Today's guest has had eight number one musical hits in music.
00:01:10.680
And he is, you know, he's kind of that soft-spoken cherub.
00:01:16.380
You know, he's, you know, but his, the breadth of his work and his success is very loud.
00:01:25.300
He now has a band that he's, I think, providing the label for.
00:01:31.760
We're going to find out a little bit more about him.
00:01:35.920
He was, he grew up out in the central east of America.
00:02:12.000
It's just like the power is more like in people's hands, you know.
00:02:15.320
I mean, I saw, you know, you would put yourself out there, bro.
00:02:17.400
I see your early videos and it's like, damn, this dude, you know, it's brave of a guy just kind of like,
00:02:22.360
Like, I was up last night watching a couple of them and
00:02:24.580
You know, you got just, you're sitting in there and the lighting's behind, you know what I'm saying?
00:02:33.320
But it's kind of crazy to think that, but that that's the, like, it's interesting how you got to take that first step of like, it's almost like vulnerability kind of, you know, to put yourself in that space, you know?
00:02:46.860
Yeah, I mean, you got people coming at you from every which way.
00:02:49.500
Some people like you, some people don't like you.
00:02:52.480
I guess it kind of, you got to, it kind of made me figure out how to take some of the, I don't know how to say it.
00:03:01.120
Just, just get myself ready for the industry, basically.
00:03:04.340
Oh, you mean by putting yourself out there like that?
00:03:06.440
Because when I got here, you know, it was like there, I was by myself and now, you know, I have all this power behind me.
00:03:13.900
Yeah, that's a good point because I guess, yeah, with comments and stuff, I mean, it gets harsh if you get down in there.
00:03:25.580
Like, Theo looks like a guy that sells drugs at a Build-A-Bear, you know, just shit like that.
00:03:32.960
Like, things that's just like, do you ever have any, are there any that stood out in your mind?
00:03:39.660
Nah, a lot of them were just, especially when I was first getting into the scene, it was a lot of them that I would just say like, oh, this dude's a rapper.
00:03:49.720
It was like all that stuff, just going off my appearance.
00:03:53.560
Yeah, man, it's because you've, I mean, your rise has been like in the last two or three years, right?
00:04:00.840
I mean, like really blow, I mean, like, I knew you, but I mean, to really get to like a crazy level, like you're pretty famous now.
00:04:06.800
Yeah, it started the, probably last two or three years.
00:04:08.980
Like, you're like the Patrick Mahomes of country music now.
00:04:11.940
Everybody says I look like him or Dak Prescott.
00:04:15.780
I never, I just thought because you're kind of by, because you're mixed, you know, kind of that, I would think that, of Patrick Mahomes, but I didn't think of Dak.
00:04:26.960
Did, but that is crazy going to a level where it's like, now you're like, you have to hide and be famous.
00:04:33.520
It's like, you got to play hide and go seek, like kind of constantly a little bit.
00:04:42.040
And then now it's like, you know, when people stop trying to take pictures with you, that's when you need to worry.
00:04:47.980
You know, so now, right now it's just, you got to, you got to look at the positive and everything.
00:04:53.360
I mean, you know, I'm excited to be where I'm at and provide for my family.
00:04:58.600
You, what have you been doing during the pandemic?
00:05:06.680
Well, no, I mean, there's not really much to do.
00:05:12.060
No, I went hunting, like, three times, which, in my property, they come up to my back.
00:05:20.280
I could shoot them off my porch, which I feel bad, so.
00:05:23.000
Yeah, you could shoot them with a handgun, huh?
00:05:26.000
We actually just started building, like, a treehouse slash luxury blind.
00:05:32.340
So it's going to be cheating, but it's going to be pretty cool.
00:05:37.440
Like, I'm going tile floors and, you know, windows that will just open whenever.
00:05:42.920
I don't know if I'm going to push a button or use a rope, but.
00:05:47.440
If you do push button in a deer blind, that's going to be.
00:06:11.320
Yeah, I just won some serious money off the McGregor fight.
00:06:21.980
I mean, in my heart, you know, like, I felt like McGregor was going to win.
00:06:27.540
But I was, and my whole house was going for McGregor, so I was the only one.
00:06:37.180
And then when he started getting those couple licks in, my baby was asleep.
00:06:49.220
She was like, well, how would you put money on him?
00:06:50.840
And I was like, you got to go for the underdog.
00:06:54.380
Yeah, I got to, I was lucky enough to get to go talk with Dustin, because he's from Louisiana.
00:06:58.240
So to go talk with him right before the fight, before he went over to Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
00:07:08.620
I watched that corner pub, and I was swinging off the rafters.
00:07:13.100
I wasn't even in the fight, and I hurt my neck, but I had to get injections last week, man.
00:07:21.180
And did you see the guy before him, Michael Chandler?
00:07:28.200
But I actually ended up putting money on him, because I think he was the underdog as well.
00:08:01.300
It's like watching the Harry Potter of frickin'.
00:08:16.660
But it was kind of like, I think it was more of just entertainment.
00:08:27.060
I've only been watching for, let me see, maybe about three years.
00:08:34.000
I mean, they give it to you when you walk in, but I don't know.
00:08:43.300
Yeah, that's where it changes from the streets to the map, man.
00:08:47.500
It's been, for me to go, it's been fascinating, man.
00:08:52.520
I've got a boy that actually is a fighter right now.
00:08:57.700
I was thinking about trying to get my manager to manage him and, you know, try and get behind
00:09:05.840
It was like his second fight, but every other one's been a knockout.
00:09:09.820
And does he fight at, like, just regular spots?
00:09:11.760
Like, is it like, because I used to go watch boxers when I was coming up.
00:09:14.560
A friend of mine, this dude, Billy Conforto, in RIP, he died.
00:09:17.280
He drove into, like, the side of a bridge or something.
00:09:20.200
He was on pills, but he was, like, he was the first, first of all, first gay prizefighter
00:09:31.500
Knocking people out and then flirting with them while he was unconscious, you know what
00:09:36.600
But his whole family was prizefighters, so we would go watch, and we would go watch,
00:09:41.720
and it would be like in a, sometimes it would be like in a bar, sometimes it would be like
00:09:45.620
in a conference room at a Holiday Inn, like, it was just the most unique spots where the
00:09:50.400
You know, it wasn't like in, you know, arenas and stuff.
00:09:54.340
He does, I guess, like, like, people pay to go watch him, and he's on pay-per-view and
00:10:01.460
It's like the low bar, but they're actually, like, fighters.
00:10:05.540
Like, they have a ring, people come watch them.
00:10:10.700
I love watching that stuff, and it comes up on Facebook.
00:10:19.160
You know, they always got the freaking weirdest names.
00:10:20.760
They got the tallies on the wall, on the fence.
00:10:23.640
And somebody always usually gets knocked out pretty quick, I feel like.
