ever asked you in the past,like how that came to be. My
dad's from up there. He's froma Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Elliott Skittery
area at Maine to the sea coast, and he just kind of raised me
that way. That's all I everknew. I had a blipisode of Jersey
when I was like two years old, So it's all I've ever known.
And it's been a good twenty ninethirty years of being a Boston sports fan
for sure. Welcome to the rightteam. Oh don't let you go out

this is a smash, brother,you got to take the top of the
charts for this one. I surehope. So, I mean there's a
lot of good music out there rightnow. It's never easy, but we're
sitting up there. It'd be awesomeif they could ring the bell. So
you just never know. Fingers crossedand it matters to her. That's great.

You got to write that one withPapa Htte Rett Akins. That's cool.
Yeah, it's R's dad. Absolutely, He sets a character and sets
the fun guy to write songs withhim. You know, this one was
just one of those that I don'tthink any of us had like a great
idea that day. We just kindof we're having a conversation and then the
song literally just came from that conversation. We put some chords and music to

(02:58):
it and there it was so prettycool. Man, Joe and I have
the same process. Brother. Shewas just talking about the pain and flaible
of him. Roydal itch, I'malready working on it. There you go.

go. You're out on tour withBrooks and Dunne, the reboot tour,

anything. But here's here's a toughone. If you could only live with
one Brooks and Done song for therest of your life, which one would

Dirt Road, you know, kindof covers all the bases. Yeah,

(03:42):

not put that out until you didthe deluxe version. It was on the
original. Yeah, but we've literallygot that demo in like the day before

to see you get recognized for it. Absolutely, you know that. That's

the same customer music and it's allfun. But when you get to help
