00:03:02.080 Almost there

00:03:02.980 So, yeah, when things get busy, it's interesting how they get.

00:03:12.580 You don't know who you're talking to.

00:03:13.960 You don't know what you just did a liner for.

00:03:16.900 You don't know what's going on.

00:03:18.080 It's crazy.

00:03:18.680 And I also, like, thought people were kind of full of it when they're like,

00:03:22.060 I don't, I didn't know what city I was in.

00:03:23.820 I didn't know what day it was.

00:03:25.120 Yeah.

00:03:25.700 It's true.

00:03:26.980 Oh, sometimes I'll be halfway through the statement.

00:03:30.360 What's up?

00:03:31.200 And I will have to check in my head, do you know what this is?

00:03:35.460 There's times where I, all day long, I'm like, all right, I'm in Salt Lake.

00:03:38.820 I'm in Salt Lake.

00:03:39.740 I get up there and I'm like, where am I?

00:03:44.980 You know?

00:03:46.260 Yep.

00:03:46.840 Yeah, it's kind of, it definitely gets, it can be kind of challenging.

00:03:49.660 I think just because of how quick things, how quick things happen and how busy you can get.

00:03:54.220 Can you move this a little bit in and down?

00:03:56.800 Yeah.

00:03:57.280 How about that?

00:03:57.540 But you can also move it if you feel like, I want you to feel caged up.

00:03:59.600 Like if I want to lie.

00:04:00.600 Yeah.

00:04:01.200 Oh, look, if you want to let loose something.

00:04:03.100 I can unscrew it.

00:04:04.400 Oh, I'll love it.

00:04:06.320 I love your voice.

00:04:07.940 Thank you.

00:04:08.520 Yeah.

00:04:08.960 Thank you.

00:04:09.140 It's really nice.

00:04:10.000 Thank you very much.

00:04:11.140 It's a gift, I feel like, to the whole world.

00:04:13.020 I'm sure a lot of people feel that way.

00:04:14.520 I feel like when you're singing, like somebody's singing from like, I feel like somebody's singing

00:04:19.740 from the past.

00:04:20.780 I mean, I feel like it's coming from like, yeah.

00:04:23.340 I just feel like it's like coming from another plane or something.

00:04:30.740 I'm like, it's almost like.

00:04:32.260 Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade.

00:04:34.540 Really?

00:04:35.200 Yeah.

00:04:35.460 I mean, who knows what I was doing in a previous life.

00:04:38.660 But yeah, I kind of have some weird feelings like that too.

00:04:42.020 Yeah?

00:04:42.640 Yeah.

00:04:43.220 Like, do you think of a time, like, do you feel like there's a time, like, do you get

00:04:47.920 a sense of what is going on around you at that time?

00:04:50.180 If it was a past?

00:04:51.300 I mean.

00:04:52.280 I don't know what it was.

00:04:55.480 But I do feel, I do feel like a little bit of an old soul.

00:04:59.560 I don't know.

00:05:00.220 I don't know if it's, which I have some family members and stuff who I think kind of feel

00:05:04.540 the same way.

00:05:05.200 So maybe it's just something like a little thing kind of passed down.

00:05:08.660 But yeah, I wonder who I was.

00:05:10.700 Who was I?

00:05:11.980 Yeah, who were you?

00:05:13.200 Who were you?

00:05:14.200 Oh, I know who you could have been.

00:05:15.660 You could have been like a train conductor, but before they had a whistle.

00:05:18.720 So you had to also be the whistle.

00:05:20.400 So you had to be like, like you had to really belt it out, you know?

00:05:25.560 I'm just trying to think of something where you'd also have to be like real verbose and

00:05:29.340 like let them know, you know?

00:05:30.900 Toot toot. 0.51

00:05:31.860 Yeah.

00:05:32.720 That's it.

00:05:34.360 And what if he would have come, or what if somebody else was a conductor and you just

00:05:37.640 were, you were the horn?

00:05:39.040 Like they didn't have the horn.

00:05:40.060 I was a caboose.

00:05:40.960 Don't even play.

00:05:41.740 I was, I was the caboose.

00:05:43.400 I have seen some videos on TikTok.

00:05:45.320 You were probably the caboose.

00:05:47.200 You were probably the caboose.

00:05:48.120 When I tell you, I can't even get on TikTok without.

00:05:51.440 People really coming for that romp, huh?

00:05:53.820 Coming for the romp.

00:05:54.980 I'm like, I've been in Nashville for 12 years trying to do music.

00:05:58.900 And here we are. 0.69

00:05:59.720 The butt goes viral. 0.93

00:06:00.620 And I mean, they, they find the music through the butt and they plan on sticking around, 0.95

00:06:04.360 but it's a, I'm trying to embrace it. 0.57

00:06:08.360 Yeah. 0.99

00:06:08.720 Nothing will keep a man around like some butt. 1.00

00:06:10.900 That's right. 0.99

00:06:11.680 That's right.

00:06:12.380 I'm like, whatever, whatever makes them listen to the music.

00:06:16.220 Yeah.

00:06:16.360 Hey, look, sometimes they start with the bass section, you know, before they get to the

00:06:19.000 treble, you know?

00:06:19.880 That's it.

00:06:20.180 That's exactly it.

00:06:21.620 I think that's all it is.

00:06:22.860 I think that's all it is too.

00:06:24.060 I mean, I didn't know how to feel about it in the beginning.

00:06:26.580 I was like, I thought it was going to be just this little, little tiny viral thing. 0.64

00:06:31.700 And next thing I know, weeks later, I'm still seeing big old butts. 0.99

00:06:35.780 Yeah.

00:06:36.140 What was that?

00:06:36.700 Can you pull that up, Ben?

00:06:39.480 If you find that TikTok, I don't even know.

00:06:41.540 I just remember seeing that and it was like, yeah, it was like a side angle of you on a

00:06:46.860 stage and then it was.

00:06:47.840 With the leopard pants.

00:06:48.920 Yeah.

00:06:49.820 Now that'll probably do it too.

00:06:51.320 That was like an optical illusion. 0.97

00:06:52.240 I don't think my butt's really that big. 0.98

00:06:53.600 I think it was the leopard. 0.99

00:06:55.060 I mean, maybe the leopard had a big butt. 0.99

00:06:58.000 Oh my God. 0.97

00:06:58.860 That is, see.

00:07:00.020 Wow.

00:07:00.540 That was, that was a good day.

00:07:02.760 Also, this is a widescreen.

00:07:04.660 Let's be honest.

00:07:05.460 I mean, look, I'm just saying.

00:07:07.040 Y'all doing me dirty.

00:07:08.100 This is 16.9, baby.

00:07:09.600 I think whatever that is, that thing is.

00:07:13.200 You got that silver screen rear.

00:07:15.720 Dang, that thing is.

00:07:16.840 That's all.

00:07:17.540 It's out there.

00:07:18.400 Yeah.

00:07:18.660 That cheetah must've been strong. 1.00

00:07:20.880 What's weird is people were like, where'd you get that from?

00:07:23.300 And I say, I get the, the width from my mama and the depth from my daddy.

00:07:27.340 Really?

00:07:27.900 My daddy's got a, he got a little booty on him. 0.92

00:07:29.760 Does he?

00:07:30.040 Yeah.

00:07:30.360 Yeah.

00:07:31.180 Wow. 1.00

00:07:32.200 I used to date a girl actually, and she had her father's butt. 1.00

00:07:36.440 Oh my God. 0.99

00:07:37.740 Yep.

00:07:38.120 And it was always like, I don't know.

00:07:40.520 It was so hard for me sometimes to like want to mate with her sometimes. 0.99

00:07:46.520 Cause you're just thinking about her father's butt. 0.99

00:07:48.000 I wasn't thinking about her father, but it was like a very distinct looking buttocks, 0.99

00:07:51.780 you know? 0.99

00:07:52.660 I got to see this girl's butt. 1.00

00:07:54.140 I mean, she was beautiful, but she had, she had her father's butt kind of. 1.00

00:07:58.700 I think, I mean, I don't know. 0.97

00:08:00.540 I shouldn't even say that.

00:08:01.500 I don't know what was going on.

00:08:02.840 She listening to this too.

00:08:03.920 And she knows exactly.

00:08:51.680 Yeah.

00:08:52.120 They look like frog legs almost right there with those pants in a way.

00:08:55.360 Kind of, you know what I'm saying?

00:08:57.400 Well, you look lovely.

00:08:58.420 That's awesome.

00:09:04.140 Oh, he's still writing letters to you.

00:09:06.000 Oh yeah.

00:09:06.400 He's probably in a minimum security facility right now.

00:09:09.700 You're probably right.

00:09:11.360 You are originally, we're both from Louisiana.

00:09:13.260 I know.

00:09:14.000 That's cool.

00:09:14.720 Different parts of Louisiana, but.

00:09:16.740 Yeah.

00:09:16.980 You're up from, you're from.

00:09:18.580 I'm from Northeast.

00:09:19.760 So like about 30 miles south of Monroe.

00:09:22.100 Okay.

00:09:22.480 A little town called Baskin of like 200 people.

00:09:25.580 Oh wow.

00:09:26.080 You're from Covington area?

00:09:27.260 Yeah.

00:09:27.400 I'm from Covington.

00:09:28.240 Okay.

00:09:29.060 And Baskin, is that near?

00:09:31.120 Cause I used to work up near Natchez.

00:09:32.560 I worked on a farm outside of Natchez up near like Vidalia.

00:09:35.200 Not too far from Natchez.

00:09:37.020 Vidalia.

00:09:37.760 And Faraday.

00:09:38.600 Yeah.

00:09:42.460 We go to like, where is it?

00:09:44.400 Okay.

00:09:44.600 There we go.

00:09:45.160 Baskin.

00:09:45.660 Dang.

00:09:46.020 That's it.

00:09:46.820 My God.

00:09:48.020 Yup.

00:09:48.400 Yup.

00:09:48.620 There it is.

00:09:49.220 You blink and miss it.

00:09:50.220 We have a caution light.

00:09:52.660 And what's the caution for?

00:09:53.940 Is there somebody who misbehaves in town?

00:09:56.740 It is a speed trap.

00:09:57.640 When I tell you, if you go through Baskin, you better slow down.

00:10:00.540 Oh God.

00:10:01.200 I got my first speeding ticket at 15 years old in Baskin.

00:10:05.820 I had to go to court.

00:10:06.960 Well, of course, there's nothing for them to do.

00:10:08.780 They have to give you a ticket.

00:10:09.980 Like, well, we gotta do it.

00:10:11.120 We gotta pay the bills.

00:10:15.180 But yeah, I've been in Nashville for almost 12 years.

00:10:20.140 Got here August 1st, 2011 in a little camper trailer.

00:10:24.460 Did you?

00:10:25.220 Yup.

00:10:25.540 I lived in a camper the first three years I was here.

00:10:28.680 And I'm just too hard-headed to leave, honestly.

00:10:31.860 I don't know how to do anything else.

00:10:33.000 This is it.

00:10:33.800 Yeah?

00:10:34.880 Is singing.

00:10:35.560 Now, do you sing?

00:10:36.140 Do you also play?

00:10:37.020 You play instruments?

00:10:38.120 Yeah.

00:10:38.220 Yeah.

00:10:38.360 I play the guitar.

00:10:39.380 I can play a little bit of piano by ear.

00:10:41.740 But yeah, I love it.

00:10:43.780 My daddy taught me a few chords on the guitar and wrote my first song at nine years old.

00:10:48.480 I knew, I mean, my family took me on a trip when I was nine.

00:10:52.480 It was like a couple weeks after I had written my first song.

00:10:55.140 And we were driving back home to Louisiana and we drove through Nashville.

00:10:59.160 I remember where I was on the interstate.

00:11:01.700 I was looking at the Batman building and I told my mom and daddy, I said, this is home.

00:11:05.480 I just knew it.

00:11:06.220 Really?

00:11:06.800 I knew it.

00:11:07.300 I knew that I was going to be a part of this industry.

00:11:10.860 I just didn't know when or what that was going to look like.

00:11:13.840 And yeah, this has always been the plan.

00:11:17.680 Wow.

00:11:19.160 And so when you're starting to, so you're a child and how do you get into music?

00:11:23.160 I mean, obviously, Louisiana, there's a lot of like music passing through there.

00:11:26.360 That's right.

00:11:26.740 You could have a, you know, a sip of off a local hose and you, you know, you might have

00:11:33.380 a couple notes just get lodged in you.

00:11:35.180 It's definitely, it's in the world there.

00:11:38.200 What, how did that kind of start for you?

00:11:40.020 I mean, did your mother or father play?

00:11:42.720 Daddy played a little.

00:11:44.500 Mama, bless her heart. 1.00

00:11:46.260 She can't carry a tune in a bucket. 0.99

00:11:47.940 I'm talking about like, she sings the loudest in church, but like even Jesus is getting mad

00:11:52.860 about that.

00:11:53.320 He's like looking down like, that's of the devil.

00:11:56.280 That's of the devil.

00:11:58.660 But she loves music.

00:12:00.940 She loves to dance.

00:12:02.460 On both sides of my family, I have people who play like musical instruments and stuff.

00:12:06.080 But in Baskin, I mean, country music is more than just a genre.

00:12:10.920 It is truly a way of life.

00:12:13.100 And so growing up, you know, listening to a lot of 90s country, I just, we eat, sleep

00:12:16.700 and breathe it.

00:12:17.520 Yeah.

00:12:17.760 We talk about music.

00:12:18.880 We sit around.

00:12:20.460 If I was riding the tractor with daddy, like that's what we were listening to.

00:12:23.560 And it was really a soundtrack to our lives.

00:12:27.300 And so I didn't even realize as a little girl, that country music was like a genre of music.

00:12:32.020 I thought it was just, you know.

00:12:33.120 That's music.

00:12:33.800 That's just it.

00:12:34.760 Yeah.

00:12:35.160 Wow.

00:12:36.460 That's interesting.

00:12:36.940 And what about for you down there?

00:12:39.580 Well, what I'm trying to think of the first song I ever even heard, I think was Bon Jovi.

00:12:45.920 Yeah.

00:12:46.100 And I was like, this babysitter was giving me a ride to YMCA camp and she played it.

00:12:52.780 And I'd never been like in a car, like with a woman before. 1.00

00:12:55.480 That wasn't my mother. 1.00

00:12:56.760 Yeah.

00:12:57.020 And so I think it like, everything seems so like real.

00:13:00.940 Yeah.

00:13:01.380 Yeah.

00:13:01.600 Yeah.

00:13:01.760 Yeah.

00:13:01.920 So my memories were like very alive, you know?

00:13:04.460 And so I just remember being there and she let me put her seatbelt on her.

00:13:09.080 I remember it.

00:13:09.640 Oh my gosh.

00:13:11.100 Because I think I was like, I was like, you know, we got to be safe.

00:13:14.480 You got to be safe in here.

00:13:15.780 Let me buckle you up.

00:13:16.760 Yeah.

00:13:17.060 So I think she put mine on and I was like, oh, let me put yours on, you know?

00:13:19.760 So I took mine off.

00:13:20.720 You smart.

00:13:21.000 And when I put hers on, I was like kind of close to like her body.

00:13:23.860 And so I remember like, oh man.

00:13:25.740 So then I was like, let's put yours on again.

00:13:27.940 Right.

00:13:28.160 I just remember I kept like putting.

00:13:29.360 Let's unbuckle.

00:13:30.020 We didn't do this the right way.

00:13:32.060 Let's do it again.

00:13:33.480 So I put her seatbelt on like seven times.

00:13:35.340 And then finally she, um, we start driving and she put on Bon Jovi and I just remember

00:13:40.540 hearing that was like the first song I ever heard.

00:13:42.680 Really?

00:13:43.340 Um, the first time I ever heard a woman sing that I remember I was in high school and they

00:13:50.340 had, I'm sure I heard stuff on the radio, but, um, some girl in our talent show at school 0.96

00:13:56.020 played like a Jewel song.

00:13:58.440 And it was like, dude, I like didn't even know what was going on.

00:14:04.260 Like I was like mesmerized.

00:14:05.920 Oh, mesmerized.

00:14:07.760 It was just like, cause I never, it just was so beautiful.

00:14:10.320 It was like, it was like a woman just sitting there playing the piano and singing and it

00:14:14.040 was, oh, yeah, I fell in that feeling.

00:14:16.580 Yeah.

00:14:17.000 Did you play in like talent shows and stuff at school?

00:14:19.560 Was that, I mean, what was school?

00:14:21.060 I mean, if 200 people are in town, how many were in school?

00:14:24.520 I had to go over to the town next to me.

00:14:26.880 Okay.

00:14:27.280 Um, there was a elementary school in Baskin and my mama taught there.

00:14:31.480 My grandma was a principal and, um, but even going over to the town next to me, I mean,

00:14:36.560 I still, I only graduated with 24 kids and that was one of the biggest classes they've

00:14:40.640 ever had.

00:14:41.360 Wow.

00:14:41.800 So, you know, everybody, everybody knows you and it's like the, the best thing and the

00:14:45.860 worst thing, you know?

00:14:47.040 Yeah.

00:14:48.220 They'll be there no matter what, but they'll be there no matter what.

00:14:51.520 Right, right, right.

00:14:52.260 Yeah.

00:14:52.600 It's so small, I guess, huh?

00:14:54.380 Yep.