00:10:28.820
Those fights remind me of Mortal Kombat, of almost the game Mortal Kombat, the way they
00:10:35.280
We used to do something like that in high school.
00:10:36.940
After we get out of high school, everybody would go to this guy named Frady's house, and
00:10:47.060
Yeah, it was like, you don't want to fight him.
00:10:49.280
But it was all kids from your high school, so it's like you knew who not to mess with.
00:10:54.100
You know, I used to go in the bathroom and just randomly start fighting.
00:11:02.120
We used to, when I went to this school in Arizona for one semester, I got kicked out
00:11:09.420
And I went to Arizona, and it was all, the kids there was all, my high school was predominantly
00:11:17.580
But they would go fight in the car wash after school.
00:11:20.760
Like for some reason, the car wash was like the place where people would fight, you know?
00:11:25.200
Yeah, in the car wash, right inside of it, yeah.
00:11:27.800
And the people, like the cars would have to stop, they would get all pissed, people would
00:11:30.860
be honking, and you would just have two dudes just in there throwing down.
00:11:34.000
Because I think you could come in from each side of it, so you knew when you won when
00:11:40.500
Like if you came out, yeah, like yeah, if you came out your side, then you lost, you
00:11:46.940
So it was kind of like a Mad Max, kind of, a little bit.
00:11:50.180
But, yeah, I love growing up, like in a rural area.
00:12:02.420
I mean, but like was it just kind of like not a ton of people, you know?
00:12:10.100
But the thing about where I'm from is it's like you got Fort O, like everyone's a rival.
00:12:19.100
But even like so all the Georgia schools around that area are rival, Georgia, Ringgold, Heritage.
00:12:29.780
Especially when there's like new, like Heritage when I was in high school was the new school.
00:12:35.780
And so their option was to beat everybody and everybody else's option was to beat them.
00:12:43.920
Sometimes it's just that high school, like just like the beef and the vibes that there
00:12:52.880
But it was like you had like somebody to like go against, you know?
00:12:56.720
Like we had like Salmon growing up was a high school and Chris Duhon played there.
00:13:03.100
He ended up playing at Duke and then went to, he played for the Bulls for a long time, a
00:13:08.140
But I remember like he would come and play our school and everybody would be so like against
00:13:14.580
And he would tell everybody to be quiet in the stands and then shoot and just hit it every
00:13:23.120
Growing up like in a rural area was pretty, it was fun, dude.
00:13:30.540
And so you would go, one time we went to this party and these guys were like had this house
00:13:35.540
And so you had to walk to get there and you had to walk through this field.
00:13:39.120
But they didn't tell anybody they'd put a electric fence in the middle of the field,
00:13:45.980
So people were just, you know, hoping for the best.
00:13:51.640
Just get those, we had some friends that would hold on to them.
00:13:59.780
It's like once you grab on, it was a cow fence.
00:14:03.860
I've held on, I got electrocuted at a carnival on the zipper ride one time pretty good.
00:14:14.000
On the way out, I touched like one thing and like two hand, like the rails, basically
00:14:18.680
what you're supposed to touch when you're leaving, bro.
00:14:20.440
But apparently you're not supposed to touch both of them, right?
00:14:29.040
And I literally couldn't say anything, bro, because I was getting electrocuted, you know?
00:14:36.300
And literally, I remember he put his foot in my back and just kicked me off the ride.
00:14:42.240
My situation, I held on for about five seconds and I couldn't let go.
00:14:46.220
And then next thing I know, it just threw me back.
00:14:50.240
That should be a, I feel like that should be a new game.
00:14:57.280
It's this guy from another country or something, bro.
00:15:02.400
He holds, he's like, this one guy goes and touches the fence and he's like, oh, dude,
00:15:16.300
So he goes and touches the fence and he's like, whoo.
00:15:19.200
And then afterwards, he's like, I'm going to do it again.
00:15:24.860
And he tells his friend, he's like, you got to do this.
00:15:26.560
And then he goes back and he just holds on to it.
00:15:34.100
I wonder if that would be like a new sport, you know.
00:15:38.580
And he's a, he's like one of the number one bull riders in the world, right?
00:15:42.640
I mean, this kid is, I think he's probably 23, 24 maybe.
00:15:49.200
His body's kind of, he's the perfect height where his, like where you bend is right in
00:15:54.980
So that's kind of perfect for bull riding because it's like you kind of, you know,
00:15:59.580
But I wonder if PBR could do like a sport where it was just like electric fence riding,
00:16:05.440
you know, like just locking in and staying as long as you could.
00:16:11.920
Because they're always kind of coming up with something new, you know.
00:16:23.320
It's like, I ain't seen it in forever, but it was like a huge thing back in the day.
00:16:37.720
So, what is it, you start with the ball at home plate and you got to run the first base kind of thing?
00:16:42.080
Man, it's been so long since I watched it, but that was, I mean, it would be a cool sport.
00:16:52.660
Well, you know, they had XFL or arena football was trying to be big right before COVID, remember,
00:17:12.280
I remember they were, suspends operations is the league finished.
00:17:36.920
They spent all that money to build the hype and everything, and then that was it, man.
00:17:44.780
We got a question that came in from a viewer right here, man.
00:18:03.540
How does it feel to be a trailblazer in your industry, right?
00:18:11.500
Not a whole lot of brothers in the country music space, you know, but I think you've done
00:18:18.960
I know you kind of talk about it all the time, but what's it like being, you know, a Southern
00:18:24.060
brother, a Southern man, Southern gentleman in Hollywood?
00:18:32.060
You know, there's a lot of stereotypes on both accounts.
00:18:41.360
I don't feel, I don't feel, I just feel like Hollywood kind of forgot.
00:18:45.660
I feel like sometimes, this is just my perception also.
00:18:51.000
I just feel like sometimes Hollywood forgets that there's a lot of talent, that everybody
00:19:00.120
from the South isn't like a racist person or isn't a bad person or isn't narrow minded
00:19:07.040
I think that they, you know, when I was growing up, they just had shows that there was a little
00:19:10.800
bit more, I feel like diversity of, of where people were from, you know?
00:19:17.360
And then I think they started to get, it just started to get a little bit narrow.
00:19:24.800
But I think that that also provides a lot of opportunities for people to start their
00:19:29.500
own platforms and also for cities like Nashville who still, who have like a real confluence
00:19:35.700
There's a good Southern vibe here, but there's a lot of people from all over here.
