Speaker 1: Hello, pod Diary. For you, this pod diary.

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Will feel a little bit It is the week that

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: was in America, but I've done a little bit of

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: travel in the last week. I got back at midnight

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: last night from Nashville. I also went to Memphis. Met

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: Mom in Memphis, and we did I want to call

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: it a mother daughter birthday celebration. So I got in

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: exactly a month before Mum's birthday next month month, and

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: then that same date is exactly three months before my

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: birthday because we were both born on the fourteenth. She

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: was the fourteenth of July and I was fourteenth of September.

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: So we got in.

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: We met at Memphis Airport, and I just want to

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: check if there's anything else I going to tell you about.

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Before Memphis By the way, because this is a week

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: catch up. I think I told you I put a

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: diary up. I also filmed an exciting audition that all

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: happened since we last spoke, so I don't want to

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: miss anything for this update. I feel like I need

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: my phone here because I'm completely.

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Like the photo. It's like a photo diary.

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: It just gives me a really good guide of it,

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: even though I've written a whole substack on this. Anyway,

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: since we last spoke. I recorded it right before we went.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: We Boss and I went to the Month and Son's

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Holy mac Deaf the best

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: live performance I've ever seen, And you know me, I

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: love a live gig. I love a performance. I've seen

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: some of my favorite artists over the years, but this

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: was hands down the best. The passion, the energy, like

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: I cried for about half of it, Like it was

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: that the feels, oh, and like the great thing about

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Momfter's sons is there's like songs that are like you

41
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: get so excited about and like everyone's dancing around and

42
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: going mental for and then there are songs that are

43
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: like really mallow and heartfelt and you know, bring up

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: the feels and everyone goes super quiet for them, like

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: it's so beautiful to experience all of those things. So

46
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: we went to the gig at the Hollywood Bowl. I cried,

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: I got a bit of merch because I'm mad for

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: a bit of merch.

49
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: And it was just on flipping.

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Their support act was I believe It's good neighbors and

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: they do that song home and which was really fun

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: because as we walked in that's what was playing as well.

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: We had really great seeds. I had just to be honest.

54
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: As soon as the tickets went on sale, I was

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: stalking the tickets daily and I was watching to see

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: if there was a price hike or decrease. And then

57
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: when Boss got back from Australia, I was like, let's

58
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: just check, and we went. I just went to like

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: faux book them essentially, and I was able to see

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: like there were nearly no spots at all in the

61
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: entire of the Hollywood Bowl next to one another, and

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: I was like, shivers, we got to pull this trigger now.

63
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: So we pulled the trigger.

64
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: They were an investment, but they were unreal, and we

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: sat together and there were surprise fireworks at the end.

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Oh so good, Like ten out of ten, all the

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: bangers in there, all the faves like Little Lionman, the Cave.

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: The Cave is what they closed with the fireworks coming out,

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: but then also so much stuff off their new album

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: Rush Me Up. I highly recommend if you're listening to

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: this and you see that they're touring near you, because

72
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: they're about to do a whole railroad tour as well,

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: definitely get tickets because the passion is just like none other,

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: none other, and also being at that iconic location. Even

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: at the very start, Marcus Mumford was like this is

76
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: the best. He's like, this is my favorite place to

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: perform in the whole entire world. I think he might

78
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: drop the F bomb in there as well. So that

79
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: was unflipp and real loved it, loved it, loved it

80
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: so much and just oh So. That was Thursday night.

81
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Then I worked Friday. Friday night, I had a meet

82
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: with my agent in Australia and then Boss my me

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: dinner and literally went to bed, got picked up at

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: four am in the morning to get a six am flight. Two.

85
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: You can't go fun fact, you can't go LA to

86
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Memphis direct.

87
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Do you have to go La Atlanta.

88
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: Or I don't know where it was, but I went

89
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: to Austin is where I had to go. So I

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: had to go La Austin, which is Austin is in

91
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: the state of Texas, and then Austin to Memphis, Tennessee.

