We could do a marketplace a minute today. I still
don't know if I haven't made my mind up that
I'm gonna go get it yet, because the guy looks
kind of sketchy.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Got us a little bit. Well, you've already got the
trailer out there, now, I know. I brought it a sketch.
Is that safe we got from the upstairs? That man? No,
I asked him that house we went to get that.
We get it. Let's go, let's just get it, get
into it. Dude. Are we doing a marketplace? Fine, dude,
because I have one. Yes, we'll do it. Well, yeah,

(05:06):
sometimes we do. Sometimes we don't. You're going to find
out that we don't know what we're doing on this.
There's a lot of one of the sporadic segments we
had that never really found its roots, if you will.
It was a time. It was a segment called marketplace
in place minute because we were always we always buy,
our dad's always buying, or and then something goes crazy
with it, like one time we bought this motorcycle that

(05:29):
was definitely hot, like most definitely hot, and now it
resides in a I've literally never written it, but it's
it has had this entire Dan's were in it, and
Jonathan Singleton's retten it and you haven't and I've never
I've never ridden it. But it has this it has
this life, like this legacy. Yeah, it's probably at this

(05:50):
point ten years old. Yeah, and I probably got I
paid three hundred dollars for it, but it's been all
over to mechanics, like all over that. But then I
got scammed on somebody said they were building an engine
and they did.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I paid their rent for a month and a half. Okay,
let's story.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh my god, and then we'll get in so Dan
and Jonathan because I think I illegally did something in that. Okay,
now now that I think they.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Could, you still get in trouble for it right now today,
So we can talk about at this point like three
years or something.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Uh, So, Dan and Jonathan. You know how dudes are, man,
Probably the three minute story, Dude, three minutes super focused.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
You get you get tunnel vision on something that you're
obsessed about, deer hunting, bass fish and music. What absolutely truck.
I don't know what your thing is. But for a summer,
Dan and Jonathan start they start buying.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
They bought.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Jonathan bought a motorcycle. He bobbed it off in the
back of the motorcycles. We mean, like, yeah, I'm all

You are buying like top of the line, like chromed
out Harley. This is what? No, this is this is
boss the face marketplace stuff I had. No, I don't
even I think I might have mine for free. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, we're still cultivating the relationship with Jonathan, trying to
try to get in there a little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I got that from my uncle Craig.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Dude, anyway you did because you wrote it.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
You drove it from Mississippi and I wrecked it. Yeah,
erected grave a dog some guy got I'll just pull off.
He was in a leafy suit. We're already go to
He drove from Mississippi to Nashville on a motorcycle in
a leafy suit and wrected. How do you even end
up on a motorcycle in a leafy suit? That's so true, dude, Spring,

(07:35):
I guess it was Spring. I don't, dude. I saw
a dude as big as you in a leafy suit
on small I would follow you. Not many bike, but
like gouys. I bet if somebody saw you wreck, they're like,
what is that fifty? It was a little so anyway,
I bought one in in murphys Borough.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I wanted to cross track it. They had little like
like bobbers, I.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Want two minutes. I wanted to cross two minutes. I
found one a dude.

a part of their whatever their thing was. Every time,
like they were buying sell boats, like cheap sail boats,
and I was learning how to drive.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yes, literally we lived on a house, but we saw
the Oh yeah, I do remember saying, I'm sure we
sunk it in left.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Anyway, this podcast is about you, but we're gonna start
off with the story about us. So I go to Murphisboro.
I literally, uh, while I'm moving furniture one day, I
see this guy's like, hey, I'm not sleeping in my
house because I bought this motorcycle. Like, my wife is
going to divorce me if I don't sell this thing
right now. I drove down there with Jonathan and Dan.
We loaded up three hundred bucks. Needed some work. I

(08:42):

First Cousin's like, hey, man, I got a guy who
can build that engine for you, like, rebuild that engine.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
He's like one thousand bucks, eleven her bucks. I was like, okay,
that's literally all the money I have. It's like eleven
hundred and forty three dollars. I think you actually sold
some stuff to have some money. So this guy comes
picks up this bike. He takes it to north of Nashville.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
He's sending me pictures of like engines being worked on,
and I'm like, dude, this thing's gonna be sick. Dude.

definitely impersonated an officer and called that's a good brother, dude,
or died nobody. I mean, I had nothing to lose
at the time.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
He almost wrote it now never.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
In my life. But I was like, I remember who
the name, I said, because it sounded like such a
cop name.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
This thing went so long with this guy that they
were out of the motorcycle motorcycle face and.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I was still doing I wrectars and giving him away,
and Read was still trying to get his back. So

That song is like years old now. Really, it was

(14:08):
the one song that like I've been I've been kind
of like writing for this I feel like for this
project for the last couple of years. But that one
is like I wrote that before I got a pub
deal anything, and just like stuck around and nice that
song love when they make it.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
The first question I got is, are you are you
gonna cut the song we wrote?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Dude? I don't know. Man, I don't know, man, spot
are we gonna? Are we gonna write more? If you do, great,
If you don't, let's just write some more. That's that
was my That's my second question.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
That's all this podcast really is is a ployed You
don't know that. In the fine line, you get a
pair to Covis. By the way, you also have to
put to thirty percent of your first debut record or
our songs, and we get two things.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Did I sign or you don't get it or you
don't get their boots? Oh man, there what you holding
out on me? Dude? I ain't even have even written.
For the longest time, I thought I thought y'all just
rote together. I mean we do. We do a lot. Yeah,
but it's not like it's not like we're not like

(15:13):
the Warren brothers.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, I would say we're probably like those guys on
a Talking Shade.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, totally shade. I mean they've they've had a ton
of success, no doubt. We just knew we should more
than maybe I should, maybe you should. I think I'm
I'm saying, why did you do that on Talking Shade?
Are you the older brother? You don't know? No, I
don't know. Okay, I guess you don't know this story
dude when we were born. No, I'm just kidding. There's

