Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Broadcasting from the fifty ninth Annual Awards.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
The good Pists were rolling. We got George Burgh. Hey, George,
I got a question, Yes, sir, what the hell was
that sweater you gave Eddie?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
That is? I mean, what a nightmare?

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Do you understand how to take this?

Speaker 5 (00:18):
Do you understand how much crap they gave me?

Speaker 6 (00:20):
Great in that thing? Honestly, man, people pay a lot
of money for somethre like that. I know went to
lunch and to fill it out the way you did.

Speaker 7 (00:27):
Dude, You're so stupid.

Speaker 8 (00:30):
Dude, I really liked that sweater, like I thought, that's
what it was so awesome. I walked in the room
and they just laughed and they hate.

Speaker 6 (00:35):
Us because they ain't us. Brother, just don't just head down.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
You got it so doing?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, No, I'm sorry, dude.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
He walked in and I literally was like, man, we
got dumb and number here.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
That's what they called me.

Speaker 6 (00:49):
You didn't stop wearing it because I never wear it again.
Would you bring it back? Just maybe for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I mean, does it?

Speaker 9 (00:59):
Like?

Speaker 10 (01:00):
Do you what.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
A particular one?

Speaker 7 (01:03):
But that's like a yeah, that's limited. Hold on, hold on?

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Did you you were killing me?

Speaker 10 (01:10):
You're killing me?

Speaker 8 (01:11):
Did you purposely give me that sweater because you wouldn't
wear that one?

Speaker 7 (01:14):
I can't.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
I wouldn't say wouldn't wear it. I would say hadn't
worn it.

Speaker 8 (01:17):
Yeah, so so you you had a bunch of sweaters
and you're like, you know what, if I loved it,
I might.

Speaker 7 (01:22):
Not give it.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Such a jerk move, dude, George version, I've been here.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
He gave you the one from the trash pile.

Speaker 7 (01:34):
I have a breadmaker for you to.

Speaker 9 (01:37):
See.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
Now you're laughing at it.

Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm sorry, but I did think he looked really good
in that sweater.

Speaker 10 (01:43):
It's not true.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, it is Hell's life, man.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Man, it's as good as it's ever been. We're having
fun out on the road. Had a number one to
start the year, and hopefully another one getting close here.
I'm gonna get to go back to Texas for Thanksgiving.
Go watch the long Horns play the Aggies. God help us,
hopefully we bring our.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I mean, how depressing is it as a Longhorns fan
to see A and M be so good.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
They're good, man, They're really good.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
But I think we could take a little pride in
ruining their season if we If we come up with
a win too. Here, arch Manning really looks like he
is growing into a real quarterback. So I wouldn't write
us off. I wouldn't write us off for the game.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
My question is, though, it's not really ruining their season
now because they're gonna make the play, but the fans
will be happy.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
And I'll say this, man, I don't dislike A and
M like I do some other teams, like if Texas
and if Texas and A and M aren't playing, I'm
rooting for n M. Whereas like if I'm watching Oklahoma,
like I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Care who they're playing, I hope they lose.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Like, yeah, Dan, that's hardcore.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I mean they feel the same way about us, get it.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
That's what I'm saying, is like, that's what makes it
good sports, you know, a little rivalry.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
So I got a question. If you become rich enough,
like he's already rich enough, dude, Well, I mean ten
number ones, you know, are you gonna be a big
booster to the football team or Oh that's a great question,
like give your money back at the university and how much,
man like, how much would you have to make to
start being an NIL booster?

Speaker 6 (03:13):
It's hard for me just because to be rich enough
to be a booster at Texas. You're talking about ten
number ones, You're you're a peanut man. Those guys got
that oil money, they got the tech money. I mean,
those guys are donating crazy, crazy money. So I don't
know if I'll ever be that rich, and then if
i am, I'll probably give it to Saint Jude instead.
Do you don't want to be that invested? Man, I'm

(03:35):
just here to watch the game.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I find it crazy that these people give their money.
I'm like, dude, you worked for that. Like it's like
the Alumni associated station huts. You up out of alumni association.
Let's get that easy. They want you to give money back.
I'm like, well, I paid for my school. Why would
I give you my money now that i'm you made
me pay.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
For money money.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I was getting calls before we'd even finish paying our
student loans off, being like yes, I was like, bro.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I finished from high school. When did you pay those off?

Speaker 7 (04:03):
About two years ago?

Speaker 11 (04:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:05):
How did that feel?

Speaker 10 (04:06):
Great?

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Great? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (04:07):
And then Carroll wanted a new car right after. Back
at it. Man, Yeah, that's life.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean, here's my student loans? Is I paid one
hundred dollars a month or whatever. And finally I had
like five thousand dollars left and the company, I guess
I was more expensive to be on their books, and
they just sent me a letter said hey, we've forgiven
the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
You don't have to pay it back. And I'm like, yeah,
playing the long game. I played the long game. I
probably played more interest, but I mean I couldn't afford it.
It's like, how do you do it?

Speaker 10 (04:33):
And that's it?

Speaker 7 (04:33):
You won the race?

Speaker 9 (04:34):
I did.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
I won the race. I got it back on this.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Hey do you know lunchbox is three hours shorter?

Speaker 10 (04:38):

Speaker 6 (04:40):
What course would you need?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I don't even know the name of it now?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Like it was it was supposed to Like, So I
walked the stage in the spring, right, and I got
to get my what was a diploma? It was really
just an empty thing. They called my name out over
the and I was in front of everybody. I hugged the
president of the university, doctor Ricardo Romo. Utsa shout out.
He's no longer the president, but uh. And then I
got off the stage and I was like, oh, I'll

(05:04):
take it in the fall. You know it's not offered
the summersauice. I'll take it in the fall. And then
I got on with Bobby and I was like, well, man,
here we go.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
I mean you made the right call.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Yeah you made Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
Did Bobby make the right call? I would say it's
worked out? Okay, Yeah I would. I would say he's
doing right like you.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Would say you wouldn't go back right?