00:19:39.760
So for, I feel like, you know, for me, I feel like, I did feel like a lot of,
00:19:47.120
everybody thought I was just a redneck, you know, nobody gave me a chance to kind of get
00:19:53.780
But I think it also kept a chip on my shoulder that made me want to keep trying harder and
00:20:00.380
also made me have to be creative and made me have to kind of prove myself a little bit,
00:20:06.560
And if I'm, you know, and some of that could have been on my own head too, like, I think
00:20:11.960
they hate me, that kind of shit, that Eminem type of shit, you know, where you're just
00:20:15.040
running around fucking eating spaghetti, you know, and fucking angry at everybody,
00:20:18.880
Like, some of that could have been also in my head, but sometimes you need something
00:20:26.700
But I don't, I don't know if I feel, I'm just, as a country music listener, I don't
00:20:33.360
know if I feel like there's a lot of, like, vitriol towards black or any type of entertainer
00:20:40.140
that's different in country music, but there may be, you may have a different experience.
00:20:44.360
No, for me, man, it was like, you know, that, when I first came in, that's what I was kind
00:20:48.140
of nervous about, and, you know, I did get a couple racial slurs here and there, but my
00:20:55.140
fans is what accepted me, and they pushed me to where I'm at now.
00:20:59.320
So, in my head, I was just like, you know, as long as they're behind me, and then I got
00:21:04.240
country radio behind me, it's like, I quit thinking about anything, and, you know, I just
00:21:08.460
kind of do me, and just have fun with it, you know?
00:21:14.940
Yeah, and also, look, if a black dude calls you the same word, it's pretty cool.
00:21:17.560
I think that's cool, you know what I'm saying, bro?
00:21:19.060
Like, I got called, like, a week ago, you know, and I honestly, I was pretty excited,
00:21:22.880
but this liquid death is really keeping my mind fresh, and my body fresh and washed out.
00:21:33.180

We just got a ton of videos we put out for people to send in questions.
00:24:12.520
Man, I do Almond Brothers, man, they really, sometimes they get me, especially if it's in the summer, man.
00:24:23.360
I've been out on a boat or something, and I'm wet, and I'm cold.
00:24:26.140
I'm waiting for somebody to bring me a towel, bro.
00:24:27.880
The only thing that makes me feel okay, bro, is hearing the Almond Brothers.
00:24:32.200
But I'm a huge John Mayer fan, so the fact that he goes in with the Grateful Dead and knows so much about them, and when he goes on tour with them, he plays second fiddle.
00:24:44.500
He's just like the background element, and it's pretty powerful to see him do that.
00:24:49.840
But I think just growing up, like that song, Melissa, that one always gets me.
00:25:03.320
Let me think about what I'm going to ask you next.
00:25:07.260
What, when you were growing up, do you remember your first kiss when you were growing up?
00:25:24.120
And I was like seven years old, and she was like 13.
00:25:46.460
So I remember my first kiss was, they had this girl named Chrissy was her name, right?
00:25:52.800
And we live in like a fourplex, like four apartments.
00:25:57.180
Her brother was always flirting with me too, honestly, bro, if I'm real honest, bro.
00:26:00.360
But, but she, she had like a little bit of like a, she had like a overbite and I had
00:26:07.600
So I'm thinking in my head, we supposed to be together.
00:26:11.680
Like we got to make the world complete, you know, because we meet each other's missing
00:26:21.580
I invited her over to see my pillow in my room, bro.
00:26:24.100
Like I, I was just trying to think of anything.
00:26:27.240
So I was like, oh, you got to come see my pillow.
00:26:29.580
And so she came into my room and then we like kissed really fast.
00:26:32.640
And then her mom used to drive this like kind of toothpaste colored Corvette.
00:26:40.620
And the mom would sit in the car with her sunglasses on when she was too drunk and wouldn't
00:26:43.920
even drive and just play the radio and just like do cigarettes out the window, bro.
00:26:48.420
And the mom made us kiss again in front of her, which freaking blew my mind, bro.
00:26:56.740
Mine was like a, you know, everybody's first kiss was like a.
00:27:04.200
I don't even think I talked to her again after that.
00:27:11.840
Some of it's just so much of like, I think people have been trying to get us to kiss each
00:27:17.300
And so it felt like this thing, you know, but what was it like?
00:27:26.820
It was honestly probably the best time of my life.
00:27:28.840
You know, I got, I got caught smoking cigarettes.
00:27:47.220
I don't think you'll ever be the same after that.
00:27:52.200
And then like, I remember, and it's, it sucked at the moment, but now just looking back, it
00:27:57.320
I remember having to go and pick my own like hickory switch.
00:28:00.780
And I picked, I picked like the smallest one, which hurt the worst, honestly.
00:28:04.720
And then I'd go back and she'd be like, this is too small.
00:28:09.420
But the sad part was, is every time I went to go get this, it was all, it was in poison
00:28:16.100
So I would get a whip in and then I would come back, I would have poison ivy afterwards.
00:28:31.200
She had four kids and my mom raised us, you know, and so she had four kids.
00:28:38.760
So it was not good because mom could hit everybody from the front seat.
00:28:47.760
I don't even know how we all got in there, but I felt like the cops sometimes would pull
00:28:51.500
us over because it just looked like something was wrong.
00:28:53.820
Cause you had too many people in the car, like you were up against the window, but my mom
00:28:57.840
could beat everybody just with her own arm dexterity from that driver's seat, like drums,
00:29:07.080
And she would, uh, what else would my mom do, dude?
00:29:10.640
That was really, we didn't have anything like that.
00:29:29.320
She's a, so she's like, I don't really see her anymore.
00:29:33.040
So it's, uh, my, my, I have a half brother and it's his dad's mom.
00:29:39.020
I think it's actually his dad's, like his, his dad married her.
00:29:53.820
Uh, my actual, my Nana Kathy is the one that raised me, uh, which is my mom's mom.
00:30:02.300
I, my, my family tree is like so confusing because I have so many papaws and mamaws and
00:30:08.880
It's like my wife's tried to keep up and she's like, I'm lost.
00:30:13.460
And I bet they pop even more out of the woodwork now.
00:31:03.020
If you could name three other bands or artists to go on a dream tour with, who would they be?
00:31:08.360
And, uh, what order would y'all play in each night?
00:31:18.720
That's tough, because he also said, what order y'all gonna play in, bro?
00:31:22.820
It's, that's one of the things we always talked about.
00:31:24.720
It's like, you know, me and, me and Al Dean want to go in, you know, together and tour again.
00:31:31.600
People get stuck in the mud just in y'all's voices, bro.
00:31:36.660
It's like, I wanted to go back out with him, but now it's like, he's got, you know, triple
00:31:45.520
But if we play like a 12,000 seat venue, it's like, we can both sell that out.
00:31:53.080
I mean, obviously, I mean, I look at it as Al Dean would have to be the headliner.
00:32:04.220
It doesn't sound like it when you're talking about that, because you guys, it sounds like
00:32:09.160
Agents kind of get into it sometimes, you know?
00:32:15.280
Um, the agent is a big thing, but I don't know.