(15:39):
not one. Okay, good, if it was anything along the
lines of the motorcycle story, I was good. Please just guess.
I think I think you are the older brother, okay
by how much three years, dude, that.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
You possibly got it right more than anybody ever. Yeah,
people think he's older, but I am four years older
than that.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
No kidding, ye see it kind of and this is
totally like there's no correlation at all. Sure, but my dude,
you and my brother kind of look alike. Oh like,
just yeah, dude, he's doing different and dude, I just
feel like it's kind of kind of the same thing
you three years, three months? Is he a total asshole?
Where are you from? Lakeland, Florida? Just said that Florida,

(16:21):
But I mean, yeah, where is Lakeland? It's so it's
like fifty minutes east of Tampa, like an hour west
of Orlando. Well it was the cow pasture in between
both of them. But now it's just growing like a weed.
I always wonder why people live there in Florida. That
why you would live in Florida and not live on
the beach. That that doesn't make you sense to me, dude.

(16:42):
I mean I just kind of spawned there. It's not
really young. I mean I didn't really have a choice.
I was just like, good point, Yeah, dude, I just
came from the home from the hospital, and I was
I think maybe that quick should have been directed to
your parents instead of you. Why does anybody set up
like residents? Yeah, in mid state Florida, I don't get it.

(17:05):
Because the weather's got to be hot as bro it's brutal,
and the mosquitoes are the.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Size and the this like swallows sandy sticky small summer,
sandy sticky summer.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Dude is it kind of like Lower Alabama, dude, I
don't know. Central Florida is kind of its own like
thing like it's I mean you you just got sing
on LIVEPD. I think a little bit. Yeah, dude, my
town's definitely been. That's kind of how I know. Dude.
Our sheriff is like famous. So have you've ever seen

(17:38):
the there's like one sheriff that gets posted on everything.
Grady Judge. Great name. That's especially that's the next time
I call and impersonated off Grady Judge. Grady Judge. Dude,
my name on call of duty is Grady Jude. I
swear you can switch. That would be a great Judd Grady.

(17:59):
But yeah, I mean it get it gets pretty wild
down there, but duty is great. He I made it
my sheriff's name, that's great man. Ours was Sammy Davidson.
Remember that game Sammy Davids. That's Sammy Davis. That was.
Let's think of some more like, oh, he's a state

(18:19):
that's a state trooper. Dude all day long, dude, what
was Chris Wilcock? Did you on the fly on the spot?
I mean I literally dial and everyone was like, uh,
he was like, this is Chris Walker. I was like, okay,
will Cox was like I think I just took like

(18:42):
Chris Rosier, which was my high school coach, and mixed
it with a county I remember called Willcox County. I
don't wear that work. Was amazing.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Enough about cops, let's talk about you. We like to
start the show statement we call uh. We just get
mad sometimes and then sometimes.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
We get glad. To see jobs, CJ. What you mad?
Just tell us what it is? What you're mad at?
Is it your in lost kids? Might be a boss
man sing along with your neighbors cat What you mad? So?

(19:24):
Pretty good? There? That was cool, That was cool. That
was beautiful. Thanks man. I think I wrote down on
my phone what I was mad at, or maybe I
was glad today. I was mad. Oh you can be
mad and glad whatever you want to be. It's your
show's about you. But while it's about you, I'll tell
you mine. I got my cup today out of my
cup holder and I was trying to get a better

(19:45):
grip on it and I set it on my leg.
Oh no, pulled it up ring. Why Why is there
always stuff in the cup holder? Man? It always ends
up on a a circular. Something's leaking a half moon ring.
I know, is that in your in your in your truck.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, it's like when you don't put tops on your
coffee or something and you hit your drive and hit
a bomp.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
It just kind of and then you get a new
cup in there and it gets the sometimes.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's why sometimes I just stuff a napkin down in
there and put everything on a napkin.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
So it just sucks sucks everything up. But it do
with my trash cans too. I just don't think that
far ahead, dude. I'm just young. I'm like letting it, dude.
It's slashing around. And then they put those they put
those like speed bump things all over the Nashville now
and I'm like, apparently people are complaining about them messing
up their cars. I don't think that's happening. But he's
talking about seed but things all over now. They got
those little like speeds Yeah things. I'm like, dude, they're everywhere.

(20:43):
And that that'll that'll put you, that'll put a ring
on your jeans. Jeans. Uh, what are you mad? You glad?
You mad? Dude? I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
We literally didn't let him tell his Facebook marketplace story.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
We'll get to Oh, dude, it was just it was
just a little fine, you know. But dude, I think
the one thing that I'm mad at it happened a
few days ago now, But I was at the Florida
Georgia game this weekend and almost pulled it off. Y'all
almost pulled it off. Dude. That was a catch. It

(21:18):
was a catch. I'm not one to usually talk about officiating.
Everybody says that that is one. They say they're not one. Well,
but today I am. Dude, I am. I am not happy.
Remember the catch? Which what happened? I know I was
watching it. I'm trying to think about it too. I
don't I don't think I watched the game. So he
I will say, quarterback DJ Lagway, he throws this ball

(21:42):
a little bit short haired. Yes, this was like we
have an interim head coach. Yes, the week after he
got fired. Yes, yeah, I lost money on that game
because I didn't think Florida would even stand a chance
and they did. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I know, Oh that's the one where yeah, yeah, he
kneeled down on the one and didn't run it in
and I had mine up a minus seven and a half.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
They're up for breakout. Us, Dude, DJ DJ Lagway throws
this ball real short and our receiver goes and like
cups it and it never hit the ground. It like
hit it was on his arms the whole time. And
last year, dude, same game, freaking Georgia, there was a
ball that was halfway on the ground already and they

