00:00:30.460 Today's guest is an award-winning country musician and songwriter.

00:00:35.900 He's out of North Carolina and has gone on to become one of the biggest names in entertainment.

00:00:42.600 He has a new album, Fathers and Sons, which is coming out just before Father's Day.

00:00:48.000 And I'm thankful to sit with him today, my new friend, Mr. Luke Cone.

00:00:53.160 Shine that light on me

00:00:56.760 I'll sit and tell you my stories

00:01:02.780 Shine on me

00:01:07.500 And I will find a song

00:01:11.740 I'll be singing

00:01:12.880 I love the stars

00:01:13.900 And that's galvanized, isn't it?

00:01:21.920 Mm-hmm.

00:01:22.520 It is.

00:01:23.240 Yeah.

00:01:23.560 You can just, you can really hear the nails go across it.

00:01:26.720 That's how you know it's, it's, it's got rivets inside of it, you know?

00:01:30.840 Make it sound so good.

00:01:31.640 That's like redneck ASMR. 1.00

00:01:32.980 It's like, you know, there's just some dude who woke up in his trailer and he just, he's trying to quietly eat the leftovers without his wife hearing him.

00:01:42.600 Dude, hold on, there is a guy, dude, and don't ask me how this comes across my feed, but it's like day 600 of me spraying dog medicine on my hands till I can strike a match off my knuckles.

00:01:54.460 And I'm like, why do I care so much about this guy striking a match off his knuckles?

00:01:59.280 But dude, and at the end of every video, dude, it's him.

00:02:02.440 And at the beginning, he'll go, now there's a sensory nightmare at the end of this video. 0.93

00:02:06.360 And it's him going, and it's like his sandpaper ass hands, like going in the mic, dude.

00:02:11.620 And it is, it's, dude, it's, it's worth it. 0.74

00:02:14.580 Here it is, dude.

00:02:15.220 We've got it up.

00:02:16.880 Here it is, dude.

00:02:18.920 We got one, huh?

00:02:20.300 Spray dog medicine on my hands in order to make the skin of my hands tougher.

00:02:23.420 Don't forget to like, share, like, the dog medicine, blowing like champagne.

00:02:28.360 I went to the doctor today and asked him about tough foot.

00:02:31.380 Dude, he's sand in the wood with his hands, dude.

00:02:35.120 Oh, wow.

00:02:35.920 My guy is for real.

00:02:37.300 He's real.

00:02:38.160 He's an instrument of the Lord, brother.

00:02:39.940 He's, here's my question is, what's the end thing?

00:02:45.640 Like, what happens at the end?

00:02:47.360 Like, how, is there a two, here it is, dude, dog medicine.

00:02:50.420 Oh, wow.

00:02:51.240 Now, what is the dog medicine?

00:02:52.740 What do you think the real function of that medicine is?

00:02:55.220 Here it is.

00:02:56.540 Get some, can we get some audio on this guy's hands, dude?

00:02:58.900 Yeah, jack us in, brother.

00:03:00.120 Jack us into some of this guy's hands.

00:03:03.720 Oh, wow.

00:03:04.440 So, this is a gentleman, you can't see him at home, guys.

00:03:06.860 This is sort of a Rubenesque gentleman who is making his hands rougher, and then...

00:03:13.260 The sound is heinous.

00:03:14.960 It really is, dude.

00:03:16.740 And then he just rubs them together.

00:03:18.220 He just rubs them together, dude.

00:03:20.400 Yeah.

00:03:21.020 Dude, he will probably be the president in two terms.

00:03:25.520 Here he is.

00:03:26.000 He's trying to strike a match, dude.

00:03:28.220 And here he is, striking a match on his knuckle.

00:03:30.300 Now, he can strike a match on his feet, which is feet in and of itself.

00:03:35.880 That's it.

00:03:36.200 No point of take.

00:03:36.760 Yeah.

00:03:37.440 That's a start, man.

00:03:38.800 It's wild.

00:03:39.980 God.

00:03:40.800 Yeah.

00:03:41.140 I admit, yeah, we had a guy one night that came to a show, and he's like, hey, man, me

00:03:46.560 and my cousin, we love you, and look at him.

00:03:49.740 And he goes, he's missing 70% of his skull, right?

00:03:52.660 And the dude had a cool thing, though, where if he, like, put his finger in his mouth and

00:03:56.220 went, then the other part of his head would kind of show up, dude.

00:04:00.620 That happened.

00:04:02.820 Yeah, dude.

00:04:03.400 Dude, oh my...

00:04:04.040 Pikeville, Kentucky, brother.

00:04:05.360 Dude, that is wild, dude.

00:04:07.240 You don't need all your skull to party over there.

00:04:09.820 Dude, that is wild, dude.

00:04:11.800 Dude, people are fascinating, dude.

00:04:14.140 Oh, we had a guy, we used to have a really great, I want to say homeless guy, but a guy

00:04:18.900 who had, who was just kind of hadn't been home probably in a decent amount of time.

00:04:24.460 Unhoused.

00:04:25.000 Yeah, I would say unhoused.

00:04:25.560 I think that's the, right, yeah.

00:04:27.300 Yeah, and he, yeah.

00:04:28.640 And he, but when he smiled, he had a couple of his teeth in his hand that I guess had fallen

00:04:32.820 out or something, and when he'd smile, he would still make the shape, and he would show

00:04:37.220 you the teeth.

00:04:39.660 You know what I'm saying?

00:04:40.600 Like, it was like...

00:04:41.740 So he just had them.

00:04:42.900 He just keeps, that was kind of his party trick.

00:04:45.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:45.500 His help me out.

00:04:46.440 Like, does he, do you think he's like, need money for veneers?

00:04:50.360 Ooh, I don't know.

00:04:51.420 Now, that's the thing.

00:04:52.180 And then he's like, here's the teeth that I need.

00:04:53.580 Yeah, look, just for proof.

00:04:55.040 Just for proof.

00:04:55.980 I'm actually missing these teeth.

00:04:57.460 Just check my work here.

00:05:01.400 Yeah, people are just interested.

00:05:03.240 I mean, dude, even like the places you'll stay, like I stayed at a place the other night,

00:05:08.060 like sometimes we'll stay at some pretty nice spots, and sometimes, you know, it's just

00:05:12.400 a...

00:05:12.720 Like an outdoor, when the doors are on the outside.

00:05:15.600 Yeah.

00:05:15.840 You know, that you've arrived at a certain level of establishment.

00:05:19.980 Yeah, that's true.

00:05:20.460 And there's nowhere to go but down from that.

00:05:23.140 That's the top level of that.

00:05:25.260 Yes.

00:05:25.880 When there's doors inside.

00:05:27.420 And then as the doors get more and more open.

00:05:30.200 Yeah.

00:05:31.180 I went to, we checked in one.

00:05:33.620 It's, God, this had to be six years ago.

00:05:35.940 And we, it's like, you know, we played a show somewhere, Columbia, South Carolina.

00:05:39.360 And then we had a show in the Outer Banks the next day.

00:05:42.760 And this is like van and trailer, no manager.

00:05:45.180 It's just me and the band.

00:05:46.260 Like, I'm trying to check into the rooms and stuff.

00:05:48.900 So we drove from Columbia.

00:05:50.720 We're supposed to play a tailgate at Clemson the next morning.

00:05:54.160 So we're trying to, like, get that in, make an extra, like, $800, me and my guitar player,

00:05:58.100 and then get in the van and go play our show.

00:05:59.940 So we drive from Columbia to Clemson a couple hours.

00:06:02.820 You know, the show's over at, like, 11 or 12.

00:06:04.740 Yeah. 0.99

00:06:05.500 So then we get to the damn hotel. 0.99

00:06:07.940 It's, you know, 2 in the morning. 0.99

00:06:10.580 Checking all the rooms.

00:06:11.620 I get all the bangers in the rooms.

00:06:13.160 And it's one of these doors on the outside.

00:06:16.080 And I go to my door.

00:06:17.740 Door's open, dude.

00:06:19.020 It's already open.

00:06:20.400 It's already cracked a little bit. 1.00

00:06:22.220 This door's already talking shit. 0.99

00:06:23.720 And the lights are on in the room. 1.00

00:06:26.520 And I'm like, man, this is probably good.

00:06:29.640 So pop in that room, dude, and there must have – it looked like the cicadas came out of the room.

00:06:36.060 Really?

00:06:36.820 It wasn't cicadas.

00:06:37.700 It was every bug known to me.

00:06:39.280 Oh, yeah.

00:06:39.920 Because the doors are on the outside.

00:06:41.120 It's been open for – since checkout, which is at least 12 hours, dude, with all the lights in the room on.

00:06:50.260 Go to the desk, and I'm like, hey, I'm an easy guy.

00:06:53.960 Yeah, I hate to complain.

00:06:54.960 But I can't sleep in a room full of bugs.

00:06:57.460 And they were like, ooh, we don't have any other rooms.

00:07:00.560 That was the last – that's the last room.

00:07:02.920 But there's nobody in the parking lot.

00:07:04.700 No, there's nobody there.

00:07:06.360 Well, it's more of an extended type.

00:07:09.160 Oh, I see what you're saying.

00:07:10.120 Stay, I would imagine.

00:07:11.720 Yeah, if they have a blender in there, that's extended stay.

00:07:14.440 When there's anything to cook with, you've reached another level.

00:07:18.920 Yeah, another level of a hotel.

00:07:21.460 Yeah, some hotels there's – well, one time I remember I called down to the front desk.

00:07:25.980 I was like, hey, do you guys have internet?

00:07:29.220 And the guy's like, let me check.

00:07:30.940 And I'm like –

00:07:31.520 Let me check.

00:07:32.780 Let me check.

00:07:33.460 Let me see.

00:07:35.540 Hold on.

00:07:35.820 I haven't heard of that.

00:07:36.640 Yeah.

00:07:37.160 I'll get back to you.

00:07:37.980 But then I hear him.

00:07:39.880 He's actually clicking it up on the computer.

00:07:42.280 He goes to Google.

00:07:43.480 Do we have internet?

00:07:45.000 Google search.

00:07:45.760 It just – dude, one time we stopped in Lexington, and I went in to check in, and it was kind of during the pandemic.

00:07:52.240 So people were kind of on their wits end here and there.

00:07:54.740 Sure, sure.

00:07:55.380 And you'd see people wearing neck braces for no reason, all type of stuff.

00:07:59.320 People didn't know what was going on.

00:08:01.120 Yeah, assorted medical devices.

00:08:02.760 Yeah, it was very assorted medical.

00:08:06.600 This dude, I go in there, and it took him forever, bro, to just find out if there's a room.

00:08:10.220 And I was like, is there anything I can do to expedite this?

00:08:13.660 And he's like, I'm sorry, sir.

00:08:15.900 And then he goes, you know, I used to be in a wheelchair.

00:08:19.380 And I was like, oh, he used to be.

00:08:24.120 Well, that's the thing.

00:08:25.440 So he's not currently in it.

00:08:26.980 No, and it wasn't like I was just out of a wheelchair, like work with me here.

00:08:30.680 It was just like throwing something from the past, I think.

00:08:33.840 Once.

00:08:34.480 Yeah.

00:08:34.800 I had a broken arm at one time.

00:08:36.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:08:36.740 It's not currently broken, but it was.

00:08:38.600 Yeah, excuse me.

00:08:39.740 Did he give you any kind of – so he's making an excuse for just you trying to hurry him up.

00:08:47.120 There's no reason to hurry things here. 0.99

00:08:48.700 He's like, hey, man, give me a fucking break. 0.97

00:08:50.500 Yeah, I used to be. 0.99

00:08:51.040 I used to be in a wheelchair.

00:08:52.040 I used to be in a wheelchair.

00:08:53.140 I was like, I used to be in the fifth grade.

00:08:56.900 We can't just –

00:08:58.160 It doesn't really matter that you used to be.

00:09:01.280 Yeah, and keep the chair on.

00:09:02.940 If you still are in a wheelchair, like if I notice to see somebody in a wheelchair, I'm going to be like, what can I – you know, I'm going to work with you here. 0.99

00:09:08.580 I'll even, you know, I'll even take a ride with you or whatever, but like if there's somebody who's like, yeah, I used to be or –

00:09:15.580 Yeah.

00:09:16.240 You know, but anyway, nice to see you, man.

00:09:19.300 Yeah.

00:09:19.940 Here we are.

00:09:20.740 We fired right into the dog medicine hands guy fast, dude.

00:09:24.400 Dude, yeah.

00:09:24.880 Some of that, though, stay in different places.

00:09:27.340 I mean, it's –

00:09:28.580 It's –

00:09:30.100 It gets easier to – it's easier to rough it when you're younger.

00:09:34.800 Dude, for sure.

00:09:35.620 Well, once you haven't not roughed it.

00:09:38.120 Right.

00:09:38.580 Like when that's – when roughing it is the only experience, which was –

00:09:42.280 Right.

00:09:42.380 That's what it was forever, dude.

00:09:44.620 I mean, in the van, you know, the 15-passenger van, it's like –

00:09:47.700 Oh, you had that long boy, huh?

00:09:49.020 The long – yeah, man.

00:09:50.540 God.

00:09:50.580 Because that's – but when we had back rows out, and it's all the gear.

00:09:53.840 Oh, yeah.

00:09:54.460 So it's less than 15 seats.

00:09:56.360 Yeah.

00:09:56.600 But there's like six guys in there, all these amps, guitars, like – it was a mess, dude.

00:10:03.520 It was truly a mess.

00:10:05.160 Yeah.

00:10:05.400 I feel bad for some people now, though, like I think of – like, let's say you're a new artist.

00:10:10.380 And let's say you have a song that blows up on the internet or whatever, and then you're just thrust into like this really like official version of yourself, even if you're maybe not like ready for that.

00:10:23.060 Oh, I see what you're saying. Even if you just have one or two songs, like you can have something blow up so hard online that –

00:10:28.980 And that you have to get a label and all this stuff, and you – it's not that – that's sick, dude.

00:10:34.020 I'm glad that people have the capability to like – to achieve that for themselves now, because that was something that wasn't really achievable up until like maybe seven or eight years ago, I think.

00:10:44.780 Yeah.

00:10:44.920 But you miss so much of like all those good memories from like the road and like when it sucked and like playing bars and nobody's there.

00:10:52.840 And all my like favorite stories, man, from like my music career, a lot of them are from that time.

00:10:59.180 Yeah.

00:10:59.760 Like from the like unofficial days, you know what I mean?

00:11:02.500 Like there's no like – like an unofficial biography, dude, you know what I mean?

00:11:08.000 It's like – it's – those are the days.

00:11:10.140 But I feel like people are missing that a little bit.

00:11:12.300 Yeah.

00:11:12.820 Like if you just go right on the tour bus, dude, like there's no – there's no strife.

00:11:16.640 Like that's all you know.

00:11:17.720 That's a good point.

00:11:18.680 It's kind of like catch one hit or one like melody that really like catches fire on social media and then you can be opening up for someone.

00:11:28.020 For sure.

00:11:28.540 And then you go – that's your first experience being on the road is I'm in a bus and I play in arenas.

00:11:33.440 Wow.

00:11:33.800 Which, dude, that would be super sick.

00:11:35.760 Right.

00:11:35.940 It's amazing.

00:11:36.520 But still, it could set you up for some reality.

00:11:38.720 Because what happens when you start way up here – and not that that's all the way at the top, but if you kick past people that have been doing it for 10 years and then all of a sudden you're – because like in country, there's a lot of these like guitar pulls and stuff where you like – like let's say there's three or four of us up here.

00:11:56.240 We're all new artists.

00:11:57.380 We're all playing for this radio station thing or whatever.

00:12:00.260 It's like let's say one of those guys makes it to the thing.

00:12:03.600 Right.

00:12:03.860 Well, let me – so let me just paint an example of what could happen.

00:12:07.580 You're a new guy or gal and you have a song that blows up and that's sick, dude.

00:12:12.240 I'm pumped for anybody that that happens to.

00:12:14.700 But all of a sudden you're at the same level of let's say in the vacuum of this story, the new artist that you're up there with is Chris Stapleton.

00:12:23.840 Right.

00:12:25.200 And then you're sitting up there.

00:12:27.220 You maybe have never met anybody you're playing with and they're like, all right, man, this Chris guy is going to go first and then you'll play a song after him, dude.

00:12:34.860 Wow.

00:12:35.080 And he fires into just the most singing-ass, guitar-playing-ass thing you've ever heard.

00:12:40.980 The guy's played a thousand shows, dude.

00:12:43.600 God.

00:12:44.100 And you're up there going, I got to play after this.

00:12:48.460 And I have to do it five more times in front of all these people.

00:12:52.180 Yeah.

00:12:52.380 And he's going to just blow the doors off.

00:12:55.000 It's like you've entered your Honda Civic that won a race in your neighborhood against the guy driving a NASCAR.

00:13:02.000 It's like, it's so hard to compete against that.

00:13:05.020 Yeah, dude.

00:13:05.920 Oh, no doubt.

00:13:06.760 And your song has a dance that goes with it.

00:13:09.120 Right.

00:13:10.000 And it's acoustic.

00:13:11.300 So the version where the dance is cool is not even the one you get to play at this thing.

00:13:15.760 Because it's just you and, like, some guy that plays guitar you met at a coffee shop, you know?

00:13:20.280 But do you think, though, it could be a sign of, like, the way that things will be?

00:13:26.480 Yeah.

00:13:26.580 I remember when, like, because there started, I remember when vloggers came out, right?

00:13:30.420 Yep.

00:13:30.660 And there were people vlogging.

00:13:32.280 I didn't even know what was going on.

00:13:33.880 And people were, and there was, like.

00:13:34.940 People were trashing it.

00:13:36.100 Yeah.

00:13:36.680 People would trash it for sure.

00:13:38.420 But those guys would sell out.

00:13:40.980 The vloggers would sell out comedy clubs, like, around the country.

00:13:44.520 Like, people would come.

00:13:45.560 Yep.

00:13:45.660 And they would do kind of Q&A with their fans.

00:13:47.800 Yep.

00:13:47.940 And so that kind of came out of nowhere.

00:13:51.560 And then I just wonder, like, if the future is more, you know.

00:13:57.460 Instant.

00:13:57.900 Right.

00:13:58.240 Like, instant success.

00:13:59.720 Right.

00:14:00.060 And no judgment of it.

00:14:01.220 No, dude.

00:14:01.780 But just looking at it.

00:14:02.520 I mean, it's just the sign of the times.

00:14:03.380 I think just from, you know, maybe in 30 years or whatever, that's just, like you're saying,

00:14:08.380 that's the only way it happens.

00:14:10.480 Right.

00:14:10.620 That's what I'm wondering.

00:14:11.320 I wonder if things just evolve where that's the only way.

00:14:13.600 But eventually, like, that thing will be monopolized by somebody.

00:14:17.680 Like, somebody will figure that out.

00:14:20.720 It's probably already happening in some ways.

00:14:22.740 Either, I don't know, the powers that be, whatever you want to call it, will figure out

00:14:27.220 some way to make this thing.

00:14:29.340 Okay, here's the formula for how you do this.

00:14:31.180 Right.

00:14:31.400 And how you break this.

00:14:32.180 That's probably already happening a lot, to be honest.

00:14:34.380 And here's how we do.

00:14:35.840 We got a new guy. 0.92

00:14:36.960 He looks fucking really cool. 0.82

00:14:39.360 So here's this cool song. 0.97

00:14:41.540 And then go sing this cool song.

00:14:43.120 And that's cool.

00:14:43.860 Yeah.

00:14:44.120 And then they're like, great.

00:14:45.020 And that guy's already signed his deal.

00:14:47.080 Yeah.

00:14:47.440 But everybody thinks, you know, what's the thing that people, the conspiracy theories

00:14:51.420 of, oh, that guy's an industry plant.

00:14:53.360 Oh, yeah.

00:14:53.740 That's the best.

00:14:54.160 Like, that's not a really good thing.

00:14:55.780 I don't think, dude.

00:14:57.280 Like, I don't think that's a thing.

00:14:58.820 Especially in, like, if you're, like, going to look at, like, real country culture, like,

00:15:02.960 an industry plant, dude.

00:15:05.680 People would notice anybody that can button their shirt up correctly the first time.

00:15:11.120 Yeah.

00:15:11.320 They'd be like, this guy's going to be something, dude.

00:15:13.560 Oh, yeah.

00:15:14.100 Yeah.

00:15:14.400 Oh, dude, in our neighborhood, yeah.

00:15:15.900 If somebody had gasoline, people would be like, look at this narc.

00:15:20.520 They're like, look at this guy with his car over here, dude.

00:15:23.520 You know what I mean?

00:15:23.600 It's like, oh, you're working for the cops?

00:15:25.020 Yeah.

00:15:25.140 That was the biggest thing when I was growing up was always accusing people of being narcs,

00:15:28.460 dude. 1.00

00:15:29.040 Somebody would get a new pair of shoes and be like, yeah, Ronnie's a fucking narc. 1.00

00:15:32.940 Look at him. 0.99

00:15:33.600 He's working with the man, dude.

00:15:35.640 He's obviously an informant, dude.

00:15:37.600 This guy.

00:15:38.300 Yeah, dude.

00:15:40.880 But, oh, man, it's definitely going to be.

00:15:43.100 But then it's like, where does it, I always wonder, where does it progress from there?

00:15:46.420 Like, where do you, like, when that's the new thing, what's the next new thing?

00:15:50.600 There'll always be another, like, version of, like, what's the way to, your path to, like,

00:15:56.820 achieving your music dreams or your comedy dreams or whatever it may be.

