What first came out. The first thing that came out
was a gaza of water out from under my The
second thing that has come out goes Jordan said. Read it's leaking.
And when she means leaking, she means shooting furious guys
or furiously out from under my sink. And I mean
it's coming up so much that it's hitting the bowl
under my cabinets, so it's it's flying out the top
(06:52):
of the cabinet. And then and then do just a
water fall, dude coming under it and I mean like
in that moment, I'm panicking and I just say towels,
which towels doesn't cure anything in that moment, So she
gets it. She doesn't gets every tower we're just throwing
on there. I'm freaking. I'll tell her. I'm like, hey,
this is bad, Like this is real bad. We got
to figure this out immediately. I'm like, okay, run and
(07:13):
turn the water off. Got to get the water off.
So I run outside. I'm like in my underwear, this
is ten thirty at night. Run outside, flip the water
meter open, and you can't turn the meter by that.
You got to have the tool. And so, by the
grace of the Lord God all Mighty, when we bought
that house, I was like probably looking at Instagram or
something in it like because we just bought a house.
(07:34):
It was like, hey, one tool you have to need
you need is and I knew exactly where it was.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I know I don't have one. Do you have one?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah? And I know exactly where it is because I've
dealt with this before.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
If you're a homeowner, go get one.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, even if you're not.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Bro through my front yard to open the garage door.
I grabbed it off the little peg board thing ran
out there, shut it off.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
We got the water off. It came through my garage
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You saw it coming through the seam or something.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, when I was running to the garage, I looked
up and it was like there was hot it was
it was the hot water. It was the hot water.
So anyway, got the water off. That guy my dad knows,
came over Sunday morning cut a little man whole size
in my garage and we went up in there and
fixed it up. So we're good now.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But yeah, you met Georgia. I thought that's what we
were getting to. The Yeah, I'm mad at two things,
and I'm trying to decide which one to go with
because I don't want to like look down on the
working man. But at the same time.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I wasn't interested.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, okay, all right, well then I'll just do them both.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
One is now, I say, the other one can got
a podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well you just said too, it's too it's to day.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Mine kind of does the water stop driving so fast
by the end of my driveway, people, I'm tired of that,
tired of that, ti of people driving fast on roads
that require you to not drive fast.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's extremely curvy. Kids everywhere quid driving so faster than.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's always cars.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Secondly, this has to do with my vehicle. If I'm
driving to your neighborhood, how about not pointing the blower
of your mower at my vehicle? Would I go by,
bro when you're edging just like this, dude, just them
over and across.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, I didn't like it, just.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Slinging gravel all over himself. I mean cars, it's just bleeding.
So one edger is a weed eater basically turned sideways
that you're cutting the lines on the concrete.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh boy, just let's clean up.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Just scattered the side of my truck, dude. And I'm
just like, man, if I had time, I would turn
around and politely ask you. Yeah, there there is a
thing about but look, mower, go make your money, dude.
I'm not looking down the worst. I've done it myself.
(10:01):
I've done my time.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You know what I'm saying. But there's some etiquette too.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, you just turn the side of the mower. That
isn't uh, you know, blowing the rocks out. Just just
do a little whit.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, sometimes you can't.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Sometimes you have to, Like if you're trying to like
like manicure, like really strip a yard or something. You
got to go one way, but if a car is coming,
just turn, just get off the side and turn the mow,
just turn the blade off, let them pass. And here's
the thing too, I don't know, I'm not I have
a motorcycle. Actually I kept pretty much don't have a
motorcycle anymore, hadn't seen it in ten years. But uh
literally literally it's is long story. But I have heard that, like,
(10:37):
don't blow your grass onto the road really because it can.
Yeah it can. Like cars, it's not gonna matter, but
motorcycles can. It can actually like mess with the traction
of the wheels on the on the uh on the road.
So it's like it's unsafe to blow your clippings on
the on.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
The I still do it.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
That's unsafe because I'm I whip that truck around and.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Right not very politely, nice little week.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
He's a big turnament you mad anything, Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Man, I'm pretty good right now. I might, I might,
I might piggyback off you man. I feel it's like
everyone's getting in res and just holding up traffic, like
not bad ones, just like I can't drive in Nashville
and I'm from here. I feel like I've just gotten
stuck behind so many fender benders, not even Rex, and
it's like, dude, just quick, you know what it is
in front of.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You right here? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So you're from here.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, and it's never been like.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Let's talk about traffic. When you started driving, there wasn't.
There wasn't traveling when I started driving. None, No, man,
I would ever.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I would come from Brentway down to you know, Granny White,
to David Lipscomb and go too. There wasn't traffic. There
wasn't Nobody cared about Broadway, nobody cared about going downtown.
Speaker 1 (11:48):

Yeah, you've seen it. I've seen thirty, thirty, thirty five,
I'm about to be thirty five. Yeah that's a I'm

Speaker 2 (12:01):

Yeah, you know, Charlie is gone. But yeah, I love
the Yeah, Applebee's is always great. But yeah, it's I
don't know, I just like I like to change a
little bit. But the traffic and the people, man, there's
some people coming in here that I don't like.

stories from where wait you also, yeah, he's it is
a screaming bit.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Sorry that he can.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, it's real.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The first song you ever played live though, Mary, did
you know at church?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's the vocal band too. Bro, that's that's Mark Lowry.
That's that's uh guy Penrod. Who's the guy David Phelps.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
David Phelps.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Dude, you don't know if you're watching right now or
listening right now and don't have never heard David Phelps sing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Let's just go full gather even because.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Bill, Yeah, he's still a beast.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Down at Columbia, looking good, gray hair, looking like Jesus
down there, sounding like him too, probably, But dude, David
Phelps at one point, and I mean I'll even say
it today, he still does. He lives in Columbia to
south of Columbia maybe, but he does this like Christmas
thing and it's the only, like only thing he does
music wise out of this farm and my parents go
every every year. But uh, David Phelps, I'll say it
(22:07):
right now. I used to think him and Brian mckknight
were the best list on the planet. I mean, dude,
David Phelps is crazy. Some of his stuff is crazy.
