it. By the way before, I 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.400 keep yelling and you know, blowing out my voice, what 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.800 number am I on the comedy charts? And they're like 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:54.200 number one. I was like, all right, keep me on 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.760 the comedy charts. You know because to me it's not. 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.560 It's to me it's really serious stuff that I'm singing about. 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.439 I'm just using bad words. You know it's not. But 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.120 how was that serious that you're singing about? For example, 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:10.680 in the song ah, let's see fighting, Well, that's about 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.680 you picked the worst one. Yet I'm just picking one 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:18.240 fighting and farting and nothing with fart I mean that one. 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.120 I want that was the worst one, that you picked 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.520 the worst one, because anything with farting is not gonna 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:26.399 be serious. But so that was your one moving to comedy, 0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:27.840 that's all. That was your one. No, I don't think 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.440 it's my one moving to comedy, but it was all 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:33.480 of It's kind of an f you to to Nashville 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.280 to music rows. Okay, that's interesting. So you're angry at 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.960 the whole establishment, which I am too. When I got 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:44.520 into the studio, I'm like, I'm unsuccessful, and this is 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.159 my middle finger to music. Row in my middle and 0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:50.320 I'm gonna make the song so catchy and good that 0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:52.959 people are gonna have to listen to them, and no 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:54.800 matter how dirty they are, I'm gonna sell. I'm gonna 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.840 out sell all these guys, which I didn't do so 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.479 I failed, but I'm gonna out sell these guys with filth. 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.840 How high on their country chart? Did you ever get 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.960 debuted a number nine? Which wasn't bad? I mean, we're 0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.480 you know, I was expecting number nine hundreds, so especially 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.360 for a first record. So I mean, by the way, 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:12.959 lad as a podcast you canna listen to. It's very 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.840 vulgar and dirty. I actually recommend you don't listen to it. So, 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.000 but it's it exists, it's weird, it's ante that long. 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.600 I've already gotten a lot of non recommendations. Yeah, that's 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:23.240 what you want, though, it's like being kicked out of stores. 0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.600 Like if you you'd rather have people non recommended, then 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.119 not mention it. Yeah, like I encourage people not to 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.040 check it out. Yeah, and while you while you're at it, 0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:33.000 don't listen to Bobby Bones. Yes, that's my favorite thing. 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.560 I'd rather have those and people saying listen to it. 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.080 Because I bought a bunch of billboards and didn't tell 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:41.080 anybody about it, and they all said go away Bobby Bones, 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.520 and I hit it for years into a book and 0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:46.359 everyone thought certain artists that bought them are record labels, 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.600 and I put up all over town, huge billboards. It's 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.000 a go away Bobby Bones, that's it. That's a pretty 0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:54.000 good Now you got me thinking, yeah, And so everyone 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.679 was like, who's upset of Bobby? Is it? This artist 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.160 that I had to fight with? Is that this record label? 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.400 Is that the other ready of stations? And forever they 0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.480 stayed and nobody knew until I put on my book 0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:05.840 and the people were pisted, like Flora George Line went 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:10.120 on satellite and bash me because they were like, ain't 0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.920 putting up billboards about himself? Not understanding? I don't know. 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.000 I didn't put them up about me. I did put 0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.640 them up about me, but in your own controversy. Yes, 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.040 that's it. Controversies all I love controversy. Yeah, well, you 0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:26.320 know these billboards still up. Let's get some fill, but 0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:28.960 they cost too much. I have to leave up. That's 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.000 the thing is because I put my albums out of myself, 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.240 I got a lot of ideas that don't ever that 0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.040 we can't pay for because it costs too much money. 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.280 Let me talk about you get commercials in your podcast yet, no, 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.880 we got we gotta offer. Some dog food company wanted 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:44.480 to do it, and then I had that. I told 0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:45.800 him my idea what I wanted to do with the 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.600 dog food, and then they disappeared. Okay, let me talk 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.840 about Let me talk about sleep number.

