This week Reid and Dan host CCMA entertainer of the year and hit songwriter, Josh Ross, out in God’s Country. The three dive in on what they’re mad at, and it includes the guys being jealous of how Josh gets to start his mornings, every day. They dive in the on Josh’s Nashville journey from Canada, and the unconventional parking lot he lived in for months before he got his first deal. Josh shares the labor-intensive process of pond management at his new farm and how throwing a line gives him solace from the road. He shares the similarities of fishing up north versus the south, and some of his favorite tactics he’s carried to the states from his upbringing. The episode ends with a Gravorite flex the boys didn’t see coming, but lands at one of the top ones GCP has seen.

bumper the whole way and you could tell he was
like back, and I was like, you know what, bro,
I'm about to I'm about to put you in your place. Dude,
watch this. This is a pro move. Next time you're
(09:05):
doing this and somebody's behind you, do this. So I
slowed down, so he sees like there's like runway in
front of me, you know, to like get ahead a
little bit. So I slow down. I let the car
beside me pass me. He quickly swerves over into the
right lane thing and he's gonna shoot up. Well, I
just slow down. He swerves over, that car stops, he
stops behind them. I let every car get behind me,
(09:27):
and then we all take off and I just leave
him back here.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, he's stuck.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
And I was like, just sit back there and smash
slam into your steir. And I used to just have
the next five minute piece of shit car and I
used to just slam on the brakes and then like,
hope they would hit me because I needed a new car.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I feel that. So what was your piece car?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Pontiac five two thousand and eight, hatch back.
Speaker 5 (09:45):

Speaker 6 (09:50):
I used to sleep in it when I first came
to town.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Heck yeah, yeah, how long How many nights do you
think you spending that thing?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Probably about three four months?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Any Sketchy, Any Sketchy used to.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Park it's onny A TV parking lot and got a
red door and then it's.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Sleep at the sleep in the parlorment. Yeah, it's pretty safe.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It's kind of hard when you're like trying to pick
somebody up or something. You're like, hey, you want to
go back.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
To my car.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Sometimes we lived on a house dude. We lived on
a houseboat for house four years literally at elm Hill.
I mean it's free, right, you don't have to pay
rent paid paid, Isn't it true?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Though, if you're like out in the water, you don't
have to pay No, all of that's not true.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay. Well, I mean, like if you go live on
a houseboat on the water, you can't do that, though.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I mean you could.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Technically, you can't do that. There's a lot of people
that do that. There's not a lot of people that
drive out into the water on Percy pre conhad and
live on their boats. There's not a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Some people can't be like islands and stuff though, right.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That you can't. Yeah, And like we lived technically we
were on the water, but they on the slip so
you pay slip feed. Plus they had internet.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, but we weren't even supposed to be living on
that no, we well we didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, for four years, we just stayed there. We were
just like every night.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's what they that's what they say, is like you well,
I'm sorry, that's what they said at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Now they're saying you can't even live like we did.
But when they when we moved in, they said, you
can't uh live here, you can visit three hundred and
sixty four days a year. This is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, so this is like me coming to the US
and then being like, you only have six months and
you're like counting your days.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Jeez, it wasn't that bad. Okay, yours is probably a
little more official than ours.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, I never got to pored it, so that's good.
You never what I never got the pored so that's good. Yet, yes,
watch your mouth, Josh, what.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Really, It's kind of like I got a I got
a game for this. Don't don't spoil the thing yet,
don't spoil by letting him talk instead of you.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Just just continue what you're mad at. Then we'll get
to the citizenship. I'm mad at you this morning. You
need to calm down. Okay, go ahead, Josh, h o A.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I don't know if you guys have had that some
inside ball it's just a lot of things, like when
we're not around, you gotta cut grass. If you don't
cut grass to send a bill. Sometimes they don't even
put the bill in the mailbox and then like they
send a bill like the city comes around or whoever.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
The h A person is the Karen of the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know, this.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Literally got some Karens, Like literally got some Karens like Karen.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Their name is Karen.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, I think my next door neighbor or Matt and
my producer is next door neighbors Karen.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
She's like the head of the HOA. It's crazy, is
yours Karen? No?
Speaker 2 (12:26):

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Their big thing was my shit and the tree's hanging
over the road. Yes, no, some true that the suckers
coming at the bottom of the tree. Why they were
saying that is devalue in our neighborhood. Yeah, I mean
probably what the what coming out of the tree. They
call them suckers at the bottom, like you like, yeah,
like new growth coming out of the bottom of the train.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That truth. Oh, they're called suckers.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
It probably does look really terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not anymore because they got so mad they cut it themselves,
and I told them they could do it, and.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Then they send you a bill. So that's what happened
is they cut my grass and then send the bill.
Ain't cut your grass, and then said the bill up.
It was like it was like how much was thirty
by thirty piece of grass? And it was like two
hundred and fifty dollars and fifteen minutes g t FO.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Dollar a minute. Let's go Yeah, geez, that is unbelievable. Okay, this,
let's do a little. I'm not gonna make you do
it because so do you have full citizenship?
Speaker 5 (13:34):

T I ze in pretty good. What is the supreme
law of the land. This is crazy, the supreme law
of the land. Yeah, if somebody comes into your house,

Trump. I guess that's true, but not true but not right.
Speaker 5 (14:32):

well eventually, yeah, and then you like, I think it's
like out of two hundred questions, they can ask you
like ten, that's right, oh five?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
And it could be like history. It can be like
those questions when.
Speaker 5 (14:44):

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Nothing's happening, I promise. Okay, go Josh. Where are you at?

Are you using a spinning rod? Are you for sure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:28):