00:32:19.940
I mean, like, I feel like if I went out with Jason, we would have to end up doing stadiums.
00:32:24.640
And then we would have to get another big artist as well to come out and, you know, be with
00:32:31.300
Well, you almost answered this dude's question, bro.
00:32:33.760
You know, if you pick Boosie Badass, dog, I'm freaking in it, bro.
00:32:45.700
I mean, I, you know, I got a couple pop songs and it's cool dipping my toes in the water every
00:32:49.460
now and then and it's, um, but I feel like if, you know, if, if I had to pick somebody
00:32:54.960
like my guy Khalid, you know, I would love to bring him in, but it's like.
00:32:58.140
Yeah, I saw him in that new video you guys did with Sway Lee.
00:33:01.020
He's from Mississippi, uh, him and, um, Ray Shremert is.
00:33:11.700
He gets more vibey every time you see him in a video.
00:33:19.380
You can't even, it's just, everything is just, he just keeps evolving.
00:33:23.860
Like by the end, like Lil Wayne looks like a Christmas tree now when you look at him.
00:33:30.940
But, uh, Khalid, dude, he's just got, he's just so chill and laid back.
00:33:34.760
Like, I remember we were doing that music video, Be Like That, and he, he don't move out of a foot box.
00:33:42.920
But like whenever he's, his moves that he's doing, he did this one thing I was so jealous of.
00:33:48.300
Cause, uh, he says don't cry in the song and he was just vibing and he just did this.
00:33:53.580
And I was like, how did you make that look so cool, bro?
00:33:57.700
And so that's like, every time I sing him now, I'm just like.
00:34:08.100
I think that's one thing going back to Conor McGregor.
00:34:13.700
Yeah, he's got the walk and he just, it's like a confidence at another level, you know?
00:34:18.860
I always felt that way growing up around, even mostly like black guys.
00:34:21.660
Like our neighborhood was black and white, but the black guys always, I don't know, they
00:34:26.080
just had a different level of comfort with what they did.
00:34:30.040
Like, I always felt like my, like if, if I'm making a move, I'm thinking about it first,
00:34:34.800
But the black guys always just seemed like just, it was like they were just like living
00:34:40.480
It just seemed like, and I'm out here, I'm fucking just kind of hanging on the bank, you
00:34:44.720
I think I was always envious of like, I think it's one of the reasons why a lot of people
00:34:47.780
get envious of black culture is this, you know, a lot of black guys seem so confident,
00:34:52.700
But I saw that video, I saw that video actually, and I thought it was awesome.
00:35:01.240
So at least you said already that Jason Aldean could go last.
00:35:07.460
And, and so yeah, who would be that third on there?
00:35:13.060
Man, honestly, I would love to do, I mean, I would love to tour with anybody really, but
00:35:20.900
I feel like just with quarantine, my, my, my three, me included would be like me, Jason
00:35:29.220
Yeah, just because me and John's got really close, he's like my neighbor.
00:35:32.920
Is he really, his wife's supposed to cut my hair actually?
00:35:36.860
He just invited, I saw him at Kid Rock's birthday party and he invited me.
00:35:39.520
Hey, if you need another, if you need a barber, just let me know.
00:35:43.900
No, don't get it, you don't have to get the fade, but you can fade this right here.
00:35:49.600
Well, I'm not saying you can do it better, but I'm just saying if you faded this and then left
00:35:56.800
I've been doing, I've been seeing this little lady over here that cuts it and she's good,
00:36:02.200
But yeah, John said his wife was there too and she's really, I said, you better be there
00:36:09.640
John's actually waiting for my barber to come back in town.
00:36:12.460
Yeah, he got his hair cut by him in Gatlinburg.
00:36:14.780
Well, then that's strange because his wife cuts hair.
00:36:16.880
So why are you telling me to go to your wife, John, if you've seen another barber, dog?
00:36:21.020
If you ain't even getting your hair cut in your own house, that's ice cold, man.
00:36:25.520
Well, he still gets his hair cut, but they've been asking when CT was coming back.
00:36:45.840
State, do you think like you're at a level, man?
00:36:48.800
You go to a ring, I mean, you can do, yeah, doing those level of tickets.
00:36:53.480
Once you get bigger, it's like, you know, you got to package it up.
00:36:58.340
It has to make sense to the agents when it's all makes sense, or otherwise you're taking
00:37:07.320
So, like, the thing for the artists is, especially when you've been doing it for years, like,
00:37:12.200
I was excited, which I was out with FGL, so it was a good tour to be on for the first
00:37:17.000
But when you're an artist, you're also with these people all the time, so you want it
00:37:23.080
You don't want to be the people that just go on the bus and they don't talk to you, or
00:37:28.120
So, but for me, it's hard to go out with somebody that I enjoy their company and hanging out
00:37:41.780
Yeah, I got invited in a movie last year, and I went there, and just the hang was not
00:37:51.340
So, luckily, I was able to get out of it, but man, I was like, dude, there's just no
00:37:59.320
Well, it just, I would have gotten into such like a downward space, you know?
00:38:04.460
And comedian, you just, well, at least you get to bring like your opener and somebody
00:38:08.340
But I just do theaters, but I think I'm, I don't know if I'd ever want to do diff anything
00:38:16.140
And I don't know if, you know, if God would ever even have me doing that, you know, if
00:38:19.580
I don't know if that's in my future, but I like theaters because it's at least still
00:38:23.700
for comedians, it's still kind of personal enough because you're just talking, you know?
00:38:28.820
Whereas music, I mean, you get everybody rocking.
00:38:30.840
I don't know if it matters if they're in a small space or a big space.
00:38:35.480
Um, you know, for a while I was excited to just, you know, be playing.
00:38:40.200
But once I put my foot in the arena, it was like, well, cause you hear like just this different
00:38:53.360
So it's kind of like you're still playing in, you know, just a regular bar.
00:38:57.620
But then after that first couple rows, it's black.
00:39:02.520
So it's like, you can just have the time of your life on stage.
00:39:05.900
You ain't got to make eye contact with anybody.
00:39:09.860
And then when you just, when you hear the roar, it just amps you up even more and it's
00:39:16.980
Cause I, I, I, I never thought about it like that.
00:39:19.200
Like I'll play, like, I think I maybe played 2,500 in Melbourne in Australia.
00:39:24.180
I think that was maybe like the biggest amount that I did last time, but I could only see
00:39:29.640
the front, but I always think like, shit, I'm scared cause I, I don't know where I'm
00:39:33.860
supposed to be looking for these people in the distance, you know?
00:39:38.660
So I'll be like yelling like it's a big room and then the lights will come on at the end
00:39:41.980
and it's like, they just got them kind of packed in.
00:39:46.000
So, but maybe that's a better take to just perform for the people in the front, you know?
00:39:51.860
I mean, if they're laughing, everybody else will be laughing.