Speaker 8 (05:23):

the computer and say, like I graduated because.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
It's calculus or something, No, screw it.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
But if it's like I don't know golf, yeah, a
history of country music, I take it.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Man, I feel that too. Let's be real. But here's
the thing.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Back in the day, they didn't have online courses, so
it was like I was gonna have to go in person.
So I really haven't investigated it really since then because
I was just like, all right, man, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Like, do you have your diploma hanging up in your house?

Speaker 5 (05:50):

Speaker 12 (07:03):
You ready? Am I ready?

Speaker 14 (07:06):
Jordan Davis here? Jordan, Honestly, I'm gonna emit something right now.
I just had a wardrobe malfunctioned my zipper on my
pants like from busted open it, and I just had
like a whole thing in the bathroom trying to figure
it out.

Speaker 12 (07:17):
Do you guys know now?

Speaker 9 (07:18):
I feel bad because I was like, I'm a very
awkward position.

Speaker 15 (07:22):
I know, right, Yeah, I played I've played numerous songs
with my fly down.

Speaker 12 (07:27):
Really it's not that big a deal, does it. Like
a fan pointed out to you or do you?

Speaker 15 (07:31):
Yeah, you'll get like the hey you to kind of
look at you and just like point at your and
you just kind of you're like, oh, yeah, there it is.

Speaker 14 (07:37):
So would it make sense to have somebody on your
team like before you go on stage like fly check.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
Yeah, that's actually it's actually a genius.

Speaker 15 (07:44):
It's a very smart thing to do that we just
now figured out after after a pretty embarrassing wardrobe malfunctioning.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
Really I probably should have thought about that before right now.

Speaker 12 (07:54):
Well, no, I mean I was just thinking about it.

Speaker 14 (07:55):
I'm like, gosh, I get nervous when I'm just like
hanging out with one person and like maybe.

Speaker 12 (07:59):
I get food in my teeth, Like I have that happen.

Speaker 14 (08:01):
I can't imagine being on a stage and you have
things happen, and yeah, I can't really know or do
anything about it.

Speaker 9 (08:07):
I mean, it is what it is.

Speaker 12 (08:08):
You just get used to it at that part.

Speaker 15 (08:10):
It's kind of it's life. Things happen, you know whatever. Luckily,
luckily I was wearing underwear, so I think that's that's.

Speaker 12 (08:17):
Oh, yeah, you weren't Commando. That would be award.

Speaker 9 (08:19):
That would have been bad.

Speaker 12 (08:19):
I feel like that would have gone viral.

Speaker 9 (08:21):
Definitely, definitely would in that moment.

Speaker 14 (08:23):
Okay, so talk to me about live and stuff right now,
because you've had a crazy year.

Speaker 12 (08:27):
You've been doing awesome stuff with your music.

Speaker 15 (08:29):
Yeah, it's pretty great. Been the busiest year I've had
since I started touring. I don't know how many shows
we played, but it feels like probably, you know, close
to one hundred.

Speaker 9 (08:39):
I don't know. It was, it was busy.

Speaker 15 (08:41):
We did Australia, Canada, States, Europe, so it has it's
been a wild and then added a new kiddo to
the fams up to four now and done.

Speaker 9 (08:53):

time of year.

Speaker 15 (09:19):
Oh? Yeah, I would have decorated in July I could.
Why don't we just keep just keep Christmas going year round?

Speaker 12 (09:24):
That's what I say.

Speaker 14 (09:25):
The decorations are gonna be happy all the time. I
don't know why we give so much hate to early
Christmas decoration.

Speaker 15 (09:30):
The trees not up, there's like remnants of Christmas around
the house. But Christmas music has been played since November first.

Speaker 12 (09:37):

Speaker 14 (10:02):
Okay, So the kiddo and touring like you were just everywhere.
So what's your favorite place to play now of all
the where in the world.

Speaker 15 (10:10):
I'll be honestly, Australia is wild really, like the fans
over there are awesome.

Speaker 12 (10:15):
Did they make you drink out of a boot like
the Cowboy boot?

Speaker 9 (10:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (10:19):
But you just buy a new boot for each show?
And do you not like no, no, no, no, no, you do.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Like a slight you know, what do you call it?
Sleight of hand?

Speaker 14 (10:28):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Bring you to.

Speaker 15 (10:32):
Avoid them throwing you a boot and you have to
do it. You just have like somebody from your team
bring out a boot and be.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
Like, hey, there's a beer.

Speaker 12 (10:38):
In here, and it's a new boot, so you're.

Speaker 15 (10:40):
Not actually doing a full brand new boot that may
have a zip like bag in it that's holding a beer.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
You know.

Speaker 15 (11:18):
Uh yeah, no, it's been uh it's it's been being present.
I think that's been the thing that has been crazy
this year is like as busy as we've been, uh,
getting home, locking my phone away for a day or two,
and just really spending time with them, catching up on it,
you know, because I mean that's the thing you know,
we missed. I mean a lot of these songs are

(11:40):
written because I have missed a lot of stuff. So
you know, you kind of when you get back, you
can't deal with work. And it's okay. The world keeps spending.
You know, you don't have to deal with work Monday
through Sunday like we feel like we do. So I
lock the phone away, spend time with them, take them
somewhere and uh just be present with.

Speaker 12 (11:58):
Them and offer the credit card as well.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
Yeah, like Chris and do it.

Speaker 12 (13:10):
Do you does anybody ever call you Joshua? Though?

Speaker 11 (13:12):
My mom does, my grandma does.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (13:16):
It's usually when I was like in trouble, it'd be
like Joshua.

Speaker 12 (13:18):
Okay, So I have.

Speaker 14 (13:19):
This association with my middle name because I have two
middle names, and anytime my parents would be in trouble
would be like Morle.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
And so if somebody says that, I feel like it's
my government name.

Speaker 11 (13:27):
Yeah, totally yeah, really in trouble yeah yeah, yeah, yeah Joshua.

Speaker 7 (13:31):
Basically yeah, it's.

Speaker 11 (13:32):
Like what have I done wrong? And yeah what Yeah,
it's like the gut drop, you know, when you're looking
and you get sent to the principal's offices.

Speaker 14 (13:38):
Like exactly, Okay, You've had such a crazy year. Life's
been rocking and rolling all over the place for you.
You've been with Nickelbag, You've been touring alone.

Speaker 12 (13:46):
Do another thing.