I mean, like it never hit mainstream. He got a
little secular there for a minute, but like his voice
is it don't make sense. His voice, it does not
make sense. And he sang high tenor in the in
(22:29):
the Gaither vocal band Bill Gaither, he sang the bass guy,
Penrod did the did a baritone, and then Mark Lowry
was high guy.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No he was.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Mark did the kind of middle guy. I think Guy
did the middle guy and then Mark, but Mark he
could do.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, they all could do. All incredible singers. Yeah, I
mean yeah, yeah. I think that was the first one.
Me and my my uncle did How old are you ye, man?
I would have been eleven eleven somewhere around there. My
uncle he used to sing in the New York Opera
and so he would all season, would come down in
the summer and babysit me and my brother, and he
(23:07):
would make us learn piano songs before we go out
and play and stool for just something. And at the
time you're like, ah, but dude, it I loved that
instilled you know, just the ear, the ear training level
and wanting to hum melodies, and he would push us.
I was so nervous, man, I know, I don't I'm
such so introverted back then, like really just did not
want to do any of that. And I'm so glad
(23:28):
he pushed us to get on stage and to do
it and to learn a guitar part and while he
played piano and singing. It was I truly don't think
if he did that then I would ever be doing
this in this fashion, because I do think you need
to push push kids in some sense, and then if
they don't, I could leave them alone. But I do think,
you know, if he wouldn't made me step outside that,
I don't know if I'd be here.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, I'll push my kids all the time, push them
off the board, yeah, off the bed. No, I agree,
I agree. I was terrified. I was thought of. And
you know what, man, I still get a little nervous.
Bro We played the other night and like I kind
of had some nervous coughs and I was like, I'm
not even nervous, that's right, And my anxiety is still
(24:09):
getting me a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I feel like if you lose that, it's you got
to figure something out.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I was watching Sing the other day. Actually every day
of my life I watched Sing because two both we're watching.
We're watching one, right, we go back. You watch one
for a couple of weeks, and you go you watch
two for a couple of weeks. But it's everything in
the movies is those Disney. I watched Cars by myself
last night, like literally we turned it on and then
(24:36):
I just watched the rest of the movie and there's
so many gems in there, like nuggets of gold wisdom
in those things. But in singing it says like when
Mina the Elephant, who's Tory Kelly at the end of it,
she's standing there and she's real nervous. She's got her ears,
you know, covering her face, and she looks over at
Buster Moon's a little koala and he was like, he
was like, just sing And I told Jordan, like she
(24:58):
was like the other day, she was like, you look
forward to the because we played, Yeah, we played Cheese
did a little gig. She's like, do you look forward
to the gig? And I was like, not really until
the first song. Yeah, And then when you're on stage
and you play that first song and sing it and
you hear the crowd react and get into it, and
you just kind of like get in this, then it's fun.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Man. I'm the same way. Man. It's like people ask
I don't look forward to shows until I'm on stage,
Like I'm kind of like I would, well, yeah, I
got to get to do that now. With Luke Holmes.
Thank you, Luke, But yeah, I just like I would.
In your head, you're like, oh, I could rather be
doing something else, and then you get up there, You're like,
what else would I rather be doing? It's a weird
(25:38):
thing that if you don't do it, you wouldn't understand you, Like,
how could you not want to? I don't know. It's
a weird, weird concept. But just like you're saying, it's
it's how it is. And then you get up there
and you start singing. You see the first person starts
singing back, and then it's like you ring your own
world a whole different thing, and ain't no doubt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I caught myself the other night because I can't memorize
lyrics at all. It's sane, and I call myself this
was really strange, But I caught myself reading the lyrics. Okay,
this is I'm on stage singing, reading the lyrics and
singing and playing the correct things. But my brain is going,
can you believe it? You're doing all three? I'm not
(26:16):
even focusing on what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I was on the show last week and literally thinking about, like,
how am I to fix the lawnmower I was singing.
Then I was like, oh, I got to get to
this second verse. Like I don't know how. I just
there's seventy thousand people. I just kind of zoned out
and I had a conversation right before stage and it
went to there kind of like when you're dreaming about
something you just thought about, and I was like, holy, well,
(26:39):
hold on, I'm here, like like shake it off.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Which also goes to the point like which I think
a lot of listeners and viewers maybe not get. It's like,
as much as this is like what you're born to do,
it's also work.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, so you're you're working when you're upstage playing for
seventy thousand people, and at work, just like everybody else,
they're come in about.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Like life happens. Life happens, man, and I don't know
why sometimes like I probably saw someone in the crowd
that triggered, probably had a John Deere shirt on or something.
I was like, Oh my gosh, I'm supelled to order
the blad. Yes, it just started going. Yeah. Megan, Megan
loves cutting the grass for some reason, like he gets
she just loves it, Like she puts headphones on, like
(27:22):
by all means like, if that's therapeutic for you somebody,
But if I don't have it ready, it's it's over.
So I got to make sure and.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
My ready I got. I got the internet, now got
running water and a lot of grass, A lot of
grass to go.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Bro. I didn't know you played college football. I mean, dude,
I went to MTSU to play college football and ended
up you know. And then we can go full circle
into me saying flag football with you v and the
referee as well. So you did play college footb No,

It's not a big deal. I yeah, what, Pa says,

Real bro flag football and M T.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Sun Yeah man, so real quick. Yeah, it's an amazing story.
Speaker 1 (30:18):

Speaker 3 (30:19):
So we're playing flag football intermural or whatever. And I
don't know, dude, I'm just competitive as hell. He's he's
reughing these games. He made some bad calls football and
I just like a paycheck and I'm like, it's so
I start arguing the reft. I'm like an idiot, like
a punk. It's all. It's all me. Do you remember
arguing he kicked me out? Like he kicked me out
(30:40):
of He kicked me out of the game and out
of the league. Like I couldn't come back, so like
I couldn't come back? Is this are you serious? Didn't No, No,
he kicked me out of the league.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You kicked him out.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
It would have been above me. I couldn't have kicked anybody.
He kicked me out of the game. And then the dude,
uh he was bald shorter. I forget the David, but
you love them that I wasn't allowed to be back
in because because he came out of the gate, so
I was probably no, I absolutely love and the door
this the funny thing is. So then there's we had
(31:13):
a class that's called commercial songwriting, and I remember walking
in and seeing him be like, oh my god, I
got to be in this and these class are like
fifteen people. I'm like, I got to be in class
with this dude that kicked me out of freaking football.
