Speaker 3 (03:38):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You you rolled into New York City at six o'clock

Speaker 1 (03:42):

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Jenkinson's You'll get You saved me twice this week.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Now, you know what, You've been doing this for a while.
This is not an overnight thing for you. But at
the same time, you've gone from zero no, no, You've
gone from eighty to one hundred in the past couple
of three or four months, where your schedule has filled
up and you're not saying no to anything.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, no, We're in the we're in the say yes
portion of the career. We're all in on everything.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But who passes up to Elvis Durant show in fleek
week baby?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Who misses that?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Thank you for being here and pastries included?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
But you know what we love that you have in
common with people who are serving in the military. It's
a lot of people go into the military for many
different reasons, and one of the reasons sometimes you find
out is they're looking for a different level and meaning
in life. Right there's there's got to be more than
my everyday life. And so they joint friends I know
(04:51):
in the military have joined the military and they have
discovered that there is so much more to the world
and to meaning being satisfied with the day's work and
music has been this same evidue for you, has it not?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think I think that what I share with them
specifically is that if you want to be a person
of a person of purpose, you got to be a
person of service and for me, that's music.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
So music for me is my way of service, right,
It's my way of connecting. It's music is healing from me.
Music is therapy for me. Music and this is not
me writing music. This is what music did for me.
Before I knew I could write a song, music helped
me so much. I was like, man, I want to
help people the way it's helped me.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And you listen to Jilly Roll's body of work, I mean,
you got some hip hop in there, you got some
country in there, and I'm just wondering how you've been
influenced by those and other genres of music because you're
not straight down the line country at all.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I was the youngest the four, and I don't know
if y'all know what that means, but I never controlled
the radio, Okay, I was never in charge. I didn't
have a vote in the house for anything, you know
what I'm saying. And I had a brother that listened
to rap, a sister that listened to rock, a mother
that listened to law country, a daddy that listened to
nothing but James Taylor and Jim Crochey, Bob Dylan and
this kind of more of so every car I got
(06:06):
and I just had to shut up and listen.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
And because of that, I became a little human jukebox.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's incredible. By the way, just turning us on, Jelly
Roller is here. And here's something I want you to know.
If you're in New York City and I know you
may be listening to us in Singapore or Oregon or wherever,
a bonus for you. If you're on the West side
of Manhattan. After we're done talking to jelly Roll here,
we're gonna go up to another another deck.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes, and you're actually gonna you're gonna do a couple
of songs.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh absolutely, really right, So.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
For everyone who's here, you're automatically coming to the jell
the Jelly Roll concert right itself. But if you're on
the West side of Manhattan and you want to come
to the Intrepid, you know where it is to say, hey,
Elvis invited me down. I'm going let me in to
see jelly Roll. That's gonna happen at nine thirty. That's
gonna bean just a few minutes. Yeah, come on down,
So listen.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That was my thing.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They said, Hey, you know you're gonna do the Elvis
Durant show. It's gonna be for for week. It's gonna
be in the Intrepid, and they're gonna have active military there.
I said, well, if we're gonna be there in front
of our active military, can we not play for him?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You gotta be av.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I don't want to be here and not sing songs
for him, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I didn't come all this way just to talk. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
A single songs by the way, all men and women
in uniform. That's the only reason you. We invited you
so he would see for us too. I kid you,
I kid you. So that's that's coming in sup here
on the west side. Come over to the Intrepid. But
by nine thirty, that's gonna be in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You can do it. Let's talk to role.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Yes, okay, So if you cannot see him because you're
listening to the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He is a lovely human with face tattoos.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Which came first the music career or the face tattoos,
because I feel like you really got to commit when.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
They were kind of probably the face tattoos, I was
probably I was so my my tattoos have an illustrious
story talking about it. We started when I was like fourteen.
The first time I got incarcerated, I got a picking
poke tattoo, and from then on I didn't get a
professional tattoo until I was in.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
My mid twenty.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Wait, wait, what's a pick and pope?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, it's just the idea of I just take a
needle and pop pop pope.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Can you show on Daniel's arm?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I've got a picture.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I've got a picture of Jesus hanging on the cross
on my back, and it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The first time my wife's seen it, she thought it
was Elvis. I'm not she it was so bad.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
She said, is that Elvis on a cross? And I
was like, that is Jesus? And then I thought about it.
