He's cool as hell, and I 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.240 had a new kind of sound that wanted to do, 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.160 and I think he's the one guy that could carry it, 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.920 and I came to his house. I had a show. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.520 Hold up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.400 You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.720 had like three hours played the record for him. We 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.039 kind of like got a scratch, and then he handsled 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:08.920 on his own on the road. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.240 Yeah, it was really cool.

I think. I think 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.840 David Bowie for me. He was such a legend and 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.400 did kind of every genre and did whatever he wanted. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:23.760 Diplog go to you on this one. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.600 When you record music, do you go in knowing you 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.520 want to make a song that sparked a certain emotion? 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.000 Or at times do you have a song and you 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.800 feel but then you find because you're recording it, it sparks 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.280 a different kind of emotions you alter that. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.760 I just go with the blankest slate you can imagine, 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.360 like I don't have any idea what I'm doing, Like 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.880 it could be like a reggae record, country record, metal. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.080 I just kind of go in with, like, what is 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.560 the weirdest thing I can make and how can I 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:45.400 make it make sense? 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:45.720 You know? 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.240 And then emotions comes later. That's when the songwriting comes 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.760 and everything kind of fits in. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:50.880 You know what about you, Bailey? 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.680 Is there ever a song that you write and it 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.080 feels it's an up tempo or a ballad and you 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.480 switch it, Like you change it and you go, what 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.200 if we shift this because it feels different? 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.480 I feel that's always later in the process, Like I'll 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.000 write it like the same thing, just blake blank slate 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.200 acoustic guitar, and then you start just writing off of 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.680 like immediate emotion, like what are those what does that 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.000 tracker chords. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:13.280 Make you feel? 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.960 And then it's usually my producer Austin that'll be like, dude, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.600 we should change this because this will feel a little 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.720 better here, and then we should up this tempo here 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 and do this. So yeah, it usually comes later for me. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.760 Yeah, when do you feel driven to listen to music? 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.440 Like when you're just listening for listening's sake, Like what's 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.000 what's the time when you turn it on just to 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.960 listen to old, old stuff that makes you feel good. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.520 It's my car man, like just kind of like driving 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.799 the best sound system. You just kind of like roll. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.200 And then I like to listen to new music too, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.320 but like the classics, you know, put on like Fleetwood 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.880 Mac or something but I always like to listen to 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.040 something I never heard to kind of like hear, what's 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:46.480 going on? 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.200 You know, what's your comfort music?

I found 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:00.720 this awesome playlist and it's called massage music that's not boring, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.760 and it actually makes me so's in when I'm trying 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.200 to chill and trying to just like just like feel myself. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.760 You know. So I listened to that. How did you 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.919 come across that? To begin with? Liketh? Let's get into this. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.560 So we talk about never having things in life, and 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.320 one of the things I had never experienced was a massage, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.760 and I'd been torn so much and I'm like, you 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.479 know what, I'm gonna get a massage, I think.

Oh yeah, it's 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:50.320 it's like, yeah, it's like connection on a whole different level. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.719 You're like, I know this person and they know me, 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.880 and they feel like like all the way across the world, 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.560 they've connected with me somehow through music. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.320 It's crazy. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.920 Yeah, what about you about when you play a festival 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.600 and it's like people that are there for kind of 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.760 everybody and nobody at the same time, but they come 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:05.560 together as one. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.360 Do you see that from up on stage? 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.440 Every festival is different. Because I'm a DJ, I kind 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.120 of look at the crowd and be like, what's gonna work. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.080 What's gonna like change their attitude or make them feel 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.880 some they never felt before. So I always try to 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.560 think of that. It's like a DJ's job is to 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.920 you can always play like great set, but if you 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.680 really make people go like I didn't know, I'd like that. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.600 You know. That feels like a real skill set that 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.840 I'd love to do. But I travel all over the world, 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.960 so going places like Pakistan, you know, like my first 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.640 time was like who people party here? And then I 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.520 was like they do the songs from YouTube and places 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.520 where like the music is contraband you know when you 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.120 play records for them and they're like, it's just like 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.120 the world is so united, you know, we don't know 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.080 about music is the one thing that everybody shares in common. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.800 I appreciate the time guys, Congratulations on the new song, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.960 looking forward to seeing a live performance tonight. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.680 Good luck, guys, have good yoh, thank you, thanks. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.400 All right. Awesome to hear from those guys. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.560 My first time ever meeting Diplo, and he doesn't remember, 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.640 and he shouldn't remember, because I'm they meet like ten 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.720 thousand people. I was doing the red carpet for the 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.840 Grammys for e He had hired me to come out 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.240 and be on the red carpet for a TV show and. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.400 There's a clip of I asked Dippolo. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:17.000 The question, does he ever hear sounds like random sounds 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.000 like when you open the door at the gas station 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.240 and it goes ding dong, like has he ever made 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.720 a song after something like that? And I think he 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.280 made a song after with that idea, That's all I'm saying. 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.920 I think I inspired that idea because I had never 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.600 heard the idea and it was a Joe question, and 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.680 then I think he did that. But a really cool 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.760 guy and obviously Bailey super cool. Crazy to see someone 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.120 like Bailey or even Jelly Roll explode in the past 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:42.199 couple of years. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:43.240 I mean, think about Bailey. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.800 That's so interesting if you don't know Bailey's story. And 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.760 sometimes it's hard to know the story that come up 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.439 once they get so big. But Bailey was basically working 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.600 for a pipeline and really didn't sing much like he's 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.040 saying at home and had saying one time and had 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.680 put it on social media, and I did it the 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.040 first ever interview he ever did, Like he came over 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.080 to my house because I thought his story was so 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.320 wild because he wasn't like on the radio or anything. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.360 He had this crazy streaming success and I was so 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.719 interested in it. And the first interview he ever did, 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.160 he came and he set for an hour with me, 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.400 and he said that he went to bed, put one 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.120 video up. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.360 It had like three million views. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.640 The next day he called his job and he quit 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.319 working on the pipeline. And this is all during COVID 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.280 as well. He didn't know what a manager was, and 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.920 you really wouldn't unless you've been in this industry, like 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.440 you wouldn't know what a manager does. He didn't know 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.120 about fees, you know, the difference in managers and agents, 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.199 and he had to learn all of that kind of 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.480 himself because he was driving down. He was from the 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.040 Midwest and he would drive down all the time every 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.000 week during COVID and take these meetings. And he talked 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.800 about how he had a meeting with an agent once 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.440 in a record label and he didn't know the difference. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:00.600 He had no idea what they were trying to get 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.040 him to do, but he signed a deal. Obviously, he's 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.160 massive now and you know for him, just talking with 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.400 him a lot and get to know him a little 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.720 bit too. It's the Morgan Wall and toward when Morgan 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.160 called him to ask him to open I know that 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.400 was super significant in his life. Bailey's also a kid, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.280 and I say kid because he's quite a bit younger 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:18.679 than I am. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:20.160 But when he started to make it. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.120 We grew up very similarly, like I never had a 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.160 bedroom going up, grew up very poor. Same thing with Bailey, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.920 and Bailey was one of those kids. I was like, hey, dude, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.200 here are the things you don't want. And I kind 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:33.400 of walked them through the things you can get in 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.360 trouble doing and not be canceled, and the things that 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:38.720 you can't do because. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.440 You will get canceled. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.640 And I was like, if you ever have to go 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.080 to jail, you can call me at any time. And 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.000 thank god he's never had to go to jail. We 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.640 appreciate that about Bailey. But he's a great, great kid, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.560 and he's it's crazy to see how how fast he's 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.080 blown up, and like in the country music critical mass, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.560 but even outside of country music, because again with Big 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.720 exa Plug and with Diplo, and I think both are 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.280 to which is pretty crazy. I was with Jelly Roll 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.240 earlier at the festival, and that's another guy that's been 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.120 pretty amazing to see, Like Jelly Roll stories super just professionally, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.000 like he was like with three six Mafia back in 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.839 the day, Like he was a hip hop artist, like 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.440 a full hip hop artist. And I would see Jelly 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.960 Roll on the golf course in Nashville. When I first 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.319 moved to town, I lived on in this gated community. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.400 I had never lived in a gated community, but I 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:32.280 was starting to make money and I had been like jumped, 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.240 I'd been attacked, I got pistol whipped at atm once. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.120 I got jumped at work outside of work going in 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.960 and so when I moved to Nashville, they made me 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.920 move somewhere that either had security or had gates. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.080 It was kind of part of the deal. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.120 And so I moved into this gated community and it 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.240 was kind of crazy because like Rascal flats Let Singer. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.240 Lived there, Carrie lived there. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.560 I moved there, and there's a golf course, and I 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.880 would see Jelly Roll on the golf course, except I 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.439 didn't know him from anything other than people. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.480 Would say he's a very face tatted rapper. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.000 But he was also on the golf course and he's 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.240 in a country club, and I thought the juxtaposition to 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.319 that was crazy. So that's how I knew jelly Roll 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680 to begin with. He played golf with like Steve Hodges, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.880 who was like a record guy, and so I would 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.800 see Jelly Roll and wouldn't know much about him until 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.760 later he got into the country music space. Now he 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.640 was a fan of our show, and we were probably 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.960 his first ever country interview that he did, and he 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.120 came in for like forty five to fifty minutes. That 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.760 interview has been streamed millions of times at this point, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.200 but even then you could tell the guy was super 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.439 appreciative for all the new things that had happened to him. 