00:39:54.520
It takes one person to laugh to make everybody else laugh.
00:39:58.440
And I, yeah, I never thought I just, I always feel like I'm just like kind of yelling into
00:40:03.940
Cause I think I'm focusing on the abyss instead of focusing just on the people in the front.
00:40:08.740
Do you, have you ever been to a comedy show or no?
00:40:12.360
I was trying to go to Kevin Hart, but he sold out for the next eight years.
00:40:18.300
You know, uh, but have you, have you ever heard of, uh, Ben DeDon?
00:40:48.640
Man, maybe we'll have him on a podcast next time I'm out there.
00:41:01.900
He'll, he'll come out on the road with me every now and then.
00:41:13.700
Some of those little moves that he does and stuff.
00:41:18.200
Because you gotta think, these guys didn't have Instagram.
00:41:21.720
So the only way to go see him was just, you had to go to the club to see him, you know?
00:41:26.300
It used to be like a different vibe, I feel like.
00:41:35.220
He said he went to Shaq's kid's birthday party and he was like, he was like seven years old
00:41:39.460
and he said this, he said this baby came out and was like, or he looked at the baby and
00:42:10.800
He's the only black dude with a mullet too, bro.
00:42:17.840
This motherfucker got enough money to be whatever the fuck he want to be his whole life.
00:42:30.140
You can't even go undercover and just do you have no drugs?
00:42:37.120
You a dumb motherfucker if you let Shaq pull you out the car.
00:42:47.840
You want that nigga not to shoot you, you got to dress up like a basket.
00:43:08.520
She done had five of this nigga's gargantuan dinosaur-ass babies.
00:43:15.500
Shaq's babies be three and a half years old when they come out.
00:43:27.520
That nigga invite me to his son's fourth birthday party.
00:43:30.480
Me and his goddamn babies look at each other eye to eye and shit.
00:43:57.660
Have you ever had a comedian open up for you or no?
00:44:01.500
There's a guy, Jim Brewer, who's coming on later this week.
00:44:25.960
Because I got so many kids, and then they go all the way up to 60.
00:44:32.020
So I couldn't imagine a comedian being out there.
00:44:37.740
Yeah, you need a specifically zoned, age-zoned audience.
00:44:50.340
I usually, my rituals kind of bring like one or two up on stage.
00:45:08.060
Yeah, like if you're picking somebody out of the audience, do you tell a guy?
00:45:13.180
Uh, sometimes if they're close enough, I'll just pick them up.
00:45:15.700
But sometimes the rail's like five feet back so nobody can climb on stage.
00:45:18.500
So I usually get my security guard to go grab them and bring them up.
00:45:29.240
If I'm, I think if I'm so young, I would have no idea what's going on.
00:45:33.040
But if I'm like 11, I think I would be, I'd be nervous if I was 11.
00:45:38.060
Yeah, well, they get up there and most of them's front row.
00:45:44.500
So when they do get up there, they're like, you know, that's when they kind of just, you
00:45:52.100
It's always fun though, especially when they break out.
00:45:54.640
I had this girl in there, I think she was like 12 or 13.
00:45:58.220
She started breaking out and just started dancing.
00:46:05.160
You know, there's something about when things happen that are just impromptu.
00:46:08.380
It creates like this different vibe in people where they can feel that it's just like absolutely
00:46:15.520
Like even outside of music or comedy or anything, like there's the moment to the show that people
00:46:20.160
But when something happens, it's like, it's crazy how the cheers then go to another level.
00:46:25.560
There's just something people love about things being like live.
00:46:30.200
You know, all these people, a lot of times, they'll script or, you know, do things like
00:46:37.800
It's like, as long as I know my lyrics and as long as I know what I'm about, like, supposed
00:46:41.820
to come in and what I'm supposed to do, I just do my thing.
00:46:50.780
I should probably, you know, buy a chimp and bring it out.
00:47:03.740
I could see you guys do something together, man.
00:47:13.720
I mean, I don't, I mean, I just noticed, I've hung out with him a couple times and I
00:47:21.260
Because I'll call him Bieber and I'm like, fuck.
00:47:23.340
I'm thinking, I'm like, he's a child, you know?
00:47:27.940
But, here's a question right here we got from a young fellow right here.
00:47:54.400
You could build a Hawaiian damn Clarksville if you wanted to.
00:47:58.000
Yeah, man, I'm very, I'm a very, like, homebody type of person.
00:48:04.280
So, like, you know, a lot of people are buying beach houses and all this.
00:48:08.740
I'm putting all my money into my one house that I have.
00:48:12.460
You know, just, you know, kind of invested in myself like that.
00:48:20.800
And now as I'm getting older and especially this year, I don't know if you've been on the stock game since the game stop and everything like that.
00:48:28.820
It's making me reconsider everything, you know, and try to, you know, invest and put my money elsewhere.
00:48:34.240
And then if I ever become an 800 millionaire, you know, then I might just start splurging and doing whatever.
00:48:51.520
Or I'll go out with, you know, somebody else's boat.
00:48:54.920
You know what's the best about going out with somebody's boat?
00:48:56.780
When you get back to the dock, you just go home.
00:48:59.060
They're over there emptying shit, like, you know, like throwing away Coke, empty Coke cans, bro.
00:49:34.080
I went in at a penny and almost two cents, and that night it jumped to nine cents, and
00:49:49.920
It's not going to go up any higher, so that was good.
00:49:58.320
Now, it's all getting too much, like the AMC, the GameStop.
00:50:02.080
It's all just everybody knows about it now, naked juices, all of this shit.
00:50:11.120
He convinced me to give him my Ameritrade passwords, right?
00:50:13.920
So, that dude now just does my stocks, bro, like this dude, right?
00:50:30.420
I wake up to pee, and I check my phone, and I shouldn't, bro, but I do, bro, and it's the
00:50:36.160
So, I check my phone, and he messages, like, hey, hit me up, call me.
00:50:42.420
So, I'll give you my Ameritrade passwords, but I ain't taking a fucking verbal call, dog.
00:50:49.120
So, anyway, this dude, he's like, so we start messaging.
00:50:58.180
We're up 20, two hours later, we're up 21,000, right?
00:51:12.680
The problem was, right when we started to sell, the Ameritrade closed it down, closed
00:51:22.440
So, not only did I not make the 21, that was all gone.
00:51:27.460
Then I tried to get back in the other day, and I lost another $2,000.
00:51:32.080
I was trying to sell today, and it wouldn't let me.
00:51:37.560
Sometimes, yeah, I guess sometimes there's a way to look at it like that.
00:51:42.380
So, we do a lot for single moms on this show, right?
00:51:44.500
So, that's just something we've done over the years.
00:51:48.240
So, we wanted to just surprise a mom today and just call her.
00:51:50.960
We're making an initiative this year to donate $20,000 to single moms.
