Speaker 3 (01:05):
What I never never once resuscitated me during those ten seconds.

when and she saw your She's like, that's stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's so stupid. I look like Jason from Like you know,
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I tried it one night, right, yea. And I don't
sleep in that thing.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I couldn't, which is why I'm returning it and just
getting the nose thing. There's no way and hopefully I
won't suffocate anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Guys, I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, let's get right to our guest today because we
have lots to talk about. My good buddy, Ryn Frank
Cabrera's from Dallas, Texas. He began his career as a
lead singer for the Dallas band Rubik's Groove, which we
got to talk about because I didn't even know that
before pursuing his solo career. Ryan, the personal singer songwriter
known for his halo of spikey bleached blonde frosted tip hair,
released his debut album in late two thousand and four,

(02:08):
hit the road on a world Wind concert tour. Along
the way, connected with the fans, who responded by snatching
up his CD and firmly entrenching him and to the
Billboard top one hundred. Wow, I just learned so much
about Yeah, we always do these intros and half of
the time they're not right.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
So it was any of that completely, Like no, I
was in a Rubik's roof.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
It was unfortunately that was something that I liked. I
preferred to forget about.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Let's remember it all about. Yeah, I can't forget it.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I have.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It was one of my first tattoos on my back.
I was an RG for Rubs. Like we literally thought
we were, you know, the next biggest bit, Like we
were going.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
We went to look at colleges. We're like, what kind
of band was it? What music did you do?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well, here's the thing is, I wasn't never supposed to
be a lead singer. I just want to take it
to a drums and then yeah, And it just so
happened that my brother was like, Okay, you're seeing this
band and then it dismembered and then we started this pain.
We were like a jam band. So I never like,
I didn't write lyrics. I made up the words at

(03:09):
every show, so when people when people heard us play,
like the next time, the titles would be the same.
I'd had titles, but then the words I made up
on the spot. It never actually wrote lyrics. And we
we really thought we were the next big thing. We
all looked at colleges were already go the same college.
And then I went in the studio and recorded something

(03:31):
solo because we didn't have enough money to record the
whole band. So I got because I got a gift
for my birthday, Like, okay, you can go to studio
record one song, but I can only afford acoustic like
two hours. So I recorded that and then the engineer
was like, yeah, I want to record a whole album
like that, and I'll do it for free.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
No way. Okay, So I made a whole solo album.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Now, how old were you when this happened. I was
like nineteen, So you were really young. Okay, because you
were you went to college for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I tried it.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
You tried you did you put a toe in the wall?
I got three hours and that was for a racketball.
Oh nice didn't actually clock any hours in class. I
never went to class, but so I did that.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I did that for like six months, got three hours
in credit and racketball, and then when my parents are
out of town, dropped out and moved to LA with
mister Joe Simpson.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well yeah, because then you got a spot in showcase
for Joe Simpson.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Who I guess at that time was Jessica. Like Jessica
was like, so he was doing like a management type thing.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, he was their manager. He was like, yeah, the
dadager and she was huge. You know, this is like
two thousand and two one too. And so literally that
night he goes, all right, you're gonna move to LA
with me and the family, and then we're gonna go
sign for labels.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
You're gonna be a star kid. Oh my god, So
you lived with the Simpsons here? Moved here? Yeah? Movedn't
he moved in with the Simpsons family. Uh? That was
I didn't even have a pair of shoes. I just
packed a bag, A had sandals and flipping floppies.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean, what did the girls think? They're like, you're
gonna just this random guy you just met, just gonna
now live with us.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, I met I met as before because we had
so me actually and Jess had like the same voice
teacher and now so that was like Joe Guck because
Linda had a voice showcase for all her her talent, right,
and so I performed the showcase and he picked me
and then I made a family. But i'd i'd actually
taken actually out once, uh to John Mayer back in.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
The day, which I thought was a date. It was not,
but nineteen years old.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, so take me back to that moment you moved
to la. How long did it take you to get
the recognition?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Were you trying to get a record deal.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, so we were singing and we were doing the
old school way. Were you go into it?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know, an executive you take out the guitar and
I remember the first guy sang for, this man named
Jason fom Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, so well here he was at Lava, right, Yeah,
he was at Lava right here in this building.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh do they move here?