(22:22):
called it a catch, and I'm like, dude, they're they're
siding with somebody here in Jacksonville. So that's what I'm
pissed out for sure. Yeah, how about all this scandally.
It makes you wonder if you can really even like
fan duel games anymore.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Dude, like the NBA stuff so much like sketch going
on with cash betail coming for him withde I've.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Lost every like I have not won a dollar in
probably five months. I lost a lot, yes, and not
a lot of money, but a lot of I had
one one.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Dan's got a neighbor who's never lose this baking well
that's what Yeah, he's he sends us at least like
three a day that's like one hundred and in for
twelve hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Little I swear, Yeah, yeah, but if he sent them
to anybody, then they lose that's what happens that. Yeah, yeah,
call it what do you say? Play? What do you say?
Play of the day? Yeah, sometimes it works.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I set my alarm this morning, and when it went off,
I woke up like smiling because it made it. It
reminded me of dear like it my alarm reminds me
of dear season. That's the only time, that's the only
time it plays, is the only time I hear it.
So like when it was going off.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I was like, oh, man, like what is it. It's
just a it's just something on my phone, like a reflection,
I think, is what it's called. But the sound reminds
you of dear season because you say your alarm and
deer season. Yeah, because like I wake up a lot
to an alarm in deer season and time off. Yeah,
it was like six o'clock this morning and I hit
snooze one backsleep. But anyway, that's that's what I'm glad. Heck, yeah, no, mad,

(23:58):
you're not mad at anything. I'm not. No, I'm not
mad this morning. There, I'm mad every morning. I'm not mad.
There's always I got something. Uh, what's what's yours? Look like?
What are you? What are you doing? I've had, like,
I've had a pretty tough one. I had. I had
my target book in Velvet Season. Target book. Okay, so

(24:20):
we're working with someone who actually, dear hush, he knows good, dude.
So we wrote that, we wrote that awesome song. Remember
I remember that we wrote what was the name.

Of it, I'm getting better, get better drinking wrote right
below us with Josh getting better at drinking or something, yes,
or a drinking whiskey works at drinking.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Alright, you pulled it back, you pulled it all right,
so legit, dear hunter. Yeah, he wrote the weekend or
like the week before velvet So you were you told
me about that deer and you were going after that
I did. I showed you that deer, I think, dude,
just like huge a pointer Tennessee. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so dude,

(25:17):
Velvet Season. I'm out there and this this deer comes
in at like last light. And I didn't realize how
velvet weekend but three day weekend, yeah, and I'm weekend, dude.
It was brutal and I was sitting I'm sitting where
the sunsets. I don't have shade on my side, so
I was dude, I was sweating, cooking. I'm surprised that

(25:37):
thing even like wanted to come there. Yeah. So I'm
sitting there and like he comes in at last light, dude,
And I'm blind as a bat either way, but without
the sunshine in your eyes. Yeah, And I just found
out that I'm blind like last year. So I'm still
adjusting to these contacts, right, and it's already dark enough,
like it's last light. What's your prescription? Oh, dude, I

(26:00):
don't know, like negative something, dude. I just know it
is the one I pick up from the store. Like,
I have no idea what to drive if you don't
have your contact in. I shouldn't, but I can. I
think I'm legally blind. I'm legally blind without mine. We're
legally blind. Oh no kidding, Yeah, all right, y'all are
probably we're blind. Yeah I wouldn't. I wouldn't know your
face like this to see who you are. Oh all right,

(26:23):
go sorry anyways, So dude, I'm like, I missed this
deer shot right under him, dude, and I was pissed.
Twenty seven yards you saw him and shot you shot
at him? Oh yeah, dude, I shot. I missed, completely whiffed,
and I was like, I'm just you know, I was happy.
I was happy I made a clean miss. Yeah. And
then I go back in there, like this was probably

(26:47):
a month, a couple of weeks ago now, and I
go in there, same deer. I watched the neighbors horses
chase this deer onto our property and he comes on
a bee line, straight down this trail, straight towards me.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, you say chase this deer.
You mean they literally like dogged him out of dude.

(27:08):
They were like, yeah, I've never seen that. They were
literally right, I never heard of that, dude. It was crazy,
and they were just falling along the fence side. He
jumped the fence and was coming straight towards me, and
I was like, oh my gosh, dude, it shout out horses. Yeah, dude,
come on, dude, you knew a quarter horse would just
chase a trail due. He's coming to me, and I

(27:28):
had plenty of lon. I'm like, this is perfect, gets
over to me, right draw back, I'm a full draw, hit,
the trigger on the release string comes off, both cams,
bow shoots down. Top of the bow just shoots straight down,
and I'm like, oh, my god, dude. Yeah, my boat
literally blew up in my hand. Oh my goodness. The

(27:51):
deer runs five yards, turns around and looks at me
like I'm the dumbest person on the planet. Yeah, dude,
middle fingers of the what are you gonna do? And
I didn't know what happened at the time, so I'm like,
oh my god, dude, I got to get another arraw.
So I get another era out and I got to
put it on the bow, and the dude, the string
is like wrapped around the wrapped around the limb, and

(28:13):
I'm like, bro, there ain't no, I ain't got a
bow press out here, so I just have to wait
for this deer to like walk off and he's a dude.
It was terrible, but yeah, that's my that's my season.
So sorry for asking, dude. It so bad. So I'm
not gonna put the I'm not going to put the
bow brand on blast Okay, so don't say the bow brand.
But was it like a newer bow or this is

(28:34):
an old granddaddy's kind of thing, Daddy's bow. It's dude,
the bow is like a twenty twenty two model. I
won't don't, dude. Yeah, they are saying we should we
just blast I don't care, na, Okay, they sent it
to me for free a couple of years ago to
try it out. Brue Town, I killed dude. I killed