Speaker 11 (13:47):
Yeah, we've had a I mean, it's been a great year.
We We got to start the year off with Jelly Roll,
did a bunch of I think it was like fifteen
or twenty shows with him, Mood and festivals and some
stuff with Riley, did some stuff with Dylan Scott, some
my own headline stuff. Released a debut record which was incredible,
I can't believe it took more than five years of
living in town to do that. But you know, I've

(14:07):
just been I guess patient on it. And then first
number one song at country radio, which was awesome too.
So it's been it's been fun.

Speaker 12 (14:14):
And why did it take those five years to come
out with the record.

Speaker 11 (14:16):
I think I'm started, like actually kind of figure it out.
Today we were just kind of talking about everything reflecting,
and I think for so long I was everybody was
telling me, like, you have to figure out what your
sound's gonna be and what you want to be like,
and I was, I'm a very confused listener of music,
Like I listened to rock and roll growing up, and
I listened to country, I listened to pop and rap,
and the project finally just became a bunch of all that.

(14:38):
Like you can go from one song that feels very
you know, more pop, say heavy, to traditional country, and
then it goes to like slam and rock, and I
kind of wanted it to be that way because that's
just who I am as a person as a listener,
And yeah, I just like to have the diversity on
the project and allow people to kind of come to
the project for what they what version of me they like?

Speaker 12 (14:58):
I guess yeah, no, for sure.

Speaker 14 (14:59):
We and you have toured with a bunch of different people.
So what's like the coolest thing you've learned about touring?
Because you have learned from multiple different types of people, I.

Speaker 11 (15:09):
Think you know, the best thing is just like it is,
your family, legitimately on the road, I'm gone three hundred
days a year or so, and that's the number one
most important thing. And then longevity, I mean, touring with
acts like Nickelback and Luke Brian, you start to realize that,
like twenty years is a long time, but it goes
by very quick, and to have a career for that long,

(15:30):
you know, you really need to not think about the
things you need to do. But you know you're better
off to take Like for me, it's like I'd rather
the steadying, you know, steady climb and you know, build
a great foundation and have a great people around me,
great team, great band, and yeah, just you know, I'm
very blessed.

Speaker 12 (15:46):
So yeah, I totally get that. Okay, I wanted to
ask you some social media questions. Do you hang out
on social media at all?

Speaker 11 (15:51):
I do?

Speaker 12 (15:51):
Okay, do you know what six seven means.

Speaker 11 (15:54):
Yeah, I just did like the six seven thing.

Speaker 12 (15:56):
Do you know what it means?

no manners. I'm a big not even like just like
not strict table manners, but like just being etiquette in respect,
like please pass that and I.

eating and you're just like, I don't know. I tried,

correctly and proper table manners was a thing growing up,

Speaker 18 (22:16):
So I threw it. It was right in his hands,
perfect sorrow in his hands.

Speaker 9 (22:20):
But he spikes it.

Speaker 20 (22:20):

Speaker 9 (23:17):
That was so difficult.

Speaker 12 (23:19):
Let's talk about you guys.

Speaker 14 (23:20):
Ready in Scuba, Tucker went more is here with us
And the last few times I've seen Tucker involved puppies
and then the other one he slapped me with the
tortilla on purpose.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Hold on, you asked me it was part of it,
and I just barely.

Speaker 17 (23:35):
You know, you were really make it sound worse than
it was.

Speaker 12 (23:37):
You could be as gentleman as you possibly could.

Speaker 2 (23:39):

Speaker 9 (23:40):
That was so uncomfortable for me.

Speaker 12 (23:42):
That's great funny.

Speaker 10 (23:44):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 14 (23:45):
But it's good to see you. I mean, how's life
going because you are just having a year.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
It's uh, it's pretty liveble.

Speaker 23 (23:51):
Honestly, I feel like everything that good that could happen
is happening right now, and I'm just I'm super blessed
to be a part of it, and I'm excited a
little nervous for tomorrow, but I'm excited for the Okay,
tell me why you're nervous because I'm performing, Yeah, the awards.

Speaker 12 (24:08):
This is the moment that you've been waiting for.

Speaker 23 (24:11):
Absolutely definitely more excited than nervous, but still that those
are nervous, still there. But I feel like once I
get up there and I hear all right, well on
two three, I'll be I'll be riding.

Speaker 12 (24:21):
It just is going to switch on another. Does that
ever happen on stage normally?

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Or you all that now all the time?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
You know?

Speaker 23 (24:29):
Somebody very wise once told me, Thomas Rhett. He told me,
if you're not nervous, you don't care. And uh, I
feel like that's very true. And you know, it's it's
one of those things that there's just a switch that
flips and it's it's showtime.

Speaker 12 (24:40):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (24:41):
So if you're if you're nervous, you care, what else
do you care about? What else makes you nervous besides
being on stage?

Speaker 12 (24:47):
Or are you like cool cucumber? You strike me as
somebody who's kind of a cool cucumber.

Speaker 10 (24:52):
I try blondes make me nervous.

Speaker 12 (24:54):
Uh, I'm making you nervous.

scroll through TikTok I send my buddies funny tiktoks or whatnot.

Speaker 11 (25:46):
But do you have on videos sometimes if I have time?

Speaker 12 (25:51):

I don't know what that is?

Speaker 2 (26:00):

Okay?

Speaker 14 (26:02):
It was a It was a video that an artist
put up and you put like seven of them up
and you're either group one, two, three, four, five, six seven,
but seven was the most viral one okay, and so
you're part of group seven, and just just say your
group zero.

Speaker 9 (26:14):

what's happening?

Speaker 18 (26:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (26:32):
Okay, it means nothing. It literally doesn't have a meaning.

Speaker 18 (26:36):
Oh I know, was it was it?

Speaker 12 (26:39):
It's gen z is that they're inside joke to everybody
else that it's not a thing.

Speaker 11 (26:43):
Oh, that's kind of clever actually.

Speaker 14 (26:46):
So now you're six seven and some people do like
six seven with their hands like they're kind of juggling.

Speaker 17 (26:52):
Their balancing gotcha.

Speaker 12 (26:53):
Okay, but it doesn't have a meaning.

