Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey guys.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sunday Sampler time clips from some of the podcasts I
hope you check out. On the Bobbycast, I sat down
with Carter Faith, new artist I think you'll like that's
coming up on this week's episode of Take This Personally.
It's all about grief with Morgan and she had a
psychotherapist Paige on to talk about the best way to
manage grief.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So we'll start there.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You're gonna hear from Four Things with Amy Brown or
Losers Get Real with Caroline Hobby Movie Mike's Movie podcast.
Let's get started now with Morgan and a clip from
Take This Personally.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Take Personally.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Feelsman.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I'm really excited right now to be joined by Judah Acres,
who you all may know from Judah and the Lion.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Judah, how are you doing good?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's all cozy here.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Like this, Yes, it's very cozy vibes.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
And Dog in my Lap.
Speaker 8 (01:09):
We talked about.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Very deep thingsout telling what I'll say with a Dog.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In my Lap.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
So I've been a fan of you guys Gosh for years.
I mean, you guys have multiple albums at this point,
but I really think that your latest album, The Process,
is one of my favorite yet, thank you, And I
feel like that's just because of how vulnerable and deep
it is. And I would so love to know like
(01:33):
the life events that led you to put out an
album like that, if you're willing.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
To talk about them, Yeah, thank you. That's super sweet.
The process, it's kind of one of those funny things
where me and Brian, my bandmate, we had this idea
to write a record about the process of grief. We
chose the Kubler Rossis Stages and this was about, I
guess four or five years ago. I had written a
(01:57):
record called Pep Talks that was a lot about is
kind of growing up as a Southern dude and having
great parents, amazing parents, and then kind of watching their
life kind of really take a turn and kind of
implode in front of me. And the record is whole
lot about just kind of like their divorce and what
it was like as a twenty four or five year old,
(02:21):
you know, dude kind of going through that because a
lot of people go through divorce before they're even born,
or like with their parents or you know, as an
adolescent or a teenager or whatever. And so anyways, so
we've always kind of written like from a personal standpoint
of like what we're going through in life, and then
after a couple really kind of hard deaths in my family,
(02:44):
that could be really interesting to kind of right through
these Kuble Rossi's stages of grief, which is denial, anger, bargaining, depression,
and then acceptance. And so as we were kind of
getting done with our last cycle, getting out of the pandemic,
we were like, I think this is time to do
it because I had just gone through really hard divorce
(03:07):
and so outside of like loss, losing my aunt and
uncle and grandpa and you know, all of this kind
of other stuff and my parents kind of struggling at
the time, like this is like, this is the time
to write about the process of grief because I transparently
did not want to write about my divorce for a
(03:28):
lot of reasons. I feel like the world didn't need
another divorce record. You know, there's a lot of heartbreak
records out there.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Yeah, but you were also going through multiple different versions
of grief. You were going through like the loss of
life and grief and also the loss of a future
that you had believed in, and so to go through
writing an album that was going to be multiple different
versions of grief is not common also because we are
so closely associated with one version of grief, which is
(03:58):
the loss of somebody, but the other grief where you
have to mourn somebody.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
That's still alive, we don't like to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
No, And I definitely was not. I told Brian, I
was just like, man, I just when I don't really
want to release these songs that I'm writing because they're
deeply personal, and now it's like I'm not writing about
my parents divorce and writing about my own, which you know,
when you get married, you don't ever expect to get divorced,
and that comes with like a lot of shame and
(04:28):
guilt and personal like defeats that you would have never
kind of imagined. But then writing the record and having
all these other kind of versions of grief of losing
very close ones to suicide and other mental health issues
and really learning to kind of, I guess, cope in
(04:50):
healthier ways than I was coping. The records a lot
about like, you know, the nights that I was over
drinking and kind of coping in ways that was not
healthy for myself, and wanting people to kind of learn
from those mistakes, and yeah, I ended up being just
kind of this like wild, like oh my god, like
I was in denial so harshly here, whether it be
(05:13):
with my mom my mom's like version of kind of
running away from just like what she was doing with
with alcohol, like denial in that like, oh my gosh,
my marriage is in shambles and I can't even really
admit that to myself or my friends or whoever. And
so getting to kind of go through these stages and
(05:35):
be like, man, that was like two years ago, like
I was totally in denial here and already like it's
the record's only been out for a couple of months,
but some of the stories are are really wild and
how people can kind of relate, whether it be through
heartbreaker divorce or loss in their their family or friends
(05:55):
or whatever. And then also just like we never imagine
like we had someone, we've had quite a few people
actually now come up to us and be like, I
just got diagnosed with YadA, YadA, YadA, and the process
has kind of helped me accept this diagnosis or accept
this harsh thing that you know, And that really just
(06:19):
puts it all into perspective.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What artists do you hear maybe not even artists a word.
I think artists word, not singers. What artists do you hear?
They kind of speak for you? And I asked that
because I was had favorite artists and singers and stuff.
But when I was in my twenties or so, like
(06:48):
John Mayer would say stuff and I would be like, oh,
I think that, Oh this is somebody who's like songwriting
my thoughts.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I never had that happen before.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, And there are comedians that we'll say things and
I'm like, oh, I thought that. I just didn't say
that in that way nearest funny and nearest compelling as
they did. But like there's who what artists did that
for you?
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I think like early Miranda Lambert that was my badass side,
you know, and then Casey Musgraves. I remember hearing Mary
go around in a Walmart parking lot and I made
us stay in the car till we listened to the
whole thing for.
Speaker 11 (07:20):
The first time.
Speaker 10 (07:22):
Just people like that, they're just talking about small town
normal life because that is what most of America is.
And that's definitely the life I lived, was just normal
life with these like very intense feelings that all creatives have,
that all people have probably so it's definitely a lot
of casey Miranda pistolanies.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Always have you met Maranda?
Speaker 11 (07:44):
I have not met Miranda.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Very guys are very similar just in Yeah, I'm lucky
enough to know Miranda relatively well at this point.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
She just seems real and very soft spoken and quiet.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, and unless she's like doing her thing that's not
her thing.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Pretty wild because again, she is such a freaking fire crack.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah she is.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
She's I want her to like stand up for me,
you know, in a bar. I want her to be
on my mind, and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
She would, and she'd cut somebody too. But other than that,
she's just quiet Miranda who's really not going to get
in anybody's way and be a wallflower. But as well,
a lot of similarities there.
Speaker 11 (08:19):
Yeah, I just like to observe.
Speaker 10 (08:21):
And you can tell that in her music, I think too,
which is why it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Just that badass side.
Speaker 10 (08:26):
It has that like real person side too.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Congrets on signing a deal, Thank you? When did you
get that news? Was it a long work in progress
where you kept hoping developing with that?
Speaker 10 (08:39):
I think my long work in progress has been like
finding people on my team that I trust. So I've
gone through some managers, I've gone through some people on
my side, and so that was kind of a long
time coming. I learning how to trust people in this
business is really hard, cause what how can I trust
(09:00):
any of you?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Very transactional place, and everybody's your best friend until it's
not easy to be.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
Your best friend, which that's business, and it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Is business, but you're right, it feels very it's very personal.
It feels way more personal than it actually is, especially
at first, because I felt I fell into those trappings
at first too. I was like, oh, this person, this
is my best friend. Yes, and then it turns out
then you go.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
To all the other labels and they all have their
same fiel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm learning how to clock
people quicker, which is helpful. But I think my experience
with Universal Nashville all has to do with Hannah Wilson
and Cindy Maybe there. Hannah Wilson, I've known her since
I was still at school, and she just loved what
(09:44):
I did and would come to my shows and come
to my fest deada heat show you know that no
one was there. And then when I met Cindy, maybe
she just she just liked what I did. Like, she's like,
I don't need you cutting outside songs. I like your voice.
I need your voice. I think it's important. And when
you're a songwriter that just speaks volumes. And then there's
(10:07):
a woman there, Chelsea.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Blythe who I love so much too.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
She's from La and she has just a whole different
view on country music, which I think we're seeing is
very important.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
When you sign a deal one what does that mean? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But were you nine six three months working toward this
specific deal with these specific people. Were you wondering, I
wonder if they're gonna sign me? Or was it like
a random call, Hey Carterer, you want to do Yeah?
I'm all, I mean, like, what is that?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What is that process? What's the build?
Speaker 10 (10:41):
It's different for everybody, Like mine was like I met
with a lot of labels and they all act interested,
you know, and then you like keep and then you're like, dude,
am I interested in them? It is like I felt
like I was a bachelorette, you know, which is so weird.
And because I'm not this TikTok viral girl, like I
(11:03):
don't have these like crazy, They're not going to give
me like five million dollars, you know. So I'm like,
they have to care about my music and I have
to feel that well.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
They need to long term invest in you.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
Yes, I'm trying to do this my whole life, this
is my career. So I think I met with a
lot of LA labels, I met with a lot of
Nashville labels, and I basically at one point just told Universal,
which is this is probably bad business on my half.
But I was like, I'm only going to sign with
you guys, so it's now and never like, let's go.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
And it was done in like a month.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Were other labels making you different offers or was there?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Wow, but that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It does mean all the offers are goodfair or yes,
but that's cool.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
No, that is really freaking cool. Like I don't know,
I'm just I'm just a girl, and you guys want
to give me money to make music.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
That's pretty cool for you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Hesitant to sign at.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
All, yeah, just because I again, I don't like authority.
