This week Reid and Dan host the music row's rowdiest artist, Gavin Adcock, out in God's Country. The episode dives in with all things cattle farming and Dan shares his first and last experience at attempting the trade. Gavin walks through what a day looked like for him growing up raising cattle and how that work ethic has parlayed into his current landscape of touring. The guys pick Gavin's brain on how he maintains releasing music consistently and what his tricks are for remaining viral on TikTok. Gavin shares what a pre-show ritual looks like for him, what it's like managing his rowdy fanbase, and ends the episode with a Gravorite that will bring a tear to a glass eye.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Because dude, we're so far removed from that. I mean,
like we live around farms and stuff, but I ain't
never worked. Dan's got a great cattle story actually working cattle.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But like, what's a day in the life of you
as a child waking up well to work?
Speaker 1 (19:53):

the calves, sort them. I was a little kid five
(20:31):
seven years old holding the gate. He go up the alley,
bring him back one at a time, catch go by.
What do he wanted to take? We go down there
and get all the cows, do the same thing, Load
them up on his thirty six foot goose neck and
go to whatever stockyard we were going to pull in
(20:51):
unloaded cows. They go in there, put back tags on them,
glue them, and they just.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So he said, yeah, yeah, like super glus. I'm just
stick them on his They.
Speaker 1 (21:03):

put them on the back.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Of the Oh yeah, did it ever get sketchy?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You almost?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Did you ever ever get pinned?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Or oh yeah, I've been running over and hit the
gates and stuff and yeah, and uh after that, I
just walked the catwalk as a little kid. Look at
all the cows I had, and and uh, go get
some lunch. Probably in the next hour stockyard start selling. Yeah,
and uh some of the stockyards were cool with me
getting down there, being back there, and some of them
(21:33):

down there all the time. They just had to get
mad at me.
Speaker 4 (21:38):

is there's a vast difference between country boys and farm boys.
There are They're not the same thing.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We are country boys.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
We grew up in woods, creeks, hollers, river bottoms, fished
off the banks, allers, that's.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
What we did, right, We're country boys.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
We did not grow up milky cows.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
So we were running them through the shoot you were
talking about, and then we can come down here. They
would pull this liver and it would like plamp down.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Cow guy, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm just being honest. I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
So I know, so the cow everybody else does.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
So he does the first one. There's there's dodoo going everywhere,
and then he the second one comes Toro, he slams
it down. He's like, all right, reaches grab a tail,
and he's down here right because he's nut level.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I'm up. I'm standing up with the tail. Well.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I had no idea. Dude, cow's got long tails. Dude,
they're long.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I didn't know. Did you know that time?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, So I grab the tail, I flip it up
into neutral, and when I do, the tail whips up
into the air, comes by my left shoulder and paints
a perfect doo dooo stripe from his eyes, straight under
his nose, across his lips and across his chin. And
I have an extremely weak stomach.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Dude, always that we do our own family, that's right.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
And so I'm like, oh man, he's got a dude
stripe painted on his face and he goes like this.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
I see that you can't hell, but like, if you

dirty duodoo.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
On the end of this got tongue, and I old, man,

Glad that didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You ever get to your mouth, Yeah, I've had plenty
of so that's a pretty normal thing. I grabbed the tail.
For years, we had this old wood shoot from my
dad built in like two thousand and one or two,
when we moved up to our house and we run
the cows through there, they catch them in the head. Shoot,
you'd pin them up against the wall where you hip
(28:38):
throw the throw the tail over there, you go down,
cut them off.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
See y'all cut them? This was banding, Is there two?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I guess there's a long club. They've been banding a
lot more recently. When I was younger, they'd cut them. Gotcha?
How long for real?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Do you think out of the gate you could stay
on a bull?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Well, there's different classifications of bulls.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Are we talking like, dude? PB our championship, World championship?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
One second? Not very long? Yeah, point five seconds?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
I mean on a real one, Yeah, I mean on
like old Sancho out there and the pasture has been
there for fifteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Like this now even bull right, you're just literally riding it.
I'm talking about a bucking one day, less.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Than a second, not very long, yees. I mean that's
just been on me and you're pretty thick guys. Oh
yeah for sure. Is that a disadvantage on bull riding?
Oh yeah, Once your moment gets going on, I fail
you feel that. Yeah, I've been rollerblading before I get
I went skiing the other day, first time ever snowskin. Yeah.
We were in Park City, Utah. I would have loved
(29:39):
to what do you wear? First off? Did you wears
and boots?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
No? No?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I had some. I had some, put some PJS on,
some sweatpants. Good. Later I had a duck hunting jacket
and threw it on, zipped up, and my tour manager
and my acoustic guitar player were going and I was like,
I'm going. They were like are you sure? And we're
party professional skiers go up there to practice. So we
(30:07):
get on the ski lift and I'm like hell yeah,
and it's beautiful up there, it's cold. We go to
get off the ski lift and it's straight down a
hill and I'm like holy So I finally get stopped.
So you do it?
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Though, you go, I mean you're not falling.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I didn't fall. I went about thirty yards, didn't fall.
Turned to go down the big hill and this is
a big ass hill and I'm like, fuck it. So
I sent it go about forty fifty yards and I'm
like I'm going way too damn fast and these sticks
and started doing nothing, so I just hate it. I
(30:45):
got up ate it again one more time and I
could see the ski lift from where I was at
and Uh, I looked up my tour managers, like, I
think you can make it down the hill. I said, man,
we got some shows to play. I got back on
that thing, went down there, and UH went and got
me some breakfast.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
There you go, but you did it, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Me and Dan.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
One time we're out in Denver with a group doing
the same thing. We snowboard, or used to until I
broke my ribs and elbow and had about six concussions.
We got old and Uh and we got on this
lift because there was this one run we wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
We've been watching it all day and we got on
this lift and we were we were going, were like, dude,
we were getting pumped up.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's gonna be so much fun. And all of a sudden,
that run got like was like down here, and we
were like, hang on, man, where are we going? And
we ended up riding to the double black diamond at
the top of the ski lift, and it was We're
the only snoring snowboard. When you were standing there looking
at it, you couldn't see the slope. All you saw
(31:46):
was like the edge of the mountains. And then it
was just like you're just gonna fall off the I had.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
A full blown panic attactor. I was like, I don't know,
it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I'm good down for terrifed. You can't ride the lift down.
You know their lights like you, I have.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
To figure this out. Just slide down took all all day. Dude.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Uh saw a photo of you with a with a
buck you killed, and uh was it last fall?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
It was the fall before that. I didn't get in
the woods much. Last fall, we were just going and
then I had a couple of weeks off and just
just did a bunch of different Yeah, killed it behind
our family's farm, and it was getting close to the
end of season. So I just it's aw nice ten point.