00:14:54.680 Like, did you, so was, was, I guess it was the kind of town you probably had to have like

00:14:59.080 a boyfriend from like a young age.

00:15:00.940 Was it like that kind of town?

00:15:02.240 Yes.

00:15:02.680 I mean, I dated the same boy for seven years.

00:15:05.560 Wow.

00:15:05.900 That's so popular in those type of communities.

00:15:07.840 No, it, it really is.

00:15:09.920 And now like when I see, like if I have a songwriter buddy or whatever, if he's got like a daughter

00:15:14.960 and, and I've realized they're, they've been in this relationship for a long time.

00:15:18.560 I'm like, tell her not to do that.

00:15:19.920 Yeah.

00:15:20.420 Like let go sow some wild oats, you know, like at the end of the day, you might end up together.

00:15:25.380 Right.

00:15:25.840 But there's a big old possibility that you are going to change.

00:15:28.280 You're going to be a completely different person.

00:15:30.120 I mean, I'm a different person than I was five years ago.

00:15:32.540 So you just change.

00:15:35.020 Yeah.

00:15:35.360 A hundred percent.

00:15:36.060 And so did you go to like prom?

00:15:37.420 Was it like all of that?

00:15:38.380 Like it was like all the same boyfriend, huh?

00:15:40.200 Yeah.

00:15:40.920 Wow.

00:15:41.240 Well, there was one year where we had broke up for a couple of months and I went to five

00:15:44.660 proms that year. 0.99

00:15:45.520 Oh, damn. 0.99

00:15:46.220 At that point I was just asking, I was like, anybody need a prom? 0.99

00:15:49.440 I'll go with you.

00:15:52.200 But, um.

00:15:52.980 So I want to go back a little bit to like, just like when you were growing up, like what

00:15:55.580 was it like?

00:15:56.280 Like, was it, uh, so your mom worked at the school.

00:15:59.360 Yep.

00:15:59.800 And what'd she teach over there?

00:16:01.000 Um, well, she taught second grade for a while and then she taught the gifted and talented

00:16:06.040 program.

00:16:06.940 Oh, she did.

00:16:07.500 And so she loved that.

00:16:08.860 Um, and my daddy, he's a banker and a farmer.

00:16:12.220 He does like crop loans for farmers and, um, farms, corn, wheat, soybeans, oats.

00:16:19.040 I mean, they had us doing stuff all the time.

00:16:21.500 Yeah.

00:16:22.220 It's crazy how much like growing up on a farm taught me just about life.

00:16:27.060 Yeah.

00:16:27.700 In general.

00:16:28.780 I mean, you get up every day.

00:16:30.080 I mean, even when it comes to, you know, what you do, you get up every day, you roll

00:16:35.280 your sleeves up.

00:16:36.040 You have good years.

00:16:36.740 You have bad years.

00:16:37.820 Oh, they have, they have a lot.

00:16:38.960 It's a tough, that is a tough business.

00:16:40.980 I mean, some, a tornado could roll through.

00:16:43.160 A flood.

00:16:44.460 Locusts.

00:16:45.180 Anything.

00:16:45.500 Anything out the second half of the Bible.

00:16:47.420 All of that comes through.

00:16:48.660 It does.

00:16:48.980 And then you got to worry about the legit, the, all the loan side of it, the financial

00:16:53.500 side of it.

00:16:54.140 That's right.

00:16:55.260 Yeah.

00:16:55.560 I remember when I would work on a farm, we would get up.

00:16:57.560 Yeah.

00:16:57.660 We'd roll out at like six 30 and people would like, yeah, you just eat like gas station

00:17:04.520 food until you got to lunch.

00:17:06.780 And then lunch was kind of a big, if you had a nice deal, unless like you were planning,

00:17:10.200 then you had a pretty decent lunch.

00:17:12.020 Oh yeah.

00:17:12.380 And when I got home, I literally, I remember laying down as the first time I ever just,

00:17:16.200 and then just woke up the next day.

00:17:17.840 It was like.

00:17:18.140 Oh, you were tired.

00:17:19.040 I was tired.

00:17:19.760 Yeah.

00:17:20.180 Yeah.

00:17:20.440 It was nice.

00:17:21.320 I know.

00:17:21.880 We used to like during the summers when I was too little to actually help do anything,

00:17:26.340 daddy wouldn't ever let me plant because he knew I'd mess that up, but he would let

00:17:30.020 me disc up the fields and stuff like that.

00:17:32.100 But we would take food out to the field and let the tailgate down and kind of, that would

00:17:37.420 be our little picnic table and have all the farmers come out and it's, it's a good

00:17:42.260 childhood memory.

00:17:43.380 Yeah, I bet.

00:17:44.220 Yeah.

00:17:45.200 Do you remember, um, like having like a real, like, like connection to any female singers

00:17:56.660 when you were young?

00:17:57.520 Like, was there anybody that really was like.

00:17:59.540 I mean, Dolly Parton.

00:18:01.480 Oh yeah.

00:18:02.160 Everything about the woman.

00:18:03.740 I mean, just the way that she carries herself.

00:18:06.660 I feel like she don't let anybody run over her.

00:18:09.140 Um, she kind of tells it how it is with a, like a little bow wrapped on top, you know?

00:18:14.320 Yeah.

00:18:15.020 She's just incredible.

00:18:16.520 Singer, songwriter.

00:18:17.380 I've actually never even met her.

00:18:19.080 Really?

00:18:19.580 But, um, I think I could, I've learned a lot from her by not meeting her.

00:18:24.120 So I can't imagine how much I would actually learn from her if I sat down with her and

00:18:27.480 got some advice.

00:18:29.280 I mean, that would be absolutely insane.

00:18:31.820 But yeah, her, um, and I love Leanne Womack.

00:18:35.840 I love, I just love 90s country.

00:18:38.700 Um, everybody from Shania to Reba to Trisha Yearwood.

00:18:44.700 Like, I feel like those, Faith Hill, those were the voices that were around.

00:18:50.160 Yeah.

00:18:50.960 What did Leanne Womack sing? 0.88

00:18:52.740 I Hope You Dance.

00:18:54.180 Oh yeah. 1.00

00:18:55.380 The Fool. 0.98

00:18:56.020 I remember the first time I heard I Hope You Dance. 0.95

00:18:58.040 I was, I was in sixth grade and my teacher came in with a little boom box on her shoulder

00:19:04.080 and she played it.

00:19:06.080 And even in the sixth grade, I remember how that song made me feel.

00:19:09.640 And I was like, whatever this feeling is, like, I want to make other people feel that

00:19:14.760 way.

00:19:15.300 Wow.

00:19:16.720 That song.

00:19:17.980 Yeah.

00:19:18.280 Music's so wild like that.

00:19:19.780 I realized that in the past year that a lot of music, it's like, you, sometimes you can't

00:19:24.980 put into words what you're trying to say, right?

00:19:27.460 And a song will do that.

00:19:29.460 It's like, it's like, uh, it's just such a gift because it'll do that for you.

00:19:33.640 It's crazy.

00:19:34.380 Yeah.

00:19:34.600 I mean, I have a hard time completing, you know, full sentences, but I can write a dang

00:19:39.220 song.

00:19:39.980 Like, but I bet you, I don't know if out of Baskin, if y'all could have, if everybody

00:19:43.380 would have got together in a meeting, if y'all could have put a sentence together.

00:19:46.280 No judgment.

00:19:47.440 I don't know.

00:19:48.280 I'm just saying Louisiana, dude.

00:19:50.020 It's like.

00:19:50.120 You know how it is.

00:19:51.420 Oh, bro.

00:19:52.020 You will see a, I mean, there was, I remember one kid turned in a paper and had no punctuation

00:19:56.760 in it one time in our class.

00:19:57.860 That sounds about right.

00:19:58.800 And the teacher even showed it to everybody.

00:20:00.200 She's like, I've just never seen anything like this.

00:20:02.340 I mean, that's how we talk.

00:20:03.420 Yeah.

00:20:03.820 I know.

00:20:04.180 It's just never.

00:20:04.960 We did write how we talk.

00:20:07.520 But I love how, I mean, there's so many different like dialects and stuff in Louisiana.

00:20:11.100 And I feel like from where, where you're at, it's way different than where I'm from.

00:20:15.720 Oh yeah.

00:20:16.100 Where you guys, it's a lot more farming up there.

00:20:18.860 Yes.

00:20:19.320 It's a lot more, I feel like young gestation.

00:20:23.600 I want to kind of say like, you know, a lot more youthful people getting, you know, pregnant 0.99

00:20:28.900 and blaming it on God, but really they're seeing somebody.

00:20:31.540 That's right.

00:20:32.160 You know, I feel like there's a lot more just kind of secret.

00:20:37.300 Like, I don't know what I'm trying to say.

00:20:40.540 No, I agree.

00:20:41.620 I feel like South Louisiana folks kind of just leave it out there.

00:20:46.220 Yeah.

00:20:46.480 What you see is what you get.

00:20:48.040 And for some of the North Louisiana folks too, it's that way.

00:20:50.820 But there's also a little bit of that, like, we're going to act like it ain't happening

00:20:54.120 kind of thing.

00:20:55.580 Yeah.

00:20:55.880 Act like the Lord's and really involved.

00:20:57.460 Oh yeah.

00:20:57.740 Like the Lord made me cheat.

00:21:00.600 He, he asked me to, you know.

00:21:04.300 And the Lord bought me another drink.

00:21:06.440 The Lord, he did it.

00:21:07.700 You're like, what?

00:21:08.120 He spoke to me.

00:21:09.800 Yep.

00:21:10.820 I've been there.

00:21:12.680 Yeah.

00:21:13.080 I'm trying to think of, do you remember going?

00:21:16.040 So if you went to like a high school dance, where'd you go to that at?

00:21:20.540 At the school.

00:21:22.100 At the, I mean.

00:21:23.120 Were you guys at like Winsboro or something?

00:21:24.480 Where were you guys?

00:21:25.000 In Winsboro.

00:21:25.760 Winsboro?

00:21:26.180 Winsboro.

00:21:26.460 That's where I went to school.

00:21:28.440 Yeah.

00:21:28.520 We used to go, I think to a grain elevator there.

00:21:30.300 I'm trying to think of what did we do there?

00:21:31.380 We went.

00:21:32.000 Oh yeah.

00:21:32.320 There was grain elevators.

00:21:33.480 Was there?

00:21:34.360 Oh, yep.

00:21:34.900 Yeah, I think when I was working on that farm, we would go up there to drive.

00:21:39.020 Maybe it was to work, something like that.

00:21:41.720 Yeah.

00:21:41.960 We'd go to Winsboro sometime.

00:21:42.600 There's a big old grain elevator right there in the middle of town across from the Walmart.

00:21:46.820 Oh, dang.

00:21:47.520 Yep.

00:21:48.000 Deer Park.

00:21:48.640 Where else would we go to?

00:21:49.560 I don't remember.

00:21:51.000 Not many people know Winsboro, so I'm surprised that that's why I didn't even say.

00:21:55.180 Oh yeah?

00:21:55.600 Yeah.

00:21:56.320 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:56.840 That's wild.

00:21:58.380 Well, we'd go up there.

00:21:59.180 Yeah.

00:21:59.340 Sometimes I'm like, I feel like that was it.

00:22:01.380 I don't remember that well.

00:22:02.420 But it was fun, man.

00:22:05.320 Yep.

00:22:05.860 I enjoyed it.

00:22:06.740 One time I was, because it always, I was just like a hand, you know, on the farm, so I would

00:22:11.280 just do whatever.

00:22:12.240 Yeah.

00:22:12.800 And one time I had to paint this house and I was worried about the bees getting me, right?

00:22:17.880 Because I had a lot of bees out there. 0.94

00:22:20.180 So yeah, there you go right there.

00:22:23.780 That's it.

00:22:24.380 That grain elevator, baby.

00:22:25.600 That's it.

00:22:26.640 Put that grain away, boy.

00:22:30.740 And so I put, I made this visqueen suit, right?

00:22:33.660 Out of like visqueen and duct tape, right?

00:22:35.580 Yeah.

00:22:36.020 So I got on this ladder and I'm painting and these bees are like hitting me and I'm just

00:22:39.180 like invincible, right?

00:22:40.640 But what I don't realize is the heat, it was probably maybe 94 or something.

00:22:44.240 Oh, shoot.

00:22:45.600 So suddenly I start to see like at the bottom of my, like these, like feet I made on this

00:22:49.780 suit, because I went really in on this suit.

00:22:51.480 It was pretty nice.

00:22:52.940 There's just like water kind of pouring out of me.

00:22:54.780 I'm like, where, where is water?

00:22:56.720 And then I just realized I was just losing water.

00:22:59.080 Yeah.

00:22:59.980 And, uh, and it was bad, man.

00:23:02.040 They put me in a tub of ice at lunch and.

00:23:04.600 Oh my gosh.

00:23:05.640 People were scared.

00:23:06.620 Yeah.

00:23:07.300 And one guy's praying.

00:23:08.100 I'm like, dude, call the police.

00:23:09.380 Don't pray, bro.

00:23:11.040 You know what I'm saying?

00:26:41.220 A shit show. 1.00

00:26:42.480 Yeah? 1.00

00:26:43.180 Yeah.

00:26:43.740 It was drama.

00:26:45.720 I thought that's how it was supposed to be.

00:26:48.280 You fight for each other.

00:26:49.560 No, you don't.

00:26:50.880 You don't have to fight for each other.

00:26:52.860 Really.

00:26:53.400 You really don't.

00:26:54.140 And it took me a long time to realize that, but that's kind of the mentality in some of

00:27:01.300 those, you know, small towns.

00:27:02.940 Oh, yeah.

00:27:03.180 I think there's so much like, I'm losing all my words today, but there's like a lot of

00:27:09.100 stuff that's kind of romanticized.

00:27:10.560 So it's like, you know, we got to do this.

00:27:12.520 It's us against the world.

00:27:12.940 I got a tiger by the tail.

00:27:14.220 Let's go, you know?

00:27:15.100 So, yeah, it was, but high school for me was, it was fun.

00:27:22.700 I will say that I'm not friends with hardly any of the people that I graduated with just

00:27:27.260 because we're living completely different lives.

00:27:30.200 I might, there might be another person out of my graduating class that's not married with

00:27:34.720 kids.

00:27:36.340 Right.

00:27:36.840 Were you a loner?

00:27:38.380 No, I wasn't a loner.

00:27:39.640 Like I had like girlfriends and stuff like that and, um, but man, just like we were talking

00:27:45.880 about earlier, like people change, things change. 0.68

00:27:48.540 And sometimes you figure out who people really are and it sucks. 0.96

00:27:54.800 Yeah.

00:27:55.300 Um, but I will say looking back on it now, um, I wouldn't change it for anything.

00:28:02.020 If anything, it kind of gave me that boost.

00:28:03.760 I needed to be here in Nashville because I might still have, you know, oh man, I need to go.

00:28:08.760 I need to go back there and, and hang out with my, with my girls and, you know, having

00:28:13.000 those ties or still dating that same old boy.

00:28:15.640 Yeah.

00:28:16.180 It kind of gave me that push of like, no, you get out there and you, and you start your

00:28:19.540 own life.

00:28:20.320 Like I, I spent a handful of nights in my bed last year here in Nashville.

00:28:24.880 Wow.

00:28:25.560 So.

00:28:26.720 So you're on the road that much then?

00:28:28.660 Everything between that and filming Yellowstone and, um, yeah, we are on the, we're on the road

00:28:34.840 a lot, but we're trying to, you know, burn up the road, strike when the iron's hot and

00:28:39.580 got to take advantage of this viral TikTok ass thing going on. 0.99

00:28:43.960 Is that really what you feel like is kind of no? 0.91

00:28:45.400 I'm just playing.

00:28:46.180 Okay.

00:28:47.620 But it's interesting.

00:28:48.320 I mean, a little bit.

00:28:49.140 It's interesting how you get onto people's radars.

00:28:51.420 It's so hard to get onto people's radars.

00:28:53.840 I know.

00:28:54.960 I know.

00:28:55.680 What kind of stuff do you follow on TikTok?

00:28:58.120 Oh my gosh.

00:28:59.800 Um, I follow like a few of my friends, like my songwriting friends, Meg McCree, Ben Chapman.

00:29:04.900 I love looking at their stuff. 0.99

00:29:06.700 Um, but I follow like stupid stuff. 0.99

00:29:09.500 I love like watching people fall down. 0.99

00:29:11.400 Yeah.

00:29:11.760 I love, um, I love watching like little puppy videos, you know, it depends on what kind of

00:29:17.160 mood I'm in.

00:29:18.180 And every now and then I'll be scrolling.

00:29:19.840 I'll get some, you know, like somebody preaching at me and then I'll get into that and I'll be like,

00:29:24.740 you know, if you watch the whole thing, you're going to get another one.

00:29:26.740 And I'm like, Oh, the Lord, he trying to, he getting me.

00:29:35.500 some link.

00:29:36.620 And now I got that coming.

00:29:38.080 I just hope it's not too small because I feel like that's not the sweatshirt.

00:29:42.140 No, no, no.

00:29:43.000 You've seen it if it's too small.

00:29:44.060 Absolutely not.

00:29:45.020 Yeah.

00:29:45.600 That needs to be a big one.

00:29:47.200 Uh huh.