We're doing 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.280 a three dates the week of the release, and then 0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:32.680 we're waiting a couple of weeks and we're gonna do uh, 0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.600 I guess, like a whole another tour. I don't know 0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.680 if you get this a lot with your when you tour, 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:42.560 right when people just when you announce the tour, all 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:44.880 yours like eight million comments, why aren't you coming to 0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:49.040 my city? It's like, anyhow touring works, you know. I 0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:51.040 wanted to explain that to people and people just think 0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:53.680 you pick cities. Yeah, and you don't really just go 0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:55.960 I think I'll go there. We'll just think about like 0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:59.240 if I was a kid and like what I tweet Actel, 0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:01.880 you know, come to so in Kentucky? You know, like 0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:05.880 in acts would reading go tell his major? This guy 0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:07.480 Wheeler wants us to play a lesson and make sure 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.360 it happens, Like, well, what do the thing is gonna happen? 0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:11.480 And now we're booked in l A one, but let's 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:13.120 go to lex to this day. I mean, we don't 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.240 want we don't meant this little kid Wheeler, we don't 0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:18.720 mess up mess with him. So um yeah, it drives me. 0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:21.120 You know, it's just like you think your real country 0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:22.640 and you ain't playing in Texas. I'm like, they didn't 0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:24.800 rub me to Texas, wait me to do and there 0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:26.840 wasn't a venue available in the area that I could 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.120 get to in time. Yeah, what I didn't call up? 0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:30.560 Let's do a tour and make sure we stay out 0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.160 of Texas. Do you know a lot of country artists 0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:37.600 stay out of Texas really because of the Texas country scene. Yeah, 0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:38.640 I was gonna say, there's all I know. I was 0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:40.560 gonna see the options. I know artists who really don't 0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:44.280 leave Texas and that's why, because what happens is some 0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:49.960 of the Texas artists will vilify the Nashville artists. So 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:53.680 in the Nashville artists going to Texas, they've been trained 0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.560 by the Texas country artists that that's all bad. That's 0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:58.880 interesting because we actually actually had a good time doing 0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.800 Texas on the last were But yeah, it's funny. It's 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.120 funny for you to say that, because not I forget 0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:06.200 that I'm in Nashville because I'm such an outslayer that 0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:10.120 I am to that I'm a Nashville artist still, which 0:32:10.160 --> 0:32:12.960 I you know, I just have no pride take pride 0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:17.239 in that. But um yeah, I guess you would get 0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:20.120 territorial because I've heard before that there are people who 0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:22.800 make millions of dollars just in Texas. Just I want 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:28.040 to say millions. Very comfortable. I would say, Also, you 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:29.680 only gotta you gotta you know you have to buy 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:31.480 a house in Texas that you're gonna cost that much 0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:34.360 and you don't want to buy a house in Texas. Listen, 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.520 I live in Austin for it's the greatest. And when 0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:40.400 I go and we play Texas it's awesome for us 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:44.440 because weird Mike's everybody's Texan. I grew up in Arkansas. Yeah, 0:32:44.600 --> 0:32:48.680 I know that because the basketball battles be battles. Really 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.040 about that too, by the way, Yeah, well, thank well. 0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:54.120 I'm very passionate about Kentucky basketball and I'm and I 0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:58.040 make no apologies about it. But it's also the one 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.200 thing that I can make fun of people and I'm 0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:02.320 probably gonna win. It's only one of the few arguments 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.600 I know I'm gonna win. Kentucky basketball is a thing. 0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.280 This music and the new record comes out Jean second 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:12.120 Old Wheeler. It's called what's the difference in the First 0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:14.880 Record and the Second Record? To me, the second record 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:18.480 is well, the main thing is the second records better? 0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:21.800 And it's um to me, it's really more focused because 0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.560 it's a you know, it's a famous thing. The first records. 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:27.800 You's got twenty years to make the first record in 0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.400 six months to make the second record. But I used 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.600 that to my advantage and made it much more focused. 0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.040 Second records really about everything that happened from the first 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:38.960 record to the second record. So it's really um a, 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.720 it's really a snapshot of that portion of my life. 0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.400 I mean to me, it was it's an album about 0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:49.800 I call a wheeler because it's an album about growing old. 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:53.680 You know, this new world that we're living in right now, 0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:55.959 I feel like a man out of time, you know, 0:33:56.760 --> 0:34:00.880 like going to gigs and girls asking me from my 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:02.800 snapchat and I don't even know what that, you know, 0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:04.320 I didn't know what what I got it now, I 0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:06.800 didn't know what at the time, just you know, trying 0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.600 to play this type of music in this new world 0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.480 was very strange to me and being you know, and 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:13.960 a lot of it, you know, being I felt like 0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:16.160 I was too old, Like why wasn't I doing this? 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.239 Why didn't this happen when I was twenty three? You know, 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:20.279 why didn't happen you were twenty three? What were doing 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.080 at twenty three? Um? I was just about you know, 0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.239 I couldn't. I was just stepping on my own feet. 0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:27.839 I couldn't get out my own way, you know. So 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.560 it was probably a lot of um and a lot 0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:38.040 of insecurity, and a lot of blaming things and other people, 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.960 you know, like a labeled big deal goes bad and I, 0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.520 you know, say it's their fault when I actually actually 0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:47.640 you know, the songs weren't you know, it wasn't good. 0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:51.000 But you know, I think people are gonna hear this 0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.600 and hear a more sensitive side. You bring it out 0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:56.120 of me. But Wheeler, Yeah, I thought you were gonna 0:34:56.120 --> 0:34:59.480 come in right a lot me on fire. No, I 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.200 mean seen looking forward forward to it a bit. Yeah, 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.160 I mean I could, but I mean I wasn't. I'll 0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.839 tell you what I wasn't expecting is coming in and 0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:10.120 having you tell people not to buy my record or 0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.680 to listen to my podcast. Yeah. Yeah, I think people 0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:16.920 shouldn't yeah anymore anymore.