I was so mads all had at the time.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Man, this guy wished to play college football and lift
him and then take and man, I don't remember, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
And day one he starts singing. I'm like, oh my man,
can sing. Here we go. We immediately in that class.
You just kind of you find out the people. That
funny thing about it and we became good friends from there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
But he told me it was so funny he was
in that class. He's like, yeah, there's like one of
the guys.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
But that that was and you kind of, you know,
just like anything, you gravitate towards people that Yeah, we
took we.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Took this commercial song right class, which was you know,
love y'all and tsue. Great class, but we yeah, first
day you come in, you like meet everybody, and then
the second day of class, he's like Hey, everybody's got
to play a song, and like, play a song that
you've written.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I didn't have my songs that I had written at
that point. I didn't start writing songs till later in life.
My songs at that point were absolute dog trash.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
That you have one it was tennis something Tennessee. Yeah,
it was incredible, dude. That Yeah, yeah, I remember this
from back then. And by the way, real quick, it
was my fault. I should have been kicked out. I
was probably a complete like what do you mean, like
just yet and he's he was probably just in college,
Like I'm not dealing with this, did I think? I
(32:43):
don't know if I know the whole.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
First thing, let's get this.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Yeah, nostalgic, I'm I don't even say no. Well y
never gone very car break? Yeah I was was a
chorus one of my favorite songs. I don't remember it. Man.
The only thing between you and me was Tennessee. Yeah,
(33:09):
that was it was you and me. It was Tennessee. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
So anyway, but the first song I ever played in
that class, I went, I drove I was. We were
living on the boat at the time. Yeah, that Percy
Prieze and uh, I was. I wrote it in I
was like, dang man, damn. It was like, what's what's
wrong dude. I was like, I gotta play a song tomorrow. Bro,
it's this class.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I was like, I ain't got any good songs.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And it was like on the boat and I was like,
just play with the Yeah, he's like just playing with
my mind.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I was like, minut nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I think I played like a John Wiggans, like hit songwriters.
I can't you you you mentioned somebody's name. You said
your brother, you were writing with somebody at the time.
That was like doing something.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, him and Jason Matthews.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
That's and Jason. Yeah, you mentioned all that. And I
was like, okay, this guy, he's in it.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But yeah, I remember I played, and then and then
everybody else played, and there was Timpinny play. I don't
remember what he played, but it was it was killer
because like I don't know if you y'all probably listen
to Mitchell, but if you haven't watched him, played guitar,
the dude the shreder man, and and he was playing
this like cool part over the singing part, and and
there were some other good, good people in that class,
(34:16):
but like he's the one.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
He was the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
And we went outside and both of us were like, yeah,
it was bro, like just.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Through this together. Really funny thing.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
We're also supposed to at some point he pairs you
that the teacher that class pairs you up and you
go write a song and we everybody came to my boat.
It was like me and you and a couple of
other Yeah, there was a couple of other people that
came to the boat and we wrote a song.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Bro, you put that see that real quickly.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
There's a riff on what I put. She met me right,
it was.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's remember back from Boston.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
It was something there. I'm glad she met me. It
was something like that, and it was like we were
we went we went to your boat, and I thought
that was the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
It's not mine and uh dude, yes, And I was like, dude, this.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Guy is so awesome. He lives on a boat. Man,
he's just he's got the greatest voice ever heard.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
And then you figured him out.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
You're like, then he got a record deal out of
l a. Yeah, put that song on the record.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Every quarter, I swear on my life every quarter like water,
I get point like, I'm it's down like point two cents, right,
I swear my life, I get a check.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Well son Sony took that record off, so unfortunately, I'm sorry.
It'll get a one day. I've got to listen back
through that because that was a cool riff. We need
to read. But it was like a seven way too.
It was. There was a lot of people on that,
but it was for class. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I remember we played that.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
At class and we played that in the class and
everybody was like, shirts off.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh man, yeah, I have got away that riff. Year.
That's fun, dude, I didn't. I'm sorry about the flag
football bro, No, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
No, that was. Here's the funny thing is I do
remember like being going to tip and be like, hey, bro,
this there and right now on this couch. Before you did,
I had no clue was you And I'm sorry that it.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Was No, that was I'm sorry it was me too,
I was, but it was kids go full circle moment.
I don't remember what it was. It had been.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's the best story we've ever had because he was
while you were saying that, I was watching this face.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
It was him, it was me and I was a
terrible ref bro.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I just didn't care enough. I wanted to be I
wanted to be playing, uh, And I.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Was just I wanted to be playing like real football,
and I was just in grow and I was like,
this is all I got, and like I got impressed
these fraternity guys because I wasn't really in the fraternity
or allowed to really be on that team. So it
ended up it was actually fair that I wasn't so uh.
I think we both found our calling.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Oh man, so we go into this su we do
the class.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
What what do you do after that?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
What? What was?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Where did you go from there?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
I lived in a house with Brad Clawson and two
other guys. One guy played on the football team and another.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
You don't know Brad Clawson. He's a trash song ride just.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
In human being all in general, he's Brad is one
of my best friends in the world. And so I
had a roommate. It's gonna be in the dorms. He
canceled me the week before I started freshman year, so
I called Brad. I was like, dude, I don't want
to live with somebody I don't know. I'm just I
was introverted, like I was saying weirds like me and
I got a I got an extra room in this
I'm like dude. And so I was living off campus
(37:40):
in the house with the head of a fraternity, a
guy on the on the football team in Brad Lawson,
and so Man, we we had a great time. We
lived in the end of a cul de sac, you know,
that's where we would party. There'd be like a girl
every other month. We come by, like one girl and
she was and then she would everybody about it. Yeah,
we told everybody about it. She was just a friend.
Nothing ever happened, but we told everybody. Was like, there's
(38:02):
potential here for one of us four and uh, you
know that kind of college life. Man, and me and
Brad were just writing and we'd go down to Three
Brothers or Blue whatever it was called, or Whiskey Dicks
or whatever. We play every single night playing songs that
we'd written. And that's basically all we were doing. Then.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
That's awesome, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Man.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
When did you start coming, Like when did you start
your your Nashville in Nashville journey, Like start writing songs
in Nashville And.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
That was the warrant. So I had a studio and
his name is Ernest. Now y'all know Ernest Keith Keith Smith.