00:29:48.040 Um, yeah, I'm trying to think what I watch.

00:29:49.880 I follow a couple of like, like, uh, people that have like disabilities or somehow a lot of

00:29:54.360 people like if, like now it used to like now people kind of champion if somebody in their

00:29:58.220 family has a disability, you know?

00:30:00.240 Um, so I follow a couple of folks like that.

00:30:03.020 I follow this little baby named Samaj, this little black child who is so just adorable with

00:30:08.540 his mother.

00:30:09.120 Yeah.

00:30:09.300 They're all, he's always, he always says he has to go to work and then he has to go to

00:30:12.820 his second job.

00:30:14.720 Um, what else do I follow?

00:30:17.220 Yeah, I get it.

00:30:17.980 Sometimes the Lord will, yeah, the Lord grows through.

00:30:20.560 Yeah, he'll stop you dead in your track.

00:30:21.120 You'll be like watching something you ain't supposed to be watching.

00:30:23.440 And then the next one will be like, stop.

00:30:26.740 This one's for you.

00:30:27.680 Don't scroll.

00:30:28.940 You know?

00:30:30.940 Oh.

00:30:33.300 Um, I don't know.

00:30:35.820 So then what is, uh, what has, what was like a first job that you had growing up?

00:30:42.020 Did you have a job you said?

00:30:43.320 Oh yeah.

00:30:44.340 I impersonated Hannah Montana.

00:30:46.140 Oh, you did really?

00:30:46.820 I really did for five years.

00:30:48.280 No way.

00:30:49.220 I started in the eighth grade.

00:30:51.160 I would do like three or four parties a weekend.

00:30:54.000 But whose parties were there?

00:30:55.340 If there's only 200 people in town.

00:30:56.720 Oh no, I went everywhere.

00:30:58.240 It's so the first party I did was, um, for my eighth grade teacher and she had just bought

00:31:03.520 me a little Hannah Montana wig and she's like, will you just show up to my little girl's 1.00

00:31:06.920 party and pretend to be Hannah?

00:31:09.140 And I just took it too far and went and bought the karaoke track.

00:31:14.040 I already had a portable sound system.

00:31:16.160 And so I put on a show on a flatbed trailer.

00:31:18.900 And when I tell you it spread like wildfire.

00:31:21.640 Wow.

00:31:22.080 Next thing I know, I mean, I'm playing in Mississippi and Arkansas, Texas.

00:31:25.620 The last place I did it was at St. Jude.

00:31:28.480 Um, like I would open up the show or I would at least ask like, can Laney open up the show? 0.98

00:31:34.220 And they're like, who's that?

00:31:35.260 And I'm like, person you hired to do this job.

00:31:38.860 So.

00:31:39.740 Oh, so you would do both characters.

00:31:41.140 Yeah.

00:31:42.120 I would try to, cause I'm like, let me take advantage of this.

00:31:44.960 Um, let me just get up there with my guitar and see if they like my stuff.

00:31:49.180 Yeah.

00:31:49.500 That's a great idea.

00:31:50.980 So yeah, I did that for five years.

00:31:53.680 I played with.

00:31:54.740 Did you ever get to perform it for Miley or no?

00:31:57.300 I've never met Miley.

00:31:58.420 You haven't?

00:31:59.200 But we got to do something together at some point.

00:32:01.220 Cause I mean, I can't get away from the Cyrus's. 0.97

00:32:03.740 The first song I learned on guitar was Achy Breaky Heart.

00:32:06.700 Oh, wow.

00:32:07.180 So yeah, it's got to happen.

00:32:10.600 I might as well be a Cyrus at this point.

00:32:12.760 My ache.

00:32:13.380 Yeah.

00:32:13.580 I met some guy that day, I think dated one of, uh, that dated Miley for a while the

00:32:17.220 other day at a party somewhere.

00:32:18.200 But, uh, I don't know if I've ever met her.

00:32:20.840 No, maybe I met one of her sisters.

00:32:22.200 Um, she's got a lot of siblings, huh?

00:32:25.540 Yeah.

00:32:25.740 There's a lot of, Cyrus's keep popping up.

00:32:28.380 I know.

00:32:28.680 Like, dang, I didn't know there was.

00:32:29.740 Okay.

00:32:30.040 Yeah.

00:32:30.840 Okay.

00:32:31.180 Like, okay.

00:32:31.820 Ricky Cyrus.

00:32:32.780 Yeah.

00:32:33.040 All right.

00:32:33.460 I don't know about that.

00:32:34.180 Uh huh.

00:32:34.780 You know, like, okay.

00:32:37.480 Deontay Cyrus.

00:32:38.440 I don't know.

00:32:38.740 That sounds.

00:32:39.720 Deontay.

00:32:40.120 Yeah.

00:32:40.920 Everybody's trying to be a Cyrus.

00:32:41.840 Yeah.

00:32:42.040 I feel like a lot of, there could be a lot of faux Cyrus's going.

00:32:45.320 Um.

00:32:46.520 I did a lot of, like, I'll say whenever I first moved to Nashville.

00:32:50.620 Yep.

00:32:50.900 Um, when I was living in my camper trailer, I, I mean.

00:32:54.320 And were you living in there with a man?

00:32:55.300 You were living in there by yourself?

00:32:56.000 Oh, by myself.

00:32:56.880 Oh, dang.

00:32:57.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:59.280 You have a security animal?

00:33:01.140 Uh huh.

00:33:01.600 So, long story short, um, there was a guy from Baskin who wanted to move to Nashville and

00:33:08.340 do music and he ended up becoming a songwriter, producer and had some success, like, in the

00:33:15.260 90s.

00:33:16.100 Okay.

00:33:16.360 But he wanted to move in the late 70s and, uh, my grandfather on my daddy's side, he

00:33:22.360 gave him just like a few hundred dollars to kind of help him move to Nashville and get

00:33:25.420 started.

00:33:25.940 So, as a favor in return, like, he was my mentor kind of growing up.

00:33:30.040 He'd stop by my house whenever he came home to Baskin and stuff.

00:33:32.920 Okay.

00:33:33.080 Um, he let me live in his studio parking lot out in Bellevue for free for three years.

00:33:40.900 So, I hooked up the trailer to the water, the Wi-Fi, the electricity.

00:33:45.060 I mean, I flooded the thing.

00:33:46.880 I was having, uh, plumbing issues and nobody wanted to help me work on the thing.

00:33:53.200 So, you know, I've got my daddy on the other line and he's like, well, do this, close off

00:33:57.060 your valves, fill up your tank, then, you know, let it run for a while, undo it and let

00:34:01.260 it kind of flush out while I fell asleep and the entire Dane Camper trailer flooded.

00:34:08.080 It's, uh, I mean, the, the floor eventually started rotting out, you know, you just had

00:34:12.160 to be careful where you were stepping.

00:34:13.640 Oh, yeah.

00:34:14.080 Jump over the other part to get to the bathroom, you know.

00:34:16.680 Oh, yeah.

00:34:17.160 It's like Dance Dance Revolution kind of in there at a certain point, you know, especially

00:34:20.300 in a bad trailer.

00:34:21.420 When they start to go, they start to go.

00:34:23.240 That's right.

00:34:23.660 Yeah.

00:34:23.960 I mean, the whole thing needed to be redone.

00:34:26.440 And, um, I remember one time I was, I was taking a shower and, um, I had just started

00:34:32.500 these like kickboxing lessons or it was some, something called hot box here in town where

00:34:37.680 it's like super hot, but you're boxing.

00:34:40.220 And, um, you know what it is?

00:34:42.780 You've been there.

00:34:43.440 I mean, I used to, I've been super high in a very small pickup truck.

00:34:46.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:47.340 You know what hot boxing is. 0.97

00:34:48.700 The other hot box.

00:34:49.800 Yeah.

00:34:50.000 And I've not been able to get out.

00:34:51.460 So yeah, I've freaked out before one time in a truck and yeah, I almost kicked my way out of

00:34:55.000 a window of a full ranger.

00:34:56.580 Yeah.

00:34:57.060 Well, that's the way I felt because how camper trailer, um, shower doors are, they've got

00:35:01.620 the little latch on it so you can close it when we're traveling.

00:35:04.840 It's not like flinging open.

00:35:06.480 And I remember I was sitting there showering and it was ankle deep water.

00:35:11.840 My propane was running out.

00:35:13.300 So the water was cold.

00:35:14.580 My shower head fell off.

00:35:15.780 I'm showering with a water hose.

00:35:17.160 And then I'm like, you know what? 0.99

00:35:19.460 This is some shit, but whatever. 0.99

00:35:21.040 So I try to, you know, I'm just like, I'm going to get out of the shower. 0.99

00:35:24.860 And it's going to be a better day.

00:35:26.360 I get to go, you know, push on that door.

00:35:29.180 That dang latch had closed.

00:35:30.760 No.

00:35:31.260 I was stuck in there.

00:35:32.620 But you know what?

00:35:33.280 Them kickboxing lessons came in handy because I, pow.

00:35:36.500 Right out.

00:35:37.180 Pow.

00:35:37.540 God dang.

00:35:39.380 Woo.

00:35:39.860 Oh, put that cheek in there, boo. 1.00

00:35:41.860 Get that leopard leg.

00:35:43.140 I did.

00:35:43.800 I sure did.

00:35:44.920 Uh-huh.

00:35:45.720 Don't mess with me.

00:35:48.780 Dang.

00:35:49.560 Dude, I'm trying to think of, uh, yeah, my sister, I lived in a trailer for a long time

00:35:53.360 and she was so funny because like a branch fell in their trailer, right?

00:35:58.500 In Louisiana.

00:35:59.400 She lived out in Gonzales.

00:36:00.640 And she had such a positive attitude.

00:36:02.760 Like one day she sends me a picture.

00:36:04.080 There's a branch through their kitchen, right?

00:36:05.940 Through the kitchen.

00:36:07.760 And like one of her kids is like sitting on the other side of the counter eating cereal.

00:36:11.560 Like they're just so kind of nonchalant, right?

00:36:13.700 And there's a bird on the branch and she goes, look, Theo, look how beautiful, right?

00:36:18.740 And like, I'm like, I wish my perception of the world was like that.

00:36:22.060 Look how beautiful.

00:36:22.860 Right.

00:36:23.280 Look at this bird in our home, right?

00:36:25.240 Like, look how cool.

00:36:27.040 Wow.

00:36:27.700 Honestly, I feel like I just learned a lot from that story right there.

00:36:31.300 Yeah.

00:36:31.940 I mean, she just-

00:36:32.600 Seeing the good.

00:36:33.200 You got to see the good in everything.

00:36:34.580 Yeah.

00:36:34.760 She had the good going on.

00:36:38.300 So what else can I ask you about?

00:36:40.060 I mean, obviously with your career growing, it's crazy how quick you can get to places

00:36:44.400 where you're like, okay, I could maybe work with Miley Cyrus or I could maybe work with

00:36:48.580 Dolly Parton.

00:36:49.260 Like it's probably, like it's kind of like-

00:36:50.880 It's crazy.

00:36:51.840 That's wild.

00:36:52.280 It is wild.

00:36:53.420 And Mandolin and I, I mean, we've been working together, which is my manager for everybody

00:36:58.360 listening.

00:37:00.180 We've been working together for eight years.

00:37:04.120 Have y'all really?

00:37:04.800 Oh my gosh, we have.

00:37:05.820 Yeah.

00:37:06.000 And I mean, she was setting me up, co-writes and stuff when, I mean, nobody would give me

00:37:12.520 the time of day.

00:37:13.220 She's like, y'all got to listen to her.

00:37:14.460 And everybody's like, who?

00:37:15.140 No.

00:37:15.500 Sorry.

00:37:16.460 But we have, we've been like, I mean, we're best friends.

00:37:20.720 We work very closely together and we've dreamed up a lot of these things.

00:37:25.080 I mean, everything we put on our list for last year, we've accomplished that.

00:37:28.400 And then, then some.

00:37:29.600 So we were talking the other day.

00:37:31.260 It's really cool to be able to, to dream a little bit bigger.

00:37:35.160 It's like, my gosh, like, it's really not that far-fetched.

00:37:38.300 I mean, we got on a tour bus last June.

00:37:41.700 I've been traveling in a flatbed truck for 10 years, you know, and that seemed far-fetched.

00:37:48.060 And now here we are.

00:37:49.300 I mean, the wheels are turning and we're going to do it.

00:37:52.560 We're going to accomplish everything on our list this year.

00:37:55.560 Wow.

00:37:55.800 Yeah.

00:37:56.040 I love that.

00:37:56.900 I don't even think we've made a list, but we're going to make a list.

00:37:59.280 She's made the list.

00:38:00.140 Well, it's scary.

00:38:01.580 Yeah, she probably has.

00:38:02.680 That's good.

00:38:03.220 It's scary.

00:38:03.800 Like, yeah, making a list and realizing that you can actually, like, when you start to achieve

00:38:07.320 some of your dreams, it's kind of scary, kind of.

00:38:09.700 It is.

00:38:10.340 And I'll say, you know, I think I'm prepared for what's going on, but there's absolutely

00:38:17.340 another level of pressure to look good, sound good, be good, be on, be prepared for everything.

00:38:23.640 Yeah, be fancy enough.

00:38:25.020 Yeah.

00:38:25.580 Yeah, seem the right way.

00:38:27.140 But some of that, I think, is also a trap, I think, especially, I feel like, with country

00:38:32.200 music.

00:38:32.660 I feel like people come there because they want, I love stories, right?

00:38:37.440 Yeah.

00:38:37.520 And so that's why I think I love a lot of country and singer-songwriter stuff is because

00:38:41.560 I want to know the story.

00:38:43.440 I just want to hear the story a lot of times.

00:38:45.380 Yeah.

00:38:45.420 That's right.

00:38:45.860 So I feel like it's at least a genre where, and a universe where you can be a little bit

00:38:52.380 more...

00:38:53.180 You can.

00:38:54.040 Normal?

00:38:54.720 Yeah.

00:38:55.340 You don't have to look like you got it all together.

00:38:57.720 Yeah.

00:38:58.280 In fact...

00:38:58.320 I don't.

00:38:58.760 I'll tell you that.

00:38:59.460 I do not.

00:39:01.080 And...

00:39:01.360 Yeah, the less you have it together, the better.

00:39:02.700 I mean, look, Morgan's an example, right?

00:39:04.320 You know what I'm saying?

00:39:04.800 Morgan is like...

00:39:05.760 He's relatable and...

00:39:07.020 Yeah.

00:39:07.520 He stays...

00:39:08.360 I mean, hell, he lived in like a duple... 0.99

00:39:14.020 I was like, how do you live here?

00:39:15.480 Like, you can't...

00:39:16.440 Yeah.

00:39:16.920 You're too popular to live here.

00:39:18.800 Yeah.

00:39:18.980 Right?

00:39:19.580 Yeah.

00:39:19.880 But he tries to stay as relatable as possible.

00:39:23.200 Yeah.

00:39:23.560 I think he does a good job of that.

00:39:25.140 A lot of those guys do now, you know?

00:39:27.300 I know.

00:39:27.480 Party.

00:39:27.820 John Party's kind of the same way.

00:39:29.240 He's out there feeding his animals and squirreling around.

00:39:31.400 I think you got to do things like that to...

00:39:34.320 I mean, if we're going to write about it, we got to do it.

00:39:37.020 Yeah.

00:39:37.420 I've had some experience with it, I think, you know?

00:39:39.520 That's right.

00:39:39.980 But that gets scary as your life gets bigger and busier.

00:39:42.760 It's like you don't have some of those same exact moments, you know?

00:39:46.140 For sure.

00:39:47.060 I did just buy me some land here around Nashville that I'm excited to, you know, kind of get

00:39:53.000 back to some of that.

00:39:53.780 Because when I first got here, I mean, you just can't afford to have animals and you

00:40:00.920 can't afford to...

00:40:02.400 Oh, yeah.

00:40:03.080 It's expensive.

00:40:03.780 It's expensive.

00:40:04.880 Yeah.

00:40:05.240 Having an animal.

00:40:07.160 Yeah.

00:40:07.520 I'm trying to think of what kind of animal you would get.

00:40:10.040 I want to get me some horses.

00:40:11.180 You do?

00:40:11.760 I grew up on a horse and...

00:40:13.760 Can you be on a horse easily?

00:40:15.480 Oh, yeah.

00:40:16.160 Oh, really?

00:40:16.880 Oh, yeah.

00:40:18.060 I definitely...

00:40:19.040 I mean, we rodeoed a little bit.

00:40:20.500 Me and my sister, we were PRCA rodeo flag girls.

00:40:24.140 No.

00:40:24.340 What is it? 0.99

00:40:24.920 That big old butt stayed as in a saddle, you know what I'm talking about? 0.99

00:40:27.440 Oh, really? 0.99

00:40:29.360 Now, is your sister pretty cheeked up or what's going on with her? 1.00

00:40:31.920 Oh, she's pretty cheeked up. 1.00

00:40:32.460 It ain't as far out, but it's definitely as far this way.

00:40:35.740 Okay.

00:40:36.260 Okay.

00:40:36.660 Okay.

00:40:36.940 You know what I'm saying?

00:40:37.260 Yeah.

00:40:37.640 I like that.

00:40:38.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:38.460 So she ain't going nowhere in the saddle either.