I'm freaked out. I'm uping mass. You don't stay there
from that, I'll stay there all day if you let me.
Du Yeah, because what time of the year is it?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Oh my god, probably like fall, false nice early spring.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Open your eyes, you know, yeah, living in that moment,
I want to we should try to do a full
podcast with our eyes closed. That would be chaotic.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I did see This is quite way off topic, but
I did see where in some cultures they do like
a twenty four hour reset and they put on like
they put on dark glasses and you just sit there
for twenty.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Four hours, like the people walk around naked and stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Maybe who knows, they don't know, because I mean there
could be people walking around naked like crazy. They got
their eyes closed. I'm do a whole naked are you
We should do that one next time you come. We're
close your eyes and we're completely naked in the dark. Yeah. Uh,
did you just recently buy some buy a property with
some with a pond on it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I bought a house in uh October, and I mean
small just under five five acres, small house, three quarter
acre ponds.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Stocked them with some marsmouth pass go.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They're growing. They started like two three inches twelve, So
walk us through that process. Where'd you start? And where
are you at now? With the house?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
With the fish. I don't care about your house. I
mean I do. Yeah, No, I just want a house.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
But when I when I went to look at the property,
I like, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I didn't even own the house yet.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
And I brought like a fishing road testing it out,
and there was there was some stuff in there.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I was like okay, so and then got the house.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I think the first thing I did was put a
bunch of blue gill in and in large mouth, and
guy came from Arkansas brought the fish, and uh yeah,
just been been growing them.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
It's like I'm like weirdly obsessed with it. It's my
money pit.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Come on, Like you got there with like a little
you know, like to weigh them, and I like catch
them once a week and see that they're growing. And
next year I got to remove the small ones. And
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You have you caught anything big in there? Are there
big fish? That? There was nothing big?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I did catch a catfish, which was super weird because
they I was told there was nothing in there. I
only caught one. Yeah, and it was big. It was
like he was the guy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He was the guy. Yeah though, Yeah, they got what
are you are?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
You just gonna do blue gill in large mouth? You're
gonna try to do anything? No, because they'll compete.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
With the bass for the first space and for food.
And then.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I put some tilapia in there, just like keep algae down,
but they'll all die. They die as soon as the
waters blow fifty five really yeah, So you put them
in every year and then they die.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Out, eat algae. Yeah, clean it up a little bit
and then they're good. They're good forge too, for like
for the sure large mouth. Yeah, bassel smash them two. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
We got in the community, the neighborhood we live in,
there's a twenty acre lake in the back that is
just just private to our community. And when I say
we're the only ones that fishing, were the only ones
that fish it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And my dad this year and we started four years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I was talking to Toxi Hayes and he was like,
hey man, he was like, in that if you're trying
to grow a trophy like trophy fish, trophy largemouth in
that pond, he was like, for every acre, take out
twenty five pounds of small fish. Yeah, and that's what
we've been doing for four or five years. And uh
and we were catching some five some six is you
know when we started. But this year I caught like
(19:48):
close to an eight and my dad in two weeks,
my dad caught a ten and of twelve. Yeah, And
so it's like it's it's awesome too. You can become
obsessed with it and like and yeah, and it's just
fun to read the benefits of it too.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
To go out there and catch big I just enjoyed.
It's like my I mean, it is my happy place.
And it's like hard for me with being on the
road and coming home. It's like, okay, load the boat up,
go out to Kentucky Lake. It takes you know, it
takes a couple of hours of everything. So it's like
nice to just like this morning, honestly, I went out
at six thirty and just like had a coffee through
the line for like twenty for twenty minutes, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You don't have kids.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
No, no, I know you don't because wouldn't out there
six thirty with a coffee fishing.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I mean fishing poop out of a dapper. That's
what you would do. Uh yeah, that's enough? Is it? Your?
Is that? How you is that? How you recharge? Is that?
How like you disconnect from the madness? That what this is?
I mean just that?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Or like cutting grass or or paying someone to cut
your grass.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yeah, well, joy I come home. I got like a
zero turn and I love it. It's like four hours
grass cutting and I put on like, oh your new spot.
Yeah yeah, I was. You said your yard was real small.
The reason why I said the h A thing was
like I'm still the long story short, I had a
bunch of roommates and I got stuck with the bill
from all the h A fines and they're still saying
me the h fines for real?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, like almost a year later, your roommates are is
and like it's.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Under my name.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
So like they they increase in price, like when you
don't pay them, they click another.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh yeah, it's like they out of percentage on like
every month, So why don't you just pay you? Just
like I'm not doing well.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I'm trying to get the im Like, guys, there's four
of us in this house. We need to split this. Yeah,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And they've all moved on with their life. Mmm.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I should do that with I should do that with
my roommates, like Georgan, my two kids and my wife.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I got some bloodsucking roommates in my my house. So
them guys ain't worth nothing. It's crazy. You come home, man,
It's like you come home and your kids have just
destroyed like six bags of cheese. It's and probably eaten
four or five of them. Oh the rest of them
are stepped on in the in the rug. There's stuff everywhere.
You're nanning your wife or like catching up watching Real
(21:54):
Housewives of Atlanta or something. You're like, it's hating in here.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
It's like crazy because I don't know that life.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I kicked the door on my.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
The things I get to look forward to coming.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Let's go drink that cup of coffee and fish those
twenty minutes every morning, close my voice every morning. Well
you do it, ye, dude, fishing for me. I like
to catch man.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I mean, I'm the Pond's cool because it's like I
know I'm going to catch something every morning.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, Reid likes to figure it out and do all
the things, but I find them. I like to go
find the big one that's like young Kentucky Lake. I'm like,
holler at me when you get them, and I'll kind
of go.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
And then it's been a challenge for me too because
like in Canad where I grit when you fish, it
was all shoreline fishing, like dogs, fallen trees, whereas like
if you go in Percy or something, it's like you
got the absolutely and like, I do not understand that way.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Ledge fishing. Yeah it's tough, man, Yeah it's tough.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
And that's where like but you really have to understand
and know the pretty much suck the water out of
the out of the river of the lake and see
where those ledges are, where that current, where the river
channel is, what creeks are coming in where, And that
does take some I'm not really good at that either,
because we grew up fishing Pickwick Lake, which is very
similar to Kentucky Lake, and so it's the same thing. Man,
(23:11):
if you go early March, you know, pre spawn spawn postpone.
You can flip every dock, go back into every creek
and catch You're gonna catch fifty fish and about probably
ten of them are over five six pounds, right.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And all it is is just just lizard fish. That's fun.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Oh so much like the Yeah, like trying to figure
out the slop stuff's little weird. Like I'm like, why
am I sixty feet from the shore fishing? Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to hear about Canada a
little bit. Where are you at there?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I grew up in Ontario, so between Buffalo Detroit. It's
about twelve hours from here for you here to drive.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, do you did you do any like fishing excursions
up there or did you kind of stay local too? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That was more I was more local for sure.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
My dad, I mean he just my dad competitively fish
bass fishing for a while really and that's kind of
got me into it. And then sure, yeah, have.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You done any of the like salmon ryans or any
of that stuff up there? No?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
A lot of people like like the fly fishing and