This is very personal to me, all the things. I
just it's scary to put your like my heart and
soul in someone else's hands. That's what it truly feels like.
But I also that's what I needed to level up.
(12:20):
I thought about it a ton, and that's what I
decided I needed to get to that next level.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
So I keep going.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Cast up little food for yourself life.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
Oh it's pretty, but hey, it's pretty, beautiful thing beautiful.
That's a little more said he you're kicking with fulling
with Amy Brown.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
The other thing that I find I hear a lot
from busy moms, some of my patients, some of my friends,
is I want to clean, but I start to do
a room. I start to clean a room, and then
I get to do other things and then I forget
that I was originally cleaning, you know, say my kitchen.
(13:30):
So I start clean the kitchen and then I see
Stevenson left a sock in the floor, So I'm gonna
grab his sock and take it to his room, or
take it to the laundry room. And then I get
in the laundry room and oh shoot, I forgot to
put the washer stuff in the dryer.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
So is that everybody's brain or just an ADHD brain?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
I see this across the board, Okay, busy people brain,
because that's one.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Hundred percent me. And on Instagram there's I guess that's
my algorithm right now. And I see a lot of
videos and they're always like, you know you have ADHD
if you do this. But then I have had some
friends say they act that way, and I know one
hundred percent they don't have ADD or ADHD, and so
I'm like, well, where.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Does that fall?
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Like when I was married, this is the only other
example of sharing like a life with someone who didn't
have it. So that was my biggest indicator of how
different our brains were was living with someone for seventeen years.
And Ben was a very efficient effected person. If he
started a task, he finished the task and his brain
didn't think otherwise. Whereas like he wouldn't go out and
start mowing the lawn and then halfway through mowing the
(14:31):
lawn start picking a weed, but then realizing there's something
in the flower bed and needs to grab that in
the garage, and then he realized that the garage takes
him back to the laundry room. That would be me
and the lawn would never get mowed, but like he
would go out and mow the yard and be done right.
So yeah, I guess that was my apples and oranges like,
so ADHD brain non ADHD brain. So all brains can
(14:54):
do this thing you're talking about, like bouncing from room
to room and task to task and then be like
wait where was I and be like, oh, yeah, I
was doing the dishes two hours ago.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I was doing the dishes.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I think it honestly more than ADHD brain versus not.
It's probably a little bit more female versus male brains.
Female brains are always multitasking. We never just singularly do
one thing really ever. I mean, think about it. You
sit down to watch your friend's episode, You're gonna fold
some laundry. You're not just gonna sit there, or you're
gonna eat your dinner, or you're gonna do.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Men fold laundry too, Claire.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Yes, but they only fold laundry. They're not folding laundry
and watching friends. They're just gonna fold the laundry. Oh,
everybody in my house has to do their ow laundry
starting at age thirteen. So we definitely love boys doing
laundry around here. But they aren't doing other things. Like
they may even do the folding in the laundry room.
They're gonna go mow the lawn. They're only mowing the
(15:47):
lawn because they're only thinking that one thing. I think
women in general, we tend to multitask. So say we're
cleaning the kitchen and we see that sock. We take
to the laundry room. Realize, yesterday we put the you know,
clothes in the washer and we need to switch them
to the dryer. Now, okay, I'm gonna put everything in
the dryer. Oh shoot, I'll just go start another load
real quick. Let me run upstairs and get it out
(16:07):
of this other kid's room and bring it down. Two
hours later. Where were we, Oh, the kitchen. I've never
got back there. So my trick for this is seemingly
easy and physical. You're going to take a laundry basket.
It needs to be something as big as a laundry basket,
and you're going to set it at the entry to
that room.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
And this is what you call the basket strategy.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Yeah, I'll call this a basket strategy. You're going to
put that at the entry to that so you can't
leave that room without stepping over that laundry basket, and
launder baskets are big, so we're not stepping over that.
It also is the receptacle for all the things that
you find that need to leave that room. So the
sock that you found that needs to go to the laundry.
If you're cleaning a kid's room, all the dishes that
(16:49):
they leave in there, whatever, all go in that laundry basket,
and you stay in that room and clean it completely
till it's done. So you have all your cleaning stuff,
your vacuum, everything, whatever you need. Anything that leaves that
room goes in the basket without you leaving the room yourself.
And then when you're done and the room is clean,
then you take your launder basket and you take everything
(17:11):
in that in that basket to where it needs to go. Okay,
so you've completed your thing and now.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
And you didn't let yourself leave the room and get
distracted and then realize, oh, yeah, I was in my
room cleaning or whatever. This makes you think of the
one touch rule. Have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Huh? Okay?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
So it's where you only let yourself touch something once,
which I don't know if would work with this because
you're touching the item, but I get it. Maybe you
touch it and you put it in the basket, and
then once it's in the basket, it has to return
to its home. So this could fall under the one
touch rule, but really it's that if you pick something up, like,
go ahead and put it away where it needs to go.
(17:50):
Like instead of taking a fork to the sink and
laying it down in the sink, take the fork, rinse
it in the sink, and put it in the dishwasher
or whatever needs to be done. Okay, don't give it
an extrap that's not necessary or that's gonna make you
have to touch it and do it again later.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, and you could apply that and just say it's
the one touch rule in that room. So I'm only
gonna touch it one time. I'm not gonna put it
near the basket. I'm gonna put it in the basket
and complete everything and then I'll deal with it after that.
So yeah, maybe the one touch rule for within that
the confines of that room, maybe.
Speaker 13 (18:20):
Okay, But I do like that.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I feel like my kids could learn from that, Like
we don't have to put things beside the sink. We
could actually put them directly in the dishwasher. That would
be amazing.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Or you don't have to put something like at the
bottom of the stairs, take it up to your room.
Stuff just piles up, and I'm the one that takes it.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's like, am I understands the stairs situation?
Speaker 13 (18:43):
Not anyone.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I'm like, if it's on the stairs, it clearly needs
to go up or down depending on where it is.
No one understands that but me, How is that possible?
Speaker 9 (18:52):
No, it's a weird thing.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
It is a weird thing. But I've even put things
in the middle of the stairs. Right now, currently there
is a sixteen year old child hoodie in the middle
of the staircase, just waiting, just waiting. But she's walked
over it two days worth. And I refuse amy, I
refuse to take it upstairs.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
She'll get it eventually.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Somebody's gonna happen to that hoodie.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
You need to do the anchor item thing with her.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Maybe, or she's just as stubborn as her mama. That
could be it too, So that's the basket strategy. I
like the one touch rule too, especially if you are
trying to encourage a kiddo. I think that's an easy
thing to say, like, hey, just want to touch it.
If you already have it in your hand, put it
where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We're gonna do it live we are the one, two,
three Sore Losers.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops. Hopefully
soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe maybe a little fescue
to be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers. No, I'm not telling the cleaning lady story again.
But I walked out of the bathroom and you believe it,
and I looked to my right and there's a guy
and a girl walk in my direction, and I'm like,
is that Leslie, the one that works in Austin?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
What huh?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Am I in the rock?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
She's here for a meeting, the one that used to
be in the sports sales. Yes, I didn't even know
she was still at the company, That's.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
What I'm saying. And she's just walking down the hallway.
I'm like, what it really took me a minute? Like,
am I seeing the right person?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Brunette hair?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Oh my gosh, is that not weird?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hold on, that's not the weird part. Oh I got
a fight and awesome, Oh, please tell me more. I
was an intern and I had a remote and she
was the salesperson, so all this money was tied to
this remote. I went to the address. It was in
an abandoned field. So I came back to the radio
station and dude, I was I was at that point,
I was maybe twenty two years old, so I didn't
give a crap about anything. I was just like, terrible address.
(21:18):
Nice job with the address, didn't work. What's up? You'll
have everybody doing what's up? Sales team, how you guys?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And Sheesa, wait, why are you not.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
At my remote?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I go, oh, it's in some empty field. You totally
screwed up, didn't go. I was like, we just pulled
up and it was nothing there, so we left. She's like,
oh my gosh, oh my gosh, it was the wrong address.
Well you can still get out there. I didn't know,
and I was like, no, no, no, you did the wrong address,
schedule another event like me and her head to head,
and then promotions goes, hey, if there it was definitely
their fault with the address. She definitely gave you the
(21:44):
wrong gas station address. But next time, just you kind
of like you need to communicate with them. We don't
really we don't really yell at them. She's like, we're promotions.
We we kind of work for them.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Ish you kind of just drive the van and hand
out prizes. So what a remote is like, Hey, we're
gonna be here from twelve to two, come out and
see us at the Walmart and you set up the van.