00:40:40.340 She got that J in the tray, baby.

00:40:42.280 That's what I like.

00:40:43.220 Yeah.

00:40:43.580 And her name is Janna, so...

00:40:45.040 Is it?

00:40:45.540 Yep.

00:40:46.200 Janna.

00:40:46.820 Janna.

00:40:47.480 And does she have a couple children or not? 0.76

00:40:48.860 She does.

00:40:49.460 Oh, yeah.

00:40:50.100 She's got two little boys, Knox and Ledger.

00:40:52.380 Oh, wow.

00:40:53.260 And they are bad.

00:40:55.180 Yeah?

00:40:55.700 They're cute, but they're bad.

00:40:56.940 They live in Louisiana?

00:40:57.780 They live in Louisiana.

00:40:58.460 Oh, God. 1.00

00:40:58.860 They sound like damn train robbers. 1.00

00:41:00.560 Uh-huh. 1.00

00:41:01.320 They probably will be.

00:41:02.320 Yeah, I know.

00:41:03.700 They probably will be.

00:41:04.940 Now, I love them to death, and they got to come to a show.

00:41:09.820 I was doing with Luke Combs out in Oklahoma City.

00:41:11.800 That was the first show that the boys got to see.

00:41:13.840 Oh, wow.

00:41:14.240 And I think they were, like, they had a little bit of an idea what Aunt Wayne does, but not

00:41:19.580 really until they got to see it, and I think they were a little bit like, oh, okay.

00:41:24.360 And now they're dancing around the house, singing in the broomsticks, and I'm like, uh-oh, maybe

00:41:29.520 they got bit by the bug.

00:41:30.980 That's how it starts, I think.

00:41:32.420 Yeah.

00:41:32.580 You know, you have to be influenced by something.

00:41:34.320 Something kind of has to, like, physically connect you to things sometimes to know it even

00:41:38.560 exists.

00:41:39.200 Yep.

00:41:39.420 I remember the first time that I saw a comedy, I didn't know comedy really existed.

00:41:42.840 I mean, I'd seen it on television and stuff, but that wasn't enough for me to really get

00:41:47.400 an idea of it.

00:41:48.520 Yeah.

00:41:48.780 And then somebody took me to a comedy show in college, and I was like, oh, my gosh.

00:41:52.420 And that's where it, yeah.

00:41:53.620 Like, this is a real thing.

00:41:55.220 I was watching this guy, and I was like, this is a real thing that people do.

00:41:59.780 Wow.

00:42:00.280 You know?

00:42:01.360 Wow.

00:42:01.680 Did you guys have, like, a big festival in y'all's town?

00:42:04.540 Because in Louisiana, like-

00:42:05.720 They know them for the festivals.

00:42:06.920 Oh, Louisiana won't throw anything.

00:42:07.700 We got a festival for everything.

00:42:09.120 I mean, literally, I went down to, went down over wherever you want to say it's at.

00:42:15.740 We did the Rose Bowl parade in L.A., and I got to be on the Louisiana float and represent

00:42:22.820 Louisiana.

00:42:23.480 You did.

00:42:24.100 So, and there were lots of queens, and I mean, there was the crawfish queen, there was

00:42:28.360 a catfish queen, there was the frog queen, turtle queen, duck queen.

00:42:32.760 Locust, frog.

00:42:33.560 I mean, queens everywhere, but-

00:42:36.120 Raby, yeah, raccoon.

00:42:37.320 And you're like, raccoon?

00:42:38.240 Yeah, I'm like, okay, that's all right.

00:42:40.220 It's just some guy up there, like, with one of those tank top sunburns on.

00:42:45.660 You're like, that's-

00:42:46.580 One of my favorite stories about my sister is she was trying to do a pageant for the, 1.00

00:42:53.740 what was it?

00:42:54.760 Oh, yeah.

00:42:55.060 The Watermelon Festival.

00:42:56.240 Mm-hmm.

00:42:56.640 And she gets out there, and she's, you know, trying to change her accent and stuff, and

00:43:02.240 she's like, I'm Janna Wilson, Conkesca Kent number three. 0.99

00:43:06.620 And then she goes, shit, in the microphone. 1.00

00:43:10.540 Conkesca Kent. 1.00

00:43:12.040 She didn't win.

00:43:13.300 She didn't win.

00:43:14.160 But we had, the Catfish Festival was in Winsboro.

00:43:17.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:43:20.260 Conkesca Kent.

00:43:21.020 That's crazy.

00:43:22.280 You know, you're under pressure.

00:43:23.460 Sometimes you just- 1.00

00:43:24.740 If she said shit, I'd have given her a 10. 1.00

00:43:26.700 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:43:27.780 You should have been the judge, because I think they were like, no, she ain't no queen.

00:43:33.980 Conkesca Kent.

00:43:34.540 She was in another pageant, too.

00:43:36.640 It was like Junior Miss or something, and they were like, what does going green mean to you?

00:43:42.600 And she goes, don't pollute.

00:43:46.340 And then walks off.

00:43:47.320 She didn't win that one, either.

00:43:49.940 She didn't win that one, either.

00:43:52.200 I won Franklin Parish Farm Bureau Queen.

00:43:54.380 Did you?

00:43:55.800 I mean, yeah, that was just like the thing to do.

00:43:57.800 I mean, I believe you.

00:43:58.100 You're just like, ooh.

00:44:01.160 I did.

00:44:01.860 I was trying to sound really amped.

00:44:03.520 I mean, I bet, but there was a couple broads at loss that are still a little bit TO'd about it. 0.99

00:44:08.580 They probably are.

00:44:09.360 Yeah.

00:44:09.920 They probably are.

00:44:10.720 My question was like, you know, what does agriculture mean to you or something like that?

00:44:16.560 And I think the line that really got them was, I was like, agriculture is the backbone of America. 0.99

00:44:22.100 Oh, damn. 0.99

00:44:23.020 And then they were like, oh, yeah, we're giving her the crown. 1.00

00:44:25.140 Dude, I lost a spelling bee in fifth grade.

00:44:30.760 I'm not even joking to a girl who was the same year, got pregnant and quit school.

00:44:38.920 Really?

00:44:39.580 Yeah.

00:44:39.920 She was older.

00:44:40.760 So she wasn't, you know, fifth grade age.

00:44:43.020 She was probably eighth grade age.

00:44:44.580 What was the word that you didn't know how to spell?

00:44:46.640 Her name was Helena, I remember, and I couldn't do inconvenience.

00:44:51.660 Well, I wouldn't be able to do that anyway either.

00:44:53.760 I'm like.

00:44:54.660 I couldn't handle it. 0.99

00:44:55.840 Damn, I couldn't handle that pressure. 0.99

00:44:57.860 Mm-mm. 1.00

00:44:58.420 Oh, God, dude.

00:44:59.280 And I still feel every time it comes up, I just.

00:45:01.420 It just takes you back.

00:45:02.740 God, yeah.

00:45:03.340 And then I started thinking about her and her child every time I hear that word.

00:45:07.480 And you go down rabbit holes, I know.

00:45:09.160 Yeah.

00:45:09.660 It's really inconvenient.

00:45:11.120 So, yeah, so it gets a little wild.

00:45:14.320 That was funny.

00:45:15.580 I'm going to Louisiana this week, actually.

00:45:17.820 I got shows in Shreveport in Baton Rouge.

00:45:19.460 You going to get you some crawfish?

00:45:21.140 Maybe some oysters, I guess.

00:45:22.960 Okay.

00:45:24.540 Are you into crawfish?

00:45:25.220 And if you guys can hear on this, apparently a neighbor is, we're in Gaza, I think.

00:45:30.020 We're like literally in Baghdad.

00:45:31.560 I feel like.

00:45:32.280 Something going on over there.

00:45:33.580 Only two times have we ever had like real issues here in this when Jelly Roll was here.

00:45:39.020 Well.

00:45:39.420 And then today.

00:45:39.920 I saw Jelly Roll last night.

00:45:41.380 You did?

00:45:41.900 So I must be bringing in the juju.

00:45:44.780 Really?

00:45:45.060 I love me some Jelly.

00:45:46.340 Oh, I love Jelly.

00:45:47.420 I just, I worry about his health though.

00:45:49.500 Did he look pretty good?

00:45:50.440 He looked good.

00:45:51.600 He looked like he was feeling good.

00:45:52.960 I mean, he, yeah, he's, he's one of my favorites.

00:45:56.480 We're on the same label.

00:45:57.480 Oh, y'all are.

00:45:58.160 Yeah.

00:45:58.340 He said the reason he knew he wanted to be a part of that label.

00:46:01.940 He said, because I, I got on the website and I looked to see, you know, the roster. 0.99

00:46:05.680 He said, I saw Laney's old redneck hippie ass. 1.00

00:46:08.700 We're trying to wear bell-bottom stuff. 0.98

00:46:10.160 And then I saw, you know, Jimmy Allen.

00:46:12.360 And then I saw Frank Ray, he's an ex-Mexican cop.

00:46:16.280 And then I saw, who else was it?

00:46:18.620 He said, it just looked like a halfway house.

00:46:20.820 He said, and I said, this is the place for me.

00:46:24.340 I'm like, perfect.

00:46:25.440 I'll take that.

00:46:26.380 He's the best, man. 0.94

00:46:27.940 A bunch of misfits.

00:46:29.120 People love him.

00:46:30.800 He's so, I mean, there ain't nobody like him.

00:46:33.880 Nope.

00:46:34.980 He is just him.

00:46:36.960 Yeah.

00:46:37.440 He's like a, yeah, there's nobody like him.

00:46:41.240 And just his stories.

00:46:43.840 Yeah.

00:46:44.360 And you, you get, you want to, and you love him.

00:46:46.980 Like the music obviously is great.

00:46:48.500 And he's had a, he even had a number one.

00:46:50.420 I mean, how far did his son of a sinner go? 1.00

00:46:52.840 It's so good.

00:46:53.680 It did go number one.

00:46:56.520 It's so good.

00:46:58.660 Yep.

00:47:00.880 But yeah, there's just something about him and he's got so many great stories.

00:47:04.300 He just, just everything about him.

00:47:06.000 I know.

00:47:06.300 It's like, even if the music wasn't good, you'd still want to root for him, but it's just a

00:47:09.400 plus that the music is good.

00:47:11.660 Um, yeah, I think there's just, yeah, you just love him so much.

00:47:15.340 I think that's, that's the, there's, I feel like there's two types of artists in, in almost

00:47:19.420 any genre.

00:47:20.000 I think you're, or in any like template of art, you're either like people are there for

00:47:26.520 you or they're there for the art.

00:47:29.320 That's right.

00:47:29.780 And sometimes it's both.

00:47:30.840 And sometimes, yeah, you're right.

00:47:32.680 But some guys it's like you get, are you, or your reason you get into them is one or

00:47:36.580 the other.

00:47:37.200 I know.

00:47:38.120 I mean, it's just, yeah.

00:47:39.100 Cause sometimes it's like, I like the person so much.

00:47:41.920 I almost don't care what they make.

00:47:43.820 I agree.

00:47:45.120 I mean, I got some buddies and I'm like, Ooh, that is, but I love you.

00:47:52.860 But I love you.

00:47:55.580 Um, yeah, but I'm gonna get some oysters actually.

00:47:58.280 So I'm excited about that.

00:47:59.160 I think.

00:48:00.280 But oysters are so weird.

00:48:02.580 Oysters are like, I think they're supposed to not be eaten.

00:48:05.260 I, here's the thing for me, it like depends on the day and I'm kind of the same way with

00:48:11.640 sushi too.

00:48:12.560 It just depends on the day whether I can actually do them raw or not.

00:48:15.600 Yeah.

00:48:16.120 Um, I will say if you haven't been in Hendersonville, there's a place called Moby Dickies.

00:48:21.680 It's on the water and I wouldn't normally like eat oysters around here, but, um, they

00:48:27.660 have some really good.

00:48:28.940 But why wouldn't you eat them around here?

00:48:30.600 I don't know.

00:48:31.160 I mean, I just feel like eating them in South Louisiana is probably a little bit better.

00:48:34.580 That's true.

00:48:36.000 Yeah.

00:48:36.280 It seemed like they, how'd they get up here?

00:48:37.840 You know, did they Uber?

00:48:38.860 Yeah.

00:48:39.360 I think they Ubered.

00:48:41.020 I don't know.

00:48:41.340 They might've lift.

00:48:42.280 They use lift for sure. 0.95

00:48:43.520 Yeah.

00:48:43.620 Oysters seem like they use lift. 1.00

00:48:44.620 Yeah.

00:48:44.820 They definitely lift them.

00:48:45.600 Because oysters aren't supposed to be eaten.

00:48:47.400 First of all, who would eat? 0.90

00:48:49.240 If you, I can't imagine, you'd have to be, I feel like some type of pedophile or something 0.99

00:48:55.800 to open something that small and put your dang tongue in. 0.98

00:48:58.580 No, you're right.

00:48:59.500 It's a little bit.

00:49:00.960 It's a little bit weird.

00:49:02.540 Yeah.

00:49:02.800 I think we all might be a little weird.

00:49:04.780 It's a little, I mean, it's like, cause it's just so small.

00:49:07.500 I just, I don't know.

00:49:08.800 Every time I open them, I feel bad.

00:49:10.620 But I tell you what, I feel like I'm from Louisiana every time I do it.

00:49:13.880 I'm like, I'm doing this cause I'm from Louisiana.

00:49:16.540 You know?

00:49:17.140 Yeah.

00:49:18.620 Crawfish though.

00:49:19.880 I mean, I could, I'll make a special trip home just to go get me some crawfish.

00:49:23.800 Yeah.

00:49:25.080 Yeah.

00:49:25.400 But that oyster, every time I open it, I feel like it's parents aren't home, you know?

00:49:28.320 Yeah.

00:49:28.540 Yeah.

00:49:28.740 Yeah.

00:49:28.980 I just feel like such a, I just feel bad.

00:49:32.020 Just nasty.

00:49:33.080 I mean, I won't say nasty, but I feel.

00:49:35.420 Just nasty.

00:49:36.480 I feel a little bit like a creep kind of.

00:49:38.660 I agree.

00:49:40.080 So you got into some acting, right?

00:49:42.420 Yeah.

00:49:43.700 How has that been like?

00:49:44.940 And what was that like?

00:49:45.560 Because also the main character in, oh no, not Yellowstone.

00:49:51.720 I'm thinking of that show, 1942.

00:49:53.360 Have you seen it?

00:49:53.800 It's 1732.

00:49:55.060 What is it called?

00:49:56.120 1650.

00:49:56.440 Well, there's a.

00:49:57.660 You know what I'm talking about?

00:49:58.240 Yeah.

00:49:58.440 Yeah.

00:49:58.560 There's several of them.

00:50:00.380 1923.

00:50:00.760 1923.

00:50:01.860 1923.

00:50:02.260 I was going to say too, sorry, I interrupted you now.

00:50:04.580 The first time you met Jelly Roll was your first acting gig, really.

00:50:07.980 Oh, it's true.

00:50:09.000 Yeah.

00:50:09.260 Let's talk about that real quick.

00:50:10.700 Okay.

00:50:10.980 The first time you met Jelly Roll and Mandolin is her manager.

00:50:15.440 She's here and she just chimed in and just said the first time she met Jelly Roll was,

00:50:19.420 you guys acted together.

00:50:21.120 No, I was pretty much an extra in a music video that he was doing with Uncle Cracker.

00:50:26.300 No.

00:50:26.700 And they told me earlier that day, they were like, we'll pay you $100 if you come out here

00:50:31.420 for the day and act like a drunk person passed out on the ground.

00:50:34.500 I did it and I never got my $100.

00:50:36.500 You did it?

00:50:37.520 Yeah.

00:50:37.940 I don't even know if I've told Jelly that I didn't get my $100.

00:50:41.160 Dude, I'm going to tell him.

00:50:42.280 He better Venmo me.

00:50:43.240 I know.

00:50:43.940 He better.

00:50:44.820 Uh-huh.

00:50:45.880 But.

00:50:46.600 Uncle Cracker passed away, didn't he?

00:50:48.820 I don't.

00:50:49.420 Did he?

00:50:50.700 I don't know.

00:50:51.560 I don't think he did.

00:50:52.960 He might have.

00:50:53.520 People don't know.

00:50:56.700 I feel like he's one of those people that just could have passed away and you don't

00:51:01.240 know, you know?

00:51:03.300 Yep.

00:51:04.260 Yep, yep, yep.

00:51:05.040 I don't know.

00:51:05.540 Everybody I feel like who spent time with Kid Rock ends up dying.

00:51:09.820 I better not hang out with him then.

00:51:12.280 No, I'm joking.

00:51:13.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:51:14.140 I love Bob.

00:51:14.160 Bob is a nice guy.

00:51:17.360 But, okay, so tell me about.

00:51:19.120 Oh, no, but the man I'm thinking of is from Louisiana.

00:51:21.780 He was an actor on that show, 1940, uh, Faith's, uh.

00:51:30.300 You talking about Tim McGraw?

00:51:31.120 Tim McGraw.

00:51:32.000 Oh, 1883, you're talking about.

00:51:33.540 Okay, okay, okay.

00:51:34.700 Sorry, I thought you were talking about 19-something.

00:51:37.300 Thank you, yeah.