Speaker 23 (26:55):
Yeah, my drummer said it the other day and I'm like, yo,
don't don't do that.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I don't I don't understand what's your saying to me?

Speaker 14 (27:37):
I'm trying to think it's fun listen, like I'm funny.
Like everything has to have a place. Nothing can be
out of place, and if it is, it really stresses
me out.

Speaker 18 (27:46):
I'm kind of that way.

Speaker 12 (27:48):
That's the thing.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
Oh c D.

cmat Will Works the Ball.

Speaker 12 (28:37):
Morgan here with Ashley Cook.

Speaker 14 (28:38):
I'm super excited because actually just got back from an
insane twenty four hours in New York.

Speaker 12 (28:43):
Yeah, you were doing WWE. How the heck did that
even happen?

Speaker 16 (28:46):
Honestly, I don't even know.

Speaker 24 (28:48):
I think it happened because when I was opening up
for Caine Brown on tour, gosh was up this year
whatever I think this, I think that was this year.
This time is flying like crazy. But I met some
of the owners of WWE at a show with him,
and I think they became fans and it just kind
of all like happened, but it was.

Speaker 16 (29:05):
It was wild. I mean yesterday yesterday, well, first off Friday.

Speaker 24 (29:08):
And night I put out my project called Ace and
then we had a crazy busy week, so all you
were at the Red Bull Jukebox show and then we
just flew to New York and I played the Today
Show first thing in the morning yesterday, and then I
went to Madison Square Garden to saying.

Speaker 25 (29:19):
For wwe breathing.

Speaker 12 (29:20):
Are you alive right now or is this like a
weird guy version of you?

Speaker 9 (29:23):
Yes?

Speaker 24 (29:25):
Weirdly, I'm like beyond great. I'm not sleeping much just
because the nature of release week and awards week. We
all are, you know, trying to fight through it. But
I've just I'm having so much fun. You know, it's
just a fun time.

Speaker 16 (29:37):
I love this for you.

Speaker 14 (29:38):
Are you, like, what is the moment where you're looking
at your career right now because this is all kind
of blown up in the last few years, and you
look at it and you're like, I don't even believe
that that happened, and I'm still trying to kind of
grasp that it's real.

Speaker 16 (29:50):
Right for sure?

Speaker 12 (29:51):
Have you had any of that moment yet?

Speaker 22 (29:53):
All?

Speaker 24 (29:53):
I mean, I think I think to like yesterday was
one of those where I was like, this is just insane,
But yeah, all of it, you know, I think getting
to play headline shows and hear people singing the words
back to the songs, and even just like recently my
song baby Blues off of my project.

Speaker 14 (30:11):
Okay, I've been seeing you do the Baby Blues guys
in the audience.

Speaker 12 (30:15):
It's so fun.

Speaker 14 (30:16):
It's the bestiny experience because like, are they trying to
hit on you back? Because I feel like it is
this like very flirtatious song, for sure, Yeah, But then
are they're like, well, it's like the parasocial thing because
Ashley Cook is talking to me, she recognized me in
my eyes.

Speaker 24 (30:28):
For sure, I mean kind of, but I will say,
like everybody's very respectful. Nobody like gets weird or touchy
or anything like that. That's good, but also too what
I love. My favorite ones are when I see a
crowd and I see like a girlfriend and a boyfriend
and the girlfriend's like pick him like he wants it,
Like like she's holding up a sign like my boyfriend
has blue eyes, Like they want that to happen. So

(30:49):
it's like, I know it's respectful because they're clearly taken,
but it's just like a fun exchange of something that's
like goofy and silly and something we can do together.
But I say, well, TikTok ships everybody I know every
video it's like what about Palmer?

Speaker 16 (31:02):
And what about this? What about Casey?

Speaker 24 (31:03):
Everybody's like obsessed with the people that I pick, which
I love because it's just like a fun storyline.

Speaker 12 (31:07):
Everybody's subjectively pretty attractive. That's been showing.

Speaker 16 (31:10):
I know the baby, I know how to pick up. Yeah,
great taste, thank you.

Speaker 12 (31:14):
So funny.

Speaker 14 (31:15):
So you're having a girl's girl moment where it's like
the girlfriend's helping, but also having like a fan moment
with somebody.

Speaker 16 (31:21):
Yeah, it happens to.

Speaker 24 (31:22):
Be their boyfriends, and some of them are single and
DM me afterwards and want to hang out and whatever.

Speaker 16 (31:26):
But you know, it's regardless, Its very fun.

Speaker 12 (31:29):
I love this for you.

Speaker 14 (31:30):
But it's a good time, such a fun era where
life is just kind of happening all around you.

Speaker 12 (31:34):
How do you stay grounded in all of that?

Speaker 24 (31:37):
I think just because I sign my record deal in
like twenty twenty one, I want to say so, I've
I've now been as signed artist.

Speaker 16 (31:43):
For about four years.

Speaker 24 (31:45):
I've had a number one song all the things, and
I just feel like I kind of went through the
initial shock of it all, and now it's just knowing
that God's got me and just taking a breath in
it and praying that he opens the doors he wants
to have opened, and he closes the ones that are
not meant for me, And if I don't understand why
they're closed, so be it. It's his plan. And I
think I just have a lot of confidence in that.

(32:06):
Where I used to stress about how things are gonna
go and when things are gonna happen and what needs
to go down and if if things are not happening,
that they should be happening. And now I'm just like,
you know what, I'm going to show up my best,
put out the best work that I possibly can, and
God's got it.

Speaker 16 (32:20):
That's it, you know.

Speaker 24 (32:21):
That's the confidence.

Speaker 14 (32:22):
And hopefully that'll help other people too, because that's always
always the hope too.

Speaker 12 (32:25):
I want to ask you some social questions. Are you
part of Group seven?

Speaker 16 (32:29):
Yes? Isn't everybody though? Isn't that kind of the joke?

Speaker 12 (32:32):
I kind of a little of Now.

Speaker 16 (32:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 14 (32:34):
I'm only now because I don't even know if everybody
technically saw the video. It's just now we're all collectively
a part of the Group seven. That we now for
sure about it.

Speaker 16 (32:41):
You saw the first video.