(28:56):
the biggest deer in my life with this bow. I
was fully confident in it, and it just took a
poop on me. Yeah, it did completely in the moment, dude,
I mean bottom of the night. Like broe know how
it is like when you're like gone on the grounder, dude,
Like like you you had two outs. You just needed
to pitch it the first second, Basement missed the grounder

(29:16):
on that one. Brother. The deer was like twenty yards
and that bow shot down and that arrow I'm not
kidding you, Like the arrow went like ten yards in
front of me, straight into the ground. Like, ah, dude,
it just it just ate my lunch. Okay, So now
let's talk about you said you killed your biggest dude
the same thing. Yeah, that's something interesting in that story

(29:38):
as well. Okay, just tell me the state we're in,
so Tennessee. Okay, I met this girl. You're for real,
for real hunter, like like a big hunter. Oh yeah,
I love it. Come on, man, I love it. So
I met this girl and she was like, you'll find
out in Nashville. You probably already have a lot of
people say they are but they aren't. Dude. I mean
I had to like teach myself pretty much everything, and like,

(30:01):
thankfully when I move it up here, I have some
buddies that are like, hey, dude, if you want to
come hunt, like that's cool. But in Florida, dude, I
when I was growing up, like, I didn't do it
too much down there. Yeah, just because the deer like
the size of Jack Russells. Yeah yeah, they're just tiny. Yeah,
totally different. So I get up here and I'm like,
holy crap, they're they're huge up here to me. But

(30:24):
you haven't been out to Kansas, dude, Nick. Yeah, you know, dude,
we've talked about going for the last like two or
three years, but I forget every year that you have
to like put in for a drawl. Yeah, and I
miss it every April, And I'm like, dang, dude, because
he's from there. Dude, if y'all haven't seen his he

(30:44):
has one deer that he killed out there called he
called him stickers. Dude. It is massive. I'll show you that.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
It's crazy just about every house when you go out there.
Every like local boy you meet out there that hunts,
has that deer whatever stickers is seen that deer, Yeah,
has that stickers in his house. No kidding, dude, there
was a guy killed one this year that we know.
I mean, just an monstrosity. What's the drive, the price ground?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
They were good. I didn't. I just I didn't get
into it until a little bit like later on in life.
My dad passed away when I was pretty young, so
my mom obviously, dude, this is actually crazy. So back
in Florida, we had like, we had lizards, dude that
would just like, I mean, they're everywhere, and lizards do that.

(31:34):
Well that was my extent of like, honey, when I
was a kid, like yeah, you didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Know where I was going, but you guys ever seen
those things that got four legs like crawl in Florida,
snakes them tongue, But dude, I did that.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Me and my brother would run around with these little
like red rider BB guns and just shoot, dude, pop lizards.
And my mom was like, hey, you got to like
you got to eat what you kill, right, And so
my mom walks out there and We didn't know no
better at this time, but we got like a pod. Okay.
My mom put the fear of God in us. She

(32:14):
was like, if the next lizard you kill, I'm putting
them all in a pan and you're eating them all.
And I'm like, not a lizard, right, Like, we're not
doing that. It's got a backstra out. So then that
was what I was like, all Right, I gotta I
gotta like find a way to go deer hunt so
I don't have to eat lizards. You moved to Tennessee. Well,
my family had a place in North Carolina, so I

(32:34):
would hunt up there and just yeah, man, I'm asking this.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I like asking this question to people that I know
but not really well. But where if you had one
one day mm hmm to hunt one thing in one.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Place, where would it be? Any time of the year,
whe would it be? Would you be doing? Dude? I've
I've had the same answer for this for a while
because I've thought about this a lot. Red stag in
New Zealand, that would be bo. I want to go
kill a red stag with my bow in New Zealand
on the mountains. When do you start touring? I got

(33:10):
the guy do you actually when do you go over there?
I got you. Yeah, I'll go with you. We go
with you? Yeah, dude, please, they went. I mean that's
that's where that came from. No kidding, the tar Have
y'all killed a red stag? I killed that instead of
a red stag? Dude? Oh my god? Yeah that was
Is this like a mountainous animal? Animal? Oh yeah, yeah,
that they call it king. They call that animal king

(33:32):
of the mountain over there. Oh literally. Yeah. So we
went we tar hunted, and uh, I've got to see
a couple of guys get tars. Yeah, I mean sorry stags.
And I was like, man, it will be cool. We
went after one of those, and he was like, that's
what he wanted. The god wanted to do. He wanted
to go. Yeah, because you got a hunt with the god.

(33:52):
You can't just like go it's too much. You gotta
go with a god. But I got a guy. Yeah,
so ready for it, we should go. He's awesome. Yeah,
Well I'll go. They he would lose his He'll hear
this and lose his mine over the roaring, like the
roar and the stagged up they're failthy dude. No, I'm
not gonna. I mean they are awesome. Is it like

(34:14):
I mean, is it like a is it like an elk?
I mean it's not as heavy. It don weigh as much.
And the weird thing about that over there is the seasons, right. So,
like we were over there in September and it was
like freezing cold, like they had just come out of rut. Right.

(34:35):
Oh god, so like our their winter is it's like Zach,
it's weird really yeah, So they were coming out of
their winter when we hadn't even really started our winter
over here. Oh got you got you gotch so like
but we did it. We hunted mountains. Uh. There was
a neighbor that came by that like had a bunch

(34:56):
of sheep and he had cut a bunch of chops
up and like was just grilling them on the we
like come down from the mountain and he'd just be like, hey, boys,
had to go there, you know whatever. It was pretty good.
It feels kind of fever dream. It kind of feels
like a fever dream. Yeah, that that that actually happened.
But the dude that Jim's great, Jim Gibson's Jimmy Gibson. Yeah,

(35:19):
he's awesome, crazy man, let us go. When you go,
let us go. If y'all know the guy I got,
I guess you don't know.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
If he knows, we could. We're the liaisons to a
lot of country music.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
We booked. Yeah, yeah, a lot of people. We booked
some stuff. Sounds like it played. But he's ready. He's
sitting over there, ready, Jim Gibson. That's his name, dude,
He's awesome. Does he know Chris? He should. He doesn't
know that he does. He definitely does. New Zealand's so
far shout out New Zealands.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
F Hey, do you still have remember with Justin Moore
we did the More or Less game?