00:51:38.020 Tim McGraw, he's actually from, like, start Louisiana, but I had some grandparents that

00:51:45.240 lived in Ward 3, Louisiana, and he got brought home from the hospital to, like, a little

00:51:49.820 house that was in Ward 3, and my step-grandmother used to babysit him.

00:51:53.580 Really?

00:51:54.080 I've never met Tim either.

00:51:55.740 Wow.

00:51:56.300 But we know a lot of the same people.

00:51:58.160 Ward 3, that's a town?

00:51:59.680 Ward 3.

00:52:01.060 Dang, you know some small towns.

00:52:03.680 Uh-huh.

00:52:04.640 We had, wow.

00:52:06.100 So your grandmother used to babysit him?

00:52:07.900 My step-grandma, yep.

00:52:09.040 And what'd she say about him, anything?

00:52:10.780 I mean, he was, like, a tiny, tiny baby.

00:52:13.400 But still, you can, I think, even look at it in a baby.

00:52:15.560 She said, I knew he was a star.

00:52:16.740 And is this it right here?

00:52:17.720 Let me see.

00:52:18.200 Third Ward?

00:52:18.880 No, that's Third Ward of New Orleans, dude.

00:52:20.860 That is.

00:52:21.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:22.460 Ward 3, it's just like.

00:52:24.240 Yeah, the Third Ward, I think, that's where Little Wayne is from.

00:52:26.400 Ward 3, Louisiana.

00:52:27.400 Who knows?

00:52:27.860 It's even, like, an actual official name of a town, but that's what they call it.

00:52:31.600 Wow, Ward 3.

00:52:32.560 It's, like, Crowville, Louisiana, and then right outside of it is Ward 3.

00:52:36.900 Dude, I met a girl one time.

00:52:38.720 We had, like, the student council thing, and, like, all the representatives.

00:52:41.540 It was at our school in high school, right?

00:52:43.380 And so I think I was on the student council.

00:52:45.560 I don't even know what I was doing, but I was there.

00:52:48.060 And they had, like, all these kids came from other places, and I met some girl from Rain, Louisiana.

00:52:54.240 Where is that?

00:52:54.860 I don't know.

00:52:55.320 I'd never heard of it.

00:52:56.600 Rain.

00:52:57.280 But I was like, oh, my God.

00:52:58.560 Sounds pretty magical.

00:52:59.540 You are beautiful.

00:53:00.620 I remember this thinking.

00:53:02.000 And I just wrote a big piece of poster board that said, you are beautiful.

00:53:04.640 No, you did not.

00:53:05.240 I did.

00:53:06.400 And I gave it to her.

00:53:08.280 I gave it to her.

00:53:09.520 As you're sitting there opening up an oyster.

00:53:12.860 You are beautiful.

00:53:14.920 I've got a warm oyster for you, boo.

00:53:17.600 But I remember, yeah.

00:53:18.980 And she said, you should come to the Frog Festival sometime.

00:53:22.700 Ooh.

00:53:23.260 And I was like, I'll start jumping now to get there.

00:53:27.380 Because it was far away.

00:53:28.460 It was, like, kind of, it was far away.

00:53:32.480 And I never, I think we called each other one time at night, and that was it.

00:53:37.840 That was it.

00:53:38.520 I remember I used to write down things on a notepad of what to talk about when I was, like,

00:53:43.500 talking on the phone in high school or junior high, whatever it was.

00:53:46.920 I'd be like, ask him if he caught any frogs while he was frog gigging.

00:53:49.600 Ask him how many frogs did he gig.

00:53:52.540 Ask him, did he have fun?

00:53:54.760 I'm like, do you not know how to have a conversation?

00:53:57.700 Yeah.

00:53:58.080 I know, I know.

00:53:59.300 Lord.

00:54:00.700 But sometimes you don't.

00:54:02.140 I think sometimes you don't know how to have a conversation.

00:54:04.400 No.

00:54:04.560 Especially when you're young and you're, like, talking to the opposite sex. 1.00

00:54:08.460 That's true.

00:54:08.480 And then my mom would get on. 0.99

00:54:10.580 Uh-huh.

00:54:10.920 And she would always be like, you need to go clean something.

00:54:13.960 Uh-huh.

00:54:14.040 And it would always be like, what?

00:54:15.900 Uh-huh.

00:54:16.080 When you were just getting to the good part.

00:54:17.520 Oh, there was never a good part, but I was just being alive on the phone with a woman.

00:54:21.940 I know.

00:54:22.580 And, oh, she always ruined it every time. 1.00

00:54:24.780 I remember being so nervous.

00:54:26.600 Yeah.

00:54:27.400 It was crazy.

00:54:28.400 Like, why?

00:54:29.960 Because I think it's just your first time doing it.

00:54:32.560 Like, you can't even replicate those nerves as you get.

00:54:35.020 It's like, I mean, you're, you're like, you don't even know what's going on.

00:54:39.880 Yeah.

00:54:40.680 You're like embarrassed.

00:54:42.500 Also, you're embarrassed.

00:54:43.160 It is.

00:54:43.380 It's embarrassing.

00:54:44.520 Yes.

00:54:44.960 You're almost embarrassed of who you are.

00:54:47.760 Like, how uncomfortable you are.

00:54:50.240 But, yes.

00:54:51.580 That's very embarrassing.

00:54:53.280 I remember that.

00:54:55.640 Like, who am I?

00:54:57.160 I don't know.

00:54:58.100 Yeah.

00:54:58.200 How am I doing?

00:54:59.000 What do I do?

00:55:00.240 I know.

00:55:00.540 And then seeing a girl at school, like, or that was always weird.

00:55:03.880 And then you, like, had to see in between class.

00:55:07.000 So you, like.

00:55:07.540 And you, like, don't know if you need to make eye contact going down the hall.

00:55:10.320 Yeah.

00:55:11.180 And you just scream, like, I love you.

00:55:13.320 You just scream something insane.

00:55:14.540 Yeah.

00:55:14.780 Like, you're like, what?

00:58:26.240 There was Valentine's Day.

00:58:29.060 I was in seventh grade, I believe.

00:58:31.200 I just switched schools.

00:58:32.800 And this boy, I don't know if he had a crush on me, but this ain't the way to let me know if he did.

00:58:38.800 But it was Valentine's Day.

00:58:40.400 And he goes, Laney Wilson.

00:58:43.620 You know, everybody kind of turns around.

00:58:45.380 And he goes, roses are red.

00:58:47.600 Violents are black. 1.00

00:58:48.820 Why is your chest as flat as your back? 0.73

00:58:51.400 No way.

00:58:53.220 And I was like, yep.

00:58:55.260 That's honestly pretty good.

00:58:56.580 I'm going to write that one down.

00:58:57.980 I couldn't help, you know, being a songwriter.

00:59:00.040 I was like, that's pretty good.

00:59:01.680 Like, that's...

00:59:02.460 You're like, that's copywritten.

00:59:06.620 That's it.

00:59:07.500 Yeah.

00:59:08.720 Dang.

00:59:10.160 Shouting stuff down the halls.

00:59:11.760 I remember those days.

00:59:13.380 Oh, yeah.

00:59:14.080 And I would always lie to my friends.

00:59:15.940 And I would say that I had a girlfriend that lived in another town.

00:59:18.800 And I remember doing that.

00:59:20.740 And then my first girlfriend, she played softball.

00:59:23.960 Uh-oh.

00:59:24.480 And she was strong.

00:59:26.280 Mm-hmm.

00:59:26.800 God, she was strong. 0.99

00:59:28.260 Whoop that butt. 1.00

00:59:29.120 And I think she was a woman. 0.99

00:59:30.680 Yeah.

00:59:30.880 You know?

00:59:31.360 And she... 1.00

00:59:31.800 I remember the bus would come by.

00:59:33.980 She would pick me up and, like, kiss me when the bus would come by.

00:59:39.680 Uh-uh.

00:59:39.700 Pick you up?

00:59:40.540 Yeah.

00:59:41.100 She was strong.

00:59:43.280 And literally...

00:59:44.140 I wonder where she's at nowadays.

00:59:45.940 Oh, I'm sure she is...

00:59:48.160 You think she's coaching?

00:59:50.060 I don't know.

00:59:51.640 Oh, yeah.

00:59:52.360 You should look her up.

00:59:53.200 But she's coaching some man. 1.00

00:59:55.540 Yeah, yeah. 0.98

00:59:56.160 She's whooping somebody butt. 1.00

00:59:57.780 Yeah, she's... 0.99

00:59:58.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:59:59.420 This kid...

00:59:59.860 She could be doing chocolate body contests. 1.00

01:00:01.340 Uh-huh.

01:00:01.360 Who knows?

01:00:02.160 That's her. 0.88

01:00:02.920 But she remember...

01:00:03.840 And I remember she would even wrap my legs around her waist.

01:00:07.300 She was, like...

01:00:08.400 She was... 0.97

01:00:08.900 And you loved it.

01:00:09.960 I didn't have...

01:00:10.980 I was scared.

01:00:12.680 I was scared, man.

01:00:14.100 And then the worst part was the bus would be there and my brother and his friends.

01:00:18.540 And they would yell stuff at us out of the bus.

01:00:23.200 When you were just sitting there and just on her like a baby.

01:00:26.680 Had you on her hip. 0.95

01:00:28.220 I didn't want to be...

01:00:29.060 I just...

01:00:29.480 Yeah, I just didn't have any other choice.

01:00:31.200 She was so strong.

01:00:32.260 Yeah.

01:00:32.760 She played second base and mid... 0.96

01:00:34.960 Middle field and just outfield.

01:00:36.740 Yeah.

01:00:36.940 God, she was strong.

01:00:38.900 Big old stronger.

01:00:39.140 And I think she drove.

01:00:40.220 I'm like, how do you drive?

01:00:41.440 Like, we don't even...

01:00:42.420 Yeah.

01:00:43.260 But she was just so strong.

01:00:44.980 Me and my sister used to drive to school.

01:00:47.440 We were...

01:00:48.320 I was 13.

01:00:49.020 So she was a little older?

01:00:50.740 And we would park at the hospital and then walk across the street to the school.

01:00:55.680 Oh, yeah.

01:00:56.500 It was such a big adventure, wasn't it?

01:00:58.080 Oh, it was.

01:00:58.760 And we'd stop by the convenience store in Baskin, get them Crespitos or one of them deep-fried

01:01:03.000 Hot Pockets and...

01:01:04.360 Oh, they deep-fried a Hot Pocket?

01:01:06.120 Yes.

01:01:07.080 God.

01:01:07.580 They ain't doing that in South Louisiana?

01:01:09.160 I don't think so.

01:01:10.100 I feel like if you went to the gas station, it was a lot more like chicken tenders.

01:01:14.720 And like, I remember they had like a homemade root beer somebody did for a while, but it

01:01:18.180 was bad.

01:01:19.260 Ooh.

01:01:20.040 And people were getting sick.

01:01:23.060 It wouldn't stop me from getting it.

01:01:25.180 Oh, yeah.

01:01:25.860 I mean, we drank it for months.

01:01:27.240 Yeah, but we were sick.

01:01:28.760 People were ill, yeah.

01:01:29.880 People's hair was falling out.

01:01:31.220 It was a bad batch.

01:01:32.340 But it's still good.

01:01:33.580 I think it had like Monsanto in or something.

01:01:36.280 It was bad.

01:01:36.800 It was a bad batch.

01:01:40.060 What was that article?

01:01:41.200 Oh, a couple monkeys got...

01:01:42.400 They got two monkeys that have been taken from a zoo.

01:01:47.020 Uh-oh.

01:01:47.560 Did y'all have a zoo in Baskin?

01:01:49.000 No, we did in Monroe.

01:01:50.600 And did y'all have an animal petting facility?

01:01:52.660 Because we didn't have a zoo, but we had an animal petting facility that was nearby where

01:01:55.680 you could go and pet them, you know?

01:01:56.860 I think they ended up getting one of those after I had already gone.

01:02:01.080 Not in Winsboro, but kind of like on the outskirts.

01:02:03.360 Kind of like a little safari, like drive-through safari thing.

01:02:05.820 Yeah, yeah.

01:02:06.880 It's like a petting zoo, kind of?

01:02:08.480 Yeah, which I've never been.

01:02:10.220 You've never been to a petting zoo?

01:02:11.220 No.

01:02:11.480 No.

01:02:13.060 I feel like my house was a little bit of a petting zoo.

01:02:15.880 Really?

01:02:16.440 But I mean, we had horses and a lot of like family members and stuff would have other

01:02:22.000 goats and sheep and chickens and whatever.

01:02:24.820 And did y'all have like a cook shed in the back and stuff?

01:02:26.780 Did you guys like...

01:02:28.080 Because some people have that in Louisiana, they have like a cook shed, you know?

01:02:31.940 I mean, we would honestly, we'd go to the tractor shed at my granny's house and we'd, yeah,

01:02:38.540 that's, they would fry up some stuff.

01:02:40.760 I feel like somebody was always cooking something.

01:02:42.660 Yeah.

01:02:43.120 You know?

01:02:43.900 Yeah, it's popular.

01:02:45.400 People like to grill, cook, and kill something and then just cook it.

01:02:49.820 Yep.

01:02:50.460 Did your, are your grandparents still married?

01:02:52.740 Are your parents still married?

01:02:54.340 Yep.

01:02:54.540 Oh, wow.

01:02:55.420 They are.

01:02:56.260 They are.

01:02:56.680 They've been married 36 years.

01:03:00.040 Oh, dang.

01:03:01.020 I believe.

01:03:01.820 Yep.

01:03:02.140 My mom and daddy met.

01:03:03.100 She was 19 years old and no, they got married when she was 19.

01:03:08.380 I think she met him when she was like 17 or something like that.

01:03:11.120 Yeah.

01:03:11.500 He was going to college and, yep, he swept her right off her feet. 0.51

01:03:16.280 They crazy. 0.98

01:03:17.060 They did good kind of crazy, but they crazy. 0.99

01:03:19.740 Yeah.

01:03:20.160 I remember like in, even in like junior high, they'd have like older men or like guys would

01:03:26.380 come and like bring like McDonald's to like the girls at our school and put it over the 1.00

01:03:32.840 fence.

01:03:33.420 And that was like...

01:03:33.840 And that'd make them fall in love for real.

01:03:35.620 That was true love, dude.

01:03:36.460 Give me a McMuffin.

01:03:38.320 That's all.

01:03:38.820 That's it.

01:03:39.400 The second we saw like a girl from our school walk over to the fence to get fast food from 0.99

01:03:44.000 an adult, we knew we lost her.

01:03:47.800 She gone.

01:03:48.580 Oh.

01:03:50.260 She gone.

01:03:51.460 Oh my God.

01:03:52.080 It was bad.

01:03:53.040 I just remember because you'd see the car pull up and you'd see him get out, you know,

01:03:56.860 and you'd hear his boots hitting the ground.

01:03:59.080 Like I can't do that.

01:04:00.140 Like I can't offer her that.

01:04:01.240 Oh, I have nothing, you know.

01:04:03.100 It's over.

01:04:03.800 Yeah.

01:04:04.200 I'm over here, yeah, just having me a little handful of runts that I bummed off a buddy.

01:04:08.940 Uh-huh.

01:04:09.600 And she's over there and then she'd walk, whoever it was would walk out and be like,

01:04:13.760 God, no.

01:04:14.660 Uh-huh.

01:04:15.100 They got Amber.

01:04:16.260 And she kind of showing it off a little bit, you know.

01:04:18.160 Oh, yeah.

01:04:18.280 Like everybody's like, how did you get that?

01:04:19.740 Yeah.

01:04:20.740 It was just the biggest deal.

01:04:22.160 Yeah.

01:04:22.800 God, if you had food from somewhere else at lunch.

01:04:24.920 It was cool.

01:04:25.500 You were like someone that had gone to outer space.

01:04:30.420 Truly.

01:04:31.320 And everybody's looking at you like you're the center of attention for the meal.

01:04:34.920 It was good stuff, yeah.

01:04:37.500 That is so true.

01:04:39.060 It was just like, yeah, it was just little things like that, man.

01:04:42.800 Do you remember the first date that you ever went on?

01:04:46.480 Like where you went on an actual date?

01:04:48.300 Yep.

01:04:49.500 Went Red Lobster.

01:04:50.820 Ooh, yeah.

01:04:51.240 I ate some of them cheesy.

01:04:52.860 Have you had the cheesy biscuits from there?

01:04:54.120 Cheesy biscuits?

01:04:55.080 Yeah, someone killed their spouse over a batch of them.

01:04:57.280 Can you look that up?

01:04:57.940 Well, I can understand why.

01:05:00.260 I mean, they're...

01:05:02.000 Really?

01:05:03.320 You're for real?

01:05:04.000 That really happened?

01:05:04.820 Oh, yeah.

01:05:06.040 Oh, you can Google someone killed spouse over any food and there's something.

01:05:12.580 Now, that's crazy.

01:05:19.900 Keep looking.

01:05:21.720 So, y'all went there and what was it?

01:05:23.680 Did the guy pick you up?

01:05:25.220 Oh, no.

01:05:25.720 We were like real young.

01:05:27.060 It was like we went...

01:05:28.960 This is the guy that I dated pretty much my whole life.

01:05:30.900 He was like my childhood sweetheart.

01:05:32.260 Oh, yeah.

01:05:32.360 So, it was like his parents were sitting at another little booth kind of like watching us.

