17
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: known for its once in a lifetime collaborations. So how

18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: did ashes come together?

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: Diplo?

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: Well, I kind of briefly met Bailey, I think at

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: Morgan's show, one of them, and I think he's just

22
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: a guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell, and I

23
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: had a new kind of sound that wanted to do,

24
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: and I think he's the one guy that could carry it,

25
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: and I came to his house. I had a show.

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Hold up real quick. He was about to leave on tour.

27
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we

28
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: had like three hours played the record for him. We

29
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: kind of like got a scratch, and then he handsled

30
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: on his own on the road.

31
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really cool. He literally just like randomly

32
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: showed up to my house. I'm like, oh, hey, diplo, what.

33
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: Are you doing.

34
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 4: He's like, I have a song? Did I want to

35
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: show you? And I was like okay. And then now

36
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: we're here playing it live.

37
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: And so you record you say, like a scratch like

38
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: the first version at the house.

39
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 5: Did you use any of that in the actual track?

40
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 4: No.

41
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: We changed the key a little bit, changed the tempo

42
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: kind of like out of how he liked it, and

43
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: then he made it his own.

44
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 5: Do you just pull people's houses randomly, just be like

45
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 5: I got music.

46
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: I do that actually a lot. It works sometimes though

47
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: they don't answer the door. But he had a big

48
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: ass truck in his yard. I knew it was his house, so.

49
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you know it's Bailey's. Yeah, big trucks,

50
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 5: big rims, flashy.

51
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know to me honestly, seeing Diplo just like

52
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: park and get out and be like hey, it's like, dude,

53
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: imagine that. Like you're listening right now. You walk outside

54
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: of your house and Diplo is just standing in your

55
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: drive way and he has basically he just was there

56
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: with a boombox. He was like, listen to this song.

57
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: He was like, that's that's it, Bailey, I'll go to

58
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: you on this one, all right. Who would you want

59
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: to see duet together? If you could, you can magically

60
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: match two people, one dead, one alive.

61
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: Let's look like that. Okay, all right, all right, hmmm.

62
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 5: Or you can pick a dead person with you, but

63
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: it has to be dead person.

64
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go okay, all right, yeah, it's gonna be

65
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: a dead person only, all right.

66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: If I if I, if I could make a song

67
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 4: with anybody that isn't alive right now, I probably.

68
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: Can't pick Jesus.

69
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: Then that's the cop out here, Okay, But he wants

70
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: make a song with Jesus, got it?

71
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: Got it? Honestly?

72
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: Probably probably Chester Bennington, Lincoln Park, Yeah, Lincoln Park.

73
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, big fan.

74
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: Either that or Kirk Cob That would all be all

75
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: so crazy, same vibe diplo.

76
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: Uh shoot, I know it's gonna be next, but there's

77
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: nobody else. Who would you do with Bobby Jesus?

78
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: No, I was gonna go back to Jesus with Jesus? Okay,

79
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: if I were gonna Andy Kaufman.

80
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: Oh, like a like a spoken word album, yeah, like

81
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: funny spoken Kurt's a good one. I think. I think

82
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: David Bowie for me. He was such a legend and

83
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: did kind of every genre and did whatever he wanted.

84
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: Diplog go to you on this one.

85
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: When you record music, do you go in knowing you

86
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: want to make a song that sparked a certain emotion?

87
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Or at times do you have a song and you

88
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: feel but then you find because you're recording it, it sparks

89
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: a different kind of emotions you alter that.

90
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: I just go with the blankest slate you can imagine,

91
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: like I don't have any idea what I'm doing, Like

92
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: it could be like a reggae record, country record, metal.

93
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: I just kind of go in with, like, what is

94
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: the weirdest thing I can make and how can I

95
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: make it make sense?

96
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: You know?

97
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: And then emotions comes later. That's when the songwriting comes

98
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: and everything kind of fits in.

99
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: You know what about you, Bailey?

100
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Is there ever a song that you write and it

101
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: feels it's an up tempo or a ballad and you

102
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: switch it, Like you change it and you go, what

103
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: if we shift this because it feels different?

104
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: I feel that's always later in the process, Like I'll

105
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: write it like the same thing, just blake blank slate

106
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: acoustic guitar, and then you start just writing off of

107
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: like immediate emotion, like what are those what does that

108
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: tracker chords.