I was like, well, close, Danielle talk to Jelly roll.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
So I noticed you just taught your daughter how to drive.
So my son, well, my oldest is seventeen. My husband
taught him how to drive because he said, there's no
way in hell you're teaching him how to drive. What
is it like? I mean, how watching your kid grow
up knowing that soon they'll leave the nest, Soon they'll
be on their own. I'm going through so many emotions
right now, I can't imagine you're doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So I've been home like one day in the last
thirty or forty. Yeah, And I flew in just to
just to hang out with her for an afternoon. And
I went to go meet her and her girlfriend for lunch,
and I sat across the street like a weirdo because
her friend had just turned sixteen and got her license,
so they were out running errands.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Just those two that day.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So I wanted to see how in the parking lot
and wanted to watch the whole scenario, you know, And
it was the most unreal thing. The coolest thing is
is watching her become her own because a quote that
changed my whole life about parenting was kids don't come
from us, they come through us. So it's like watching
quit looking for the traits of me and her and
watching her grow her own traits has been the coolest thing,
(09:28):
but equally scary because she's she's exactly where I was
when I was fifteen. She's going to church every Sunday.
And I also caught her recently smoking pie, so.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She's kind of She's a healthy fifteen l good Balu A.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, and Froggy could not wait to hop on a
plane and come up to join us because you knowing
you were going to be on the show today.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
No, it's great. Your story is is really complex, and
the fact that you've got a documentary coming out about you,
another trailer release this week. Your daughter changed your life completely.
Talk about that.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, we always say that I didn't we didn't get
custody of her.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
She got custody in me. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I was incarcerated when Bailey was born and I learned
that I had a daughter sitting in a jail cell,
and it was I still get emotional talking about it
was the most life changing day of my entire life. Froggy,
I couldn't. I couldn't describe. I mean, it was a
Damascus Road experience for me. And I knew right then
that nothing mattered but being a father, and I knew
(10:24):
I loved music. So I came straight home and started
selling mixtapes out of the trunk, started selling T shirts
in front of the local bars. You know, I just
started doing everything I could. I built a YouTube channel,
and that was almost fourteen and a half years ago,
thirteen years ago, and she's fifteen now, me and my
wife have full custody. Ever, she's my absolute best friend.
She'll be here with me next week, running through the
(10:45):
streets of New York all week. She actually finished her
freshman year yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So she said, it's official. The kid has made it
to the tenth grade. Another milestone reach.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
She has actually already been through more school than me. Wow,
so that's the truth. She's actually already smarter than me.
So it's a it's uh. It changed everything, man. I
went from being a really, really horrible human to being
a decently better humor, more importantly, a pretty good father.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I like hearing that. I love hearing that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
By the way, the documentary talking about will be on
Hulu in a few days. It's called Jelly Ron Save Me.
I saw the two.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Minute trailer and I'm like, Okay, gotta watch it.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It is I cried. I cried, I s not rocket
cried the first Michael Jordan Mean cried.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Kim, we close these donuts before you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Leave much longer.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I'm gonna dive into your daughter and music have changed
your life completely. Now, when you watch the documentary, you
see that you are changing other people's lives. How full Circle?
Is that for you?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know that was crazy because I didn't realize that's
the documentary we were shooting until it was over. I
wasn't sure what we were doing. It's like a news
it's a it's a news crew, so you really don't
ask no questions. I just follow you and we just
kept running too these scenarios where people were talking about
how the music had changed their life.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And this is the quick.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Story I'll tell you, Elvis, No take your time, Froggy.
I get thousands of messages a year, thousands of messages
a year that say things like your music helped me
get sober, your music helped me be present in my
daughter's life, or foul for petition to see my kid.