Speaker 12 (32:42):
I saw the video, like I saw the series of videos.

Speaker 14 (32:44):
I saw a few of them. Group seven was one
of them because it was the most viral one. But
I was like, well, I guess I'm in group seven,
three and one.

Speaker 16 (32:52):
You're a woman of many groups.

Speaker 13 (32:53):
You love it?

Speaker 12 (32:54):
Do you know what six seven means?

Speaker 16 (32:56):
Okay, I don't know what. I know what it is.
My dad actually taught me what this was. He was
like six seven. I was like, Dad, what are you doing?
And he's like, I'm with the times. I was like,
you're so weird.

Speaker 24 (33:06):
But he taught me that wasn't it like an interview
like a basketball player interview that it's I.

Speaker 14 (33:12):
Don't know the actual origin of it, like where it began,
but now the whole purpose is really that it's like
this giant inside joke of gen Z and it's six seven.

Speaker 12 (33:21):
It means nothing. It doesn't have a meaning. It's like
they do like the six seven, like they're kind of juggling,
but it means nothing. But I'm so weirdy dying that
your dad taught you this.

Speaker 24 (33:29):
No, I know, he teaches me all the kind of things,
like he teaches me everything he's I told him about
yesterday at WW Oh my god, who's the comedian that
was engaged to Rana Grande?

Speaker 12 (33:40):
Oh, Pete David's Pete Davison.

Speaker 24 (33:42):
He was there at the in the ring and my
dad like told me, I can't say it on air
because it's like not clean to say.

Speaker 16 (33:47):
But my dad was like, oh, he's the guy with
the And I was like, I think you know what
I'm talking about. I don't know if you do, but
I was like, Dad, why.

Speaker 12 (33:53):
Didn't you know this? I was like, I don't want
to know this.

Speaker 16 (33:56):
Why do you know this? So every Dad, you know,
he's the times you know he's doing it.

Speaker 21 (34:01):
So good.

Speaker 12 (34:02):
Okay, last question for you thanksgiving us coming up? What
are you not thankful for?

Speaker 16 (34:07):
Not thankful? Yeah, oh gosh, that's such a good question.

Speaker 14 (34:11):
And you can take it so many different directions, Like
I've I've said I'm not thankful for bad drivers or
people who stay in the slow lane.

Speaker 21 (34:17):
I like that.

Speaker 16 (34:18):
Yeah, I would say I'm not thankful for plane turbulence.

Speaker 12 (34:25):
Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 16 (34:26):
We just had some rough plane turbulence.

Speaker 26 (34:28):
I love that.

Speaker 16 (34:28):
Plain turbulence on the way to New York, so I
would say that.

Speaker 12 (34:31):
Okay, that's perfect, all right, we gotta get out of here.

Speaker 14 (34:34):
Ashes got places to be, so we take I know
we're good bye, everybody broadcasting from the fifty ninth day,
and you will see him works.

Speaker 12 (34:45):
Are you ready? Am I ready?

Speaker 16 (34:46):
Ready?

Speaker 12 (34:47):
Cody Johnson here with us, Cody. I was just jamming
into the in the car to your new cover of
Traveling Soldier.

Speaker 10 (34:53):
That seems to be the topic of the day.

Speaker 22 (34:55):
I think I killed my own single, the singles The Fall,
and I have not inner you'd a single time today
about the Fall.

Speaker 10 (35:02):
It's all been about Traveling Soldiers.

Speaker 12 (35:03):
Okay, so we'll get to the phar.

Speaker 10 (35:04):
I think we accomplished what we were trying to do
with that song, obviously, Yeah, but what.

Speaker 12 (35:08):
Was the reason, I mean the chicks. That's a song
that came out in Gosh several years ago. What happened there?

Speaker 10 (35:13):
Well, that song didn't get the credit it deserved.

Speaker 22 (35:15):
First of all, like whenever they dropped it off the
charts after some whatever they did politically, and everybody dropped
it from radio.

Speaker 10 (35:22):
But I knew this song from Bruce Robinson, and being
from Texas.

Speaker 25 (35:25):
You know, I'm fellow Texas girl here rest in.

Speaker 10 (35:28):
Peace, Charlie Robinson.

Speaker 22 (35:29):
So we decided, me and my band decided to cut
the song after we did the world tour earlier in
the year Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia, New Zealand. Everywhere we went,
all they wanted to hear was traveling Soldier. I mean,
there's signs in the crowd they come to meet and
great traveling soldier, traveling Soldier.

Speaker 10 (35:46):
And then it hit me. I was like, this is
not an America song. This is a world song.

Speaker 22 (35:50):
This is everybody relates to this narrative, to this message.
Even though we may believe differently, we still get the
feeling of this song. And so we just my band
and I went in the studio and did it exactly
like we do it on stage.

Speaker 27 (36:02):
Oh.

Speaker 20 (36:02):
I love that.

Speaker 12 (36:03):
That's such a cool moment too.

Speaker 14 (36:04):
And because in case you already talked about it so
many times, what is happening with the Fall?

Speaker 12 (36:08):
What's the inspiration behind the Fall song?

Speaker 22 (36:11):
I think that it is yet another narrative that everybody
can agree with, you know, the highs and lows of
whatever it is, whatever your life, whatever your story is.
In the end, the right is worth the fall, and
I thought, what a great message to put out. And
for me, it was the one song that when I
would play live instantly as soon as we started, everybody

(36:32):
come out, phones out, and I thought, man, like, what
an impactful moment because I noticed it in the big
hy Adrenaline show. I noticed this is the this is
the song that we play that all the phones come
out unless you're you know, like aside from prompting them.

Speaker 10 (36:44):
To light it up with the flashlights or whatever. Yeah,
they all had their phones out, and I was like,
the world needs to hear this.

Speaker 14 (36:49):
Well, that's cool because you're really gauging what your audience
and your fans want and you're just rolling with it.

Speaker 12 (36:54):
And I think that's such a cool.

Speaker 9 (36:55):
No.

Speaker 22 (36:56):
I mean, we in this industry, we have so much
research and data and all these things and algorithms that
tell you what you're supposed to do and what you're not.

Speaker 10 (37:03):
I literally just pay attention to the fans. That's your data,
that's my live data.