00:16:01.880 Like, the path is ever evolving.

00:16:03.460 Yeah.

00:16:03.820 Like, I think, really, the first guy in country music that used social media to his advantage

00:16:13.040 was, like, Kane Brown and, like, probably me.

00:16:16.740 Yeah.

00:16:16.960 Like, the first guys that, like, came to Nashville.

00:16:19.180 We had kind of our own fans going on.

00:16:21.960 Like, the internet helped us get fans.

00:16:24.000 And then we came to town.

00:16:25.140 It was like, well, these guys already got stuff going on.

00:16:27.500 So, and I'm in no way, like, shaming anybody that does that.

00:16:30.840 Oh, not at all.

00:16:30.940 Because I was the first.

00:16:32.300 Yeah.

00:16:32.660 One of the first guys that, like, and I didn't even know I was doing it, dude.

00:16:36.320 Like, I wasn't.

00:16:37.180 Now people are probably smart enough to, like, they're doing that because they're smart.

00:16:41.220 Right.

00:16:41.280 I was just doing it because I was like, oh, well, this will kind of.

00:16:44.040 So, like, I was like, you know what I'm going to do is get all these followers and sell them

00:16:49.020 my songs.

00:16:49.760 Right.

00:16:50.000 Like, there was never that.

00:16:51.280 Well, you started on Vine, right?

00:16:52.640 Yeah.

00:16:52.780 Was that the social media platform?

00:16:54.160 Yeah.

00:16:54.380 And that's the thing, too.

00:16:55.340 It's like, yeah, you don't know where the next social media platform is going to come.

00:16:58.580 Right.

00:16:58.880 This is a crazy thing.

00:16:59.980 And there's a lot of artists out there who are like, man, maybe I don't find my way with

00:17:04.120 this social media platform.

00:17:05.660 Right.

00:17:05.820 But there could be one about to be invented that's going to be the one that fits you.

00:17:09.500 There's always something, because what does it start with?

00:17:12.280 It starts with MySpace.

00:17:14.380 Right.

00:17:14.940 MySpace.

00:17:16.160 Facebook.

00:17:16.800 Instagram.

00:17:18.000 Dude, remember they also had, like, Friends, or they had some other weird things that.

00:17:21.100 No, TikTok, wasn't it musically?

00:17:25.120 It was before?

00:17:25.900 And it was only where people would, like, lip sync to songs.

00:17:29.180 That was the only thing.

00:17:30.400 And I remember seeing it, and I was like, man, this is a weird platform.

00:17:34.140 And they rebranded, and it was the hugest thing ever.

00:17:37.040 Oh, wait.

00:17:37.340 Was that where people would do duets together?

00:17:39.060 Yeah.

00:17:39.500 No way.

00:17:40.260 That was TikTok.

00:17:41.140 That was the original version of TikTok was that thing.

00:17:44.780 I had, like, a secret account there, like a Finsta account or whatever, and I would

00:17:47.940 go and do these duets with these Japanese people. 0.98

00:17:51.200 It's a lot of Asian singers on there, and there was always duets.

00:17:56.080 You could do it any time of the day with people from around the world.

00:17:59.800 Yep.

00:18:00.440 Yep.

00:18:00.860 I mean, that's invaluable.

00:18:02.540 Yeah, musical.ly, musically.

00:18:05.700 Oh, that's a horrible name.

00:18:07.100 So they merged.

00:18:08.560 So they merged.

00:18:09.620 So TikTok was another, I guess, its own company.

00:18:13.740 Yeah.

00:18:14.080 They kept the name.

00:18:14.980 When you have a B flat or whatever that is in your word of your name, dude, that's

00:18:19.860 I'm out.

00:18:20.580 Yeah.

00:18:20.880 Yeah.

00:18:21.640 Not great marketing there, dude.

00:18:23.640 You know?

00:18:24.280 Oh, I didn't know that's who that was, though.

00:18:26.440 Yep.

00:18:27.040 Because I remember when it came out, I was like, man, this is, like, brutal, dude.

00:18:29.880 This is not gonna.

00:18:31.020 Yeah.

00:18:31.440 But they figured something out, dude.

00:18:33.060 For anybody who had the app already, musically, it just became TikTok.

00:18:36.860 Like, I remember it was an old app on my phone.

00:18:38.920 He had it, dude.

00:18:40.060 He was ripping, dude.

00:18:41.400 Yeah, this dude.

00:18:42.060 You were ripping duets, dude.

00:18:43.800 Pull up some of your duets on musically, dude.

00:18:45.260 Yeah, this guy's been vaping all day.

00:18:46.580 Let's get those, dude.

00:18:47.780 Let's get those going. 0.84

00:18:48.760 Let's be honest.

00:18:49.400 There's a whole popcorn lung in there, dude.

00:18:51.220 He's.

00:18:52.060 He's.

00:18:54.220 Dude.

00:18:56.720 Well, now, is it hard to make more, is it hard, like, once you've had, you've had, you've

00:19:02.580 been real fortunate and had a great career, right?

00:19:04.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:19:04.960 The luckiest dude ever, yeah.

00:19:06.540 Yeah.

00:19:07.500 And I didn't mean it like that.

00:19:08.500 No, I feel, I feel, I feel that way, dude.

00:19:11.120 Anybody who gets, yeah, it's like you get, obviously, there's a lot of good fortune that's

00:19:14.540 going your way.

00:19:15.140 But I've, dude, I've thought this a million times.

00:19:17.080 I thought, before my last record come out, before the one before that came out, I'm

00:19:21.540 like, dude, this is as, like, the best I'll ever be, dude.

00:19:24.880 And, like, I, everything I do from here out is just going to be bad.

00:19:27.740 Yeah.

00:19:28.160 And it's like, I don't know why, like, it's human nature to some extent.

00:19:32.600 Maybe.

00:19:32.960 Yeah, I think it's, yeah, that seems normal.

00:19:34.520 Like, cause then, like, when I put my last record out and then the fast car thing happened,

00:19:39.160 like, that was so unexpected.

00:19:40.840 Like, it was not, never in a million years that I think, what will be the biggest song of your

00:19:45.500 whole career, definitely wouldn't have, cover a fast car would not have been on the list.

00:19:50.080 Yeah.

00:19:50.460 Not because I didn't love that song, but, like, I really recorded it on kind of a whim because

00:19:55.200 we had some extra time in the studio.

00:19:56.780 Yeah.

00:19:57.040 And so, sometimes those decisions can be the best decisions, you know?

00:20:01.920 But I do think, I'm like, man, well, you know, I mean, I'm sitting here right now and

00:20:05.940 I could tell you that today I've, at some point, mulled over my, what happens next or what's

00:20:11.580 my next thing, and God's like, nobody cares, dude, and if I don't do this thing, then nobody's

00:20:17.080 going to listen.

00:20:18.100 Right.

00:20:18.300 And I'm just like, bro, I'm going to be playing for 120,000 people this weekend, and I'm still

00:20:22.840 going, well, nobody cares, dude.

00:20:25.000 Nobody wants to see me or anything.

00:20:28.140 And it's just like, I have to, like, remind myself all the time of, like, if I try to have

00:20:33.260 this conversation with myself is if I had the thought processes that I go over with myself

00:20:38.640 in my head now, if I had them with myself 10 years ago, what would myself 10 years ago say?

00:20:46.360 Because this will be my 10th year in Nashville in September.

00:20:48.800 I see.

00:20:49.480 And so, I go, man, well, I, you know, nobody cares if I post this Instagram story and it

00:20:55.720 only gets, only 150,000 people liked it, which is insane, an insane thought process.

00:21:02.920 Oh, yeah, it's a lot of folks.

00:21:04.180 But it's like, but you, that's what I think to myself today, and I base, like, well, did

00:21:09.820 this post, did it do good?

00:21:11.460 And I'm like.

00:21:12.160 And if you feel like it wasn't, then suddenly you're not good.

00:21:14.840 But, dude, 10 years ago, 150,000 people had never even heard of me before, ever, dude.

00:21:20.300 Like, never, ever.

00:21:21.560 So, and then again, I'm like, also, I got two little kids at home, and I'm like, my oldest

00:21:25.540 son isn't even two yet.

00:21:27.800 Oh, so he definitely is probably still eating for free over there, huh?

00:21:30.980 Yeah, he's not pulling his weight at all, dude, it's brutal, you know, the guy's got

00:21:34.380 to get to work, you know?

00:21:35.660 I mean, it's time.

00:21:36.820 They should have.

00:21:37.640 It's time.

00:21:38.140 I love, I know how there's a lot of play pins for children, but how about a work pin?

00:21:41.760 You know what I'm saying?

00:21:42.480 A work pin, dude.

00:21:43.880 We don't need a lot of work in there, but.

00:21:45.260 It could just be, like, things that could be considered play.

00:21:48.060 Yeah.

00:21:48.300 You know what I mean?

00:21:48.940 Like, hit this nail into this thing.

00:21:51.100 Right, some, yes.

00:21:51.880 But how do we get, like, chainmail gloves on so that they don't hurt themselves?

00:21:56.420 You know?

00:21:56.960 Like a chainmail mittens for your child.

00:21:59.860 Yeah.

00:21:59.920 So you can have a Game of Thrones Halloween costume on that.

00:22:03.240 Absolutely.

00:22:03.800 How do we get chainmail on these children?

00:22:06.460 Chainmail.

00:22:07.220 Chainmail children, dude.

00:22:08.260 Dibs on that band name, by the way.

00:22:09.500 Oh, that's a good name. 0.80

00:22:10.180 Chainmail children is sick, dude.

00:22:12.720 Chainmail children's a good name. 0.87

00:22:13.960 Yeah.

00:22:13.980 Someone on that, like, post-punk.

00:22:18.720 Chainmail children.

00:22:19.600 Chainmail children.

00:22:20.460 That's what I'm going to see tonight.

00:22:21.360 Basement East, chainmail children, dude.

00:22:23.800 Are they playing tonight?

00:22:24.620 They're playing tonight.

00:22:25.300 Chainmail children, yeah. 1.00

00:22:26.100 Oh, damn, dude. 1.00

00:22:26.960 I heard about them. 1.00

00:22:27.800 What did I hear about them?

00:22:28.500 They come to the show.

00:22:29.420 You heard about it on this past weekend.

00:22:31.160 Oh, really?

00:22:32.260 And, yeah, and myself.

00:22:33.680 Was that it?

00:22:34.640 Yeah.

00:22:34.820 I don't know if that was it.

00:22:35.720 That was the first reference to their career.

00:22:37.960 Really?

00:22:38.320 Yeah, it was.

00:22:39.200 Yeah.

00:22:39.820 It was, yeah.

00:22:41.520 Dude, I remember I went to, oh, Marilyn Manson was the first show that I ever went to.

00:22:49.140 What was that like?

00:22:50.220 It was scary, dude.

00:22:51.840 How old were you?

00:22:53.160 I was 16.

00:22:53.920 They played in a bar.

00:22:55.100 Oh, man.

00:22:55.760 Maybe I was 15.

00:22:56.540 15 or 16 around there.

00:22:57.940 You say they, like?

00:22:59.920 The band, or, yeah, like.

00:23:01.560 Is there a band?

00:23:02.380 Is it like.

00:23:02.920 Oh, is Marilyn Manson.

00:23:03.700 Is it just him?

00:23:04.820 No, he has a.

00:23:05.720 So there's a band and stuff.

00:23:06.960 Like, I've never seen the show.

00:23:09.400 Yeah.

00:23:09.680 That's a good point.

00:23:10.160 Is there a band?

00:23:11.540 Yeah, like, you can't really think of, like, somebody being behind that guy with a trumpet.

00:23:14.920 Right, like, like a march, like a drum line.

00:23:18.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:23:18.820 It'd be interesting.

00:23:19.460 Who'd they have?

00:23:19.920 They had Twiggy Ramirez.

00:23:21.460 They, um, I don't know who's still in it.

00:23:25.080 Oh, so this is like, there's a whole, there's kind of a persona to the band as well then,

00:23:30.620 huh?

00:23:30.740 Oh, yeah.

00:23:31.200 The whole band was, I think, semi-deceased or whatever is what they were going for.

00:23:35.380 Semi-deceased?

00:23:36.440 Another great band there.

00:23:37.760 By the way, we got to trademark all these, dude.

00:23:40.660 Semi-deceased opening for chainmail children.

00:23:42.760 Chainmail children.

00:23:43.440 Oh, that happens.

00:23:44.700 That happens, dude.

00:23:46.180 And there's mosh pit training if you show up a half hour early, bro.

00:23:50.380 That was the best.

00:23:51.560 Safety training.

00:23:52.500 Yeah.

00:23:52.740 Gotta stay safe in the mosh pit. 0.96

00:23:54.360 Dude, my buddy used to referee mosh pits and he would give him, like, 50 bucks a night

00:23:58.420 or something.

00:23:59.280 Wait, so is there penalties?

00:24:03.940 Like, is there laundry on the field, dude?

00:24:05.960 Like, is he like, beep, beep, beep?

00:24:07.520 Well, hold on, dude.

00:24:08.920 You hit that guy improper, dude.

00:24:10.840 Improper hit, dude.

00:24:11.820 Is it, like, a bouncer situation?

00:24:13.940 I think, well, yeah.

00:24:15.360 He's just, like, he was the guy that's, like, but he wasn't, like, don't hurt this guy.

00:24:20.820 He was, like, just don't call him the stage.

00:24:22.420 No, he was, no.

00:24:23.360 Stay away from the stage.

00:24:24.000 No, he was, like, once the mosh pit got going, he would kind of cruise in and out of it, 0.66

00:24:27.920 kind of, like, keeping things cool, whistle, sometimes a little flashlight.

00:24:32.940 It'd be sick to have a guy in there that's just, like, you get a couple, like, lesser-known

00:24:37.640 UFC guys, and you just kind of put him in the crowd, and you're, like, dude, just wreck

00:24:43.600 people in there.

00:24:44.740 You know what I'm, like, if some guy's out of hand, just flatline this dude, right, in

00:24:49.500 front of everybody.

00:24:50.540 Everyone's, like, man, we should chill a little bit, you know?

00:24:52.440 Yes, just make, just become your own policeman.

00:24:54.860 Yeah, this is it.

00:24:55.580 Oh, okay.

00:24:56.720 Oh, that guy didn't like some of the other guy's behavior.

00:24:58.660 So, that guy was, in theory, what your friend was, what I just said.

00:25:03.540 Yep.

00:25:03.820 You go in and just jaw a guy and make an example out of somebody.

00:25:07.300 I love that, dude.

00:25:08.760 What a gig, dude.

00:25:10.100 $50?

00:25:11.140 That seems underpaid for that thing a little bit, dude.

00:25:14.120 I think, yeah, we probably, they might have been some, some fiscal discrepancies over there.

00:25:20.400 You know, I've had some bad habits, and I've tried to kick them, and sometimes I'll go a

00:25:26.340 few weeks, and I'm doing well, and sometimes I have a setback, you know?

00:25:30.100 And it's, it's true that 73% of Americans have a bad habit or behavior that, that they

00:25:36.960 find unhealthy.

00:25:38.920 Well, fortunately, there is fume.

00:25:42.680 That's right.

00:25:43.960 Fume works through a passive diffusion system that uses no electronics, vapor, or combustion,

00:25:50.700 just natural oils.

00:25:52.160 So, you can use it outdoors and indoors as well.

00:25:55.460 Well, I like my fume.

00:25:57.800 It kind of occupies my mind, occupies my time, helps me get over cravings.

00:26:03.000 It's really good if you're a nervous fidgeter, because it comes with a calming anxiety magnet

00:26:08.080 sort of contraption that just takes your mind off of things for a second.

00:26:13.060 It looks pretty awesome, too.

00:26:14.500 It's kind of timeless looking, kind of old and new.

00:26:17.940 It's free of toxins.

00:26:19.320 It's totally safe.

00:26:20.240 It has no nicotine in it.

00:26:22.060 That's right.

00:26:22.840 Fume is not a vape.

00:26:24.260 No vapor.

00:26:24.840 You can use it anywhere.

00:26:26.060 No nicotine.

00:26:26.940 It's not addictive.

00:26:28.520 Non-toxic flavors.

00:26:30.220 It's a guilt-free alternative.

00:26:32.500 It's its own thing.

00:26:33.600 And it's given me the best chance at battling my bad habits.

00:26:37.780 So, to start your journey with the good habit and get a free gift with your journey pack,

00:28:25.700 I mean, Fathers and Sons, your new album is coming up.

00:28:28.320 Yeah.

00:28:28.800 Right?

00:28:29.140 That's wild.

00:28:30.380 Yeah.

00:28:30.660 It's like, you know, it's crazy to like, it's like for the sake of what it is, like not having

00:28:37.340 really talked about it at all, really.

00:28:39.020 Is it, you know, when you put out a new album, does it, how tough is it to like, cause like,

00:28:45.680 you know what your fans like kind of are people that come to see you have a general idea.

00:28:50.300 For sure.

00:28:50.720 And then do you, yeah.

00:28:51.420 Is it spooky to like try and change that, but also evolve for yourself?

00:28:55.220 And then like, who am I even becoming like that sort of thing?

00:28:58.580 Yeah, man.

00:28:59.040 And I think about that a lot, you know, going back to when we were talking a little bit

00:29:02.420 ago, like, what do you think about yourself or your career?

00:29:05.180 What's next?

00:29:05.840 And it's, I've always, I've always said this to myself was like, I want to like grow up

00:29:12.140 with my fan base.

00:29:13.060 Like, you know, somebody that listened to me, that's been a fan of me.

00:29:16.640 Well, maybe it's been 10 years, dude.

00:29:18.280 I mean, I'm 34.

00:29:19.620 So when I was 24, I just moved to Nashville.

00:29:21.640 I did have some fans, not a lot, but some.

00:29:24.100 And I meet people that are like, dude, I was a fan, been a fan since the Vine days, dude.

00:29:27.560 You know, like I meet, still meet people that say that.

00:29:30.320 And so if you were a fan of mine, then let's say you were, even if you were 18, so you were

00:29:35.300 six years younger than me.

00:29:36.680 Well, now you're, you're not 18 anymore.

00:29:39.380 You're 28.

00:29:40.260 You know, you could be 28.

00:29:41.520 You could be married with kids, whatever it is like, you know, and there's a huge part of

00:29:46.360 me that, that I worry, like, well, will I age myself out?

00:29:51.380 Like, am I, does anybody even want to hear songs about being a dad or whatever?

00:29:55.960 And it's like, I hope so.

00:29:59.020 But like, I also, I don't want to, you know, I felt like I could go get with, you know, I'm

00:30:06.700 not the world's best writer, but I'm lucky to be friends with a lot of guys that are,

00:30:10.440 I feel like.

00:30:11.440 And so I could go get in a room with them and write, you know, something like Beard in a

00:30:16.060 Broke My Heart or, you know, When It Rains, It Pours.

00:30:18.980 Like, I could try to recreate that time and time again.

00:30:22.580 And I, sometimes I, like, I want to do that because I, selfishly, I'm like, well, that

00:30:28.420 would make me this or that would give me another big song or whatever.

00:30:31.960 But it's like, I've just been, you know, like I said, I've got, I've got two boys that

00:30:37.060 are under two years old, man.

00:30:38.160 So like, my life is dominated by the thoughts of like being there for them.

00:30:43.720 And like, you know, I want to be their dad first.

00:30:46.600 And so I, I, I had to like write this, I had to do this project because it's the only

00:30:53.360 thing that's been on my mind.

00:30:54.360 Like when I go get in the writing room and someone's like, man, let's write something

00:30:58.620 fun, dude.

00:30:59.560 And this uptempo thing.

00:31:01.420 And it's like, it's hard to like get in that mindset.

00:31:04.000 Cause all the things I'm doing is like, dude, like grilling dogs and like, yeah.

00:31:09.080 Like playing in the kiddie pool or whatever.

00:31:11.500 Like, but it's hard to like get in that, like the mindset of like, you know, yeah.

00:31:16.600 You can't have tickle that kiddo and have it be, uh, you know, chainmail children. 0.97

00:31:21.740 That's one of their songs.

00:31:24.140 And this is going to turn into fundraiser for kids who have been abused.

00:31:28.500 But, um, it's funny that you say some of that.

00:31:31.780 Cause I sat one, uh, one day I was sitting with this guy that owns a management company,

00:31:36.120 um, for comedians and probably the biggest management company and he was saying, well,

00:31:40.860 you want to grow up with your fan base, you know, you want to, cause they're going to evolve.

00:31:45.280 And if you just stay like this, like not stay, but if you're kind of a, you know, they, they, 0.61

00:31:52.220 if you fail to evolve, then it can be, you're just, you're not going to, it can become stale.

00:31:56.920 Yeah.

00:31:57.200 It's like, it just becomes, okay, man, well, I've, you know, I mean, if, except for the

00:32:02.300 one guy that's eaten 10,000 Big Macs or whatever it is, you can't eat at every meal, dude.

00:32:07.400 I mean, not that they're not good, but you want a little something like the menu's got

00:32:11.880 to expand a little bit and not that you can't come back to the classics at some point.

00:32:17.080 Oh yeah.

00:32:17.660 My mother would always get a McFish. 1.00

00:32:19.400 I remember McFish and it, it always, is that the pre-filet of fish?

00:32:26.060 The second she ordered it, I was like, I don't even know her anymore.

00:32:29.800 McFish, dude.

00:32:30.480 Isn't that crazy?

00:32:30.900 I didn't know they had it.

00:32:33.160 She did it to kind of be like.

00:32:34.520 She was evolving with her fan base, dog.