I saw you're playing Faster Horses and that 0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:58.960 was real because you've done the fake things were like, 0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:02.040 look look at Wheeler I'm starting wheeler Fest. I started. 0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:05.480 I put out a thing called on April Fools. I 0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:08.000 announced wheeler Fest with a bunch of huge artists and 0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:10.759 wheeler Fest dot Com go there for tickets and it 0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:14.520 just had an expletive that led you to preorder my 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:20.120 new record. And people are supps still mad, you know, 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:24.719 they're like, you know, and yeah, I was like, that's 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.560 your fault. There's no place to buy tickets. How are 0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:31.440 you gonna go book a vacation on somewhere there's no tickets, 0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.319 But yeah, faster Horses, And uh, there was another one. 0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:39.279 I forget what it was. Um, yeah, they're having me 0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:43.480 on late night spots. I guess, you know, adult entertainment, 0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:47.480 although you know these guys. I guess people are getting 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.319 roundy around midnight. I guess I can go on after 0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:52.200 the headliners done, I'm gonna play. I think it's what 0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:54.960 they're saying, that's that would be the headliner. Then of 0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:56.799 the headliner, Well, that's what I said, and that means 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:58.640 I'm the headliner. They said, no, no, no, I don't 0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.600 say that, And I thought at first it may be 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:04.919 a joke, just because it's what you do. You put 0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:07.560 things out there. Well, I like making enough, like making 0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:09.560 up enough stuff so no one knows what's real. Like 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:13.000 if I put out number one country album in America, 0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:15.440 I like that people wouldn't even believe me. Haven't you 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:20.239 noticed that anything that's put online is just fact until 0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:22.160 it's proven otherwise. By the time it's proven otherwise, it 0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:25.000 doesn't matter. It's already people's heads. It's fact. We sat 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.879 with the last election. Yeah, I mean, it'sn't it's it's 0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:29.920 true because when you see it, something in like the 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:33.960 right font, because it looks like what old media used 0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:37.399 to look like. It's just like it was written down 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:40.399 on my computer. It must be true, you know, It's 0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:44.319 like because I was trying to to um, it looks 0:38:44.320 --> 0:38:47.560 like it's not gonna happen, But I tried to because 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:49.760 a lot of the this election was a lot about 0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:53.319 fake news and about all that stuff, and so I 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.120 wanted to plant a fake news story about Wheeler, like 0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.880 kind of like your Bobby bone, like the Billboard thing. 0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:02.479 I wanted to get a crazy story about myself, playing 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.920 the news that went viral and plant like, you know, 0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.520 like that pizza place, what was that thing called pizza 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:12.239 Gate something like that about me and have it go big. 0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:14.120 Not like that though, not like that. Now. I was 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:16.400 like a sex I didn't want to get in anybody 0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:18.160 in trouble, but I wanted to. Can I tell you 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:19.440 what I wanted to do, as long as you don't 0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:22.279 feel like you're running it for later use, Well, yeah, 0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:23.440 I might want to do it, so I'll keep it 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.200 to myself. But it was something. It was something bad 0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.720 that happened to me, and I wanted people I wanted 0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:31.120 to do. I wanted to hire someone to put out 0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.560 fake news about me. But it's hard to find these, 0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.560 you know, these dudes stay pretty underground. Yeah, they're mostly 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.960 from other countries. Yeah, they are. They all the ones 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.560 I've been finding. It's like I gotta pay them in 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.720 you know, some weird kind of bitcoin. Bitcoin. Yeah, I'll 0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:48.320 tell you what. I don't have a lot of bitcoin. 