Speaker 1 (05:55):
That's when I because I've been a while. Yeah, I
had an artist with him years ago and it was
right out of this building when he he was the.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
First person I was saying for, so you know, you
know how he is especially probably more like what he
used to be. Like, so like a president of a
record label, you know, they want to throw you off.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
And here I am.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna come. He's gonna ask me
about myself. We're gonna talk about what I've done, where
I've been, like what kind of.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Sound like right?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
And he I literally just walk in and it was
one of tho stories where he goes, all right, impress me.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
And I was like, and I.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Look at Joe and I'm like, like, do I get
my guitar out now?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Like, my guitar is in the case by the side.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I literally just sat down and he's impressed me, and
he sat by the copeter. I went my guitar out,
and he got started checking emails whilst I'm you know.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Singing, singing.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I'm singing in the spam for the first time, thinking
you know, this is gonna go great. And he starts
checking his emails, takes a cigar out, starts smoking a cigar,
and I'm just like, this guy isn't even watching, He's
not paying attention. So I went in the middle of
the song and I went into the hallway and I
just started grabbing all the like the you know, people
at the chairs and any.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Girls I could.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I was like, this guy's not watching me and I'm performing,
so if y'all want to come in, I'd love to
have an audience because also this is a waste of
my time.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And that then he looked up. He's like, uh huh huh.
He's like, Okay, this kid's got something. And that was
kind of the beginning.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
And then I ended up saying a polishing deal with
Evan Lamberg, who was partners with Atlantic and.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Stuff at the time. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Uh, so he goes here, I'm gonna I'm gonna set
you up. I want you to keep writing, so I
know you have something, but I don't think you have
the songs yet, so let me, you know, give you
some money to live and go out and write on
songs to Then after about a year and a half,
all those people at the time that were had said no,
Evan was right. He's like, then I wrote, uh, on
the way down was the song that got me signed.

(07:34):
Now those people that all said no were like, I
knew you were gonna be a star kid.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Isn't that the best feelings? Oh?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
God?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah? And then they're all offered deals like mmm, okay.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I remember you're probably the reason that Ryan Tedder didn't
getting signed to Lava because I brought Roan Teddor to Jason.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
And he was like, yeah, no, solo white guy will work.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh yeah, well yeah, you hear that a lot until
you do, especially when radio is that I mean at
that time, especially then, you know, yeah, it was it
was you guys and Backstreet and Idea, like it was
all boy bands. There was no like solo you know,
boy that wasn't the thing with a guitar and acoustic.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, there wasn't really any white solo male singers back then.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
No, not in the pop world. No. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
And so you eventually get signed your debut album, Take
It All Away on the way Down, Like you said.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Well, I had to frost my tips first, and that's
kind of what changed everything.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well let's gett's get to that.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You know, you're on frosted tips right now, and you
have the ultimate I think frosted tips, like when you
look in the diction, very frost part.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Of this, like legacy they have really honored.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, I was following in Pacey's footsteps from Dawson's Creek.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
You've had not only that, but the long dark hair too.
Oh god, I had some hairstyles. So yeah, I've been
through a lot.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
That was That was because the label told me after
my first record that I had to shave my head.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The opposite.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I did the exact worked out really well. That dropped immedia.
That was like Chris Gaines era.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, well so now it was funny. So at the time,
everybody's like, you're out of your mind. And my mom
was like, why did you do that? You had such
great hair, and they're like, hare.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Is your things?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Like that was at the time period where you were
trying to prove that it's not just about right.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I was like, I'm a singer, I'm not a pretty.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Friting my own song. So I did the opposite. I
was like, I'm not shaving my head.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
When you write? What is your how do you write?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Do you love doing it by yourself and then bringing
someone else in if you're you're more of a lyrics person, Yeah,
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Everything. Yeah, just kind of depends that.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
You know, every song is different, so sometimes you'll come
up with idea, like I have a lot of ideas
in my dreams, which is really weird and I'll wake
up and grab a voice though, and then sometimes they're good,
and sometimes you're like, that's what I thought was genius
in my dream.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, I do that with TV and film, Like my
note section is insane, and yeah, it's always at night,
and then I'm like, oh God, reach over, you know,
do the note section. And then by the time I
get to the nose section, I forget half of what
I thought of. But then the next day I wake
upm like, the hell is.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
That h At the time, it's like a stream of consciousness.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
But yeah, it's it's funny what you think is good
the night before.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
But yeah, I like collaborating though, Like that's for when
you're writing music, Like some of the most fun you
have is like getting other people's ideas and be like
I never would have thought of that. That's awesome, And
you know, you start something and then how it ends
is is so different based because of the Collaboratville.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Did you get to Nashville a good bit? Not too often,
because that's where all the writers go. Yeah, that's a little.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
More like like a like a camp. Yeah, like you
go in you you pump out three songs in a day,
and that's just not me like I'll take you know,
took me two and a half weeks to do true
just from start to finish, literally like every day changing
and changing it and then too, but versus all the
way down, which took me, you know, maybe an hour.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
To write really. So it's like, but I don't like
to set a parameter. What's your favorite song you've written? Oh,
well it's worth it. Yeah, we're gonna get to that. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
And that's not even really just because I'm biased because
it's about my wife, but it really is for me.
You know, when you write a song about you know,
your wife, that's like, there's nothing more meaningful of that.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
That was beautiful.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
I wouldn't talk about the wedding because that's never Lence
has never written the song for me, so I wouldn't
know the feeling.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
For you. Even in your dreams, you don't have like
the subconscious No, it's all team. No songs ever pop
in my head.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I do write down lyrics every once whle I'm like,
oh that's a good title. I'm all about title.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, but then I like to do that too.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, and then I never will do anything with it.
Most titles, like you hear like random things. You're like,
that's a country songs, They're always a country.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's always a country.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
We were just I was just in Nashville, and uh,
I forgot how much I love that place. We were
looking at properties because we're thinking about, you know, getting
a place there and basing ourselves in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
You just want to be closer to Chris.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I want to be right next to Chris and Justice.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
No, I just think it's a I want peace in
my life.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
But I feel like there's really great towns around Nashville
that are very small and quaint and you just know,
oh everyone. I want to feel like how I grew
up in Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Right, get lost, have your music, you still have the action.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
But for how much I missed the music industry by
just being in Nashville for forty hours? I was around
all these amazing musicians. Okay, just one night I went
to the Grand Ole Opry, which is, you know, just
the ultimate. Everyone that has touched that stage is just
I mean just icons, right, And then we're just hanging there.
There's a group called the Isaacs, which you have to