01:05:35.400 Mm-hmm.

01:05:36.360 But I remember he ordered crab legs and I remember he like...

01:05:41.820 What was he at?

01:05:42.220 A mayor?

01:05:44.940 Mm-mm.

01:05:46.280 No.

01:05:46.700 God.

01:05:47.760 But he cracked it and a piece of crab flew right in my hair and I was so embarrassed.

01:05:52.740 I was mortified.

01:05:54.020 I was over there just enjoying my cheesy biscuit and that dang crab landed in my hair. 0.98

01:05:58.420 And I'm like...

01:05:59.620 Oh, he's...

01:06:00.020 And I don't know why, but at 13 years old or however old I was, I was like, oh, he's not

01:06:04.280 going to like me anymore.

01:06:05.160 What do you...

01:06:05.560 Even though he did it to me.

01:06:07.420 Dude, in Southern Louisiana, that's like catching the bouquet at a wedding.

01:06:10.180 You're right.

01:06:10.560 You're right.

01:06:10.900 If you get a piece of crab stuck in your hair, that is dang good luck, I feel like.

01:06:16.180 I think you're right.

01:06:17.420 I didn't know to appreciate it then, but I do now.

01:06:20.740 That's hot magic.

01:06:21.980 Yep.

01:06:22.560 So, that was my first date.

01:06:25.060 And I think we got that...

01:06:27.160 They have like this big old chocolate chip cookie skillet.

01:06:30.920 Yeah.

01:06:33.020 Now, that right there, I could just eat that for my meal.

01:06:35.460 Oh, yeah.

01:06:36.820 Well, some places, you know, in the Midwest, they'll have pie first.

01:06:40.040 They'll be like, do you want your pie first before dinner to make sure you have room for it?

01:06:47.280 It's real common.

01:06:47.940 You walk into like a lot of diners there and they say, do you want your pie first?

01:06:51.260 Wow.

01:06:52.520 And I get it.

01:06:53.780 I mean, I'd rather have the pie too, but...

01:06:56.040 Yeah.

01:06:56.680 But to say...

01:06:57.780 Yeah, but it's just interesting.

01:06:59.660 I've seen that over there.

01:07:02.060 But speaking of like real official dates and stuff, I did not have like a real official date

01:07:08.920 until a few years ago when somebody, actually, Mandolin, manager, she was setting up my dates too.

01:07:16.340 Really?

01:07:16.740 Setting up my co-writes, setting up my dates.

01:07:18.480 She literally told her friend from school, she was like, Laney has never been on like an official,

01:07:23.920 like, you know, somebody ask you to go somewhere, like a first date.

01:07:29.160 Right.

01:07:29.520 Like an official date.

01:07:31.480 Because it's always been like I hung out with a dude or whatever and then we would go get some food.

01:07:36.120 Yeah.

01:07:36.780 But it was nice.

01:07:37.600 He showed me what it was supposed to be like and...

01:07:39.800 And did he pick you up?

01:07:42.020 Or you meet him there?

01:07:43.420 I met him there.

01:07:44.860 Okay.

01:07:45.160 Because it was a first date.

01:07:46.500 Yeah, I met him there.

01:07:47.020 That makes sense, kind of.

01:07:48.900 Yeah, I met him there.

01:07:49.960 But it was, he was a gentleman.

01:07:51.280 And did he, and did y'all, did he open the door?

01:07:58.160 Oh, yeah.

01:07:58.620 Like he walked me to my car and then, then we went and kind of, it was one of those things

01:08:02.840 where we knew neither one of us, we weren't going to date.

01:08:05.720 He was kind of just doing me a favor.

01:08:07.880 Okay, okay.

01:08:08.760 He's like, I'm going to take this girl out. 0.99

01:08:11.460 Like, he knows that I was just too much for him.

01:08:14.920 I mean, really.

01:08:15.720 Oh, really?

01:08:16.500 Yeah.

01:08:16.820 I mean, he's just...

01:08:17.320 Wow, what happened?

01:08:18.020 Was he very, I mean...

01:08:20.020 Was he small?

01:08:21.060 Yeah.

01:08:21.280 No, no, no, no, no.

01:08:22.480 Not small, but like, I'm just, I'm pretty sassy.

01:08:25.960 Are you?

01:08:26.620 And spicy. 1.00

01:08:27.600 Oh, darn. 0.99

01:08:28.180 Yeah. 0.99

01:08:28.820 I can't help it.

01:08:29.600 Really?

01:08:29.980 It's just that Louisiana thing.

01:08:31.360 Yeah.

01:08:31.840 And now, were you violent too, or no?

01:08:33.540 No.

01:08:34.180 Okay.

01:08:34.980 No, he fed me good.

01:08:36.500 Oh, that's good.

01:08:37.300 And yeah, you got to sedate him a little bit.

01:08:39.160 We knew, like, after we hung out, I was like, yeah, we'll be friends.

01:08:43.520 It'll be, you know, when we see each other, we'll catch back up and a good boy.

01:08:47.400 He showed me what it was supposed to be like.

01:08:49.460 Aw.

01:08:49.780 He showed me that, like, yeah, it's okay to still be traditional.

01:08:55.160 Yeah.

01:08:55.520 I like being traditional.

01:08:56.580 You do?

01:08:57.480 Yeah, I do.

01:08:58.360 Yeah, I like tradition, I think.

01:08:59.920 I like a lot of traditions in our country, I think.

01:09:04.980 You know?

01:09:05.280 I just think tradition is good stuff.

01:09:07.300 I think it's, like, it's nice to have, like, patterns and stuff, you know?

01:09:10.740 I agree.

01:09:11.940 I mean, at the end of the day, like, I can tend to myself and take care of, you know, like,

01:09:17.200 I don't need somebody to open up a door for me, whatever.

01:09:20.280 But every now and then, it's nice to feel like, yeah, that's very nice.

01:09:24.720 Yeah, I got it for you.

01:09:26.020 Yeah.

01:09:27.520 Do you remember the first time you ever had a kiss?

01:09:29.400 Do you remember it?

01:09:30.520 Yep.

01:09:30.920 I had braces.

01:09:32.120 Oh, dang.

01:09:32.740 We went in. 1.00

01:09:33.540 You would kiss somebody with braces on, man, a pervert. 1.00

01:09:36.400 I know, yeah. 1.00

01:09:37.140 That's pretty sick. 1.00

01:09:37.760 Somebody is a pervert, man. 1.00

01:09:38.740 That's pretty sick, bro. 1.00

01:09:40.500 Dang, bro.

01:09:41.420 Yep. 0.94

01:09:41.780 But, oh, if I'm kissing somebody with braces on, bro, take me to jail, bro. 0.68

01:09:47.300 Yep, yep, yep.

01:09:49.060 We were out in a little shop.

01:09:51.320 They were, like.

01:09:52.160 And what do you mean?

01:09:52.740 There's, like, machines and stuff around you?

01:09:53.860 Like, hammers and, you know, wrenches and stuff hanging along.

01:09:56.620 I was at my friend Katie's house, and her boyfriend had just left.

01:10:00.060 And I thought, tonight's the night.

01:10:02.180 I'm going in.

01:10:03.000 So you planned it.

01:10:04.120 Well, I knew it was happening.

01:10:05.580 Okay, right.

01:10:05.820 I could just tell how he was acting, like, he's going to try to kiss me tonight, so I need

01:10:09.220 to be prepared.

01:10:09.840 But I was a little too prepared, because when I tell you, I just opened my mouth up wide

01:10:14.820 and did this.

01:10:16.080 Me, too.

01:10:17.220 I literally was, like, trying to eat his face or something.

01:10:20.360 I don't know what, like, what made me think that I needed to just do this?

01:10:26.700 That ain't how it goes.

01:10:28.240 It took me a minute.

01:10:29.740 But it didn't run him off.

01:10:31.440 Really?

01:10:31.940 He liked it.

01:10:33.080 Well, yeah, look, if some chick comes at me with an open mouth, I think I'm going to 1.00

01:10:36.600 figure it out, you know?

01:10:37.980 That would terrify me.

01:10:40.400 Oh, that's spooky.

01:10:41.880 That happened to me.

01:10:42.640 I was playing.

01:10:43.120 We played Spin the Bottle in this girl I loved.

01:10:46.840 Oh, my God.

01:10:48.400 And he messed it up with that kiss?

01:10:50.560 I'm like, there's no way.

01:10:52.260 She might really like me.

01:10:54.280 And it was like, yeah, I had the chance to kiss her.

01:10:56.820 And I was like, I remember, like, leaning forward into the group.

01:10:59.400 And I couldn't even feel my arms.

01:11:00.920 They felt like they belonged to somebody else and somebody who was like somebody I didn't

01:11:06.560 even trust.

01:11:07.380 It was like they were just, like, rattling, dude. 0.88

01:11:09.400 And I felt like you could hear my freaking bones rattling.

01:11:13.220 And I'm like, oh, my God.

01:11:15.480 And then I just opened my mouth.

01:11:17.760 I'd seen that on TV.

01:11:19.020 I think, like, open mouth.

01:11:20.460 Yeah.

01:11:21.180 Yeah.

01:11:21.460 And everybody was laughing.

01:11:25.620 And then I remember I almost like.

01:11:28.220 So y'all didn't go in, like, a closet or anything to.

01:11:30.460 No.

01:11:31.000 It was right there in the middle.

01:11:31.200 Y'all just going to do it right out there.

01:11:33.140 That's terrible.

01:11:34.500 They shouldn't have done you dirty like that. 1.00

01:11:36.020 God, it was horrible, man.

01:11:37.900 And then I knew I felt like a fish trying to eat something.

01:11:41.740 Mm-hmm.

01:11:42.180 And then I felt so sad.

01:11:44.040 And then I remember thinking, oh, man.

01:11:46.040 That's it.

01:11:47.340 That's it, you know.

01:11:48.340 And then I saw this other real creepy dude later that night brushing that girl's hair

01:11:53.680 by the fire.

01:11:54.420 And I'm like, at least I'm not that dude.

01:11:55.600 Yeah.

01:11:55.920 No, that's.

01:11:57.160 Yeah. 0.89

01:11:58.120 That guy's a real creep.

01:11:59.220 Uh-huh.

01:11:59.720 I wonder what he's doing now.

01:12:01.400 I don't know.

01:12:02.200 I could imagine time.

01:12:04.300 Yeah.

01:12:06.840 So tell me about acting some.

01:12:08.980 So I know some about your career, right?

01:12:11.080 Yeah.

01:12:11.200 And I know general stuff.

01:12:12.900 But and I know some specifics.

01:12:15.140 But I like to just, you know, see what you think about stuff.

01:12:18.160 So was that scary?

01:12:19.420 Was it like, I mean, obviously, it's exciting because Yellowstone's a big show.

01:12:23.840 Yeah.

01:12:24.360 But was it, what do you think of that?

01:12:27.060 It's a big time commitment with acting.

01:12:28.500 Oh, for sure.

01:12:29.240 It is.

01:12:30.720 So Yellowstone, I mean, they've been great to me.

01:12:33.100 They put several of my songs on the show, which really just introduced me to a crowd

01:12:38.660 of people who might not listen to radio or stream music.

01:12:41.880 I mean, I have people still, you know, come to the shows and they're like, before your acting

01:12:46.420 gig, like I found your music through Yellowstone.

01:12:48.760 So it's crazy to think that a show's soundtrack is really like that helpful.

01:12:54.600 But for Yellowstone, it is.

01:12:56.380 It truly is.

01:12:57.260 And Taylor Sheridan, the writer and producer, he's just been good to me.

01:13:03.020 I mean, he called me last February and he's like, he said, I got this idea.

01:13:07.040 He said, I want to create a character specifically for you.

01:13:09.840 And he said, wear your bell bottoms, sing your songs, pretty much be you, but go by a musician

01:13:16.540 named Abby.

01:13:18.200 And I mean, this is my first acting gig. 0.90

01:13:21.480 I've been acting a fool my whole life, but this was like, you know, the real thing.

01:13:25.200 And this was like a huge thing considering it was my first too. 0.95

01:13:30.820 But I had so much fun.

01:13:32.160 I didn't know what to expect.

01:13:33.540 But I will say there are a lot of similarities, like with what I normally do on a, on a daily

01:13:39.300 basis.

01:13:40.260 And that, I mean, like, it's a lot of hurry up and wait.

01:13:42.920 You get ready for the scene.

01:13:44.260 You, you're waiting for your, you know, your moment to shine and you got like a few minutes

01:13:48.000 to show them what you can do, you know, or even when it comes to like learning the lines,

01:13:52.420 it's like learning a song that I didn't write.

01:13:56.340 But everybody made me feel so comfortable.

01:13:59.480 I mean, I became great friends with a lot of them.

01:14:01.360 And Beth, I mean, she is Kelly Riley.

01:14:04.860 She is so badass and she's actually really kind.

01:14:09.320 When, when we first met, cause my very first scene was with her.

01:14:13.780 Bring her up there, buddy. 1.00

01:14:15.000 Kelly Riley, bring her up on there. 1.00

01:14:16.680 Kelly Riley, you know, she's British. 1.00

01:14:18.280 Oh yeah.

01:14:18.880 I know about them.

01:14:19.780 Yep.

01:14:20.580 She British.

01:14:21.260 So you should have heard mine in her conversation.

01:14:23.520 We needed a dang translator.

01:14:26.000 Yeah.

01:14:27.400 But she's great.

01:14:28.480 She's still, you can tell that she's still got that spitfire spirit about her. 1.00

01:14:33.540 But she is a good human.

01:14:35.920 I mean, she made me bath salts and. 0.99

01:14:37.840 Oh dang.

01:14:38.600 I was like, okay, I thought you were going to put me in a headlock.

01:14:41.000 You make me bath salts.

01:14:42.180 Bath salts are.

01:14:44.700 People die from them though.

01:14:47.620 Yeah.

01:14:48.240 Well, we're going to do the right thing with the bath salts.

01:14:51.180 Okay.

01:14:51.740 I'm just saying because.

01:14:53.780 Yeah.

01:14:54.180 Maybe she's trying to get rid of me. 0.94

01:14:55.500 Yeah.

01:14:55.840 If somebody rolls up.

01:14:57.720 I never thought about it.

01:14:58.820 I'm going to call her.

01:15:00.220 Yeah, man.

01:15:00.840 That's swimmer's myth.

01:15:01.980 That's it.

01:15:02.720 That's it. 1.00

01:15:03.300 That shit is. 1.00

01:15:04.620 That's some hardcore stuff. 1.00

01:15:07.760 No.

01:15:07.900 Um, wow.

01:15:09.760 So, but tell me your first scene when you got to get out there and do it.

01:15:12.740 Cause that's when it's scary when they're like at when the, when, you know, when they

01:15:16.460 say action and it's on, like, you got to get that line out and your brain is like listening

01:15:20.520 to you say it.

01:15:21.560 Yeah.

01:15:21.880 It's like you get stuck in that space kind of, I mean, what was any of that?

01:15:24.640 Like, was it.

01:15:25.900 I'll tell you, I was, I was real nervous, um, that day, but.

01:15:29.800 But I have, I had a lot of family members praying for me that day for me to not be nervous

01:15:35.820 and for me to just kind of be in my body and people were sending me good vibes.

01:15:40.160 And, um, I really think that helped because when I got out there to do it for some crazy

01:15:45.300 reason, I was not nervous at all.

01:15:47.780 It was like, I had been doing it my whole life and I'm like, kind of freaked out that

01:15:53.020 I wasn't nervous, you know?

01:15:55.120 Wow.

01:15:55.820 I was nervous for the kissing scene, my first kissing scene.

01:15:58.820 Oh, y'all were kissing on there?

01:16:00.420 Dude.

01:16:01.940 Yes.

01:16:02.600 I said, I'm going to be on the dang church prayer list back at home.

01:16:06.220 Crab up your hair, boo. 1.00

01:16:07.880 That shit hit fucking his time. 1.00

01:16:09.840 I didn't know what to expect with all that either. 1.00

01:16:12.080 I'm like.

01:16:12.640 And who was the man?

01:16:13.880 Um, he goes by Ryan on the show.

01:16:15.660 His name is Ian Bowen.

01:16:17.160 He's become a dear friend of mine too.

01:16:18.820 He's actually one of my biggest champions.

01:16:21.760 I mean, he just, he shows up to shows.

01:16:23.800 He knows all the words to my songs better than I do.

01:16:26.560 Well, heck, you kissed him. 1.00

01:16:28.000 I'd fucking probably follow you. 1.00

01:16:29.320 Yeah. 0.99

01:16:29.860 Yeah.

01:16:30.100 He's following me.

01:16:31.940 Um, bring up that man if we can, huh?

01:16:34.020 Bring him up.

01:16:34.380 Let's see that smooch buddy. 1.00

01:16:35.620 Ian Bowen.

01:16:36.680 Ian Bowen.

01:16:37.480 And he's out there lip locking out there.

01:16:39.380 That's right.

01:16:39.900 And it wasn't his first rodeo.

01:16:41.140 Oh, dang.

01:16:41.660 He's handsome, huh?

01:16:42.580 Yep.

01:16:42.900 I mean, he's all right.

01:16:44.060 I mean, all the cowboys on that show, they, yeah.

01:16:46.820 It's a real, it's a real lot of handsomers on there, huh?