So that's what Ray is talking about, uh, when you're
talking about that. So you show up and like when
I was in Nashville, I did one and it was
at a furniture store from five to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Come get your couches, get your love seats, and also
get your automans.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
What's up.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's lunchbox and I'm out here today.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
On a Thursday night, five to seven pm. So I'm
fighting five o'clock traffic trying to get there, and I
roll up at four fifty eight and the store's not
even open yet.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Remote Horror Stories.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
And I'm like, I call the sales later. I'm like, yeah,
so I'm here, and they like, there's not even furniture
in the store, Like they have the sign up, but
there's no furniture. It looks like they're still building the store.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I think that liquidation sale went better than expected. The
store is empty now.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
And so she calls, you know, she goes, let me
call you back. I'll find out what's going on. And
then the promotion truck pulls up and we're just sitting
there and she calls back. She goes, oh, yeah, yeah,
they just told me that it's not ready yet, that
they need to postpone it. Like, you don't think you
should tell us that before we're on site.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Dude, I've got some bad ones, remember you and me?
Wasn't that it was a bad We worked in an
asphalt factory for two hours in the heat of Texas.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Mother's window tint San Marcus, Texas. That's where it was at.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That was one of the first places be miserable on
a June July day.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Dude, I used to stand in the freaking parking lots
of cricket wireless all the time in the middle of
the summer, noon to two on a Saturday, and you
want to talk about just melting in the freaking heat.
Oh awful, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I had to go sit outside of a Taco bell
and there wasn't There was no place to set up
the remote. Guys, listen, I'm a remote expert. I used
to do this for years, so I knew how to
park the vehicle. I knew how to set the speakers.
You know, you got the boombox, you got the radio station, plane,
you meet the manager.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
How's it going? Man?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You kiss a couple babies. Not really your promotions. All
you're there to do is set stuff up. There was
no space for the van, so I'm parked in this
Wendy's fast food restaurant.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Cars are honky as they're trying to go through drive through.
I'm like sorry setting up for the remote, Like, hey, buddy,
get the absolute got of the way. Hey man, do
I need to get my fries? Man, get the out
of my way, dude. I was just trying to do
a happy remote where I give people some stuff, and
there was nowhere to park in a college ut area.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I loved like when I when I worked promote, So
I worked promotions this summer after my freshman year of college,
KSE one on one KVET located on Lamar and we
were the Zone. Their slogan at that point thirteen hundred Zone.
I thought it was the coolest slogan I'd ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
AM thirteen hundred the Zone.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Get No, that wasn't it. It was AM thirteen hundred
the Cure for jockage. And they had shirts and I'd
go in the promotions closet and steal I took so
many shirts and I'd that was so awesome, Like, how
creative for a sports station to be the cure for
jack jockitch?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Hilarious, That's pretty good. I thought for a second. Wasn't
sore Loser's gonna be tell something to do a jock?
I don't know, because you may have not even known,
but gotten that idea from the original sports station that
you were a fan of.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
And I did. My first remote I worked was at
Golden Corral. They had all you can eat special on
Wednesday nights. It was me. I was the one that
drove the van, had the prizes and the jock, the DJ,
whatever you want to call them, Bama Brown and I
(25:41):
will never forget I still have that. We're sitting there
out there and some guys going around selling bags in
the parking lot, and I'm like, man, that's a nice bag.
It's like a Duffel bag. I bought a Duffel bag
off the guy and I still have it to this day.
Are homeless, no, no, right, I mean it's one of
those scammy ones like, oh, I'm raising money for my
and I was like, man, that's a really nice bag.
(26:04):
I bought it for twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Dude, do it. Remotes are the best thing. I don't
know if they even still do them as much as
they used to. They do. They're the best thing out there,
especially if you're a kid right out of college. They're
so easy. You meet tons of people. We would go
sit out it. There was one of those events with
the country station would set outside of some it was
a concert venue right off of Congress. Oh, Billy Bob's,
let's just say it's that, okay, Billy Bob's. I would
(26:27):
sit out there and I was a part of the
Bobby Bone Show, and so I mean there's just like
chicks rolling through. Hey are you that Ray intern guy
from Bobby BUNCHO. Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm getting girls' numbers. Hey,
do you want some free tickets? I got tickets there.
You have free stuff to give them, So you're basically
buying their phone number, and they have to talk to
you because you're standing right there as they're trying to
get into the venue. If you're a dude out there
(26:50):
and you're single, remotes are the way to go.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We got to start
the show because our special guests just got in here.
I can tell you more remotes, like the one time
I went to a car dealership in Colleen.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
How's it going? Lunchbox is automotive? How can I get
your oil change?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
And I drove an hour and a half to get
to Kaleen, get to the stupid car dealership, and we
That was back when they had what they called a
Marty inside the van and you had to put you
had to raise up this pole to get the antenna
up there so they could get the signal.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You used to be a tech guy. Good god, we're
learning everything about your radio.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
No no, no culture right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That wasn't always the Golden Voice culture.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
This was when I was on air, so I rode
with whoever the promotions was in the van all the
way to Colleen and we put the Marty up and
get it. It was so far out there it didn't
even get the radio station. Like, you couldn't get the radio.
The signal didn't reach there, and we're having a remote
and you can't even play the music. And so of course,
(27:51):
not one single person stopped by the car dealership to
say hello because our radio station didn't even reach that location.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Dude, you just remember reminded me of my favorite mode ever.
I think one time I had one at Bikini's Bar. Oh, dude,
U to the chicks were in bikinis. Yes, hello, I
wasn't sissor Ray Mundo that I was intern Ray intern Ray,
I'm twenty two A nice to meet you. I represent
the radio station. Oh hey, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All these managers are in their bikinis. Uh is this
the radio industry? And why are y'all not war? Did
he clothes?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I was sold, I was in radio. I was baptized.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Hey, bikinis, bar and grill. They had remotes all the time. Dude,
right there off thirty five?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh id are you a college girl just in your
bathing suit?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Here on soho.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Oh no, no, no, I'm a manager.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh my god, it's in a whale tail.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Hey when in high school when they said what'd you
want to be? When Jiro? Did you put a manager
in a brushtrock? Because this is awesome?
Speaker 13 (29:01):
Hello, Hello, Hey, It's mikey d.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
And this week on Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, I broke
down a list of the top ten final girls in
horror movies. Not anything creepy, it's actually very empowering to
women in film. I'll explain exactly what a final girl is. So,
if like me, you are a fan of the horror
genre looking for maybe some hidden gems you haven't seen
to watch around Halloween time, I got you check out
(29:23):
this clip. But be sure to check out the full
episode of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 13 (29:26):
But right now, here's just a little bit of the episode.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
If you're a fan of horror like I am, you
already know what the final girl is in a movie,
but if you're not too familiar with it, the final
girl is the woman at the very end who survives
with the killer. She kills him or her in some way.
Sometimes the killer is male, sometimes the killer is female.
The final girl is usually portrayed as somebody who is resourceful, resilient, morally, uptight,
(29:54):
smarter than Oliver. Her appears in this movie because she
knows how to survive. Whenever I think about the Final Girl,
it takes me back to the first Screen movie in
nineteen ninety six, which, obviously some characters from Scream are
going to make this list, But whenever Jamie Kennedy's character
is giving the rules of surviving a horror movie, this
is exactly what I think about.
Speaker 15 (30:14):
There are certain rules that one must abide by in
order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one,
you can never have sex sex even seth okay. Number
two you can never drink or do drug sin. It's
an extension of number one and number three never ever, ever,
under any circumstances, say I'll be right back because you
(30:37):
won't be back.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I'm getting another beer. You want one, Yeah, sure, I'll
be right back.
Speaker 14 (30:43):
So the final Girl in any horror movie, I feel
like those rules kind of laid out the blueprint. Even
though that movie came out in nineteen ninety six and
there have been Final Girls way before that movie came out.
I always reference back to that clip to think of
what do you need to do in order to survive
a serial killer in a horror movie. So let's get
into this list at number two, getting to the heavy hitters.
(31:06):
Now you have Sidney Prescott from Scream played by Nev Campbell.
Came out back in nineteen ninety six again and it
is available on Max, which we mentioned earlier. Sidney Prescott
is the best modern version of a final Girl. In
my opinion, I do think the Scream movies kind of
lost their way even when Wes Craven continued to direct them.
(31:28):
Scream four became the first one that he didn't direct
because he passed away, but that one came out in
twenty eleven and he died in twenty fifteen. But the
formula did become a little stale. That was until, in
my opinion, Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera were.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
Introduced into the cast.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Those movies rebooted the franchise and also got super meta
with referencing the Scream movies and redoing things from that
one and including them here. So wasn't really a remake,
wasn't really a reboot. It was kind of just taking
all the la elements of Scream and using gen Z
actors to make you feel that same way when you
(32:05):
watch the first screen movies. So I hate now that
the fate of these movies is really in the balance,
that Jener Ortega and Melissa Barrera are no longer going
to be.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Attached to them.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
I hate the way they exited these films, but it
looks like some of the original casts will still be
a part of them. I just don't really think there's
much left there to really make these movies interesting, and
they lost what was making them work, what was making
the younger audience go to the theater to watch these movies.
Now you're just gonna be trying to make these movies
to people of my generation millennials, to go and be
(32:35):
nostalgia bay. But that really doesn't work with horror franchises anymore.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
You gotta keep it new, you.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Gotta keep it fresh, You got to keep those actors
at the forefront.