92
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: So I've never spent any time in Texas. I'd love

93
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: to one day, but I was like, oh my god,

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: to stick another state of America. I've figured out before

95
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: I record this, I've visited six states in America so far,

96
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: and there's something like fifty two, isn't there. So I've

97
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: been to New York, California, Hawaii, Florida, oh seven, Tennessee

98
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: obviously I've just got back from and if you include

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Texas because of the airport six, that is six oh

100
00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: hang on California, New York, Florida, Hawaii, Tennessee, Texas six. Anyway,

101
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: it was.

102
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: The flight was fine. Sorry was getting sidetracked. The flight

103
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: was fine.

104
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: It is just there's a time difference, so they're on

105
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: Central Time in Tennessee, which means they're two hours ahead

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: of us in LA. And the travel day ended up

107
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: being about six and a half hours. And that was

108
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: a good run, as in like you can spend twelve

109
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: hours flying there ten hours flying there, like it's a hike.

110
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: So a friend of mine, Freddie if you ever listened

111
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: to this, said to me, if you're going to go

112
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: to Memphis, He's like, because you're going so far for

113
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: a really short amount of time, try to tack on

114
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: another day and do Nashville, which is what I did

115
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: now full I'm not going to go into crazy depth

116
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: in this diary because on Monday, I'm bringing out a

117
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: Memphis Nashville special. So I will go into all the detail.

118
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: What was great about it, what was it all the things.

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: I'll just be like completely honest with you about it all.

120
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: I'll give you a bit of that now as well.

121
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: But I must say it was so good to tack

122
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: on Nashville because it felt like a whole other adventure.

123
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: And I spent a day in Nashville, and then I

124
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: flew out last late last night, so it was like

125
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: a big travel couple of days. But it was so

126
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: I think it was really worth spending that extra day

127
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: in soaking up Nashville because I've done New York in

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: two nights before you fly, and you've got two nights

129
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: New York and you fly jet straight back. I think

130
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,559
Speaker 2: I prefer like tacking that extra day on, like having

131
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: a little bit more to just ground yourself and then

132
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: coming back. And yeah, I think I think that three

133
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: nights is my sweet spot when I go away as

134
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: a postal, two nights is like you just get your

135
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: rhythm and then you leave.

136
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I think I figured out that that's what how I

137
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: like to travel.

138
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, So Mom and I met, and like I said,

139
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: it was a month before her birthday of the day

140
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: I got in and a month to three months before mine.

141
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: So we and we just wanted to explore.

142
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: So Beiale Street is like famous like music strip for

143
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: the blues, right, and so we went there. We explored it,

144
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: lots of like touristy attraction y spots and we went

145
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: out for dinner there at a place called Blue City

146
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: Cafe and it's in the middle of Beale Street. It's

147
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: unreal though, really great food. I got ribs, Mum got

148
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: gumbo and like collard greens.

149
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: They love greens in the South.

150
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: I gotta say the food overall, the food in Memphis,

151
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: like if you just aren't too worried about like like

152
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: as a nutritionist, I had to kind of be like

153
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: this is okay, you're traveling. The food was incredible, do

154
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like it was all that

155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Southern food, Like I had biscuit one day, I had

156
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: ribs and beans. When I went to Nashville, I had

157
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: hot chicken, and everything comes out with like hot honey.

158
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: Oh so good.

159
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: So I would say, like it's definitely a foodies paradise,

160
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: maybe not a health foodies paradise. Like there was no

161
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: Whole Foods in Memphis that I could see. The Trader

162
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: Joe's was over half an hour away, So it's definitely

163
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: more of a foodies heaven than necessarily health foodies heaven.

164
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: But I did find I was able to find some

165
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: really good coffee. So good, right, So we went to that.

166
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 2: We did Bill Street the first night and then just

167
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: kind of like meandered on back and then the second

168
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: day was kind of like we all all that we

169
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: had planned for the second day was Sun's Studio, which

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: is the famous recording studio set up by Sam Phillips

171
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: and it's where Elvis kind of got his big break.

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: He went in at eighteen, paid the like I think

173
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: it was something like four dollars to record a song,

174
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: which was that famous song as known for which is

175
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: it's alright, mama, and then there like secretary, she was

176
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: like said to Sam Phillips because he wasn't there that day,

177
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: she was like, oh my god, you gotta hear this kid.

178
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: He's amazing. But Sam Phillips was trying to get away

179
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: from pop so he was like, na, not having it.