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah? You still have the Oh my gosh, let's still
have the list? I mean, I can look, we could
do we could do. Is it the same? We want
to do the same list and we want to make
some stuff up. Yeah. Man, I don't think people remember
McCoy more or less, McCoy more or less of this
or that? Love it the game we played with Justin Moore.
I'm amazing how I put that in though, Dude, it's

(36:21):
in your notes for sure. I mean, I'm looking, Yeah,
do you remember any of them? Huh? I just remember
one with shirts off? Yeah, dudes on stage with shirts off.
More typing shirts. Oh like McCoy more of that or
McCoy less of that. Dudes with their shirts off in
country music stage. McCoy less of that. Okay, for sure,
I can't find a list. I just had to make

(36:43):
a one. Okay, you make up one. Okay, Okay, you're
hard to make up on the spot. I know what.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
I think we have a phone. You hear the little
radio static new guy radio static? I think we it's
time for new guy ray this random question of the day.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Make it you make right? What's up? God's my god?
All right? This is this is the first time that
our listeners are hearing got right. Oh, I'm excited about this. Sorry,
I'm going to feedback on the radio all that fun stuff. Hey,

(37:24):
if your mom heard you were arrested, what would she
think it was? For question? Right? Right? Hey, that's a
great spot to to come in and interject it out
hat All right. I feel like my mom, not like
I'm not that crazy dude. Like, you know, you look
a good boy dude for the most part. Boy, I

(37:47):
was a good little boy dude me too. But I
feel like my mom thinks that, Like, my mom just
thinks I'm a rock star at this point. So she's like,
it would probably be like public intoxication or something, just like, dude,
it would be that kind of thing. But I don't
even I don't even drink like that. Yeah really, but
I think that would be the thing. I don't think
she would be like, oh, yeah, McCoy did something crazy. Yeah,

(38:09):
what would you your mom seems me yeah, yeah, uh
we have the same mom.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Man, I see, I'm the same thing. I'm the same
And even like even when I was single and and
like lived in Nashville by like on a boat, I
still didn't do anything crazy on a boat. It would
probably be like this is not I don't know why.
It would probably be like manslaughter because of my driving.
Like if I hit like a walker.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
You are the worst.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
That would probably she'd be like he was he was looking,
he saw a deer in a field and hit somebody
on the.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
I'm not sure about the segment anymore, right, I thought
it sounded like a good IDEA great question, right, Yeah,
I like that segment. That's that's sure. I mean I
don't really drink either, so what would I do? I
would probably like indecent exposure or something like that. Wow,

(39:08):
what like peeing on side of the highway? Okay, what'd
you think of something? I don't know, it's streaking through,
I don't know. Yeah, No, I'm saying like occasionally you
think they're gonna you think you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I'll just say that be paying at the diner in
Santa Fe. They're gonna roll up.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I love that we reacted worse to that than manslaughter.
We're like, hell, no, dude, you probably should have just
said bad driving, hitting another call, reckless driving. That manslaughter.
That's it's on the manslaughter huh. Never have you know?
I'm wanted them. I don't feel like you have to

(39:45):
pull into a Texico every time you're head of the
beach and you got a T T. Man. I feel
like you can just kind of whip it off and
rip it off and get back on the highway. Right.
The problem with having a thought whip it off was
the right. The problem is just like a thout, you
have a thousand kids and you stop, everybody wants to pee, right,

(40:06):
So like it turns into this whole eighteen minute side
of the road thing. But honestly, I feel like, that's
a little cleaner than some of those textacos we hit
on the way down. Amen, absolutely do like, just let
her go, son, let her go and let her grow.
You know some of those gas station bathrooms or that
one where both toilets were overflowing when we were in there,
I still peeed in it. We were headed to a

(40:27):
duck hunt and we were ankle deep and overflowing water,
just and I'm like, why are we even in here? Bro?
Why didn't we just walk out back? And I get,
I get. Women don't don't have this luxury. Yeah, luxury
that we have. I mean, it's it's one of God's
greatest skiffs, agreed, man, one of God's great being on

(40:50):
side for sure, Dude, I think it is one of God's.
It is for Bro that you said, it's a same
title a minut ago that I'm putting in on my
phone that we're going right next. I love it. Maybe
I'll cut that one, probably not reads on. Maybe we should, Yeah,
all right, what's all right? Yeah, we're talking about music, guys.

(41:13):
I probably guys. I mean, there's nothing wrong with hunting.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
So you you're a pandemic that you moved during the pandemic.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Here, right, bro, heart of COVID, just like, yeah, I
mean I had some my roommates that I moved here,
that I moved up here with. They were already like
living up here. I was making trips and just crashing
on couches and they called me and they're like, hey,
we just kicked a roommate out if you want to
come up here. And I was up here two weeks

(41:44):
later and just never left. Really, do you know why
that roommate got kicked out? Oh, dude, Yeah, I don't know.
Like if I should tell that complete story, there's one
little oh, dude like, yeah, I'll tell you, dude seven
they're the worst, dude. The problem I will not say

(42:07):
is nothing stinky and bad roommate. The problem is the
reason that he got kicked out involves me. Nice. Sorry,
maybe I shouldn't have asked that question. Well you don't
have to do it. I didn't do anything wrong, dude,
So this was back Call him out, dude, call him
out right now, dude, I ain't doing that, y'allmight No,

(42:27):
I don't know. I doubt it. But anyways, he had
a record deal. Then I'm like, yeah, they're just girl
his girlfriend. We were all at the house and his
girlfriend asked me, I had this like little I used
to do that vaping stuff because you know, it was
in the it was in the heat of the mister.
I was doing that at one point and this girl