00:32:36.540 You know what I'm saying?

00:32:40.280 She was like.

00:32:41.100 She was.

00:32:41.580 We were learning a new stuff from her.

00:32:42.560 Yeah, you were learning a new flavor of the week, dude.

00:32:45.540 He's a McFish guy.

00:32:46.800 You know what I mean?

00:32:47.560 But she would like get us to be quiet and then she would order the McFish and I would

00:32:51.020 be like, nobody cares if we're loud while you order it.

00:32:56.800 It's not going to make us any not poor.

00:33:00.620 It's not going to make us.

00:33:02.220 The people at the window will think we have class if you guys aren't screaming while I

00:33:06.460 order this McFish.

00:33:07.900 You know what I mean?

00:33:08.560 That right there, Luke, that is exactly who my mother is.

00:33:12.100 That is exactly who she is.

00:33:13.960 I've never been able to put it in the horse. 1.00

00:33:16.420 You damn kids shut the hell up. 1.00

00:33:17.800 Let me horse McFish right now. 1.00

00:33:20.620 And it's like.

00:33:21.380 Yes.

00:33:22.520 Yeah.

00:33:22.720 Little Theodore will have a junior children's meal.

00:33:28.860 And I'll have.

00:33:30.460 She would get everybody. 1.00

00:33:31.860 She's definitely not a shit ass who stole a bike last week for sure. 1.00

00:33:36.520 And I'll have a McFish. 1.00

00:33:38.500 Like that was the classy.

00:33:42.580 They're like, now is that wild caught or is that farm raised?

00:33:47.800 I'll take blackened. 1.00

00:33:49.040 The blackened McFish. 0.99

00:33:50.320 I'll have.

00:33:50.900 Yeah.

00:33:52.200 Blackened. 1.00

00:33:52.760 Oh.

00:33:54.000 Such a tragedy.

00:33:55.180 Oh, it's wild caught, dude.

00:33:56.720 It says.

00:33:57.400 Is it real?

00:33:58.020 No.

00:33:59.680 Chance, dude.

00:34:00.500 That it's wild caught.

00:34:01.160 Oh, it does.

00:34:01.900 Hold on.

00:34:02.300 There is no chance, dude.

00:34:04.100 Well, Luke, now give them their chance.

00:34:06.060 Okay.

00:34:06.600 Look, Luke, this is probably legitimate information.

00:34:09.100 They have a JPEG with it.

00:34:10.360 Um, our fish sandwich recipe features a crispy fish filet patty.

00:34:15.720 That's the interest.

00:34:16.960 Filet patty is a weird term.

00:34:18.720 Filet patty. 0.99

00:34:19.920 Complete contradiction, dude.

00:34:21.700 Right there.

00:34:22.480 That's like saying, dude, this ribeye steak, that's now a hamburger, though.

00:34:26.620 Yeah.

00:34:26.900 Yeah.

00:34:27.100 But it was a ribeye steak at one point.

00:34:29.400 Yeah.

00:34:29.600 This filet McNugget is really up to no good.

00:34:33.920 Yeah.

00:34:34.200 It says wild caught Alaskan Pollock on melty American cheese and is topped with creamy McDonald's

00:34:40.660 tartar sauce.

00:34:41.320 Wow.

00:34:41.900 Next guest for the show needs to be a guy that works on the McDonald's fishing vessel.

00:34:47.180 Yes.

00:34:48.020 How do, like, cause we need a little bit of.

00:34:50.320 The McCaptain.

00:34:51.340 The McSkipper, dude. 0.52

00:34:54.380 Yeah, we need the McSkipper, dude. 0.79

00:34:58.260 Dude, we should get to the bottom of.

00:35:00.980 Is it really.

00:35:02.280 Fish.

00:35:02.720 Like, can we find the guy that caught my filet fish, dude?

00:35:06.260 My McFish.

00:35:07.600 Is he, he's out there, dude.

00:35:09.360 He's out there.

00:35:10.260 He's in Alaska right now, dude.

00:35:12.400 I don't know if he's in Alaska.

00:35:13.400 The salty dog, dude, that caught that McFish, dude, is out there, man. 1.00

00:35:18.360 Well, I believe that the guy's ever been to Alaska.

00:35:23.360 Wild caught, dude.

00:35:24.460 Wild caught, though.

00:35:26.080 That's the part I'm not sure of.

00:35:27.200 I don't even know what we've talked about so far.

00:35:29.500 But it's about father and something.

00:35:30.700 I know you have some new children, right?

00:35:32.400 Yep.

00:35:32.760 And I know your family moved here.

00:35:38.600 I remember hearing you talk before on Joe Rogan that your family had moved to.

00:35:43.100 My parents moved to town.

00:35:44.820 Yeah.

00:35:45.180 How's that been?

00:35:46.020 It's been awesome.

00:35:46.960 I mean, it's been, it's been an adjustment for them.

00:35:49.460 You know, I mean, we, you know, I, we, most of my life lived in Asheville.

00:35:53.140 Yeah.

00:35:53.300 North Carolina, so.

00:35:54.140 It's fun over there.

00:35:54.860 Orange Peel.

00:35:55.420 We played over there before.

00:35:56.400 I love the Orange Peel, man.

00:35:57.720 It's a great place.

00:35:58.640 That whole town is just, and also the hillside, you could like, just roll off of a building 0.74

00:36:03.800 and end up in a damn different county almost. 0.80

00:36:05.840 Yeah, you could, dude. 0.96

00:36:06.860 And it's, it's, but it was an adjustment period for, especially my dad.

00:36:11.320 You know what I mean?

00:36:11.800 Like, I mean, all his buddies live there and, you know, but it's, I remember a buddy of

00:36:17.380 mine telling me, you know, I think it's just, you know, it's the, it's the, like this whole

00:36:22.640 dad's project is just all these different thought processes that happen with, you know,

00:36:27.200 excuse me, the way my dad sees things and the way that I see things now and the way

00:36:33.520 I see things, maybe what was his perspective when he was doing this with me or, you know,

00:36:39.800 what are my kids going to think about me or how am I going to be remembered by them?

00:36:43.320 And I remember a friend of mine who wrote on this project with me, he was telling me

00:36:48.260 it was his dad's 70th birthday recently and he called his dad and he was like, well, you

00:36:55.280 know, old man, how's it feel?

00:36:56.440 You know, and he said, well, ain't no way around it, pal.

00:36:59.400 This is the ninth inning.

00:37:01.240 And I just remember being like, God, like what a thought, like what a like, and it was

00:37:07.780 just like, I remember like ever, I've never forgot that quote and because, you know, I

00:37:14.300 think that a lot of the, you know, the struggles that, you know, my, my dad had come in here

00:37:19.400 or it was a combination of like, okay, well he's moving on from, you know, they lived in

00:37:24.360 Nashville for 25 some years, dude, in the same house and like raised me there and all

00:37:29.100 these memories that are left behind and friends that are left behind and everything that you

00:37:33.480 know has changed.

00:37:34.200 And then also coming to terms with the fact that you, that you, you yourself are aging

00:37:39.460 and kind of like maybe that, that fear of what's next or, you know, how long do you have?

00:37:45.600 Like, I can't imagine what that process is like, but that quote stuck with me.

00:37:49.120 Did your relationship with your dad change after you had boys, you have two boys?

00:37:53.200 I have two boys.

00:37:53.980 Yeah.

00:37:54.420 And yeah, man, it became, you know, I had a lot more, um, I had a lot more understanding

00:38:01.180 and grace for, you know, decisions that, that he made or, you know, things that maybe I

00:38:08.260 did that I didn't understand.

00:38:09.700 Well, why is he upset about this thing?

00:38:11.380 Or why would this make him upset?

00:38:13.760 Like, you know, and I've had friends in the last couple of years that have lost their dads

00:38:18.140 and watching them go through that.

00:38:19.760 And it's just all, it's just this constant theme of like, that's where we are in life.

00:38:24.080 Like we're at this weird, like kind of turnover point where like people begin to lose their

00:38:29.280 parents and then you are, you like soon you will be the oldest man in your family, which

00:38:37.040 is a scary thought, even though I'm only 34, but like, you're like, okay, well, if I'm 40,

00:38:43.280 am I like, I'm the oldest generation of maybe man that my children will know.

00:38:49.240 Yeah.

00:38:49.720 It's a weird thought.

00:38:50.840 It's a weird thought.

00:38:51.960 You know, it's just like, it's a strange, it's a strange, strange time for sure.

00:38:56.720 In a good way, but it's just, yeah, there's so many little phases you go through.

00:39:00.840 Like, like you, you know, you could be a son, a brother, an uncle, a dad, a grandpa, you

00:39:07.240 know, there's all like these little roles and stuff that you have.

00:39:10.340 And yeah, getting older, like almost all my friends have children except me. 0.99

00:39:14.840 I was like, I got to get some damn children, but you can't just be yelling that off your 0.99

00:39:18.160 back porch, you know? 1.00

00:39:19.220 Yeah.

00:39:19.880 So you got to actually have a game plan too and get a spouse. 0.62

00:39:23.580 That would be a good strategy for sure.

00:39:26.240 That'd be a good start for sure.

00:39:28.120 You know, it'd be a good start, good jumping off point.

00:39:32.100 I think, you know, um, what were some of the songs I listened to, uh, Front Door Famous.

00:39:37.040 That's awesome.

00:39:38.160 Yeah.

00:39:38.380 I love that.

00:39:38.860 That one made me, that one made me really like feel something, you know?

00:39:42.040 Yeah.

00:39:42.700 I love the whole thing, man.

00:39:44.300 It turned out we could, you know, I cut the record live.

00:39:46.380 So it was just like, we just cut it on the floor.

00:39:49.260 Like me, two different sessions.

00:39:51.360 One, one evening we cut five songs.

00:39:53.440 The other evening we cut seven.

00:39:54.960 And so when you say cut it live, like what does that term mean?

00:39:57.220 So like, we would just like, well, let's say we're in a room like this and it's almost

00:40:01.720 set up like a show in the studio and then they just hit record and play the whole thing

00:40:07.120 down.

00:40:07.460 And like, that's what you're hearing.

00:40:09.080 You know, we did that twice for each song and then they went, okay, well this one's better

00:40:12.740 than the other one.

00:40:13.480 So that's the one we're using.

00:40:14.340 So it's just, there's no, like when we normally make a record, you know, it's not,

00:40:19.500 it's more of a timed.

00:40:21.680 So like, I think you'd have to fact check me on this, but like, I don't think in some

00:40:26.580 ways that Stapleton gets the credit he deserves because he records all of his records like that.

00:40:31.040 Wow.

00:40:31.580 And it's so hard to do that, dude.

00:40:33.620 Like you have to be, the artist has to be so dialed in.

00:40:37.740 Obviously the musicians are unbelievable anyways.

00:40:40.980 Like those guys.

00:40:41.380 So it's just one take, that's it.

00:40:43.260 Yeah.

00:40:43.720 Or, or, and if you mess up, it's like, well, we got to do another take now.

00:40:46.700 It's not like, there's no stopping and starting.

00:40:49.520 There's no mixing and matching.

00:40:50.700 There's no mixing and matching.

00:40:52.000 It's all just top to bottom.

00:40:54.560 Like, you know, and I would do every record if I could like that.

00:40:57.820 I enjoyed that process so much.

00:40:59.220 Cause like the stakes feel high, you know?

00:41:02.520 Right.

00:41:02.800 Feels like it just means something.

00:41:03.800 Like, Hey man, like I gotta like bring something to this take, dude.

00:41:06.580 Like it's not another sing this line six times.

00:41:10.120 And then if you package it together.

00:41:11.680 Right.

00:41:12.000 So it separates in a lot of, dude.

00:41:14.020 And I'm not, I mean, with the Stapletons of the world, like it separates the, the, you

00:41:18.280 know, the, the strong from the weak.

00:41:20.340 Like if every record had to be recorded like that, a lot of your favorite artists would

00:41:24.420 not be recorded.

00:41:25.400 Yeah.

00:41:25.860 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:26.560 Like it just, it takes such a level of talent and I'm not saying that I have that.

00:41:31.640 I don't want to sound like that, but when you look at the criticism of the world and

00:41:35.480 the other people that do that.

00:41:36.880 And I mean, the studio musicians deserve so much credit, dude.

00:41:40.020 I mean, those guys are wicked, dude.

00:41:41.660 I mean, it is unreal how good those guys are, man.

00:41:44.520 Yeah.

00:41:45.220 Such underappreciated.

00:41:46.480 I never been a studio musician, but it looks insanely hard.

00:41:50.600 And it's really, it's a lot of the best people in the world.

00:41:53.280 Really.

00:41:53.700 I would say, yeah, a lot of the best musicians in the world live in Nashville.

00:41:57.800 I mean, without a doubt.

00:41:58.960 And not just country singers, we're talking bass players, guitar players, drummers.

00:42:03.500 And it's like a lot of them are guys that unless you live in that super niche community,

00:42:07.880 like you've never heard of.

00:42:10.140 Yeah.

00:42:10.460 Some of the best drummers in the world, you've never heard of them, but they play on every

00:42:13.920 record that you've ever listened to.

00:42:15.500 I know.

00:42:15.720 It's kind of wild, huh?

00:42:16.520 Yeah.

00:42:16.880 It's really kind of wild the limitedness that we usually know about like the people on stage

00:42:21.560 a lot of times.

00:42:22.300 Yeah.

00:42:22.600 Like the behind the scenes guys, dude.

00:42:24.240 And even like my guys in my band, like they're not even the guys playing on the records, dude.

00:42:29.200 What?

00:42:30.360 Oh, because you use a different group to-

00:42:32.180 The session players are a whole different thing than the studio guys.

00:42:35.760 No way.

00:42:36.080 Not that those guys couldn't be both if they chose to.

00:42:38.720 But most of the best session players are just session players.

00:42:41.980 Ah.

00:42:42.340 I mean, they go, and dude, they're, I'm talking, you would just blow your mind.

00:42:46.700 Like your favorite drummer's favorite drummer is a session player.

00:42:51.100 Your favorite bass player's favorite bass player is a session player.

00:42:54.240 Like, and those guys are just under thought of.

00:42:56.580 Like if you go looked at the credits of any country album for the last 10 years, like

00:43:01.880 who's playing fiddle or who's playing dobro, it's the same three, four cats.

00:43:07.900 Any instrument, I mean, there's three, four guys of any instrument that's like, that's

00:43:11.020 the guy you call or that's the girl you call.

00:43:12.900 There was probably year round doing it, huh?

00:43:14.620 Every day.

00:43:15.460 They're doing it every day.

00:43:16.540 God.

00:43:17.160 I mean-

00:43:17.680 God, we should have gotten into a different trade.

00:43:20.880 Those guys are, they're wild, man.

00:43:23.200 That's what I'm thinking about.

00:43:24.380 They're so good, dude.

00:43:25.260 Yeah, so, yeah, I guess being like a parent, it's like, you get to see like where all your

00:43:30.280 parents, like just things that they didn't do or that they couldn't do, it makes a lot

00:43:33.380 more sense.

00:43:34.180 Parenting.

00:43:34.220 Yeah, I mean, there's so many things where you go, you know, you think when you're a

00:43:38.320 kid, right, or my mom or my dad did this thing and I would never do that.

00:43:42.420 Right.

00:43:42.580 You know, I wouldn't ever do that to my kids or whatever.

00:43:45.040 And, you know, sometimes those things end up being like, yeah, man, I still would never

00:43:49.720 do that.

00:43:50.080 And sometimes you go, oh, now I get-

00:43:52.260 Why we had to do that.

00:43:52.960 Why they did that thing.

00:43:53.880 It makes a lot of sense now.

00:43:55.080 Like it, to me, it unlocks this, some, at least for me, it did, you know, it unlocks

00:44:02.240 some part of your brain that's inaccessible in some ways.

00:44:05.920 Like once the kid that's happened, dude, it's this whole new level of like caring about

00:44:11.900 something or loving something that's like, you know, it's not the same way you love your

00:44:16.200 wife or your husband or whoever you love.

00:44:18.040 It's a different kind of thing.

00:44:20.060 And you were shocked it was that new, huh?

00:44:22.420 Yes, dude.

00:44:23.060 It was just like, you know, cause you hear-

00:44:25.220 It was like a whole new chord or something.

00:44:26.200 Yeah.

00:44:26.540 Like all those cliches, dude.

00:44:28.580 Yeah.

00:44:28.760 You hear about, well, you wait to how fast it goes and, you know, you just, you're going

00:44:33.500 to find out. 0.99

00:44:34.200 Like all that cheesy shit is so true. 1.00

00:44:36.520 Yeah, when it rains, it pours. 1.00

00:44:37.560 Right.

00:44:37.920 It's all true, dude.

00:44:39.060 Like all that stuff makes so much sense.

00:44:41.040 It's like when, and all their cliches cause they, people say them all the time cause

00:44:45.560 they're true.

00:44:46.240 Yeah.

00:44:46.660 And it really is.

00:44:47.660 It's really been a wild experience.

00:44:49.580 The juxtaposition too is weird.

00:44:51.220 Like, cause I'm on this tour right now and you know, people are like, and I, it's no fault

00:44:57.560 to anybody, but they, a lot of people don't really know what touring is like.

00:45:01.460 So they kind of assume like, what is, why do you ever see your kids?

00:45:07.020 You must be gone all the time.

00:45:08.520 And I'm like, dude, I'm home more days a week than I'm gone or the same amount.

00:45:13.100 Right.

00:45:13.740 Like I'm home like three and a half days a week.

00:45:15.420 I'm gone like three and a half days a week.

00:45:17.240 So that's more than most people that work 40 hours a day get to spend.

00:45:21.840 That's a good point.

00:45:22.540 At home with their kids, you know?

00:45:23.820 So like I get to, but it's such a weird juxtaposition to go from, you go out, let's

00:45:30.020 fly to, you know, Phoenix or wherever.

00:45:32.920 And you play a two nights in the same stadium, dude.

00:45:36.200 And the next day you're home, dude.

00:45:37.880 And you're just dad and there's nobody there.

00:45:40.720 I mean, we live in a two bedroom, two bathroom house.

00:45:43.200 That's 2,100 square foot.

00:45:44.460 Yeah.

00:45:44.700 And the kids are what general admission?

00:45:46.620 Yeah.

00:45:46.920 They're GA.

00:45:47.620 They don't even pay.

00:45:48.380 Well, there's no, they just get in free.

00:45:49.660 Kids eat free, dude.

00:45:50.720 So they just come in and just take the place over.

00:45:54.020 Dude, that would be the best tour you could have if you had a kids eat free tour.

00:45:57.300 But dude, sponsored by Ryan's Buffet or Golden Crow, either one.

00:46:03.160 Oh yeah.

00:46:03.860 That would be the best.

00:46:04.760 And they should have a contest too.

00:46:06.040 What's the farthest somebody can hum a McNugget and another kid catch?

00:46:13.260 Like a beer Olympics, but it's Buffet Olympics.

00:46:16.340 Just a McNugget.

00:46:17.780 There's something so American about seeing a McNugget go through the air.

00:46:21.400 A McNugget cannon.

00:46:22.340 Oh yeah.

00:46:23.160 Maybe you could jam like a hundred in a t-shirt cannon and just blast McNuggets out into the

00:46:28.280 crowd, dude.

00:46:30.120 Oh Lord.

00:46:30.740 Everybody's just catching them on their...

00:46:32.340 There'd be some good slow-mo shots, dude.

00:46:34.900 It's like that Kiss cam with the McNugget cam.

00:46:37.700 McNugget cam, dude.

00:46:39.020 But dude, that's how it's going to get.

00:46:40.480 I think if people, if it gets so bad where people can't afford to eat or whatever, then

00:46:44.800 they're going to be like...

00:46:45.800 The concerts will be events.

00:46:47.680 Yes.

00:46:48.100 Food will be how to get people to events.

00:46:50.320 Got it.

00:46:50.840 A hundred percent, man.

00:46:52.460 That's the thing you're going to need.

00:46:54.120 Yep.

00:46:54.660 Pay for the show, stay for the food.

00:46:56.480 Yeah.

00:46:56.960 You know what I mean?

00:47:00.420 Could you even imagine what a huge buffet would be like at a fricking...

00:47:04.340 In a stadium?

00:47:05.760 Like if it was every...

00:47:07.180 Like the world's longest buffet, you know, is it like...

00:47:09.720 It just snakes through the whole floor.

00:47:11.920 Yeah.

00:47:12.380 Let's bring that up.

00:47:13.080 Where is the world's longest buffet?

00:47:14.740 Okay.

00:47:15.060 Let's take bets.

00:47:16.020 All right.

00:47:16.300 I'm going to guess probably in like a Midwest, somewhere in the Midwest.

00:47:22.320 Okay.

00:47:23.120 I'm going to guess.

00:47:24.040 I don't know, by the way.

00:47:25.720 I really don't know.

00:47:26.740 I'm going to go with a little bit more of the orange Midwest.

00:47:30.060 I'm going to say China, I think.

00:47:31.860 World's longest.

00:47:32.560 So world's longest.

00:47:33.680 World's longest because they are buffet...

00:47:36.440 Is longest or largest is that different?

00:47:38.640 Oh, that's a good question.

00:47:39.460 World's longest.

00:47:41.020 Biggest.

00:47:42.880 Pennsylvania, dude.

00:47:44.400 Wow.

00:47:45.060 Not...

00:47:45.840 Midwest.

00:47:46.600 Is it Midwest?

00:47:47.900 I think it's upper Midwest.

00:47:49.280 It feels very Eastern Midwest.