(12:28):
check out.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
The Isaacs.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
They the group's been around for fifty years. But it's
evolved because it started out with the parents. Now the
kids are the lead singers, but gospel like Southern Baptists,
blue grass. Yeah, but now they're coming. They're trying to
get a little more mainstream right now, so they've switched
management whatever. So they performed at the Grand Ole Opry
and I went to go see them, and I was
hanging out in the dressing room and you know, they

(12:50):
just jam, right, just everyone's just jamming. And then Laurena
E Lena comes by and she's like, oh my god.
She sits down and she starts singing Alison Krause.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
With us, and then everybody comes.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Then I'm like, freaking Laurie Morgan and then my friend
who's in the band, and she's like, oh, you like
Alison Krause. Here, get on the phone. It's Alison Krause.
I'm like, what is my life right now? And this
is all just one little moment of Nashville. Uh, And
it just it made me. It filled my soul, filled
my soul there.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah you need that. Yeah, I do. Well, Okay, let's
talk about the wedding.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's right, well, Lexi's here. I love when it's Uh,
when you all get to do things together. Uh, this
wedding was so much fun one so fun.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Theme was on point.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
It was like rock star, which was so fun because
I got to wear my kilt.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, fucking kilt. We wanted that.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
We wanted that thing to war when people ask the
dress code, like whatever that outfit is that you've always
wanted to wear but never been able to have a
place to wear it, because like I can't pull that
off there whatever that is, it's a yes, I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
But just to have the guest list was hilarious because
it was just the most mix of everyone in this industry,
from Sarah Michelle Geller to every amazing rustler you've ever known,
to like insane Deborah Back to get Back.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I was supposed to talk to her about that.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I know, I just interviewed her a few weeks ago,
and yeah, I was gonna bring up.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Like it was the whole thing I always like because
it's in Rock of Ages. We saved music last week exactly.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
We have a you know, a very colectic group of
friends and fun friends, and everybody was there just to
have a good time and we wanted to make sure
we set it up properly to wear from the second
you got there, like there was no like, oh.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
That part was kind of boring, you know. Oh it
was other than the heat, which we couldn't help.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
It was palm springs and you know, palm desert and
very hot times.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
But that's why we were killed smart breeze. We felt
greats cut the sleeves.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Off, and I remember because I was just dealing with
my new diabetes at the time, so I wasn't I
wouldn't control it. So the right after y'all said I do,
it hit me and I'm like dying. I was so
not like, oh my God, Like, am I gonna have
to go home?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
This is so borderline about to go. So I sat
there and then you still perform that oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well then when everyone started performing, I was like sitting down,
and then it just kind of started getting better. I
think i'd be drinks. I don't know what it was,
but then it all went away. I'm like, thank God.
And then it just turned into a pot you know,
it's a party when I get on stage and sing, yeah,
have a couple of well.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
And it's that's so we've always tried to create an environment,
you know, from like me doing the house shows of
like what you just said.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Like with the Isaacs, it's like people just want a jam.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
To perform, and nothing was rehearsed at that wedding. Everybody
just was like, hey, I'm gonna get up and even
one of our one of our buddies, I'm who but
he wasn't feeling very well either. He was like throwing
up just I think from some other stuff ten and
he's like, dude, I'm so sorry, you know what. I
was going to sing a song, but you know, I'm
just not feeling I was like, dude, there is no
pressure for anyone to sing. And then he saw somebody

(16:09):
else get up who's in the same genre as he is.
Because I'm getting up there, up there, He's like, I
can I go next? It just it was an environment
where everybody wanted to get up there.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I mean, Yellow Card, Jared Reddick bowling for soup. I
mean everyone was at this like just hitting the stage.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yeah, even even even Ashley Parker Angel got up there somehow.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, the day that I met LEXI changed my life
is in Orlando, Florida.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I went to the old Parliament House. Oh yeah again
it is yeah, downtown though that was I forgot about
a little.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yea, it was love at first sight. But I haven't
heard the story of exactly how y'all met. And I
don't want to hear from Lexi because I think he's
gonna make it. I don't know, is that mic Oh yeah,
get over here.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
You can tell our story, babe.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
And and what's great?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Oh no.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Lexi also is definitely in the family of frosted tips
because she's got the frosted pink tips.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
I even have the butterfly clips today.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh, they're coming back, guys, they're back, all right. So
how did how did y'all meet? Oh?