all that stuff. I never I never have.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It's interesting either, sounds like you kind of have the
same fishing back bass fish.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, our dad did the same thing. He was he
was fishing.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Local turns through George and stuff like that. Uh, dude
was talking about motocross for a second. Murder Cross, Murder Cross?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
How did you get y'all feel like next Flix is
kind of trash lately. I just feel like I feel
like everything's just like, yeah, what do I watch? Yeah? Same?
I don't know. Same.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We just watched We're watching the Dallas Cowboys thing right now,
and we watched it untamed the cheerleader thing.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I was gonna say, we're not going to get into
that the cheerleader thing.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Wasn't there a document? No, that's like becoming a Dallas cheerleader.
I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm not saying I watched that. I think it was
little c MT for a while. Episode seven where at
the pool.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Party I felt so sorry for I'm just kidding. I
got a wife. I love her very much. She knows that, Uh, motocross,
how'd you get into that? Dad? Again?
Speaker 5 (25:12):
So, my dad raised professionally in Canada growing up. Dad's cool.
He's cool, dude. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
How old your dad?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
He is going to be sixty this November?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, So we gotta. She seemed like, how old are you?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I can't say I'm thirty, no way. Yeah, oh I
have said twenty two. Dude, you look awesome. Thank you,
you're rocking. I haven't drank in three weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So that's I think helped.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I can tell by the skin tone really yeah, thanks,
you're glowing. I stole that from Trashy Tammy.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I'm not gonna lie. The skin tone thing, I know,
I'll give it. I'll give my mom the credit for that.
My mom is like sixty five, and I think she
looks like she's fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're doing great man, great jeans. So
he did he ride competitively too. Uh yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So he did that and then he got really hurt
in his early twenties, met my mom stopped riding, and
then when I was like six or eight, he was like, hey,
why don't we all get trail bikes and just ride
together as a family. And then that turned into every
weekend racing and then I did that for until.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I was about eighteen, and riding competition stuff. Yeah, yeah,
racing and stuff. So we we were you good. I
was like a B level rider.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, I was not like I was not going to
be you know on TV, you know, raced supercross or
anything like that. But the hard part is too is
like in Canada, it's like the season is so short,
like you ride from April till September if that, because
you know, it's like all these riders live in Florida.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They live and they're riding all your year year run
and I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
And that decision came up of like what do you
want to do, And it's just I was I was
already not ahead enough to compete.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
At that level.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
What's the difference between a B level rider and the
best rider in the world.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Oh my god, they're so fast, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
It's so strictly speed.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's such a sport where people
everybody thinks you get on you just like twist the throttle.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
But it's like it is.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I think it's one of the most, if not the
most physically demanding sports.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh yeah, fighting words.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, well I'm not kidding, Like I think, like your
heart rate is something like eighty percent of your max
heart rate for like thirty minutes straight.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wow, you're riding a bike.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I mean it's kind of like riding like a I
don't know, you're just like hold on, it's like riding
a bowl or yeah, that's yeah, I've heard like that,
like water polo.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Like some of those other ones are like those are something.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Like the toughest toughest sports in regards to like max
heart rate stuff. Yeah, me and Dan almost both died
on a on two strokes before.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, I still have a bike. I bought a bike
last year. They're terrifying, Yeah, especially if we don't know
how to ride them. Yeah, it's just like that's what
we did. We hopped on and just headed down some hills.
Let's go. Next thing, I know, I was flipping over
the bars like a bitch.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I was last thing I remember about last time I
ever rode a motorcycle. I was literally going through the woods,
not only off the trail with my legs hanging that
like this on the back like I was like the
whiskey off the back and at the back.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Flipped Superman on that all the way down. His legs
were just I was like I fell and.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Got up like that, and Damn was like dude, I
was like, I'm not riding that back up.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
It's a terrible feeling when you know that you're about
to crash.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's the worst, bro.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I mean, I can always remember. It's like in that moment,
it all happens like so like kind of slow, like
you're going through there like ship there goes to landing.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, trying to figure out just trying to find a
place to lay it down. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And I was like, I'm not riding that back up, dude,
I'm not riding that thing back up. And he was like, okay,
let me get out of it. And he was like, if
we walked it back up the.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Hill, it was off that thing, you know. I'll tell you.
While we were dumb on them, I flipped going down there.
We were like, let's build a ramp. I fell it
flipped going down the hill because I hit the front brakes.
I didn't even know there's a rear break. You didn't know.
I rode the front bakes the entire day.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And we got back and it was Tucker's It was
Tucker bethams uh brother's bike that I was on, and
I was like, gosh, dude, if fliptover I hit those
breaks and fliptos handmars, how do you do that?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
He goes, I used the foot break and I was like,
there's a foot break. He's like, yeah, it's so. And
then I figured out you could do that and slow
your back wheel down and your front going over the handlebars. Yeah.
Great sport. They're super dangerous. Yeah yeah, I bet I
bet there's people get killed in that ship. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Let's talk about your journey to Nashville where you played
college football.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, and oh really you try it anyway? Were you
let me just receiver? Running back? Defense, back, deep? Yeah, quick, corner, safety, corner.
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Played a little safety, but mostly I was more chasing
people around. Uh did you have like aspirations of trying
to do anything with that?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah, like CFL.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I mean, if I really was lucky you had been
like NFL practice roster again, it was like good, but
not like you know great, and uh yeah, and then
I just had I had two ankle surgeries on the
O this ankle and and uh yeah, just I was
like I fell completely out of love with the sport.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Like it was like what am I Like, I.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Completely would get back from an injury and then it
happened again and I'm like all right, I'm just done
with this. And then it's like, you know, it gets political,
like you're you know, you're in your second third year.
Freshman's are coming in and it's like, you know they're
healthy or not. It kind of started to be that
cycle for me. And then at that time I started
playing music and I was just like I didn't even
know what music meant. I was just like, I'm in
(30:25):
love with this music thing, whatever that is, and I
need to try to figure out what that is.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And that's kind of what it did. Are the Edmonton Elks?
Is that CFL? There's some Elks somewhere because I got
the shirt and it's my favorite sweatshirt, but I don't
know where they used to be. It's an it's a
green Elk. It kind of looks like the Bucks.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
The hockey team CFL.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I got it when I was to get nailed for
not knowing what is it? Josh? Yes? Wait what say
that's your favorite team? Yeah? See them? They're green and yellow. Yep,
it's my favorite sweatshirt.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
The're in the CFL used to be the Edmonton Eskimos.
Search Edmonton Eskimos. I mean that's how long I have
not paid attention.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well, look, I was on it. I was out loose.
Maybe they changed the name because of like a they
changed the sure, they changed the name. So there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
You're you're you're off the off the hood politically off
too far you politically no way?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, has got canceled.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
No, I'm not kidding. I'm not going down that train.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Sorry, we can Okay, I'm just gonna scratch all these questions.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You don't you can't Yeah, I don't know. They can't
be mad changed since I left. You can't be mad
at what you don't ask him? No, you know what
I'm saying. Asking a asking? No? Asking not enough? Uh?