00:47:52.040 Really?

00:47:52.420 It's lower Dutch. 1.00

00:47:53.380 I know.

00:47:53.980 It's in 1962, under Maple Tree, Mr. and Miss Henry Martin sold produce along the road.

00:48:00.360 That was the beginning of the Shady Maple Farm Market, according to Shady Maple.

00:48:05.160 The largest buffet in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

00:48:09.460 Shady Maple Smorgasbord.

00:48:12.340 Smorgasbord.

00:48:13.180 There used to be a smorgasbord in Hermitage when I lived out there.

00:48:16.420 Do you remember that place?

00:48:17.660 It was called...

00:48:18.560 And what is it?

00:48:19.680 Is it a place to eat as much as you can?

00:48:21.740 It's...

00:48:22.180 Yes.

00:48:23.120 Well, I think...

00:48:24.140 I believe...

00:48:24.940 Now, this is big, big English language guy.

00:48:27.920 Big vocab guy here.

00:48:29.580 But I believe a smorgasbord means there's a lot of different kinds of food in one place.

00:48:35.720 Whoa, guy.

00:48:36.500 That sounds insane.

00:48:37.800 You know what I mean?

00:48:38.700 It sounds like you're making stuff up.

00:48:43.120 Elite, literary knowledge.

00:48:45.340 Let's see.

00:48:45.820 What is smorgasbord?

00:48:46.880 Self-service luncheon or supper offering a large variety of foods and dishes.

00:48:50.700 Oh, wow.

00:48:52.440 From Swedish smorgasbord, a buffet meal.

00:48:56.460 Oh, it sounds great.

00:48:58.380 Yeah, that smorgasbord.

00:49:00.340 So it's just Swedish for buffet.

00:49:02.100 Yeah.

00:49:02.280 It's just, yeah.

00:49:02.720 It's the Swedish version of buffet, dude.

00:49:05.280 Yeah.

00:49:05.720 Why do they make it sound so crazy?

00:49:08.480 Yeah.

00:49:08.660 Yeah.

00:49:10.800 I feel like everything you want to eat is just...

00:49:13.120 Even that word has all...

00:49:14.380 It seems like it has a lot of calories in it.

00:49:15.860 Just smorgasbord.

00:49:16.620 What was your first car, Luke?

00:49:21.580 Speaking of your car song doing so great.

00:49:23.860 My first car I got was a purple Subaru Outback.

00:49:30.840 Used.

00:49:31.860 A lady my mom worked at got a new car, and she gave my mom a deal on it. 1.00

00:49:37.100 And it...

00:49:37.520 Dude, it was actually...

00:49:38.740 Purple they had.

00:49:39.680 Purple.

00:49:40.020 It was like a...

00:49:40.760 It was a deep indigo.

00:49:42.940 Ooh.

00:49:43.400 It was a deep indigo.

00:49:44.620 It was much older than these versions you're looking at.

00:49:46.900 These are way newer.

00:49:47.920 This is probably a 2000 and maybe a 99, 2001, 2000 type model.

00:49:56.800 There we go.

00:49:58.000 That's the one, dude.

00:49:58.980 There she is.

00:49:59.740 Ooh.

00:50:00.440 That...

00:50:00.780 I mean, that's about the exact car.

00:50:02.320 That's beautiful.

00:50:03.320 Now, about three months after I got it, totaled it.

00:50:07.400 Oh, come on, man.

00:50:09.180 Dude, and it had...

00:50:10.240 I'm talking about...

00:50:11.080 I didn't realize how nice it was.

00:50:12.820 Yeah.

00:50:13.140 Because it had leather seats, heated seats.

00:50:15.520 And I was like...

00:50:16.520 But I was like, dude, I'm driving around.

00:50:17.920 I'm in this, like, mom wagon, dude.

00:50:20.320 Wrecked it.

00:50:20.920 And then my parents got me a $500 Dodge Neon that had been previously totaled.

00:50:27.960 Dude, look up a 2000 Dodge Neon.

00:50:31.400 Base level.

00:50:32.080 No automatic windows.

00:50:33.520 No automatic doors.

00:50:34.920 Carpet seats.

00:50:35.560 Oh, my God.

00:50:36.240 It's beautiful.

00:50:38.000 Well...

00:50:38.200 Oh, there she is, dude. 1.00

00:50:39.140 Probably that fourth picture on the top.

00:50:40.860 It was probably...

00:50:41.800 My mother...

00:50:42.200 That's about exactly what I was cruising.

00:50:44.180 My mother got a Dodge Neon.

00:50:45.440 And we used to...

00:50:45.880 Me and my brother used to go sleep in it at night.

00:50:47.560 We'd go sit out there and sleep in it.

00:50:49.440 And it was beautiful.

00:50:51.780 I would like to say that.

00:50:53.020 But also, yeah, it is crazy how they will sell you...

00:50:56.680 In this country, they will sell you a previously totaled...

00:51:00.380 Yeah.

00:51:01.020 This car has been destroyed.

00:51:03.620 Somebody out there has my totaled Purple Outback right now.

00:51:07.160 That's like selling somebody a dead friend or whatever.

00:51:09.600 And they're like, yeah, but he's like...

00:51:13.360 He's all good now.

00:51:14.980 You know what I mean?

00:51:15.820 Like, now it's cool.

00:51:17.380 But dude, that's in the past, bro.

00:51:19.400 Yeah.

00:51:19.860 His death was in the past.

00:51:21.180 You have to give him a second chance.

00:52:04.340 Most of the time, you're probably fine.

00:52:06.000 But what if you come back to see someone just cruising off in your whip?

00:52:12.020 That's what it's like without ExpressVPN.

00:52:15.160 Why do you need ExpressVPN?

00:52:16.940 Well, every time you connect to an unencrypted network, which is in a hotel, an airport, a cafe, your online data is not secure.

00:52:28.520 Any hacker on the same network can gain access and steal your personal data.

00:52:33.460 Super secure.

00:52:35.200 That's what you need to be, and that's what ExpressVPN is offering.

00:52:38.720 It would take a hacker with a supercomputer and over a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption.

00:52:46.620 It's easy to use.

00:52:48.240 Fire up the app and click one button to get protected.

00:57:48.340 Dude, another RU Garza is using the. . .

00:57:51.260 Like using the like. . .

00:57:52.300 The bathtub or a sink at a hotel like as a cooler.

00:57:56.420 So like putting ice in it.

00:57:58.300 And then like filling. . .

00:57:59.740 Like putting your drinks in the. . .

00:58:02.260 That receptacle.

00:58:03.620 Because if you don't use a shower at all. . .

00:58:05.680 That's the thing. . .

00:58:06.340 That's even worse.

00:58:07.400 Yeah, that's. . .

00:58:07.600 So then what are you. . .

00:58:08.340 You're not showering in lieu of having. . .

00:58:10.340 Yeah, just some cozy cold drinks.

00:58:13.080 Cold pops.

00:58:13.660 It's a very spring break feel.

00:58:15.200 Yeah.

00:58:15.420 I feel like to that.

00:58:16.380 What did we do, dude?

00:58:17.340 We got. . .

00:58:18.600 Oh, well, my first car was 84 Ford Escort.

00:58:22.020 And somebody had. . .

00:58:24.180 Oh, it was beautiful.

00:58:25.040 Well, it was pretty much semi-beautiful probably.

00:58:27.320 Yeah.

00:58:28.000 And somebody had stole the passenger seat out of it, right?

00:58:31.380 Like this happened while you owned it.

00:58:33.180 Or when you got it, it had already been thieved.

00:58:36.420 When I got the vehicle, I had it for like three days and somebody stole it.

00:58:39.860 I think it was the guy.

00:58:41.100 I think he didn't want to sell the whole car.

00:58:42.580 So he fenced it.

00:58:44.180 He fenced the seat.

00:58:45.200 Yeah.

00:58:45.640 He came in and was like, you know what?

00:58:47.720 I'm taking this back.

00:58:49.120 I didn't mean to sell you the whole car.

00:58:51.180 I wanted that seat out of there, dude.

00:58:53.480 I forgot, dude.

00:58:54.380 Hey, I forgot my wife told me not to sell me the seat.

00:58:56.720 Hey, we had our first kid on that seat, and she told me not to hunt.

00:59:01.280 That's a memento.

00:59:02.700 It was an 84 Ford Escort, baby.

00:59:06.940 And I got. . .

00:59:07.820 God, I paid $600 large for that thing.

00:59:09.920 What color was it?

00:59:11.720 Which one?

00:59:12.300 Like what's the most accurate representation on it?

00:59:14.420 Gray.

00:59:14.840 They only had. . .

00:59:15.800 I think of the 84 hard top.

00:59:18.620 I don't know.

00:59:20.100 Hard top, dude.

00:59:21.200 Dude, I love how this too clean 1984 Ford Escort, dude. 0.99

00:59:27.600 I'm saying a hard top like there was any other top on that bitch, dude. 1.00

00:59:32.320 Like a drop top. 0.99

00:59:34.360 Dude, you got some coin now.

00:59:35.720 Go buy an 84 Escort and chop the top off of it, dude.

00:59:38.280 Get a convertible top one, dude.

00:59:40.220 No, I think it's supposed to have the top on it so you can get safely to school.

00:59:45.160 That's what I did in it, but somebody stole my passenger seat I had for three days.

00:59:49.680 So then the crazy part was you go pick a girl up and they get in the car. 0.61

00:59:52.760 In the back.

00:59:53.440 But they had to get in the back through the front like it only had. . .

00:59:56.740 The front door.

00:59:57.520 Yeah, yeah.

00:59:57.960 So then again, just. . .

00:59:59.400 Well, at least you didn't have to flip the seat up.

01:00:01.380 Yeah, so that part was actually nice.

01:00:03.100 But then if somebody wanted to be right by you, they'd have to get right on their knees.

01:00:06.780 Yeah.

01:00:07.140 So they could. . .

01:00:07.740 But it's like built-in like lounger, though, kind of.

01:00:10.320 That's true.

01:00:10.700 They just want to sit in the back and chill.

01:00:12.360 Like a king vibe.

01:00:14.200 For girls. . . 0.84

01:00:14.880 Girls didn't like it. 1.00

01:00:16.260 Yeah, probably.

01:00:16.800 I could see that.

01:00:17.360 Yeah, girls are like, 1.00

01:00:18.220 I don't know what's happening.

01:00:18.880 They were like,

01:00:19.300 man, this car is like really trashy.

01:00:21.160 And you were like,

01:00:21.620 no, it's cool, dude.

01:00:23.380 I love it.

01:00:24.280 I love this car.

01:00:25.560 God, dude.

01:00:25.960 And then one time it got T-boned outside of this, I think, place called Isidore's or something.

01:00:35.960 Some little sandwich shop.

01:00:38.080 Iggy's or something.

01:00:39.120 Smorgasbord.

01:00:39.780 Yeah, smorgasbord.

01:00:41.140 Yeah, smorgasbord.

01:00:42.960 Yeah, smorgasbord. 1.00

01:00:44.140 Fucking bird snacks, baby. 1.00

01:00:46.400 But yeah, so, and I got T-boned. 1.00

01:00:48.700 And then after that, I was dating this cute girl.

01:00:51.040 But every time I'd go to her house, I would try to hide the car at an angle.

01:00:54.240 It was so banged up now.

01:00:56.380 Where like almost the angle she'd walked and get in, she wouldn't really be able to see all the damage.

01:01:01.360 She wouldn't see the damage.

01:01:01.600 My neon used to, when I would stop, the radiator would leak a little bit.

01:01:07.380 So like if I wasn't driving, like the radiator, like there was a lit, it was like that, like kind of that rubberized like top on the radiator tube there.

01:01:15.580 And it had just the littlest crack in there.

01:01:18.180 And me and my dad, we tried to fix it a million times, but it would get so hot that like no matter what you put over it wouldn't stick.

01:01:25.280 Like all the best, like loctite, bond, and all that stuff, like the heat would get it.

01:01:30.220 So it would like spit stuff out of it. 1.00

01:01:33.760 And then that would get on like the engine block.

01:01:36.300 And so anytime I would stop, it would just smoke just a little bit, dude.

01:01:41.300 So I'm already like spending my last $2.

01:01:43.200 So native, really?

01:01:43.820 I was spending my last $2 buying fish tacos at, you know, Long John Silver's.

01:01:49.660 Anyways, I'm already embarrassed with myself.

01:01:52.840 And then like, they're like, if there was anybody that you would see and you're in the drive-thru waiting to get your $2 tacos and your car's like smoking and they're like, dude, maybe.

01:02:04.360 And they look at you and you're 300 pounds, dude.

01:02:06.820 And they're like, probably shouldn't be getting these tacos, you know?

01:02:10.820 Yeah, I guess.

01:02:11.260 Like they're like, just fix the car, man, like dismiss a couple tacos, like you're going to be fine.

01:02:15.960 Yeah, yeah.

01:02:16.360 At a certain point, dude, you got to look at the scale of justice.

01:02:21.420 Just do you need Baja fish tacos?

01:02:24.420 You don't, dude.

01:02:26.440 It's like the McFish. 0.94

01:02:27.560 You don't need it.

01:02:28.820 You know what I mean?

01:02:29.200 My God, when she ordered it, though. 1.00

01:02:30.760 And you would see other people in the distance look over at us when she ordered it and shit. 1.00

01:02:34.780 And I'd be so ashamed. 0.99

01:02:36.040 I'd be like.

01:02:36.580 But it was wild caught, though.

01:02:38.040 So it's fine.

01:02:39.100 Yeah, I don't know where.

01:02:40.060 It seemed like they, I would say, yeah, it seemed like outdoor caught.

01:02:43.220 Some of it, it was kind of darker.

01:02:44.500 Some of the fish, but.

01:02:46.060 Out in, caught in nature would be like a better.

01:02:49.500 Caught in the wild.

01:02:50.760 Caught out in the open.

01:02:52.000 I think it said coerced, it said on the side.

01:02:53.700 Coerced.

01:02:54.900 Wildly coerced.

01:02:56.780 I'm like, I don't know if this is good fish or not.

01:02:58.960 And did you take any good trips recently, man?

01:03:02.640 Have you been anywhere fun?

01:03:04.140 For vacation?

01:03:05.580 For vacation?

01:03:06.940 Gosh, dude.

01:03:07.500 I hadn't been, we hadn't been on like a real vacation.

01:03:09.820 And like me and the wife, I mean, we haven't gone on vacation.

01:03:14.060 I mean, we got two.

01:03:14.940 We have had two kids back to back, dude.

01:03:16.440 So we're like.

01:03:17.540 Do they sleep in y'all's room, y'all's children? 0.63

01:03:19.200 No, we have, we just, the youngest one, he just left our room a month or two ago.

01:03:24.920 So our boys share a room right now.

01:03:27.400 Oh, that's fun, huh?

01:03:28.300 So it's, I mean, you know, if they were older, I think it'd be fun.

01:03:31.860 But I think now they're just kind of like, how can I keep the other one awake?

01:03:36.180 Like, even though they don't really know what they're doing or why they're doing it.

01:03:40.460 They just like, one of them's always making noise and the other one's like looking.

01:03:44.840 And like, our one's like, he can't even, like, he's just now able to kind of like

01:03:48.520 pull himself up.

01:03:49.320 So he's like a fall risk just all the time.

01:03:52.220 He's like in the crib and he's like trying to look at the other one because he's

01:03:55.400 rattling the blinds.

01:03:56.940 Right.

01:03:57.320 It's like, they're always doing something.

01:03:59.600 It seems like a band that's on drugs or something.

01:04:01.680 Yeah, it's kind of, it kind of is like that.

01:04:03.340 Some of the stories.

01:04:04.720 To think back on it, you know, some of our guys have probably done some similar things

01:04:08.500 on the road at times, dude.

01:04:11.160 You know?

01:04:12.040 Oh, my God.

01:04:13.020 But it's, we haven't gone, I mean, we, gosh, man.

01:04:17.120 I mean, I've been, it feels like I've been all over the world in the last couple of

01:04:20.180 years, but like, that's just going on a vacation.

01:04:22.780 I know it's hard to find a spot and really get in and be like, all right, let's go do

01:04:25.800 it.

01:04:26.060 Yeah.

01:04:26.180 And it's like, it's weird too.

01:04:27.120 Cause like, you know, vacation for me is like getting to just be home.

01:04:30.780 Like that feels like vacation to me.

01:04:32.620 Yeah.

01:04:32.900 But then like my wife is home a lot with the kids and stuff.

01:04:36.660 So she does want to like, make, like get away and go somewhere and do something.

01:04:41.440 And it's like, you know, finding that time where, you know, I don't feel like I'm traveling

01:04:45.420 somewhere every week and going back and forth.

01:04:47.160 Yeah.

01:04:47.380 Stuff can burn you up, man.

01:04:48.620 You know, it's just, it's a wild, it's a wild thing, man.

01:04:51.760 Right now we're just in this weird balance because of the kids right now.

01:04:54.640 Cause they're so small.

01:04:55.640 And there's nothing you can do.

01:04:56.700 You have to take care of them every day.

01:04:58.160 A hundred percent.

01:04:58.600 Like, I mean, that's, that's the number one thing, dude.

01:05:01.960 I mean, there is no, you know, the kids don't care about the state.

01:05:05.820 They don't know anything.

01:05:07.000 And do they rate you guys or anything?

01:05:08.520 Like, how do you know there's, there is a complaint box or is, yeah.

01:05:12.620 Do you guys like get an email every week from there?

01:05:14.120 Like, how do you know how you're doing?

01:05:17.040 You don't, they're alive.

01:05:19.620 If they're still, if they're still alive and kicking dude, at this point, you're doing

01:05:24.120 pretty good job.

01:05:24.920 But there's not, there's not, there's not somebody that comes when they're like,

01:05:28.600 three years old and gives you like a performance review.

01:05:32.420 Yeah.

01:05:32.460 Just like somebody should.

01:05:34.380 Well, you know what I, we were saying this when we had our first kid, we walked out of

01:05:37.020 the hospital and I'm like, dude, we had this kid two days ago and bro, I got to take a

01:05:44.540 test to drive a car, dude.

01:05:46.560 And they're, they'll just give you a human life.

01:05:48.780 Like, all right, no, here you go.

01:05:51.460 Don't matter who you are, what your background is.

01:05:55.400 There's no questions asked really, dude.

01:05:57.980 Yeah.

01:05:58.340 They're just like, Hey man, like, you'll be good, man.

01:06:01.160 Like you'll people, your parents figured it out.

01:06:03.380 Oh yeah.

01:06:03.880 Especially if you want to mix kid, they'll just hand you one down there. 0.57

01:06:06.920 A lot of these places.

01:06:08.380 I'm like, all right.

01:06:09.660 This is great.

01:06:10.660 I'm like, it's just, it's a wild West, dude.

01:06:13.240 The kids thing is like, it's a wild West, man.

01:06:16.140 It's like, there is no, I, you know, I read all the like, well, how to be a good dad.

01:06:21.580 How to be a rodeo daddy or whatever.

01:06:23.540 How to be a, you know.

01:06:24.460 Eight seconds with my son.

01:06:25.720 Right.

01:06:26.100 Yeah.

01:06:26.840 The wildest 18 years of your eight second life.

01:06:30.200 You know, it's like, but yeah.

01:06:33.760 Parenting and fishing.

01:06:34.980 You're like, is that a magazine?

01:06:36.860 Like that seems.

01:06:37.720 How, how parenting is like noodling, you know, it's like, yeah.

01:06:42.660 It's just stick and pray, baby.

01:06:46.340 You know what I mean?

01:06:48.120 It's a wild ride, man.

01:06:49.420 But the, the dad thing was, was really fun to do.

01:06:52.080 And that's just where my head's been recently.

01:06:54.840 And, and do you start to think like, Hey, we got to get this third or fourth or fifth child

01:06:58.720 out of the way now, or do you start to strategize it?

01:07:02.120 Like, I mean, the deadlines for do feel looming, right?

01:07:05.040 Like if you want to have, you know, I mean, because every time you have a kid, it's like

01:07:09.600 it starts over like the whole, like, okay, well now.

01:07:12.660 It's like when we don't have kids is 18 years from now, now again.

01:07:18.500 Right.

01:07:18.660 Again, we just restarted the clock.

01:07:20.260 Restart.

01:07:20.700 It's like going back to jail.

01:07:21.980 You know, you have kids.

01:07:22.840 Like a loving jail with other people you care about.

01:07:25.360 Like the best jail ever.

01:07:26.780 Yeah.

01:07:27.100 Kind of thing.

01:07:27.480 It's like, yeah.

01:07:28.840 It's like, but it does.

01:07:30.620 It's such a.

01:07:31.340 The best jail ever.

01:07:31.800 That's one of the songs on the new album.

01:07:33.700 On Chainmail Children, dude.

01:07:35.200 Yeah.

01:07:35.500 The best jail ever.

01:07:36.900 Yeah.

01:07:37.780 Work pin, dude.

01:07:39.020 Yeah.

01:07:39.960 They should have the best jail ever, huh?

01:07:41.720 But I don't.

01:07:42.100 And we think about, it's like, well, how, you know, then you think about, well, how close

01:07:45.280 do I want the kids to be to each other?

01:07:48.120 Right.

01:07:48.380 Like how, you know, how does it, where it's, what's tour look like next year?

01:07:53.220 Is it going to be extra busy or we have a light year?

01:07:56.040 Like, it's weird to think about that stuff.

01:07:58.060 Because at the end of the day, you're talking about, like, potentially, like, a person.

01:08:01.940 Right.

01:08:02.760 That will be, like, a.