00:51:58.140
It's not a big thing, but, dude, if somebody would have called my mom and gave her $500,
00:52:04.340
To see my mom get a new dress or just be able to get her hair done, do something for herself.
00:52:12.820
Oh, dude, I remember my mom finally got a Dodge Neon, bro.
00:52:18.240
Dude, the first three nights we had it, me and my brother slept in it, bro.
00:52:24.000
We stayed out there and slept in that bitch, dude.
00:52:34.020
What kind of, what whip did y'all have growing up?
00:52:51.760
That was mom's car with those circle freaking, uh, with those circle front lights.
00:53:22.520
And so, the back window is like a little rectangle.
00:53:25.540
I remember it got smashed one time, and we, so we kept it together with duct tape.
00:53:32.560
And I was, I was young, and I just, I just kept looking at this smashed window, and my
00:53:38.000
mom went in the grocery store one day, and I just like, I had this book in my hand, and
00:53:42.320
I remember I just like slowly kept hitting it harder and harder, and then eventually it
00:53:46.680
just all crumbled into pieces and went in the back seat.
00:53:52.820
And I was like, maybe somebody was trying to break in.
00:53:55.340
And I was like, I wasn't here, you know what I mean?
00:53:59.300
I remember we had it, the top of it was falling down on the cloth, so we had tacks.
00:54:08.380
My dad's car was like that, but he wouldn't do the tacks, man.
00:54:14.440
So, by the time I got to know him, like when I'm seven or eight years old, he's 77, 78.
00:54:19.780
So, he would drive, but his shit was falling in, bro, but he never thought to get the
00:54:23.060
tacks, so he was literally just pushing it up out of his eyes, bro.
00:54:26.240
Rolling the windows down so the air picks it up.
00:54:33.900
So, he would ask me, bro, I'm fucking seven, dog.
00:54:37.220
I'm sitting there on the seat, sometimes on my knees, sometimes standing on the seat.
00:54:40.420
You know, just being a kid, he would be like, can I go, you know?
00:54:49.560
Yeah, the end of that car, man, we were at the KOA.
00:54:58.720
And this lady comes out, and she's like, hey, your car's smoking.
00:55:09.360
So, and then five minutes later, it's completely in flames, bro.
00:55:24.880
It's almost like in those old Roman shows when people just, like, they'll fire an arrow.
00:55:30.620
They push them out into the lake, and they fire the arrow and just, like, send it up in flames, you know?
00:55:43.240
She's a single mom, nominated by your sister Jennifer.
00:55:45.580
She's got a 10-year-old daughter named Madison.
00:55:50.480
Yeah, and before we do that, actually, I know you have a new band.
00:55:52.920
So, are you managing the group now, or what's going on?
00:55:56.120
So, it's kind of a cool story for us, especially if they break, which I'm going to do everything I can, too,
00:56:09.360
So, when I was on X Factor, I went solo, and they tried to put me in a boy group, and I said no,
00:56:25.340
So, this was the boy group you were supposed to be in?
00:56:27.820
They ended up coming in fourth on the show, and ended up signing them, and now they're
00:56:35.580
But what's even crazier is they knew my wife before.
00:56:38.400
I knew my wife, because after the show, they ended up getting signed by her manager, because
00:56:45.820
So, they ended up getting signed by her manager, and then they all met, and then I met my wife,
00:56:52.380
and then I told her I signed Restless Road, and she's like, what?
00:56:55.720
So, it was just like a full circle moment, man.
00:56:58.340
You know it, and I know it, and it is wintertime.
00:57:07.860
If you look on the calendar, boy, you can't even, these pages, it's thick.
00:57:13.640
If you, this is the coldest part of a calendar.
00:57:15.860

Thank you for making our bodies do good with hair.
00:58:26.100
I just wanted to call and chat with you about something.
00:58:39.480
Yeah, so I'm going to call you back on FaceTime, and just put your phone sideways, too.
00:58:55.480
So, yeah, so we just, I work as a podcaster, so we just do a show, and I was raised by
00:59:02.060
a single mom, and I'm sitting here today with Kane Brown.
00:59:04.300
He's a musician, and he was raised by a single mom and his grandmother, or his nana, sorry.
00:59:15.320
Yeah, so anyway, we know that you're a single mom, and we just try to do something all the
00:59:18.560
time to do something sweet, so we just wanted to send you $1,000 to do something fun for
00:59:27.540
We just thought it would be just something nice to do.
01:00:07.780
She's got a good little mixture of tomboy and girly features.
01:00:20.880
Well, what's something fun you guys would go do?
01:00:26.580
I own a Jeep, so we drive around in our Jeep quite a bit.
01:00:31.960
Go off-roading every once in a while, but just driving around in the Jeep is something that
01:00:51.920
We've recently wanted to go on vacation, but unable to.
01:01:16.560
Yeah, we didn't mean to put you on blast either.
01:01:20.660
Like, I remember my mom growing up, like, if somebody would just come out the blue and
01:01:24.660
just done something just to offer her just a little, you know, just something nice where
01:01:30.240
And, man, it would have been, man, it would have just made me feel good as a kid to see
01:01:36.640
And it would have just been a little bit easier on my mom.
01:01:46.180
Well, look, you could put a lot of gas in that Jeep with 2G, so there you go.
01:01:51.260
Well, look, we don't want to mess you up on your lunch break or anything, but, yeah, we
01:01:56.120
just wanted to say thanks for being a hard-working single mom.
01:02:01.780
Yeah, I think your sister nominated you because she listens to this podcast.
01:02:05.380
And, yeah, we've just been trying to be a part of single mom's lives for a while, and
01:02:10.600
so we're just nice to meet you, and I look forward to meeting you in person when I come
01:02:29.840
Damn, I didn't know he was going to come over here and have to spend a G, bro, but there
01:02:37.600
So, well, also, we'll have to get her tickets to Restless Road then, bro.
01:02:42.680
Well, they'll be on tour with me, so we'll just-
01:02:44.800
Yeah, so we'll just have to send her some tickets.
01:02:50.400
Did they reach out to you when you decided to sign them, or how did that kind of go down?
01:02:54.140
No, so, Zach and Garrett were kind of doing their own thing, and Colton kind of split
01:03:01.980
So, Colton covered one of my songs, and we were talking about getting a label, and I
01:03:06.240
was like, I think I'm going to go with Colton, because I had a, you know, a pass with him
01:03:10.200
and whatever, and he was the one I was closest with in the band at the time.
01:03:13.380
Um, so, he decided he wanted to get back in with Restless Road, so we had a meeting, they
01:03:19.860
brought everybody in, and they started showing me their music, um, and they're just, they're
01:03:29.340
And, it's just something different to bring to country music.
01:03:36.440
Well, that goes back even to our first question, man.