(32:28):
It was a nice tear. I didn't seen it. It's
awesome hanging on my wall in my house.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Did you do much Did you do much hunting growing up?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah? Uh, I'll go deer hunting with my daddy and
rabbit hunting and yeah, dove and we had a couple
of coon dogs growing up. Go let the dog out
in the woods. Light up a bowl and it starts
barking track through the woods and dog coon.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Though I've never done that, man, And I've always thought
there's like this allure to it because it happens at night, right,
Like that's gotta be if you did it a lot,
you got to have seen some stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Oh yeah, you see a lot of different animals and
you just run up on people's backyards. And we had
this big piece of property that my daddy rent and
bought and then sold. As I got older, I had
a buddy of mine's names Trent Saxon. He had a
(33:24):
bunch of coon dogs and the like the best thing
you can do as a coon dogs be like a
Grand Night champion. He was a two time Grand Night Champion,
Grand to Night Grand Night Champions. You take five or
six dogs out there, and you go to different properties
all throughout the night, over a couple of nights, and
(33:44):
it's like each dog has like a home place, y'all go,
just like you're playing at home. Yeah, So they let
out about five dogs and then each one of them
has a distinct bark, so they'll go down there and
whatever and gets on the tree first. That'd be people
arguing about who's because one one dog gets on it
(34:06):
the rest of the dogs.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, but you're listening for the first bar. It's a
race to that trick.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
And they don't. They don't shoot them out during the competitions,
right that way, they can just keep keep getting to it. Yeah,
but he was. It was a two time grandmar Yeah,
and the daddy before that was like a It was
like a two or three time Grandnight champion.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's gotta be fun there are they? Do you get
anything for the hides or is it just coming fun
to go do nothing?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
They didn't never get anything for the hides.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah, I knew it one time there were something. But
I think the farther south you get, the less they're
worth because they're not as thick.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
You know. It's like Northern Coons.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Play college football Georgia Southern. What what did you play?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Nose guard? Okay, I was, I was waying about two
ninety then down in the down in the shoulders. Yeah,
just we played a either called a three man front
or five man front, head up nose guard, two ends
or two d tackles and the three and the four
(35:08):
eye and then two outside linebackers. I always called it
a five man front. The outside linebackers walk up and
I was just eating double teams left and right.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
But that's that's uh yeah, I've played that position. That's
a You're getting smacked around down there, a lot pulling guards.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah. Did you love it or did you like it?
I loved it until we got near my last year,
and then you see I'm a really business minded person. Okay,
but uh you just see. You just see how business
(35:51):
it is when you get there as a kid that
just got out of high school, I'm about to play
college football. The hypes's so crazy. First year we were
two and ten. Everybody's pointing the finger. I was like, wow,
it's a toxic cast. Play Yeah. In turn, coach gets
hired as a head coach. Next year, we go ten
(36:11):
and three, We go win the Chamella Bowl down in Mobile,
Alabama by the last second field goal. They go to
a bowl gain. The next year, I think we win.
The next year, I think we lost. And then coming
into my last season, I tore my knee up in
(36:32):
the spring and had surgery and started writing songs and
August rolled Around let out my first song. September rolled
Around was half healthy enough to play.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
So I so you released that you released a song
while you were still on the team.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah. The nil deal had just come around where you
get paid.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
To uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Do external stuff outside of football, like it would happen,
but you couldn't legally like take somebody paying for your
meal at a restaurant, or like somebody just sending giving
you some free stuff or like trying to give you
a deal. Yeah until twenty twenty one. In July twenty
twenty one, head I cut my first song and all
(37:21):
this stuff, let it out and I checked the beer
on top of the bus on the way of the
game got famous. Yeah, they barstool blew it up. The
athletic director gave me an ultimatum. It was like, look,
all right, all right, right, let's start, let's lay out.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
So you shoot this beer, right some one of your
buddies filmed it.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I guess, uh no, some random sorority girl that my
girlfriend at the time knew.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Okay, were you like I'm about to get up on
top of this bus and shoot.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
This, I mean, were you trying to fire a pa tamo?
What was the point? Now? We just ride these buses
around campus and they do like these dang like battle
chants in the bush like just get your mind locked
in stuff, and there's they're ragged out buses and people
would sit on the top or I want the first
person up there. I was the first person filmed. Gosh
and uh, I don't know if anybody ever surfed it
(38:12):
like I did, ye, but uh, it wasn't playing. It
wasn't a stunt or anything. They just where'd you get
the beer?
Speaker 7 (38:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Dude that was a bartender at the bar that was
right up the street flashed it to me and I
was like, give me that. He and h took it down.
We played the game with all spot touchdown and.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Then uh, you wake up the next morning and it's
like mega famous.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, coach brings me in the office. Athletic directors suspends me.
I'm suspended for a week. I play a game. My
numbers start going up for music because Barstool shouted me
out for my music and I just keep hosting it.
And they were like, I knew that the season was
pretty shit. I didn't like how everybody was like treating everybody.
(38:58):
I was like that, yeah so business minded, Yeah, no doubt.
So they brought me in. Thought they were going to
give me an ultimatum that was gonna make me like
settle down. Stop. They were like, you can either play
football and be on this team, which we want you
to do, or you can make country music and start
start now, or you can make it at the end
(39:19):
of the season. Dang. So I just told him I'm out.
So this is gonna pay my bills and my kids
tuition one day. Yeah, and this ain't five eleven and
a half. I play nose guard. I ain't going to.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Leave five eleven half like your boy maybe with those
boots on.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Now five eleven it says six foot on always went
six foot six foot on my damn license.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Now, same dude, screen Tom, This dude, This dude loves
the fact that it says six foot on his license.
I mean, they just complete both. They just tell the
truth on there. You know, it's like you can't it.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Just I still says, I wait two fifteen, I wait
to forty. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
It sounds perception, baby, perception's reality. So you do that
music starts going awesome? Are you start playing shows? I'm
assuming you find a band. You're like, all right, let's start,
let's get rocking.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Hit up this guy. Then I went to preschool with
that played drums in preschool. Remember he probably started he
probably started playing when he was like eight or nine.
Guy that played offensive line, Yeah, he played guitar. We
(40:37):
got together. I hit up the main bar there. They
said I could play for drinks. So I went to
their competitor and it was like, look, I want I
want to play for a little bit of money. Yeah,
I've got this a little bit of a clout, Yeah,
through a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Dang right, what's up?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah. Acoustic player never met the electric player. Electric players,
acustic players never met the drummer. We practice about twenty
five songs playing this back deck of this bar called
Southern Social on Tuesday on Syll this week, lying out
of the door really yeah, just it's packed, slam packed.
And uh I introduced them all a little bit later
(41:18):
we play the show Nail. All the songs didn't have
a bass player, just drummer. Acoustic. I said, make that,
make that electric.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Sound playing that top string a lot.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah. And my first song, Ain't No Cure come out
that Friday. I think I let it on Thursday. I
didn't know anything about release or release cycle or anything.
I was like, a song comes out on Thursday, and
the people in the crowd were singing along because I've
been posting it two days before it come out. And
(41:51):
I was like, dang, this is cool. Yeah, that is cool.
And I just started letting out songs one after another.