Speaker 13 (32:44):
And nev Campbell would have been the.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Best to do it as far as being the it
Final Girl if it wasn't for Number one, the og
the original Final Girl, the best Final Girl of all
time according to the list, and according to me, it
is Lori Strode from Halloween played by Jamie Lee Curtis,
came out in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
It is available to.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
Watch on Crackle of all services, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus.
Speaker 13 (33:13):
Even you can watch Halloween on Crackle.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
I feel like I've watched maybe two things on Crackle
in my life.
Speaker 13 (33:20):
Actually I take that back.
Speaker 14 (33:21):
I think it was only one movie, Joe Dirt I
Beautiful Loser, the sequel that nobody asked for, but it
was available as a Crackle original, So you can go
watch Joe Dirt two and you can go watch Halloween
again much like two b.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
Crackle is also.
Speaker 14 (33:35):
The dollar bin, but maybe not even at Walmart, probably
a like family dollar dollar tree.
Speaker 13 (33:39):
I would never find anything good in those bins.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
It'd always be like really weird movies or like movie
three packs of black and white horror movies that were
made back in the forties. And the reason I agree
with this list why Louri Strode is the best Final
Girl is that final scene where she is making it
her main object to save the kids but also save
(34:02):
herself make sure they're out of harm's way, and has
the most iconic scene in any horror movie. It is
the blueprint of how to make a great final act,
Laurie Strode in the closet with Michael Myers breaking down
the door is a scene that altered my brain's chemistry.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
If there's one scene in.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
Horror that I wish I could go back and rewatch
for the first time, have my memory erased, just so
I could experience it again, it would be this scene.
Jamie Lee Curtis did a fantastic job as she was
being introduced into the world. Halloween two takes place right
after the events of Halloween one, and growing up, I
would always just watch those back to back every Halloween,
(34:45):
and two isn't as iconic as one, but if you
watch them all together, it makes for a great movie night.
The entire journey that Lori Strode goes through all of
the movies doesn't really make sense. They kind of change
her care character from movie to movie, create this backstory
of her and Michael being related.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Are they related?
Speaker 14 (35:05):
Are they not? I enjoyed it as they moved into
Halloween h twoel even though I think people hate that movie,
that is one of my.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
Favorite Halloween movies. And then they.
Speaker 14 (35:14):
Reintroduced her again in the twenty eighteen version, which I
thought was fantastic, but I hate how that run ended.
Speaker 13 (35:21):
Twenty eighteen was a great reboot.
Speaker 14 (35:23):
Halloween Kills in twenty twenty one was pretty mid and
I completely hated Halloween Ens. But I can look past
all that to go back to the original. Lori strode
at number one as the best final girl in all
of horror.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Carrylon. She's a queen of talking. It was a son,
She's getting really not afraid to things. Episode Soul just
let flow. No one can do with Carlne.
Speaker 16 (36:06):
Okay, So as the story goes, you Okay, so you
met me actually ironically at like the darkest time in
my life.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Why is that?
Speaker 16 (36:16):
I was coming out of a divorce.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Okay, and we had talked about a podcast that you
just put out.
Speaker 16 (36:21):
Yeah, one more minute.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Is that all the same time period?
Speaker 16 (36:24):
Yeah, that's all the same period.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Will you go into it in your own way?
Speaker 16 (36:27):
I can weave it, weave it. Yeah, So you met me.
I take this big job with Big Machine, and they're like, listen,
you're going to travel a ton. You'll probably never be home. Hindsight,
if you're so comfortable being away from your husband that
much and more leaning towards the excited part of your Mary, Yeah,
like that might be a sign. So if you're in
a relationship and you're hearing this and you're excited to
(36:49):
not be with your husband, that is a red flag. Anyways,
So I take the job.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
So having subspace for your husband, it's great.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
It's great.
Speaker 16 (36:56):
Missing him is the fun part. Yeah, that's where you're like,
that's a great flag, right, Yeah, I wasn't miss You're like,
do stoked?
Speaker 9 (37:04):
Yeah, to be pretty stoked out of his breathing room.
Speaker 16 (37:07):
Yeah, fine, person, just not my person, you know. Anyway,
So I take the job and I meet you, and
life is great because I have you and I'm traveling
a ton. And then I just would realize every time
I was home there was this really sad, deep sadness
that I had because I was like alone with myself.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
What happened when you're alone with yourself?
Speaker 16 (37:30):
Nothing good? And it was great. The job was so
great at keeping me so busy. You know, Record labels
in Nashville are relentless. They make sure that you don't
even really have time to eat or.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Drink, party atmosphere all over the place.
Speaker 16 (37:44):
You're just living your You're just gone, and in those
spare minutes that you're sitting, you are already behind in
your email, so like there's no time to really think
about your personal life. So I do think looking back, probably, yeah,
looking back, I think God like really moved a lot
of pieces and was like this is where we'll be
to keep us moving. But then there would be these
really long Texas drives. Texas will get you in Texas, man,
(38:06):
Texas does it the tears in Texas Hotly Mackerel.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
She's a heartbreak song, she She's a healing Texas is beautiful.
Speaker 14 (38:15):
I love Texas.
Speaker 16 (38:15):
Texas might be the only state big enough to hold
all the emotions I had at the time, to be honest.
So yeah, it just was really low. I remember just
getting to the freeze. So there's a freeze in Nashville
for anybody that's not the music business, Like right around
like December ish, everyone freezes and and so your job
becomes less and then you're alone with yourself more with
(38:35):
less to do.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
It is holiday season.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Holidays can be sad, really sad if you're leaning through
a heartbreak.
Speaker 16 (38:42):
And I was really going in through a heartbreak.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
So every the noise shut down, it was holiday season,
it was cold, and you were alone with your sadness.
Speaker 16 (38:51):
Yeah, I lived in Kansas City at the time and
worked remotely for the label. Because I was just traveling
in about Kansas City was part of my territory. It
made sense. And yeah, I was alone, I remember, so
I just put out this podcast I had this. I
got very very low and to the point where I
did want to take my own life. And I remember
(39:11):
I was in a tool skirt and I was in
like holiday cute, a really great outfit for what it's worth,
very fashionable. Well, I just love that part of life,
like styling's fun to me. And I remember just being
in this really cute outfit. I remember taking forever to
get ready, like I just remember feeling like I was
moving through like drying cement, and everything felt like I
(39:33):
lifted a thousand pounds and I just it was so heavy,
and I was at an all time low weight, which
is also ironic. So it just felt like everything was
very hard, just like impossibly hard. Getting ready for that
party felt hard. It felt dark. I felt like I
didn't want to go, and I just remember thinking like
no one is coming for me. It's really sad. That
(39:56):
actually makes me emotional hard times, So what do you do?
I don't it just was. I remember thinking of ways
that I just wanted out. I felt shameful that a
marriage was ending. I hated that we will get to
the bag of rules because I remember where we're headed.
(40:17):
I promise I just take the back rows. I never
take the expressway in stories, so what's wrong with me?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
They do?
Speaker 16 (40:24):
So yeah, I just I just I just felt really
deeply lonely and shameful. And I hated. No one gets married,
I think to get divorced, you know. And it felt
like even he didn't want to tuck it in in
a like really beautiful Nicholas Sparks way that I had envisioned,
where we would go to this like mutual loving dinner
(40:45):
and you know, have a glass of wine and look
into each other's eyes and think each other for the experience.
Like they never got that.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
Yeah, that's very mature. Does anyone get that?
Speaker 16 (40:53):
I don't know. I mean I hope so they do.
And nobody wants this.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Well, that's the most advanced evalved couple that's ever walked
the face of the earth. And they're actually a TV
couple and why.
Speaker 16 (41:05):
Yeah, and they're inspiring others to do the same.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
It's great, honestly, it's so good to see the romance.
Speaker 16 (41:10):
Well, I would love that, but I didn't get that.
And in fact, I got a text saying he wanted
a divorce, so he wanted it not you. Well, we
had split and I kind of thought, maybe we'll just
get like minutes and we'll come back together. That's my
deep actually thought. I thought that would happen. And no,
I got a text message. It's like the Carry Bradshaw
equivalent game broken up with them and post it, you know,
(41:30):
And it just was dark and it sucked and I
hated it, and I remember just thinking, I just want
out of this. There's nothing like what am I working for?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
You know, you probably can't see any future at that point.
Speaker 16 (41:40):
No, my parents weren't coming. No what I just you know,
everyone's busy in their own lives. That's the weird part
about that job, too, is you pop into lives that
are always going. You're just a character in a story
that pops in and out. And it was such a
surreal experience to just like always be popping into like
people's kids volleyball games, and you know they're having family
(42:01):
dinner and taco Tuesday and you're and I didn't have
any of that. What a wild season, you know. Anyways,
So I scraped myself in a toolskirt off the floor,
and I remember I was on the I just laid
on the floor in the middle of my pretty room,
(42:21):
my pretty toolskirs helpless, and I just thought, I just
don't want to do this anymore. And I kept thinking,
no one would even suspect this feeling because I was
so good.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
You know.
Speaker 16 (42:33):
If my child had taught me nothing else, it was
that you just go with the narrative, right, So the
narrative was make it look shiny, make it look good,
sweep it under the rug, and keep going. But no
one would have known how dark it was.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
I think, Hey, thanks for listening to this week's Sunday Sampler.