Where did your love? Have you always loved music? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
I mean like so my mom is like a music nut,
like what I mean, like everything. My dad was more
like hair metal that kind of stuff. And then yeah,
like I was, I was like the party trick. I'd
be like, go to a bar or whatever, and it
would be like Josh go singing three doors down or
Leonard Skinner or.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Something what three doors down?
Speaker 6 (32:09):
So you say, probably here without you, I'm trying it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Let's go, let's go. How does it start? Though? I
can't remember the way. All I know is here used
to talking about you and not dream about you. Sorry, sorry,
nailed it. It took me a second. That's not, of course.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Do yeah, yeah, one, two, three, out you baby.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
We used to.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I think about you baby, and that dream about you.
Here we out you baby.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
We used to with thin dreams. There you go. It's so.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Me.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
But yeah, I was like I was like that or like,
I don't know, hinder or something like that. I don't know.
Oh good, here we go. That's photograph. That's that's not
I was about to go over there too. What you done?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
So touring with right, yeah, fifty two shows like two
guys angel.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
See my name sounds so sweet? All right, put the
guitar up. It's playing out like three steps up. It
took me a second. Sorry, listen, I'm really good at guitar.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, oh really not so when like when was it
like when did your mind? When did you make it
up in your mind to go, Hey man, I think
I'm gonna give this country music thing to go, and
and were you like I'm just gonna do it in
Canada or I'm just gonna know want to jump ship
and go to the US and try it out.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
So I guess what jump ship would be kind of
the word I just I've always been one of those
people like when I became obsessed with something, I like
literally just was I'm just gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
You're a dude, and we all do Yeah. Yeah, dang
that all makes sense now Yeah, good, good or bad.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Absolutely, it doesn't matter. We forget everything else and just
see it. Yeah, see it.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yeah tunnel vision absolutely, and uh yeah, I just basically
I graduated, got a job, and sixteen months later it
was like, I'm just gonna move. I knew one person
in town who was I knew guy even Aaron Goodvi
and he introduced me a guy named Greg.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Bates written there kind of came up with there and
then uh Greg the killer too. Greg.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Yeah, they like brought me, brought me to town.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
I did like a little recording project and sure, honestly,
was just trying to figure out I knew nobody.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
That's why I sleep in my car. I was gonna
read door, just like trying to connect.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Dots, try to get rights.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Yeah, met some of the people I still write to
this day, and it's awesome. But yeah, I mean I
literally my parents were like, what what do you mean?
Like I got a degree in health science, like kinesiology,
and I was like, I'm gonna go be a country
music singer. The playing bars, They're like wait what. And
we all came down on New Year's of seventeen. It
was like super col Key Thurban played. I always remember
(35:19):
and uh like I remember walking in out of bars.
My dad was like, there's a lot of talented people here.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Good luck really my dad always my dad so like blue,
Like he gets up every day like four o'clock and
it goes to work.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
It's just a hard working dude.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
And I think he was just literally like like you
need to think about this one.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
He was right, Yeah, there are a lot of talent,
Oh my gosh people here.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I think what separates that is. We talked about this
pretty a bit, but it's like the having the work ethic.
It's hard to find creative people that have a go
get get them out. Because we're so creative we just
kind of think, yeah, that different talent will take us there.
But if you can put the rubber to the road,
(36:08):
you know, Carl move a little faster.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Yeah, And I knew I was behind, Like I think
that was a big thing for me. It was like
I was like, Okay, I'm moving to a place where
I know the best writers and singers and yeah, you
know people in the industry are and how do I
catch up? It was always like the challenge for me,
Like I sometimes I was more excited about a right
because like you know, I knew the person was like
a good vocalist too, and it was like, okay, well,
I like let me listen to them sing. And then
(36:30):
you know, I got really lucky too, Like I got
to meet a lot of great people. I ended up
being roommates with Camra Marlow for a minute. Yeah, listening
to that dude sing every day.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It was like he's a killer.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah, yeah, crazy, and it just it. I learned a
lot really really fast, and I was obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Again.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
It was like just tunnel vision. I think it's still it,
you know, is to a degree. And I mean obviously
how you get the big picture and you realize it's
not just you a guitar and a song. It's totally
a whole bunch of people make a lot of decisions.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
But yeah, who are some of your favorite writers? Co writers?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Mison Thornley is still a good friend mine.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
He he started, He's like my second or third, right,
We wrote a bunch of songs, Brad Rumpel, Joe Fox.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
We just had the single again song, which which was
really great.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I love Old Ramp. I love Joe too. I don't
know Joe, but I love it. That's great.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Matt Drew, my producer, I mean, he's also a great writer.
He always just gets kind of put in that like
your producer box. But you know, he's such a great writer.
And I've met so many people, I mean, Michael Tyler, Yeah,
stuff that.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
What uh, let's talk about the record? Yeah what? What? Uh?
When did you start?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
When did you start like getting it all together, mixing
it all in the pot and saying, I think these
are the songs that I want to I want to
put out to the world.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
I started saving songs three three and a half years
ago for the album. I did an EP in between,
but I knew certain songs were not meant to be
on the EP, and so there are some songs on
the record that are like three and a half four
years old. And then I mean there was a song
that we wrote right before we turned it in and recorded.
So there's like a good mixture of stuff. There's outside
cuts too. I was always so like in the beginning
(38:01):
against Outside Cuts, it's like I have to write every
they have to write it. I think a part of
that was, like I had the time in town. All
I was doing was writing, wishing I was on the road,
and then not things to say probably yeah yeah, and
then you know, dreams come true and I'm gone. You know,
last year, one hundred and seventy five shows last year,
and it's like, Okay, I'm not writing as much. So
I know, out of my pool of normally say one
(38:22):
hundred and fifty songs they write a year, and I
thought maybe ten or fifteen were good. It's like, well,
I'm only writing fifty songs or twenty songs. Yeah, I
know there's only two or three that are good. So
I need to go find, you know, good songs and
ones that I believe in and ones that I felt.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Like I'm very passionate about.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
I know people say this all the time, but like
I have to feel like I wrote the song or
lived whatever it is, and I feel like there's a
good good make sure that on the record. Song you
gave me is songs you gave me sick, thank you,
so you've heard it.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I think that's my favorite one. Geesh, that's a killer.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
So that's the oldest song on the record. It's the oldest.
That's the oldest song on the record, is it.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Yeah, And that's actually the original vocal from we were
in Gatlinburg on a writing a treat.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Was basically hammered saying that vocal.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yeah, it sounds like we touched We touched up some
of it, and it was like there was something about
it sounding kind of like so raw.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That's what That's what I was gonna say, Like you
can it almost sounds emotional, you know, like the yea,
even the even the vocal on it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
I remember being like, I mean we wrote that first verse.
I always remember. It was Matt with Matt and Mason
and uh we got like the second line of the
first verse and they're like, Josh, what do you think
about that?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
And I just have my head down and they're like,
what do you think about that line?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I looked at and I was like kind of crying,
and they're like, Okay, this is good.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He likes it. He likes yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I mean it was just a you know, a moment
in my life.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Thank got him through all that stuff now, But yeah,
one time I wanted to call it for the project
like songs you gave me, but that's a killer.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, that's a killer. Do you how do you find
time to be inspired? Like with with the Road? Does
the Road inspire you do things in your life?
Speaker 6 (39:58):
It's definitely things in my life.