Speaker 5 (17:13):
No, so there was a rumor that we were dating
before we even knew each other. Whoever was running his
social media at the time was liking all of my tweets,
and which.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I didn't even know I had a Twitter. I didn't
find out.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Well it was so it was so weird too, because
I remember just getting you know, worked, you know, when
someone's verified, you get a notification of when they like
your tweet or they say like they at you or whatever.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
I even have a screencap of it still of just
my timeline.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Excitement, all of my excitement do you give the police report?

Speaker 5 (17:49):
It was literally it was like, Rank Coberra like your tweet,
Rank cabert I replied your tweet, Frankbeer liked your tweet.
Rankbreerra Uh replied your tweet. And I literally texted my
friend Caylen, I, go calm down, Brah, what is this
dude's deal?

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Like I was like, I don't know him. What maybe
because like he's friends with Mike, Like I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
And so then you know, wrestling fans, being as passionate
as they are, they started making these Instagram accounts of
me and Ryan together and shopping.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Since my page was liking all her stuff, clearly they
must be dating.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And I could only imagine that the wrestling fans were
not going to be much Ryan Cabrera fans especially, they
think they're dating one of their favorite wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, they don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Good.

Speaker 6 (18:30):
It was not good.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
And so Mike calls him saying, hey, I heard your
link to Alexa Bliss and he said, what's that And
he was like.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Oh, it's like a clothing brand or something.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
It does sound very like brand, the brand.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Sound like a person Bliss? Yeah, yes, great night.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
And so I had gotten a text saying, Hey, are
you dating Ryan? And I was like, I thought he
was married to Ashley Simpson. Like that's I thought they dated,
got married and lived happily ever after.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
In my brain, that's that's where it went.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
And so I had messaged him because this same thing
had happened to one of my friends who's a comedian
and I had done his podcast and because I had,
you know, posted a picture with him whatever, wrestling fans
were like, oh my gosh, they must be dating. So
I messaged Ry and I was like, I'm so sorry,
like that this has happened. Apparently we're dating, and I apologize.

(19:29):
You know, this happens a lot with the Twitter verse.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Just a plan the whole time. I would be.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
You was going to have like, oh it was you
liking the whole time?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh I have people?

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Oh yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, because I would tell you because I'd be like,
look at that plan.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, yeah, you're not shy.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
It would be great. I didn't even know how to
log onto twitters.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah, you didn't know your social media. I was like, hey,
this girl messaged.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
You, and so you should go get on and check
it out because it's because he must be a wrestling
fan because he knew exactly who she was. Because he
was liking all this stuff. He was a new guy
for us too. But then now I'm like, I can't
be mad at you. Like unfortunately we had to part
ways after what happened there, But I'm like, at the
same time, I owe this guy so much because if
he didn't do that, I.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Wouldn't met my wife.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
And so we were texting, and I.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Don't think he was doing it in like a malicious way.
I think he just liked all the wrestling stuff.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
Yeah, No, it wasn't malicious whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
But we were texting back and forth and it had
gone for like his flight to Orlando, and we had
just bonded over the fact like, oh, we know the
same people. Didn't realize you know, Jared didn't know you
knew this person. And he's her love for Cerealese's puffs,
racist puff cereal and you know the important stuff, the

(20:47):
stuff that you talk about at first.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Oh yeah, racist puffs.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
And so he was like, well, it was great talking
to him getting land in Orlando, and I was like,
oh cool, I live in Orlando, and he was like, oh,
you should come to my show tonight.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Tomorrow. He's like, it's me, Joey. You know you should come.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
I was like, maybe I always had him with the Maybies,
and he got so mad at that because I was
always like maybe.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
So that night, maybe this is where Chris almost ruined
it all. Chris almost ruined the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh really.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
He even got a shout out in one of the
bridesmaid's speeches. No one caught it, but Chris almost ruined everything.
So Ryan hadn't seen Chris.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Do you want to preface the classic Chris.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well long story show.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
I hadn't seen Chris, and you know, it's been like
six months or so whatnot. And it was the night
before we were playing and he's like, we're going to
Jelly Rolls tonight. And if anybody you know, it was
jelly Rolls is like the dueling pianos in Disney on Broadway.
But it's like people go there and they get turned up,
like to the utmost of you know, when you walk