I'm average and probably like one point four songs a
month since it started. Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Just AND's funny how that like when you when you're like,
make the decision, all right, man, I need a band,
you literally just call anybody you know that plays any instrument.
You need a drummer, you need a guitar player. So
it always starts with yeah, guys on the team, guys,
you brothers know all that came.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I was recording my hometown and these guys were recording
on me the first couple of songs, and when I
go to the studio one morning, they sent me a
text two minutes for long ass text just said they
didn't like my style of music, didn't think it was
going anywhere, and they didn't want to waste the time
on it. Wow. I was pretty pissed off, pretty discouraged. Yeah,
(42:50):
I just and I walked in there to my producer
and he looked at me. He said, Man, I've been
waiting for you too far. He was like, I'm gonna
get you some good people on here. So he just
starts throwing people that he knew that was around my
age at me that he thought could do a good job.
I picked up the good ones along the way. Yeah.
(43:11):
I've been rocking ever since. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
How do you think like from a young age working
growing up on a cattle farm, hard work, consistency, you know, repetition,
Like does that does that play into your music now?
Like like the go getting attitude.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
It's like sewing buttons on a shirt, and first when
you figure out how to do it, it's it's the
same as it was last time riding the bike. It's
just I've learned a lot of that from the farm,
just working with my daddy. I just loved having a
good work ethic. And then football did the same thing.
It's like five am alarm goes off three times a week,
(43:51):
going in there to kick your own ass.
Speaker 4 (43:54):
So and and the business is a lot like that,
isn't it. It's crazy how like you have people who
their opinions up about you, whether that's right or wrong,
as long as you keep putting in the work, it
seems to pay off, you know, keep staying on the
I mean twenty eight days of the road, sixteen shows,
that's a that's a prime example, dude.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
And at that point, I mean, look, the songs are
speaking for themselves, right like, like it's you millions of streams,
you know, shows are booking out the out every you know,
out everywhere, and at that point, nobody can tell you anything. No,
you know, I mean, what are they going to say
that you're doing it wrong?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
No, you're not.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
It's working. Yeah. I just like when I hear a
lot of I just drop another one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
I know you said that in the right The day
we wrote you were just like, whenever anybody thinks that
they've got me cornered and we're heading a certain direction,
He's like, I just want to right turn that bitch
completely different. You tell me about Unlucky strikes man. You
wrote that with someboddies of ours.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
I wrote that with A Will Bundy and Eric Dillon
and Jack Routing.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I don't know Jack, but I know the other two dudes.
We love the other two dudes.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yeah, Jack's the buddy of mine that went to U. G.
A And Uh, he come to town and I was cutting
some songs of me and him wrote together and got him.
He got him a pub deal over at Warner Chapel
and he's been writing like crazy with everybody in town.
He's he's gonna write some hits around here. Awesome. Yeah,
IVE heard his name before and then, uh yeah, I
(45:21):
never wrote with Will Bundy or Eric Dillon. I just
my publisher at Sony got me together with those guys
and we went in there and I heard Eric Dillon
for years. I've been listening to some of the stuff
he writes, the craziest sad stuff awesome. And uh, I
went in there and I was we were just shooting.
(45:42):
I said, Eric, I want to let you know I
love that song. Man. I missed that dog and I've
loved it for a couple of years now or a
year and a half now. And my dog got run over.
I come off a stage at Right the Country. My
parents were there. It's like a hometown show, like a
couple of hours from my house, and uh, my parents
are crying. They told my dog got run over, and uh,
(46:05):
next week I had to put her down because they
couldn't do the surgery on her. And tough. So I
was it's all good, ain't. I ain't harping on it,
but I was just gonna let you know I love
that song. And then Jack Brown said, I didn't tell
you my bank account got which about five minutes later
he was like, I didn't tell you my bank account
got drained and uh they took all my money. Well,
(46:26):
he said, I just got it back. It's been a week.
I had zero dollars. And then uh, Will Bundy was like, well,
I got this song called Unlucky Strikes about some bad
stuff that happens to you. I was like, well, what's
what's a couple of things that really eat at you?
I was like, well, my grandpa's getting older. He's my
(46:46):
last grandpa grandparent, and uh so that that eats at
me all the time. And then I was like, let's
say something wrong with you right here? Yeah, and uh,
I was like his girlfriend was a stripper. That's probably
that's so that would suck. Do you have any ex
girlfriends that a strippers? Not that I know? No, that's
(47:12):
a test.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, no, I mean I had no hope either. I
don't think so I don't either.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
H I'll that you brought that up.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
We did a little.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
I think I think we brought our own version. Now
I don't know what I do with my don't I
can't do it.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
My dumb god ride home like creating God stop and
Bar's move in, Slow girls on the Bool Ben rolling
snake guys man.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Something ain't right. Yes, I've been smoking and talking all
over Lucky Shry. Keep going. We didn't do too, did we?
We didn't do two verses? Go ahead, it's uh, it's
gee e minor c Slaw. Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
I'm gonna try it. This is our version we wrote
this morning.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
My dog Juede, my Jordan's, my yards full of moles.
I just broke the tip off my new fish and
pole the best farm.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
I hunt, got no turkeys inside.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
Yes, I've been smoking on talking on Unlucky stripe.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Hell yeah, maybe maybe a country version of Unlucky.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
I'm glad we got you to do the real version
first way.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
Better me too, Yeah, Unlucky strikes dude, We all got
them right.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
So what's your what's your what's your releasing songs?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Process? Like?
Speaker 2 (48:45):
How like how many of you releasing? What's what's the
time apart? Well, is there a formula to it.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
When I started out, I figured out let out a
song of month song a month every two months when
I ordered, because I was trying to get a surplus
of songs. Yeah, So I'd let out one and I
was like, I gotta write three to five songs. So
I'd write, I'd let out one right, three to five,
let out one right, three to five, stacking them up
just so I get yeah, ready for an album. And
(49:15):
at first it was just me rotten and uh. I
saw my best growth on streams of monthly listeners when
I would just hit them with them really And I
feel like twenty twenty one was still right before music
started like getting let out like crazy. Sure, and it
(49:39):
was starting to happen. People are starting to let out
a lot of music at a time, but.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
That's still COVID, right, two words, that still COVID or.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Yeah. And so I did that for a while, watch
the numbers grow, and I wouldn't let them fall. When
I'd see that, I'd watch the I'd watch the graph
on my business mind. I'd watch my graph on my
artist page, and i'd see when it peak and then
ride about right here and when it dip off that
that next Sunday. The most I'd be like, oh it's
(50:08):
time to let out a song for it. Yeah, graph
goes down before you lose the momentum. Yeah, And then
got away from that a little bit. Let out an
album last year, gave it a little time to rest,
which what little time was like three months of not
releasing something was just like a lot for me. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
Yeah, man, I like you're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
You're all over the internet, your viral, every video you
put up, You're posting sometimes five times a day.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Like do you do you get tired of it?