Be an idiot, and I've been an idiot and you know,
got to party and do all the fun things. And
I think a lot of those songs like on a
Different Night and red Flags and all you know, those
kinds of songs just came from me being like honest
with my life and the things I was doing.
Speaker 6 (40:23):
And I think now people are starting to realize that.

was writing songs just becuzin It's like no, these were
like Trouble was a real story about you know, I
called an ex girlfriend and then left a voicemail me

I'm about to I'm about to put you in your place. Dude,
watch this. This is a pro move. Next time you're
(09:05):
doing this and somebody's behind you, do this. So I

front of me, you know, to like get ahead a
little bit. So I slow down. I let the car
beside me pass me. He quickly swerves over into the
right lane thing and he's gonna shoot up. Well, I
just slow down. He swerves over, that car stops, he
stops behind them. I let every car get behind me,
(09:27):
and then we all take off and I just leave

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, he's stuck.
Speaker 5 (09:30):

to town.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Heck yeah, yeah, how long How many nights do you
think you spending that thing?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Probably about three four months?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Any Sketchy, Any Sketchy used to.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Park it's onny A TV parking lot and got a
red door and then it's.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Sleep at the sleep in the parlorment. Yeah, it's pretty safe.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
It's kind of hard when you're like trying to pick
somebody up or something. You're like, hey, you want to
go back.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
To my car.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Sometimes we lived on a house dude. We lived on
a houseboat for house four years literally at elm Hill.
I mean it's free, right, you don't have to pay
rent paid paid, Isn't it true?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Though, if you're like out in the water, you don't
have to pay No, all of that's not true.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay. Well, I mean, like if you go live on
a houseboat on the water, you can't do that, though.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I mean you could.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Technically, you can't do that. There's a lot of people
that do that. There's not a lot of people that
drive out into the water on Percy pre conhad and
live on their boats. There's not a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Some people can't be like islands and stuff though, right.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That you can't. Yeah, And like we lived technically we
were on the water, but they on the slip so
you pay slip feed. Plus they had internet.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well, but we weren't even supposed to be living on
that no, we well we didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, for four years, we just stayed there. We were
just like every night.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's what they that's what they say, is like you well,
I'm sorry, that's what they said at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Now they're saying you can't even live like we did.
But when they when we moved in, they said, you
can't uh live here, you can visit three hundred and
sixty four days a year. This is crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, so this is like me coming to the US
and then being like, you only have six months and
you're like counting your days.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Jeez, it wasn't that bad. Okay, yours is probably a
little more official than ours.
Speaker 5 (11:20):

a game for this. Don't don't spoil the thing yet,
don't spoil by letting him talk instead of you.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Just just continue what you're mad at. Then we'll get
to the citizenship. I'm mad at you this morning. You
need to calm down. Okay, go ahead, Josh, h o A.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I don't know if you guys have had that some
inside ball it's just a lot of things, like when
we're not around, you gotta cut grass. If you don't
cut grass to send a bill. Sometimes they don't even
put the bill in the mailbox and then like they
send a bill like the city comes around or whoever.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
The h A person is the Karen of the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know, this.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Literally got some Karens, Like literally got some Karens like Karen.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Their name is Karen.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, I think my next door neighbor or Matt and
my producer is next door neighbors Karen.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
She's like the head of the HOA. It's crazy, is
yours Karen? No?
Speaker 2 (12:26):

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Their big thing was my shit and the tree's hanging
over the road. Yes, no, some true that the suckers
coming at the bottom of the tree. Why they were
saying that is devalue in our neighborhood. Yeah, I mean
probably what the what coming out of the tree. They
call them suckers at the bottom, like you like, yeah,
like new growth coming out of the bottom of the train.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That truth. Oh, they're called suckers.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
It probably does look really terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Not anymore because they got so mad they cut it themselves,
and I told them they could do it, and.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Then they send you a bill. So that's what happened
is they cut my grass and then send the bill.
Ain't cut your grass, and then said the bill up.
It was like it was like how much was thirty
by thirty piece of grass? And it was like two
hundred and fifty dollars and fifteen minutes g t FO.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Dollar a minute. Let's go Yeah, geez, that is unbelievable. Okay, this,
let's do a little. I'm not gonna make you do
it because so do you have full citizenship?
Speaker 5 (13:34):

T I ze in pretty good. What is the supreme
law of the land. This is crazy, the supreme law
of the land. Yeah, if somebody comes into your house,
you can shoot them.

Trump. I guess that's true, but not true but not right.
Speaker 5 (14:32):

well eventually, yeah, and then you like, I think it's
like out of two hundred questions, they can ask you
like ten, that's right, oh five?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
And it could be like history. It can be like
those questions when.
Speaker 5 (14:44):