109
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 5: Make you feel?

110
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: And then it's usually my producer Austin that'll be like, dude,

111
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 4: we should change this because this will feel a little

112
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: better here, and then we should up this tempo here

113
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: and do this. So yeah, it usually comes later for me.

114
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, when do you feel driven to listen to music?

115
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Like when you're just listening for listening's sake, Like what's

116
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: what's the time when you turn it on just to

117
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: listen to old, old stuff that makes you feel good.

118
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: It's my car man, like just kind of like driving

119
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 3: the best sound system. You just kind of like roll.

120
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: And then I like to listen to new music too,

121
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: but like the classics, you know, put on like Fleetwood

122
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: Mac or something but I always like to listen to

123
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: something I never heard to kind of like hear, what's

124
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: going on?

125
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 5: You know, what's your comfort music? Bailey?

126
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 4: Ah, there's this again. I'm not even gonna lie m.

127
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: I get grilled for this, but I go. I found

128
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: this awesome playlist and it's called massage music that's not boring,

129
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: and it actually makes me so's in when I'm trying

130
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: to chill and trying to just like just like feel myself.

131
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: You know. So I listened to that. How did you

132
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 5: come across that? To begin with? Liketh? Let's get into this.

133
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: So we talk about never having things in life, and

134
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: one of the things I had never experienced was a massage,

135
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: and I'd been torn so much and I'm like, you

136
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: know what, I'm gonna get a massage, I think. So

137
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: when I was looking for music to put on, I

138
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: was like, well, I don't want to be boring, so

139
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: I was like, massage music that's not boring.

140
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: And then it just came up.

141
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: And then from then on, I just find myself going

142
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: back to that playlist, like this is nice.

143
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Massage yourself, like rubbing your own shoulders.

144
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, either that or I've been on I've been on

145
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: Scizzor's like twenty fourteen album. So yeah, I guess that too.

146
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: Speaking of massages. Is my dad's birthday yesterday and I

00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

161
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Final question, do you have a cool memory that stands

162
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: out for how music has connected fans together or an

163
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: event you've been at where you've seen fans really come together?

164
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: And Bailey, I'll go to you first.

165
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: I would say every show of mine is like it

166
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 4: reminds me why I do music and hearing we were

167
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: talking about earlier today, just the stories that come from

168
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 4: how far this music has reached in the world and

169
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: just like what it's got them through and why they're

170
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: at the show and hearing those stories. Oh yeah, it's

171
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, it's like connection on a whole different level.

172
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: You're like, I know this person and they know me,

173
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: and they feel like like all the way across the world,

174
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: they've connected with me somehow through music.

175
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

176
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about you about when you play a festival

177
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: and it's like people that are there for kind of

178
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: everybody and nobody at the same time, but they come

179
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: together as one.

180
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: Do you see that from up on stage?

181
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: Every festival is different. Because I'm a DJ, I kind

182
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: of look at the crowd and be like, what's gonna work.

183
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: What's gonna like change their attitude or make them feel

184
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: some they never felt before. So I always try to

185
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: think of that. It's like a DJ's job is to

186
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: you can always play like great set, but if you

187
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: really make people go like I didn't know, I'd like that.

188
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: You know. That feels like a real skill set that

189
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: I'd love to do. But I travel all over the world,

190
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: so going places like Pakistan, you know, like my first

191
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: time was like who people party here? And then I

192
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: was like they do the songs from YouTube and places

193
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: where like the music is contraband you know when you

194
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: play records for them and they're like, it's just like

195
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: the world is so united, you know, we don't know

196
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: about music is the one thing that everybody shares in common.

197
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: I appreciate the time guys, Congratulations on the new song,

198
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing a live performance tonight.

199
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: Good luck, guys, have good yoh, thank you, thanks.

200
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: All right. Awesome to hear from those guys.

201
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: My first time ever meeting Diplo, and he doesn't remember,

202
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: and he shouldn't remember, because I'm they meet like ten

203
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: thousand people. I was doing the red carpet for the

204
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: Grammys for e He had hired me to come out

205
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: and be on the red carpet for a TV show and.

206
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: There's a clip of I asked Dippolo.