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Like is it do you feel like it's sustainable or
do you just like, hey man, I'm just gonna roll
this thing as long as it can possibly go.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
And when it when it stops, it stops.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Yeah, it's sustainable. It's just had to change up our
content some there's been there's seasons of different I suddenly
like a nerd when you said it's the game, right,
the algorithm changes. You be hitting on a lick and
you'll be like, hell, yeah, these videos are working this
style of video this one week, it's good quality videos
(51:16):
are doing good. Next week, only cell phone videos are
doing good.
Speaker 4 (51:21):
Jumps is loving this section right here, This is wheelhouse.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
And sometimes I'll throw a caption above, just a random
caption above the video.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Don't give away your secrets.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
I mean it's it's it's basically, it's just influencer stuff,
just like I mean, it ain't. It ain't a secret.
You can go scroll on TikTok and see what's doing
good and what you gotta but the algorithm changes. Like
a couple uh, a couple of weeks ago, TikTok was
(51:57):
like down. Instagram was killing I was getting like three
hundred thousand use a video on Instagram getting like fifty
to one hundred on TikTok, which I've got more followers
on TikTok, and they'll just be down weeks.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
It's crazy. I had no idea that was even a thing.
I just assumed it was just mechanical and did the
same thing all the time.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
No, they'd been messing with it.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Wow, Well you probably got plenty of content, especially like
from your shows. It's just like us man like like
we're like, man, what can we you know what we
get it? But our life every day we're doing something
outdoorsy just about man. We're either going fishing or we're
on a tractor or going on a hunt or something
like with you. I see, I see the shows that
(52:41):
you're doing and just how how wild they get and
shirts off you're climbing up the speaker polls, and the
content is probably not lacking, I would.
Speaker 4 (52:52):
Say, especially if you're playing sixteen shows in twenty eight days. Man,
you're probably you've probably got plenty of well. I mean
that's where arguably one of your biggest videos getting smacked
in the face of that beer can came from with
a live show.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah, did you see the guys?
Speaker 2 (53:07):
I just want to hear it because I don't know
about that. I just want to hear it from the jump.
Was it was it open or was it it was
like three quarters full three quarters full? Where did he
hit me right here and went across my nose? And
honestly right here on my nose was sore for but
it didn't brewise up. Yeah, I ate it and I
said some choice things.
Speaker 4 (53:26):
Yeah, but I thought, I mean, even on the thing,
I thought you handled it correctly, as correctly as you
possibly could have. I mean, dude, I mean, it had
to take everything in you not to lay that guitar
down and just go I mean jump off that.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
Day A doubt that state it was. It was close.
But so did you just see the guy? Do you?
Can you see the guy's face in your head right
now through I just looked at the general direction. I
didn't know who it was. I just started raising hell.
I mean he thought that I saw him because I
looked just dead in the middle of that crowd.
Speaker 4 (54:00):
Dude, I bet he breaks that's I mean, he should
have been. Yeah, no, it don't don't throw don't.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
Throw things at the guy. But bro, it just adds
to it, just adds to the brand a little bit.
I feel like, you know, like the rock show, Yeah,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Just brand is one of the rowdiest shows. It's not
the rowdiest in country music.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
And it's probably an experience too that people want to
go check out. Man, it looks it looks fun, it
looks kind of scary, like it looks wild, you know
what I'm saying, Like it looks more of like an
experience than a show.
Speaker 4 (54:34):
Go ahead, So you got Well, I'm just saying I
hope the listener understands also that like, it's not just
a rock show. I mean, there's quality tunes in there
that the band sounds good. You sound good like it's
not just a complete free free for all. I mean,
you're still getting a great country show at the same time.
You know, like, you got good songs, you sound good
singing them too. It's not just it's not just that
(54:57):
you take your shirt off, you know. It's that you
take your shirt off and good songs at the same time.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Yeah, when we started, I told the guys the other
day that weren't in the band forever. I said, Man,
we used to get song four or five, I had
no shirt on the next seventeen, wait till later in
the show. Now we hold it till like the last
three songs. I don't. I went out there the first
(55:24):
time we played in Mobile, Alabama at a heart We
sold hard tickets and uh, where'd you play? We know
that we know that area pretty well. Yeah yeah, yeah,
And uh, first couple of shows I played in Statesburg,
it was hot as hell. Yeah, so I ripped my
(55:45):
shirt open just to stay cool. We're inside of co
pub and the roofs like this tall overhead speakers are
butted up to the ceiling. It's not a very long room,
so it gets back there. But it's just loud, hot summertime,
and I gotta rip my shirt off and everybody in
(56:05):
the crowd loose. So that's just when I'm so now,
it's just the thing. It's gonna happen. You're gonna do
it forever.
Speaker 3 (56:13):
What about old I'm about to just thin up, thin
up hashtag thin up baby.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Uh you said, like when you were playing football, y'all
had these chants on the bus to and like getting
your mind right and getting locked in and all that thing.
Speaker 3 (56:29):
It kind of feels like your show's the same experience.
Speaker 2 (56:33):
Like you're getting ready for a game, You're getting ready
for something that's about to be super intense.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Get focused.
Speaker 3 (56:38):
What is the new what's the new pre show ritual
that gets gets you and the boys right?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
We do change over, and the guys go on stage,
set everything up, They get done, We come in there,
we pray, and then uh, my tour manager starts playing
Thunderstruck and the whole band passes around four beers.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
Let's give me in a circle because you're warning that struck.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
I wasn't, And we just circle four beers around water
following them around.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
Okay, and then uh, it's pretty nuts.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
About everybody except for one guy gets in a circle
and we slap each other's chest. Wait, why did the
one guy do it? Because he's just just a little
he's a little skinny guy, John soft chest chest. I'm
I've been like John, come here, he's like you slap him.
(57:38):
Ever I've gave him a few little bit. Yeah yeah,
now it's now it's a thing. Yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
That's that's intense.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
Maybe we should do that right now, dude, just get
fired up for great. I'm good man, I'm sorry, I'm John.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
I'll be John. You guys go ahead, I'll play thunder truck. Hey, uh,
turn it man.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
You got a headlining tour, owning the Need to Need
to Know tour and twenty five you're doing your own
thing going out on the road with Morgan Walling.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Uh what uh what else you got in store?
Speaker 1 (58:09):
Man?
Speaker 3 (58:09):
Like you got songs coming out?
Speaker 1 (58:10):
You got Yeah, we're uh, we're gonna be chugging along
and released them at a pretty rapid cadence.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
All year, literally chugging and figuratively.
Speaker 1 (58:20):
Yeah literally, fatively, we're gonna playing a bunch of new
songs on the knee to tour and hearing about a
week and a half we're dropping what is it two weeks?
About two weeks we're dropping a new song called Never
Call Again. It's just about that person you'd forget about
(58:41):
if everything in the world just didn't remind you of them.
And uh, a few weeks after that, we're uh letting
out a song we wrote, Let's Go with with Rett.
It's a rowdy party song. So as soon as soon
as you think I'm gonna let out something that's clean,
so you we're gonna let out something it's just a
(59:01):
little rowdy for summer time for everybody. It's called on one.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
Oh yeah, So it's out Friday.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, Never Call Again coming out Friday. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
Can we talk about on one or no? Okay?