(21:47):
into Jelly Rolls, you walking out.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
The same any dueling pianos places, that's one of those scenarios.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
So Chris said, mean, I'm like, oh, okay, I haven't
seen it in a while, and you know he's gonna
want to like get after it, and we're going to
Jelly Rolls.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
We're both gonna be.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
To see each other. You know, Joe's coming, all the works.
So I'm like, oh no. I was like, I told myself,
I go, right, this girl doesn't know you, you don't
know her. Don't get drunk with Chris and try to facetimer.
Oh gosh, because I know me, because we'd also talked
on the plane like how we prefer facetiming, and we're
talking on the phone kind of thing. So I'm like,
in my head, you know, once after you get a

(22:22):
couple drinks, you're like, it's a great idea. I should facetimer.
But I knew how it would be with Chris, So
I told myself not to. And I wake up the
next morning and I'm like, please say you didn't do it.
Please say did I look at it two face times?
Tellects both answered and I don't remember either. Oh lord,
I don't remember either one. I got no recollection of

(22:42):
face timer. I just know that it did because I
see it. I'm like, oh great. And then and then
uh uh, so I hit her and I was like,
so you can come to the show tonight.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah. Yeah, she goes, well, if you promise me one thing.
I was like, what's that? She goes, if you have
never facetimed me like that ever? Again, I was like, okay, promise, Okay,
let time. What do you say?

Speaker 6 (23:06):
Should I tell them?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Chris called first. It was Chris. Oh god if he
wanted to do the full thing, but.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Oh lord, it was Chris and he was like, are
you coming to our show tomorrow?

Speaker 6 (23:15):
And I was like, so, mind you.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I'm an early bird, like I go to bed at
like nine eight thirty if I'm lucky.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
And we're right there now. Yeah, it took us kids
to get there.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
And it's like.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
Eleven o'clock and I get this first FaceTime and I'm
just like hello, and it's Chris like this, are you
coming to our show tomorrow? And I was like what
And he's like, are you coming to our show tomorrow?
And Ryan's in the background flipping me the bird, sticking
his tongue out right.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Now what every girl wants to it would have gotten me.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
That's my guy, And then face times me later thirty
minutes later, he's in his hotel room, and the only
thing he asked me is what happened in my past relationship?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh no, you're bringing up relationship. I guess I wanted
to do.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
He was like he's like, hey, what happened there?

Speaker 1 (24:10):
And then how's your wife Ashley?

Speaker 5 (24:15):
And so then the next day I was at the
show and Chris was like, we all know how Chris is.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
He's really joking. He was like, he's like, yeah, sorry
about last night. I can't help it.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
You know, Cabrera can't handle his liquor, and like was
like basically like throwing him under the bus, but in
like the funniest way. So then after the show, Ryan
comes up. He goes, so, we're all going to go
out for drinks. Do you want to come?

Speaker 6 (24:32):
And I was like, it's eight fifteen, I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
But then after I gotta get to bed.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
I was like, I gotta get to bed.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
I gotta go because from what I knew at that point,
after the facetimes and the.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Stories, I was like, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Probably not going to work out. Yeah, And I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
I didn't know that Chris had been talking to her
backstage while I was performing and being like yeah, Ryan's
a real asshole when you drinks.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
So she thinks, like, you know, I'm a terrible drunk
at that point, and I'm like, no, that's good. Just
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I didn't know for a while not but you can
handle yours until she told you.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
And I'm like, no, that's just kir Patrick being that's
how he is. He wants to get you in trouble.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Face timed him too, and he was just like, wow,
I really he goes. I almost really ruined that hun
So at the wedding he got super stoked that he
got a shout out in the bridesmaid speech about almost ruined.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
They probably thought it was all him that made it happen.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
That Like we literally were in the same city like
over and over again because we have two completely different schedules,
and I'm like, well, we ended up going on a day.
We went to a movie during the day and like
actually got to hung out and then we went bowling whatnot.
But then I was like, Okay, well you know i'd
love to see again. I live in la she lives
in Orlando. In my head, we're like we're probably never
going to see each other, but that little next week