207
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: The question, does he ever hear sounds like random sounds

208
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: like when you open the door at the gas station

209
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: and it goes ding dong, like has he ever made

210
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: a song after something like that? And I think he

211
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: made a song after with that idea, That's all I'm saying.

212
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: I think I inspired that idea because I had never

213
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: heard the idea and it was a Joe question, and

214
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: then I think he did that. But a really cool

215
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: guy and obviously Bailey super cool. Crazy to see someone

216
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: like Bailey or even Jelly Roll explode in the past

217
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: couple of years.

218
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, think about Bailey.

219
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: That's so interesting if you don't know Bailey's story. And

220
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: sometimes it's hard to know the story that come up

221
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 2: once they get so big. But Bailey was basically working

222
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: for a pipeline and really didn't sing much like he's

223
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: saying at home and had saying one time and had

224
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: put it on social media, and I did it the

225
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: first ever interview he ever did, Like he came over

226
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: to my house because I thought his story was so

227
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: wild because he wasn't like on the radio or anything.

228
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: He had this crazy streaming success and I was so

229
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 2: interested in it. And the first interview he ever did,

230
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: he came and he set for an hour with me,

231
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: and he said that he went to bed, put one

232
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: video up.

233
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: It had like three million views.

234
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: The next day he called his job and he quit

235
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: working on the pipeline. And this is all during COVID

236
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: as well. He didn't know what a manager was, and

237
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: you really wouldn't unless you've been in this industry, like

238
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know what a manager does. He didn't know

239
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: about fees, you know, the difference in managers and agents,

240
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: and he had to learn all of that kind of

241
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: himself because he was driving down. He was from the

242
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: Midwest and he would drive down all the time every

243
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: week during COVID and take these meetings. And he talked

244
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: about how he had a meeting with an agent once

245
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: in a record label and he didn't know the difference.

246
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: He had no idea what they were trying to get

247
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: him to do, but he signed a deal. Obviously, he's

248
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: massive now and you know for him, just talking with

249
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: him a lot and get to know him a little

250
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: bit too. It's the Morgan Wall and toward when Morgan

251
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: called him to ask him to open I know that

252
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: was super significant in his life. Bailey's also a kid,

253
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: and I say kid because he's quite a bit younger

254
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: than I am.

255
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: But when he started to make it.

256
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: We grew up very similarly, like I never had a

257
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: bedroom going up, grew up very poor. Same thing with Bailey,

258
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: and Bailey was one of those kids. I was like, hey, dude,

259
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: here are the things you don't want. And I kind

260
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: of walked them through the things you can get in

261
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: trouble doing and not be canceled, and the things that

262
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: you can't do because.

263
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: You will get canceled.

264
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: And I was like, if you ever have to go

265
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: to jail, you can call me at any time. And

266
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: thank god he's never had to go to jail. We

267
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: appreciate that about Bailey. But he's a great, great kid,

268
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: and he's it's crazy to see how how fast he's

269
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: blown up, and like in the country music critical mass,

270
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: but even outside of country music, because again with Big

271
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: exa Plug and with Diplo, and I think both are

272
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: to which is pretty crazy. I was with Jelly Roll

273
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: earlier at the festival, and that's another guy that's been

274
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: pretty amazing to see, Like Jelly Roll stories super just professionally,

275
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: like he was like with three six Mafia back in

276
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: the day, Like he was a hip hop artist, like

277
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: a full hip hop artist. And I would see Jelly

278
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: Roll on the golf course in Nashville. When I first

279
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: moved to town, I lived on in this gated community.

280
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: I had never lived in a gated community, but I

281
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: was starting to make money and I had been like jumped,

282
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: I'd been attacked, I got pistol whipped at atm once.

283
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: I got jumped at work outside of work going in

284
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: and so when I moved to Nashville, they made me

285
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: move somewhere that either had security or had gates.

286
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of part of the deal.

287
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: And so I moved into this gated community and it

288
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: was kind of crazy because like Rascal flats Let Singer.

289
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: Lived there, Carrie lived there.

290
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: I moved there, and there's a golf course, and I

291
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: would see Jelly Roll on the golf course, except I

292
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: didn't know him from anything other than people.

293
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: Would say he's a very face tatted rapper.