01:08:03.920 Alive.

01:08:04.680 Doing, like, though I have an entire life, you know?

01:08:07.340 And so, like, I don't know.

01:08:09.200 I often wonder, you know, I often, I often, not fantasize is the wrong word, but, like,

01:08:15.400 think about, you know, it just being, like, being, like, my kids' parents is, like,

01:08:21.900 I almost worry about them, like, finding out what I do in some ways.

01:08:26.040 You mean dance at night?

01:08:27.640 Yeah.

01:08:28.160 Like, we have, like, put on a nice vinyl, you know, dancing a living room.

01:08:32.120 Wouldn't that be great if that's what you meant?

01:08:33.920 Yeah.

01:08:34.160 Like, look, I just don't want them to know.

01:08:35.580 That I dance.

01:08:36.960 That's when I was all occasionally dancing.

01:08:38.680 Classically trained.

01:08:39.560 Yeah, I'll dance for their mother in the evening sometimes.

01:08:41.100 Big boy ballerina in the evening.

01:08:43.020 You know what I mean?

01:08:45.920 Yeah, I guess.

01:08:46.880 I wonder how kids, you know, because it is so tough.

01:08:49.140 I don't know if you see so many kids that are somehow traumatized or face some sort

01:08:53.320 of, like, just the byproduct of their parents being in the limelight, especially maybe in,

01:09:00.100 I don't know if especially in music, maybe not especially, but just in the limelight.

01:09:03.320 Yeah, I think about it a lot, you know, because I go, you know, I don't, like, and it's going

01:09:10.080 to sound weird.

01:09:10.660 It's like you almost wish they could just not know in some ways.

01:09:14.240 And not because I don't want them to know.

01:09:16.520 That's not what I'm getting at.

01:09:17.560 It's like, I almost just want them to be, like, naive to the whole thing for as long

01:09:22.740 as is humanly possible.

01:09:24.240 Yeah.

01:09:24.560 Like, I want them to, the only thing they're worried about is, like, riding bikes and playing

01:09:28.780 trucks and, you know, riding around on the Polaris with mom and dad.

01:09:32.800 Yeah.

01:09:33.400 I don't, but there gets to a point, like, you know, as soon as, like, school is looming,

01:09:37.460 like, you know, I've got some other artist buddies that have kids and they're like, well,

01:09:41.180 you got to tell them or somebody else is going to tell them.

01:09:43.500 Like, it's almost like telling your kids there's no Santa.

01:09:46.680 Or something.

01:09:48.120 Like, it's.

01:09:48.380 But it's, like, the opposite of that.

01:09:49.320 It's, like, the opposite of that.

01:09:50.840 Like, telling your kids there is a Luke Combs.

01:09:52.600 Right.

01:09:52.980 Yeah.

01:09:53.240 And it's like, I don't want them to, like, ever, I don't want my kids to ever think of

01:09:57.840 me that way.

01:09:58.740 Like, sure, I want them to be really proud.

01:10:00.420 Like, dad was good.

01:10:01.140 Some of his early stuff I liked better.

01:10:02.680 Right.

01:10:02.780 But I still love him. 0.99

01:10:03.580 The last couple of albums were just garbage, dude. 0.89

01:10:05.700 Yeah. 0.97

01:10:05.980 Once he had us, they just, you know, they just really stunk.

01:10:09.220 He put on the dad record.

01:10:09.360 Dude, imagine if that happened to a kid where their dads, their sales weren't as good after

01:10:13.620 they had children.

01:10:15.920 And they were like, we have the, me and my buddies have the golf theory, dude.

01:10:21.940 Once you start playing golf, it gets bad?

01:10:23.540 No.

01:10:24.520 Well, for sure.

01:10:25.800 I think for me, at least.

01:10:26.900 But it's once, like, the great golfers, once they have kids, it gets harder to maintain,

01:10:34.320 like, because the amount of, like, practice and stuff that they have to do.

01:10:38.200 I mean, I don't, I know next to nothing about being a professional golfer, by the way.

01:10:41.920 This is just a guy who watches golf and, like, wishes that he could do golf.

01:10:46.520 Yeah.

01:10:46.920 I always pretend, like, something came up and my friend's asking to go play golf or something.

01:10:52.440 You're like, sorry, man, I gotta.

01:10:54.520 I gotta go do something.

01:10:55.540 I gotta go vote.

01:10:56.400 I'll even say that.

01:10:57.480 Yeah.

01:10:57.780 And they're like, what?

01:10:59.540 And you're like.

01:11:00.120 You're like, yeah.

01:11:01.040 Yeah, they're voting for the comp troller.

01:11:03.080 Yeah.

01:11:03.320 City comp troller.

01:11:04.600 Want to just practice them for the big, big game in November.

01:11:07.860 Big thing.

01:11:08.240 You know, like, I was having a practice Super Bowl party tonight, so I actually can't.

01:11:12.920 I wanted to make sure the Super Bowl party would be good, but it's not.

01:11:17.180 You know, I have a run through.

01:11:18.340 Did you, did you have, have you played the Super Bowl yet?

01:11:22.120 Mm-mm.

01:11:22.880 No.

01:11:23.620 There hasn't been a country artist in the Super Bowl.

01:11:25.320 And a long time.

01:11:28.280 Who was the last one?

01:11:29.520 It was a, it was a big medley of people.

01:11:32.520 I believe it's Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Shania, Tanya Tucker.

01:11:38.320 Wow.

01:11:38.720 It was like a bunch of country artists that did like a big medley thing, I believe.

01:11:43.480 Now, there's been a bunch of artists that have done the anthem.

01:11:46.420 Right.

01:11:46.920 But as for the halftime show, there hasn't been one since, you'd have to look it up, the mid-90s.

01:11:53.720 Reba, oh, Reba McIntyre's coming up.

01:11:55.840 The anthem, though.

01:11:56.940 Oh, the anthem.

01:11:57.340 The anthem, you mean like the actual halftime show.

01:11:59.540 Yeah.

01:12:00.020 It's been, it only happened one time.

01:12:02.880 Only one time ever?

01:12:04.260 Yep.

01:12:05.960 Wow.

01:12:07.840 That seems unreal, huh?

01:12:09.380 So it's Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani, and Sting.

01:12:13.660 Okay, so Shania was different than the, the other medley thing.

01:12:18.400 Right.

01:12:19.100 So they had Shania.

01:12:20.560 Twice.

01:12:21.120 Yeah.

01:12:21.520 So twice ever.

01:12:22.480 I would imagine that at some point, Taylor Swift has to do it at some point.

01:12:26.980 Oh, it's a good point.

01:12:28.000 But I don't know if that would still be, I don't know if that would start as a considered

01:12:32.260 a country artist now doing that.

01:12:33.940 It's kind of universal.

01:12:34.620 But like to think like a guy like Garth's never done it.

01:12:37.760 I know.

01:12:38.200 A guy like George Strait's never done it.

01:12:40.600 You know, like so many of these guys.

01:12:42.300 Oh, yeah.

01:12:42.800 I've watched Garth sing it.

01:12:43.880 You would think, you know.

01:12:44.840 Have you gotten to spend much time at Garth ever?

01:12:46.840 I have.

01:12:47.840 Not a ton of time.

01:12:50.180 But we've, we've spoken many times.

01:12:52.580 Like I took my band out to see his, his show out in Vegas.

01:12:58.020 I was out there.

01:12:59.340 I was playing like a private event and it didn't start till like 1130 or something like super

01:13:03.680 late night.

01:13:04.320 It was like a birthday party thing.

01:13:06.900 And so, you know, we got to Vegas like in the morning.

01:13:10.160 So I'm like, what the hell do we do all day?

01:13:12.940 So I start looking stuff up and I'm like, oh my gosh, Garth's playing and tonight is

01:13:16.480 doing his show.

01:13:17.400 Gotta see it.

01:13:17.920 So I'm like, and the band, like I told the band, I was like, I hit my manager up.

01:13:22.180 I was like, hit up Garth's folks and see if we can maybe get some tickets.

01:13:25.760 And, you know, so man, yeah, he came in, dude.

01:13:29.540 We got over there and dude, he came in and said, hey, to the band.

01:13:32.720 And like the band had no idea we were going to meet him at all.

01:13:35.920 Cause like some dude, my band guys are like, and it's a couple of them's from Oklahoma and

01:13:39.460 stuff.

01:13:39.920 And so like, love him.

01:13:40.900 They probably love him, dude.

01:13:42.380 Drawings of him at home.

01:13:43.100 And so a hundred percent they do.

01:13:45.360 And, uh, but he came in and taught everybody and got us great seats.

01:13:48.920 They let us come in like, cause you know, those shows, they're like no phones or whatever.

01:13:52.640 I think like a lot of the Vegas stuff, you can't have your phone or something.

01:13:55.720 Um, so yeah, cause they don't want to, yeah.

01:13:57.620 I think they don't want anybody having their phone to like see, so they can't like record

01:14:01.560 stuff.

01:14:02.400 People sell it like streams, Vietnam, all kinds of stuff.

01:14:07.240 Yep.

01:14:07.860 So they let us come in like right when the lights went down, they brought us in.

01:14:11.540 Cause like, I was like, Hey man, I want to come, but there's no, like at those theaters,

01:14:15.540 there's not really like suites or like backstage.

01:14:18.660 Right.

01:14:18.860 You don't want to take away from that.

01:14:19.940 His attention.

01:14:20.460 Yeah.

01:14:20.660 I'm like, Hey man, I just want to like come in, like just sit this thing and like, not,

01:14:25.200 you know, I don't, it's weird.

01:14:26.680 Like I tell people, I'm like, man, I don't really like being the center of attention as

01:14:29.940 weird as that is considering what I do.

01:14:32.280 Yeah.

01:14:32.660 It makes me like really uncomfortable.

01:14:34.100 Like when people make like a big deal about me, like being at stuff and I'm just like,

01:14:39.820 Oh gosh, man.

01:14:40.640 Like I don't, I don't really try to not think about myself that way.

01:14:44.580 Yeah.

01:14:44.800 Well, it's interesting.

01:14:45.640 Yeah.

01:14:45.780 Cause if you start thinking about yourself that way, I think it's almost better to try and purposely

01:14:49.980 not think of yourself as that way.

01:14:51.380 Yeah, for sure.

01:14:51.900 Almost like, let me add in some things that'd be, seem a little bit more normal.

01:14:55.720 You know, I've got this cyber truck and that was being kind of a nightmare cause it's fun

01:14:59.200 to drive, but it's just too much attention.

01:15:01.940 You know, I saw it and then I'll be hiding in it and I'm just, do you like it though?

01:15:08.000 It's fun.

01:15:10.800 Yeah.

01:15:11.280 But it's, it's quiet too.

01:15:13.920 It's like pixelated.

01:15:14.900 It looks pixelated.

01:15:15.980 Yeah.

01:15:16.300 It feels like you just travel.

01:15:17.400 Like you're literally, it feels like you'll put this, like you'll press the gas and you'll 0.99

01:15:21.160 wake up in damn August, dude. 0.98

01:15:22.720 It just. 0.99

01:15:23.980 Yeah.

01:15:24.320 You're gone.

01:15:25.640 And it, it's like instant torque in those things.

01:15:28.380 You were into the future.

01:15:29.640 You could go zero to 60 in like two seconds.

01:15:31.920 And that thing is.

01:15:32.560 And half a yawn, brother, you'd be over there. 0.99

01:15:35.040 Damn, get you there quick, bro. 0.99

01:15:37.160 I got an electric Polaris, dude. 0.99

01:15:38.640 And it's the same thing.

01:15:39.760 It cooks, huh?

01:15:41.200 Absolutely crushes.

01:15:42.720 But it doesn't smell like gas, dude.

01:15:44.940 My car used to have loose gas in it.

01:15:46.780 I remember when I was in high school.

01:15:48.740 Yeah.

01:15:49.380 My second vehicle, it was a Ford Jimmy or.

01:15:53.500 GMC Jimmy.

01:15:54.140 Yeah.

01:15:54.340 GMC Jimmy.

01:15:55.040 GMC Jimmy.

01:15:55.460 Actually, I think it was a GMC Ford Jimmy.

01:15:58.440 It was.

01:15:59.660 It was a.

01:16:00.400 Kind of two cars mixed together.

01:16:01.420 It was a merger.

01:16:02.620 Yeah.

01:16:03.280 Of a vehicle.

01:16:04.320 Welded together vehicle.

01:16:05.520 It was previously owned.

01:16:08.320 Yeah.

01:16:09.120 Yeah.

01:16:09.660 Previously totaled.

01:16:11.380 You know.

01:16:13.020 Do you.

01:16:13.720 Are there parts that like.

01:16:15.140 Because once you get to a certain level of just being known.

01:16:17.920 You can't.

01:16:19.540 There's.

01:16:19.940 You can never kind of go back to some of those.

01:16:22.080 Just like.

01:16:24.500 It's weird in life.

01:16:25.480 Sometimes it feels like you'll be able to go back.

01:16:27.380 And you can't.

01:16:28.960 Right.

01:16:29.120 You can't get back.

01:16:30.140 Like.

01:16:30.240 Just how you felt at the time.

01:16:32.180 Sure.

01:16:32.640 Sure.

01:16:33.260 You know.

01:16:33.960 Yeah.

01:16:34.320 And it's like.

01:16:34.580 I guess it's just life.

01:16:35.420 Do you ever feel like.

01:16:36.500 Like.

01:16:36.800 In this.

01:16:37.620 I.

01:16:37.860 I don't know much about the world of comedy.

01:16:40.440 Other than just being a fan of it.

01:16:41.900 But like.

01:16:43.160 Is you ever get sometimes where you're like.

01:16:45.080 Man.

01:16:45.280 You kind of like.

01:16:46.780 Saw how the sausage was made a little bit.

01:16:49.520 And you're just like.

01:16:50.460 Man.

01:16:50.720 Like you saw behind the curtain.

01:16:52.620 A little bit.

01:16:53.080 You know what I'm saying.

01:16:53.680 Like.

01:16:54.660 You haven't heard.

01:16:55.200 You've heard that.

01:16:55.860 Seeing behind the curtain.

01:16:57.980 Seeing how the sausage is made.

01:16:59.700 You know what I mean.

01:17:01.080 You know what I'm saying.

01:17:01.800 Dude.

01:17:02.540 I do not.

01:17:03.580 I want that.

01:17:04.320 Yeah you do.

01:17:05.060 Yeah you do.

01:17:06.120 Do you mean like.

01:17:06.900 You've heard that.

01:17:07.600 Seeing like.

01:17:08.480 Seeing how like.

01:17:09.360 Movies and TV and music are made.

01:17:11.460 Yes.

01:17:12.000 Oh.

01:17:12.320 A hundred percent.

01:17:13.340 Yes.

01:17:13.500 Yes.

01:17:14.460 You know.

01:17:14.900 Like no one.

01:17:15.520 If you saw how they made a hot dog.

01:17:17.520 You probably wouldn't want to eat a hot dog.

01:17:19.220 You know what I'm saying.

01:17:20.160 Like.

01:17:20.420 If I saw how they made hot dogs.

01:17:22.080 Yeah.

01:17:22.400 I would A.

01:17:22.960 Call child protective services.

01:17:26.200 But it's.

01:17:26.880 I feel like sometimes the entertainment business can be that way.

01:17:29.460 Oh.

01:17:29.720 I agree.

01:17:30.500 Where you're like.

01:17:31.000 Man.

01:17:31.400 I.

01:17:31.720 You know.

01:17:32.440 It just.

01:17:32.980 It loses that like.

01:17:34.800 It loses that thing.

01:17:35.780 The magic.

01:17:36.480 Right.

01:17:36.860 Like the shine or the.

01:17:37.980 Yeah.

01:17:38.240 Whatever is like.

01:17:39.440 You know.

01:17:40.420 Oh.

01:17:40.820 There's something wonderful about sitting at home.

01:17:42.820 Just thinking like.

01:17:43.700 Man.

01:17:43.940 What it would be like to be on this thing.

01:17:46.340 Like the voice.

01:17:47.220 Or like a show.

01:17:47.940 You know.

01:17:48.140 Like.

01:17:48.740 Sure.

01:17:48.920 But then you don't realize if you are on that.

01:17:50.800 Like all this.

01:17:51.500 The.

01:17:51.760 Just like.

01:17:52.660 You see all the behind the working.

01:17:54.320 Yeah.

01:17:54.620 So it's still part of a dream.

01:17:56.260 But it doesn't have the same look as if you're just.

01:17:58.880 Like just viewing it.

01:17:59.960 You know.

01:18:00.640 Yeah.

01:18:01.000 You lose.

01:18:01.580 You just lose.

01:18:02.380 Well.

01:18:02.600 I just like.

01:18:03.640 I can't even like.

01:18:04.580 And you're.

01:18:05.100 You may be this way with like comedy and stuff.

01:18:07.180 But I can't even.

01:18:08.080 Like consume music the way I used to.

01:18:10.960 Like I'm constantly like.

01:18:12.620 Looking at it.

01:18:13.140 Not critiquing it.

01:18:13.820 But I'm looking through.

01:18:14.680 At it through a different lens.

01:18:15.760 Through business more lens.

01:18:16.880 Different things like that.

01:18:17.300 Yeah.

01:18:17.320 And I'm like.

01:18:17.700 Man.

01:18:17.960 Well.

01:18:18.160 This is so good.

01:18:19.040 Because this thing.

01:18:20.340 And that.

01:18:20.960 Oh yeah.

01:18:21.320 And before it was just good.

01:18:22.840 Yeah.

01:18:23.640 Like the song was just good.

01:18:25.080 Or the artist was just good.

01:18:26.420 It wasn't like.

01:18:27.680 Well.

01:18:27.980 This.

01:18:28.920 Guy.

01:18:29.360 Is really.

01:18:30.080 He's playing this character.

01:18:31.580 Or this.

01:18:32.360 Girl.

01:18:32.940 Is really great at this.

01:18:34.040 One.

01:18:34.680 Yeah.

01:18:35.000 Or technique thing.

01:18:36.060 It's like.

01:18:36.820 You did any.

01:18:37.520 Almost like when you don't know why it's good.

01:18:39.500 It's better.

01:18:41.180 You know what I mean?

01:18:41.640 Oh yeah.

01:18:42.280 Dude.

01:18:42.420 And now sometimes I'm like.

01:18:43.720 Now I can.

01:18:44.300 You read the ingredients now.

01:18:45.460 Right.

01:18:45.880 And I'm like.

01:18:46.400 Oh.

01:18:46.720 It's good.

01:18:47.200 Because this thing happened.

01:18:48.980 Or that thing happened.

01:18:50.300 Or you know.

01:18:51.220 Yeah.

01:18:51.660 Things were.

01:18:52.100 Yeah.

01:18:52.520 Everything had a little bit more magic in it.

01:18:54.060 Before you knew what was going on.

01:18:55.720 Yeah.

01:18:56.220 And it's.

01:18:56.700 You'd love to be able to kind of get that.

01:18:59.180 To be able to recapture that.

01:19:00.640 Yeah.

01:19:01.180 It would be.

01:19:02.040 You know.

01:19:02.260 And there's moments.

01:19:03.080 I mean.

01:19:03.680 You know.

01:19:04.100 I mean.

01:19:05.100 Dude.

01:19:05.660 It's still the best.

01:19:07.600 I mean.

01:19:07.800 We're still living our dream in a lot of ways.

01:19:09.140 Yeah.

01:19:09.540 You know.

01:19:09.840 In almost every way possible I am.

01:19:11.600 You know.

01:19:11.780 So.

01:19:11.980 I have zero complaints really about.

01:19:14.520 About my life.

01:19:15.420 Dude.

01:19:15.660 But.

01:19:16.320 It's just you.

01:19:17.180 You want.

01:19:17.820 You kind of like.

01:19:19.160 You can't help but evolve.

01:19:20.500 You can't recapture that.

01:19:21.580 Right.

01:19:22.000 Yeah.

01:19:22.160 You just can't.

01:19:22.720 Yeah.

01:19:22.840 You can never kind of go back to where you were.

01:19:24.860 That time.

01:19:25.620 That.

01:19:26.700 Like the chase.

01:19:27.460 Like the.

01:19:28.220 The being excited about.

01:19:30.020 Being where you are now.

01:19:31.220 Yeah.

01:19:32.080 That's half the fun.

01:19:33.160 Is like trying to get there.

01:19:34.580 And trying to figure out how to get there.

01:19:35.940 And doing everything it takes to get there.

01:19:37.500 Is like.

01:19:38.240 A lot of the enjoyment of the process.

01:19:40.580 You know what I mean.

01:19:41.260 And yeah.

01:19:41.580 They always say that.

01:19:42.240 But you don't really realize it.

01:19:43.220 While it's going on.

01:19:43.980 Yeah.

01:19:44.340 For sure.

01:19:44.900 And then all of a sudden.

01:19:45.700 You realize there's.

01:19:46.600 You can't.

01:19:46.940 You can't recapture it.

01:19:48.120 You're like.

01:19:48.440 Dang.

01:19:49.400 And I wish I would have.

01:19:50.760 Bottled that up somehow.

01:19:51.880 A little bit better.

01:19:52.180 Done this thing.

01:19:52.520 Or done that more.

01:19:53.780 Do you think though.

01:19:54.660 Like.

01:19:56.700 Didn't have a great trajectory.

01:19:57.740 Just a great career.

01:19:58.660 You just.

01:19:59.160 You know.

01:19:59.880 You've worked hard.

01:20:00.820 And you've also been fortunate.

01:20:02.160 Right.