01:03:38.380
It's just about being different and doing different things in the space, man, you know?
01:03:42.000
And, it's interesting, when you come from a place that's even just a little bit different,
01:03:45.360
whether it's part of your history, or, uh, you know, where your parents are from, or where
01:03:51.720
So, like, being a little different always kind of sticks with you, I think, you know?
01:03:56.320
And so, it's interesting to see that it's kind of transposing itself into, um, into you
01:04:00.500
recognizing difference, you know, in what could be unique for, for the genre, you know?
01:04:06.000
Um, let's check, let's check in with these cats, bro.
01:04:20.240
Garrett's, uh, medium, and then Colton's, like, super West Virginia boy.
01:04:39.300
Look, we were just, he was just describing y'all's body types, you know what I'm saying?
01:04:49.320
Garrett's medium, and then what was I, just the West Virginia boy?
01:04:53.280
I was trying to, like, explain y'all's voices, like, because yours, like, I said Zach was
01:04:58.160
low, like, he's got a low voice, and then y'all, y'all both are, like, completely different
01:05:08.380
I was like, you know, you got the, you're like super West Virginia accent when you sing,
01:05:12.760
and then, but Garrett was at, you know, Kingsley's birthday party and was singing that rock song,
01:05:19.180
but he can also sing, you know, country, so I was just like, he's medium.
01:05:24.780
But I'm gonna ask this, and so say you guys are trapped in a, it's like a windstorm, right?
01:05:31.680
The trailer fell over, but the bus driver was drunk.
01:05:42.200
One of y'all has to yell for help, bruh, upwind.
01:05:53.980
There you go, that AAA bad boy with that AAA throat, bruh, that roadside assistance right
01:06:00.420
So you guys, have you guys gotten a tour, have you guys gotten a tour with Cain yet?
01:06:09.300
They got, they got to put their toes in the water.
01:06:12.300
Yeah, we, we actually went out, I think it was three weekends.
01:06:17.760
So it was like, you know, it was really, really fun and cool.
01:06:20.880
And we got like, just, just, just in there and then COVID hit.
01:06:24.140
So it was, it was great while it lasted though.
01:06:27.240
So you guys are praying this vaccine or whatever happens, happens fast, huh?
01:06:33.200
You know, it's one of those things, like, I think honestly, it kind of made us like feel
01:06:37.300
like even, even more wanting to get back out there.
01:06:40.320
Like this time that we've had to kind of settle back in and like get creative.
01:06:43.800
I think it's made us like more hungry to like get back on the road.
01:06:47.160
I think it could be looked at as maybe a good thing.
01:06:51.500
I didn't even know that you guys, that you were on this TV show.
01:06:53.500
So you met on the game show, the contest, the music contest, right?
01:07:05.440
But were you guys bummed out when he didn't want to do the band?
01:07:12.120
Well, we actually didn't know that, you know, we got put in the group and King wasn't in
01:07:17.680
And we actually didn't know that he was meant to be in it until later on.
01:07:22.020
And he kind of told us like, you know, I was actually going to be a part of it and
01:07:26.540
And I was like, well, at the time, he was like at the top of the charts.
01:07:31.060
And we were like, well, damn, man, you chose probably the right thing to do.
01:07:42.260
You know, we were just like, you know, all in Kane's truck the other day, listening to
01:07:45.660
this new song we just put out and it was just really cool.
01:07:50.160
I was just like, I can't believe eight years later, like here we all are all together working
01:07:54.240
on this music together and we all get to be a part of it.
01:07:57.660
And we keep saying, you know, our catchphrase is how full circle this all is.
01:08:05.800
You know, it's interesting how if you, yeah, it's so hard to realize at the moment that
01:08:10.700
there's a bigger picture going on that you can't see.
01:08:13.700
It's so hard to realize that like so many things feel like defeats in our lives or it
01:08:19.400
feels like, man, it's supposed to happen right now.
01:08:22.220
And then it doesn't happen for eight years, for 10 years, for 12 years.
01:08:25.820
And that's when it's really supposed to happen.
01:08:37.640
You know, my gut wants that, you know, you want it now.
01:08:40.180
And you want to be angry that it's not happening.
01:08:42.280
But, you know, to see you guys, you know, really take this restless road, honestly,
01:08:46.320
I mean, you know, not to freaking, you know, sound like as cliche as anybody ever could.
01:08:55.020
Is it like kind of like the Beatles but stuck in the woods?
01:09:02.800
And I think one thing that's cool about our group is, you know, we're really focused on harmonies.
01:09:07.360
But also we each, like Kane was saying, have these different voices.
01:09:10.640
And we try to feature everyone's voice in each song.
01:09:13.960
And I don't really think there's a lot of bands that do that and showcase different vocalists.
01:09:18.640
And we each have a different style and we each have a different story and a background.
01:09:22.240
So it's really cool when all those things come together in the songs that we write.
01:09:25.980
Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's a lot of, like, truettes or something.
01:09:34.560
I'm trying to think of how a trio, if they have a lot of, I guess they've had, like, Rascal Flats, Dixie Chicks.
01:09:41.560
And the thing with them is they don't, yeah, they don't all sing.
01:09:46.260
And it's something that for years, you know, ever since this band started, that people have always told us,
01:09:56.580
And it really wasn't until we started working with Kane and we felt like we got this whole clean slate, this do-over.
01:10:02.560
And we were like, we're going to finally do this the way we want to do it.
01:10:05.580
Sing the songs, record them the way that we want to.
01:10:17.240
This ain't going to end well, but I love where it's starting, bro.
01:10:19.960
Nobody wants to leave because you're all doing your own solo projects while you're doing the trio thing.
01:10:39.900
So it's cool that, I mean, I literally just kind of sit back and then whenever something's about to get released,
01:10:45.000
we kind of, you know, just all strategize on how to release it together.
01:10:50.320
I mean, my biggest thing is just kind of using my platform and my fans and social media to help them get bigger.
01:11:05.220
And I think when we went and did our first EP, you actually were really hands-on, like, in the studio with us.
01:11:10.180
And you actually had some really great ideas to, you know, with, like, musical arrangement stuff and harmony parts.
01:11:25.840
Hey, that's more than you can say about a lot of people.
01:11:28.260
But it's watching you that's continuing to motivate us.
01:11:31.540
Yeah, watching Kane work out is y'all's new thing.
01:11:37.260
Hey, don't bite your lip when he says that, Zach.
01:11:42.020
Dude, well, I think we're gonna, on the way out today, we're gonna listen to some, one of y'all, is it a new song?
01:11:46.220
So tell me, what do you guys, like, I actually used to work as a tour manager, man.
01:11:49.200
I used to work, I was a tour manager for Josh Kelly.
01:11:52.920
So Charles Kelly, his brother, did music before him.