Sunday Sampler time clips from some of the podcasts I

with Carter Faith, new artist I think you'll like that's
coming up on this week's episode of Take This Personally.
It's all about grief with Morgan and she had a
psychotherapist Paige on to talk about the best way to
manage grief.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So we'll start there.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You're gonna hear from Four Things with Amy Brown or

Feelsman.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I'm really excited right now to be joined by Judah Acres,

Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's all cozy here.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Like this, Yes, it's very cozy vibes.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
And Dog in my Lap.
Speaker 8 (01:09):
We talked about.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Very deep thingsout telling what I'll say with a Dog.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In my Lap.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
So I've been a fan of you guys Gosh for years.
I mean, you guys have multiple albums at this point,
but I really think that your latest album, The Process,
is one of my favorite yet, thank you, And I
feel like that's just because of how vulnerable and deep
it is. And I would so love to know like
(01:33):
the life events that led you to put out an
album like that, if you're willing.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
To talk about them, Yeah, thank you. That's super sweet.
The process, it's kind of one of those funny things
where me and Brian, my bandmate, we had this idea
to write a record about the process of grief. We
chose the Kubler Rossis Stages and this was about, I
guess four or five years ago. I had written a
(01:57):
record called Pep Talks that was a lot about is
kind of growing up as a Southern dude and having
great parents, amazing parents, and then kind of watching their
life kind of really take a turn and kind of
implode in front of me. And the record is whole
lot about just kind of like their divorce and what
it was like as a twenty four or five year old,
(02:21):
you know, dude kind of going through that because a
lot of people go through divorce before they're even born,
or like with their parents or you know, as an
adolescent or a teenager or whatever. And so anyways, so
we've always kind of written like from a personal standpoint
of like what we're going through in life, and then
after a couple really kind of hard deaths in my family,
(02:44):
that could be really interesting to kind of right through
these Kuble Rossi's stages of grief, which is denial, anger, bargaining, depression,
and then acceptance. And so as we were kind of
getting done with our last cycle, getting out of the pandemic,
we were like, I think this is time to do
it because I had just gone through really hard divorce
(03:07):
and so outside of like loss, losing my aunt and
uncle and grandpa and you know, all of this kind
of other stuff and my parents kind of struggling at
the time, like this is like, this is the time
to write about the process of grief because I transparently
did not want to write about my divorce for a
(03:28):
lot of reasons. I feel like the world didn't need
another divorce record. You know, there's a lot of heartbreak
records out there.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Yeah, but you were also going through multiple different versions
of grief. You were going through like the loss of
life and grief and also the loss of a future
that you had believed in, and so to go through
writing an album that was going to be multiple different
versions of grief is not common also because we are
so closely associated with one version of grief, which is
(03:58):
the loss of somebody, but the other grief where you
have to mourn somebody.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
That's still alive, we don't like to talk about that.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
No, And I definitely was not. I told Brian, I
was just like, man, I just when I don't really
want to release these songs that I'm writing because they're
deeply personal, and now it's like I'm not writing about
my parents divorce and writing about my own, which you know,
when you get married, you don't ever expect to get divorced,
and that comes with like a lot of shame and
(04:28):
guilt and personal like defeats that you would have never
kind of imagined. But then writing the record and having
all these other kind of versions of grief of losing
very close ones to suicide and other mental health issues
and really learning to kind of, I guess, cope in
(04:50):
healthier ways than I was coping. The records a lot
about like, you know, the nights that I was over
drinking and kind of coping in ways that was not
healthy for myself, and wanting people to kind of learn
from those mistakes, and yeah, I ended up being just
kind of this like wild, like oh my god, like
I was in denial so harshly here, whether it be
(05:13):
with my mom my mom's like version of kind of
running away from just like what she was doing with
with alcohol, like denial in that like, oh my gosh,
my marriage is in shambles and I can't even really
admit that to myself or my friends or whoever. And
so getting to kind of go through these stages and
(05:35):
be like, man, that was like two years ago, like
I was totally in denial here and already like it's
the record's only been out for a couple of months,
but some of the stories are are really wild and
how people can kind of relate, whether it be through
heartbreaker divorce or loss in their their family or friends
(05:55):
or whatever. And then also just like we never imagine
like we had someone, we've had quite a few people
actually now come up to us and be like, I
just got diagnosed with YadA, YadA, YadA, and the process
has kind of helped me accept this diagnosis or accept
this harsh thing that you know, And that really just
(06:19):
puts it all into perspective.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What artists do you hear maybe not even artists a word.
I think artists word, not singers. What artists do you hear?
They kind of speak for you? And I asked that
because I was had favorite artists and singers and stuff.
But when I was in my twenties or so, like
(06:48):
John Mayer would say stuff and I would be like, oh,
I think that, Oh this is somebody who's like songwriting
my thoughts.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I never had that happen before.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, And there are comedians that we'll say things and
I'm like, oh, I thought that. I just didn't say
that in that way nearest funny and nearest compelling as
they did. But like there's who what artists did that
for you?
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I think like early Miranda Lambert that was my badass side,
you know, and then Casey Musgraves. I remember hearing Mary
go around in a Walmart parking lot and I made
us stay in the car till we listened to the
whole thing for.
Speaker 11 (07:20):
The first time.
Speaker 10 (07:22):
Just people like that, they're just talking about small town
normal life because that is what most of America is.
And that's definitely the life I lived, was just normal
life with these like very intense feelings that all creatives have,
that all people have probably so it's definitely a lot
of casey Miranda pistolanies.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Always have you met Maranda?
Speaker 11 (07:44):
I have not met Miranda.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Very guys are very similar just in Yeah, I'm lucky
enough to know Miranda relatively well at this point.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
She just seems real and very soft spoken and quiet.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, and unless she's like doing her thing that's not
her thing.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, it's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Pretty wild because again, she is such a freaking fire crack.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah she is.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
She's I want her to like stand up for me,
you know, in a bar. I want her to be
on my mind, and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
She would, and she'd cut somebody too. But other than that,
she's just quiet Miranda who's really not going to get
in anybody's way and be a wallflower. But as well,
a lot of similarities there.
Speaker 11 (08:19):
Yeah, I just like to observe.
Speaker 10 (08:21):
And you can tell that in her music, I think too,
which is why it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Just that badass side.
Speaker 10 (08:26):
It has that like real person side too.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Congrets on signing a deal, Thank you? When did you
get that news? Was it a long work in progress
where you kept hoping developing with that?
Speaker 10 (08:39):
I think my long work in progress has been like
finding people on my team that I trust. So I've
gone through some managers, I've gone through some people on
my side, and so that was kind of a long
time coming. I learning how to trust people in this
business is really hard, cause what how can I trust
(09:00):
any of you?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Very transactional place, and everybody's your best friend until it's
not easy to be.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
Your best friend, which that's business, and it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Is business, but you're right, it feels very it's very personal.
It feels way more personal than it actually is, especially
at first, because I felt I fell into those trappings
at first too. I was like, oh, this person, this
is my best friend. Yes, and then it turns out
then you go.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
To all the other labels and they all have their
same fiel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm learning how to clock
people quicker, which is helpful. But I think my experience
with Universal Nashville all has to do with Hannah Wilson
and Cindy Maybe there. Hannah Wilson, I've known her since
I was still at school, and she just loved what
(09:44):
I did and would come to my shows and come
to my fest deada heat show you know that no
one was there. And then when I met Cindy, maybe
she just she just liked what I did. Like, she's like,
I don't need you cutting outside songs. I like your voice.
I need your voice. I think it's important. And when
you're a songwriter that just speaks volumes. And then there's
(10:07):
a woman there, Chelsea.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Blythe who I love so much too.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
She's from La and she has just a whole different
view on country music, which I think we're seeing is
very important.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
When you sign a deal one what does that mean? Now?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But were you nine six three months working toward this
specific deal with these specific people. Were you wondering, I
wonder if they're gonna sign me? Or was it like
a random call, Hey Carterer, you want to do Yeah?
I'm all, I mean, like, what is that?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
What is that process? What's the build?
Speaker 10 (10:41):
It's different for everybody, Like mine was like I met
with a lot of labels and they all act interested,
you know, and then you like keep and then you're like, dude,
am I interested in them? It is like I felt
like I was a bachelorette, you know, which is so weird.
And because I'm not this TikTok viral girl, like I
(11:03):
don't have these like crazy, They're not going to give
me like five million dollars, you know. So I'm like,
they have to care about my music and I have
to feel that well.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
They need to long term invest in you.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
Yes, I'm trying to do this my whole life, this
is my career. So I think I met with a
lot of LA labels, I met with a lot of
Nashville labels, and I basically at one point just told Universal,
which is this is probably bad business on my half.
But I was like, I'm only going to sign with
you guys, so it's now and never like, let's go.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
And it was done in like a month.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Were other labels making you different offers or was there?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Wow, but that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It does mean all the offers are goodfair or yes,
but that's cool.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
No, that is really freaking cool. Like I don't know,
I'm just I'm just a girl, and you guys want
to give me money to make music.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
That's pretty cool for you.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Hesitant to sign at.
Speaker 10 (11:59):
All, yeah, just because I again, I don't like authority.