(42:49):
like asked me for my vape and I gave it
to her, and dude, he got pissed. He got pissed.
Dude pissed. We're out by the fire. He comes out
there just hot on me. Dude. Oh yeah, dude, dude, yeah,
as she asked, yeah, bro, she walks out there and
or he walks out there mad as fire at me
and then goes back inside with her and she comes

(43:12):
back out asked me for it again. I said, yeah,
I gave it to her again. Dude, he got pissed,
got drunk, went and punched a tree, not kidding, and
they kicked him out to go. He was gone and
I was here. I wouldn't be a Nashville I love

(43:33):
that dude. Shout out to that guy punching that guy.
He's punching this crazy but the tree one, I bet
I bet he didn't do much to that tree. You know,
I've known I've known cats like that. They just looking
for something to get mad at, dude, Yeah, find something
to be glad at. So I think the question is
was he mad at you giving her the vape? Or

(43:57):
was he I mean, was he mad that she was vaping?
Or was it she he mad because she was getting
it from you? I think because she was getting it
from me. Hot boy boy comes in here with hot
boy McCoy. Dude, I just strolled in strong, probably better
voice than artist. Dude. It was it was nuts and hey,

(44:19):
thank god, dude, thank god happened? You know? So what
did like?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
What was your when you when you came town? It's
COVID like, what was your what'd you do? We were like,
I'm gonna try to write with dudes. I'm gonna'm gonna
put out content like.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
What well I knew the I knew my roommates. That
was pretty much it. And then me and Josh Phillips
knew each other just through like social media and stuff
like that, and they would I mean, I would write
with those guys and everything. But it was kind of
nice because I was nineteen at the time, so I would.
I would literally just I mean, I had no choice.

(44:56):
I couldn't go to the bar even if I wanted to,
I didn't. I just couldn't. And they couldn't either, because
they it was COVID and nobody wanted to stand up
the whole damn time, so they would, I mean, they
would stay home. We would just write songs until stuff
opened back up. But my first year here was just
like staying at home on the weekends with my buddies

(45:16):
and writing songs and all that. So I just got
to I mean I didn't. I didn't do anything but
that for the first little bit here. It's probably a
crash course in songwriting though. Honestly, Oh my gosh, yeah,
absolutely I found I mean I found out how bad
I was when I got here for sure, and that's normal.
Yeah that's okay. But through it, yeah man, I mean

(45:37):
I figured it out. Yeah, I figured it out. So
but yeah, that's I mean, that's how I got into
it when I got here. So were you like, I
can't go play shows, I should social media this stuff?
Or how did you? I mean, I did the social
media thing, but honestly, I was just like, dude, I
want to I want to be able to write, Like
if I'm going to post something on social media, I
want the songs to be good. Yeah, at least. So

(45:58):
I just wrote songs for a while and then I
signed a pubdial in twenty twenty three. Smack. Yeah, so
I've been over there for a while now. But I
was just like song first, like I want to make
sure that my songs are getting better, and I'm not
I put it. I put out a few songs back
back then, though. Yeah, I wasn't wasn't too proud of
I think that's I think I'm smart man.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
I will any and you didn't even have a choice
to do that, But I think you know, there's different
routes to take, but I feel like that route for
a new artist is probably one of the best because
like artists, artists come to town. Young artists come to
town with a pocket, maybe a pocket full of songs.
Maybe they don't have any, yeah, but if they're eager
to put stuff out, they're just putting out you know that,
Like they wrote by theirselves, they wrote with their buddies

(46:41):
back home, and no, there ain't no problem with that.
But if you can come to town as a young
artist and just dig your claws in and meet some
guys who've been writing some songs or get in the
room with some guys who are who've written some pro songs,
you know, like in grind for a couple of years.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Like you can get great songs.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
You can get great songs, and then you kind of
got some bullets to put the gun and go out
and eat.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
He was talking. That was that was hunting rapids, not
not murder dude. Uh early cats that you that you
you still hanging with them, you still write with them. Yeah, man,
So Dylan Marlowe, Tyler Chambers, Nick Walsh, Bryce Malden, Derek Austin,

(47:25):
those guys that was kind of like me, Me, Bryce
and Derek were the ones living in the house together.
Nice when I first got here. But yeah, man, those
those are my guys. They're the best. Man awesome, they're
the best. A lot of a lot of Georgia in
that group, man, I'm kind of for me and Bryce
are the outliers.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
A lot of good songs coming out of that group
to stuff straight. I've I've always enjoyed Tyler stuff.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah me too, man. Them boys are then boys are awesome. Yeah,
I love those guys. That's cool and then good So
then you get over to smack you start writing more songs,
you start putting some stuff out out covid ends visually. Yeah,
I I was. I was just steady writing. I mean
I met I met Nick me and Nick kind of
he was he was the guy that kind of took

(48:11):
me under, took me under his wing, and we would
go and write with pretty much every I mean everybody.
Every day, every Tuesday, we had a we had a
write and everything. And that's still my best buddy. He's
he's on a lot of this stuff that I'm putting out.
But I did that for a couple of years and
I didn't really even I didn't have a direction for

(48:32):
being an artist or this or that or the other.
I was just like, I love I don't know what
I'm doing, but I love it. And so it kind
of just it worked out really well. I signed over
at the Neil Agency a couple of years ago and
those guys have been awesome for me. And then sign
over at Sony this year and it's just been great. Dude.
I've been working my tail off. Yeah, I've seen I've

(48:55):
seen you.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
So you got the you got the EP out, you

there's a buzz around it like there's you know, like
that like like we were talking about it too. If
I was telling Dan, I was like, man, like, I
was like, it feels like a like a like a
like a Dylan Marlowe kind of thing, Like when when
the name gets thrown out, when somebody says that name,
everybody's like, oh, they're interested in in Dylan Marlowe, you know,