180
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: But he bought Elvis in a year later to be

181
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 2: a vocalist for a band he was putting together, and

182
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: that's when everything kind of turned around for Elvis. But

183
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: also Johnny Cash wrote there. Jerry Lee Lewis, which is

184
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: great Balls of Fire wrote there as well, so it's

185
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: like incredible. And before Sam Phillips passed away, he donated

186
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: one of the recording microphones and he said, my only

187
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: stipulation is that you don't hide this behind glass, like

188
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: let people touch it, hold it, feel the energy of it.

189
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: And like there's still sticky marks on the floor from

190
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: where Elvis was like would stand and record, So you

191
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: like literally get to stand where Elvis stands, You get

192
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: to hold the mic that Elvis sang into really fucking

193
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: kol same with like Johnny Cash. It was less of

194
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: a note to Johnny Cash, even though I think he's

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: done more records.

196
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: With Sun Studio than Elvis.

197
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, but heavy into music, so worth

198
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: it twenty buckos and it's got a little coffee shop

199
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: attached to it and a great gift store.

200
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Highly recommend.

201
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: And then the next day was our oh, and then

202
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: that afternoon Mum really wanted to go to the Civil

203
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: Rights Museum, which is called the Lorraine Hotel. It's where

204
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: Martin Luther King was shot. I also really love Otis reading,

205
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: and I really wanted to explore a bit more of

206
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: the music culture in Memphis, and so I went to

207
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: Stacks Music Museum. I believe it's called the Music Museum

208
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: of American Soul Music. And it was unreal. I didn't

209
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: understand that I went to a really unsafe area though,

210
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: and I did a little Google when I got home,

211
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 2: and like, I think there were four shootings in the

212
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: last forty eight hours or something in the area I

213
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: went to. Because my uber driver Legit was like, honey,

214
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: you've got a gun. And I was like no. She's like, honey,

215
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna need one. And I'm like what, And she's like,

216
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna need a gun around here, And I was like, oh,

217
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: my god. So anyway, I get into the museum and

218
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: it shuts and I'm waiting for my uber and it

219
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: says twelve minutes. And that literally the security guard and

220
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: the person running the museum that they stood with me

221
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: because they're like, oh, no, you cannot stand to stand

222
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: out here alone. So they stood with me. It was bright,

223
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: it was like five pm. It was bright daylight, and

224
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: they were like, nah, we're staying with you. So they

225
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: stayed with me while they waited for.

226
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: The uber driver.

227
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: So there were a few moments where I was like,

228
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: oh wow, and it felt Memphis, I will say, felt

229
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: very deserted, like there's no one on the streets. There's

230
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: no hustle and bustle. There is in Beale Street like

231
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: that like music Celebration Street, but that street is like

232
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: one hundred meters long. It's very small and short. So

233
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: just fascinating, and I think I would just say, like,

234
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: definitely research the area you stay if you go to Memphis.

235
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: And then the next day was Graceland Day. So Graceland

236
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: is kind of like in its own area outside of Memphis,

237
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: which it actually had a cool little vibe too, of

238
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: like shops and good foodie spots around it as well,

239
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: and graceland. I would say, if you go give yourself

240
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: the whole day. We got there at eleven and stayed

241
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: till it closed, which was five pm, and we got

242
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: we saw everything that we wanted, like fully everything, but

243
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: that last kind of like half an hour, we were

244
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: a little bit in a rush because we were like

245
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: like we can't miss the plane. Blah blah blah planes.

246
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: Sorry plural, but Graysun was incredible. I would say his

247
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: grave is like super emotional. Basically before he passed away,

248
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: he had set that area up as his own meditation spot,

249
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: so he's fulling into like numerology crystals, like he would

250
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: wear a tiger's eye gold ring and then he had

251
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: a fire opal gold ring socurl. But where when you

252
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: get to his meditation area, which is where he's buried.

253
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:56,239
Speaker 2: I believe his grandmother Minnie, his mom is married Gladys

254
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: Gladys Love he's his mum's name, and then his dad Vernon,

255
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: and then Lisa Marie is buried there and her son Benjamin.