We grew up together. He's three years younger than me,
and my brother's three years younger, so they were in
the same class. So I've known them. They've been breaking
my gear and my guitar since I was little. Yeah,
was that that little basement studio, Yeah, that little basement.
So we wrote a couple of songs and the Warren Brothers.
(38:49):
My grandmother signed the Warren Brothers back in the day.
And uh, I've known then since I was a kid.
And they always said, man, if you ever if you
ever have sent it to us, you know, And I
was like, okay, long shot. What we did, and they
offered us a publishing deal. Me and me and Keith.
We were a duo, I'll say Ernest for the sake
of that, Me and Ernest. They signed us as a duo.
And so he was rapping the verses, I was singing
(39:11):
the chorus. It was like a developmental deal. And so
every room we were in we were writing together. Uh
he was he was snow Yeah, he was in between
that snow whatever that whatever he was doing there. And
he's so talented as you know, and it was so
fun and yes, so that was our first deal, was
me and him Warren Brothers JV with Sony Tom Luteran
(39:33):
and doing the thing. And then we and it was
never a bad thing. We were just he got to
the point where we're like, man, we're both we both
are doing our own thing. You're not just a rap,
You're not this, and I'm not just a guy that
sings top line, like like, let's let's do our thing.
And we did, and that's when we kind of we
split that deal up and just started making our own
our own past. I mean, we're still best friends. I
(39:54):
love him to death, and we just signed my brother together.
So yeah, but it all started with that, Yeah, was
your brother? Is he gonna it's just a songwriter? Yeah, yeah,
a big love. He plays based on me on the
road and does all the harmonies just like y'all. Man,
we've been just like a yeah, yeah man, and that's
all just my younger brother, and yeah, sign him over
there a big allowed me and him.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Awesome And now here you are playing seventy thousand folks and.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Man, it's that's been so surreal and just like Luke, y'all, know.
I mean, what a genuine good dude that like has
exploded beyond thank you. Like it's like I turn around
and every song deep cuts, you turn around there standing
to the top of the stadium, singing like he has
become a part of people's lives in such a way
(40:42):
that sure you can't describe, like people like, how do
you do that? Well, there's no there's no way to
say that. Those songs have just connected to so many people,
and it's it's just so cool to see in the
fact that he lets me come out there and play
some of mine.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Well, I mean I was out there last year a
few times. You were out there a few times, and man,
they love you, dude, And I think, I think there's
a parallel, which I figure is probably why he keeps
having you out of like authenticity. I mean, you're different things,
but you're honest and you're true to what you do,
and I think I think fans appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I appreciate Think, man, that's the only thing I care
about is, you know, being authentic. He looked authentic the
second he walked into commercial songwriting.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
And he's probably wearing that shirty I don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
It's for the game.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
I think I think people can tell, and I know
I can tell, and it's not fun if you're not.
And so I think that that's a huge reason why
Luke is so successful as people believe it, they know
it's real. And then and so thanks for saying that,
that's no. I think its hang your hat on.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, and I think it gives you stick around power.
I think I think people just continue to be a
part of, like you said, like your journey while you're
a part of their journey. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, I was like, there's no way I don't ever
see him not being able to do stadiums. But like,
he'll have a job the rest of his life because
he has made so many moments in people's lives with
these songs. Yeah, and it'll last forever.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Well, I'll tell you this. When I was out with him,
we saw a ray of different performers and look, there's
nothing wrong. Let me just put this out there. There
is absolutely nothing wrong with standing on a career and
singing songs that necessarily aren't relative to you as an artist.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
There are people who have done that. We songwriters have
a job, right, Yeah, And there are artists out there
that care nothing about writing their songs and they care
about just singing stuff that anything's cool or that'll hit,
and that's fine. There was a particular artist, though, I'm
gonna say it was that I just don't get into right,
(42:44):
and so like this artist was opening, we wouldn't open.
It was one of those festival deals like where there's
like a bunch of people singing and playing and they
were rehearsing and I was setting up the Guitar World stuff,
and it was out there like cats. I mean, there's
like eight or nine dancers out there and they're all
doing like you know, this is happening. He's the girls
(43:08):
are dancing and he's singing this song, and I'm just like,
oh my gosh, thank god that like, as a songwriter,
I'm not trying to write a song for that guy
because I don't even know how. Like we're so lucky
that that that Luke kind of took a shot on
us and then we get to write songs that are
authentic to our lives and he recognizes that. He goes, sure,
(43:31):
we're all in the same boat here, We're all kind
of going through the same thing. So we can kind
of stick to honesty. Man. If I'm trying to write
like straight pop melodies so that this guy that I
know has a hit, right, I'm in bad trouble.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
I think there's a difference in artists and entertainer too,
Like they don't there should be an artist no, absolutely nothing.
That's like the difference in like like Luke Luke Holmes
doesn't even have a lot of production. He doesn't need it.
He's got a video screening and he's got great lights
I'm not talking about but you don't have to flames
going everywhere, lasers And because it doesn't have to, he
(44:03):
doesn't have to add that on. The songs are just
great and people are singing them and and that's okay,
So that's great. But then some songs are just hooky
melodies and it doesn't necessarily have a great story. But
it's like, hey, I want to see these lasers in
this fight and be a part of this And that's
a that's a different side of purport to man. So
there are two different things in my opinion. But I
I always like, you know, it will it work at Bluebird?
(44:25):
What you're saying right there probably wouldn't work at Bluebird
and that's just my cup of teams.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
I actually ran that through my head, like okay, so
you you know you have that song. Whoever that songwriter
is on that song has a hit with that, right,
how do they play that at the Bluebird?
Speaker 3 (44:39):
You know they don't. I've been I've been through with
some pop writers. Really, I'm like, play the biggest hit
that they can't play the biggest hit. And it's like,
and that's fine, and that's cool because you know, that's
the day we live in. There's a lot of different
technology production things that you can't play the hit. Yeah,
but it's it's sometimes I have seen them like, oh,
I just care like a boone box with me and
just just do that. Just just literally put a bluetooth
(45:02):
up the Bundy's there.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
You know you're reaping the benefits that matter.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
I love it. I love it all man, do what
you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Let's talk about uh, let's talk about your new record, man,
your third Yeah man. A question I want to ask
you so is this is is this your third record
coming out, third.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
Record, major label? Yeah? Man, because the first one was
technically dang right, let's go, what.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Is there pressure? To like, what's what's the feeling going
into doing a third record? Because the first one you've
got songs. Man, first one, you've got inspiration.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
You you don't know any better? Man, Yeah, which is
all the first one you don't know any better. You're
not trying to you're not trying to achieve anything.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Like you haven't had any reviews.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
You haven't had any haven't had any sus you have,
you've had nothing to base it off. And God, that
freedom is. I wish I could go back and just
relive how awesome that? Okay?