(25:38):
I was playing the Thanksgiving the Prey in Chicago. She's
in Chicago for Raw. The week after that, I have
to be in New York for something.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
She was in New York for some day. I have
to go to Texas. She was in a music video
and Texas.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
So we kept following each other. Yeah, it just kept
happening to happen. Or did I have those booked on
purpose because I checked the rock.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
It comes out.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I never thought about that, huh.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
But we like to think it was like, you know,
serendipitous faith that just literally happened to be in the
same cities because our schedules are all over the place.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
I love the fact that. I mean at your wedding,
I saw like, uh Ash was there, Avil was there.
I love that. Y'all can all just be friends. I
mean she was in your wedding. I mean, how do
you keep friends with like your I mean I'm the
same way. I'm like friends with all my exes. Yeah thing,
I just like love them part of my life.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
But uh, none of my none of my breakups were
like this terrible. Oh my god. Yeah, you're a joker.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
They just you're the wrong timing just didn't work out.
Wasn't the right parst you know kind of thing. Doesn't
mean that know what could tame however you want to
say it, you know, however you want to call it.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
No, I knew from the beginning. I was like, oh,
I'm done.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Because I mean, he's the big reality guy and I know,
I'm pretty sure you've seen every single show that Ryan's
been on.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean, I grew up senior dating history on TV.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, more of your love life than anything else.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Not so much.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, but you know, if you have main friends with
always because I never had a bad break up.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
For the last TV I was on, what was that
it show? It was the Pretty Wild Show.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Oh yeah, that's the one we Oh, let's talk about
this Test Taylor girl.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yes, Test Taylor, which I didn't know that well, first off,
I didn't even know them. So the I did that
as a favor to whoever was running E at the time.
She brought me in the off and was like, can
you do this for us? I need you to show.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
I was like, all right, I don't know what that is.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
But at the time I was dating Audrina, one of
the girls was that was one of the houses that
she roped.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh no, I didn't know this.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
I didn't know anything about it. I just did a
favor for whoever was the head of at the time.
I was like, listen, if you do this show, we
you know, any ideas you have for the future stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'm like, all right, they can come to the studio,
which is never true, by the way.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, trust me, I know. Right after then after I
realized the well, h yeah, has gone that little pitch film,
but like they can just come to the studio or
I think it was only one of them, not the
one that from the blamery, but the sister. The sister
sister came to the studio and I realized quick because
I thought there was gonna come watch like they were

(28:15):
whatever it was gonna be. And then like the cameras like, okay,
can you guys not sit on the piano and you
teach her to play piano?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Like what we're sitting next to you?

Speaker 4 (28:23):
And I'm like, all right, that's a little weird, but okay,
so like here's a sea chord. And then I could
see the way she was kind of looking at me.
I'm like, oh, are they trying to sit like this
is more You're coming to the studio to you are
a storyline, sir, huh, did not know it? Yeah, And
then they go, okay, well the last seed is just

(28:43):
you going bowling, and.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yes, I remember you bowling. That's like the scene. I
think I remember bowling for soup though I wasn't bold
for sick.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
But I think that my house got hit by the.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
They got YouTube.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, we did know it at the time, like you know,
then everyone started coming out with like all whatever. But yeah,
at the exact same time, someone broke into my house
and stole my People's Choice awards, all my chips from
Vegas that were in my safe.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Did you ever get in my back jewelry, jewelry, every
single thing? Yeah? Everything.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
But it was the exact same time. And that was
when I lived my next door to Britney Spears, and
so there was always paparazzi at the bottom of my
gate and they would always piss me off, right because
I'm like, just leave her alone, leave Brittany alone. Yeah,
and so yeah, so I leave and that's when it happened,
and all these you know, paps were right there. I'm like,
so you didn't see any person through my because there's

you know, and everyone everyone had the digital camera and
they were taking pictures here, so mind you, I can't
look up, So every picture from that dance, I'm just
looking forward smiling, and everyone else is like, oh my god.
And then when they put the crown on me, they

(33:22):
were too afraid to touch me because my neck brace
and it fell off, and so I had to awkwardly
bend down like this and pick it up and put
it on my own head.

the first time we'd experienced a fan who snuck into
a venue and slept underneath like a vanity table thing,
like hid in that in that somehow got in, hid
in there, slept overnight. So then when we got got
in the dressing room, she popped out, yeah, and was like.

immediately but yeah, passa the thing.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I was like, how did you care? Like I slept
here overnight, aw blah blah blah, Like you can stay.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
So I let her hung out for like thirty minutes,
like you just gotta go, Like no, she just she
slept overnight.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Why this man is great, So he let her stay
and it was this happened. I know so many of
the guy's stories and there's so many similarities to this
Backstreet did it. Like there was a fan that stuck
them to their bus, you know those double deckers.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
That they have in Europe.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
There was a girl sleeping up in the bunk for hours,
just waiting for them to come up there to sleep.
I've had one sneaking in a room service cart.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Oh that's genius.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
So I'm in my bedroom just eating and I just
hear like like movement underneath my table and like, what
the hell? And immediately I look under it that's falling.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah, that's next level. It's just so you got.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
But you gotta respect the hustle and the creativity to
think to do that.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
And what stories they must have, Like they're telling the
story too, Like oh my gosh, when I was fifteen, but.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
To do that, I know back then, I mean, I
won't even ask someone for a photo, let alone like
do a like an Ocean's eleven scheme.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
It depends again, too, like I'm sure you were like Okay,
that's a little much, but like you're not. You're so
nice that you're like all right security.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, all I could do was just letter out. I
was like did that just happen? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Like what the hell was that? And ever since then,
I was so scared out. Every time I go into
a hotel room. Even today, I look in every closet
under the bed still. Yeah, yeah, I just I mean,
it's just a natural thing. I just look in every corner,
just in case there's someone they're trying to murder me.
What are these other fan questions, Turkey Turky.

