I couldn't be more excited. Thanky'all for having me, and anytime we
can make it y'all's way, it'sgoing to be a good time, and
just grateful for the opportunity. Heck, yes, right around the corner,
not far off, I'll tell you. Speaking of exciting, I kind of
pulled this off your Instagram because you'relike a kid hearing your hit song see
You next Summer for the first timeon your truck radio. Now. I
(00:24):
just love that reaction because again,this is it. You're embarking on a
new branch of your career, comingoff the duo years. Was it the
first time you heard it on radio? Yeah, that was the first time.
It was the day it came out, and it was a special moment.
I was actually in my hometown aboutto play a hometown show later that
night, my wife and I were. We went and got a Larry's Giant
(00:45):
Sub and there's a there's an oldsurf shop hunt that I love, Salty
Dog Surf Shop, and I go, Babe, you wait in the car.
If it comes on, call me. I'm gonna go in the surf
shop. I don't care if I'mpaying or whatever, Like, just call
me, and not literally, noteven like ten minutes later, I hear
my phone ring and I see it'sit's Brittany. I go, it must
be playing. I answer, Icould hear it in the background. So

(01:07):
is just a different feeling, uneven then, you know, the old
days just just so grateful and kindof the road here to get there wasn't
necessarily sarily the straightest line or theeasiest, but I just couldn't be more
grateful for my team and y'all support, and just man, it's such a
special feeling. I mean, that'sthat's being on country radio. I don't

was in your hometown, at ashop that you normally shop at. Think
about your teenage self in there,and this really hot lady calls you who
happens to be your wife on theradio. Did you think that little Brian
would have ever dreamed as big asthis? Little Brian and Big Brian still
have some crazy, big, bigdreamers, I tell you what. But
(01:52):

know that music is continuing to umnot only give me a great purpose in
life, but lead my life.And that's you know, waking up every
single day, being on the onthe chase for great songs and and just
trying to build a strong fan basethat can grow with me through life.