Speaker 2 (45:57):
So so so now on the third you're you're two
times into it.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Wait sweat, he's he was on one, go to two?
So what happens to record?
Speaker 3 (46:04):
And then two? Like so record one we had, you know,
our very first hit, number one platinum Drunk Me got
us going, and then you're like, what do what do
you do next? And man, it's it's just tough because
you want to you want to compete with that, And
like then COVID happened and and I don't know, man,
I put out a couple of EP's and luckily we
got truth about You that worked for us on that one.
(46:26):
And so this one's like monster, even you're even more
you're afraid to like like, oh my gosh, am I
going to be able to live up to at least
having one off this record that does something or like
it's it's I know, man, but I promise, I know, yeah,
because it's become a job now now you have and
I say this, it's like if I don't sing or
(46:46):
wake up and sing or write these songs, like there's
twenty people that don't get paid, my brother, you know,
they my crew, my band, they're Bolton houses like that.
That pressure wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
At the beginning.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
And it's not like I'm not. I'm very grateful for
it and humbled by.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Its way deeper than what I was even talking about.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
You if you're tired and your voice is or something's
going on in your life, and it's like, man, but
if you don't do this, then the people that have
been with you five years in a van to get
to the bus and to do this, they don't have
a lot they like it's that's the kind of stuff
starts weighing on you and you're like, man, I have
to have a hit to keep this lifestyle up so
that they're happy on the road, and so you start
weighing all this stuff. But then it gets to the
(47:25):
point where like you hopefully have built a great crew
that's going to be there with you through the valleys,
through the hills and valleys. And this record, I really
told myself that I'm going to go back and forget
about the hit factor, forget about whatever that is, and
I'm trying to do and go back to why I
got signed when I knew nothing, when when I was
writing music, like we were writing and they were like,
(47:47):
there's something interesting about that that's different. And so I
think we did that with this record. I told the
radio team and everybody, I said, look, here are the songs.
I want y'all to pick what you love because I
love these there's not what so if y'all are all
in the same page, then I'm on board with a single,
whatever it is. And so that was the first time
I kind of let the reins go where I didn't
have an opinion on which one was chosen. I let
(48:07):
them because when the teen's behind it, you got a
better chance and you be like, I love this song,
but they love that, Then you're gonna be finding that internal.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Bullshit, right that's why we create together.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
This one. I you know, nervous, obviously nervous as hell,
but I did feel a lot better making it. I
had more peace of mind saying hey, man, I'm going
to do what I did originally that that got people
interested in the first one. And so there's twenty songs.
We got to start writing something though, I mean before.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
But that's actually what this is.
Speaker 3 (48:39):
It's just you.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Actually you actually signed a paper. I don't know if
you know you did. You signed a paper at least three.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
One single. That's the.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Why was it important for you to name this the third?
Speaker 3 (48:56):
Man? I missed my daddy. I lost my daddy to cancer,
and I just wish he could have seen you know this,
you know, getting to play in front of a stadium,
you know, getting to know John Daily, you know, just
just things in life and me and me and him
were like grew up loving and doing, and so I
wanted to pay homage to him and my granddad. I'm
the third, James Mitchell Timpany the third, and Andy Albert.
(49:19):
I'm sure y'all know Andy one of one of my
best songwriters in town. Paul d. G Ivonni, Devin Dawson,
a bunch of my friends. Andy always comes in when
we write with a great title, like he always does,
and he came in wanted to write a song about
my name. And I wanted to write a song by
my granddad and dad and in some way, but I
didn't know how. And I was like, man, I don't
(49:39):
know if I could sing my name like like I
don't know, like it sounds a little cliche. And we
found a way to make it feel like like if
you you're gonna hear my name of the song, it says,
you know, I'm James Mitchell Timpany the third, but you
hear your name in that your family learn when you
hear it. And we wrote it that way. When I sung,
and I was like, Okay, it doesn't make me feel
like I'm saying mine. I'm saying look, this is I'm
(50:01):
proud of me. Yeah, I'm proud to be a part
of where I come from. And so the name of
the third was, you know, just to say thank you
to my dad, like you know, so many friends I'm
sure y'all might have had this experience, have moved here
to write songs, and most of them their parents said,
don't do that. That's the worst decision you'll ever make
in your life. That's so stupid. Don't be a musician.
I never got that. My dad and my mom would
(50:23):
take me to venues and shows, and they put up
with the screaming bands and the drummer to come back
home to the country. And so I can't imagine having
that monkey on your back too. As hard as this is,
but to not have support from your family would be
just devastating to me. So to see people work through
that and have hits and say I'm gonna prove you
wrong is inspiring to me. But I never had that.
(50:45):
So I wanted to say thank you, thank you Dad
and Papa for let me hurt your ears for a while.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Do you remember rocket Town?
Speaker 3 (50:53):
I've played it a million times. I've been in Pitts
a million times.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Armand every uh punk rock band played at rocket Town.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
And you don't want to be a skateboarder until you
walk into that place, dude.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
We were six fired up, dude, And and I remember
my dad mom drove from Savannah, and my mom walked
in with like this white floral dress and long dress.
You know, my dad has on like a tucked in
a button down, sliky looking preacher shirt, you know, doing this,
and there in the back, my dad's like yeah, yeah,
(51:30):
and my mom is just literally just like she smiled.
She got both things. She smiling like you're doing great.
Meanwhile there's like kids in the pit throwing boat screaming
and long haired emo kids everywhere, and my mom's got
on like, you know, a brightened necklace.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
And but she's there. She was there. We had this.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
They never really looking Friday. She'll listen to this. She
listens to everything. I think she would have loved for
us to been in a gospel cors to, you know.
But sure she always supported even you know, even when
we wrote songs about beers, she still supported this.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
You know, And that's awesome. I say, my rock would
be in the back of rock town doing the same thing.