Speaker 4 (59:14):
So it's interesting. The first time I wrote with Gavin, uh,
the night before I feel like I'm always talking about
my kids body training on this show all the time.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Actually just one of them.
Speaker 3 (59:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (59:28):
But he my little guy was just going nuts, dude.
And I told Gavin this before we wrote the song.
I said, man, what snap? My guy was going nuts?
And my wife said, God, I'm glad you're home. I
said why, She said, his bone has been on one
and I was like Man on one is a pretty
cool title.
Speaker 1 (59:44):
I just put it on my phone.
Speaker 4 (59:46):
I knew I had Gavin coming up the next day,
and he came in and when you started playing, you
had that riff and that melody already, and it was
like the title just sunk in there perfect, And I
was like, hey, man, I don't know, I said, this
kind of feels we weirdly divine, but I got this
title and it sinks in.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
With exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
And you had I mean, he had the whole melody,
the whole core progression, like pretty much done when he
walked in, So to be able to just slide that
in there was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
That's a that's a tough song. So thanks for cutting it.
Oh yeah, no doubt it's gonna be. It's gonna be
a summer anthem. Hell yeah, all right, we like to

Cow guy, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm just being honest. I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
So I know, so the cow everybody else does.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
So he does the first one. There's there's dodoo going everywhere,
and then he the second one comes Toro, he slams
it down. He's like, all right, reaches grab a tail,
and he's down here right because he's nut level.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I'm up. I'm standing up with the tail. Well.

they're long.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I didn't know. Did you know that time?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah, So I grab the tail, I flip it up
into neutral, and when I do, the tail whips up
into the air, comes by my left shoulder and paints
a perfect doo dooo stripe from his eyes, straight under
his nose, across his lips and across his chin. And
I have an extremely weak stomach.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Dude, always that we do our own family, that's right.

dirty duodoo.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
On the end of this got tongue, and I old, man,
oh man, you got a little.
Speaker 4 (27:26):

Glad that didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You ever get to your mouth, Yeah, I've had plenty
of so that's a pretty normal thing. I grabbed the tail.
For years, we had this old wood shoot from my
dad built in like two thousand and one or two,
when we moved up to our house and we run
the cows through there, they catch them in the head. Shoot,
you'd pin them up against the wall where you hip
(28:38):
throw the throw the tail over there, you go down,
cut them off.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
See y'all cut them? This was banding, Is there two?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I guess there's a long club. They've been banding a
lot more recently. When I was younger, they'd cut them. Gotcha?
How long for real?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Do you think out of the gate you could stay
on a bull?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Well, there's different classifications of bulls.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Are we talking like, dude? PB our championship, World championship?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
One second? Not very long? Yeah, point five seconds?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
I mean on a real one, Yeah, I mean on
like old Sancho out there and the pasture has been
there for fifteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Like this now even bull right, you're just literally riding it.
I'm talking about a bucking one day, less.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Than a second, not very long, yees. I mean that's
just been on me and you're pretty thick guys. Oh
yeah for sure. Is that a disadvantage on bull riding?
Oh yeah, Once your moment gets going on, I fail
you feel that. Yeah, I've been rollerblading before I get
I went skiing the other day, first time ever snowskin. Yeah.
We were in Park City, Utah. I would have loved
(29:39):
to what do you wear? First off? Did you wears
and boots?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
No? No?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I had some. I had some, put some PJS on,
some sweatpants. Good. Later I had a duck hunting jacket
and threw it on, zipped up, and my tour manager
and my acoustic guitar player were going and I was like,
I'm going. They were like are you sure? And we're
party professional skiers go up there to practice. So we
(30:07):
get on the ski lift and I'm like hell yeah,
and it's beautiful up there, it's cold. We go to
get off the ski lift and it's straight down a
hill and I'm like holy So I finally get stopped.
So you do it?
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Though, you go, I mean you're not falling.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I didn't fall. I went about thirty yards, didn't fall.
Turned to go down the big hill and this is
a big ass hill and I'm like, fuck it. So
I sent it go about forty fifty yards and I'm
like I'm going way too damn fast and these sticks
and started doing nothing, so I just hate it. I
(30:45):
got up ate it again one more time and I
could see the ski lift from where I was at
and Uh, I looked up my tour managers, like, I
think you can make it down the hill. I said, man,
we got some shows to play. I got back on
that thing, went down there, and UH went and got
me some breakfast.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
There you go, but you did it, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Me and Dan.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
One time we're out in Denver with a group doing
the same thing. We snowboard, or used to until I
broke my ribs and elbow and had about six concussions.
We got old and Uh and we got on this
lift because there was this one run we wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
We've been watching it all day and we got on
this lift and we were we were going, were like, dude,
we were getting pumped up.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's gonna be so much fun. And all of a sudden,
that run got like was like down here, and we
were like, hang on, man, where are we going? And
we ended up riding to the double black diamond at
the top of the ski lift, and it was We're
the only snoring snowboard. When you were standing there looking
at it, you couldn't see the slope. All you saw
(31:46):
was like the edge of the mountains. And then it
was just like you're just gonna fall off the I had.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
A full blown panic attactor. I was like, I don't know,
it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I'm good down for terrifed. You can't ride the lift down.
You know their lights like you, I have.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
To figure this out. Just slide down took all all day. Dude.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Uh saw a photo of you with a with a
buck you killed, and uh was it last fall?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
It was the fall before that. I didn't get in
the woods much. Last fall, we were just going and
then I had a couple of weeks off and just
just did a bunch of different Yeah, killed it behind
our family's farm, and it was getting close to the
end of season. So I just it's aw nice ten point.
(32:28):
It was a nice tear. I didn't seen it. It's
awesome hanging on my wall in my house.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Did you do much Did you do much hunting growing up?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah? Uh, I'll go deer hunting with my daddy and
rabbit hunting and yeah, dove and we had a couple
of coon dogs growing up. Go let the dog out
in the woods. Light up a bowl and it starts
barking track through the woods and dog coon.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Though I've never done that, man, And I've always thought
there's like this allure to it because it happens at night, right,
Like that's gotta be if you did it a lot,
you got to have seen some stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Oh yeah, you see a lot of different animals and
you just run up on people's backyards. And we had
this big piece of property that my daddy rent and
bought and then sold. As I got older, I had
a buddy of mine's names Trent Saxon. He had a
(33:24):
bunch of coon dogs and the like the best thing
you can do as a coon dogs be like a
Grand Night champion. He was a two time Grand Night Champion,
Grand to Night Grand Night Champions. You take five or
six dogs out there, and you go to different properties
all throughout the night, over a couple of nights, and
(33:44):
it's like each dog has like a home place, y'all go,
just like you're playing at home. Yeah, So they let
out about five dogs and then each one of them
has a distinct bark, so they'll go down there and
whatever and gets on the tree first. That'd be people
arguing about who's because one one dog gets on it
(34:06):
the rest of the dogs.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah, but you're listening for the first bar. It's a
race to that trick.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
And they don't. They don't shoot them out during the competitions,
right that way, they can just keep keep getting to it. Yeah,
but he was. It was a two time grandmar Yeah,
and the daddy before that was like a It was
like a two or three time Grandnight champion.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's gotta be fun there are they? Do you get
anything for the hides or is it just coming fun
to go do nothing?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
They didn't never get anything for the hides.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah, I knew it one time there were something. But
I think the farther south you get, the less they're
worth because they're not as thick.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
You know. It's like Northern Coons.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Play college football Georgia Southern. What what did you play?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Nose guard? Okay, I was, I was waying about two
ninety then down in the down in the shoulders. Yeah,
just we played a either called a three man front
or five man front, head up nose guard, two ends
or two d tackles and the three and the four
(35:08):
eye and then two outside linebackers. I always called it
a five man front. The outside linebackers walk up and
I was just eating double teams left and right.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
But that's that's uh yeah, I've played that position. That's
a You're getting smacked around down there, a lot pulling guards.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah. Did you love it or did you like it?