I know what you're gonna say, but no one knows
that oh something that they were.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Going to get an exclusive gosh darn it.

Speaker 5 (40:22):
So there's a couple of songs that I really like.
There's one that's not out yet. Good story, good, but
it's catchy and it's got a fun story behind it.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
I really like Fall.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Baby Fall, Okay, it's the second album. Yeah, that's one
of my favorites too.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
And actually didn't play that song live, like I wasn't
playing live, and then she was like, that's my favorite song, Like, well,
now I have to play it. Live, so I started
playing it live again because she loves it and exits
exit really first albums that's og take it All Away album?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Do you get? I'm sure you have to explain the
title of All the Way Down, because I'm sure half
of the people think it's all the way Down, all
the time.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
All the way down tattooed on my butt Okay, that's right.
You people confuse that title so much so that I
have a tattooed on my booty?

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Chick?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Does that annoy your think? It's just kind of funny?

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Now? No, I think it's funny because I mean, if
I go back and listen to it, it sounds like
it could be all the Way Down. So uh, but
that's what the story is, is it happened so many times,
like people would be like, you're one of my favorite artists.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
My favorite song is all the Way Down.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
I'm like, so, i' your favorite artists and it's your
favorite song. You don't even know what it's called, so like,
I don't know about that, But so we thought it
was funny. So me and a buddy of mine, we
were on sunset. We were passing a tattoo plates and
fan did the exact same thing that we always laughed
about because he's with me a lot, and I was like, we.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Should get tattoos of it. It's so funny blah blah blah,
and like we should get a mom butt.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
We're like okay, so we go in and I was
just trying to like bait him, play a little play
little joke, so you first, So he did it, gets
all the way down tattooed on his but like.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well, it looks like around of time.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
I got to get back because I have a couple
of places I need to be, so I didn't get it.
So he got so now he had all the way
down tattooed on his butt, and then after about six
months he gave me so much crap for it, so
I eventually went and got it as well.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
So that's how well you do this game called tattoo Roulette.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Yeah that was not even tattoo Roulette, I know.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
That was just like, okay, So this game, which I
think he doesn't have his first tattoo yet, he's we're
we're gonna do a tattoo at some.

Bebop story or whatever.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Yeah, the guy with like one eye and or this crew.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Member that just learned how to do and he brought
his kit.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
On the road.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I have a guy in Vegas who I got you're
going to learn today on the side of my ribcage
from Kevin Hart. You going to learn to day experience
and uh, he got he's just high as all can be.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
That's great, and I look for.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Great and you know, we know he's like going to
smoke and like and so he put the tencil on.
So when you get a tattoo, you get a ten soul.
You decide if you like it, you know placement.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
And I look at it.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
I'm like, well, yeah, I don't really like it at
a forty five degree angle. I prefer it like flat Jason,
you know, horizontal with my body. And so he wipes
it off and readjusts it. Now, this cat is so
high that he started tattooing the you gonner and started
tattooing half of it, the normal stencil of the new
one and half of the remaining stencil that he wiped
off but didn't wipe off a nunh it's not like

(44:10):
an extra j It was not even a jay in
the and you're gonna learn today, but architecture get covered.
I'm like, no, that's that's just funny at this point.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Oh right, okay, so explain what tattoo roulette because this
is tattoolettes on my legs. Those are only legs. And
then where yeah, me and me and a buddy are blindfolded.
Started with me and my buddy. Alex was one of
my best friends.

Speaker 4 (44:30):

Like, what are we gonna get? Like, I don't know,
it was like whatever. It was like.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
But now, but then now I've got like he's got
I got him Taco Bell, like the Taco Bell logo.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Some people think he's a huge Taco Bell fan.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Trying to think if I did tattoo, what would I

Speaker 4 (45:53):
Now what that's That's the thing is you're if you're
playing defends, like are you playing to like the worst thing?

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Are you trying to be funny? Trying to be cute?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I don't know what I would give you?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Get him Chris Farley, Like I got is core. That's good. No,
I get a beautiful portrait of Chris kerk Patrick on you. Oh,
I would actually enjoy a picture of Chris Kpatrick. Marcus Monroe,
Markus Monroe.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Everyone listening right now, go google Marcus Monroe. You will
laugh your asshole. Amazing comedian slash juggler.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Yeah, juggler first then turned comedian, right.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
So freaking funny. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
And he has he has a boy band dedicated bathroom
in his house.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
He does he's gonna be paid, says that, uh huh.
He actually is a huge boy band fan and he
like every comedy show he wears a boy band shirt.
And he came and met us in It was on
Halloween in I think, uh, Milwaukee, we're doing Milwaukee, And
he knew Chris is gonna be there, and he'd heard
about these tattoos that you know, it's this ink that dissolves.

(46:55):
So he's like, I'm gonna get because he has no
Tattoo's like, I'm gonna get Chris Kerpatrick's face with like
you know, the uh, the long hair, it's.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
The only way. So does that d does that right there?