And they let us. They let us come back home,
came home. Let let us come back home, go out
and do the thing. And now I just see a
song with under Oath on this new record, So yeah,
I got to scream with Spencer and and singing. So
do you remember every now and then I tap back
and you remember melee in the suns? Oh my gosh, kiddy,
(52:28):
Dallas from Under Oath went the lead, the original screamer
went made Meleen?
Speaker 1 (52:32):
Is that right, dude?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
I still I went to every show that Melene ever came.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
We were probably some of the same. Oh yeah, I
was throwing bells, bro Man.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
You probably you probably knocked him out with them. That's
why I got kicked out of football.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, a little aggressive. Yeah, that's a great story. I
want a clip with that, even if we don't put
it up. I got to have the clip of Red
throwing them out. Man.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
I love speaking of your name, my I think the
one that stuck out to me the most was set
It in Stone, Thank you off that record, because like
I'm in that same place that that the singer that
you are singing from in that In that I mean
like I'm just trying to be a great dad. I'm
trying to be a great husband. I'm trying to be
a great brother, a great son, and and make every
(53:16):
freaking moment I got left on this dirt what you
say in that song camp Man, and and when when
before they said it in Stone? Man, I want I
want to make most of it.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I think it just as we get older, you got family,
got us now there's there's just different priorities that change
so quick and and and you start worrying about those
kind of things, like what are people going to say
when I'm gone? You realize you're not invincible anymore? College
we were invincible and you're not invincible anymore. And and
those kind of songs are what I tend to go.
Like that was another Me and Andy song, Andy, like
(53:48):
I get to I get to kind of dive into
those with him a lot, which I love and and yeah,
we were in that same room. He's got kids, and
so we were just talking about that. It's like, what
do we want, what do we want on our headstone? Man?
What do we want to be truly left behind? People
talking about us about it? Yeah, and that's yeah, thanks
for saying that's one of my favorite songs on the record.
And so I did that. I started the song with
a third and then and then number ten is set
(54:11):
in his own So it's like that half of the
record is from that to that, and then the back
half is some of my more R and B influences
rock influence. I liked Tennessee and Me man, Yeah, I
got Tennessee me. Yeah, yeah, thank you man.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
I felt. I guess being raised in Tennessee, I felt
like I identified with it.
Speaker 3 (54:28):
That's my more like Dave Barns, Matt Wurtz kind of vibe,
like I love.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
I heard a lot of that stuff, man, I heard
a lot of Mayor influence and some of those things.
I heard a lot of like band Camino not thirty
five stuff.
Speaker 3 (54:40):
It's like the cool Well Jordan producer produces the Camino
Boys and that it produces. Yeah, yeah, we've always worked together.
I love that. Thank you man. Yeah, you know I
love I love that band so much in those guys
Camino Boys, Thank you man. Yeah. Just yeah. Like I said,
I'm just trying to put throw, throw the money the wall,
and just do what made me happy, made my head
do this again.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
So that's why if you're doing anything, this is life.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
If you're doing anything for anybody else, you're doing it
for the own reason.
Speaker 3 (55:05):
Yeah. And I figured that out the last three years.
So I'm the three or four really, so I'm like,
it's time to time to start doing stuff for me.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
Well, let me say this, man, there are I mean
we've even talked about a few before. The MIC's wrong.
There are a lot of different artists and a lot
of different opinions, and there are a lot of different
how do I say this, perceived personalities, But dude, this
town loves you, man, and they love what you do.
(55:33):
That you have an absolute reputation of being genuine and
being a good guy and being extremely talented. Don't let
me take that away. We all know that too. But
I just I appreciate and the town appreciates what you do,
and and and thanks for making good music and being.
Speaker 3 (55:47):
A good dude man that you can tell me I'm serious,
I'm serious. That's that's it, and and it goes both
ways for you all. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (55:54):
I appreciate you saying that.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
And if you want to surround yourself with people like that,
thank you for screed.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
I know you were saying you wanted to your head
on on that and and being a genuine guy, your hats.
Everybody feels like that, So thank you. Thanks for coming
and hanging out.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Let's talk about the ten penny fun. You had your
second corn hole championship. Bro, how can we get in.
Speaker 3 (56:18):
To make sure? Yeah, it's just the Yeah, I'm pretty,
I'm just I'm pretty, y'all. Y'all, y'all be a team
or yeah, I mean it's just it's very low key
easy man. After you're done with the riding that day,
walk over to Sony parking lot a TV and just
we're gonna throw some bags, all right and raising y'all.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
Y'all raised almost one hundred thousand dollars you last one.
Speaker 3 (56:39):
Man. Yeah, man, it's it's it's really wild, like to
see that kind of generosity. I mean truly, like that's
that's a lot of money. Man. And we and we
and over the years we've got this pile. We're we're
so ready to start, you know. We we focus on
the mental side. I want to focus on the mental
side of hearing that disease. Well, my dad was going
through and my grand I mean, my aunt still going
(57:01):
through it. My mom just she's in remission right now. Thing,
Can you clear up?
Speaker 1 (57:06):
What the disease?
Speaker 3 (57:06):
What do you a? Cancer? Sorry? Cancer? Yeah? What people
don't know is like it grows and feeds off stress too,
just like sugars and everything. Like it's cancer absolutely not.
So to prepare yourself mentally to battle this disease is
so important. And that's like we got great doctors, great drugs,
new things coming out every day, and money goes all
over the place of that. But like, the mental health
(57:29):
care of that disease is something that I just didn't
see happening during my dad's Like he had no one
to talk to. He was a strong and stubborn man.
You know, he wasn't gonna say how sick he was.
But if he had someone he could call and just
vent to about the disease, to prepare to go in
and get the next radiation or there was something just
that mindset. I've seen so many more success stories you're
saying literally healing. Yeah, No, it's it's I mean there
(57:50):
is science way beyond I mean so much science that
that if you are prepared to battle it, your success
rate is so much higher and greater.
Speaker 2 (57:59):
But you got to have out for that man, and yes,
you got How can you prepare to go into one
of those things and then face cancer alone with with
the right mindset?
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Yeah, especially being a dad and a father, and you're like, no,
I can't show him how sick I was. You know,
you need somebody. And and as I get older to
the importance of of of therapy, it's it's okay, it's
not it shouldn't be taboo, like especially from southern strong man.