256
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: So there's a lot, like it's quite sad, like there's

257
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: a lot of feeling and emotion and everything that comes up,

258
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: Like I was like, oh my god, like it just

259
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: all you want is cry.

260
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: It's really so beautiful.

261
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: But like the feeling there and the energy is just

262
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: like like really hits you. And as soon as like

263
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: you go from because you tour his whole house at Graceland,

264
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: Pierce the Jungle Room, it was my fave or going

265
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: to way more depth on the full Memphis and Nashville

266
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: episode that will come out on Monday, but the whole

267
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: house is like quite fun and you can imagine where

268
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: he would have like sat and had dinner and chilled

269
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: with his buttos and all of that kind of thing

270
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: and written music. But there when you get to the

271
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: memorial section and where he's buried, is just like a

272
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: wave of emoe. Like it is like like I'm even

273
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: like controlling myself right now because it's like a tidal

274
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: wave of emotion just like washes over you, over you,

275
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my god, this is so sad

276
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: but really beautiful at the same time. So if you

277
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: are an Elvis fan one hundred percent, go to Graceland,

278
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: like one hundred million percent, I would say go to

279
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Graceland Sun Studio. If you're into music in general and

280
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: you love like otis Redding. Isaac Hayes one hundred percent.

281
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: Go to Stacks Museum as well. Just be super aware,

282
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: hyper aware of the area. I felt super safe at

283
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: Graceland and pretty fine at Sunsserea. We walked in Sunstreio.

284
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: Did that's downtown? We walked there, but like you probably

285
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't walk there at night. I would say, but yeah,

286
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: just be I would say, like, be aware of that.

287
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I believe Tennessee.

288
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't know too much about the states and politics

289
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: on that, but I believe Memphis is blue, but Tennessee

290
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 2: is red.

291
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: I think.

292
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: So Graceland ten out of ten, absolutely amazing. We get

293
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: back to the hotel that oh. We actually had beautiful

294
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: ribs at a place right near Graceland called Marlow's, And

295
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: the whole cafe is like a diner.

296
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: It's all themed around Elvis.

297
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: So if you want to enjure day like in amazing

298
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: Elvis mode, go there and like I got a whiskey.

299
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: It was five dollars fifty.

300
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: The food, living, and expenses in Memphis is cheap, much

301
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: cheaper than Nashville, definitely cheaper than LA but really cheap.

302
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: So your expenses in Memphis would be Graceland. I think

303
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: tickets are about seventy five bucks a pop, and you're

304
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: a calm in your flights and even ubers aren't expensive

305
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: because Memphis, like to get from the airport to like

306
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: anywhere in Memphis is like twenty five minutes and it's

307
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: like twenty bucks in an uber, so it's not crazy.

308
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: So I would say spend your money on like saying,

309
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: in a nice area and you're a obviously your combat

310
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: your flights and your Graceland tickets, all the other tours

311
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: like twenty bucks like Stacks and Sun Studio.

312
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: Else.

313
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So that was Memphis mum, and then went on

314
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: to Chicago. Fun fact, she was meant to get a

315
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: train that something got derailed, so she didn't get the train.

316
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: She came back to our calm because I was flying

317
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: out the next morning. She didn't call it well because

318
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: my phone goes on do not disturb at night. This

319
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: was all happening at like eleven pm at night. Anyway,

320
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: I'm like facetiming Matt, and I can hear someone. It

321
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: was like a lock box where you had to put sorry.

322
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: It was like a code box where you had to

323
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: like dip a code to get in I think ours

324
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: was like five nine three two or something anyway, and

325
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: she's trying to do this code and I'm like, oh, Boss,

326
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: someone must be locked out of their apartments. Because that

327
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: was like a motel, it was all linked. I was like,

328
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: I can hear someone trying to get into their house.

329
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: And I was like, fuck, they sound close. Imagine if

330
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: they were trying to get into my apartment. I'm on

331
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: my own this stage. And for sure, the two we

332
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: were staying on a place called Millionaires Row and it

333
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: was where all the millionaires back in the Victorian like

334
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: Heyday would live. And I was like fuck, and it's

335
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: definitely haunted. And I was like, fuck, it feels very

336
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: like someone's trying to get into my apartment. Like I

337
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: could hear them hitting like beep, trying to do the code.

