(01:47):
call those elevens outer brow and myneck. She also said elevate from my
neck in twenty nineteen by the neckdoctor. Minimal lip filler because my face
is too small to handle very much. And in my chin absolutely no filler
anywhere else. I'm excited to trybotox in my neck. I've heard about
it, but I thought it's amuscle that you use botox in, so

(02:09):
how can you put it in yourneck? It's kind of scary since my
job is talking for a living,but dying, I'm gonna try it.
I'm gonna try it. Listen,majority of everybody does botox, and it's
great that you can love your ageand gracefully age and not go over the
top. But if you can geta little botox here and there, a
little tune me up, why not. Celine Dion's gonna perform at the opening

(02:32):
ceremonies of the Olympics in Paris,and allegedly she is being paid boom,

Chesney. Denisan Denver. Are youdoing, kiddy? I'm good. I'm
not just excited. I am sofreaking excited. Oh you are coming to
Denver, baby, I'm so excited, like to play the Broncos football Stadium.

(07:13):
I'm not sure how many how manytimes this will make it, but
it's it's it's always something that meand the band and everybody we kind of
have that have a star beside thaton our tour every year, you know,
because it's just like the best wayI can describe it, it's like
an avalanche coming at you of energythat you can't stop. It's great.
Well, there's like eighty thousand peoplescreaming at you, screaming for much fun

(07:38):
and it's just so much you know, people there are just so passionate about
sports and music, everything that ouraudience is about. To be able to
stand up there on that stage inDenver and experience that energy is is hard
to duplicate in any other place inmy life. But that kind of makes
us feel special. It really does. July twenty seventh in power Field with
the Zach Brown Band. Does itstill kind of give you butterflies in your

(08:00):
stomach when you hear them singing yoursongs back to you. That's like the
biggest honor you can have. Yeah, because you spend so much time working
on music and hoping it's right andhoping that someone will care. And when
you're up there on stage and you'replaying this music and you feel the fifty
to sixty thousand people sing these songsback to you, it validates all your

(08:20):
hard work. It validates you.Not only that, it validates your dream
and everything you try to do,you know, So it's an unbelievable feeling.
I've heard quite a few songs offyour new album Born. You connect
in so many different ways. Youhave, you know, that energy,
that spirit, that relaxation, thatlove, and then you also have songs
that talk about people who have passedin your life. I read that your

(08:43):
music embodies the philosophies that you liveby. What are those philosops? This
record, for sure is came thiscall to action if you will, to
get out and get off the couchand make the most of your life.
You know, especially with the songBorn and with this record specifically, I
felt like that it was a reminderthat we are as much as we have
difference in our life, we area lot alike. We we we want

(09:07):
our we want to be loved,and we want our families to be okay,
and we want to chase dreams andwe you know, all these things
we have in common. And Isee that within my audience, and I
think without even it was almost likethis, what didn't set out to be
an agenda, you know, formy record, but it just kind of

(09:28):
happened without me even knowing it.You know. It's just kind of where
my head was at and the thingsthat I gravitated towards. And I think
that that I added myself to afault in a lot of ways in putting
together a record because I want tobe able to translate that on stage,
and that's kind of the philosophy thatI've had for years. Try to translate

(09:50):
that on stage as much as possible. Well, you touched my heart with
wherever you are tonight and your music, you touch my heart and then you
bring my spirit back up and puta smile on the face than you do.
Well, that's really it's awesome tohear, and thank you. I
am with wherever you are to notI was fifty to fifty on whether it
was going to make the record ornot, you know, because those things

(10:13):
loss and grieving is just for somereason, just in conversation, uh,
people get uncomfortable with it. Andbut for me to sing this song kind
of song and give it to theworld, people get to take it and
applot to their life however they needit, you know. And for me
as personally a lot like you.I mean, you get to a place

(10:33):
in your life and you I realizeI've been to more funerals and weddings and
and so, and I would liketo believe that that there's something out there
much bigger than all of us thatwe don't understand, you know. And
and I would like to believe thatwhen people pass, that they become almost
like a guiding force to help usnot make terrible decisions. And do you

(10:56):
know what I mean, A coupleof badass angels looking out for me right
now. That's why I'm talking toyou. That's why I got this opportunity.
That's awesome, But that's that's kindof the heart of wherever you are
tonight. It's just a song aboutconnection and It's a song about loss and
the fact that that I've never Ihaven't had too many of these in my
life, you know, these songs. But it's a song about the idea

(11:18):
that you know, they're not they'renot gone, they're just out of sight
and that's that. And I liketo believe that that's the truth. I
do believe that. Let's talk abouttake her Home. Herty. I guess
called you up and said, areyou done with your album? And we're
playing that song over and over hereon one of six seven the Bulls,
So I'm so glad you added itme too, you know. That's kind

(11:41):
of how it happened. I mean, we weren't done with the record,
but we were close, you know, like I said, you're never really
done. But he goes me andthe guys wrote this for you, wrote
this with you in mind, andI don't know if you're anything like this
or not. And I went,oh my god, it's been a minute
since I've had a song like this, you know, And it kind of
felt like it was in my wheelhouse, and I felt like it was a
perfect way to start the journey ofthe Born record. And then we were

(12:05):
able to wrap a lot of thingsaround it, and I'm very proud of
it. It's one a song.I know that we'll be on the set
when we come. That's new andyou know new music is always great.
Well, I'm going to be therefront and center this Saturday in power Field,
Mile High. I was Zach BrownBand and Megan Marony born the album
Pick it Up. You will notbe disappointed. And God bless you.

(12:28):
You're like a chemist the way youput everything together on stage, selling out
every single time you come to Denver. I cannot wait to meet you in
person. I can't wait too.How can I forget the niece in Denver.
I'll tell you one other thing.My last name's Plant. That's not
hard to forget either. All Right, you take care, Bud, and
God bless you. Thanks. See