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:53.759 How's that bitcoin thing work? Basically, you take money and 0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:56.600 you it's a currency exchange. It's just like any other dollar, 0:39:56.760 --> 0:40:00.480 but it goes up it does it like a stock point? No, 0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:02.520 I don't know. I thought I may have to if 0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:05.120 my computer gets hit by one of these malware viruses, 0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:07.680 because they did the whole cyber attack and they hit 0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:09.840 all the UK. It's they have FedEx in the United States, 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.240 but all the computers will pop up and it would say, boom, 0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:14.840 we got you. We need three hundred dollars. And what 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:16.400 you can do is send it to bitcoin. To send 0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:18.600 it to this address. You can't track the addressing bitcoin. 0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.879 It's not a real post office box. So it's it's 0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:23.960 how hackers are making money right now. I think they 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.080 made a couple of billion dollars. If someone hacked me 0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:28.080 and they said three inner bucks will unhack you, I'd 0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:30.160 pay you in to seconds. So what I would be 0:40:30.239 --> 0:40:32.040 some way like Durnner Bucks. But how do I know that? 0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.000 I gotta come back at me again. And even then, 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:36.440 you can't be like, here's my credit card, you know, 0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:40.160 take three you know in bitcoin exactly. Yeah, that's I'll 0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.319 get bitcoin for that. I get unhacked, I save them 0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:44.200 off files, and I throw that computer away. So you 0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.200 you got you bought the bitcoins to get ready for that. 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.560 I'm a whole closet full of bitcoin. It's not a 0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.399 real thing, is not a tangible Bitcoin's intangible thing. It's 0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.080 it's a bitcoins like credit. So they can't throw it 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.000 to you onto your own stage when you're playing. They 0:40:59.120 --> 0:41:01.239 don't asked to get paid. I can't, can't, I can't. 0:41:01.239 --> 0:41:04.360 I can't. I can't put bitcoin in a girl's bottom. 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:06.960 And I'm at the club. You can't know. Are you 0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:10.440 expecting people to come to your shows? Yeah, I mean 0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:12.360 that's the point. That's why I'm doing it. Yeah, I 0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:15.480 mean Exit in sold out. Um, we're doing three shows 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:19.040 that week, and I think it's Exit. It's Nashville doing 0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:24.840 Exit in uh New York Bowery Ballroom and troubad Or 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.000 in l A. I think they're all sold out. New 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:31.319 York might be you have some tickets, but um, they're 0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.480 buying tickets, so that's my thing. I'm playing the shows 0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:36.960 as long as people buy tickets. You're gonna Is this 0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:38.520 the thing you're gonna stick to doing? Are you gonna 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.680 try for album three, four or five? Yeah? I mean 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.400 it always comes up. Well, I always gonna stay one 0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.520 step ahead of them. But unfortunately, like I'm thinking, like 0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.560 you know, like the biggest trick I could play right 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:52.680 now would be to come out with like a clean record, 0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:53.960 but I don't know that. I want. You know, that 0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:58.200 would shock everyone. But is that really the game I 0:41:58.200 --> 0:41:59.839 want to play? I don't know. You know, I don't know. 0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:02.440 Do you find artists are trying to be your friends? 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:05.560 You don't attack them? Yeah, I mean I will. I 0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:08.000 won't name their name, but I think people would be 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:13.239 surprised what country artists have come out privately to me 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:15.560 through whoever. Like, I just want to let you know 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:20.120 I'm a fan. Like no, I don't want nothing about 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:21.719 I want you to open a show. I don't want 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:23.040 to see d I don't want to agreh and just 0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:24.879 want to let you know I'm a fan. I think 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.200 what you just said is the reason why I think 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.320 what they're saying is to leave me, leave me alone. 