01:12:06.960
So we went to all the radio stations around the country, and we're just trying to, you know, like, he was playing for him in the morning and stuff like that.
01:12:14.400
I mean, we went to, I mean, I don't even, we went everywhere, man.
01:12:20.860
I don't know, but, but anyway, so yeah, I remember he had a single that we're trying to push on the radio and stuff like that.
01:12:27.040
But what are you guys, like, how do you guys, how are you introducing this band to the world kind of?
01:12:32.280
Dude, it's a lot harder now, especially during this pandemic, because they can't get out to these, you know, the radio stations.
01:12:38.120
So we're, you know, trying to look towards the fans because, like, I feel like labels, and they do too, is everybody's going, they're telling them, like, you got to blow up on TikTok for us to put this song out, which is bullshit.
01:12:52.880
So we're just trying to get through to the fans and everybody and just let them hear the music.
01:12:58.020
I mean, they sound the exact same as they do live, as they do on the song.
01:13:02.640
So it's just, I know they have, they're super talented, and I'm excited for them.
01:13:06.420
And when we get back on the road, I feel like they're going to take off.
01:13:10.440
Dang, dog, y'all get to go on a freaking big tour, dog?
01:13:29.440
I mean, we did that first show with Kane last year, and, like, I'm not going to lie, we all got off stage and got in the green room and cried like babies.
01:13:36.740
It was just overwhelming because it's just something that you think about and visualize for so long.
01:13:41.020
And then just to walk out there, and, I mean, an arena period is amazing, but an arena filled with fans like Kane's is just, I think, a whole different thing.
01:13:49.900
And we got to be a part of that, and it was just, we can't wait to do it again.
01:13:56.980
It's cool to see dreams kind of come true, you know, and just see them in this moment.
01:14:00.420
Like, right now, they're all kind of, like, you know, comfortable, and they're all chilling.
01:14:04.260
Fast forward two years, you guys, one of y'all will have face tats.
01:14:19.000
Like, one of us is just going to go, like, Dennis Rodman, just go missing.
01:14:24.700
I think it's West Virginia that's going to go Dennis Rodman, man.
01:14:30.320
I've always said, I don't know if I'd ever touch my face with a tattoo, but I'd definitely
01:14:37.800
Yeah, get that Waylon Jennings tattoo on your neck, dude.
01:14:42.140
So, on the way out today, we're going to check out their song.
01:14:47.320
Let's think of different things before you guys go.
01:14:54.560
Let's think of things that, so Kane, I was thinking like people, nicknames probably people
01:15:00.960
I'm sure your wife calls you around Christmas and stuff like that.
01:15:03.560
So, let's just go and we'll go in order and see who can think of a nickname for Kane, but
01:15:15.500
And if this doesn't work, we can take it out, bro, because we have editing.
01:15:25.160
I mean, I got one because Kane's signed us and he got that Kane Brown money and he helps
01:15:32.920
Oh yeah, he just gave $1,000 to some woman we met on television.
01:15:44.120
Maybe there could be a song called Purple Cane by Prince.
01:15:56.780
Well, we've always, I don't know why we always have said this, but when we're going over
01:16:02.160
to Kane's, it's always, we always reverse his name and say Bane Crown.
01:16:07.080
It kind of sounds like he's like some villain in some like superhero movie.
01:16:14.820
Bane Crown sounds like a villain in like a Zaxby's advertisement.
01:16:27.040
Well, I was in elementary school and I had to go to the bathroom and I came, I left and
01:16:37.640
And they were like, well, when you were leaving, she was like, she yelled hurricane, but it
01:16:47.200
It's not that funny, but it was funny at the time.
01:16:50.080
Very funny at the time for second grade, was it?
01:16:53.000
It's like second grade humor, you know what I mean?
01:16:56.500
I'm going to go with, I'm going to really take a detour here.
01:17:29.040
If you're leaving the dentist, what about Nova Kane?
01:17:34.700
I used to be addicted to cocaine, but I'm sure that's an easy one.
01:18:10.860
I've never heard that in the beginning, but now it's like I want to.
01:18:21.120
Maybe on Christmas Eve you could whisper it to him, but that's it, bro.
01:18:27.080
Um, can you see, can you see, what that woman been doing to me?
01:18:41.780
There's the cane from the Bible, but I think he either killed somebody or got killed.
01:18:55.180
Yeah, I could see that as like a group, like a, the Caniac.
01:19:06.440
I'll be driving home tonight and think of a million of these.
01:19:15.020
Dude, that was probably the only good one I had, to be honest with you.
01:19:27.920
You know how country songs are always talking about rain on an old tin roof?
01:19:31.360
You could have a meme that's like cane on an old tin roof.
01:19:42.100
Raising Cane is good, and I can't believe they haven't done a collab.
01:20:01.640
Okay, I think we, you know, we did our best here.
01:20:05.360
Look, I'm just going to let people know, the live show of them is going to be way better
01:20:08.740
than the guessing, us guessing Cane's nicknames.
01:20:16.980
I think maybe on the way out we can, so tell us about this song that we're going to hear
01:20:22.760
Yeah, so we got this song out called Took One Look At Her Mama, and it is, it's awesome.
01:20:31.200
Garrett can tell you a little bit about kind of how it came about.
01:20:33.560
Yeah, it was a couple years ago, and to preface this, my dad is like my best friend, and he
01:20:39.680
always has like the best dad wisdom, you know, as dads do, but we were all sitting at our
01:20:44.880
apartment after CMA Fest about four years ago, and I was dating this girl, and we were
01:20:49.880
all sitting around, and I asked my dad, and I said, Dad, I really like this girl, but
01:20:56.380
And my dad just looked over at me, had like a Michelob Ultra in his hand, and he said,
01:21:00.660
Son, if you want to have some sort of look into the future and know what a life might
01:21:06.120
be like with this girl, he said, all you got to do is take one look at her mama.
01:21:15.880
And so we, you know, fast forward a few years later, we were trying to come up with a song
01:21:19.400
title, and Zach had mentioned to me, he was like, what about what your dad said?
01:21:23.260
Like, took one look at her mama, like, you know, that would be a great song title.
01:21:27.580
So we all sat down over the quarantine, and we whipped it up, and yeah, now it's our next
01:21:40.220
Well, congratulations, guys, and congratulations to you, Cain, on being able to circle back up
01:21:45.420
with these guys, and all you guys really coming full circle, man.
01:21:48.160
It's cool when things like that happen in life, you know?
01:22:25.700
It might be weird for all sitting there listening, would it be?
01:22:56.660
But there's no better time in like a career that's rising, I feel like, than this time.
01:23:00.620
I haven't seen you knew that beach didn't fall far from the tree.
01:23:05.960
But it's how everything is still like just as awesome.
01:23:27.920
We were more than friends, but I fell in love all over again.
01:23:37.080
I took one look at the woman that raised her up.