Probably white and black, lots of salt, you just tied
it on, so the salts in your mouth, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Are you using a spinning rod? Are you for sure? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
He's a flip You just flip and flip flipping short
line docks.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Docks are my favorite. Large for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I'm freaked out. I'm uping mass. You don't stay there
from that, I'll stay there all day if you let me.
Du Yeah, because what time of the year is it?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Oh my god, probably like fall, false nice early spring.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Open your eyes, you know, yeah, living in that moment,
I want to we should try to do a full
podcast with our eyes closed. That would be chaotic.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I did see This is quite way off topic, but
I did see where in some cultures they do like
a twenty four hour reset and they put on like
they put on dark glasses and you just sit there
for twenty.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Four hours, like the people walk around naked and stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Maybe who knows, they don't know, because I mean there
could be people walking around naked like crazy. They got
their eyes closed. I'm do a whole naked are you
We should do that one next time you come. We're
close your eyes and we're completely naked in the dark. Yeah. Uh,
did you just recently buy some buy a property with
some with a pond on it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I bought a house in uh October, and I mean
small just under five five acres, small house, three quarter
acre ponds.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Stocked them with some marsmouth pass go.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They're growing. They started like two three inches twelve, So
walk us through that process. Where'd you start? And where
are you at now? With the house?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
With the fish. I don't care about your house. I
mean I do. Yeah, No, I just want a house.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
But when I when I went to look at the property,
I like, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I didn't even own the house yet.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
And I brought like a fishing road testing it out,
and there was there was some stuff in there.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I was like okay, so and then got the house.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I think the first thing I did was put a
bunch of blue gill in and in large mouth, and
guy came from Arkansas brought the fish, and uh yeah,
just been been growing them.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
It's like I'm like weirdly obsessed with it. It's my
money pit.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Come on, Like you got there with like a little
you know, like to weigh them, and I like catch
them once a week and see that they're growing. And
next year I got to remove the small ones. And
it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You have you caught anything big in there? Are there
big fish? That? There was nothing big?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I did catch a catfish, which was super weird because
they I was told there was nothing in there. I
only caught one. Yeah, and it was big. It was
like he was the guy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
He was the guy. Yeah though, Yeah, they got what
are you are?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
You just gonna do blue gill in large mouth? You're
gonna try to do anything? No, because they'll compete.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
With the bass for the first space and for food.
And then.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
I put some tilapia in there, just like keep algae down,
but they'll all die. They die as soon as the
waters blow fifty five really yeah, So you put them
in every year and then they die.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Out, eat algae. Yeah, clean it up a little bit
and then they're good. They're good forge too, for like
for the sure large mouth. Yeah, bassel smash them two. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
We got in the community, the neighborhood we live in,
there's a twenty acre lake in the back that is
just just private to our community. And when I say
we're the only ones that fishing, were the only ones
that fish it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And my dad this year and we started four years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I was talking to Toxi Hayes and he was like,
hey man, he was like, in that if you're trying
to grow a trophy like trophy fish, trophy largemouth in
that pond, he was like, for every acre, take out
twenty five pounds of small fish. Yeah, and that's what
we've been doing for four or five years. And uh
and we were catching some five some six is you
know when we started. But this year I caught like
(19:48):
close to an eight and my dad in two weeks,
my dad caught a ten and of twelve. Yeah, And
so it's like it's it's awesome too. You can become
obsessed with it and like and yeah, and it's just
fun to read the benefits of it too.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
To go out there and catch big I just enjoyed.
It's like my I mean, it is my happy place.
And it's like hard for me with being on the
road and coming home. It's like, okay, load the boat up,
go out to Kentucky Lake. It takes you know, it
takes a couple of hours of everything. So it's like
nice to just like this morning, honestly, I went out
at six thirty and just like had a coffee through
the line for like twenty for twenty minutes, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You don't have kids.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
No, no, I know you don't because wouldn't out there
six thirty with a coffee fishing.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I mean fishing poop out of a dapper. That's
what you would do. Uh yeah, that's enough? Is it? Your?
Is that? How you is that? How you recharge? Is that?
How like you disconnect from the madness? That what this is?
I mean just that?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Or like cutting grass or or paying someone to cut
your grass.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yeah, well, joy I come home. I got like a
zero turn and I love it. It's like four hours
grass cutting and I put on like, oh your new spot.
Yeah yeah, I was. You said your yard was real small.
The reason why I said the h A thing was
like I'm still the long story short, I had a
bunch of roommates and I got stuck with the bill
from all the h A fines and they're still saying
me the h fines for real?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Yeah, like almost a year later, your roommates are is
and like it's.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Under my name.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
So like they they increase in price, like when you
don't pay them, they click another.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh yeah, it's like they out of percentage on like
every month, So why don't you just pay you? Just
like I'm not doing well.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I'm trying to get the im Like, guys, there's four
of us in this house. We need to split this. Yeah,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And they've all moved on with their life. Mmm.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I should do that with I should do that with
my roommates, like Georgan, my two kids and my wife.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I got some bloodsucking roommates in my my house. So
them guys ain't worth nothing. It's crazy. You come home, man,
It's like you come home and your kids have just
destroyed like six bags of cheese. It's and probably eaten
four or five of them. Oh the rest of them
are stepped on in the in the rug. There's stuff everywhere.
You're nanning your wife or like catching up watching Real
(21:54):
Housewives of Atlanta or something. You're like, it's hating in here.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
It's like crazy because I don't know that life.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I kicked the door on my.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
The things I get to look forward to coming.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Let's go drink that cup of coffee and fish those
twenty minutes every morning, close my voice every morning. Well
you do it, ye, dude, fishing for me. I like
to catch man.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I mean, I'm the Pond's cool because it's like I
know I'm going to catch something every morning.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, Reid likes to figure it out and do all
the things, but I find them. I like to go
find the big one that's like young Kentucky Lake. I'm like,
holler at me when you get them, and I'll kind
of go.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
And then it's been a challenge for me too because
like in Canad where I grit when you fish, it
was all shoreline fishing, like dogs, fallen trees, whereas like
if you go in Percy or something, it's like you
got the absolutely and like, I do not understand that way.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Ledge fishing. Yeah it's tough, man, Yeah it's tough.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
And that's where like but you really have to understand
and know the pretty much suck the water out of
the out of the river of the lake and see
where those ledges are, where that current, where the river
channel is, what creeks are coming in where, And that
does take some I'm not really good at that either,
because we grew up fishing Pickwick Lake, which is very
similar to Kentucky Lake, and so it's the same thing. Man,
(23:11):
if you go early March, you know, pre spawn spawn postpone.
You can flip every dock, go back into every creek
and catch You're gonna catch fifty fish and about probably
ten of them are over five six pounds, right.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And all it is is just just lizard fish. That's fun.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Oh so much like the Yeah, like trying to figure
out the slop stuff's little weird. Like I'm like, why
am I sixty feet from the shore fishing? Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to hear about Canada a
little bit. Where are you at there?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I grew up in Ontario, so between Buffalo Detroit. It's
about twelve hours from here for you here to drive.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Okay, do you did you do any like fishing excursions
up there or did you kind of stay local too? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
That was more I was more local for sure.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
My dad, I mean he just my dad competitively fish
bass fishing for a while really and that's kind of
got me into it. And then sure, yeah, have.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
You done any of the like salmon ryans or any
of that stuff up there? No?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
A lot of people like like the fly fishing and
all that stuff. I never I never have.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It's interesting either, sounds like you kind of have the