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:31.680 But I've met a lot of these dude, you know, 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:34.279 the big the big guys who are fans of mine. 0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:36.560 I'm just like, can you tweet about it? We're a 0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.759 T shirt or something. It doesn't help me. If you're 0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:40.480 a big star and you're a fan, you keep it 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:43.400 to yourself. Spit it out, dude. To be fair, I 0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:46.000 retweet you when I can because I think it's funny. Yeah, 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.399 you're good about that. You don't, I mean, you don't care. 0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.160 Aubrey Sellers is a big fan. She's a friend I love. 0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:53.120 I love Aubrey. You guess she's really good. She came 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:56.160 in with singing your praises. Yeah, and I think it's 0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.120 a you know, um, I don't think it. It's gonna 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:03.560 In fact, you you're you're you know Stapleton in my podcast, 0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.520 So he's obviously not worried about it. But it's not 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:10.080 gonna affect your sales, isn't you know? You know, like 0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:15.439 if I could see why, you know, like Luke Bryan 0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.800 ain't canna cover fu b But if he said in 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:19.279 an interview that he was a fan of mine, it's 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:22.000 not gonna He's not gonna go broke, you know, but 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.640 why would it benefit him to say he's a fan 0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:27.719 of something that could cost him money. I don't know. 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:29.480 I just want. I just want people like that to 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.439 say it. I want. I can't argue why. I can't 0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:35.360 argue why people like that shouldn't say. I mean, I 0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:38.240 understand why they're not, but I want still who publicly 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:40.319 has been the biggest person to Counting go. I enjoy 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:47.400 Wiler Walker Jr. Publicly. Um, if we're just playing a 0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:50.000 pure numbers game, I would say I did the Joe 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:53.040 Rogan podcast because he was a fan of Holy Mackerel. 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.759 I'll tell you what, And that's bigger than SNL. That's 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.160 Beard is a night show. He uh. Someone told me 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.960 some of his his podcasts get up to ten million downloads, 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:05.759 So that's bigger than network TV. That's what I'm saying. 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:07.759 The new which I don't need to explain to you, 0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.000 we're doing it right now, but this new media is 0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.279 it's crazy what you can do out there. I mean, 0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:17.719 I think if you were a new artist, I think 0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:19.880 going on Joe Rogan would be a better use of 0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:23.200 your time than SNL. Honestly, I understand the prestige of it. 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:25.880 But as far as what's going to move the needle, 0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:31.240 I think they go that those numbers are just getting 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:33.680 so big. Right Now, here's the difference, because I agree 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.080 with you, Like, if I had something to promote and 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:37.800 it was me and I already had a name, I 0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.880 would try to go on Joe Rogan because he has 0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:44.080 such a first of all, it's hilarious exactly, he is 0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.640 such a loyal if when he says it's good, they 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:50.680 go by. You know. The difference is when you do 0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:53.520 a SNL, it's not so much to sell, it's to 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:57.160 sell your peers that they should sell you so it 0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.879 verifies you. Yeah, So when it's like the blue check 0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:02.839 on your Twitter. When Maren goes on SNL, I don't 0:45:02.880 --> 0:45:04.560 think SNL sold a bunch of records for her. But 0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:06.360 then some more people were like, oh let me, okay, 0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:08.319 I should get in on this, and the next thing 0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:10.040 you see time you see you in the paper, you're like, oh, 0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:13.799 I know her. So I think they're used for different things. Yeah, 0:45:13.880 --> 0:45:16.400 But as far as just moving units, I think nowadays 0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:19.880 podcasts and all these other weirds. Because my thing is 0:45:19.880 --> 0:45:22.640 I like to always say yet like this guy. His 0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:26.359 name is Jehovah Jehovah I would assume not his birth name, 0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:30.239 but he plays video games on the on YouTube and 0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.600 he goes, hey, man, I've never done a podcast before, 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.680 but would you skype in? I would like to try 0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:37.720 a podcast, And he has a head a million YouTube followers, 0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.320 and I'm just like, yeah, just to do a podcast 0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:43.839 and you know, half a million people listen to it. 0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:46.719 Just be open to that, you know, I like to 0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:49.000 be open to that kind of stuff. I'll talk to thee. 0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:51.360 What happened was he was playing my he was playing 0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:54.640 video games while and singing my songs while he was playing, 0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:58.719 and people were listening liked watching him play video games 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.440 while he's saying my songs. Because we were noticing a 