Speaker 4 (47:04):
With the dreads? Does that right there? It's been two
and a half years, it has not gone away.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Is it still there? It is still there? Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
It was supposed to last for nine months and he
thought it's dissolved, and it's still there.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
It's not not even like faded, really still full on.
Chris Ker Patrick tato, I guess I'm a crystal though.
It really is so good.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
You've said meeting your wife inspired you to start writing
new music again.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
You did.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
When are we going to hear this? Because now we've
been teased that really great when coming up?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, so when when do we get it? We're putting
out an EP this year.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Okay, so it's it's taken some time, but you know,
we want to do it the right way, and now
we have a you know, new label that we're working with,
so we're going to put out ink. We're going to
do the EP thing because you know, I think sometimes
at this day and age, twelve songs might be too
much and sometimes you know, some of your best songs
at the end and they get wasted.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
What is the difference though, I mean, you started, you know,
two thousand, it is now twenty three years later. The
music business has really changed in the way that you
release singles, release albums. You know, it's a singles world.
Now it is a singles world. What is the main
difference that you've seen and how do you combat that?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Well, that's why we're doing the EP.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Yeah, so that way, you know, because if I feel
like I have twelve really strong songs I've been writing
for a long time and then now finally putting the
stuff together. I'm like, I don't want to have like
seven songs or eight songs that no one even get
to hear because there's too many.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
So really the only solution to be the either one just.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Put out singles and not really worry about selling albums
and just hope that you know, a single takes off
or you know, do a five song EP, which are
we're going to do come out with a single. But
then also you know what you have, you have your
extra songs that you hope, like that one song that
somebody wants to do on TikTok that becomes you know,
that's how they have to hear it and if people

(49:04):
start to play and that could be a not single.
So at least there's a couple of songs for that
we think. You know, Lexi's my main advisor with the
songs that she hears like, oh my gosh, that would
be great on TikTok, Like that's all that. Times he's
like this one in this one, here's why do this.
I'm like, babe, that is all you because I don't
know anything about that world. So I'm like, all right,
So we have a couple for those that could specifically

(49:26):
be for just like some fun online stuff and then
like the songs that I think could be potential single singles.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
So I decided funn Year. I'm excited to hear it.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Out of everything that you've experienced in your career, do
you have that favorite moment that you're like.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Oh, in my career, Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's gonna
forever and always be the first time I performed with
the Songwriters Hall of Fame and it was.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
So I got a couple of awards that night, so
you know, meant a lot.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
And just seeing you know, certain people in the crowd
that you're like they saw me when you know, most
performed songs of the year, you know, like that kind
of thing.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I was like, it just felt really cool.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
But then I got to perform with Smoky Robinson, Chris
Tucker was up there, Richie Sambora, Debbie Gibson, John Fogerty because.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Debbie got song right over the year in the eighties
like this, he is the youngest songwriter of the year ever.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah, still still going.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
And then people bryce sending Bill Withers and we're singing
one of Smoky songs, you know, were singing my girl together,
and I just remember looking to my left, looking at
my right with these people on stage, and be like,
how did I get here? Like you know, that's a
full on spiky hair, like, you know, the the tallest
it's ever been.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
I'm looking at like these legends, like I don't know
how I got closer to God.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna ask questions. And that was
one of my favorite ones. So after the the performance,
or we're talking to Bill Withers, who I was a huge,
huge fan of, and he signed my guitar and just
looks at me.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
He's like, you're the future.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
And sounds like guitar like Pete that again, Yeah, I
could I work at my recording advice Bill Withers, Like
that was just a cool, cool moment for me, just
because that's I'm such a fan of artists and moments
and to get that kind of recognition was it was
something that I'll never forget.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Well, you know, I feel like you're about to enter
a new chapter in your life, especially with this new music.
Let's fast forward ten years from now, where do you
want like, where do.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
You see babies?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
So okay, so okay, babies that's good. Yeah, so you
do want to have kids? Can you have them like
now so that together and grow up with uh huh
all right, so starting a family?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yeah, I think yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Do you know where you want to like settle down? Like,
is there a city I want to be in to
raise the kids?

Speaker 2 (51:44):
I'm in La. So you're like in La forever now?

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Yeaheah, I mean I'm I'll I'll never say forever on anything,
just because you know, if you had asked me five
years ago, would I also have, you know, be in
Orlando as well, because we do both coast, I'd be like,
there's not a chance.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
How is Orlando now?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Because I haven't lived there since two thousand and two,
it's probably the same, hume.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Because I enjoy it because you know, we get to
go to Disney and stuff.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
It's just I like, I like to work and stuff,
like all works here and I just love l A

question and I'm going to see if you can match
the answer that I said. Yeah, that you said back
in two thousand and five.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
I hope I can't, because I probably say the same thing.
Still I found out.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Okay, when you're out on the road, you're going to
different cities and different towns and doing different shows.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Favorite place you like to eat when you're on the road,