I loved it until we got near my last year,
and then you see I'm a really business minded person. Okay,
but uh you just see. You just see how business
(35:51):
it is when you get there as a kid that
just got out of high school, I'm about to play
college football. The hypes's so crazy. First year we were
two and ten. Everybody's pointing the finger. I was like, wow,
it's a toxic cast. Play Yeah. In turn, coach gets
hired as a head coach. Next year, we go ten
(36:11):
and three, We go win the Chamella Bowl down in Mobile,
Alabama by the last second field goal. They go to
a bowl gain. The next year, I think we win.
The next year, I think we lost. And then coming
into my last season, I tore my knee up in
(36:32):
the spring and had surgery and started writing songs and
August rolled Around let out my first song. September rolled
Around was half healthy enough to play.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
So I so you released that you released a song
while you were still on the team.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah. The nil deal had just come around where you
get paid.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
To uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Do external stuff outside of football, like it would happen,
but you couldn't legally like take somebody paying for your
meal at a restaurant, or like somebody just sending giving
you some free stuff or like trying to give you
a deal. Yeah until twenty twenty one. In July twenty
twenty one, head I cut my first song and all
(37:21):
this stuff, let it out and I checked the beer
on top of the bus on the way of the
game got famous. Yeah, they barstool blew it up. The
athletic director gave me an ultimatum. It was like, look,
all right, all right, right, let's start, let's lay out.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
So you shoot this beer, right some one of your
buddies filmed it.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I guess, uh no, some random sorority girl that my
girlfriend at the time knew.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Okay, were you like I'm about to get up on
top of this bus and shoot.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
This, I mean, were you trying to fire a pa tamo?
What was the point? Now? We just ride these buses
around campus and they do like these dang like battle
chants in the bush like just get your mind locked
in stuff, and there's they're ragged out buses and people
would sit on the top or I want the first
person up there. I was the first person filmed. Gosh
and uh, I don't know if anybody ever surfed it
(38:12):
like I did, ye, but uh, it wasn't playing. It
wasn't a stunt or anything. They just where'd you get
the beer?
Speaker 7 (38:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Dude that was a bartender at the bar that was
right up the street flashed it to me and I
was like, give me that. He and h took it down.
We played the game with all spot touchdown and.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Then uh, you wake up the next morning and it's
like mega famous.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, coach brings me in the office. Athletic directors suspends me.
I'm suspended for a week. I play a game. My
numbers start going up for music because Barstool shouted me
out for my music and I just keep hosting it.
And they were like, I knew that the season was
pretty shit. I didn't like how everybody was like treating everybody.
(38:58):
I was like that, yeah so business minded, Yeah, no doubt.
So they brought me in. Thought they were going to
give me an ultimatum that was gonna make me like
settle down. Stop. They were like, you can either play
football and be on this team, which we want you
to do, or you can make country music and start
start now, or you can make it at the end
(39:19):
of the season. Dang. So I just told him I'm out.
So this is gonna pay my bills and my kids
tuition one day. Yeah, and this ain't five eleven and
a half. I play nose guard. I ain't going to.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Leave five eleven half like your boy maybe with those
boots on.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Now five eleven it says six foot on always went
six foot six foot on my damn license.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Now, same dude, screen Tom, This dude, This dude loves
the fact that it says six foot on his license.
I mean, they just complete both. They just tell the
truth on there. You know, it's like you can't it.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Just I still says, I wait two fifteen, I wait
to forty. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
It sounds perception, baby, perception's reality. So you do that
music starts going awesome? Are you start playing shows? I'm
assuming you find a band. You're like, all right, let's start,
let's get rocking.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Hit up this guy. Then I went to preschool with
that played drums in preschool. Remember he probably started he
probably started playing when he was like eight or nine.
Guy that played offensive line, Yeah, he played guitar. We
(40:37):
got together. I hit up the main bar there. They
said I could play for drinks. So I went to
their competitor and it was like, look, I want I
want to play for a little bit of money. Yeah,
I've got this a little bit of a clout, Yeah,
through a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Dang right, what's up?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah. Acoustic player never met the electric player. Electric players,
acustic players never met the drummer. We practice about twenty
five songs playing this back deck of this bar called
Southern Social on Tuesday on Syll this week, lying out
of the door really yeah, just it's packed, slam packed.
And uh I introduced them all a little bit later
(41:18):
we play the show Nail. All the songs didn't have
a bass player, just drummer. Acoustic. I said, make that,
make that electric.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Sound playing that top string a lot.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah. And my first song, Ain't No Cure come out
that Friday. I think I let it on Thursday. I
didn't know anything about release or release cycle or anything.
I was like, a song comes out on Thursday, and
the people in the crowd were singing along because I've
been posting it two days before it come out. And
(41:51):
I was like, dang, this is cool. Yeah, that is cool.
And I just started letting out songs one after another.
I'm average and probably like one point four songs a
month since it started. Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
Just AND's funny how that like when you when you're like,
make the decision, all right, man, I need a band,
you literally just call anybody you know that plays any instrument.
You need a drummer, you need a guitar player. So
it always starts with yeah, guys on the team, guys,
you brothers know all that came.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I was recording my hometown and these guys were recording
on me the first couple of songs, and when I
go to the studio one morning, they sent me a
text two minutes for long ass text just said they
didn't like my style of music, didn't think it was
going anywhere, and they didn't want to waste the time
on it. Wow. I was pretty pissed off, pretty discouraged. Yeah,
(42:50):
I just and I walked in there to my producer
and he looked at me. He said, Man, I've been
waiting for you too far. He was like, I'm gonna
get you some good people on here. So he just
starts throwing people that he knew that was around my
age at me that he thought could do a good job.
I picked up the good ones along the way. Yeah.
(43:11):
I've been rocking ever since. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
How do you think like from a young age working
growing up on a cattle farm, hard work, consistency, you know, repetition,
Like does that does that play into your music now?