same fishing back bass fish.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, our dad did the same thing. He was he
was fishing.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Local turns through George and stuff like that. Uh, dude
was talking about motocross for a second. Murder Cross, Murder Cross?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
How did you get y'all feel like next Flix is
kind of trash lately. I just feel like I feel
like everything's just like, yeah, what do I watch? Yeah? Same?
I don't know. Same.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We just watched We're watching the Dallas Cowboys thing right now,
and we watched it untamed the cheerleader thing.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I was gonna say, we're not going to get into
that the cheerleader thing.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Wasn't there a document? No, that's like becoming a Dallas cheerleader.
I'm not saying.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm not saying I watched that. I think it was
little c MT for a while. Episode seven where at
the pool.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Party I felt so sorry for I'm just kidding. I
got a wife. I love her very much. She knows that, Uh, motocross,
how'd you get into that? Dad? Again?
Speaker 5 (25:12):
So, my dad raised professionally in Canada growing up. Dad's cool.
He's cool, dude. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
How old your dad?
Speaker 6 (25:18):
He is going to be sixty this November?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, So we gotta. She seemed like, how old are you?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I can't say I'm thirty, no way. Yeah, oh I
have said twenty two. Dude, you look awesome. Thank you,
you're rocking. I haven't drank in three weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So that's I think helped.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I can tell by the skin tone really yeah, thanks,
you're glowing. I stole that from Trashy Tammy.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I'm not gonna lie. The skin tone thing, I know,
I'll give it. I'll give my mom the credit for that.
My mom is like sixty five, and I think she
looks like she's fifty.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're doing great man, great jeans. So
he did he ride competitively too. Uh yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So he did that and then he got really hurt
in his early twenties, met my mom stopped riding, and
then when I was like six or eight, he was like, hey,
why don't we all get trail bikes and just ride
together as a family. And then that turned into every
weekend racing and then I did that for until.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I was about eighteen, and riding competition stuff. Yeah, yeah,
racing and stuff. So we we were you good. I
was like a B level rider.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Yeah, I was not like I was not going to
be you know on TV, you know, raced supercross or
anything like that. But the hard part is too is
like in Canada, it's like the season is so short,
like you ride from April till September if that, because
you know, it's like all these riders live in Florida.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They live and they're riding all your year year run
and I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
And that decision came up of like what do you
want to do, And it's just I was I was
already not ahead enough to compete.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
At that level.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
What's the difference between a B level rider and the
best rider in the world.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Oh my god, they're so fast, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
It's so strictly speed.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's such a sport where people
everybody thinks you get on you just like twist the throttle.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
But it's like it is.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
I think it's one of the most, if not the
most physically demanding sports.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh yeah, fighting words.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Yeah, well I'm not kidding, Like I think, like your
heart rate is something like eighty percent of your max
heart rate for like thirty minutes straight.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wow, you're riding a bike.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
I mean it's kind of like riding like a I
don't know, you're just like hold on, it's like riding
a bowl or yeah, that's yeah, I've heard like that,
like water polo.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Like some of those other ones are like those are something.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Like the toughest toughest sports in regards to like max
heart rate stuff. Yeah, me and Dan almost both died
on a on two strokes before.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, I still have a bike. I bought a bike
last year. They're terrifying, Yeah, especially if we don't know
how to ride them. Yeah, it's just like that's what
we did. We hopped on and just headed down some hills.
Let's go. Next thing, I know, I was flipping over
the bars like a bitch.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I was last thing I remember about last time I
ever rode a motorcycle. I was literally going through the woods,
not only off the trail with my legs hanging that
like this on the back like I was like the
whiskey off the back and at the back.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Flipped Superman on that all the way down. His legs
were just I was like I fell and.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Got up like that, and Damn was like dude, I
was like, I'm not riding that back up.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
It's a terrible feeling when you know that you're about
to crash.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's the worst, bro.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I mean, I can always remember. It's like in that moment,
it all happens like so like kind of slow, like
you're going through there like ship there goes to landing.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, trying to figure out just trying to find a
place to lay it down. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
And I was like, I'm not riding that back up, dude,
I'm not riding that thing back up. And he was like, okay,
let me get out of it. And he was like, if
we walked it back up the.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Hill, it was off that thing, you know. I'll tell you.
While we were dumb on them, I flipped going down there.
We were like, let's build a ramp. I fell it
flipped going down the hill because I hit the front brakes.
I didn't even know there's a rear break. You didn't know.
I rode the front bakes the entire day.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And we got back and it was Tucker's It was
Tucker bethams uh brother's bike that I was on, and
I was like, gosh, dude, if fliptover I hit those
breaks and fliptos handmars, how do you do that?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
He goes, I used the foot break and I was like,
there's a foot break. He's like, yeah, it's so. And
then I figured out you could do that and slow
your back wheel down and your front going over the handlebars. Yeah.
Great sport. They're super dangerous. Yeah yeah, I bet I
bet there's people get killed in that ship. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Let's talk about your journey to Nashville where you played
college football.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, and oh really you try it anyway? Were you
let me just receiver? Running back? Defense, back, deep? Yeah, quick, corner, safety, corner.
That's fun.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Played a little safety, but mostly I was more chasing
people around. Uh did you have like aspirations of trying
to do anything with that?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah, like CFL.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
I mean, if I really was lucky you had been
like NFL practice roster again, it was like good, but
not like you know great, and uh yeah, and then
I just had I had two ankle surgeries on the
O this ankle and and uh yeah, just I was
like I fell completely out of love with the sport.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Like it was like what am I Like, I.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Completely would get back from an injury and then it
happened again and I'm like all right, I'm just done
with this. And then it's like, you know, it gets political,
like you're you know, you're in your second third year.
Freshman's are coming in and it's like, you know they're
healthy or not. It kind of started to be that
cycle for me. And then at that time I started
playing music and I was just like I didn't even
know what music meant. I was just like, I'm in
(30:25):
love with this music thing, whatever that is, and I
need to try to figure out what that is.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And that's kind of what it did. Are the Edmonton Elks?
Is that CFL? There's some Elks somewhere because I got
the shirt and it's my favorite sweatshirt, but I don't
know where they used to be. It's an it's a
green Elk. It kind of looks like the Bucks.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
The hockey team CFL.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I got it when I was to get nailed for
not knowing what is it? Josh? Yes? Wait what say
that's your favorite team? Yeah? See them? They're green and yellow. Yep,
it's my favorite sweatshirt.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
The're in the CFL used to be the Edmonton Eskimos.
Search Edmonton Eskimos. I mean that's how long I have
not paid attention.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Well, look, I was on it. I was out loose.
Maybe they changed the name because of like a they
changed the sure, they changed the name. So there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
You're you're you're off the off the hood politically off
too far you politically no way?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, has got canceled.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
No, I'm not kidding. I'm not going down that train.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Sorry, we can Okay, I'm just gonna scratch all these questions.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You don't you can't Yeah, I don't know. They can't
be mad changed since I left. You can't be mad
at what you don't ask him? No, you know what
I'm saying. Asking a asking? No? Asking not enough? Uh?
Where did your love? Have you always loved music? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
I mean like so my mom is like a music nut,
like what I mean, like everything. My dad was more
like hair metal that kind of stuff. And then yeah,
like I was, I was like the party trick. I'd
be like, go to a bar or whatever, and it
would be like Josh go singing three doors down or
Leonard Skinner or.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Something what three doors down?
Speaker 6 (32:09):
So you say, probably here without you, I'm trying it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Let's go, let's go. How does it start? Though? I
can't remember the way. All I know is here used
to talking about you and not dream about you. Sorry, sorry,