This is very personal to me, all the things. I
just it's scary to put your like my heart and
soul in someone else's hands. That's what it truly feels like.
But I also that's what I needed to level up.
(12:20):
I thought about it a ton, and that's what I
decided I needed to get to that next level.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
So I keep going.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
Cast up little food for yourself life.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
Oh it's pretty, but hey, it's pretty, beautiful thing beautiful.
That's a little more said he you're kicking with fulling
with Amy Brown.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
The other thing that I find I hear a lot
from busy moms, some of my patients, some of my friends,
is I want to clean, but I start to do
a room. I start to clean a room, and then
I get to do other things and then I forget
that I was originally cleaning, you know, say my kitchen.
(13:30):
So I start clean the kitchen and then I see
Stevenson left a sock in the floor, So I'm gonna
grab his sock and take it to his room, or
take it to the laundry room. And then I get
in the laundry room and oh shoot, I forgot to
put the washer stuff in the dryer.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
So is that everybody's brain or just an ADHD brain?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
I see this across the board, Okay, busy people brain,
because that's one.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Hundred percent me. And on Instagram there's I guess that's
my algorithm right now. And I see a lot of
videos and they're always like, you know you have ADHD
if you do this. But then I have had some
friends say they act that way, and I know one
hundred percent they don't have ADD or ADHD, and so
I'm like, well, where.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Does that fall?
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Like when I was married, this is the only other
example of sharing like a life with someone who didn't
have it. So that was my biggest indicator of how
different our brains were was living with someone for seventeen years.
And Ben was a very efficient effected person. If he
started a task, he finished the task and his brain
didn't think otherwise. Whereas like he wouldn't go out and
start mowing the lawn and then halfway through mowing the
(14:31):
lawn start picking a weed, but then realizing there's something
in the flower bed and needs to grab that in
the garage, and then he realized that the garage takes
him back to the laundry room. That would be me
and the lawn would never get mowed, but like he
would go out and mow the yard and be done right.
So yeah, I guess that was my apples and oranges like,
so ADHD brain non ADHD brain. So all brains can
(14:54):
do this thing you're talking about, like bouncing from room
to room and task to task and then be like
wait where was I and be like, oh, yeah, I
was doing the dishes two hours ago.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I was doing the dishes.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I think it honestly more than ADHD brain versus not.
It's probably a little bit more female versus male brains.
Female brains are always multitasking. We never just singularly do
one thing really ever. I mean, think about it. You
sit down to watch your friend's episode, You're gonna fold
some laundry. You're not just gonna sit there, or you're
gonna eat your dinner, or you're gonna do.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Men fold laundry too, Claire.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Yes, but they only fold laundry. They're not folding laundry
and watching friends. They're just gonna fold the laundry. Oh,
everybody in my house has to do their ow laundry
starting at age thirteen. So we definitely love boys doing
laundry around here. But they aren't doing other things. Like
they may even do the folding in the laundry room.
They're gonna go mow the lawn. They're only mowing the
(15:47):
lawn because they're only thinking that one thing. I think
women in general, we tend to multitask. So say we're
cleaning the kitchen and we see that sock. We take
to the laundry room. Realize, yesterday we put the you know,
clothes in the washer and we need to switch them
to the dryer. Now, okay, I'm gonna put everything in
the dryer. Oh shoot, I'll just go start another load
real quick. Let me run upstairs and get it out
(16:07):
of this other kid's room and bring it down. Two
hours later. Where were we, Oh, the kitchen. I've never
got back there. So my trick for this is seemingly
easy and physical. You're going to take a laundry basket.
It needs to be something as big as a laundry basket,
and you're going to set it at the entry to
that room.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
And this is what you call the basket strategy.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Yeah, I'll call this a basket strategy. You're going to
put that at the entry to that so you can't
leave that room without stepping over that laundry basket, and
launder baskets are big, so we're not stepping over that.
It also is the receptacle for all the things that
you find that need to leave that room. So the
sock that you found that needs to go to the laundry.
If you're cleaning a kid's room, all the dishes that
(16:49):
they leave in there, whatever, all go in that laundry basket,
and you stay in that room and clean it completely
till it's done. So you have all your cleaning stuff,
your vacuum, everything, whatever you need. Anything that leaves that
room goes in the basket without you leaving the room yourself.
And then when you're done and the room is clean,
then you take your launder basket and you take everything
(17:11):
in that in that basket to where it needs to go. Okay,
so you've completed your thing and now.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
And you didn't let yourself leave the room and get
distracted and then realize, oh, yeah, I was in my
room cleaning or whatever. This makes you think of the
one touch rule. Have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Huh? Okay?
Speaker 9 (17:28):
So it's where you only let yourself touch something once,
which I don't know if would work with this because
you're touching the item, but I get it. Maybe you
touch it and you put it in the basket, and
then once it's in the basket, it has to return
to its home. So this could fall under the one
touch rule, but really it's that if you pick something up, like,
go ahead and put it away where it needs to go.
(17:50):
Like instead of taking a fork to the sink and
laying it down in the sink, take the fork, rinse
it in the sink, and put it in the dishwasher
or whatever needs to be done. Okay, don't give it
an extrap that's not necessary or that's gonna make you
have to touch it and do it again later.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, and you could apply that and just say it's
the one touch rule in that room. So I'm only
gonna touch it one time. I'm not gonna put it
near the basket. I'm gonna put it in the basket
and complete everything and then I'll deal with it after that.
So yeah, maybe the one touch rule for within that
the confines of that room, maybe.
Speaker 13 (18:20):
Okay, But I do like that.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
I feel like my kids could learn from that, Like
we don't have to put things beside the sink. We
could actually put them directly in the dishwasher. That would
be amazing.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Or you don't have to put something like at the
bottom of the stairs, take it up to your room.
Stuff just piles up, and I'm the one that takes it.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's like, am I understands the stairs situation?
Speaker 13 (18:43):
Not anyone.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
I'm like, if it's on the stairs, it clearly needs
to go up or down depending on where it is.
No one understands that but me, How is that possible?
Speaker 9 (18:52):
No, it's a weird thing.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
It is a weird thing. But I've even put things
in the middle of the stairs. Right now, currently there
is a sixteen year old child hoodie in the middle
of the staircase, just waiting, just waiting. But she's walked
over it two days worth. And I refuse amy, I
refuse to take it upstairs.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
She'll get it eventually.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Somebody's gonna happen to that hoodie.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
You need to do the anchor item thing with her.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Maybe, or she's just as stubborn as her mama. That
could be it too, So that's the basket strategy. I
like the one touch rule too, especially if you are
trying to encourage a kiddo. I think that's an easy
thing to say, like, hey, just want to touch it.
If you already have it in your hand, put it
where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We're gonna do it live we are the one, two,
three Sore Losers.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops. Hopefully
soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe maybe a little fescue
to be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers. No, I'm not telling the cleaning lady story again.
But I walked out of the bathroom and you believe it,
and I looked to my right and there's a guy
and a girl walk in my direction, and I'm like,
is that Leslie, the one that works in Austin?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
What huh?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Am I in the rock?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
She's here for a meeting, the one that used to
be in the sports sales. Yes, I didn't even know
she was still at the company, That's.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
What I'm saying. And she's just walking down the hallway.
I'm like, what it really took me a minute? Like,
am I seeing the right person?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Brunette hair?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Oh my gosh, is that not weird?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hold on, that's not the weird part. Oh I got
a fight and awesome, Oh, please tell me more. I
was an intern and I had a remote and she
was the salesperson, so all this money was tied to
this remote. I went to the address. It was in
an abandoned field. So I came back to the radio
station and dude, I was I was at that point,
I was maybe twenty two years old, so I didn't
give a crap about anything. I was just like, terrible address.
(21:18):
Nice job with the address, didn't work. What's up? You'll
have everybody doing what's up? Sales team, how you guys?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And Sheesa, wait, why are you not.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
At my remote?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I go, oh, it's in some empty field. You totally
screwed up, didn't go. I was like, we just pulled
up and it was nothing there, so we left. She's like,
oh my gosh, oh my gosh, it was the wrong address.
Well you can still get out there. I didn't know,
and I was like, no, no, no, you did the wrong address,
schedule another event like me and her head to head,
and then promotions goes, hey, if there it was definitely
their fault with the address. She definitely gave you the
(21:44):
wrong gas station address. But next time, just you kind
of like you need to communicate with them. We don't
really we don't really yell at them. She's like, we're promotions.
We we kind of work for them.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Ish you kind of just drive the van and hand
out prizes. So what a remote is like, Hey, we're
gonna be here from twelve to two, come out and
see us at the Walmart and you set up the van.
So that's what Ray is talking about, uh, when you're
talking about that. So you show up and like when
I was in Nashville, I did one and it was
at a furniture store from five to seven pm.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Come get your couches, get your love seats, and also
get your automans.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
What's up.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
It's lunchbox and I'm out here today.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
On a Thursday night, five to seven pm. So I'm
fighting five o'clock traffic trying to get there, and I
roll up at four fifty eight and the store's not
even open yet.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Remote Horror Stories.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
And I'm like, I call the sales later. I'm like, yeah,
so I'm here, and they like, there's not even furniture
in the store, Like they have the sign up, but
there's no furniture. It looks like they're still building the store.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I think that liquidation sale went better than expected. The
store is empty now.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
And so she calls, you know, she goes, let me
call you back. I'll find out what's going on. And
then the promotion truck pulls up and we're just sitting
there and she calls back. She goes, oh, yeah, yeah,
they just told me that it's not ready yet, that
they need to postpone it. Like, you don't think you
should tell us that before we're on site.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Dude, I've got some bad ones, remember you and me?