Like like the go getting attitude.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
It's like sewing buttons on a shirt, and first when
you figure out how to do it, it's it's the
same as it was last time riding the bike. It's
just I've learned a lot of that from the farm,
just working with my daddy. I just loved having a
good work ethic. And then football did the same thing.
It's like five am alarm goes off three times a week,
(43:51):
going in there to kick your own ass.
Speaker 4 (43:54):
So and and the business is a lot like that,
isn't it. It's crazy how like you have people who
their opinions up about you, whether that's right or wrong,
as long as you keep putting in the work, it
seems to pay off, you know, keep staying on the
I mean twenty eight days of the road, sixteen shows,
that's a that's a prime example, dude.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
And at that point, I mean, look, the songs are
speaking for themselves, right like, like it's you millions of streams,
you know, shows are booking out the out every you know,
out everywhere, and at that point, nobody can tell you anything. No,
you know, I mean, what are they going to say
that you're doing it wrong?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
No, you're not.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
It's working. Yeah. I just like when I hear a
lot of I just drop another one. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
I know you said that in the right The day
we wrote you were just like, whenever anybody thinks that
they've got me cornered and we're heading a certain direction,
He's like, I just want to right turn that bitch
completely different. You tell me about Unlucky strikes man. You
wrote that with someboddies of ours.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
I wrote that with A Will Bundy and Eric Dillon
and Jack Routing.
Speaker 4 (44:55):

We love the other two dudes.
Speaker 1 (44:59):

he writes, the craziest sad stuff awesome. And uh, I
went in there and I was we were just shooting.
(45:42):
I said, Eric, I want to let you know I
love that song. Man. I missed that dog and I've
loved it for a couple of years now or a
year and a half now. And my dog got run over.
I come off a stage at Right the Country. My
parents were there. It's like a hometown show, like a
couple of hours from my house, and uh, my parents
are crying. They told my dog got run over, and uh,
(46:05):
next week I had to put her down because they
couldn't do the surgery on her. And tough. So I
was it's all good, ain't. I ain't harping on it,
but I was just gonna let you know I love
that song. And then Jack Brown said, I didn't tell
you my bank account got which about five minutes later
he was like, I didn't tell you my bank account
got drained and uh they took all my money. Well,
(46:26):
he said, I just got it back. It's been a week.
I had zero dollars. And then uh, Will Bundy was like, well,
I got this song called Unlucky Strikes about some bad
stuff that happens to you. I was like, well, what's
what's a couple of things that really eat at you?
I was like, well, my grandpa's getting older. He's my
(46:46):
last grandpa grandparent, and uh so that that eats at
me all the time. And then I was like, let's
say something wrong with you right here? Yeah, and uh,
I was like his girlfriend was a stripper. That's probably
that's so that would suck. Do you have any ex
girlfriends that a strippers? Not that I know? No, that's
(47:12):
a test.
Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, no, I mean I had no hope either. I
don't think so I don't either.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
H I'll that you brought that up.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
We did a little.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
I think I think we brought our own version. Now
I don't know what I do with my don't I
can't do it.
Speaker 7 (47:29):
My dumb god ride home like creating God stop and
Bar's move in, Slow girls on the Bool Ben rolling
snake guys man.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Something ain't right. Yes, I've been smoking and talking all
over Lucky Shry. Keep going. We didn't do too, did we?
We didn't do two verses? Go ahead, it's uh, it's
gee e minor c Slaw. Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
I'm gonna try it. This is our version we wrote
this morning.
Speaker 6 (48:06):
My dog Juede, my Jordan's, my yards full of moles.
I just broke the tip off my new fish and
pole the best farm.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
I hunt, got no turkeys inside.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
Yes, I've been smoking on talking on Unlucky stripe.
Speaker 3 (48:27):
Hell yeah, maybe maybe a country version of Unlucky.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
I'm glad we got you to do the real version
first way.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
Better me too, Yeah, Unlucky strikes dude, We all got
them right.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
So what's your what's your what's your releasing songs?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Process? Like?
Speaker 2 (48:45):
How like how many of you releasing? What's what's the
time apart? Well, is there a formula to it.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
When I started out, I figured out let out a
song of month song a month every two months when
I ordered, because I was trying to get a surplus
of songs. Yeah, So I'd let out one and I
was like, I gotta write three to five songs. So
I'd write, I'd let out one right, three to five,
let out one right, three to five, stacking them up
just so I get yeah, ready for an album. And
(49:15):
at first it was just me rotten and uh. I
saw my best growth on streams of monthly listeners when
I would just hit them with them really And I
feel like twenty twenty one was still right before music
started like getting let out like crazy. Sure, and it
(49:39):
was starting to happen. People are starting to let out
a lot of music at a time, but.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
That's still COVID, right, two words, that still COVID or.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
Yeah. And so I did that for a while, watch
the numbers grow, and I wouldn't let them fall. When
I'd see that, I'd watch the I'd watch the graph
on my business mind. I'd watch my graph on my
artist page, and i'd see when it peak and then
ride about right here and when it dip off that
that next Sunday. The most I'd be like, oh it's
(50:08):
time to let out a song for it. Yeah, graph
goes down before you lose the momentum. Yeah, And then
got away from that a little bit. Let out an
album last year, gave it a little time to rest,
which what little time was like three months of not
releasing something was just like a lot for me. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
Yeah, man, I like you're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
You're all over the internet, your viral, every video you
put up, You're posting sometimes five times a day.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Like do you do you get tired of it?
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Like is it do you feel like it's sustainable or
do you just like, hey man, I'm just gonna roll
this thing as long as it can possibly go.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
And when it when it stops, it stops.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Yeah, it's sustainable. It's just had to change up our
content some there's been there's seasons of different I suddenly
like a nerd when you said it's the game, right,
the algorithm changes. You be hitting on a lick and
you'll be like, hell, yeah, these videos are working this
style of video this one week, it's good quality videos
(51:16):
are doing good. Next week, only cell phone videos are
doing good.
Speaker 4 (51:21):
Jumps is loving this section right here, This is wheelhouse.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
And sometimes I'll throw a caption above, just a random
caption above the video.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Don't give away your secrets.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
I mean it's it's it's basically, it's just influencer stuff,
just like I mean, it ain't. It ain't a secret.
You can go scroll on TikTok and see what's doing
good and what you gotta but the algorithm changes. Like
a couple uh, a couple of weeks ago, TikTok was
(51:57):
like down. Instagram was killing I was getting like three
hundred thousand use a video on Instagram getting like fifty
to one hundred on TikTok, which I've got more followers
on TikTok, and they'll just be down weeks.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
It's crazy. I had no idea that was even a thing.
I just assumed it was just mechanical and did the
same thing all the time.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
No, they'd been messing with it.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Wow, Well you probably got plenty of content, especially like
from your shows. It's just like us man like like
we're like, man, what can we you know what we
get it? But our life every day we're doing something
outdoorsy just about man. We're either going fishing or we're
on a tractor or going on a hunt or something
like with you. I see, I see the shows that
(52:41):
you're doing and just how how wild they get and
shirts off you're climbing up the speaker polls, and the
content is probably not lacking, I would.