But the hardest one to read was the ones that
go I was sitting alone with a gun and I
thought of killing myself and I heard this song that
(12:28):
made me realize I wasn't alone. And every time I
tell us why, I get emotional because my thought is,
let's say that nine hundred and ninety nine out of
a thousand of those.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Messages are just telling what we call fish stories in
the South.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know, they're taking a two pound bass and saying
it was a twenty five pounder. But one person's telling
the God's honest truth that they really sat there and
thought about killing themselves. Man, I'll be writing music the
rest of my life for that one person. I owe
it to them, you know what I mean. And there's
no monetary value, there's no success, there's nothing that will
ever mean more than that one person. And that's the
(13:02):
power of music, right, because I know how much music
has helped me in those moments, you know what I mean,
And that's to me, what's the most important about the
message of music, right. I call it therapeutic music, real
music for real people were real problems.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I'm hearing explosions to what is going on is that's
part of I don't know if you know this or not,
but Jeller rolls performing upstairs.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
The count time.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
By the way, if you're on the West Side, you
need to be on the Intrepid in thirteen minutes. I
want to get back to something you're talking about, and
that's mental health, you know. And for some whatever dumb reason,
mental health has not been a topic of open conversation
with us until recently. I mean, this is something we've
(13:52):
all been trying to tackle and figure out our entire
lives and now, thank god, we're not sweeping it under
the rug and having conversations about it and showing vulnerability
to me is not a weakness. It's a strength to
be able to say, Hey, you know what, these are
the things I'm working on with me. How about you,
let's talk about it. Is your music a part of
your therapy?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Oh? Absolutely, man, just writing songs, but even still therapy
still for me is just not even my It's not
even just writing it. I still get in the car,
roll a doobie and hit a back road in the old,
old up and down rolling hills of Tennessee, right, and
I'll smoke me want to listen to a playlist and
I'll sort through my own stuff, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
It's like, uh, I know people.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
That work out, I obviously don't, but they put on
a head set, right and they listen to music and
that's their thing, Like that's their release. And music's always
been that for me. It's kind of one of the
reasons that I was adamant about building studios inside the
juveniles in Nashville, Tennessee, because when I was in juvenile
I wish I would have had those resources. You know
(14:54):
what I mean is that I understand the therapy power
of music. That's why we work with companies like Rock
to Recovery and go into rehabs and bring guitars and
let drug addicts tell their story or creat events.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Which I think y'all will be interested to hear.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Is there's this organization called Creative Vets that takes veterans
that came from active duty and have been deployed and
brings them home and compairs them with songwriters to help
deal with the trauma they dealt with being away from
their family and what they.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Experienced through the power of music.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So you get to come in with a guy like
me and we'll help you write your story, you know
what I mean. So it's like I'm just so I
look into every way that music can help.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Man. I mean, I'm obsessed with how music can heal.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I've never heard of that concept before. That is just
pretty wild. Yep, it just truly is. Hey, you know
what we have gifts for you? Like you brought all
these incredible donuts from Donuts to light up in Rochester.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We got stuff. What do we have for Jillry? The
USS Wasp, which is decked doct right next door dot
anybody on the USS.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Wasps because.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That is not look at that.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That is awesome, thank y'all.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wow, that's hot.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And the Intrepid wanted to give you their largest shirts.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, yes you did.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You know the Wasp has a gift store also from
the Intrepid. That is awesome too. You know what your
Your story is something. It's the story that everyone needs
to hear. That's why I encourage you to watch Jelly
Rolls Save Me on Hulu as it comes out May thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I wan to watch that.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm telling you, man, I hadn't got to see it,
but I've seen the two minute trailer, like y'all did
I mean, dude, it was.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It was emotional.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But I'll also tell you some you can't judge my
emotional barometer because I spent thirty five years and didn't
cry one time. So I've spent the last three years
not being able to stop. The last three years, I'm
just like a walking poster of just.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You had time to make up?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You know. I will say, though, man, God has blessed
me so much the last three years, Elvis, it's hard
not to cry. Man, I just even days like today,
you cup dude. I mean I woke up in Manhattan,
I got straight off the bus and just what a
just dude, I mean, this is a big deal for
a kid. Shout out to everybody back in Antioch. Man, Hey,
your boy made it paper look gay?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Hearing that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So, as you know, your buddy Froggy he does this
segment every Thursday called food News. I don't even know
how it started, but he does it. He is a
very special food news countdown just for you.

Well, so we have one called Rolling with Jelly. It's

he hires nothing but second chance guys. So it's pretty
much employed solely by guys from my neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Jenkinson's You'll get You saved me twice this week.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Now, you know what, You've been doing this for a while.