Wasn't that it was a bad We worked in an
asphalt factory for two hours in the heat of Texas.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Mother's window tint San Marcus, Texas. That's where it was at.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That was one of the first places be miserable on
a June July day.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Dude, I used to stand in the freaking parking lots
of cricket wireless all the time in the middle of
the summer, noon to two on a Saturday, and you
want to talk about just melting in the freaking heat.
Oh awful, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I had to go sit outside of a Taco bell
and there wasn't There was no place to set up
the remote. Guys, listen, I'm a remote expert. I used
to do this for years, so I knew how to
park the vehicle. I knew how to set the speakers.
You know, you got the boombox, you got the radio station, plane,
you meet the manager.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
How's it going? Man?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You kiss a couple babies. Not really your promotions. All
you're there to do is set stuff up. There was
no space for the van, so I'm parked in this
Wendy's fast food restaurant.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Cars are honky as they're trying to go through drive through.
I'm like sorry setting up for the remote, Like, hey, buddy,
get the absolute got of the way. Hey man, do
I need to get my fries? Man, get the out
of my way, dude. I was just trying to do
a happy remote where I give people some stuff, and
there was nowhere to park in a college ut area.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I loved like when I when I worked promote, So
I worked promotions this summer after my freshman year of college,
KSE one on one KVET located on Lamar and we
were the Zone. Their slogan at that point thirteen hundred Zone.
I thought it was the coolest slogan I'd ever heard
in my life.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
AM thirteen hundred the Zone.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Get No, that wasn't it. It was AM thirteen hundred
the Cure for jockage. And they had shirts and I'd
go in the promotions closet and steal I took so
many shirts and I'd that was so awesome, Like, how
creative for a sports station to be the cure for
jack jockitch?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Hilarious, That's pretty good. I thought for a second. Wasn't
sore Loser's gonna be tell something to do a jock?
I don't know, because you may have not even known,
but gotten that idea from the original sports station that
you were a fan of.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
And I did. My first remote I worked was at
Golden Corral. They had all you can eat special on
Wednesday nights. It was me. I was the one that
drove the van, had the prizes and the jock, the DJ,
whatever you want to call them, Bama Brown and I
(25:41):
will never forget I still have that. We're sitting there
out there and some guys going around selling bags in
the parking lot, and I'm like, man, that's a nice bag.
It's like a Duffel bag. I bought a Duffel bag
off the guy and I still have it to this day.
Are homeless, no, no, right, I mean it's one of
those scammy ones like, oh, I'm raising money for my
and I was like, man, that's a really nice bag.
(26:04):
I bought it for twenty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Dude, do it. Remotes are the best thing. I don't
know if they even still do them as much as
they used to. They do. They're the best thing out there,
especially if you're a kid right out of college. They're
so easy. You meet tons of people. We would go
sit out it. There was one of those events with
the country station would set outside of some it was
a concert venue right off of Congress. Oh, Billy Bob's,
let's just say it's that, okay, Billy Bob's. I would
(26:27):
sit out there and I was a part of the
Bobby Bone Show, and so I mean there's just like
chicks rolling through. Hey are you that Ray intern guy
from Bobby BUNCHO. Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm getting girls' numbers. Hey,
do you want some free tickets? I got tickets there.
You have free stuff to give them, So you're basically
buying their phone number, and they have to talk to
you because you're standing right there as they're trying to
get into the venue. If you're a dude out there
(26:50):
and you're single, remotes are the way to go.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We got to start
the show because our special guests just got in here.
I can tell you more remotes, like the one time
I went to a car dealership in Colleen.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
How's it going? Lunchbox is automotive? How can I get
your oil change?
Speaker 8 (27:04):
And I drove an hour and a half to get
to Kaleen, get to the stupid car dealership, and we
That was back when they had what they called a
Marty inside the van and you had to put you
had to raise up this pole to get the antenna
up there so they could get the signal.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You used to be a tech guy. Good god, we're
learning everything about your radio.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
No no, no culture right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
That wasn't always the Golden Voice culture.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
This was when I was on air, so I rode
with whoever the promotions was in the van all the
way to Colleen and we put the Marty up and
get it. It was so far out there it didn't
even get the radio station. Like, you couldn't get the radio.
The signal didn't reach there, and we're having a remote
and you can't even play the music. And so of course,
(27:51):
not one single person stopped by the car dealership to
say hello because our radio station didn't even reach that location.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Dude, you just remember reminded me of my favorite mode ever.
I think one time I had one at Bikini's Bar. Oh, dude,
U to the chicks were in bikinis. Yes, hello, I
wasn't sissor Ray Mundo that I was intern Ray intern Ray,
I'm twenty two A nice to meet you. I represent
the radio station. Oh hey, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All these managers are in their bikinis. Uh is this
the radio industry? And why are y'all not war? Did
he clothes?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I was sold, I was in radio. I was baptized.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Hey, bikinis, bar and grill. They had remotes all the time. Dude,
right there off thirty five?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh id are you a college girl just in your
bathing suit?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Here on soho.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Oh no, no, no, I'm a manager.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh my god, it's in a whale tail.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Hey when in high school when they said what'd you
want to be? When Jiro? Did you put a manager
in a brushtrock? Because this is awesome?
Speaker 13 (29:01):
Hello, Hello, Hey, It's mikey d.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
And this week on Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, I broke
down a list of the top ten final girls in
horror movies. Not anything creepy, it's actually very empowering to
women in film. I'll explain exactly what a final girl is. So,
if like me, you are a fan of the horror
genre looking for maybe some hidden gems you haven't seen
to watch around Halloween time, I got you check out
(29:23):
this clip. But be sure to check out the full
episode of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 13 (29:26):
But right now, here's just a little bit of the episode.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
If you're a fan of horror like I am, you
already know what the final girl is in a movie,
but if you're not too familiar with it, the final
girl is the woman at the very end who survives
with the killer. She kills him or her in some way.
Sometimes the killer is male, sometimes the killer is female.
The final girl is usually portrayed as somebody who is resourceful, resilient, morally, uptight,
(29:54):
smarter than Oliver. Her appears in this movie because she
knows how to survive. Whenever I think about the Final Girl,
it takes me back to the first Screen movie in
nineteen ninety six, which, obviously some characters from Scream are
going to make this list, But whenever Jamie Kennedy's character
is giving the rules of surviving a horror movie, this
is exactly what I think about.
Speaker 15 (30:14):
There are certain rules that one must abide by in
order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one,
you can never have sex sex even seth okay. Number
two you can never drink or do drug sin. It's
an extension of number one and number three never ever, ever,
under any circumstances, say I'll be right back because you
(30:37):
won't be back.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I'm getting another beer. You want one, Yeah, sure, I'll
be right back.
Speaker 14 (30:43):
So the final Girl in any horror movie, I feel
like those rules kind of laid out the blueprint. Even
though that movie came out in nineteen ninety six and
there have been Final Girls way before that movie came out.
I always reference back to that clip to think of
what do you need to do in order to survive
a serial killer in a horror movie. So let's get
into this list at number two, getting to the heavy hitters.
(31:06):
Now you have Sidney Prescott from Scream played by Nev Campbell.
Came out back in nineteen ninety six again and it
is available on Max, which we mentioned earlier. Sidney Prescott
is the best modern version of a final Girl. In
my opinion, I do think the Scream movies kind of
lost their way even when Wes Craven continued to direct them.
(31:28):
Scream four became the first one that he didn't direct
because he passed away, but that one came out in
twenty eleven and he died in twenty fifteen. But the
formula did become a little stale. That was until, in
my opinion, Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera were.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
Introduced into the cast.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Those movies rebooted the franchise and also got super meta
with referencing the Scream movies and redoing things from that
one and including them here. So wasn't really a remake,
wasn't really a reboot. It was kind of just taking
all the la elements of Scream and using gen Z
actors to make you feel that same way when you
(32:05):
watch the first screen movies. So I hate now that
the fate of these movies is really in the balance,
that Jener Ortega and Melissa Barrera are no longer going
to be.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Attached to them.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
I hate the way they exited these films, but it
looks like some of the original casts will still be
a part of them. I just don't really think there's
much left there to really make these movies interesting, and
they lost what was making them work, what was making
the younger audience go to the theater to watch these movies.
Now you're just gonna be trying to make these movies
to people of my generation millennials, to go and be
(32:35):
nostalgia bay. But that really doesn't work with horror franchises anymore.
Speaker 13 (32:39):
You gotta keep it new, you.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Gotta keep it fresh, You got to keep those actors
at the forefront.
Speaker 13 (32:44):
And nev Campbell would have been the.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Best to do it as far as being the it
Final Girl if it wasn't for Number one, the og
the original Final Girl, the best Final Girl of all
time according to the list, and according to me, it
is Lori Strode from Halloween played by Jamie Lee Curtis,
came out in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
It is available to.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
Watch on Crackle of all services, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus.