Speaker 13 (37:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (37:09):
With Thanksgiving coming up, we are very curious to know
Cody Johnson's favorite dish, Like, what are you looking most
forward to?

Speaker 10 (37:17):
The stuffing and the cranberry sauce.

Speaker 12 (37:19):
Okay, do you put granery sauce on your stuffing?

Speaker 11 (37:22):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (37:23):
Okay, I am in my in my heart and in
my soul. I am a six hundred pound man.

Speaker 22 (37:28):
I'm telling you when it comes to Thanksgiving, I just
go ahead and worse wet pants, anything elastic, and just
go all out.

Speaker 25 (37:35):
We're going to go another on your stuffing.

Speaker 21 (37:38):
I'm not a big Cranberry person, but Hudson Westbrook said
that he puts grape jelly on his stuffing.

Speaker 10 (37:43):
I'm gonna try that now, yeah, yes, well, and I
was like, yeah.

Speaker 14 (37:47):
Good whole argument because I've never actually seen anybody eat
gravy or Cranmer's. I mean, it's always at the table,
So now you're my evidence against it.

Speaker 10 (37:56):
No, yeah, I could drink the gravy and follow it
with the stuffing.

Speaker 12 (37:59):
Really like an ivy. Give I did have a.

Speaker 21 (38:04):
Follow up to the stuffing or the dressing question because
there's corn bread and then there's like white bread.

Speaker 25 (38:11):
Do you know the difference? And do you care? Okay,
corn bread okay?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
You know.

Speaker 21 (38:15):
My dad, South Texas boy grew up like south of
San Antonio and Dilly Texas love to cook and he
would do a combo corn bread and white bread combo,
and I I know.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
It's basically stuffing.

Speaker 25 (38:30):
Well no, he would call it dressing though.

Speaker 12 (38:33):
Is it dressing and stuffing the same thing.

Speaker 25 (38:36):
They're just different exactly, like they're not.

Speaker 10 (38:38):
We're at tomato tomato at this point.

Speaker 16 (38:40):
Okay, I I thought that was like the same thing.

Speaker 15 (38:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (38:44):
Hammer turkey, Oh turkey, really, I'm ham.

Speaker 12 (38:48):
My dad is like a ham guy, So I don't
think I've ever had a turkey.

Speaker 22 (38:53):
Last year for Thanksgiving and we went to our neighbor's
house and Miss Trudy cooked some fried chicken. Oh my god,
as my grandpa would say, it said, make your tongue
beat your brains out.

Speaker 10 (39:02):
It is so good.

Speaker 21 (39:04):
So when you say neighbor, I'm probably picturing like your
neighbor's probably not like next door.

Speaker 10 (39:09):
No, you take a buggy ride?

Speaker 21 (39:10):
Yeah, like I love yeah, yeah, because I'm like, I'm
sure there's some like acres of separation, but like I
love that you still go to your neighbor's house.

Speaker 25 (39:21):
Some of that is lost neighbors, but you know them all?

Speaker 10 (39:27):
Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 12 (39:27):
Do you bring them cookies or like make goods? Ever?
Did they bring you cookies or.

Speaker 10 (39:31):
Baked good I don't know. My wife.

Speaker 22 (39:32):
Let me take that back. My wife does I don't.
I'm more like, hey, your bull's out, do you want
him back? Hey, it works, I can take care of that.

Speaker 12 (39:43):
Okay, last question for you, speaking of Thanksgiving, what are
you not thankful for? And that's what we'll wrap up on.

Speaker 10 (39:49):
Oh, this ear injury, it's killing me. Oh yeah, busting
ears droom.

Speaker 16 (39:53):
Yeah, yeah, that was crazy.

Speaker 22 (39:55):
Still being trying to be patient. But it's a patient's
game of waiting for it to hear. But yeah, that's
that'd be the only thing that has pissed me off lately.

Speaker 12 (40:05):
I am glad to see that you're still doing well.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
You're recovering well, have good spirits.

Speaker 25 (40:09):
Yeah, you're doing you look sharp. Yeah, I gotta comment

up my clothes. I dressed myself. I'm a man.

Speaker 25 (40:27):

Oh yeah, wear you're right out and true. Baldridge, what's up?
You've been having an insane year.

Speaker 13 (40:53):
It has been an amazing, blest year, you know, a
year that I didn't think was gonna happen. You know,
last time I saw y'all, somebody's daughter just went number
one and that was a story that was just crazy
for us, having to create our own label and start
our own story. And you know, since then, we were
out on roal with Cody Johnson this year and Bailey
Zimmerman and we just got back from three weeks and

(41:15):
with Jelly Roll and Shaboozy over in Australia and New Zealand,
and man, I was that that was wild. I'm still tired,
Like we just got back this I don't know what
day it is, what time it is, it was like
seventeen hours difference, but it was just it's been an amazing,
blessed year and I'm just very thankful. You know, country
radio changed my life and playing my music and took

(41:35):
me in when they didn't have to. And man, it's
been really awesome.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
And it's pretty good to know that we changed your life.

Speaker 12 (41:41):
I feel, if I want to say, it's you in particular,
lunch country.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Radio, my own country radio BAHT part of the equation.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Okay, changed life.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
You are man, you are pretty awesome.

Speaker 12 (41:54):
Yeah, okay? Can you can you sing his song to him? Then?

Speaker 13 (41:58):
Like somebody's daughters buddies done? We need to get this
boy singing lessons.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
No, it doesn't matter. Did you can class?

Speaker 2 (42:08):
He's already I can't clap the same clap. I don't
know how to do beat rhythm.

Speaker 13 (42:12):
I don't good thing. You just talk.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
That's exactly right. I don't play a musical instrument. There
is no freaking way like karaoke bars. I get booed. Man,
Oh dang, it's real bad.

Speaker 13 (42:22):
That's so oft.

Speaker 12 (42:23):
If you were going to go to karaoke bar, what
are you choosing for your song?

Speaker 13 (42:26):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Man, somebody's daughter?

Speaker 12 (42:28):
Well no, if you've seen your own song, it's a
little weird.