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.640 Now he's got a really great come up story as well, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.480 like spend a lot of time in prison, like cut 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.800 a lot of his creative teeth in prison and now 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.600 goes back to prisons a lot and works with inmates 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.800 and has built recording studios in prisons, just so these 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.480 guys and women know that there's when you do get out, 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.200 like there is a way to actually be successful. But 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.920 Jelly Roll has been that guy and he was here today. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.560 He's lost two hundred pounds, which is crazy to see. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.160 He's like almost half, you know, of what he used 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.440 to be. He had a wrestling shirt on, which is 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.040 you know, there's nothing more Jelly Roll than Jelly Roll 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.199 wearing a wrestling shirt. Another thing about Jelly that was 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.360 super cool is what he He was a wrestler, like 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.240 a raw and he wrestled Logan Paul and like for 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.320 a guy that came up going up in the South 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.160 that loved wrestling, actually got to go and wrestle like 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.200 on a pay per view like a super cool And 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.760 to be able to see him here tonight, and I 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.000 hadn't seen him in probably like three months. But the 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.880 cool thing about Jelly Roll is that he remembers everybody's name. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.679 And if you were like, I don't want to use 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.959 the word loyal, because I wouldn't say I was loyal, 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.920 but he was a fan of the show. His mom 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.840 was a fan of my show. And as soon as 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.000 he sees you, it's. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.079 Like, what a big hug. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.680 In this situation too, I would expect you kind of 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.439 know what you're walking into with interviews. But I saw 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.079 jelly Roll the last time before this. I was in 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.840 New Orleans for the Super Bowl and I was on 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.760 Fox and I was doing I was giving away an 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.520 award for the NFL Honors, and jelly Roll was a 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.640 part of one of the sketches. And again, there are 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.400 much more, much cooler people there than me at this event, 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.360 but jelly Roll's in the second row. And as soon 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.240 as the lights go down and they go off of 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.360 the television to commercial, first person yelling Bobby from the 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:22.240 crowd was jelly Roll. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:23.840 So that's just one of those guys that. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.840 As soon as you see him and he's so nice 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.080 and kind, you're like, is that real? 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:30.440 For sure? 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:30.840 Is real? 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.640 We were walking in we saw Yellow Cool Jay. He's 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.920 a big dude, like still a big dude, full long 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:43.880 leather like still puts on a super energetic, like sweaty show. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.560 But that was super cool. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.640 Brian Adams. Rumor is he had everybody clear. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.040 Of the room earlier when he was going into the room, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.040 and I thought, well, that's interesting Brian Adams, because that's 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.920 like got my first reels, and you know, some people 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.200 don't want people like staring at him. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:14:59.600 I get it. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.040 But then when I saw him walk by, he had 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.800 like one person with them. Usually it's people that have 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.640 like twenty people inside their entourage. So I don't really 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.080 know if that story is even true that he didn't 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.120 want people looking at him, But saw Brian Adams pretty 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.120 crazy to see somebody you've only seen on television. Saw 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.280 Maroon five, dude, Adam Durrett's no Adam, Adam Levine. Yeah, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.560 Dirret's is kind of crows, thank. 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.120 You full of tattoos. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:20.880 I was talking to a guy a few minutes ago 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.160 and I was like, Hey, who do you want to see? 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.240 And this guy's probably like sixty five or so, and 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.760 I thought maybe he'd say Sammy Haygark is Sammy Hagar's 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.320 playing tonight? And he said, uh, Tate McCrae, And I said, 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.360 how about that? Look at you like, he's like, I 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:34.880 bet she's a great performer. I was like, I bet 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.160 that's so it's an interesting night tonight. This is always 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.880 the coolest festival. Big thanks to Hyundai as well, because 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:44.320 one they give. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.320 Me a car and it's my favorite car. It's awesome. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.040 And I was caught on Mike earlier. I'll give you 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.880 one other behind the scenes thing. We were doing this 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.520 video shoot with Bailey and Diplo and I was miked 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.320 like an hour before. So I had this mic on 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.400 the whole time, and the Hyundai people have headphone because 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:01.880 they want to hear the shoot. I forget that I'm 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.760 wearing a mic because you don't see the mic. It's 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.760 taped to my chest. And Bailey comes up and he's like, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.880 do you like this car? And I'm like, dude, if 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.200 I didn't have this car given to me, I would. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.840 Buy the car. And he was like, are you serious. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.200 I said, I, me and my brother in law buy 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:19.360 this car. And so it's a fantastic car like I 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.480 have right now.

Check out Hyundai if you haven't 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.240 like the Elite cars. And they sponsored the end the 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.120 House of music in front of the arena, which was 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:34.640 super cool. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:36.080 So that's what we got from here. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.840