I get it, but it's like it is something that
is very important and and so that's what we want
(58:27):
to focus on the most, because, like I said, a
lot of money goes with the great drugs and you
don't know what this. I want to go to somebody
that can't necessarily afford therapy or doesn't know where to
go or how to do it, make it a safe
place where they can just talk and bitch and vent
about having that disease and be like, Okay, I'm ready
to go battle this today, and I promise you you'll
see way more success stories.
Speaker 1 (58:46):
How's your mom?
Speaker 3 (58:48):
She's doing great and she's in remission because when she
called me and my brother, I was I was writing
at to Stephano's house and I get a call again,
Hey go get your brother come to the house. And
the last time I got that call, it was they
were telling us about dad, and so I was like,
I called Rafe and I was like, man, Mom didn'tay anything,
but I know exactly what this is.
Speaker 1 (59:07):
I already knew.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
So I picked him up. We went there. She you know,
starts bawling, crying, telling us she's got cancer. I was like, Hey,
we're doing this different this time. I'm gonna know every
step and through the grace of God. In this industry,
I've gotten to meet incredible doctors and cancer and done events.
And I called one guy he put me writing the
best doctors.
Speaker 1 (59:25):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (59:25):
Immediately with her, I mean and like just she was
ready to battle it because she knew that her kids
were behind her, and she was and you know, she
kicked its task as so even in my own life,
I've seen it work, but I've seen it work throughout
and so yeah, anyway, ten Penny Fun is focused on
the mental health part of God.
Speaker 1 (59:44):
I love miss Debbie and I'm so flu she's doing well.
I remember hearing it because they kept it kind of
quiet at Sony for a while and they were like, Hey,
I just want to let you know you're not, you know,
surprised by Missie stepping out she's got cancer, and dude,
I remember just being so sad. Man. That was because
because I don't under we've never dealt with it in
our fans, our family's heart disease, right, Like, that's all
(01:00:05):
on both sides. So we're dealing with that constantly, trying
to figure it out and Uh, I've never really even
dealt with anyone super close to me having answer that
I that I can remember, but most people do.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
But a lot of you know, that's that's awesome and
very surprising.
Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Though.
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Yeah, it's generally everyone's touched, right, But that's incredible, I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
And yeah, ours is heart disease.
Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, which is a big.
Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Grandmothers. I mean, it's just it's in, it's in our genetics.
So that's what we've dealt with. But I know a
lot it affects a lot of people. And and man,
that's awesome to know that you're you're doing what you
can do and taking your platform to you know, raise
some money for that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Souff I just yeah, I hate it. I hate it.
I hate cancer so bad. So anything we can do, man, Yeah,
how can how can listeners h viewers?
Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
How can we help?
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Man, yeah, I mean if you feel like donating, great,
if you feel like just preaching preaching the word. But yeah,
website tenpenny Fun. If you google tenpenny fun, the number
ten penny even if you spell it, I'm sure it'll
find it. It's on the website for sure. But tenpenny Fund. Yeah,
throw it into Google, Yahoo, Austin still a search engine.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Let's uh get us in that tournament will help race. Yeah, man,
I'd love to be a part of that throwing.
Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
I like the helicopter. I like the flat in the
bag and kind of toss it like this to let
it spin because when it hits flat, it won't slide
at the ball.
Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Right, I do that, I don't want it to.
Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
I do the corner grip so like hold it like up,
like hold the bag here this finger wrapped around, but
then throw it this way.
Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
It's more of a loft type thing. I did win.
I didn't win my tournament last year. I came in
second the year before. Jared Mullens wouldn't miss.
Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
It's not rigged. I just like the playbacks. But so yeah,
come beat me this year before.
Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
I will not be you, but I will come.
Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Who's your part of this year?
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I don't know. Last year I did my wife, but
I think that's too cliche. So I'm gonna I'm going
to find somebody else. Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Speaking of Megan, y'all go check out Megan past trick.
Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
That's that's that's Mitchell's wife.
Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
She's she's hell of an artist, held a songwriter. Uh man,
Helen outdoorsman, dude, outdoors woman. However you say that she
she loves outdoors, like I said, probably more than us combined.
She she ever gets you out there.
Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Man, every every now and then. Man, I I haven't
got the hunt in the last really two years except
turkey hunting. Man. She she makes me so jealous. She
gets she gets all these opportunities and like like, I'm like,
it's so awesome. But she she loves it, man, Like
She'll go out there and not get anything four times
in a row. And I'm like, dude, if I'm my
day is off. Like if I'm not getting something four
(01:02:36):
days in a row, I'm just I'm sorry at this point.
And she but she she literally loves it so much, man,
and she's filling up our house. Man. The first time
I ever met Megan was in a deer It was
in literally in deer camp.
Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
She's got a tattooed you know, her first book, She's
got she killed a giant deer in Canada and got
a tattooed on.
Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
It's my favorite, Uh Meghan hunt story is she was
it had to be at least three years ago, but
she was determined that she was going to shoot a
turkey by herself. And I've watched this progression of her
on Instagram going through and just like documenting nothing, nothing, nothing.
And then there's one day where she's like she's facetimed
(01:03:17):
and was like.
Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Oh god, oh it was, And those phone calls are
so great when she goes out. I'm asleep, But I
love it because that that pure joy. Man. You know
when your wife, when your wife is purely joyful about something,
you can do anything. I can backflip against. I can
(01:03:38):
always backflip back. The manager doesn't think I can blackflip,
but I can flipa No. I mean like you know
when you when they have that pure joy, it just
lights young man. And so that's that's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Too, man, Like, I'm sure she's the same way with
watching you. And she's an artist and musician too, but
she's she's she's supporting your passions and watching you complete extreams.
Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
That's why we work so well together. We said, for
each other's passions. Man, I think that's whole. As you
get older, you have to have your hobbies and your
passions and you want someone to believe in it as
much as you love it, and so that's like important
to have that as a woman.
Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
We all went to Canada.
Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Oh my god, yes, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
What town was that in?
Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
I have no Hamilton, Hamilton?
Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
How did you remember? I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I just said it incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
If you're listening from Hamilton, thanks for listening. But I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
But I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
I hate like four.
Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Meals of the Denny's that week, and I'm never going back.
Bro I'm never blessed anyway. It's cool, good, Sorry that.
Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Thing you had to say, but it's time show for
the one that got all our all our kind of
little things sound the same. That's great.
Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
We do this thing Mitchell called the one that got Away,
which I know it's not gonna be the girl from
Bigger Mistakes that you say that in.
Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
The song she ain't got away. So just that you
know that whoever that was about, you know who it was. Uh,
you know who you are.
Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
If there was one thing that you think about, could
be a fish, could be a song, could be a deer,
could be whatever. Turkey twenty thousand, like, I give card Hamburger,
what what's your one that got away?
Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Man? I was thinking about it as I came in,
and it's easy. So my dad mean that's we played
golf and we shot. He had a gun in my
hand when I was young, teaching me the safety and everything.
So we used to go to gun shows all the time,
and there he had this whole thirty eight he wanted
to get rid of, and we wanted to get me
a hunting rifle or a shotgun. So we were at
this gun show and man, they had this Belgium Browning,
(01:05:47):
a five light, twelve round knob gold trigger, the gun,
the gun that I've always wanted. And then there was
a thirty thirty Marlin like a three three six gold
trick lever action, and so we were gonna he was
gonna trade this gun for that, but he wasn't sure
if he wanted to do it. This guy made an
amazing offer, and we didn't do the trade, and we
(01:06:10):
get in the truck and Dad goes, we made a mistake.
Didn't let's go back in and get that. Get back in.
They're gone. My whole life, I've been searching for these
guns and going to every gun show. I found the
the Browning about five years ago. Me and Brad Caaus
and went to a gun show and this old man
his wife is making himself all of his guns. Yeah,
(01:06:30):
and you could see it in his eyes, dude, like
when he handed me this and and I was like, man,
I promise you this gun means so much to me already,
I'm going to treat this with all the respect and
care in the world handed down to my kids.
Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
So I got that one, and you could see the
relief out of his eyes. Okay, so where we missed
the thirty thirty.
Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
We got a bunch of listeners if you have.
Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
And I know that's not it's hard to find a
thirty thirty lever action these days. Yeah, but but it's
I know what it looks like when I see it.
I'm searching. I've seen some, but not in the shape like,
excuse me, you gotta hold it. I gotta look at it.
It's like one of those things I'll know when I
see it. But I've been on the hunt for ten
plus years for this gun. Bro, you got one thirty
(01:07:16):
thirty thirty Marlin three three six gold trigger lever action.
I don't care if fifty eight, I mean it could be.
I think they made him in forty eight to whatever
forty eight to sixties. I don't care. We have some dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
We got some gun hound dogs.
Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
I would love to buy that gun. If I come
across from someone's got it man, that would be ah,
the one that get that, the one that got away.
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
I think that's the first gun one. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Next thing we do is favorite tune, so greatest slash
favorite song.
Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
We're doing a playlist.
Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Yeah, so we were talking earlier. I know it's generally
country and Neon Moon would be that for me. Ronnie
Dunn straight up, but I would argue that John Mary
slow dancing in a Burning Room is could be a
country song, just like remember when Alabama did god Mess?
I spend a little more time on you and who
was it John Michael Montgomery? Did I swear huge?
Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
Huge and songs huge?
Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
I feel like Blake Shelton in the style of Austin,
should do? Uh? Should do? John Mayor? Can I just
go for.
Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
On Austin? I think Austin is one of the most
overrated country songs of all time.
Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Hot take that's that's that's steamy hot, Okay, I love it.
I love the hot take I.
Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Listen, man, I don't understand what happens in the song.
I get that there's like a guy named Austin and
there's also a city. If we've done this before, we've
done this before, and and then it works and look
I love Blake, dude, he's awesome. Yeah, I don't get
I don't understand the infatuation song.
Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
The girl's name is Austin, and he's he's leaving it.
He was in so much.
Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Didn't even understand it.
Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Here we go. See, No, the girl's name is the
girl's name is Austin. Is his name Austin too? No,
he's just he's in so much love that he's literally
leaving a voicemail in case she ever calls back in PS,
this is Austin, I still love.
Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Didn't she go to Austin or something?
Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
She always talks about leaving a number? I mean, it's
it's definitely about a person right now, you're making me
just how would a place call you exactly? Sure?
Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Sure it might not be her name not Austin.
Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
She might be, it might be, but it is august
This is Austin. No, No, no, he's not Austin. They're
in Austin. The girl is the girl is Austin the
significant other in there? So yeah, she left without leaving
a number, says she needed to clear her mind. I
(01:09:54):
mean I think figured she going bad to Austin, Okay,
to her as just to sit like, yeah, like you
from jackson Yeah, yeah, Jacksonville. If this is Jacksonville, I
hate you still got a song?
Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Is a songwriter though? Is that our responsibility to make
this crystal clear what.
Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
It always was until you just did this to me, said, I've.
Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Lived with it ever since I started listening to coutry music.
Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Who cares over the giant song that's funny?
Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Okay? Then someone else besides Blake Shelton thinking it by.
Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Like this kind of country.
Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
It's not a silly little moment. It's not the storm
before the calm. She's a deepen dning bead. No dude,
even book you seeing a hold and a hold that
I can fee.
Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
For battest dog, come and say, saust we moved it fast.
Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
We're going down.
Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
And you can see it going down and you know
that we do mydeed. We so dancing. I just think
that song is like that was the best way to
(01:11:30):
express that feeling. Of knowing you're with the wrong person
and not knowing how to break their heart. Man, I've
never heard someone write a song that tells that specific
situation that we've all been in so perfectly.
Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
I can remember where I was when I heard that song.
Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
It's yeah, same, yeah. I was at a skate center.
I was that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
I was in an apartment above a garage dating a
girl that I was.
Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
Like, it just it just hits you so hard. There's
a do y'all know Blue Fold? Yeah, man, I love
He had a song called Tomorrow and it's like I'm
gonna I'm like, tonight, I'm gonna give you one last name,
but tomorrow I'm gonna break your heart. And I always
thought that was kind of in that same vein. I
wrote a song on brad CAUs and called you know,
I know something she don't know, kind of in that pain.
(01:12:17):
I've always tried to get somewhere around that song, but
you can never write it the way he wrote slow
Dancing in a Burning Room, because you can image dancing
in a burning room. Oh my god, We're gonna play
this out as we literally kill each other, like as
it golfs around us. And I just I don't know
that's the way this turns out. Yeah, that's that's It's
a perfect song in my opinion.