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:05.759 lot of people mentioning Jehovah on my videos. I'm like, 0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:08.759 our people finding God while you mean, it turns out 0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:12.839 this this this uh, this gamer guy was so there's 0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:16.160 like there's unlimited ways to now promote yourself. That's just 0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:20.319 so strange, you know, um, other than I mean, they 0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:23.759 used to be radio only and now it's well, I 0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:26.239 guess I should ask you your opinion on that. Being 0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.719 a radio guy like does that worry you or do you? Well? 0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:31.840 I do everything else, so it's all I guess. I 0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:33.719 think it's cool that you do radio. I don't like 0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:35.640 I want to compliment you too much because it roun 0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.480 my image, But that you're doing the podcast with the 0:46:38.600 --> 0:46:41.919 radio thing, I think there's there are a million ways 0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:44.239 to promote yourself. I tell artists all the time, like, hey, 0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:46.799 you don't have to have radio to succeed. Well, that's 0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:49.000 why I started the podcast because they were all these 0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:50.960 podcasts helped me out. Was like, wouldn't it be easy 0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:53.480 if I just did my own and then my podcast 0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:56.320 will help me out? But I'm not getting rogue numbers, 0:46:56.360 --> 0:46:59.359 so you won't until you do. It's just I mean 0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:02.040 even for I, I mean before we hit seven figures, 0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:05.359 it took forty episodes. Well you haven't had me on yet. 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:10.120 This one probably break the all, so can I I'll 0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:12.400 answer you much out radio right now in our format 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:15.399 and country radio moves and need more than anything else does. Yeah, 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.120 well that's my problem. That's that's where I'm hurting myself. 0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:20.920 And that's why Luck Luke komb singing about the weather's outside, 0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:25.479 so he's me doing a tie in with the Weather 0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:27.799 Channel is there? So I gotta beat this guy. I mean, 0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.799 you can't. You can't playing country music and doing a 0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:33.520 tie in with the Weather Channel. You're saying that's not country. 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:35.920 I don't. I don't even know. I don't know what 0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:41.919 that is. But like, you know, hey, man, you gotta 0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:43.719 check out this new artist on the Weather Channel. No, 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:46.480 I would be like, you know, man, that's enough. Shut up? 0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:50.920 What about who? While Walker Senior? That's my dad and 0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:56.920 who now wishes he'd called me Carl. He's nothing too 0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:59.799 happy about it, just because he doesn't call himself wheel Walker, 0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:02.000 so years called himself We have a walk and they're like, oh, 0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:04.920 you must be relations Like, don't even bring it up. 0:48:05.239 --> 0:48:08.560 You know, giving your mom and I headache. You know 0:48:08.600 --> 0:48:12.000 it's enough already. So I actually did my first interview. 0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:15.920 I didn't interview with an Alabama paper last week. They 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.799 won't interview my dad to me and my dad both 0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:20.680 got on a conference call and talked to this guy. 0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.799 And I can't wait to read this article. Is me 0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:26.120 with my dad yelling at me for forty five minutes. Well, 0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:28.759 this guy tried to break up and fight, so we'll 0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:30.160 see how it comes out. It was like he was 0:48:30.200 --> 0:48:31.600 listening into a call from back in the day when 0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:32.960 you pick up the phone and two people are on 0:48:33.000 --> 0:48:35.520 it talking exactly and he's like, we have time for 0:48:35.520 --> 0:48:37.279 a question that my dad's yell and I'm like, no, 0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:38.880 we're in the middle. We're in the middle.

I can tuck you right. 0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:02.000 Some was in Kentucky. We're gonna see if people will 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:05.440 have the colonies to play this thing. By the way, 0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.040 I can tell you the answer if you want to know. 0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:11.319 You know, they ain't gonna play it. But it's fun 0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:14.000 to try because I'm trying to play the game. But 0:49:14.080 --> 0:49:17.879 are you like trying to play the game again, You're 0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:19.320 doing the opposite that I got in trouble for.