(50:23):
like as a young artist. And I feel like you're
there too, Like I feel like your name across Town
is one that people are watching and and are excited about.
And just listening to the EP and the songs. Man,
it feels new but familiar at the same time, like
thanks bro. It's uh, I know you're young, but you
don't you don't sound young. You you don't write young
like you've got You've got good content and songs and

I mean this this told the last year has been
just crazy for me. And watch it. I mean, eating
everybody and doing all this stuff is so much fun.
And I finally feel like, you know, I've found I
found who I am and what I want to say
in my direction and that that is the most rewarding
part of it. Yeah, once you get that, it's it's

(51:13):
just put the pedal down and go now. Yeah, it's
just you know what I'm trying to say, what I'm
trying to do, and who I want to be. You know.
Tell me about John Dear blue Man. That's the one
that got me, dude. I that was my first time
writing with the owner of Smack, Shane mcinally may have
heard of him, yeah, may have heard written pro day
dude day. And so that was our first time, right,

(51:36):
and I had no idea what to expect at all, Like,
I had never written with him, and he doesn't he
doesn't even live in town anymore. He comes comes to town,
so he was coming to town. I knew me and
Johnny right all the time, Johnny Clawson and uh so
we saw we saw Shane pap Umble encounter. Me and
Johnny are like, dude, we got to get our ideas together. Yeah, yeah,
we're going to go crush this, right. So we go

(51:58):
in there. Shane says this idea and just like totally whatever,
we're not we're not using one of ours, and we
start writing the song and then Johnny in the middle
of the song used John dere Blue as like a line,
and I was like, dude, that's kind of like more
interesting to me, and so we we chased that. We

(52:19):
chased that down, and dude, I knew, I mean I
pretty much knew as soon as we were done, and
I was gonna cut it it just I love I
love the reference and the flip on it and everything.
And then whenever I signed over at Sony, they were like,
we want this to be the first, the first one
that we put out. So oh, I didn't know that
that's the first one is already out that. Yeah, it's out. Awesome, dude. Yeah,

(52:40):
and one of three three here in Nashville has been
playing it a couple other places, so it's been I
guess p EP's out or it's out too, Yeah, AP's out. Okay,
we got it. We're jamming it. I was listening to
it and I was like, man, this is something about
this one's stickish, you know, Yeah, great songs sound awesome.
It's been it's been fun to see like you know,
you go and I played. I played a few shows

(53:00):
on the West Coast with Hardy this year and it's
like you can see people even singing it just from
hearing it on like their radio station in Bakersfield or whatever.
That and that was like the coolest, the coolest thing
for me. And that's the one everybody everybody back home
knows it because they're playing it down there, and that's
the one that everybody freak. That's cool, really cool. Man.

(53:23):
All right, dude, Well thanks for coming out. Bro. Thanks.
I gotta go pick up a freezer. Man, before we
get out of here. I want to say, Luke told
me a story about you, and let me see if
this job. Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh,
then you tell it. I'd rather you tell it, dude,
I want to know. I want to know what He's
his very quick, he just said, and this is I

(53:45):
think you were there when he told us this. I
had never listen. Man, I got three kids and they're
all under six. Yeah. My head been under a rock
for the passport. I don't know anything about anything, so
don't take any offense of what I'm saying. But I
hadn't heard of you. I hadn't heard of anything. And
then he said, man, I was talking to Luke and
he said, Man, you know what let me tell you
a crazy story. And I said, okay, and help me
fill in because this was like once back, I mean yeah,

(54:07):
a year ago when he told me this. He said
he was playing a show and maybe he like somehow
got into the crowd or something or was a meet
and greet or so you want me to tell you
the story, sure, because now I know what story it is. Okay,
Well you have multiple stories with him. Well that was
like the first time we met. Yeah, that's what that's
the one he was talking. Yeah. So I was I

(54:29):
was dating this girl back in Florida high school. You know,
you think you're gonna marry this person. Yeah, totally not.
But me and her were dating and she got me
tickets to Luke Colmbs. I was watching Luke on Fine
and I was just like, dude, this big dude with
a red beard is like freaking good. Yeah, like this
is awesome, right, And he reminded me of just like

(54:51):
one of my buddies up the road in Florida. So
I was like, if you know, like if he can
do this and like he's making it happen like normal, me,
I can do that, right, And so I was just
so inspired by that and I love I love the stuff.
And this girl bought me these tickets and he was
opening for Brantley and Tampa at the Amphitheater. And they

(55:14):
should call that the Tampa Theater. Dude, that is so good.
Why don't they do that? How I never thought about it.
We can have that Tampa theater. Dude. Yeah, you send
it down, send it down. But dude, we go my Uh,
my mom. We split up, me and that girl in
between the I thought you and your mom split up.
I was like, so solidly hit me and my mom

(55:35):
we split up. I was a little typo in my
words there, but uh use of a comment. Yeah, dude,
she got me those tickets for my birthday. My mom
ended up buying me better tickets before the show came around,
and I gave those to my brother. And so we
go to the show and my mom had gotten me
meet and greets for the show. We go up there
before and uh, I asked, it's funny because y'all asked

(55:57):
me the same question that I asked Luke in the
Angry because I was just like, dude, I was scared
to death to talk about music I had. I knew nothing.
So you're like what would your mom think you would
go to prison for. You're like, if you had one
day to where it was literally that yeah, because you
probably ate that up. That's a great thing he did,

(56:18):
like Africa or something. Oh yeah, right, but my dude,
my mom is like, shoot, oh hood phones not a thermost,
but dude. So my mom was like, if you had
any advice, what would you say for a kid that
wants to do what you do? And I'm like, Mom, please, no, right,

(56:43):
but right, Luke's all like, Luke's super nice, and we
go back to our seats whatever. So then like right
before Hurricane, the last song at the time, I think
it just went number one, and he's like, like, I
met this kid. He walks out with the sign record
and he's like, I met this kid in my meet

(57:05):
and greet and you know, I saw a lot of
myself and him, and I see him he's sitting right
there and points at me. No way this part of
the story, dude. So I'm behind I'm behind a phone,
like my little phone recording the whole thing. Like I'm
like so pumped to go home and watch watch the
show again. Right, And so my mom's like, McCoy go

(57:26):
and I dropped the phone and run up there and
grab this things CD. We go back to the seats
and my mom like, I'm I'm like losing it at
this point, right, I'm sixteen. So what does he say
from the stage, I met this guy. I see a
lot of myself in and then I want to give
him a CD. I remember, Yeah, he was like I
remember what it was like when I was first starting out.