338
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: Right next minute, all I can see is the door

339
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: handle being trying to be open. I'm like, oh my god,

340
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm about to get murdered. I might face on my boss,

341
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: might face, I might boss. Someone's at the door. Someone's

342
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: at the door, and I can just see the handle

343
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: going and I'm like, oh my god. And then finally,

344
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: after a couple of minutes, Lauren Lauren.

345
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: It's mom.

346
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: My name is Lauren, even though I get called Lola,

347
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god, mom washed, So I

348
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: open it. She comes in like a tornado out, like emotional, running,

349
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: like beside herself. The train's being canceled. I was like, okay,

350
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 2: calm down, sit down, what needs to happen. She's like,

351
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: I need a book a flight out. I need a

352
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: book a flight out. And I was like, okay, sit down,

353
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: you look a flight out. What do I need to do?

354
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: You need a call train and get and get a refund.

355
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm okay.

356
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: So it's fucking eleven thirty pm. I'm on the phone

357
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: to Ammarak or whatever the effing train company is called,

358
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: trying to get her a refund. Oh my goodness, the

359
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: Adventures of Wendy I tell you. Anyway, she got herself

360
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: a flight. She got a flight for the next morning.

361
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: We have to have another call with like the people

362
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: that she booked the train through, and her travel agent

363
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: will be across that. Anyway, Anyway, we got there, and

364
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: then what I did was I actually got a bus.

365
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: You can book this bougie bus service called von Lane

366
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: from Memphis to Nashville three and a half hours, beautiful,

367
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: like obviously acrossing like beautiful forest land, lots of rivers

368
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: and waters. I'm hoping one of them was Mississippi River

369
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 2: river because I obviously like that's where I was.

370
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: I was like, is this the Mississippi? Is this?

371
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: Anytime we covered a big body of water, I was like,

372
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: is this Mississippi. So I'm gonna have to do research

373
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: to see if I legit did cross the Mississippi River.

374
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: That is one thing I would have done if I

375
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: had more time in Memphis. I probably would have got

376
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: to see the Mississippi River and just chilled there and

377
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: you know, soap that up. But we definitely didn't have time,

378
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: and my trip was very much one of a musical

379
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: themed adventure. So then I got to Nashville at about

380
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: lunchtime and I straight away it was pit singing down

381
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: with rain like full torrential. So I straightway they drop

382
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: you at a hotel and I just walked up the

383
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: hotel concercution. I was like, Hey, I'm trying to find

384
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: the Johnny Cash Museum.

385
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: Where is it?

386
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Well, actually I started off I was going to go

387
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: to the country a country music Hall of Fame and

388
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: museum and I got there and I had a little

389
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: weely suitcase and I was like hey, and they're like,

390
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: you cannot come in with this. You've got to call

391
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: this number and they'll look after your suitcase for the day.

392
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like at a cost and they're like yeah,

393
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh f that. So I was like, Okay,

394
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna walk to concierge of the hotel where

395
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: I got dropped off and I'm just gonna ask them

396
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: to direct me to the Johnny Cash Museum, which I was,

397
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: to be honest, a bit more pumped for anyway. And

398
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: so I was like, can you tell me how to

399
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: get to Johnny Cash Museum. They're like, yes, here go

400
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, my house, please borrow an umbrella,

401
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: I promise or return it. And he was like, of course,

402
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: gets me an umbrella. And then then I start walking.

403
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: Has made me a map and everything, and he's like miss,

404
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: miss miss and I'm like yeah, and he's like let

405
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: me store your suitcase. I'm like you sure, and it's

406
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: like yes, please let me take your suitcase. So I

407
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: was like, oh my goodness, he just solved all of

408
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: my problems and not for a don't like I didn't

409
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: need to pay. I think they just presumed I was

410
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: stowing at the hotel anyway, so I was like, I'm

411
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: going to keep I'm still going to hire tailor to

412
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: Johnny Cash because that was kind of my priority. Anyway,

413
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: get there are amazing, like a five minute walk, not

414
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: even it was insane. The Johnny Cash Museum. If you

415
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: like Johnny Cash, you have to go. I know when

416
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: Boston I went to OHI last year, I think he