01:16:49.380 Uh, a lot of handsomers. 0.64

01:16:51.100 Because I've seen the other one.

01:16:52.920 I haven't seen this show.

01:16:54.360 Yep.

01:16:55.260 I know that some of the cast, but I've not seen this show, but yeah, he looks like a handsome

01:16:58.940 guy.

01:17:00.500 Oh, look at that, huh?

01:17:02.180 Oh, yeah.

01:17:02.940 I mean, we got down to it.

01:17:05.000 That was the first, our first little interaction and.

01:17:08.740 So did you guys talk before it?

01:17:10.520 Yeah, huh?

01:17:11.080 Yeah, we did.

01:17:11.840 We, uh, we actually had, uh, a few days of working together before we actually had to,

01:17:17.260 you know, do the, do the thing.

01:17:20.880 Um, but yeah, we just got to know each other.

01:17:24.740 And I mean, I didn't, like I said, I didn't know, I didn't know if like we really needed

01:17:30.300 to go in or like go in or whatever.

01:17:32.880 Are y'all made on there too, or is it just kissing?

01:17:35.600 It's just kissing.

01:17:36.860 I mean, I wake up in a tent in one scene.

01:17:40.440 Mm-hmm.

01:17:40.940 Um, so it's kind of up to your imagination.

01:17:43.480 Oh, dang, huh?

01:17:44.980 But, you know, that's, that's as, as risque as it got.

01:17:48.620 Well, my imagination, uh, it has, yeah.

01:17:51.660 Yeah.

01:17:52.240 It's, it is not allowed around me anymore.

01:17:55.740 Uh-huh.

01:17:57.420 Put that thing away. 0.99

01:17:58.780 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:18:00.060 Better take the batteries out of that thing. 1.00

01:18:02.340 That's right.

01:18:03.160 Um, wow, that's so wild.

01:18:05.520 So isn't it, isn't it interesting, Lainey, to feel like your dream's coming true?

01:18:08.980 What is that kind of like, you ever able to get in any moments like that?

01:18:12.280 Cause that's kind of interesting.

01:18:13.220 Like, you know, a lot, so many people have dreams in the world and it's hard to, you

01:18:18.180 know, not all of us get to have them come true.

01:18:20.680 Which is, that is very true.

01:18:22.340 I feel very lucky.

01:18:23.220 I feel like we talk about this all the time, but it seems like the stars have to align over

01:18:29.660 and over and over and over again.

01:18:32.360 And they got to align again, you know, and I mean, you can work hard and, and keep your

01:18:37.520 head down and, and do your thing or whatever, but it's still, it's got to have a little bit

01:18:42.640 to do with luck too.

01:18:43.460 Um, I feel, I feel like I've been, cause I've been here for so long and working at this

01:18:50.860 ever since I was nine years old, I'm 30 years old.

01:18:52.800 Like, you know, I feel like I've been like preparing for the race.

01:18:56.260 Like I finally entered it and just now I'm about to run it.

01:19:00.020 I mean, it feels like it's just beginning now.

01:19:01.680 So I don't think I haven't had a moment where I'm like, oh, I've made it.

01:19:08.160 I feel like we're doing it.

01:19:09.660 You know, I feel like things are coming to fruition, but I also feel like there's a lot 0.99

01:19:13.840 more shit to be done. 0.99

01:19:16.160 Yeah. 1.00

01:19:16.540 It's really interesting.

01:19:17.360 Yeah.

01:19:17.500 It's almost like when you've, cause there's times, there's times when you're going through

01:19:21.140 your career, you're like, I should be having this opportunity.

01:19:24.080 Right.

01:19:24.600 Yeah.

01:19:24.940 But then you realize later that if you'd have gotten those opportunities at that point,

01:19:28.740 you wouldn't have even been ready.

01:19:30.600 Nope.

01:19:31.340 You're right.

01:19:32.120 I'm glad it's taken me a long time.

01:19:33.900 I mean, and not that long.

01:19:35.320 You look lovely by the way.

01:19:36.700 And I don't think you look a day over probably 20.

01:19:40.460 Oh, I like you.

01:19:41.920 Or 20 and a half maybe.

01:19:43.760 Oh, okay.

01:19:44.600 I'll take it.

01:19:45.520 Or 22.

01:19:46.460 Sorry.

01:19:46.800 And I'll keep going until we get, you know, until everything seems okay.

01:19:50.060 Uh-huh.

01:19:51.220 No.

01:19:52.580 I will say for the longest time, people made me feel like, like, don't talk about your

01:19:58.340 age in this town.

01:19:59.300 Yeah.

01:19:59.560 Like it's going to date you, you know?

01:20:01.520 But at the end of the day, I'm proud to be 30.

01:20:04.560 I'm proud, you know, that it has taken me this long because I feel like time is a part

01:20:09.160 of my story.

01:20:10.360 And I feel like it's, I don't know, you know, I want to, I want to show little girls and

01:20:14.680 boys that sometimes it's going to take you a little longer than some folks.

01:20:18.940 I mean, I moved to this town and people were passing me up left and right, getting publishing

01:20:23.140 deals, getting record deals.

01:20:24.540 And at the end of the day, sometimes slow and steady, you know, is better.

01:20:29.100 And I feel like I've been trying to do brick by brick, just one thing at a time.

01:20:33.100 Cause I want longevity.

01:20:35.120 I don't want to just be a flash in the pan and I'm not, I'm not doing that.

01:20:38.800 So.

01:20:39.140 You couldn't be, I don't think.

01:20:42.560 I don't see how it would even be possible.

01:20:44.560 And it's funny because if I listen to heart, like a truck, right.

01:20:47.220 Like, but you're 24 years old, I, it's not, I don't believe that.

01:20:53.840 Yeah.

01:20:54.720 No, I've been through some stuff.

01:20:56.720 Yep.

01:20:57.520 And I'm proud of it.

01:20:59.100 It's been hard.

01:21:00.060 I mean, there's definitely times where I wish it wouldn't have been that way.

01:21:03.780 I mean, I mean, even it's weird because like I'm experiencing like really great things with

01:21:11.300 my career right now.

01:21:12.200 Even when I was filming Yellowstone, I was going through, like we were losing my daddy.

01:21:16.700 He ended up surviving, but like he spent two months in ICU and I was having to actually

01:21:22.360 a few of those scenes right there.

01:21:24.220 I would go over to the corner and cry and then come back and then shoot it again.

01:21:27.960 And it just seems sometimes I'm like, man, am I supposed to go through these things so

01:21:33.920 I can be more relatable to people and, and be more understanding and be able to write the

01:21:39.480 kind of music that people are really gonna connect to and listen to.

01:21:42.880 And that's kind of what I chalk it up to sometimes.

01:21:45.280 Cause I mean, life ain't easy.

01:21:47.680 Yeah.

01:21:48.220 It is what it is.

01:21:49.440 You just got to keep rolling.

01:21:50.800 Yeah.

01:21:50.940 And sometimes it's like, I don't know.

01:21:53.000 I feel like sometimes like God has a way of reaching people.

01:21:56.940 Right.

01:21:57.260 And not to make it religious or anything, but it's like, sometimes you're just part of

01:22:00.580 that way.

01:22:01.320 That's right.

01:22:02.120 You know?

01:22:02.500 And it's not even, yeah, it's, you have talents and stuff, but it's like, sometimes

01:22:07.100 some things they're so, especially with music, it's like, man, this thing is, and so many

01:22:12.340 people have written and, you know, there's other people playing and it's like really to

01:22:15.540 make this thing.

01:22:16.420 It's like, it takes a, a village.

01:22:19.160 It does take a village.

01:22:20.260 You know?

01:22:20.800 I like the best way for me to explain it to people who ask about the industry.

01:22:24.700 I just say, it's like the artist is like at the center of the wheel and there's a million

01:22:29.720 different spokes, I mean, you got your label, you got your management, you got your business

01:22:33.680 management, you got your tour manager, you got your band, you got publicity, you got

01:22:38.320 publishing, so many different spokes to the wheel and all of them have to be turning

01:22:43.100 fluid.

01:22:45.200 You know, they all have to be lining up.

01:22:47.460 And if one little thing is off.

01:22:50.360 You in a ditch.

01:22:51.400 Yeah.

01:22:51.620 You in a ditch.

01:22:52.900 You're on a unicycle in a dang ditch.

01:22:54.960 That is it.

01:22:55.700 Yeah.

01:22:55.980 That is, that's the best way to explain it.

01:22:58.120 The crab in your hair, boo. 0.83

01:22:59.880 Uh-huh.

01:23:01.240 What happened with your father?

01:23:02.340 He was sick?

01:23:03.520 Yes, it was actually a fungal infection.

01:23:06.100 Oh, dang.

01:23:07.340 That kind of took out the left side of the inside of his face.

01:23:11.320 What?

01:23:11.640 So anything that this fungus touched, just, it turned to dirt.

01:23:16.520 It's like the most like aggressive type of fungus there is.

01:23:19.540 How do you get it?

01:23:21.480 I mean, it could have been from the farm.

01:23:23.560 It could have been from the barn.

01:23:25.480 Anything like that.

01:23:26.460 Super rare.

01:23:27.460 Super rare.

01:23:27.960 And he's actually the, with the people who were kind of like leading the case and stuff,

01:23:31.940 he's the second person to ever survive it that they've worked with.

01:23:35.160 And with a few of the doctors, he's the first one to ever survive it.

01:23:38.800 But he had nine surgeries in a month and a half.

01:23:42.560 They kept going in to remove the fungus.

01:23:44.180 And then he had a stroke on top of all that.

01:23:46.880 Oh, man.

01:23:47.860 That must have been heartbreaking.

01:23:49.520 It was.

01:23:49.960 It was.

01:23:50.580 And he's still got a little ways to go.

01:23:53.660 But actually, this past week, a big old praise report.

01:23:58.820 He went back to work several, just for like a couple hours, just to go up there and kind 0.95

01:24:02.800 of bullshit with some of his friends. 0.93

01:24:04.140 But that right there. 1.00

01:24:05.040 That's work in Louisiana.

01:24:06.280 That's work.

01:24:06.840 And that's also just, that's a big old step.

01:24:11.100 So.

01:24:11.540 Wow.

01:24:12.040 That must have felt awesome for him.

01:24:13.840 Yep.

01:24:14.420 I'm ready for him to be able to.

01:24:15.900 I mean, he's still driving the tractor and he's doing stuff like that.

01:24:18.780 But ready for him to start having some more interactions with people.

01:24:22.380 Cause I think just interacting with, with people is healing in general.

01:24:26.560 Yeah.

01:24:27.100 You've healed me today.

01:24:28.240 Oh, well, thanks back at you.

01:24:30.760 Yeah.

01:24:30.900 I felt, I've just felt so off my, I don't even know what's going on today.

01:24:34.620 I get it.

01:24:35.620 You do?

01:24:36.220 I get it.

01:24:36.920 Well, you're moving right now.

01:24:39.180 No, I trust me.

01:24:40.640 For me, it's like, it's just like that mojo that, that you find right before you go on stage.

01:24:46.860 Sometimes it's hard to find that like impossible.

01:24:50.960 Impossible.

01:24:51.980 Yeah.

01:24:53.360 Is it, is, are there, are there shows in, obviously I'm sure all of your shows are great.

01:24:57.340 Are there shows in moments where it's like, are there some shows where for some reason

01:25:01.960 you're a, you're able to hit another gear?

01:25:04.500 I find that with comedy.

01:25:05.420 I don't know if it's like that with music at all.

01:25:07.600 Oh, it absolutely is.

01:25:09.440 I feed off the crowd and you probably do the same exact thing.

01:25:13.140 I feel like it's like an energy exchange.

01:25:15.260 Like if their energy is up here.

01:25:16.940 Yeah.

01:25:17.600 That's where I'm at.

01:25:18.560 If their energy is down here, that's, that's kind of where I'm at too.

01:25:20.980 Um, I mean, one little thing can throw the show all off.

01:25:24.700 Like the other night I had somebody spit at me.

01:25:27.960 Yeah.

01:25:28.360 I'm like, why are you going to pay for a ticket?

01:25:29.780 Then spit at me.

01:25:30.960 Like, I ain't trying to fight nobody tonight.

01:25:32.800 And I had that in my brain the whole night, you know?

01:25:36.640 Yeah.

01:25:37.020 And then it kind of, you'd need to go down rabbit holes of, why are they spitting at me?

01:25:40.840 Yeah.

01:25:41.940 Who's spitting? 0.95

01:25:42.580 Yeah. 1.00

01:25:43.160 Then you see somebody just spitting like dip and you're like, fuck him. 1.00

01:25:46.380 You just start losing on anybody. 1.00

01:25:48.020 I'm like, there he is.

01:25:48.800 That's him right there.

01:25:49.740 Get him out.

01:25:50.460 Some guy's drooling.

01:25:51.580 Some guy's like, he has like a Bell's palsy.

01:25:54.120 Yeah.

01:25:54.540 Yeah.

01:25:55.000 Yeah.

01:25:55.300 That's him.

01:25:55.900 He did it.

01:25:56.340 Oh, we had a show the other night.

01:25:58.860 Some girl was just, and usually for comedy, you want people to be quiet. 0.98

01:26:03.660 Yeah.

01:26:04.200 So oddly, it's kind of the opposite.

01:26:06.240 You want it to be silenced because you'll use the silence to kind of create the next moment

01:26:10.820 for the joke, you know?

01:26:12.280 So you want them to laugh when they're, you know, when it's funny, but you want them to

01:26:14.940 otherwise kind of, and people want to yell out stuff, you know, and just yell out cocaine

01:26:19.220 and all kinds of weird shit sometimes, you know? 0.83

01:26:21.100 And everybody on the crowd saying free bird, free bird. 0.99

01:26:23.420 And I'm like, the amount of times I've heard that.

01:26:26.340 Yeah.

01:26:26.620 So, yeah.

01:26:27.500 It's like the other night, the show was just, it threw everything off so much in the beginning

01:26:30.560 that it was just kind of a bad show.

01:26:31.840 I felt like, you know, I know I get that and it's hard to kind of come back from it.

01:26:36.460 Yeah.

01:26:37.360 It's hard to bounce.

01:26:38.120 Yeah.

01:26:38.260 Sometimes it's hard to bounce back.

01:26:39.300 It's just, and sometimes you just got to chalk it up to that's just how the night went.

01:26:43.460 The crowd doesn't even know.

01:26:45.320 I know.

01:26:46.060 Yeah.

01:26:46.380 They have no clue.

01:26:47.240 Cause there's times where I'll get off stage and I'll tell my band like, oh my gosh, I was

01:26:52.660 like struggling tonight.

01:26:53.860 I could not find that, that thing.

01:26:56.520 Or I was like, I was searching for that certain feeling, you know?

01:26:59.640 Yeah.

01:27:00.420 And, um, and I didn't get that feeling.

01:27:03.280 So therefore I feel like I like let myself down or let everybody else down.

01:27:06.220 And the band was like, oh my gosh, to me, that was one of the best shows that we played

01:27:09.800 yet.

01:27:10.340 And I'm like, is something wrong with me?

01:27:13.620 Yeah.

01:27:13.980 And then there's times where they're like, I did terrible tonight.

01:27:16.460 And I'm like, this is the best show we've ever played because of that feeling.

01:27:19.800 Yeah.

01:27:20.760 That's exactly what it is.

01:27:21.880 I'm looking, it's almost selfish.

01:27:23.160 I'm looking for some feeling that I think that, that I usually get when the show feels

01:27:27.340 good to me.

01:27:28.360 Yes.

01:27:29.340 And they might not have any clue.

01:27:30.900 No, they're, they're thinking that is the best thing I've ever seen.

01:27:34.080 Yeah.

01:27:34.420 That is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

01:27:37.720 It's interesting.

01:27:38.780 We had a, yeah, usually it's a woman that gets crazy at a, at a comedy show. 1.00

01:27:42.620 Sometimes it's like a, a lot of times it's a woman that'll get outrageous kind of. 1.00

01:27:45.720 Like a drunk woman or something? 1.00

01:27:46.820 Yeah.

01:27:46.980 Yeah.

01:27:47.220 A real drunk lady. 1.00

01:27:48.660 She'll get drunk. 1.00

01:27:49.560 How do you deal with that?

01:27:51.180 We end up usually tossing them out.

01:27:53.040 Yeah.

01:27:53.700 Yeah.

01:27:54.380 Because then it just sidetracks you completely.

01:27:56.180 But then you have to deal with her husband or boyfriend.

01:27:57.200 And he's like, you know, muffin never gets drunk.

01:28:00.680 And I'm like, well, first of all, muffin gets drunk.

01:28:02.980 That's right.

01:28:03.560 And muffin is drunk tonight and muffin got to go.

01:28:05.680 Yeah. 0.99

01:28:07.080 We need to put muffin in a damn to go box. 0.99

01:28:09.480 I want to meet muffin though. 0.98

01:28:10.440 She does sound like a good time.

01:28:15.620 I'm trying to think of what else.

01:28:16.880 I mean, obviously your career just really speaks for itself.

01:28:19.460 You know, I'm, I'm grateful that we got to sit and chat a little bit.

01:28:22.240 Anything, Ben, that you wanted to bring up?

01:28:24.880 For you, do you have little pieces of the puzzle that help you start writing a song, finish a song?

01:28:30.420 Yeah.