294
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: But he was also on the golf course and he's

295
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: in a country club, and I thought the juxtaposition to

296
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: that was crazy. So that's how I knew jelly Roll

297
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: to begin with. He played golf with like Steve Hodges,

298
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: who was like a record guy, and so I would

299
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: see Jelly Roll and wouldn't know much about him until

300
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: later he got into the country music space. Now he

301
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: was a fan of our show, and we were probably

302
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: his first ever country interview that he did, and he

303
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: came in for like forty five to fifty minutes. That

304
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: interview has been streamed millions of times at this point,

305
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: but even then you could tell the guy was super

306
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: appreciative for all the new things that had happened to him.

307
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: Now he's got a really great come up story as well,

308
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: like spend a lot of time in prison, like cut

309
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: a lot of his creative teeth in prison and now

310
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: goes back to prisons a lot and works with inmates

311
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: and has built recording studios in prisons, just so these

312
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: guys and women know that there's when you do get out,

313
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: like there is a way to actually be successful. But

314
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: Jelly Roll has been that guy and he was here today.

315
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: He's lost two hundred pounds, which is crazy to see.

316
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: He's like almost half, you know, of what he used

317
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: to be. He had a wrestling shirt on, which is

318
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: you know, there's nothing more Jelly Roll than Jelly Roll

319
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: wearing a wrestling shirt. Another thing about Jelly that was

320
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: super cool is what he He was a wrestler, like

321
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: a raw and he wrestled Logan Paul and like for

322
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: a guy that came up going up in the South

323
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: that loved wrestling, actually got to go and wrestle like

324
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: on a pay per view like a super cool And

325
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: to be able to see him here tonight, and I

326
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: hadn't seen him in probably like three months. But the

327
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: cool thing about Jelly Roll is that he remembers everybody's name.

328
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: And if you were like, I don't want to use

329
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: the word loyal, because I wouldn't say I was loyal,

330
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: but he was a fan of the show. His mom

331
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: was a fan of my show. And as soon as

332
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: he sees you, it's.

333
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: Like, what a big hug.

334
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: In this situation too, I would expect you kind of

335
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 2: know what you're walking into with interviews. But I saw

336
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: jelly Roll the last time before this. I was in

337
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: New Orleans for the Super Bowl and I was on

338
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: Fox and I was doing I was giving away an

339
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: award for the NFL Honors, and jelly Roll was a

340
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: part of one of the sketches. And again, there are

341
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: much more, much cooler people there than me at this event,

342
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: but jelly Roll's in the second row. And as soon

343
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: as the lights go down and they go off of

344
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: the television to commercial, first person yelling Bobby from the

345
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: crowd was jelly Roll.

346
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: So that's just one of those guys that.

347
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: As soon as you see him and he's so nice

348
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: and kind, you're like, is that real?

349
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: For sure?

350
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 5: Is real?

351
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: We were walking in we saw Yellow Cool Jay. He's

352
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: a big dude, like still a big dude, full long

353
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: leather like still puts on a super energetic, like sweaty show.

354
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: But that was super cool.

355
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Brian Adams. Rumor is he had everybody clear.

356
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: Of the room earlier when he was going into the room,

357
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: and I thought, well, that's interesting Brian Adams, because that's

358
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: like got my first reels, and you know, some people

359
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: don't want people like staring at him.

360
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 5: I get it.

361
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: But then when I saw him walk by, he had

362
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: like one person with them. Usually it's people that have

363
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: like twenty people inside their entourage. So I don't really

364
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: know if that story is even true that he didn't

365
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: want people looking at him, But saw Brian Adams pretty

366
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: crazy to see somebody you've only seen on television. Saw

367
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Maroon five, dude, Adam Durrett's no Adam, Adam Levine. Yeah,

368
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: Dirret's is kind of crows, thank.

369
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: You full of tattoos.

370
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: I was talking to a guy a few minutes ago

371
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: and I was like, Hey, who do you want to see?

372
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: And this guy's probably like sixty five or so, and

373
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: I thought maybe he'd say Sammy Haygark is Sammy Hagar's

374
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: playing tonight? And he said, uh, Tate McCrae, And I said,

375
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: how about that? Look at you like, he's like, I

376
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: bet she's a great performer. I was like, I bet

377
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: that's so it's an interesting night tonight. This is always