01:20:02.440 Yes.

01:20:02.760 Very much so.

01:20:03.340 So.

01:20:04.080 How do.

01:20:05.800 Does it get to be like.

01:20:07.700 Well what else is there to shoot for.

01:20:09.700 Kind of like.

01:20:10.120 Does that kind of become a.

01:20:12.320 And not like in a net.

01:20:13.300 Like a.

01:20:14.080 Just curious.

01:20:14.980 Like.

01:20:15.480 How do you find a motivation.

01:20:17.080 If you're.

01:20:17.880 Do you feel like it could be a trap.

01:20:19.340 Like.

01:20:19.560 Oh.

01:20:19.660 I don't want to lose motivation here.

01:20:21.120 Because things have gone so well.

01:20:22.780 Yeah.

01:20:23.240 For sure.

01:20:23.680 For sure.

01:20:24.080 Man.

01:20:24.320 Because you.

01:20:25.500 You know.

01:20:25.980 You kind of get to this.

01:20:28.060 Place where you're like.

01:20:28.940 Man.

01:20:29.100 I feel like I've done.

01:20:30.040 You know.

01:20:30.340 A lot of the stuff that I feel like I can do.

01:20:32.420 Almost like.

01:20:33.340 As far as achievements go.

01:20:34.860 Or whatever it may be.

01:20:35.860 And.

01:20:37.020 Yeah.

01:20:37.380 You think.

01:20:38.020 You know.

01:20:38.260 You have to do as much work.

01:20:40.320 Or more work.

01:20:41.320 Than you've ever done.

01:20:42.600 To stay in that place.

01:20:44.700 As the word before.

01:20:45.320 If you're doing that amount of work.

01:20:46.640 You're constantly moving towards a goal.

01:20:49.260 Right.

01:20:49.580 It's like.

01:20:50.440 If you work all this.

01:20:52.500 Time.

01:20:53.000 To climb.

01:20:54.020 Mount Everest.

01:20:55.220 And it's.

01:20:55.720 Say it's so hard.

01:20:56.960 You know.

01:28:34.740 Like they're just like leather bottom.

01:28:36.400 Yeah.

01:28:37.180 And they, so they literally don't have tread.

01:28:39.200 Like it's like, it's like walking on a like marble on the bottom of your feet or something.

01:28:43.880 Yeah.

01:28:44.020 I've seen those.

01:28:44.860 Those always seem like you're not sure what this guy's going to be like when you see them.

01:28:48.120 And they're, dude, they're insanely comfortable, but it rained so much the last couple of days.

01:28:52.800 So my yard is like, this is, I mean, our house is from the, probably the sixties or something.

01:28:57.840 So.

01:28:58.040 Oh, wow.

01:28:58.500 When they built the house, like there wasn't like the same kind of like grading, um, permitting that

01:29:04.580 goes on now.

01:29:05.240 So like the house kind of sits on this hill, but the back, it's just a small hill, but

01:29:10.120 the, the backyard is all kind of sloped down towards the house.

01:29:13.180 And then right before they built the house, there's just a little bit more of a slope as

01:29:18.220 to where now they would kind of have to grade it out and smooth it out. 0.99

01:29:21.920 So back then those bitches were a little choppy. 1.00

01:29:24.080 Yeah. 0.99

01:29:24.140 They were just like, whatever, just pop the house anywhere, you know?

01:29:27.000 And so I'm walking down in the moccasins and I was, my kid was in a splash pad, dude.

01:29:32.440 And he was like, we got him this little slide and we put him down there and he like, it

01:29:36.580 like scared him.

01:29:37.360 And he's like crying.

01:29:38.120 I'm like, Oh, you're good, dude.

01:29:39.420 It's cool.

01:29:40.020 I was like, do you want to see that?

01:29:41.280 I jump in the big pool.

01:29:42.360 Like, cause we have a little pool.

01:29:43.700 Oh yeah.

01:29:44.100 You got to do a trick for a kid.

01:29:45.420 He's like, dude, like cheer him up, you know?

01:29:47.840 So I go to go down the hill, dude.

01:29:49.140 I'm in the moccasins and just, dude, both of my feet just go.

01:29:53.740 And I'm talking about, dude, I hit the ground like on my back.

01:29:57.700 So like the way the hill is like the flushest you could ever hit something.

01:30:01.400 Oh wow.

01:30:01.680 It was like my entire back hit the ground at the same time.

01:30:04.780 Perfectly lined up.

01:30:05.680 And just boom. 0.93

01:30:06.320 And I was just like, I mean, I just remember sitting up and I just sat there and my, my

01:30:10.980 wife and my two kids are behind me.

01:30:12.760 I can't see them.

01:30:13.460 I'm just like, and my, I knew I was like, this could be serious.

01:30:18.700 Cause my wife isn't even laughing. 1.00

01:30:20.260 Like she wasn't like, ha you idiot. 1.00

01:30:23.160 Like you felt like it was just, we, I just kind of sat there for a second and was like, 0.99

01:30:26.980 and just kind of processed like, am I, is everything fine?

01:30:32.240 Like, am I cool?

01:30:33.940 Like, can I get up from this?

01:30:35.540 And then my wife was just like, you okay?

01:30:38.220 And I was like, yeah, I'm good.

01:30:39.780 Just kind of.

01:30:41.840 Yeah.

01:30:42.200 But it's kind of felt like getting like, you know, I played football in high school or

01:30:46.320 whatever.

01:30:46.540 So it kind of felt like getting like just absolutely blindside blocked.

01:30:50.600 Like, I mean, just rattling.

01:30:52.660 Yeah.

01:30:53.220 I mean, luckily the ground was soft cause it was so wet and stuff, but I had just hit

01:30:57.720 flush.

01:30:58.520 There's moments as an adult when you hit, when you get hurt and you're like, dang, you're

01:31:02.460 like, dude, I'm not doing good.

01:31:04.160 Yeah.

01:31:04.460 You're like, man, this is 15, 20 years from now.

01:31:08.060 This would be a huge issue.

01:31:10.420 We would have a big problem, dude.

01:31:12.780 Well, a lot of grandparents go missing, even if there's like just a slippery floor or whatever.

01:31:16.800 Yeah.

01:31:17.220 You have to get a skid steer out on me in a couple of years from now.

01:31:20.400 Dude, imagine somebody's opening a can of that.

01:31:22.640 What kind of peach is to make a pie or something. 1.00

01:31:24.500 They spill some peach syrup onto the ground.

01:31:27.600 Pop, pop comes motoring through later.

01:31:30.380 Okay.

01:31:31.700 To get him a couple of saltine crackers.

01:31:35.360 He's got the moccasins on.

01:31:36.600 He's got the moccasins on, dude.

01:31:38.740 Yeah.

01:31:38.980 He's mocked up.

01:31:40.140 He just slips out.

01:31:41.700 And he just slips.

01:31:42.820 His whole spine.

01:31:43.280 He all goes on the way.

01:31:44.720 Both of his knees.

01:31:46.000 Yeah.

01:31:46.080 And he just, oh.

01:31:48.200 Yeah.

01:31:48.400 That's brutal, dude.

01:31:49.740 I never, like yesterday was the, it was the first moment where I was like, I'm good.

01:31:55.500 But like, man, this could have been like, I'm not a good situation, dude.

01:31:59.880 You know what I mean?

01:32:00.540 I'm like, it could have been not good, dude.

01:32:03.080 It's risky now, dude.

01:32:04.640 You don't know who's what.

01:32:05.980 You just don't know what's going on.

01:32:08.160 Slippery out there in those moccasins.

01:32:09.440 Well, it's just, what did I see you had done?

01:32:13.620 A gender reveal? 0.80

01:32:14.700 Was it something I saw?

01:32:15.400 Oh, I've done a few.

01:32:16.220 Yeah.

01:32:16.580 Done a few.

01:32:17.460 Yeah.

01:32:17.640 Do you guys get some big requests for stuff like that all the time?

01:32:19.540 I'm sure.

01:32:19.760 A lot of them are just like, people in the crowd will have like signs, like, do this

01:32:25.020 gender reveal.

01:32:25.540 And I'm like, oh my gosh, like, you're there.

01:32:28.380 Yeah.

01:32:28.660 Like, they're here, like, with the envelope.

01:32:30.660 Like, they've waited this whole time, dude.

01:32:33.880 Like, I always try to ask, like, what is it?

01:32:37.320 What, you know, was it your first kid?

01:32:39.280 What do you think it is?

01:32:40.640 I think we're going to go boy.

01:32:42.820 Justin, what do you think it's going to be?

01:32:44.160 Your girl.

01:32:45.540 Oh, that girl. 1.00

01:32:46.500 That guy's a pervert, huh? 1.00

01:32:47.500 Come on, guy. 0.99

01:32:53.320 Massey, is this you on the sticks here?

01:32:55.340 Filming this?

01:32:59.440 Yeah, dude.

01:33:00.600 It's kind of nerve.

01:33:01.480 It's like a big moment, you know?

01:33:02.720 Oh, for sure.

01:33:03.580 If you find out if your kid is going to be cool or not.

01:33:11.420 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:33:13.720 Oh, that's awesome, though, dude.

01:33:15.300 What if the kid, like, hated country music, like, later on in life?

01:33:19.420 For sure, and uses that as a thing.

01:33:21.020 And that was their gender reveal? 0.70

01:33:22.920 And you're like, dude, I hate that guy's music. 0.98

01:33:25.720 Stinks, dude. 0.70

01:33:26.860 That guy did my gender reveal? 0.99

01:33:29.100 That was the plan, dude?

01:33:31.580 That would be brutal, dude.

01:33:34.200 But, dude, look, bro.

01:33:35.560 At that time, we could be online doing gender reveals on cameo for people.

01:33:40.540 You know what I'm saying?

01:33:41.260 Like, who knows?

01:33:42.800 There's no way.

01:33:43.540 That's a real thing.

01:33:44.120 People do gender reveals on cameo all the time now.

01:33:46.740 I saw one where they got the guy, I feel like it was the lead singer of Sugar Ray, to, like, break up with their girlfriend for him.

01:33:55.100 Yeah, it was wild, dude.

01:33:57.020 There's some wild cameos out there.

01:33:58.900 Dude, that's when Fly, remember that song?

01:34:01.560 That song is around forever, bro.

01:34:09.900 Here it is, dude.

01:34:11.280 Woman, I'm sure a front man, dude.

01:34:14.140 Let's see it, dude.

01:34:16.940 A lot of people that is coming out of the closet now.

01:34:19.340 It's adults just doing gender reveals.

01:34:21.240 People are like, what?

01:34:22.820 Go back to work.

01:34:23.800 Go back to work.

01:34:24.680 What's up, Brayden?

01:34:29.520 It is Mark McGrath from the band Sugar Ray, off the charts, but always in your hearts.

01:34:38.040 And this cameo was so crazy.

01:34:40.440 Okay, so we're in the video of McGrath.

01:34:41.800 Tell us a guy named-

01:34:42.460 Home Alone's brother.

01:34:44.400 Dude, Buzz?

01:34:45.320 Buzz, your girlfriend, woof, dude. 1.00

01:34:48.680 He looks like Buzz if Buzz got some facial reconstructive surgery, I feel like.

01:34:57.000 Dude.

01:34:57.620 But what did he do?

01:34:58.260 Nothing?

01:34:58.560 It looked like they were overdubbing it.

01:35:00.760 We can watch all the way through, but the news guys were just going to talk about it.

01:35:02.840 Oh, you break up with the boyfriend?

01:35:04.220 Yeah, he broke up with the boyfriend.

01:35:05.700 Yeah.

01:35:06.920 To break up with her.

01:35:07.800 So a girl hires him to break up with her boyfriend.

01:35:11.480 That's demon level.

01:35:12.960 Yeah, it's pretty demon, man.

01:35:14.040 That's demon stuff there.

01:35:15.120 I'm trying to think of the first-

01:35:15.940 I wonder if it was like his favorite band, too.

01:35:18.040 Like, was it an uber personal-

01:35:21.120 Sugar Ray, you mean?

01:35:21.940 Was it like, dude, my boyfriend always loved Sugar Ray, so I'm hiring the lead singer to

01:35:26.960 break up with him?

01:35:27.560 Like, almost just to make him, like, hate the band or something?

01:35:30.700 Like, was it really dark in that sense?

01:35:32.620 Like, if you love Doritos or whatever.

01:35:34.880 And you could hire Doritos to break up with you? 0.99

01:35:36.220 And you could hire, like, Jerry Cool Ranch or whatever to break up with your girlfriend.

01:35:41.640 Or you wrote it out in, like, bags of Doritos.

01:35:45.340 It was like, we're breaking up with you.

01:35:47.380 But, like, how did they decide on the lead singer, Sugar Ray?

01:35:50.620 Was it a question of affordability?

01:35:54.000 I don't know.

01:35:54.360 It's a good question.

01:35:54.900 Are you like, hey, I was going to do Hulk Hogan.

01:35:58.300 Right, I was going to do Hulk Hogan, but there's a sale over here.

01:36:01.380 There's a sale at Sugar Ray.

01:36:03.380 Yeah, there's a sale at Sugar Ray for the next 30 minutes.

01:36:05.440 The next 30 minutes.

01:36:06.880 Breakups are half off on Mark McGrath's.

01:36:09.820 God, that's crazy.

01:36:10.800 That's even a thing now.

01:36:12.600 And you should have been Valentine's.

01:36:13.980 Like, you sent somebody something positive.

01:36:16.360 And now it's like, watch me ruin this lady's heart. 0.99

01:36:20.040 I love how he said, off the charts but forever in your hearts.

01:36:26.160 That's such a great line, dude.

01:36:29.080 That is a good slogan, dude.

01:36:31.340 That guy's looking beautiful.

01:36:32.880 A lot of men, sometimes they'll look so beautiful they look like women sometimes, too.

01:36:37.500 He's definitely aged gracefully.

01:36:40.880 Oh, he will be a hot chicken two or three years.

01:36:44.960 There's no doubt there's a lot of people.

01:36:47.140 They just run that gamut.

01:36:49.020 They run the full circle.

01:36:49.860 Yeah.

01:36:50.480 It's not over here.

01:36:52.700 It's a big circle.

01:36:53.600 Oh, it is.

01:36:54.340 Yeah, they're just spinning around.

01:36:55.660 Oh, definitely.

01:36:56.900 Oh, definitely.

01:36:58.120 There's a lot happening.

01:36:59.460 It's beautiful.

01:37:01.760 The hair is quaffed.

01:37:03.560 It's good.

01:37:04.080 The hair is good, man.

01:37:05.780 So is it, whenever you start a new album, do you then have to go tour it after?

01:37:09.560 Is that kind of how it goes?

01:37:10.560 Or is it?

01:37:11.220 I think traditionally that's how a lot of folks do it.

01:37:14.080 This album, it feels like, in a lot of ways, non-traditional in the sense of like, it started

01:37:20.540 out as just kind of this like, you know, wild idea of like, I had written a couple of these

01:37:27.300 dad songs that I really liked.

01:37:28.860 And I was like, man, I feel like, you know, these three of these songs are really great.

01:37:32.940 I love them.

01:37:34.260 But I was like, but I have to like, choose one if I'm going to do a record.

01:37:37.340 Because like, you can't put a record out.

01:37:39.560 And then it's like, oh, there's like three or four dads.

01:37:42.000 I was like, we get it, dude.

01:37:42.920 We've heard it.

01:37:43.400 Right.

01:37:43.820 My gosh.

01:37:44.300 And I was like, well, would it make sense to like, to do something that's, I don't want

01:37:48.320 to say side project.

01:37:49.480 That's not the right term.

01:37:50.240 Because it is me.

01:37:51.140 It is my stuff.

01:37:51.880 But like, I hate the word concept album.

01:37:55.060 Because like, it feels like that's too smart for something that I'm capable of doing.

01:37:58.680 Right.

01:37:59.040 Like, someone that makes a concept album to me is like a super genius level musician.

01:38:05.300 And I'm not that at all.

01:38:07.220 But it's like a cornbread concept album.

01:38:11.200 Okay.

01:38:11.480 I like it.

01:38:11.640 You know what I mean?

01:38:13.120 But it's just, I was like, well, if I made a whole record of just these songs, you know,

01:38:17.620 and then I got like, like a lot of my buddies, we're all the same age.

01:38:20.240 So they're having kids.

01:38:21.460 So, you know, they're, you know, they've got aging parents too.

01:38:24.940 And so all these themes are running through all of our lives.

01:38:27.200 And so they would start sending me little clips because, you know, they knew I had kids

01:38:31.240 or whatever.

01:38:31.920 And so they'd send me a star to something and I go, God, man, I really love that.

01:38:35.960 I'd love to like get together, work on that or whatever.

01:38:38.200 And next thing you know, I end up with, you know, a whole record full of these songs.

01:38:41.980 And I was like, we should just record these and like, just do a project that's just,

01:38:47.060 you know, so it's like, it's my next record, I guess.

01:38:50.620 But it also doesn't feel like my next record, if that makes sense.

01:38:54.400 Like, it's not like, if you want to listen to all my other records, it's not logically

01:39:01.340 the next step from like where you would think that it would go.

01:39:04.280 It's just kind of like where my life has taken me.

01:39:06.560 Like sonically, it's very, like I said, we recorded it live.

01:39:09.940 So it's very like, it's very traditional country sounding stuff.

01:39:14.820 Cause it's all just live instrumentation.

01:39:16.520 There's a lot of fiddle.

01:39:17.820 There's a lot of dobro.

01:39:19.580 Like it's, it's very natural sounding.

01:39:22.880 And so, you know.

01:39:24.060 Yeah, it sounds groovy.

01:39:24.840 I mean, I'm willing to listen to about maybe six or seven songs or something.

01:39:27.680 But it's definitely got its own vibe to it.

01:39:30.240 Always Leaving, what's that one?

01:39:31.860 Oh, yeah.

01:39:33.340 All I ever do is leave.

01:39:34.340 Yeah.

01:39:34.720 Oof, that's a Hammer song, dude.

01:39:36.460 God dang, brother.

01:39:37.460 God, that song's, that's, that song's brutal, dude. 1.00

01:39:40.420 Oh, I'll hide my own eyes in my ass, dude. 0.99

01:39:42.440 I've definitely, I've got some problems, but yes. 0.99

01:39:45.660 There's some good, there's some good ones on there, man.

01:39:47.620 Sometimes I think it's easier for people to leave than stay, man.

01:39:51.740 I see that.

01:39:52.900 Some people, they just, they know they can't change themselves.

01:39:57.020 Right.

01:39:57.340 And so they'd rather leave somebody.

01:39:59.320 Yeah.

01:39:59.660 And eliminate themselves from the situation.

01:40:02.620 Dude, that's crazy, man.

01:40:04.300 Yeah, that's for sure, man.

01:40:06.080 It happens all the time, dude.

01:40:07.920 It happens all the time.

01:40:09.480 God, dude.

01:40:10.480 But yeah, when I was a kid, country music, they had this thing called Crying, Loving, or Leaving.

01:40:14.540 You'd call the radio station.

01:40:16.120 Okay.

01:40:16.420 And you'd tell them if you were crying, they'd be like, are you crying, loving, or leaving?

01:40:21.400 And you had to tell what was happening in your life.

01:40:23.760 And then they would play a song based on it.

01:40:25.540 Yeah, Dorothy stole my car tires or whatever, right?

01:40:28.040 Wow.

01:40:28.760 And then you'd be like, all right, well, you know, and you'd be like, I'm loving.

01:40:32.760 And I'm, I want to.

01:40:33.700 There it is, dude.

01:40:34.060 Still there.

01:40:34.780 Tell her this song.

01:40:35.760 That was it.

01:40:38.060 107.7, Crying, Loving, or Leaving.

01:40:41.280 And that was it.

01:40:42.060 You'd call in there, and then they'd play some of them.

01:40:44.200 You'd have to wait and see.

01:40:46.080 Dude, that's wild.

01:40:47.100 That's a pretty cool title, though.

01:40:48.780 It was pretty good, man.

01:40:50.120 And you'd tell them, yeah, you'd be like, this is for Tiffany.

01:40:52.540 She's passed on.

01:40:53.760 And they'd be like, oh, I'm so sad.

01:40:56.160 And you and Tiffany would be sitting there howling, laughing.

01:40:59.200 Laughing about it.

01:41:00.160 One of my favorites is the, some of my favorite radio skits is the John Cena one, dude.

01:41:06.120 Oh, yeah.

01:41:06.740 You know what I'm talking about?

01:41:07.420 Yeah.

01:41:07.840 Where he's just, they're spamming that lady with the, like, WWE pay-per-view. 1.00

01:41:12.540 With the phone?

01:41:13.480 It's like a phone call.

01:41:14.820 Yeah.

01:41:15.440 And it's this, it's some telemarketer.

01:41:18.020 Play it up.

01:41:19.900 It's a long play, dude.

01:41:23.020 Hello?

01:41:23.380 I have just one question for you.

01:41:27.640 Are you ready?

01:41:31.300 Am I ready for what?

01:41:32.940 Who's this?

01:41:33.640 Are you ready for this Sunday night?

01:41:35.960 With WWE champ John Cena.

01:41:38.860 Dude, the music.

01:41:40.360 And this goes on.

01:41:42.600 They continue to call this woman back. 0.85

01:41:43.920 And she stays on there.

01:41:44.540 No, they, she hangs up a bunch of times. 0.95

01:41:47.040 And they call her back, dude.

01:41:48.620 And she gets, she's like, we're not.

01:41:51.100 No, there is not any chance in hell that we're ever going to have wrestling in this house again.