Speaker 13 (42:30):
I think growing up, I remember when my voice changed
and it was always turn the lasts soft and slow.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
That ye, Like I said, I'm good at this. Okay,
you know who sings that?

Speaker 12 (42:48):
Josh Good did you know who that was.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
I was that was his name I was going to
get I thought that was what it was going to be.

Speaker 12 (42:55):
Okay, that's a good one though.

Speaker 14 (42:56):
Yeah, you still do like now that all of this is,
how in the past year are you still paying for
everything and doing the.

Speaker 12 (43:02):
Whole record label on your own?

Speaker 13 (43:03):
So I've kept It's been really fun. I've kept my
record label. It's called Lyric Riadge, and we partnered with BMG,
which is an amazing label, and we sent Tough People
to Country radio got top ten, which was super exciting,
and just a couple of weeks ago we sent a
new single called Rebel. But what's been so special? I
kept this radio team and now we've been working Brandon
Lake and Jelly Rolls Hard Fault, Hallelujah to country radio,

(43:26):
and we just sent a new artist named Julia Cole
to Country Radio two. She's awesome, She's amazing. So our
little label is now getting to help other artists along
their journeys and along their paths, and that's been really
special to me. It really means a lot to me
that like, not only did we have success, but now
hopefully we can help other artists careers and paths along

(43:47):
the way.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Yeah, does your bank account look a lot different?

Speaker 13 (43:49):
Man, I don't have to like fund this alone anymore.
And that was very scary. I remember there was nights
at like three am, being up and crying like tears
in my kitchen, like how am I going to pay
for this? How do I have this staff now? And
yes she's somebody's daughter streaming and I own this song,
and but how knowing I have a little boy that

(44:10):
was like six months old at the time, and I'm
spending all this money trying to navigate it. I got
a new wife and very very scary financially to figure
out how to pull this off.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
And then here you are here. We have you upgraded houses?
Have you stayed in the same house?

Speaker 13 (44:24):
We got a new house now that big time.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
A little bit.

Speaker 13 (44:29):
And I got a new truck. I got a new truck.
That's when you.

Speaker 16 (44:32):
Know it's real great news.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Vacation house not a vacation house, yeh no.

Speaker 14 (44:38):
But he's now investing in other artists, which I bet
is a cool experience just in general, from going from
what you started at and you were talking about crying
in the kitchen to now being able to put effort
into other artists because of all.

Speaker 13 (44:49):
Of this like that, Yes, and I just feel like
it was such an answer prayer for me and just
talking to God. And I just think, you know, I
know what it's like to be an artist that is struggling,
that is trying to figure their path out and to
get on radio, and you know, I feel for them
in such a way that I that no other person,
no other record head, can feel that. And it's been

(45:09):
really special to watch Julia hear her song on the
radio for the first time and be a I mean
just a small I mean, we're such a small part
of that, but it's I hope that we get to
help other artists along the way and also, you know,
have more music of our own go up the chart
and keep touring and going out on the out on
the road. But yeah, it's a joy of mine for sure,
of helping other artists.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
So what are some of the cool things like now
that you have that number one song and everything, you're
starting to blow up, cool events that you've gotten to
go to that you're just like, man, I can't believe
I'm here.

Speaker 13 (45:39):
Oh man. I think the after party of the ACMs
was a special moment. It was like I remember sitting
at the table and it was like everybody was around.
I mean I was hanging with Post and Jelly and
Avril Levine and and I was just like, what the
frick am I doing sitting here at this table and
all these cool people are around. And that was one

(46:00):
of those moments that was like, Oh crap, Like we're
We're in the game, coach, you know, and we get
to be obviously a small part of that, but it's
just that has been one of those moments that I
go back to. I'm like, you know what we are,
we are in the game. We get to hang out
with all these people now. And not that that's everything
by any means, but that was one of those moments

(46:23):
for sure. It was like, oh crap, what.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
About like a cracker barrel bathroom or something when you're
at the urinal. Have you heard your song over a
speaker anywhere?

Speaker 13 (46:32):
Yeah, I mean I've been in a pilot bathroom, out
on the road at a gas station and I've heard it.
Not a cracker barrel is high high class, you know.
I was. I was in a pilot in a pilot
and heard it. That was pretty sweet.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
That's like you're sitting there, I got next you going,
hey trucker, you know that's my soul.

Speaker 13 (46:48):
That's right, that's bros.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
That's really cool.

Speaker 12 (46:50):
Well, we do have Thanksgiving coming up, so we have
to ask you a very intense question.

Speaker 13 (46:54):
What you got?

Speaker 12 (46:54):
What are you not thankful for?

Speaker 13 (46:57):
Oh my gosh, what am I?

Speaker 12 (46:58):
We just heard all about all the things you are
thankful for, so we got to mix it up a
little bit.

Speaker 13 (47:02):
What am I not thankful for? Hmmm, I don't know.
That's a that's a that was a throw me off
question because I had all my things that I'm thankful for.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
That's too easy.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
That's too easy.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
That's too easy. Everybody could come up with thankful.

Speaker 14 (47:15):
You know what I'm really not thankful for is people
who sucking driving like they really didn't go to school
to drive at all. That's a good one, and they
kind of just really make life harder sometimes.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
So that's what I'm not thinking for is people that
change their kids diaper and then they're throwing the parking
lot like that is discussing as a former car guy
at Sam's Club, and I'd have to pick those diapers
up and it's just like just throwing the trash. Here
and or leaving your car so you find a trash again,
like what are we doing throwing it on the ground.

Speaker 13 (47:41):
And what I'm not thankful for is the people on
the airplane to get up in the back and walk
sprint to the front when you're trying to get off.
That is like one of my biggest non thankful things.
They can stay in the back.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Well done, well done, gone it?

Speaker 13 (47:55):
Thank you? No, no, it's one of my biggest pet
feet every time they up and pack it.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Don't miss the CMAS Live on ABC Wednesday night at
eight seven Central.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
I am, how did you just the watch?

Speaker 10 (48:10):
Watch?

Speaker 7 (48:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (48:10):
Watch?

Speaker 13 (48:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (48:13):
His watch is on the right hand side.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
That's because he's left handed. We're just talking about it.

Speaker 12 (48:17):
I thought I'm confused.