(57:47):
And I see him, he sitting right there, points at me. There,
I have a video of this, I'll show you. Yeah,
I want to see this pretty it's pretty crazy. Yeah,
And so then I go back to the seats and
my mom's like, hey, I'm gonna run to the bathroom
real quick. I'm like okay, So she goes, she like
walks away, and sure enough calls me like two minutes later,
she's like, hey, can you come over here. I'm like yeah,

(58:10):
And she's with Ethan Strunk and your mom's a dog
rob Yeah, dog dude. I don't know what transpired, but
I walk up there and I'm like, dude, this is
the craziest thing in the world. Sure enough, Ethan's like, yeah, man,
you'll come back. So we go back there Luke's chilling,
smoke a cigarette, just hanging out and we went on

(58:32):
the bus for like an hour and a half and
he gave me a bunch of advice and no way,
that's awesome and that not dude. I didn't even like
I didn't even play it. No accord on the guitar,
like nothing, never sang, never played like wow. And I
went home that night and that was the That was
when I was like, Okay, I'm going to learn how
to play. What a great story. I'm glad you take

(58:55):
that crazy. Sorry I tried to end the episode. It's
pretty wild though, I mean it changed, seriously changed my life.
Unreal since yeah, I mean I saw play the Bootleggers.
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah we've seen We've seen each
other a few times down the road. I'm super happy
for man. How cool is that? Kids? And just like

(59:15):
it's crazy watching a live move on, like, bro, we
life go on, We are in it ueah, we all
have how many boat we're in getting done?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
They don't have any more seats. I'm getting pulled over
by the by the t w R A on the
water Man. We wouldn't have enough life jackets, all right,
that's not we have to.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Do everything huge now because there's so many kids, like
they invited us to do when we were we were
down there and did the he was like, man, let's
have a we do one beach day every week or
every time we're down there. We'll just get all right
this for the boot. Yeah, because I allways take our families. Right.
So we go to his house and there's this like
swimming pool. It's probably like a thirty by forty. It's

(59:55):
not huge, it's just a regular size. Yeah, pool thirty
by forty is huge? Is it? Like? Maybe?

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Okay, maybe maybe twenty by ten, twenty by thirty by forties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
That is a huge pool. Fifteen by thirty I'm thinking
in barn, I'm thinking, yeah, oh sorry, dude, okaytes got
a bit shot. Calm down, everybody sit. I'm not letting
you just say anymore. Get away with it, all right,
I'm doing feet? Are y'all doing feet? Are your yarding?
Thirty by forty feet? Feet? That's still a big pool, dude. Okay,

(01:00:30):
this was a small pool. Ten by let's go ten
by twenty it was bigger than that. Ten by thirty.
We're only gonna sixteen by thirty and it's not as
big as you think. Whatever, dude. So we get there
and they have like you know when you when you're
that huge, just they just have people doing stuff, right,
there's just people doing stuff. Yeah, You're like, you don't

(01:00:51):

or if he's like the guy making the sandwiches, because
there's people everywhere. Yeah, dude, So we go to the beach,
the other girl making sure all the ducks stay in
the pool, like the thousand ducks. This gal thanks for
just completely highjacking story dumps a box of like I'm
serious estimate. Apparently my estimations are off today, but I

(01:01:15):
would say between three and four hundred ducks, little duckies, dude.
And they had like like there was like colonial ducks,
then there was like rap artist ducks. Then there was
like army duck, Camo ducks. They were all different, and
so our kids are like, what I mean, there's just ducks.

(01:01:36):
Funny world it is, I mean that whole. But but
it's like you're just trying to get some sort of
constant entertainment so that you can look at it and go, hey, man,
how's it going good? Okay, good, good see you. Even though, yeah,
even though you spent eight hours with that person in
a day, three minutes worth of conversation, maybe clean conversation,

(01:02:01):
aid hanger is different existence with it because we all
have I got three hundred six, he's got two under three.
Uh Luke's got two under three, about to have another one.
I mean it is. It's pretty wild, y'all. I mean, godly, dude,
that's it's got to be cool though, like watching like well,

(01:02:24):
I mean watching your friends have kids and y'all having
kids at the same time and stuff, because I'm I'm like,
I have all sorts of buddies back home even here
that are having kids, and it's so cool to watch.
And I'm dude, I'm like uncle Ku, dude, freaking love.

right right and all the time, hanging out, going to
the bars, doing the thing, playing the shows, traveling.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
We did. We did all that stuff too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
But but like, there comes a point where you meet
a girl and then then you marry a girl, then
you have kids with the girl, and you move out
of Nashville and you kind of move separate ways, but
like you still are are tight knit enough to like
you you, I mean us and Luke and and and
a bunch of other people in the town that we
that were buddies with have had conversations about like dad

(01:03:15):
struggles and and like, you know, you just to do
life together at the same pace. And it's a lot

girl that they think they had two little turtles. Turtles
and they named it one Dila and the other was Marlow. Like,

Like they don't even like, yeah, text them both. They
literally don't even know. I don't even think they they know,