Speaker 4 (52:52):
Say, especially if you're playing sixteen shows in twenty eight days. Man,
you're probably you've probably got plenty of well. I mean
that's where arguably one of your biggest videos getting smacked
in the face of that beer can came from with
a live show.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah, did you see the guys?
Speaker 2 (53:07):
I just want to hear it because I don't know
about that. I just want to hear it from the jump.
Was it was it open or was it it was
like three quarters full three quarters full? Where did he
hit me right here and went across my nose? And
honestly right here on my nose was sore for but
it didn't brewise up. Yeah, I ate it and I
said some choice things.
Speaker 4 (53:26):
Yeah, but I thought, I mean, even on the thing,
I thought you handled it correctly, as correctly as you
possibly could have. I mean, dude, I mean, it had
to take everything in you not to lay that guitar
down and just go I mean jump off that.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
Day A doubt that state it was. It was close.
But so did you just see the guy? Do you?
Can you see the guy's face in your head right
now through I just looked at the general direction. I
didn't know who it was. I just started raising hell.
I mean he thought that I saw him because I
looked just dead in the middle of that crowd.
Speaker 4 (54:00):
Dude, I bet he breaks that's I mean, he should
have been. Yeah, no, it don't don't throw don't.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
Throw things at the guy. But bro, it just adds
to it, just adds to the brand a little bit.
I feel like, you know, like the rock show, Yeah,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Just brand is one of the rowdiest shows. It's not
the rowdiest in country music.
Speaker 2 (54:22):
And it's probably an experience too that people want to
go check out. Man, it looks it looks fun, it
looks kind of scary, like it looks wild, you know
what I'm saying, Like it looks more of like an
experience than a show.
Speaker 4 (54:34):
Go ahead, So you got Well, I'm just saying I
hope the listener understands also that like, it's not just
a rock show. I mean, there's quality tunes in there
that the band sounds good. You sound good like it's
not just a complete free free for all. I mean,
you're still getting a great country show at the same time.
You know, like, you got good songs, you sound good
singing them too. It's not just it's not just that
(54:57):
you take your shirt off, you know. It's that you
take your shirt off and good songs at the same time.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Yeah, when we started, I told the guys the other
day that weren't in the band forever. I said, Man,
we used to get song four or five, I had
no shirt on the next seventeen, wait till later in
the show. Now we hold it till like the last
three songs. I don't. I went out there the first
(55:24):
time we played in Mobile, Alabama at a heart We
sold hard tickets and uh, where'd you play? We know
that we know that area pretty well. Yeah yeah, yeah,
And uh, first couple of shows I played in Statesburg,
it was hot as hell. Yeah, so I ripped my
(55:45):
shirt open just to stay cool. We're inside of co
pub and the roofs like this tall overhead speakers are
butted up to the ceiling. It's not a very long room,
so it gets back there. But it's just loud, hot summertime,
and I gotta rip my shirt off and everybody in
(56:05):
the crowd loose. So that's just when I'm so now,
it's just the thing. It's gonna happen. You're gonna do
it forever.
Speaker 3 (56:13):
What about old I'm about to just thin up, thin
up hashtag thin up baby.
Speaker 2 (56:21):
Uh you said, like when you were playing football, y'all
had these chants on the bus to and like getting
your mind right and getting locked in and all that thing.
Speaker 3 (56:29):
It kind of feels like your show's the same experience.
Speaker 2 (56:33):
Like you're getting ready for a game, You're getting ready
for something that's about to be super intense.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Get focused.
Speaker 3 (56:38):
What is the new what's the new pre show ritual
that gets gets you and the boys right?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
We do change over, and the guys go on stage,
set everything up, They get done, We come in there,
we pray, and then uh, my tour manager starts playing
Thunderstruck and the whole band passes around four beers.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
Let's give me in a circle because you're warning that struck.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
I wasn't, And we just circle four beers around water
following them around.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
Okay, and then uh, it's pretty nuts.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
About everybody except for one guy gets in a circle
and we slap each other's chest. Wait, why did the
one guy do it? Because he's just just a little
he's a little skinny guy, John soft chest chest. I'm
I've been like John, come here, he's like you slap him.
(57:38):
Ever I've gave him a few little bit. Yeah yeah,
now it's now it's a thing. Yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
That's that's intense.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
Maybe we should do that right now, dude, just get
fired up for great. I'm good man, I'm sorry, I'm John.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
I'll be John. You guys go ahead, I'll play thunder truck. Hey, uh,
turn it man.
Speaker 4 (57:58):
You got a headlining tour, owning the Need to Need
to Know tour and twenty five you're doing your own
thing going out on the road with Morgan Walling.
Speaker 3 (58:07):
Uh what uh what else you got in store?
Speaker 1 (58:09):
Man?
Speaker 3 (58:09):
Like you got songs coming out?
Speaker 1 (58:10):
You got Yeah, we're uh, we're gonna be chugging along
and released them at a pretty rapid cadence.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
All year, literally chugging and figuratively.
Speaker 1 (58:20):
Yeah literally, fatively, we're gonna playing a bunch of new
songs on the knee to tour and hearing about a
week and a half we're dropping what is it two weeks?
About two weeks we're dropping a new song called Never
Call Again. It's just about that person you'd forget about
(58:41):
if everything in the world just didn't remind you of them.
And uh, a few weeks after that, we're uh letting
out a song we wrote, Let's Go with with Rett.
It's a rowdy party song. So as soon as soon
as you think I'm gonna let out something that's clean,
so you we're gonna let out something it's just a
(59:01):
little rowdy for summer time for everybody. It's called on one.
Speaker 3 (59:04):
Oh yeah, So it's out Friday.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, Never Call Again coming out Friday. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (59:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
Can we talk about on one or no? Okay?
Speaker 4 (59:14):
So it's interesting. The first time I wrote with Gavin, uh,
the night before I feel like I'm always talking about
my kids body training on this show all the time.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Actually just one of them.
Speaker 3 (59:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (59:28):
But he my little guy was just going nuts, dude.
And I told Gavin this before we wrote the song.
I said, man, what snap? My guy was going nuts?
And my wife said, God, I'm glad you're home. I
said why, She said, his bone has been on one
and I was like Man on one is a pretty
cool title.
Speaker 1 (59:44):
I just put it on my phone.
Speaker 4 (59:46):
I knew I had Gavin coming up the next day,
and he came in and when you started playing, you
had that riff and that melody already, and it was
like the title just sunk in there perfect, And I
was like, hey, man, I don't know, I said, this
kind of feels we weirdly divine, but I got this
title and it sinks in.
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
With exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
And you had I mean, he had the whole melody,
the whole core progression, like pretty much done when he
walked in, So to be able to just slide that
in there was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
That's a that's a tough song. So thanks for cutting it.
Oh yeah, no doubt it's gonna be. It's gonna be
a summer anthem. Hell yeah, all right, we like to