nailed it. It took me a second. That's not, of course.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Do yeah, yeah, one, two, three, out you baby.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
We used to.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I think about you baby, and that dream about you.
Here we out you baby.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
We used to with thin dreams. There you go. It's so.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Me.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
But yeah, I was like I was like that or like,
I don't know, hinder or something like that. I don't know.
Oh good, here we go. That's photograph. That's that's not
I was about to go over there too. What you done?
Speaker 5 (33:24):
So touring with right, yeah, fifty two shows like two
guys angel.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
See my name sounds so sweet? All right, put the
guitar up. It's playing out like three steps up. It
took me a second. Sorry, listen, I'm really good at guitar.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, oh really not so when like when was it
like when did your mind? When did you make it
up in your mind to go, Hey man, I think
I'm gonna give this country music thing to go, and
and were you like I'm just gonna do it in
Canada or I'm just gonna know want to jump ship
and go to the US and try it out.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
So I guess what jump ship would be kind of
the word I just I've always been one of those
people like when I became obsessed with something, I like
literally just was I'm just gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
You're a dude, and we all do Yeah. Yeah, dang
that all makes sense now Yeah, good, good or bad.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Absolutely, it doesn't matter. We forget everything else and just
see it. Yeah, see it.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Yeah tunnel vision absolutely, and uh yeah, I just basically
I graduated, got a job, and sixteen months later it
was like, I'm just gonna move. I knew one person
in town who was I knew guy even Aaron Goodvi
and he introduced me a guy named Greg.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Bates written there kind of came up with there and
then uh Greg the killer too. Greg.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Yeah, they like brought me, brought me to town.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
I did like a little recording project and sure, honestly,
was just trying to figure out I knew nobody.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
That's why I sleep in my car. I was gonna
read door, just like trying to connect.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Dots, try to get rights.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Yeah, met some of the people I still write to
this day, and it's awesome. But yeah, I mean I
literally my parents were like, what what do you mean?
Like I got a degree in health science, like kinesiology,
and I was like, I'm gonna go be a country
music singer. The playing bars, They're like wait what. And
we all came down on New Year's of seventeen. It
was like super col Key Thurban played. I always remember
(35:19):
and uh like I remember walking in out of bars.
My dad was like, there's a lot of talented people here.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Good luck really my dad always my dad so like blue,
Like he gets up every day like four o'clock and
it goes to work.
Speaker 6 (35:35):
It's just a hard working dude.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
And I think he was just literally like like you
need to think about this one.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
He was right, Yeah, there are a lot of talent,
Oh my gosh people here.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I think what separates that is. We talked about this
pretty a bit, but it's like the having the work ethic.
It's hard to find creative people that have a go
get get them out. Because we're so creative we just
kind of think, yeah, that different talent will take us there.
But if you can put the rubber to the road,
(36:08):
you know, Carl move a little faster.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Yeah, And I knew I was behind, Like I think
that was a big thing for me. It was like
I was like, Okay, I'm moving to a place where
I know the best writers and singers and yeah, you
know people in the industry are and how do I
catch up? It was always like the challenge for me,
Like I sometimes I was more excited about a right
because like you know, I knew the person was like
a good vocalist too, and it was like, okay, well,
I like let me listen to them sing. And then
(36:30):
you know, I got really lucky too, Like I got
to meet a lot of great people. I ended up
being roommates with Camra Marlow for a minute. Yeah, listening
to that dude sing every day.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
It was like he's a killer.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah, yeah, crazy, and it just it. I learned a
lot really really fast, and I was obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Again.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
It was like just tunnel vision. I think it's still it,
you know, is to a degree. And I mean obviously
how you get the big picture and you realize it's
not just you a guitar and a song. It's totally
a whole bunch of people make a lot of decisions.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
But yeah, who are some of your favorite writers? Co writers?
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Mison Thornley is still a good friend mine.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
He he started, He's like my second or third, right,
We wrote a bunch of songs, Brad Rumpel, Joe Fox.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
We just had the single again song, which which was
really great.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
I love Old Ramp. I love Joe too. I don't
know Joe, but I love it. That's great.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Matt Drew, my producer, I mean, he's also a great writer.
He always just gets kind of put in that like
your producer box. But you know, he's such a great writer.
And I've met so many people, I mean, Michael Tyler, Yeah,
stuff that.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
What uh, let's talk about the record? Yeah what? What? Uh?
When did you start?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
When did you start like getting it all together, mixing
it all in the pot and saying, I think these
are the songs that I want to I want to
put out to the world.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
I started saving songs three three and a half years
ago for the album. I did an EP in between,
but I knew certain songs were not meant to be
on the EP, and so there are some songs on
the record that are like three and a half four
years old. And then I mean there was a song
that we wrote right before we turned it in and recorded.
So there's like a good mixture of stuff. There's outside
cuts too. I was always so like in the beginning
(38:01):
against Outside Cuts, it's like I have to write every
they have to write it. I think a part of
that was, like I had the time in town. All
I was doing was writing, wishing I was on the road,
and then not things to say probably yeah yeah, and
then you know, dreams come true and I'm gone. You know,
last year, one hundred and seventy five shows last year,
and it's like, Okay, I'm not writing as much. So
I know, out of my pool of normally say one
(38:22):
hundred and fifty songs they write a year, and I
thought maybe ten or fifteen were good. It's like, well,
I'm only writing fifty songs or twenty songs. Yeah, I
know there's only two or three that are good. So
I need to go find, you know, good songs and
ones that I believe in and ones that I felt.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Like I'm very passionate about.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
I know people say this all the time, but like
I have to feel like I wrote the song or
lived whatever it is, and I feel like there's a
good good make sure that on the record. Song you
gave me is songs you gave me sick, thank you,
so you've heard it.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I think that's my favorite one. Geesh, that's a killer.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
So that's the oldest song on the record. It's the oldest.
That's the oldest song on the record, is it.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Yeah, And that's actually the original vocal from we were
in Gatlinburg on a writing a treat.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Was basically hammered saying that vocal.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yeah, it sounds like we touched We touched up some
of it, and it was like there was something about
it sounding kind of like so raw.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
That's what That's what I was gonna say, Like you
can it almost sounds emotional, you know, like the yea,
even the even the vocal on it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
I remember being like, I mean we wrote that first verse.
I always remember. It was Matt with Matt and Mason
and uh we got like the second line of the
first verse and they're like, Josh, what do you think
about that?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
And I just have my head down and they're like,
what do you think about that line?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I looked at and I was like kind of crying,
and they're like, Okay, this is good.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He likes it. He likes yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:38):
I mean it was just a you know, a moment
in my life.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Thank got him through all that stuff now, But yeah,
one time I wanted to call it for the project
like songs you gave me, but that's a killer.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, that's a killer. Do you how do you find
time to be inspired? Like with with the Road? Does
the Road inspire you do things in your life?
Speaker 6 (39:58):
It's definitely things in my life.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
I mean I've gone through so many different, you know, changes,
whether that be single life, girlfriend life, then back to
single and you know, just figuring that out.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
And I'll be honest, like I can.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Be an idiot, and I've been an idiot and you know,
got to party and do all the fun things. And
I think a lot of those songs like on a
Different Night and red Flags and all you know, those
kinds of songs just came from me being like honest
with my life and the things I was doing.
Speaker 6 (40:23):
And I think now people are starting to realize that.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
I think for a long time people just thought I
was writing songs just becuzin It's like no, these were
like Trouble was a real story about you know, I
called an ex girlfriend and then left a voicemail me
like I'm in trouble, could.
Speaker 6 (40:35):
You come back home?
Speaker 5 (40:37):
And like that was a real life Yeah, I think,
I mean, yeah, I don't know, I gotta be careful
with you. Almost said thank god, no saying thank god,
that's not the thing anymore. Yeah, yeah, but but no,
I mean I truthfully look at like everything was like
a stepping stone in my life. And you know, there's
there's a Moment's had a moment for good reasons and
(40:59):
you know, as much as sometimes they're terrible in the moment,
looking back, now I'm like, thank God that made me.