I don't mean dirty, I'm just talking about, like, 0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:34.640 especially at first a lot. Here's here's a really good 0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:38.680 example for you. There was yeah the answers yes many 0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:41.799 times earlier in the first couple of years. And so 0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:44.759 there was an artist, it was mostly songwriter in town. 0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:46.600 So I called him. I was like, because I seen 0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:47.960 him on YouTube and I had some friends who had 0:49:47.960 --> 0:49:51.440 written with them a lot, and so I'm like, hey's regrets. 0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:52.800 I called him once and he was in the shower 0:49:53.080 --> 0:49:55.520 and he's like, oh, man, let me call you right back. 0:49:55.520 --> 0:49:57.640 This is on the air. Calls me back. I was like, hey, 0:49:57.640 --> 0:49:59.600 did you come up and play our show? And he 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:03.359 didn't have song, didn't have a never record out. I've 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:05.480 been in bands before, but he didn't have a song. 0:50:05.560 --> 0:50:07.800 He's promoting then, and so it came up and played 0:50:08.080 --> 0:50:11.319 and it was amazing. He left and said, hey, should 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:13.880 come up again. Two weeks later, comes up, plays again, amazing. 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:16.720 My boss calls, he goes, hey, we're getting complaints because 0:50:16.760 --> 0:50:20.400 this artist nobody knows who he is, and you're on 0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:23.359 in a hundred cities and you have the unknown artist 0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:24.879 that nobody and I was like, but he's so good 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:26.520 does that even matter? And that was the argument, he's 0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:28.560 so good, he's so good. Played one more time and 0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:31.000 they're like, you have to stop having them on, so 0:50:32.160 --> 0:50:34.800 smash cut to about two months later, he's playing the 0:50:34.800 --> 0:50:37.799 Cima with Justin timber Lake. It's Chris Stapleton, and all 0:50:37.840 --> 0:50:40.359 of a sudden, it's like, okay, you know what we're 0:50:40.360 --> 0:50:43.040 gonna So basically they don't trust you to break new artists. 0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:45.239 They didn't, and that was the That was kind of 0:50:45.280 --> 0:50:47.759 the final pop. If I were you do you use 0:50:47.880 --> 0:50:51.360 as examples sometimes? But the thing is I didn't break Chris. 0:50:51.440 --> 0:50:53.720 But but I'm saying, look, but I guess my question 0:50:53.800 --> 0:50:57.640 is to them, it does them no good for you 0:50:57.680 --> 0:50:59.840 to break an artist, is what you're saying. It doesn't 0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:03.040 out because the artists that I've had in before, like 0:51:03.120 --> 0:51:06.319 I broke Jansen, Chris Jansen, like he even't even record label. 0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:08.960 When I played this song Cam she came in. It 0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:11.799 wasn't even her single. Burning House wasn't a single. I'm 0:51:11.800 --> 0:51:13.840 just gonna show up at your station just start playing. 0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:16.320 We had Marin before her songs were even downloadable that 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:17.840 it was just well, I thought it was cool, you know, 0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:19.239 like I said, I thought it was cool for you 0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:21.680 because like Lorie's albums on a really small label. I 0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:23.040 thought it was cool for you to have Lori and 0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:25.399 that was really cool. You know, getting that out there 0:51:25.440 --> 0:51:28.840 is cool because that's that obviously had to help. I 0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:30.960 got a lot of trouble at first, but then they 0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:34.360 started to say, okay, well he's he's batting pretty high 0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:37.120 and it's good for the company. Tucker Bethard, you know, 0:51:37.320 --> 0:51:39.600 his song wasn't even threw him on. So yeah, I know, 0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:41.840 I don't even more. Now you're just rubbing it in 0:51:41.960 --> 0:51:44.680 about what what I could get if I if you 0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:46.400 just showed up with We've had artis show up with 0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:49.040 the guitarsist in the in the lobby and then get 0:51:49.200 --> 0:51:51.200 really upset they couldn't get in the studio. So I could, 0:51:51.239 --> 0:51:53.080 I could, I could play a clean version on my 0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:57.319 acoustic I clean version of what summers in Kentucky? Then 0:51:57.400 --> 0:51:59.279 why not make a clean version for radio? Because you 0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:03.080 know radio playing to act like a bad bad MF. 0:52:03.120 --> 0:52:04.799 You know, I gotta go. But a bad m F 0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:07.200 doesn't get on the radio. And you don't need the radio. 0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:09.000 But a bad m F does not get on the radio. 0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:11.839 I know. I again, where were you two years ago 0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:14.239 when I when I was trying to do you know, 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:17.839 what kind of song did you have two years ago? 0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:20.040 I'm saying, when I made the first record, if you 0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:22.160 told me make a clean version and I'll play it, 0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:23.840 I would have done it. But I just assumed no 0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:26.040 one was gonna play it anyway. That's why I didn't 0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:28.839 do it. Yeah, I'll come by place a clean version 0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:35.000 of Somers in Kentucky. But um, uh, you know uh, 0:52:35.280 --> 0:52:37.279 because I mean the other thing too, is it's hard 0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:39.759 because I'm doing New York Press next week and we're 0:52:39.760 --> 0:52:43.359 gonna do Stern I think, So it's like there, I'm 0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:46.120 not gonna have to to do it. So then do 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:48.239 I want to come back and do Rigor Radio and 0:52:48.440 --> 0:52:52.120 clean it up? My answers probably yeah, because I gotta 0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:54.560 I gotta get this. I get I gotta get the this. 0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:57.040 Uh the lead singer of the Weather Channel off the charts. 