417
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: must have had a house out O High as well,

418
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of Johnny Cash memorability there and

419
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: I think we passed one of his houses because there's

420
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: like big sign up. Anyway, I digress. Johnny Cash Museum

421
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: is incredible. There's so it's like a much smaller version

422
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: than a regular museum. It's like probably five rooms. I

423
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: didn't know who was an actor and he had his

424
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: own talk show called the Johnny Cash Show, so it

425
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: was just like a celebration of his life. There's a

426
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: lot of stuff from his house there. The absolute kicker though,

427
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 2: when you leave, it's like this room all dedicated to

428
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: his cover of Hurt and Oh my Goodness, and like

429
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: the chair from the video clip the chairs there, they're

430
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: like the bronze of his head is there, and it's

431
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: all from that video clip, and that video clip hits

432
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: you in the heart to the point that I got

433
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: to the end of the tour was watching the hurt

434
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: video clip crying and I was like, oh my god,

435
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: I have to go read and like more positive part

436
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: of the tour so that I can walk out and

437
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: not be balling my eyes out. But incredible. If you

438
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: like Johnny Cash HUNGI Pete do that.

439
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Do that tour.

440
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: And it's just off Broadway, which is like the main

441
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: tourist drag of Nashville. And then I just had to

442
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: walk around Broadway for a bit because I was like,

443
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: this is like, you know, the Times Square of Nashville essentially,

444
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: and there's like music in the middle of day just

445
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: coming out of every bar, and there's like whiskey bars,

446
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: and there's everyone's wearing cowboy hats and cowboy boots. You

447
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: can buy cowboy hats, you can buy cowboy boots. And

448
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: I didn't get any of it because I was like, oh,

449
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: and this is something that I want to share with Boo,

450
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: with Bossachngo. But I did get a cool little souvenir

451
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: from the Johnny Cash Museum. I bought this cool Johnny

452
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Cash patch because Matt and I loved putting patches on

453
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: our jackets, so.

454
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: That was unreal.

455
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: And then I made my way back to the Country

456
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame and Museum and it was like by

457
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: this stage, it was three point thirty maybe three forty five,

458
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 2: and they're like, just want to be really honest with you.

459
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: This is shutting at five. And I was like, can

460
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: I do it?

461
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, we just need to let you

462
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: know though, and they're like, do Dolly Parton first.

463
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, So I go up.

464
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: It's like a two level museum and there's a special

465
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: Dolly Parton exhibition on right now. That was really cool,

466
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,159

Speaker 1: But it was.

497
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: And then the next so then you do all of that,

498
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: and then you go down to the next level and

499
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,840

Speaker 2: Music as well, and then for me, the highlight was

510
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: actually the last bit, which is the rotunder. I didn't

511
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: even know this exists, but basically it's this special sphere

512
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: that like the way sound sounds in it is like amazing,

513
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: but it's literally the Hall of Fame bit and that's

514
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: where there are.

515
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Like plaques of.

516
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: Anyone that's been inducted into the Country Music Hall of

517
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: Fame on the walls and like totally made a wish there.

518
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: There is a wishing well there as well, and it's

519
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: so beautiful and that feels very like magical and special,

520
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: and that's the end of the tour, at the end

521
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: of the museum, and that was effing cool. And then

522
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: I just quickly went to this place and was meant

523
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: to have famous chicken sandwiches, which is really chicken burgers,

524
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: let's be real, called Hattie Bees, and I got that

525
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: and then high tailed it to the airport and that

526
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: was my adventure. And then today I go back to work,

527
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: and then tomorrow is Juneteenth here, which is a massive

528
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: public holiday, and then you've got so this diary will

530
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: need to know that.

531
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: I don't know why I overshare.

532
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: And then Monday's episode will be a full blow black bloh,

533
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,560

535
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: how I got from A to B, Like just so

536
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: that if you decide to ever do that kind of

537
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: a trip, it's a good trip to do together, I

538
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: would say, because you're in Tennessee and so you're getting

539
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: to see a lot if you go to both places,

540
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: especially if you're doing kind of that for me was

541
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: like obviously very much a music culture trip, you know,

542
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 2: so I highly recommend, loved it, good amount of time.