This is not an overnight thing for you. But at
the same time, you've gone from zero no, no, You've
gone from eighty to one hundred in the past couple
of three or four months, where your schedule has filled
up and you're not saying no to anything.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, no, We're in the we're in the say yes
portion of the career. We're all in on everything.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But who passes up to Elvis Durant show in fleek
week baby?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Who misses that?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Thank you for being here and pastries included?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
But you know what we love that you have in
common with people who are serving in the military. It's
a lot of people go into the military for many
different reasons, and one of the reasons sometimes you find
out is they're looking for a different level and meaning
in life. Right there's there's got to be more than
my everyday life. And so they joint friends I know
(04:51):
in the military have joined the military and they have
discovered that there is so much more to the world
and to meaning being satisfied with the day's work and
music has been this same evidue for you, has it not?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think I think that what I share with them
specifically is that if you want to be a person
of a person of purpose, you got to be a
person of service and for me, that's music.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
So music for me is my way of service, right,
It's my way of connecting. It's music is healing from me.
Music is therapy for me. Music and this is not
me writing music. This is what music did for me.
Before I knew I could write a song, music helped
me so much. I was like, man, I want to
help people the way it's helped me.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And you listen to Jilly Roll's body of work, I mean,
you got some hip hop in there, you got some
country in there, and I'm just wondering how you've been
influenced by those and other genres of music because you're
not straight down the line country at all.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I was the youngest the four, and I don't know
if y'all know what that means, but I never controlled
the radio, Okay, I was never in charge. I didn't
have a vote in the house for anything, you know
what I'm saying. And I had a brother that listened
to rap, a sister that listened to rock, a mother
that listened to law country, a daddy that listened to
nothing but James Taylor and Jim Crochey, Bob Dylan and
this kind of more of so every car I got
(06:06):
and I just had to shut up and listen.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
And because of that, I became a little human jukebox.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's incredible. By the way, just turning us on, Jelly
Roller is here. And here's something I want you to know.
If you're in New York City and I know you
may be listening to us in Singapore or Oregon or wherever,
a bonus for you. If you're on the West side
of Manhattan. After we're done talking to jelly Roll here,
we're gonna go up to another another deck.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes, and you're actually gonna you're gonna do a couple
of songs.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh absolutely, really right, So.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
For everyone who's here, you're automatically coming to the jell
the Jelly Roll concert right itself. But if you're on
the West side of Manhattan and you want to come
to the Intrepid, you know where it is to say, hey,
Elvis invited me down. I'm going let me in to
see jelly Roll. That's gonna happen at nine thirty. That's
gonna bean just a few minutes. Yeah, come on down,
So listen.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That was my thing.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They said, Hey, you know you're gonna do the Elvis
Durant show. It's gonna be for for week. It's gonna
be in the Intrepid, and they're gonna have active military there.
I said, well, if we're gonna be there in front
of our active military, can we not play for him?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You gotta be av.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I don't want to be here and not sing songs
for him, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I didn't come all this way just to talk. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
A single songs by the way, all men and women
in uniform. That's the only reason you. We invited you
so he would see for us too. I kid you,
I kid you. So that's that's coming in sup here
on the west side. Come over to the Intrepid. But
by nine thirty, that's gonna be in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You can do it. Let's talk to role.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Yes, okay, So if you cannot see him because you're
listening to the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He is a lovely human with face tattoos.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Which came first the music career or the face tattoos,
because I feel like you really got to commit when.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
They were kind of probably the face tattoos, I was
probably I was so my my tattoos have an illustrious
story talking about it. We started when I was like fourteen.
The first time I got incarcerated, I got a picking
poke tattoo, and from then on I didn't get a
professional tattoo until I was in.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
My mid twenty.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Wait, wait, what's a pick and pope?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, it's just the idea of I just take a
needle and pop pop pope.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Can you show on Daniel's arm?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I've got a picture.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I've got a picture of Jesus hanging on the cross
on my back, and it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
The first time my wife's seen it, she thought it
was Elvis. I'm not she it was so bad.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
She said, is that Elvis on a cross? And I
was like, that is Jesus? And then I thought about it.
I was like, well, close, Danielle talk to Jelly roll.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
So I noticed you just taught your daughter how to drive.