Speaker 13 (33:13):
Even you can watch Halloween on Crackle.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
I feel like I've watched maybe two things on Crackle
in my life.
Speaker 13 (33:20):
Actually I take that back.
Speaker 14 (33:21):
I think it was only one movie, Joe Dirt I
Beautiful Loser, the sequel that nobody asked for, but it
was available as a Crackle original, So you can go
watch Joe Dirt two and you can go watch Halloween
again much like two b.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
Crackle is also.
Speaker 14 (33:35):
The dollar bin, but maybe not even at Walmart, probably
a like family dollar dollar tree.
Speaker 13 (33:39):
I would never find anything good in those bins.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
It'd always be like really weird movies or like movie
three packs of black and white horror movies that were
made back in the forties. And the reason I agree
with this list why Louri Strode is the best Final
Girl is that final scene where she is making it
her main object to save the kids but also save
(34:02):
herself make sure they're out of harm's way, and has
the most iconic scene in any horror movie. It is
the blueprint of how to make a great final act,
Laurie Strode in the closet with Michael Myers breaking down
the door is a scene that altered my brain's chemistry.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
If there's one scene in.
Speaker 14 (34:23):
Horror that I wish I could go back and rewatch
for the first time, have my memory erased, just so
I could experience it again, it would be this scene.
Jamie Lee Curtis did a fantastic job as she was
being introduced into the world. Halloween two takes place right
after the events of Halloween one, and growing up, I
would always just watch those back to back every Halloween,
(34:45):
and two isn't as iconic as one, but if you
watch them all together, it makes for a great movie night.
The entire journey that Lori Strode goes through all of
the movies doesn't really make sense. They kind of change
her care character from movie to movie, create this backstory
of her and Michael being related.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Are they related?
Speaker 14 (35:05):
Are they not? I enjoyed it as they moved into
Halloween h twoel even though I think people hate that movie,
that is one of my.
Speaker 13 (35:12):
Favorite Halloween movies. And then they.
Speaker 14 (35:14):
Reintroduced her again in the twenty eighteen version, which I
thought was fantastic, but I hate how that run ended.
Speaker 13 (35:21):
Twenty eighteen was a great reboot.
Speaker 14 (35:23):
Halloween Kills in twenty twenty one was pretty mid and
I completely hated Halloween Ens. But I can look past
all that to go back to the original. Lori strode
at number one as the best final girl in all
of horror.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Carrylon. She's a queen of talking. It was a son,
She's getting really not afraid to things. Episode Soul just
let flow. No one can do with Carlne.
Speaker 16 (36:06):
Okay, So as the story goes, you Okay, so you
met me actually ironically at like the darkest time in
my life.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Why is that?
Speaker 16 (36:16):
I was coming out of a divorce.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Okay, and we had talked about a podcast that you
just put out.
Speaker 16 (36:21):
Yeah, one more minute.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Is that all the same time period?
Speaker 16 (36:24):
Yeah, that's all the same period.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Will you go into it in your own way?
Speaker 16 (36:27):
I can weave it, weave it. Yeah, So you met me.
I take this big job with Big Machine, and they're like, listen,
you're going to travel a ton. You'll probably never be home. Hindsight,
if you're so comfortable being away from your husband that
much and more leaning towards the excited part of your Mary, Yeah,
like that might be a sign. So if you're in
a relationship and you're hearing this and you're excited to
(36:49):
not be with your husband, that is a red flag. Anyways,
So I take the job.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
So having subspace for your husband, it's great.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
It's great.
Speaker 16 (36:56):
Missing him is the fun part. Yeah, that's where you're like,
that's a great flag, right, Yeah, I wasn't miss You're like,
do stoked?
Speaker 9 (37:04):
Yeah, to be pretty stoked out of his breathing room.
Speaker 16 (37:07):
Yeah, fine, person, just not my person, you know. Anyway,
So I take the job and I meet you, and
life is great because I have you and I'm traveling
a ton. And then I just would realize every time
I was home there was this really sad, deep sadness
that I had because I was like alone with myself.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
What happened when you're alone with yourself?
Speaker 16 (37:30):
Nothing good? And it was great. The job was so
great at keeping me so busy. You know, Record labels
in Nashville are relentless. They make sure that you don't
even really have time to eat or.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Drink, party atmosphere all over the place.
Speaker 16 (37:44):
You're just living your You're just gone, and in those
spare minutes that you're sitting, you are already behind in
your email, so like there's no time to really think
about your personal life. So I do think looking back, probably, yeah,
looking back, I think God like really moved a lot
of pieces and was like this is where we'll be
to keep us moving. But then there would be these
really long Texas drives. Texas will get you in Texas, man,
(38:06):
Texas does it the tears in Texas Hotly Mackerel.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
She's a heartbreak song, she She's a healing Texas is beautiful.
Speaker 14 (38:15):
I love Texas.
Speaker 16 (38:15):
Texas might be the only state big enough to hold
all the emotions I had at the time, to be honest.
So yeah, it just was really low. I remember just
getting to the freeze. So there's a freeze in Nashville
for anybody that's not the music business, Like right around
like December ish, everyone freezes and and so your job
becomes less and then you're alone with yourself more with
(38:35):
less to do.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
It is holiday season.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Holidays can be sad, really sad if you're leaning through
a heartbreak.
Speaker 16 (38:42):
And I was really going in through a heartbreak.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
So every the noise shut down, it was holiday season,
it was cold, and you were alone with your sadness.
Speaker 16 (38:51):
Yeah, I lived in Kansas City at the time and
worked remotely for the label. Because I was just traveling
in about Kansas City was part of my territory. It
made sense. And yeah, I was alone, I remember, so
I just put out this podcast I had this. I
got very very low and to the point where I
did want to take my own life. And I remember
(39:11):
I was in a tool skirt and I was in
like holiday cute, a really great outfit for what it's worth,
very fashionable. Well, I just love that part of life,
like styling's fun to me. And I remember just being
in this really cute outfit. I remember taking forever to
get ready, like I just remember feeling like I was
moving through like drying cement, and everything felt like I
(39:33):
lifted a thousand pounds and I just it was so heavy,
and I was at an all time low weight, which
is also ironic. So it just felt like everything was
very hard, just like impossibly hard. Getting ready for that
party felt hard. It felt dark. I felt like I
didn't want to go, and I just remember thinking like
no one is coming for me. It's really sad. That
(39:56):
actually makes me emotional hard times, So what do you do?
I don't it just was. I remember thinking of ways
that I just wanted out. I felt shameful that a
marriage was ending. I hated that we will get to
the bag of rules because I remember where we're headed.
(40:17):
I promise I just take the back rows. I never
take the expressway in stories, so what's wrong with me?
Speaker 4 (40:22):
They do?
Speaker 16 (40:24):
So yeah, I just I just I just felt really
deeply lonely and shameful. And I hated. No one gets married,
I think to get divorced, you know. And it felt
like even he didn't want to tuck it in in
a like really beautiful Nicholas Sparks way that I had envisioned,
where we would go to this like mutual loving dinner
(40:45):
and you know, have a glass of wine and look
into each other's eyes and think each other for the experience.
Like they never got that.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
Yeah, that's very mature. Does anyone get that?
Speaker 16 (40:53):
I don't know. I mean I hope so they do.
And nobody wants this.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Well, that's the most advanced evalved couple that's ever walked
the face of the earth. And they're actually a TV
couple and why.
Speaker 16 (41:05):
Yeah, and they're inspiring others to do the same.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
It's great, honestly, it's so good to see the romance.
Speaker 16 (41:10):
Well, I would love that, but I didn't get that.
And in fact, I got a text saying he wanted
a divorce, so he wanted it not you. Well, we
had split and I kind of thought, maybe we'll just
get like minutes and we'll come back together. That's my
deep actually thought. I thought that would happen. And no,
I got a text message. It's like the Carry Bradshaw
equivalent game broken up with them and post it, you know,
(41:30):
And it just was dark and it sucked and I
hated it, and I remember just thinking, I just want
out of this. There's nothing like what am I working for?
Speaker 4 (41:38):
You know, you probably can't see any future at that point.
Speaker 16 (41:40):
No, my parents weren't coming. No what I just you know,
everyone's busy in their own lives. That's the weird part
about that job, too, is you pop into lives that
are always going. You're just a character in a story
that pops in and out. And it was such a
surreal experience to just like always be popping into like
people's kids volleyball games, and you know they're having family
(42:01):
dinner and taco Tuesday and you're and I didn't have
any of that. What a wild season, you know. Anyways,
So I scraped myself in a toolskirt off the floor,
and I remember I was on the I just laid
on the floor in the middle of my pretty room,
(42:21):
my pretty toolskirs helpless, and I just thought, I just
don't want to do this anymore. And I kept thinking,
no one would even suspect this feeling because I was
so good.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
You know.
Speaker 16 (42:33):
If my child had taught me nothing else, it was
that you just go with the narrative, right, So the
narrative was make it look shiny, make it look good,
sweep it under the rug, and keep going. But no
one would have known how dark it was.