0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:01.480 The fact that you're getting starting is pretty awesome. Um yeah, 0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:04.360 I'm I was psyched about it. I think to be honest. 0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:07.960 So we're doing I know, we're doing the after show show, 0:53:08.000 --> 0:53:10.279 and then I'm not sure, and then there was the 0:53:10.360 --> 0:53:13.959 possibility of doing the actual Stern maybe the week after. 0:53:14.040 --> 0:53:19.799 I don't know. Yeah, I'm a huge fan. Yeah, I 0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:21.960 love him. Yeah, even now, I don't know, do you 0:53:23.040 --> 0:53:25.239 I still do? Yeah? And I, Um, I did the 0:53:25.360 --> 0:53:29.080 I did the wrap up show last year and um 0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:31.120 sal and Richard gave me a tour the studio was 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:34.960 like the best part of my whole my whole, the 0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:38.319 whole promo experience. Like I saw the studio, Howard's desk 0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:40.880 and everything, and I had a blast. It was like 0:53:41.520 --> 0:53:43.440 it was better than country music called thing for me. 0:53:43.760 --> 0:53:45.759 You meet Gary and John? Yeah, because she did the 0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:47.799 show with them, right. Yeah. You know I love about 0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:51.200 about the wrap up show is Gary and John. They'll 0:53:51.239 --> 0:53:54.600 come in arguing about it's you realize when you're there, 0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:57.279 this is real. They're arguing about what just happened on 0:53:57.320 --> 0:53:59.239 the air, and they sit down and just flip the 0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:02.880 mics on. They're going like, did you meet j D. Yeah, 0:54:02.880 --> 0:54:04.359 so you get to meet it. I'm as you can say, 0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:06.200 I'm I'm a super fan. Yeah, I met you. I 0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:09.160 hung out with j D a little bit sal Richard 0:54:10.080 --> 0:54:15.120 Um John Heine and uh hit him with the hind 0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:19.600 and uh uh and boba booie. Um. So it's yeah, 0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:21.640 I was a heck of a day for me. Satellite 0:54:21.680 --> 0:54:24.200 is playing some of your stuff. Yeah, all all countries 0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:30.440 playing it? Yeah, Al, who's the host? Mojo Nixon? Mojoe Nixon? 0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:31.839 Do you ever? Do you ever hear him? Growing up? 0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:33.879 He used to. He had a song that MTV played 0:54:33.920 --> 0:54:36.319 for a while. No, you know that's he. He had 0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:38.200 one called Elvis is Everywhere that people would play. And 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:40.640 there's also that Dead Milkman song that they used to 0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:44.480 play on MTV a lot with a Dead Milkman. The 0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:46.279 song is called punk Rock Girl. He's just singing about 0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:49.839 punk rock Girl. It's like he's talking about the local 0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:52.520 record store. If you're if your story ain't got Mojoe 0:54:52.640 --> 0:54:55.160 Nixon and your store could use some fixing. I'm not 0:54:55.200 --> 0:54:57.480 saying his poetry, but that's how I first heard the 0:54:57.560 --> 0:55:00.319 name Mojoe Nixon. It was the guy in in the 0:55:00.440 --> 0:55:02.840 video was mad that the local record store was Karen 0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:06.000 Mojo all right. I was coming out of June second. 0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:11.319 I hope people that are of Mike, How would you 0:55:11.360 --> 0:55:13.399 say this? Who should we tell to check this record out? 0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:19.719 Because a lot of audience to listen to it prisoners, um, degenerates. Uh, 0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:24.799 people who hate Dylan Scott but also like to sell 0:55:24.840 --> 0:55:26.839 a copy of Dylant Scott's gotta buy it. I ain't 0:55:26.840 --> 0:55:31.360 gonna get him one. Um. If you like if you 0:55:31.400 --> 0:55:34.880 like country music and you like you don't and you 0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:38.480 like it, you're you like it your music uncensored, you know, 0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:42.279 that's this is what this is for you. If you 0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:45.080 don't mind the dirty words and you're sick of people 0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:48.640 trying to hold back with if you hate what you 0:55:48.719 --> 0:55:52.760 just heard, it's this album for you. It's the anti 0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:56.759 Dylant Scott. If people listen to this and yeah, maybe 0:55:56.920 --> 0:55:58.600 I don't like the music, but it is paying that 0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:01.160 ten bucks free record or whatever it is. Is that 0:56:01.360 --> 0:56:06.080 also paying? Is it? Is it money toward or against 0:56:06.400 --> 0:56:08.879 the current state of country music? Absolutely? That's what I'm 0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:10.239 trying to do. I'm trying to try to turn this 0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:14.200 into a war. All right. Uh, Wheeler Walker Jr. A 0:56:14.239 --> 0:56:15.799 lot of people are gonna check you out and something 0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:17.880 they're gonna be mad at me for it, and that's okay. 0:56:17.960 --> 0:56:19.799 And Can I just say one thing. Don't blame don't 0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:23.200 blame Bobby. Don't yell at him.