So my son, well, my oldest is seventeen. My husband
taught him how to drive because he said, there's no
way in hell you're teaching him how to drive. What
is it like? I mean, how watching your kid grow
up knowing that soon they'll leave the nest, Soon they'll
be on their own. I'm going through so many emotions
right now, I can't imagine you're doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So I've been home like one day in the last
thirty or forty. Yeah, And I flew in just to
just to hang out with her for an afternoon. And
I went to go meet her and her girlfriend for lunch,
and I sat across the street like a weirdo because
her friend had just turned sixteen and got her license,
so they were out running errands.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Just those two that day.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So I wanted to see how in the parking lot
and wanted to watch the whole scenario, you know, And
it was the most unreal thing. The coolest thing is
is watching her become her own because a quote that
changed my whole life about parenting was kids don't come
from us, they come through us. So it's like watching
quit looking for the traits of me and her and
watching her grow her own traits has been the coolest thing,
(09:28):
but equally scary because she's she's exactly where I was
when I was fifteen. She's going to church every Sunday.
And I also caught her recently smoking pie, so.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She's kind of She's a healthy fifteen l good Balu A.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, and Froggy could not wait to hop on a
plane and come up to join us because you knowing
you were going to be on the show today.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
No, it's great. Your story is is really complex, and
the fact that you've got a documentary coming out about you,
another trailer release this week. Your daughter changed your life completely.
Talk about that.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, we always say that I didn't we didn't get
custody of her.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
She got custody in me. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I was incarcerated when Bailey was born and I learned
that I had a daughter sitting in a jail cell,
and it was I still get emotional talking about it
was the most life changing day of my entire life. Froggy,
I couldn't. I couldn't describe. I mean, it was a
Damascus Road experience for me. And I knew right then
that nothing mattered but being a father, and I knew
(10:24):
I loved music. So I came straight home and started
selling mixtapes out of the trunk, started selling T shirts
in front of the local bars. You know, I just
started doing everything I could. I built a YouTube channel,
and that was almost fourteen and a half years ago,
thirteen years ago, and she's fifteen now, me and my
wife have full custody. Ever, she's my absolute best friend.
She'll be here with me next week, running through the
(10:45):
streets of New York all week. She actually finished her
freshman year yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So she said, it's official. The kid has made it
to the tenth grade. Another milestone reach.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
She has actually already been through more school than me. Wow,
so that's the truth. She's actually already smarter than me.
So it's a it's uh. It changed everything, man. I
went from being a really, really horrible human to being
a decently better humor, more importantly, a pretty good father.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I like hearing that. I love hearing that.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
By the way, the documentary talking about will be on
Hulu in a few days. It's called Jelly Ron Save Me.
I saw the two.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Minute trailer and I'm like, Okay, gotta watch it.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It is I cried. I cried, I s not rocket
cried the first Michael Jordan Mean cried.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Kim, we close these donuts before you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Leave much longer.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I'm gonna dive into your daughter and music have changed
your life completely. Now, when you watch the documentary, you
see that you are changing other people's lives. How full Circle?
Is that for you?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know that was crazy because I didn't realize that's
the documentary we were shooting until it was over. I
wasn't sure what we were doing. It's like a news
it's a it's a news crew, so you really don't
ask no questions. I just follow you and we just
kept running too these scenarios where people were talking about
how the music had changed their life.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And this is the quick.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Story I'll tell you, Elvis, No take your time, Froggy.
I get thousands of messages a year, thousands of messages
a year that say things like your music helped me
get sober, your music helped me be present in my
daughter's life, or foul for petition to see my kid.