01:41:55.260 But thank you.

01:41:56.320 But no.

01:41:56.760 Because the husband called and said, hey, my wife, we bought this pay-per-view. 0.98

01:42:01.160 And she, like, our son destroyed something.

01:42:02.900 And she got really pissed off.

01:42:04.600 And goodbye to anyone standing in John Cena's way.

01:42:08.720 Dude, there's one they say, spit-swapping makeup, make-out match, dude. 1.00

01:42:19.080 It's on.

01:42:20.500 It gets to the point where, at the end, they skip to, like.

01:42:26.460 Dude, she gets pissed, dude. 1.00

01:42:28.660 Like, it probably towards.

01:42:29.760 She has an attitude problem.

01:42:30.400 Yeah, keep, y'all.

01:42:30.900 She gets mad, dude.

01:42:32.100 Yeah, I'd say probably this mark somewhere.

01:42:33.880 She needs to get some vitamin D, probably. 0.98

01:42:36.220 It can mess with her cortisol levels. 1.00

01:42:37.680 There's one where.

01:42:38.920 I can't handle this.

01:42:39.800 I can't not handle this.

01:42:44.680 Hang up the phone.

01:42:46.020 No, she hangs up a bunch of times.

01:42:47.620 And they continue to call her back, dude.

01:42:49.900 And then.

01:42:50.620 This lady has CTE, I think. 1.00

01:42:52.320 Are you talking about the one where they fake being someone else or something?

01:42:54.800 There's a point where they get.

01:42:56.680 And this lady, when she picks up, she's like, stop. 0.98

01:42:59.120 Call my.

01:42:59.380 And this is like, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.

01:43:01.480 She's like, I have a quick question.

01:43:03.500 Do you support our troops?

01:43:05.460 She's like, oh, my God.

01:43:06.460 Like, I'm so, I'm so embarrassed.

01:43:08.740 Like, these people had been calling me or whatever.

01:43:11.920 And they were like.

01:43:13.100 And she was like, yes, I support the troops.

01:43:15.120 And she was like, because an American hero needs your help, dude.

01:43:19.380 It's a former Marine.

01:43:20.660 And she's like, really?

01:43:22.060 His name's John Cena.

01:43:24.700 Dude, she loses her mind, dude. 1.00

01:43:27.960 It's quite the troll, dude.

01:43:29.800 That's the shorter version, but it's got this weird video.

01:43:32.000 Oh, the shorter version with one of those weird TikTok videos.

01:43:35.300 I know.

01:43:35.900 Why do kids do that now?

01:43:37.360 Like, it's just like a video of them playing Grand Theft Auto.

01:43:40.020 Yeah, it's like a video that's going along with videos.

01:43:43.160 It just keeps people engaged without them having to do anything.

01:43:46.620 Dude, that's crazy.

01:43:48.340 It's like psychology level stuff.

01:43:50.240 Yeah, it is.

01:43:50.980 It's like, oh, watch this.

01:43:52.320 Yeah, maybe.

01:43:53.360 You're like, watch this car bounce down the road, dude.

01:43:56.240 Oh, this is it.

01:43:56.960 This is the one.

01:43:57.780 All right, let's see it.

01:43:58.860 Well, this at least has the audio.

01:44:00.440 Can you knock it off for five seconds?

01:44:01.840 So at the start of this one is the audio of the, like, the fourth time they call her

01:44:07.820 when she's like, hey, do you support our troops or whatever?

01:44:10.540 But the videos, they're mind-numbing.

01:44:17.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:44:17.660 I swear to Jesus, if this is those wrestling f***s again. 0.98

01:44:22.680 Okay, good morning. 0.84

01:44:23.980 Hi, I'm just calling this morning to ask if you're a supporter of the United States military.

01:44:29.260 Oh, my God.

01:44:29.800 I apologize.

01:44:30.960 We've been getting calls all morning.

01:44:32.860 I apologize, and yes.

01:44:34.880 Yes, I am.

01:44:35.840 Great.

01:44:36.220 Are you a supporter of the Marine Corps?

01:44:38.980 Yes, absolutely.

01:44:40.060 Good.

01:44:40.780 Absolutely.

01:44:41.700 Because a former decorated member of the United States Marine Corps needs your support.

01:44:46.600 And his name is John Cena.

01:44:52.600 Are you kidding me right now?

01:44:54.820 Dude, whoever did that prank, that's an elite level.

01:44:58.740 I guess at least no matter what, we could always just make TikToks, you know?

01:45:03.600 Yeah, because all we need is, like, stock video game.

01:45:06.320 Like, mod a video game and just do stock videos of a car, like, falling out of the sky.

01:45:12.700 Well, I've had a vision for years that it's going to come down to everybody's going to be in, like, gig economy, and people are going to be, like, holding each other at good point to be each other's Uber fares.

01:45:23.120 So it'll be, like, two Uber drivers.

01:45:25.120 Both of them need to make money, though.

01:45:26.900 Yeah.

01:45:27.520 She'll be like, you'll be my fare, you know?

01:45:30.480 That's what it's going to come down to, dude.

01:45:32.180 I always think of iRobot when they're just in the, like, the floating...

01:45:36.220 I never saw it.

01:45:37.080 Or, no, WALL-E.

01:45:38.100 Have you seen WALL-E?

01:45:39.000 Oh, yeah, I love WALL-E.

01:45:40.660 You can watch it in Spanish, too.

01:45:42.160 The Titanic, the, like, space Titanic, and they're all in the chairs with, like, the VR headsets on, and they just, they're all, like, 800 pounds.

01:45:50.940 I haven't seen it.

01:45:51.660 And I was like, man, it's a terrifying potential reality for you.

01:45:54.880 You guys, do you guys use a lot of VR over at the house?

01:45:57.780 Dude, no.

01:45:59.540 What?

01:45:59.820 Dude, what?

01:46:00.620 Dude, do I use a lot of VR, dude?

01:46:04.300 What would I be using?

01:46:05.880 I don't know.

01:46:06.520 What do you think would be happening, dude?

01:46:09.120 Buck hunting.

01:46:09.840 Here's the WALL-E.

01:46:10.560 This is the WALL-E visual here, dude.

01:46:11.880 Muffin making?

01:46:12.460 I have no idea what it would be for.

01:46:15.740 Dude, integrated reality muffin making, dude, is what it is.

01:46:21.040 Yeah.

01:46:21.380 You could just point at the muffins and they go into the oven.

01:46:23.560 Yeah.

01:46:24.020 It's just crazy.

01:46:27.200 Oh, my goodness, dude.

01:46:28.680 Dude, that would be so nuts if we had a VR, like, if your whole life was VR.

01:46:34.520 Like Neuralink, dude.

01:46:36.060 Yeah, they just got the guy.

01:46:36.960 See the kid?

01:46:37.420 Yeah, saw the guy with the Neuralink thing.

01:46:39.180 You could play chess or whatever.

01:46:40.820 But it seems like you can just play shitty games that they had on your cell phone like

01:46:43.680 15 years ago. 0.98

01:46:44.620 That's the thing about Neuralink that seems so trash, too. 0.79

01:46:48.940 It's just, like, it's, like, just Minesweeper. 0.77

01:46:51.560 Yeah.

01:46:52.360 It's, like, way.

01:46:53.560 Yeah.

01:46:53.940 It's just getting there.

01:46:55.260 It's just getting, you know.

01:46:56.840 Yeah.

01:46:57.120 It's just missing a lot of stuff.

01:46:58.780 A guy paralyzed from.

01:46:59.980 Like, he's playing Mario Kart.

01:47:01.160 He's playing Mario Kart using a Neuralink brain implant.

01:47:03.660 Yeah.

01:47:03.960 I would just.

01:47:04.360 It's pretty gassed, though.

01:47:06.160 Yeah.

01:47:06.580 I mean, he could just look at it and tell it what to do.

01:47:08.540 It's better than, like, not playing Mario Kart.

01:47:11.340 That's true.

01:47:11.720 Because that's, like, the other option, I think, right?

01:47:13.600 It's, like, to not be playing Mario Kart.

01:47:15.580 Yeah, I think.

01:47:16.420 So that could be cool.

01:47:17.980 Yeah, that's a good point.

01:47:18.900 You know, if you couldn't do anything, playing chess would be cooler than, like.

01:47:23.980 Yeah.

01:47:24.480 Not doing anything, I think, is the alternate version.

01:47:27.280 Yeah, but it seems like they just have a limited amount of games and stuff.

01:47:30.300 I don't know if I'd rather Neuralink or just get a PS5 or whatever.

01:47:33.100 Or just get a VR headset.

01:47:35.040 Yeah.

01:47:35.540 But you, well.

01:47:36.660 VR is crazy, though, man.

01:47:38.180 You can, like, there's people, like, having their own, like, guys will get a VR and then

01:47:44.760 they'll have their own family inside of the VR world, even though they already have a family

01:47:48.740 in their house.

01:47:50.100 I feel like people have already been doing that, but just in real life, people have been

01:47:53.380 doing that for some time.

01:47:54.840 Yeah, people have been cheating, but this guy.

01:47:56.300 This guy.

01:47:57.100 Doing it.

01:47:57.540 Is it doing an even less admirable version of cheating in some way, dude?

01:48:03.820 If you could make cheating even less admirable, it would be that version of it. 0.96

01:48:08.360 Yeah, this dude's not even brave enough to go out there and fucking cheat and use a little 0.98

01:48:11.140 gas money. 0.99

01:48:12.300 He's just.

01:48:13.240 Yeah, he's just, like, cheating. 0.99

01:48:14.840 He's just like, shut up, honey. 0.98

01:48:16.600 I'm with the other family right now. 0.99

01:48:18.560 He's in the living room.

01:48:20.660 He's, like, he's just dialed in, dude, to the house.

01:48:25.240 Oh, my gosh, dude.

01:48:26.300 He's like, my other family's naked.

01:48:28.140 It'd be like, what are you talking about, dude?

01:48:31.340 Somebody brought one out on the road recently, and that's maybe been last year or something,

01:48:35.520 but it was like this.

01:48:36.960 We had a bunch of our crew guys popped it on or whatever, and it was like, you would

01:48:41.020 get, so essentially you'd stand in this, you know, just any room or whatever, I guess.

01:48:44.700 I'll be hard work.

01:48:45.840 Anywhere's anywhere, right?

01:48:47.180 Oh, you could stand anywhere, yeah.

01:48:48.540 So you have to, like, you have the, like, thing, and you hit this button on, like, the

01:48:53.880 elevator, and you get in the elevator, and then when the door opens, you're, like, at

01:48:58.600 the top of the skyscraper.

01:49:00.120 Oh.

01:49:00.600 Like, when you open, it's just the skyscraper, and there's a wooden plank that comes out.

01:49:06.420 And is it windy or what?

01:49:07.860 Well, it's, I don't think so.

01:49:10.300 There's no way I know one.

01:49:11.780 Okay, you can turn the wind on?

01:49:13.380 Yeah, you can turn a fan on and get maybe the wind effect, you know?

01:49:16.380 So, but, dude, like, you, so physically in the VR, like, you have to, like, step out

01:49:22.680 onto the plank, like, and you obviously, you know, you're just, like, in a room.

01:49:28.880 But it looks so real.

01:49:30.160 Like, half the guys, like, wouldn't get out of the elevator.

01:49:32.980 Wow.

01:49:33.860 And then we had one guy, my buddy Hart just went out to the end, and he was looking down,

01:49:39.200 and then he was just, like, he just jumped.

01:49:41.340 No way.

01:49:42.020 I was like, bro, are you good?

01:49:43.640 Bro, I used to be in a wheelchair.

01:49:45.440 I used to be in a wheelchair.

01:49:47.100 That's what he's saying, dude.

01:49:49.020 He straight up jumped off the end, dude.

01:49:51.100 Oh, that's crazy. 0.99

01:49:51.760 Full lunatic. 0.94

01:49:52.960 If people, yeah, some people in VR are totally people that they can't be in real life. 0.79

01:49:57.500 Like, they should have said VR Amish or VR, um, Starving.

01:50:02.960 The Amish Simulator. 0.81

01:50:03.980 Yeah.

01:50:04.500 Amish Simulator would be so great. 0.97

01:50:06.160 It's such a sick game, dude. 0.93

01:50:07.420 There you going, yeah.

01:50:08.680 Dude, you have to actually learn Pennsylvania Dutch to play the game.

01:50:14.420 Already a thing, dude.

01:50:15.980 Amish Simulator?

01:50:17.300 Yeah, get in there.

01:50:18.240 See if there's any, uh, a lot of times they have fresh eggs.

01:50:20.880 An hour and 40 minutes, dude?

01:50:23.160 Yeah.

01:50:24.260 Bro, you think you can be Amish in, what, 15 minutes? 1.00

01:50:27.160 That's true.

01:50:27.560 You're out of your line, Luke.

01:50:28.700 Here it is, dude.

01:50:30.980 God, if I'm-

01:50:31.720 You are lying to me, dude.

01:50:33.600 No, this is fully integrated Amish.

01:50:36.080 Dude, yeah, if I meet one more guy who wants to be Amish quickly, I'm going to- 1.00

01:50:39.700 It's just not fair.

01:50:40.860 You got to work for it, dog.

01:50:42.660 You know what I mean?

01:50:43.460 Oh, that's awesome, man.

01:50:44.620 And this is Amish Simulator.

01:50:47.780 Yep.

01:50:48.340 Activated winner.

01:50:50.760 But the thing about being Amish, dude, imagine, bro, you get to sneak off all the time and 1.00

01:50:55.360 try to, like, meet a chick or something.

01:50:57.760 Because you can't date, I don't think, until you're 30 or what?

01:51:00.460 What's the age?

01:51:01.080 30?

01:51:01.920 No way.

01:51:03.220 They have severe dating issues.

01:51:05.060 Yeah.

01:51:05.760 You can't date until you're 30?

01:51:08.520 How do they have-

01:51:09.140 No, dude, that can't be right, because they have a bunch of kids.

01:51:11.520 16.

01:51:12.300 Yeah, never mind.

01:51:12.960 I was like, 30, dude.

01:51:14.920 Wow.

01:51:15.440 That is like, how did they survive this long, dude?

01:51:19.300 I don't know, man.

01:51:20.420 That's crazy, dude.

01:51:21.820 What is this?

01:51:22.420 Oh, is this me in the VR thing?

01:51:24.460 Oh, no.

01:51:25.120 Is it a picture?

01:51:25.780 This is the elevator thing.

01:51:28.740 Is it a VR thing?

01:51:29.560 Oh, dude, what?

01:51:31.620 VR people always look.

01:51:35.000 They always stand like they're completely naked.

01:51:37.420 It just, I do look very tense.

01:51:44.380 Yeah, you look like you're going to get, I feel like they always think you're about to

01:51:47.380 get busted for a crime or something, too.

01:51:49.460 Oh, my God.

01:51:49.980 That just scrolled 8 million.

01:51:51.720 Like, I just turned it, and it just scrolled like 8 billion pictures of your phone, dude.

01:51:55.880 Yeah, there's a lot of alarming stuff on people's phones.

01:51:58.900 This says, dating among the Amish typically begins around age 16, with most Amish couples

01:52:02.240 marrying between the ages of 20 and 22.

01:52:05.340 To find a prospective date, the young adults socialize at functions such as frolics.

01:52:09.840 Dude.

01:52:10.380 I'm in.

01:52:10.900 That's going with smorgasbord, dude.

01:52:12.520 I'm in.

01:52:13.020 Frolics?

01:52:13.780 Church or home visits, bro.

01:52:15.560 That would be me, dude.

01:52:17.160 Home visits.

01:52:17.960 Door to door, where's the chicks, bro? 1.00

01:52:20.620 One of the most popular activities is the Sunday night singing, dude.

01:52:24.440 That would be you.

01:52:25.520 I'd be killing it at Sunday night singing. 0.94

01:52:26.860 They would, dude, they. 0.75

01:52:28.540 Oh, my gosh.

01:52:29.520 Sunday night singing?

01:52:30.680 They would get out the churn and get you out there.

01:52:33.740 Dude.

01:52:35.080 Milkmaids.

01:52:35.780 The final churn.

01:52:37.000 That would be your band name.

01:52:37.980 The final churn, dude.

01:52:40.600 Heaven's churn.

01:52:41.900 Yeah.

01:52:42.600 Yeah.

01:52:43.500 Yeah.

01:52:44.380 Heaven's churn.

01:52:44.960 This is a wonderful.

01:52:46.180 What does it say right here?

01:52:47.520 Amish 365.

01:52:48.960 Sunday evening singing with the Amish.

01:52:50.640 The buggies were lined up for an Amish singing in Bell Center, Ohio.

01:52:53.940 We happened to be camping, and we're out enjoying an evening drive.

01:52:57.320 All of a sudden, we started seeing buggies coming from all directions, and we saw them

01:53:00.440 all pulling into a lane there.

01:53:02.120 They sure looked handsome.

01:53:04.100 A lot of men in their Sunday best.

01:53:05.500 They sure looked handsome.

01:53:09.100 What an interesting blog here, dude.

01:53:11.240 They are a state of Amish youth culture Sunday evening singings.

01:53:14.380 This is often where teenagers meet their future mates, make friends, and just have

01:53:17.620 some good, clean fun.

01:53:19.720 Food is served.

01:53:20.840 Pizza.

01:53:21.120 Future mates is, like, gross. 0.67

01:53:23.520 Yeah. 0.93

01:53:24.360 Sounds very, like, primal, you know?

01:53:26.640 Yeah.

01:53:27.100 Future mates.

01:53:27.760 What did you say, like, spouse or, like...

01:53:29.880 But I remember, dude, when I was growing up, we grew up in a pretty small town, so it

01:53:33.160 was like, you knew you were probably going to have to marry somebody in town.

01:53:37.640 Somebody in the...

01:53:38.560 And they would even tell us that in school, I remember, when we were in, like, second

01:53:41.260 grade.

01:53:41.780 You're probably going to marry somebody in here.

01:53:43.340 Yeah.

01:53:43.480 They would, like, look around the classroom.

01:53:45.180 There's one other classroom with kids in it.

01:53:46.780 You can look at some of them, but you guys are...

01:53:48.960 This is kind of the talent pool.

01:53:50.400 This is it, guys.

01:53:51.340 Cool, you know?

01:53:51.900 Yeah.

01:53:52.080 It's kind of everything we got going.

01:53:53.340 And you were like, this is bad.

01:53:56.220 This is definitely...

01:53:57.220 This is tough, dude.

01:53:58.620 I got to get out of here, dude.

01:54:00.020 You know?

01:54:00.080 This is pretty limited.

01:54:01.260 Oh.

01:54:04.060 Do you manage your tours differently as time goes on, where you're like, okay, I want

01:54:07.860 to do just certain cities and just...

01:54:10.340 Or do you choose that, or how do you guys put that together?

01:54:12.580 Yeah.

01:54:12.840 I think, you know, we've had...

01:54:14.120 We've always had a long strategy on how do we, you know, how do we maximize this or

01:54:19.080 that?

01:54:19.480 You know, we have certain goals.

01:54:21.180 You know, playing overseas was always a big goal for us.

01:54:23.500 Like, playing overseas consistently to the point where we feel like we had really fostered

01:54:29.780 a fan base that could almost be self-sustaining in the sense of, like, you know, you could

01:54:36.420 go tour.

01:54:37.100 One year, you could just go tour in Europe and then never plenty shows in the States.

01:54:41.340 You know?

01:54:41.920 Like, so as to not burn every market, right?

01:54:45.320 Right.

01:54:45.680 Like, if you go see me, you know, if I play every summer in, you know, Tallahassee, well,

01:54:52.860 it's like, if that happens five or six years in a row, like, eventually, everybody in that

01:54:57.200 market's going to be like, well, I've seen that, dude.

01:54:59.240 Yeah.

01:54:59.420 So the idea is if I play, I don't know why I picked Tallahassee as such a random city.

01:55:04.700 Yeah, I haven't been there.

01:55:05.260 I don't even know if we've ever even played there before.

01:55:06.820 I haven't been there, I don't think.

01:55:07.500 But if, like, if you pick that city and we played there, let's say I played there in

01:55:11.020 2018, right?

01:55:14.520 And then let's say, obviously, that's a weird year because COVID happens or whatever, but

01:55:19.140 But it's okay.

01:55:19.980 It's still a year.

01:55:20.720 Yeah, let's say I play there in 2021.

01:55:22.740 And then the next time I'm going to play there is not till 2024.

01:55:26.580 So in those three years, so much will have happened in my career.

01:55:31.100 Where I could have maybe two new albums, a bunch more hit songs, and those people in

01:55:37.700 that market, they'll have only had the opportunity to see me the time before.

01:55:42.520 Right.

01:55:42.680 So they'll go, well, now I want to hear this song and this song and this song.

01:55:45.800 And, like, he never comes down here, so I want to go.

01:55:48.620 Like, I just want to be able to tour at a high level for a long time.

01:55:54.100 And I think to do that, you have to have a really long play strategy.

01:55:57.500 It can't be about, well, how can I make the most money this show this weekend and charge

01:56:02.540 my fans the most for tickets and do the most and sell VIP things?

01:56:06.120 Like, I've never sold a meet and greet in my life.

01:56:08.260 Yeah.

01:56:08.520 Like, that's a big point of revenue for a lot of artists is, and nothing against anybody

01:56:14.100 that does that, by the way.

01:56:14.900 I just always felt weird about it.

01:56:16.860 The first meet and greets I ever did were $50, and we donated all the money to a camp

01:56:21.500 in Georgia for children that have cancer.