01:28:30.560 What do you tell those writers listening to you right now?

01:28:32.620 Yeah.

01:28:32.980 I like that.

01:28:34.560 What is it?

01:28:36.640 What did he say?

01:28:38.360 That is a big old question.

01:28:39.660 You're going to have to repeat it again.

01:28:41.000 Because I barely know him.

01:28:41.940 Okay.

01:28:41.960 Basically like, no, here's the, the easy version.

01:28:45.760 What is like my songwriting process like?

01:28:47.760 Because it's probably pretty dang similar to like the way that you write.

01:28:52.040 Okay.

01:28:53.060 For me, the cool thing about songwriting is it's different every single time I sit down.

01:28:58.380 I mean, I feel like some people, you know, they start with one thing pretty much all the time.

01:29:03.860 But for me, it could start with a melody.

01:29:06.240 It could start with a guitar riff.

01:29:07.940 Um, but no matter what, it always starts with an idea for me.

01:29:14.020 I keep this little list in my phone called my hook book.

01:29:17.100 Mm-hmm.

01:29:17.400 And that's where I just, you know, probably, you probably do the same thing.

01:29:20.240 You jot down stuff. 0.94

01:29:20.940 Yeah, but mine's kind of seedy women. 1.00

01:29:23.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.81

01:29:24.780 Yeah.

01:29:25.140 So, then I'll look through there, but at the end of the day, I feel like I've been given the opportunity to write with so many incredible writers here in Nashville that they've kind of taught me how to put myself into the shoes of whatever it is that we're writing about.

01:29:40.380 I mean, if we wanted to write about this thing right here, you know, then they've kind of taught me how to like feel that for everything that it is and write from that perspective, which is pretty dang therapeutic.

01:29:50.480 Um, oh, that's interesting.

01:29:53.620 Yeah.

01:29:54.060 So, you find there's a lot of therapy in it, really.

01:29:55.560 It is.

01:29:56.700 And sometimes, I mean, of course, a lot of my songs I have and most of the songs that I end up cutting are songs that are super personal to me, but there is something really cool about kind of just stepping outside of your shoes for a minute and putting yourself into somebody else's.

01:30:12.760 And that is, it's very freeing.

01:30:17.340 I love it.

01:30:18.080 I love songwriting.

01:30:19.060 I mean, songwriting was my number one.

01:30:21.660 Like I said, I wrote my first song at nine years old.

01:30:23.820 And when I moved here to Nashville, that's what songwriting was the foot that I led with.

01:30:30.020 Yeah.

01:30:30.260 I figured that was my strength.

01:30:31.780 And that's the only way that I could, you know, maybe get my foot in the door was through my songwriting.

01:30:37.060 So, it serves a very, it's a special thing in my life.

01:30:44.040 Wow.

01:30:44.420 That's interesting.

01:30:45.720 Yeah.

01:30:46.080 I used to love to write music.

01:30:47.280 I used to love to write country songs.

01:30:49.420 I used to, yeah, sometimes when I was working on that tractor, I would stop it and I would stand out on it and listen to like top 40 country.

01:30:56.080 And it was like Clay Walker was, he had this song called She's Always Right.

01:31:01.080 And I would like sing that at the top of my lungs.

01:31:04.040 And I used to love to write country music.

01:31:06.360 Like, did you, was there a point where you thought you would just be a songwriter?

01:31:11.820 Um, I always knew that.

01:31:17.340 Like, does that happen in artists?

01:31:18.980 Like, I just wonder, like, because sometimes with comedians, right?

01:31:21.840 There's, you do comedy and then sometimes you're like, oh, I'm just going to be a writer.

01:31:25.340 And I'm a write for like a late night show.

01:31:27.160 Yeah.

01:31:27.360 Or like a Fallon or like what you were just on or like, you know, or I'm going to write for a comedian.

01:31:32.700 Yeah.

01:31:33.300 But I don't know if the dream ever goes away to just do comedy, but sometimes life gets in the way.

01:31:38.060 You'll get a family or something.

01:31:39.680 Yeah.

01:31:39.920 And things kind of have to shift.

01:31:41.880 I'll say I didn't want to have to choose.

01:31:45.780 I was like, I can do both.

01:31:47.460 I'm going to be a songwriter.

01:31:48.500 I'm going to be an artist.

01:31:49.480 I'm going to do it all.

01:31:50.700 But I had somebody who was, who I was working with at the time who made me believe you can't be both.

01:31:58.340 He was like, you got to choose.

01:32:00.880 Are you a songwriter?

01:32:01.660 Are you an artist?

01:32:02.240 And I'm like, I'm both.

01:32:03.720 He's like, no, no, no.

01:32:04.500 But you got to like, you got to really.

01:32:06.720 And I'm like, no, look around at some of the most successful artists.

01:32:12.340 I mean, decades and decades for decades, you know, they write their own stuff and they sing their own stuff.

01:32:18.960 And it doesn't mean that I'm opposed to, you know, cutting outside songs at the end of the day.

01:32:23.500 Like I said, the best idea and the best song wins.

01:32:27.440 But you can do both.

01:32:29.780 Look at Morgan.

01:32:30.500 Look at Hardy.

01:32:30.980 Look at, look at all the guys.

01:32:33.200 Look at Ernest.

01:32:33.960 He used to pitch for Lipscomb.

01:32:35.080 That's what I'm saying.

01:32:36.000 Like, you can do it.

01:32:38.260 You shouldn't be in creative.

01:32:40.240 You shouldn't be scared to step outside of the box.

01:32:43.420 And in my opinion, that's not even really stepping outside of the box.

01:32:45.680 It's just singing the stuff that you wrote.

01:32:47.300 Yeah.

01:32:48.800 And he was going to sing it better than you.

01:32:50.800 He was so wrong.

01:32:51.840 That really seems to.

01:32:52.460 Yeah, that amps you up.

01:32:53.580 I'm ready to fight.

01:32:54.760 Dude, I'll fight. 0.99

01:32:55.420 Yeah, you can beat the shit out of me if you want. 1.00

01:32:57.640 I've been beaten by women. 1.00

01:32:58.480 I'm like, are they going to put it on the camera or are we going to do it afterwards?

01:33:03.580 Uh-huh.

01:33:03.900 I mean, we'll do whatever y'all want, honey.

01:33:06.640 Look, we'll do whatever y'all want.

01:33:07.380 Or the people won't.

01:33:08.740 Look, I'll open a Bible. 1.00

01:33:10.260 You can beat the damn devil out of me if we want. 0.99

01:33:12.200 That's going to be hard to do. 0.99

01:33:13.180 That's going to take a few Bibles. 0.98

01:33:14.380 That might take an hour.

01:33:15.300 Yeah, yeah.

01:33:15.740 We're going to give Mandolin a Bible too. 0.99

01:33:17.200 We're going to beat the shit out of you. 0.99

01:33:19.380 Dude, Bibles should come with a little bat with them. 1.00

01:33:21.620 I feel like some of them, you know?

01:33:23.340 Uh-huh. 0.82

01:33:23.680 Because some people really need to be beaten about.

01:33:25.640 That's right.

01:33:27.420 Okay, so what's coming up then?

01:33:28.660 You just have a lot of touring.

01:33:30.240 I mean, how does that end?

01:33:30.880 Yeah, this was my song.

01:33:31.620 She's Always Right.

01:33:32.360 Did you ever hear that song?

01:33:33.640 Ooh.

01:33:33.960 God, I fell in love every time I heard this dang song.

01:33:36.500 Uh-huh.

01:33:37.860 Yeah, I used to love that one.

01:33:39.060 Love it.

01:33:39.980 It was a good one.

01:33:40.700 Oh, Clay Walker.

01:33:43.480 All right.

01:33:44.120 I've talked your ears off.

01:33:45.420 Yeah, it's okay.

01:33:46.220 It's been nice.

01:33:46.880 Thanks for your patience.

01:33:47.940 Thank you.

01:33:48.560 Yeah.

01:33:48.820 Thank you for having me.

01:33:49.380 This has been fun.

01:33:50.640 I knew we'd get along.

01:33:51.600 You did?

01:33:52.080 Yeah.

01:33:53.020 Yeah, I thought we probably would.

01:33:53.940 I mean, I feel like you get along with everybody, but.

01:33:56.940 Yeah?

01:33:57.520 Yeah.

01:33:57.880 I don't know a lot of female singers, really.

01:34:01.140 Yep.

01:34:01.560 You know?

01:34:01.960 I don't think anyway.

01:34:02.980 I might.

01:34:04.340 You might.

01:34:04.860 I can't remember.

01:34:06.280 But anyway, congratulations on all your success.

01:34:11.680 You'll just be touring a lot then.

01:34:12.840 Is that what's going on?

01:34:13.740 Yep.

01:34:14.000 We are doing my first headlining tour right now called Country with a Flair.

01:34:18.220 Okay.

01:34:18.400 We got my friends, Meg McCree, Ben Chapman, and Leah Blevins out with us and love them,

01:34:25.860 believe in them so much.

01:34:27.000 It's nice to feel like I'm finally able to, like I'm in a position where I could help somebody

01:34:31.280 else because I've had so many people help me along the way.

01:34:35.120 It just, it feels good to be able to do that.

01:34:37.860 Just even inviting them on the road, you know.

01:34:40.200 Oh, yeah.

01:34:40.640 I could help them.

01:34:41.220 So, doing that, we are going out with Luke Combs for the stadium tour.

01:34:47.300 Which is a full circle thing for me because he used to come over to my camper and we'd

01:34:51.100 write.

01:34:51.660 And so, we're doing that.

01:34:53.320 We've got, I mean, so many things, exciting things this year and hopefully be filming some

01:34:59.340 more Yellowstone.

01:35:00.220 We'll see.

01:35:01.220 Dang, that's a lot.

01:35:02.400 It's a lot.

01:35:03.200 So, people can just go, well, obviously, they can get tickets to the Luke Combs show and then

01:35:07.060 your tour.

01:35:08.780 My tour is completely sold out.

01:35:11.060 Yeah.

01:35:11.520 We're even moving to some bigger venue.

01:35:14.140 So, it's exciting stuff considering, I mean.

01:35:17.840 That's so cool.

01:35:18.540 Last year looked different.

01:35:19.340 I'm not going to lie.

01:35:19.940 It's crazy.

01:35:20.620 Really?

01:35:21.220 Yeah.

01:35:21.860 I mean, I played a, yeah, March of last year in Tuscaloosa.

01:35:27.780 We had had a hit with Things a Man Ought to Know and Never Say Never with Cole Swindell

01:35:32.640 was just, it was killing it at that time too.

01:35:36.400 I see, like, there were so many things that we had done, but I still could barely sell

01:35:41.680 a ticket.

01:35:42.240 Wow.

01:35:42.600 I sold, like, was it 100 or like 91 tickets or something like that.

01:35:47.260 And a lot of people there were family.

01:35:49.900 And it was like, where, like, where is this not connecting?

01:35:54.880 You know?

01:35:55.440 Like, I feel like we won some awards.

01:35:57.440 We got some number ones.

01:35:58.540 But still, at that time, I was pretty faceless.

01:36:01.260 I think that's what happens with a lot of artists.

01:36:04.760 So explain that to me when you say faceless, because this is interesting.

01:36:07.260 I think a lot of people know songs on the radio.

01:36:10.280 I think during that time, if you would have asked anybody who listens to country music,

01:36:13.920 like, you know that song, Things a Man Ought to Know?

01:36:17.040 They all would have said yes, but they did not know me.

01:36:21.280 And that's where the disconnect is.

01:36:24.940 And I think that's really where Yellowstone has been so beneficial, because, you know,

01:36:30.720 they see your name up on the screen and stuff, and then they finally just, like, see your

01:36:34.980 face.

01:36:35.900 And they're like, oh, okay.

01:36:37.560 And then they have to see it a million other times for it to really, really connect.

01:36:42.080 Yeah.

01:36:42.220 How many times they say you got a...

01:36:43.280 Yeah, you have to have, like, 12 to 15 impressions for people to even, like, remember, or be

01:36:53.180 like, oh, that's who that is.

01:36:54.980 Let me go check it out.

01:36:56.200 Dang.

01:36:56.900 Because there's just so much out there in the world.

01:36:58.900 I mean, people just...

01:36:59.720 Oh, yeah.

01:37:00.560 Well, it's crazy.

01:37:01.140 I mean, I spend half my day watching Mentally Unwell people do, you know, go to the mailbox 1.00

01:37:05.380 and do regular stuff.

01:37:06.880 I know.

01:37:07.440 And so it's like, yeah, it's crazy, because, like you said, Lucas Nelson, right, was somebody

01:37:11.540 you had done a collab with?

01:37:13.100 It's somebody, yep, Willie Nelson's son.

01:37:15.600 Okay, nice.

01:37:16.640 And Raelynn, he has a daughter, too, right?

01:37:19.540 I haven't met...

01:37:20.900 I actually have not even met Lucas in person yet, either.

01:37:23.620 We, uh...

01:37:25.420 But you guys did a collab together?

01:37:27.400 We did a collab together.

01:37:29.020 So you go in at separate times and do it?

01:37:30.840 Yeah, he actually, he lives in Hawaii half of the year.

01:37:34.420 Yep.

01:37:35.060 He lives out there.

01:37:36.140 I don't blame him.

01:37:36.440 And we FaceTimed and got it done, but, I mean, he's such a cool dude.

01:37:42.200 Is he?

01:37:42.480 He don't even know how cool he is.

01:37:44.060 Oh, man.

01:37:45.000 He's that kind of cool.

01:37:46.860 That's the best kind of cool.

01:37:48.460 Yeah, that's cool.

01:37:49.560 That's cool, bro.

01:37:51.180 Yeah, I think, um...

01:37:52.680 But, yeah, like, um...

01:37:54.500 Oh, dang.

01:37:55.300 What was I saying?

01:37:56.420 Oh.

01:37:58.160 Just talking about, like, the faceless, like, the disconnect.

01:38:01.260 Well, yeah, so to get people to see you, right?

01:38:03.060 It's funny, because you could say his name.

01:38:04.580 I've heard his name before, right?

01:38:05.720 Mm-hmm.

01:38:06.180 But it's like, yeah, I wouldn't be able to put his face.

01:38:08.700 Yeah.

01:38:08.900 It's hard.

01:38:09.280 You gotta get sent.

01:38:10.180 You have to...

01:38:11.320 There's just so much.

01:38:13.220 But this, you know, some of these, like, I could pick out this one dude who has, like,

01:38:19.520 you know, there's, like, a guy who's kind of mentally handicapped, and he opens baseball

01:38:23.500 cards all day, and if I saw that dude, I would lose my mind.

01:38:26.160 Yeah.

01:38:26.740 It's just crazy how they have, you know, different things you're into.

01:38:29.760 Or there's a baby.

01:38:30.900 There's actually two babies.

01:38:32.480 If I saw one of those babies in person...

01:38:34.060 You'd be like...

01:38:35.460 I would...

01:38:36.340 You're gonna get arrested.

01:38:37.600 Yeah.

01:38:38.160 They would have to call the cops.

01:38:40.680 Uh-huh.

01:38:40.980 Like, the baby's dad would be like, hey, that's my...

01:38:42.900 You gotta stop.

01:38:43.620 Yeah.

01:38:44.060 Yeah.

01:38:44.440 You gotta stop.

01:38:45.300 That baby's real young.

01:38:46.880 But it's true.

01:38:47.760 But it's, like, just the things that take your attention.

01:38:50.500 Well, I think you've got everybody's attention now.

01:38:52.420 I don't know how you could ever get rid of it.

01:38:54.000 I mean, once I heard your voice, I don't think I could ever...

01:38:56.580 Thank you, man.

01:38:57.140 I could just...

01:38:57.940 It's in my ears forever.

01:38:59.200 Thanks.

01:38:59.400 You know?

01:38:59.940 It is very powerful.

01:39:01.040 Thank you very much.

01:39:01.560 And thank you so much for just spending time with us.

01:39:04.580 Absolutely.

01:39:05.460 We gotta do this again.

01:39:06.260 Now I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.

01:39:12.220 I must be cornerstone.

01:39:17.360 Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.

01:39:22.820 And I can feel it in my bones.

01:39:27.220 But it's gonna take a minute.

01:39:31.360 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll

01:39:36.560 be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to

01:39:41.240 pleasure your partner.

01:39:42.800 The answer may shock you.

01:39:44.540 Sometimes I'll interview my friends.

01:39:46.600 Sometimes I won't.

01:39:47.460 And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.

01:39:51.280 You have three new voice messages.

01:39:54.220 A lot of people are talking about Kite Club.

01:39:57.120 I've been talking about Kite Club for so long.

01:39:59.800 Longer than anybody else.

01:40:01.460 So great.

01:40:02.780 Hi.

01:40:03.440 Sweetie.

01:40:04.360 Here's the deal. 1.00

01:40:05.780 Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker. 1.00

01:40:09.720 Jermaine. 0.99

01:40:10.300 I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.

01:40:14.760 Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.

01:40:16.880 Oh, no.

01:40:19.160 I think Tom Hanks just butt-dialed me.

01:40:21.580 Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.

01:40:25.740 Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.

01:40:30.000 Third rule.

01:40:30.940 Like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

01:40:33.640 Or watch us on YouTube, yeah?

01:40:35.320 And yes, don't worry, my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