But the hardest one to read was the ones that
go I was sitting alone with a gun and I
thought of killing myself and I heard this song that
(12:28):
made me realize I wasn't alone. And every time I
tell us why, I get emotional because my thought is,
let's say that nine hundred and ninety nine out of
a thousand of those.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Messages are just telling what we call fish stories in
the South.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know, they're taking a two pound bass and saying
it was a twenty five pounder. But one person's telling
the God's honest truth that they really sat there and
thought about killing themselves. Man, I'll be writing music the
rest of my life for that one person. I owe
it to them, you know what I mean. And there's
no monetary value, there's no success, there's nothing that will
ever mean more than that one person. And that's the
(13:02):
power of music, right, because I know how much music
has helped me in those moments, you know what I mean,
And that's to me, what's the most important about the
message of music, right. I call it therapeutic music, real
music for real people were real problems.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I'm hearing explosions to what is going on is that's
part of I don't know if you know this or not,
but Jeller rolls performing upstairs.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
The count time.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
By the way, if you're on the West Side, you
need to be on the Intrepid in thirteen minutes. I
want to get back to something you're talking about, and
that's mental health, you know. And for some whatever dumb reason,
mental health has not been a topic of open conversation
with us until recently. I mean, this is something we've
(13:52):
all been trying to tackle and figure out our entire
lives and now, thank god, we're not sweeping it under
the rug and having conversations about it and showing vulnerability
to me is not a weakness. It's a strength to
be able to say, Hey, you know what, these are
the things I'm working on with me. How about you,
let's talk about it. Is your music a part of
your therapy?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Oh? Absolutely, man, just writing songs, but even still therapy
still for me is just not even my It's not
even just writing it. I still get in the car,
roll a doobie and hit a back road in the old,
old up and down rolling hills of Tennessee, right, and
I'll smoke me want to listen to a playlist and
I'll sort through my own stuff, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
It's like, uh, I know people.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
That work out, I obviously don't, but they put on
a head set, right and they listen to music and
that's their thing, Like that's their release. And music's always
been that for me. It's kind of one of the
reasons that I was adamant about building studios inside the
juveniles in Nashville, Tennessee, because when I was in juvenile
I wish I would have had those resources. You know
(14:54):
what I mean is that I understand the therapy power
of music. That's why we work with companies like Rock
to Recovery and go into rehabs and bring guitars and
let drug addicts tell their story or creat events.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Which I think y'all will be interested to hear.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Is there's this organization called Creative Vets that takes veterans
that came from active duty and have been deployed and
brings them home and compairs them with songwriters to help
deal with the trauma they dealt with being away from
their family and what they.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Experienced through the power of music.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So you get to come in with a guy like
me and we'll help you write your story, you know
what I mean. So it's like I'm just so I
look into every way that music can help.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Man. I mean, I'm obsessed with how music can heal.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I've never heard of that concept before. That is just
pretty wild. Yep, it just truly is. Hey, you know
what we have gifts for you? Like you brought all
these incredible donuts from Donuts to light up in Rochester.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We got stuff. What do we have for Jillry? The
USS Wasp, which is decked doct right next door dot
anybody on the USS.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Wasps because.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That is not look at that.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That is awesome, thank y'all.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wow, that's hot.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And the Intrepid wanted to give you their largest shirts.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, yes you did.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You know the Wasp has a gift store also from
the Intrepid. That is awesome too. You know what your
Your story is something. It's the story that everyone needs
to hear. That's why I encourage you to watch Jelly
Rolls Save Me on Hulu as it comes out May thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I wan to watch that.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I'm telling you, man, I hadn't got to see it,
but I've seen the two minute trailer, like y'all did
I mean, dude, it was.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It was emotional.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But I'll also tell you some you can't judge my
emotional barometer because I spent thirty five years and didn't
cry one time. So I've spent the last three years
not being able to stop. The last three years, I'm
just like a walking poster of just.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You had time to make up?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
You know. I will say, though, man, God has blessed
me so much the last three years, Elvis, it's hard
not to cry. Man, I just even days like today,
you cup dude. I mean I woke up in Manhattan,
I got straight off the bus and just what a
just dude, I mean, this is a big deal for
a kid. Shout out to everybody back in Antioch. Man, Hey,
your boy made it paper look gay?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Hearing that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So, as you know, your buddy Froggy he does this
segment every Thursday called food News. I don't even know
how it started, but he does it. He is a
very special food news countdown just for you.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I feel like I should be a semi regular just
on this particular should be.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
All right, here we go. I mean, Jelly and Froggy
do food? Are you ready for the Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
We got the top five Jelly roll food So I'm
gonna name each one and then you comment on why
it is where it is a right?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
How did you planed out?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
These are his favorite foods. I've done my research. Okay,
coming in at number five. I know you own one
food trucks. Yes, I love a good Yeah. What kind
of food truck are on it?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Well, so we have one called Rolling with Jelly. It's
one of my buddies started it. He actually owns it.
He's a friend of mine from my neighborhood. Yeah, and
he hires nothing but second chance guys. So it's pretty
much employed solely by guys from my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
So you might pull up and think you're gonna get robbed,
but you're not really good food.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Okay, all right, all right.