01:56:23.480 Oh, yeah?

01:56:23.940 Ever since then, we've never even charged for a meet and greet.

01:56:26.580 All you have to do is join the fan club and have tickets to the show, and you're entered

01:56:31.160 into a lottery to win. 0.99

01:56:32.420 Oh, damn. 0.99

01:56:32.940 That's a good way to do it. 0.99

01:56:34.020 Yeah, like, so you join the fan club, and then you just put in for whatever show you're

01:56:38.820 going to, and it's completely free.

01:56:40.780 Oh, that's cool.

01:56:41.620 I come in the room, like, do a Q&A thing, take pictures with everybody, like, and I just

01:56:47.500 feel like there's so much to already, like, pay for.

01:56:50.740 Yeah.

01:56:51.380 There's so, like, there's T-shirts, there's beer, there's food, there's parking, there's

01:56:55.800 hotels, there's babysitters, there's tickets, there's everything, dude.

01:56:59.440 You're charged at every turn.

01:57:01.080 Yeah.

01:57:01.360 And the whole experience, and, like, I just want to meet people who came to the show,

01:57:06.260 man, like, whether it's their first show or their 15th show or whatever it is, man,

01:57:10.680 like, it's just a way for me to, like, I just want to say thank you to just regular

01:57:14.920 folks who come to my show, man, like, because they are the only reason that we have shows.

01:57:19.420 Yeah.

01:57:19.680 Like, oh, it's crazy to think that you can't figure out a way to thank them all the time.

01:57:23.580 It feels like you can never thank them enough.

01:57:25.180 Enough, dude.

01:57:25.720 And then, like, it really is, like, I think about it all the time, it's like, you know,

01:57:30.360 sometimes I feel like the fan is the last person thought about it in the music business.

01:57:34.340 Wow.

01:57:34.720 Like, and that to me is really sad.

01:57:37.040 Well, they just started, they're finally bringing sanctions against Live Nation, I think.

01:57:42.580 Can you look that up?

01:57:43.600 I saw something about this recently, I think.

01:57:45.500 They're finally bringing sanctions against them or Ticketmaster, one of them.

01:57:49.160 Yeah, I saw something about this on the news, like, two, three years ago, but I don't know

01:57:51.900 enough about it.

01:57:53.020 But there's definitely, you're definitely right.

01:57:55.080 Hila definitely just saw something about that.

01:57:56.900 Yeah, the Justice Department is suing Ticketmaster on Live Nation.

01:57:59.360 What does that mean for concert goers?

01:58:02.560 Is it for, like, the fees or something, I think?

01:58:06.120 The Justice Department on Thursday accused Live Nation of engaging in a slew of practices

01:58:09.700 that have allowed it to maintain a stronghold over the live music scene.

01:58:12.340 They accused it of using long-term contracts to keep venues from choosing rival ticketers,

01:58:16.100 blocking venues from using multiple ticket sellers, and threatening venues that they

01:58:20.840 could lose money and fans if they didn't choose Ticketmaster.

01:58:25.580 Which, in the end, they can jack up the prices of tickets in.

01:58:29.460 So they own 70% of ticketing.

01:58:32.400 That's wild.

01:58:33.040 That's unbelievable.

01:58:34.260 That's a lot, dude.

01:58:35.220 How do you ever let that happen?

01:58:36.740 It just seems like they wouldn't let that happen.

01:58:40.820 Did you ever go see Widespread Panic?

01:58:43.580 Never did, man.

01:58:44.500 So my best friend, Harp, the guy that jumped off the end, that's his, like, favorite band

01:58:48.540 ever.

01:58:49.120 Oh, yeah.

01:58:49.700 Yeah.

01:58:50.140 He loves them, dude.

01:58:51.000 But I've never been, I've never seen them.

01:58:52.720 I like them.

01:58:53.520 Dude, they jam, though.

01:58:55.600 They jam, for sure.

01:58:57.340 Did you follow a jam band ever?

01:58:59.080 No, I never followed a jam band around. 0.99

01:59:01.620 Damn, dude, really? 0.99

01:59:02.360 Never followed around the country. 1.00

01:59:03.740 God damn, you're fucking lazy. 1.00

01:59:05.020 I haven't lived, man. 1.00

01:59:06.040 I haven't lived, dude.

01:59:06.880 Yeah, it just seemed like you were being so lazy back then.

01:59:09.300 I was, man.

01:59:10.240 Didn't you want to make grilled cheeses and own a German Shepherd? 1.00

01:59:13.440 I wanted to sell seashell earrings out of my van, dude.

01:59:16.580 You know what I mean?

01:59:17.420 Dude, one time this dude was selling grilled cheeses and the dog looked like it wanted out

01:59:22.660 of there.

01:59:23.600 It was like, yeah, it lives in a, it probably never gets any grilled cheese, by the way.

01:59:28.400 Oh, it was, yeah.

01:59:29.980 The dog, I think, was running on a little treadmill, even just powering the grilled cheese maker.

01:59:33.440 They're like, sometimes those van guys in those outside of concerts are pretty wild.

01:59:38.420 They got it figured out.

01:59:39.220 Is there like a big tailgate?

01:59:40.980 Do some artists have like a big tailgate thing that that's part of their culture?

01:59:44.240 Yeah, for sure.

01:59:45.560 You know, we do, gosh, we do a big tailgate on, like, this weekend we have, or this year,

01:59:52.220 we have Friday and Saturday shows at all the same cities.

01:59:55.260 So, on Saturday we have, you've heard of Whiskey Jam, I'm sure.

01:59:58.940 Oh, yeah, it's fun.

01:59:59.660 So, Ward and the Whiskey Jam folks come out and they bring up and coming artists out.

02:00:04.480 We have a stage outside the stadium and all that's free.

02:00:08.340 Oh, wow.

02:00:08.860 So, I mean, you don't really don't even have to have a ticket to the show to come to that

02:00:12.600 if you don't want to.

02:00:13.380 So, on Saturdays, man, like, we really try to, we've worked hard to, like, build, to,

02:00:18.220 like, foster the culture of our shows and how we want that experience to be for our fans.

02:00:24.360 Like, I mean, the whole weekend, like, they get discounts at certain hotels if they're

02:00:29.580 in my fan club.

02:00:30.340 And, like, we work with all these different people to make them have, yeah, like, to make

02:00:35.520 them have the best experience that we can have, you know.

02:00:38.400 And so, yeah, the tailgating thing, dude, I mean, obviously, the Chesney tailgate culture

02:00:43.000 is unbelievable.

02:00:44.080 Yeah.

02:00:44.940 As was, like, the Buffett stuff, you know.

02:00:48.460 We went out, you know, but I think country has such a great, just in general, kind of

02:00:53.800 tailgating vibe.

02:00:54.460 Oh, for sure.

02:00:54.880 Because I think a lot of those fans, like, I think of, like, the college football fan

02:00:59.860 base, to me, like, there's so much, there's so much correlation in the country music fan

02:01:06.760 base to that.

02:01:07.840 Yeah, it's so much fun.

02:01:08.180 And that culture is so similar.

02:01:09.860 It's just fun, right?

02:01:10.780 Like, that's what it should be.

02:01:11.600 I think people want to have fun.

02:01:13.060 Yeah.

02:01:13.120 Yeah, for sure, man.

02:01:14.880 It's like, the night we were in Miami, I was with Caleb, actually, who your buddy's

02:01:17.840 with.

02:01:17.980 Love him.

02:01:18.640 Yep.

02:01:19.020 And we were going to some club, but then we had more fun in the car on the way there,

02:01:24.660 just listening to country music.

02:01:26.000 Yeah. 0.98

02:01:26.460 And then we got to the club, and we're like, this sucks.

02:01:29.440 Yeah, you're like, dude, I can't imagine. 0.99

02:01:32.440 So, that's just trash, dude. 0.92

02:01:34.480 I love Caleb, dude. 0.99

02:01:35.600 He's a trick.

02:01:35.940 Oh, he's something else.

02:01:36.600 He said he used to manage you, too, did he?

02:01:38.120 I don't think, I wouldn't say that, probably.

02:01:40.500 No?

02:01:40.880 No, definitely not.

02:01:43.000 He seems like somebody who would be lying about that.

02:01:45.500 Probably.

02:01:46.060 He could be.

02:01:46.820 Could be known, yeah.

02:01:49.220 Yeah.

02:01:49.660 He's a special guy, man.

02:01:51.300 He's one of a kind.

02:01:52.920 Dude, we were buddies back in the day, man.

02:01:55.560 Like, he was, I think I was a senior, and he was a freshman, I think.

02:01:59.860 But he was like.

02:02:00.740 And what was he, like the Rapunzel of the team?

02:02:02.820 Cousin, wasn't he like.

02:02:03.560 Well, he was like the guy, like, if eight quarterbacks got hurt.

02:02:06.840 Right.

02:02:07.620 Like, as a freshman, he would, like, come in.

02:02:09.820 Then he would get a notification on his phone.

02:02:11.360 And then he could show up to the game, kind of thing.

02:02:13.680 Right, yeah.

02:02:14.440 He got a free ticket to the game.

02:02:16.180 But we, dude, but I rode the pine hard, and obviously he wasn't playing because, you

02:02:20.760 know, he was a freshman or whatever, so.

02:02:22.640 And because, yeah, he wasn't ever gonna.

02:02:24.860 But did you, um, did, were you any good at football? 0.97

02:02:28.960 No, I was trash. 0.97

02:02:30.420 Really? 0.99

02:02:30.760 Oh, yeah, it was terrible.

02:02:31.840 God.

02:02:32.280 I just didn't apply to myself, man.

02:02:33.440 I feel like I could have been good.

02:02:35.040 But, dude, I was too busy singing all the time, dude.

02:02:38.120 I mean, I was in choir every day of high school for, I mean, every day of public school

02:02:42.580 from sixth grade to when I graduated, I was in chorus class every day.

02:02:45.880 And did you ever, uh, integrate or try and date women that were on the flag team?

02:02:52.080 We didn't have that.

02:02:53.440 No way.

02:02:53.940 No flag team.

02:02:54.440 Yeah.

02:02:55.000 How do you not even have a flag team?

02:02:56.520 Wouldn't y'all have, like, a local military or anything?

02:02:59.100 You mean, like, ROTC?

02:03:00.560 Yeah, yeah.

02:03:01.140 Oh, you mean, like, yeah.

02:03:02.420 I thought you meant, like.

02:03:03.300 Oh, yeah, we had flag team.

02:03:04.560 Usually there was a lot of crossover in that.

02:03:06.060 You think?

02:03:06.600 Oh, a lot of ROTC.

02:03:07.560 So, a lot of ROTC.

02:03:09.200 Men are the children of flag team women. 0.99

02:03:12.620 That, that can't be real, dude.

02:03:15.380 That can't be a real stat.

02:03:17.560 I hope that's a real stat.

02:03:19.020 Bro, you're telling me.

02:03:20.820 You're honestly going to tell me, Luke, that a lot of ROTC men aren't the children of.

02:03:28.160 It's possible, I think.

02:03:30.080 Of flag team women.

02:03:32.540 Flag team relationships.

02:03:34.060 Yeah, yeah, flag team relationships.

02:03:35.280 Okay, okay.

02:03:36.680 Yeah, I think there's a possibility that there could be some correlation there, you know?

02:03:41.040 I think there is.

02:03:42.300 There is a high probability.

02:03:43.880 Yeah, high probability.

02:03:45.280 The new album, it comes out.

02:03:50.560 Friday before Father's Day.

02:03:52.020 Friday before Father's Day.

02:03:53.460 Yep, yep, yep.

02:03:55.660 Fathers and Sons?

02:03:56.740 Yeah, Fathers and Sons, yep.

02:03:58.740 Should be good, man.

02:03:59.380 I'm excited.

02:03:59.880 I hope people enjoy it, you know, for what it is, you know?

02:04:03.300 Well, it's important, too, for people to take time, if you can, to reflect on those relationships.

02:04:06.980 It's hard sometimes.

02:04:07.840 Sometimes you get so busy, you don't even think about what somebody means to you.

02:04:10.240 Sure, sure, man.

02:04:12.020 It's important stuff, man, and I think, you know, there's so many different paths that

02:04:17.140 people have had growing up with their dads, or their moms, even, you know what I mean?

02:04:21.180 Yeah.

02:04:21.800 I think there's something in these songs that, you know, can translate to anybody, you know?

02:04:26.280 It just happens to be Fathers and Sons for me, because, you know, I got two boys, and,

02:04:30.780 you know, maybe that changes one day, and there'll be mothers and fathers.

02:04:35.800 Yeah, you never know.

02:04:36.740 I don't count anything out.

02:04:39.760 I don't know where it could lead, but...

02:04:40.880 You could be a woman. 1.00

02:04:41.940 The songs mean a lot to me, and I think, you know, I hope that people can relate to

02:04:47.400 them and listen to them and love them as much as I do, for sure.

02:04:51.840 Yeah.

02:04:52.300 It's important to have anthems that go along with how we feel sometimes.

02:04:55.520 Yeah, no doubt.

02:04:57.620 That's about it, Luke.

02:04:58.640 Yeah.

02:04:59.060 Thanks for having me, dude.

02:04:59.360 I thought you had a nice chat, man.

02:05:00.460 Oh, absolutely.

02:05:01.720 Yeah.

02:05:01.980 Thanks for coming in, bro.

02:05:02.940 Yeah, absolutely, man.

02:05:04.020 Before you go, do artists start thinking more about collaborations now these days?

02:05:07.380 Does that seem like something that goes through phases where it seems more fun or more accepted

02:05:11.180 or more...

02:05:11.980 I think there's definitely phases to it.

02:05:13.640 You know, I think there's a lot of...

02:05:15.320 I think I've noticed that a lot of brands are doing collaborations now, too, like, I don't

02:05:21.360 know, like the McDonald's and Long John Silver's, the McFish. 0.71

02:05:24.920 Oh, yeah.

02:05:25.420 You know what I mean?

02:05:25.900 The McFish Silver, dude, you know?

02:05:27.420 Oh, yeah.

02:05:27.880 There's always...

02:05:28.520 Yeah, but it's like Crocs and, you know, Jacquard Noir cologne, you know?

02:05:34.340 It's like a scratch and sniff Jacquard Noir croc or something.

02:05:37.840 You know what I mean?

02:05:38.620 It's like something like that, you know?

02:05:40.820 Yeah, smell like that.

02:05:41.280 Available only at Walgreens or something, you know what I mean?

02:05:43.880 It's like...

02:05:44.300 Sniff this croc or whatever.

02:05:45.800 Like, they...

02:05:46.400 I have, for sure, a pair of KFC-branded Crocs that smell like KFC chicken.

02:05:53.960 Ooh.

02:05:54.640 That's a real thing.

02:05:55.640 I have that in my home.

02:05:56.780 God, you don't get a lot of shots to have those.

02:05:59.400 But I have...

02:06:00.060 They're rare, dude.

02:06:01.340 Hit StockX, dude.

02:06:02.860 Get you a pair, dude.

02:06:07.180 Yeah, you're right.

02:06:07.520 I tell funny, all my Crocs are just clabs that smell like sweat.

02:06:10.920 I'm sorry.

02:08:36.140 Yeah, dude.

02:08:37.180 Gosh.

02:08:37.640 Oh, man.

02:08:38.120 The eyes are scary looking.

02:08:39.880 Play dead.

02:08:40.820 Play dad, it says as well.

02:08:42.480 That's a Father's Day gift right there.

02:08:44.340 Play dad, dude.

02:08:46.320 Play dad.

02:08:47.580 And they got to have one other good item on here.

02:08:50.260 We had a guy that sold a German Shepherd fur coat by us.

02:08:55.440 Kyozie.

02:08:57.180 That Kyozie and that's Coyote maybe? 1.00

02:09:01.140 Yep.

02:09:01.660 Kyozie was a Coyote koozie. 0.96

02:09:04.520 That squoozie.

02:09:05.440 Let me see that squoozie, bro.

02:09:07.640 The skoonzie. 0.97

02:09:09.480 Oh, yeah.

02:09:10.200 That's beautiful.

02:09:11.300 A skunk.

02:09:12.360 What's with the eyes, though, dude?

02:09:14.020 The eyes are freaking me out, dude.

02:09:16.360 Yeah, you might be able to buy little shades for them.

02:09:19.480 But these are almost $65.

02:09:22.060 They can have a variety of sizes, such as tall boy, slim, and standard.

02:09:25.940 Yeah.

02:09:26.860 I love the Happy St. Patrick's Day.

02:09:29.460 The themed out.

02:09:31.100 What are we doing, dude?

02:09:33.640 Why is there a Happy St. Patrick's Day? 1.00

02:09:37.400 Fucking skunk. 1.00

02:09:38.820 God, that just shows what they think of the Irish right there. 1.00

02:09:46.460 That's the worst part.

02:09:47.880 Are the tall boy ones more expensive than the other ones?

02:09:51.080 No.

02:09:51.560 Actually, the skoonzie is, that one's almost $65.

02:09:55.440 The squallet was only $54.

02:09:57.700 Squallet's $54.

02:09:59.880 Squallet.

02:10:00.440 But, yeah, we had a dude selling a German Shepherd fur coat by us when I was young, I remember.

02:10:06.480 It seems, this whole deal seems.

02:10:07.820 He only had one.

02:10:08.500 He might have had two.

02:10:09.560 Seems like there's probably a lot of regulations to this business here.

02:10:13.400 Oh, yeah.

02:10:13.980 Like, just be selling, like, just kind of random animal pelts to people.

02:10:19.620 I mean, look at that.

02:10:20.200 You know what I mean?

02:10:20.820 Like, are these farm-raised?

02:10:23.780 Are we wild-caught here?

02:10:25.220 This is farm-to-table, buddy.

02:10:27.680 This is street-to-table, dude.

02:10:31.360 You know what I mean?

02:10:32.580 Hey, go to my TikToks real quick.

02:10:34.160 I want to see one that I looked at.

02:10:36.080 You see this?

02:10:36.680 It's been my dream for, like, nine years.

02:10:38.660 I had a big van.

02:10:39.540 I used a couple of white kids made a... 0.98

02:10:41.800 Bought it for $100.

02:10:43.200 Took it to Minnesota on that.

02:10:44.560 Didn't make a sauna.

02:10:45.520 Just scrapped it instead, so...

02:10:48.340 Limousine sauna.

02:10:49.320 I bought another limousine, so I had two.

02:10:50.840 I figured I'd turn one to a sauna.

02:10:53.700 Sauna.

02:10:54.760 Use all my scraps from a few sauna jobs I did.

02:10:57.060 And the chimney came out the top of the stove.

02:10:59.900 Chimney?

02:11:01.260 Bro, this?

02:11:02.520 Bro, that is on fire.

02:11:04.920 On fire.

02:11:05.900 Believe it.

02:11:06.660 On the outside.

02:11:07.680 Do an outside mouth.

02:11:09.160 Why do they have Werner's ginger ales on top, dude?

02:11:13.260 And how are these men just meeting each other in the snow?

02:11:15.920 And then they're just getting in the snow?

02:11:18.720 See, this is why I don't meet men online.

02:11:21.140 That's America, dude, right there, man.

02:11:22.800 That is.

02:11:24.960 Okay, what state are we going with here, dude?

02:11:27.400 What's our state, guys?

02:11:28.420 Oh, this?

02:11:29.080 Well, you have to have snow.

02:11:30.260 I'm going to say, uh...

02:11:33.020 Sauna, I feel like...

02:11:34.100 Oh, there's a license plate.

02:11:35.200 What was that license plate?

02:11:35.880 I'm going to say Canada, probably.

02:11:37.920 Southern Canada, Northern America.

02:11:40.320 Saunazine, dude.

02:11:41.600 Trademark.

02:11:42.100 I love how you put the trademark on there.

02:11:44.000 Yeah, dude.

02:11:44.160 Like, someone's going to be like,

02:11:45.200 man, I've got to get that Saunazine.

02:11:46.800 I've got to steal that idea, dude.

02:11:48.060 I think that said New Hampshire.

02:11:49.280 New Hampshire.

02:11:50.180 There we go.

02:11:50.700 Oh, yeah.

02:11:51.720 Saunazine, dude.

02:11:53.040 But the wood looks extreme.

02:11:54.940 The fumes from that wood could easily kill all four or five of those men.

02:11:58.000 For you guys that can't see at home,

02:11:59.180 there's a lot of men getting into a...

02:12:00.720 A sauna has been created inside of a limousine.

02:12:04.240 And, uh...

02:12:05.540 That's definitely just smoke in there, dude.

02:12:08.320 I feel like.

02:12:08.660 And it is full of hot smoke.

02:12:11.620 And why is there ginger ales on top, dude?

02:12:13.820 That's the real question.

02:12:14.900 That's just a...

02:12:16.360 That's a beverage bar, dude.

02:12:18.360 You've got to chill.

02:12:19.860 You have to have a ginger on. 0.96

02:12:21.920 That's open bar.

02:12:23.760 Open bar on the Saunazine.

02:12:25.940 That's open bar, Luke.

02:12:27.880 Luke Combs, congrats on the new album, man.

02:12:35.140 Thank you, buddy.

02:12:35.980 And thanks for hanging out with us today.

02:12:37.580 Yes, sir.

02:12:37.940 Now I'm just floating on the breeze

02:12:40.780 And I feel I'm falling like these leaves I must be

02:12:44.720 Cornerstone

02:12:47.060 Oh, but when I reach that ground

02:12:51.640 I'll share this peace of mind I found

02:12:54.460 I can feel it in my bones

02:12:57.940 But it's gonna take...