Speaker 11 (48:19):
Now okay, you wear it.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
On the right filer.

Speaker 16 (48:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (48:22):
I think tip normally like if you're if you are
whatever hand you are dominant with you where you're watching
your other hand.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Because you use I use my right hand less got it?

Speaker 12 (48:30):
Like you you know what I mean?

Speaker 9 (48:31):
Like banging your hand on?

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Is that why we probably?

Speaker 10 (48:34):
Like that's what I've always heard.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
I would think that I don't know you're right, so
you don't want to scratch your watch.

Speaker 12 (48:40):
I guess you're like signing autographs. I was gonna say
most people don't. Really, they're texting more than they're writing now,
you know, like digital Yeah.

Speaker 26 (48:48):
Yeah kind of, but you autographs, so you're right, Yeah,
I'm still but I have to I get the smug look.

Speaker 10 (48:54):
I have smudge from that because you go watch for
that sucks what I've heard.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
Yeah, that's left handed.

Speaker 14 (49:00):
We do.

Speaker 9 (49:02):
The territory.

Speaker 10 (49:04):
Yeah, we know.

Speaker 12 (49:05):
D How are you? How are things going? Like when
you're rocking and rolling lately? Does it feel good?

Speaker 18 (49:10):
It's good?

Speaker 9 (49:10):
Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 26 (49:11):
We just wrapped up tour not too long ago, and
it was really like a really cool end of the tour,
a couple of really big shows and I actually took
a long break in October with my wife, my daughter
and and uh just sort of you know, getting getting
geared up again to just do a bunch of stuff
till Christmas and you know.

Speaker 17 (49:28):
Job go anywhere cool, Like, isn't weird?

Speaker 5 (49:30):
Like you travel so much?

Speaker 26 (49:31):
So when you were like, and my wife stays, she's
home a lot, so she's like, let's go somewhere please.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
But we we have a place in Florida that we
just we but we just got it. So we went
so like we we bought it and then like had
did not stay in it.

Speaker 26 (49:48):
So the second I got off tour, we went down
there for like a month and just sort of broke
it in and it was awesome.

Speaker 11 (49:54):
So, uh that's where now we're we're we're we're forced.

Speaker 18 (49:58):
To go there for a while since we have But
it's fun.

Speaker 14 (50:01):
Are you do you feel like you kind of have
two different personas, like one that's this road live hardy
and then you go home and you get to be
a dad and a husband and.

Speaker 26 (50:08):
Just certainly yeah, of course, you know. I mean it's
it's it's kind of similar to uh, you know, it's weird.
I get this question a lot, and I mean there's
a lot of me on stage and stuff that is
still very much part of my personality, but it is
some somewhat of a kind of like a professional wrestler thing,
you know, where the show is the show and that's

(50:31):
kind of my that's who I am as an entertainer
and who I am as a person is is just
a little different.

Speaker 12 (50:36):
But tell me, are you seeing like rock and roll
lallabies to your kiddo?

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (50:39):
So there's a there's a spot a Spotify playlist, uh
that's called Twinkle Twinkle Little rock Star. And somebody went
in and they they lullabied all these cool rock songs,
and so I saved all of my favorite ones. And
thankfully now Rosie is like she's like in a thing
where we just when it's bedtime, we just put her
in bed.

Speaker 10 (50:57):
She falls asleep.

Speaker 26 (50:58):
But for a long time when we had a rocker, yeah,
I would just play Twinkle Twikle Little rock Star.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
It's like black Hole Sun Sound Garden.

Speaker 10 (51:04):
But it's like little bells and so it is sick.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
That's cool, That's really cool.

Speaker 12 (51:08):
Are you hoping she kind of grows up to be
a rock star like you or that? Just hoping she
likes the music the muse.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
As long as she likes she's not gonna have a choice.

Speaker 10 (51:15):
She's literally not gonna have a choice as.

Speaker 26 (51:17):
Soon as she kind of gets old enough to like
understand music, like really understand it. It's because its own.
It's just gonna be a lot of a lot of
a lot of the good stuff. But you know, I'm
thankful for my dad for pretty much forcing rock and
roll on me because of how much I love it
now and and I'm gonna certainly do the same to her.
You know, if she's thirteen or fourteen, she doesn't like it,
that's fine, but I'm not gonna give her a chance

(51:38):
at the beginning.

Speaker 5 (51:38):
It's gonna be.

Speaker 8 (51:39):
Weird where she's gonna try to get you into her
music and you're gonna be like, that sounds cool, but.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
A hipster about like the wheels on the bus.

Speaker 16 (51:47):
Yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Riding's a little lazy.

Speaker 14 (51:50):
But.

Speaker 10 (51:52):
Right, I'm in later in lifely, Yeah, I got, I got?

Speaker 9 (51:54):
What is that? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (51:56):
Okay, we have a fun question because Thanksgiving us coming
up and everybody's asking you what you're grateful for, and
that's fun.

Speaker 12 (52:00):
But what are you not thankful for?

Speaker 14 (52:05):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (52:05):
Okay, yeah, yeah you got this food poisoning?

Speaker 12 (52:09):
Oh did you get food poisoning?

Speaker 16 (52:11):
Recently?

Speaker 26 (52:11):
I've gotten it a couple of times in the last
couple of years, and I don't know why, but just
the the sensation of being like extremely nauseated is something
that I will never, ever, ever, ever ever wish for.
So that's I don't know if that's the right way.
I'm not unthankful for it. I just don't want it
to exist.

Speaker 18 (52:30):
But know that you got it. You got eating a
lot of food and Thanksgiving food poisoning.

Speaker 8 (52:35):
That's perfect because my mind of the people that don't
thank you when you hold the door for him, that's mine.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
I'm not thinking a man, man, dude, it's like you
you go out of the.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
Way to hold the door for him, and they just
walk in there.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Another one, very similar is when you let somebody in
in a car line.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Then at waigh that you do get out of here exact.

Speaker 12 (52:51):
Yeah, good, you got it, you got the right context.

Speaker 16 (52:53):
This is great.

Speaker 12 (52:54):
Well, hearty, thanks for some advice.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Broadcasting from the fifty nine. And you will see me
at war.

Speaker 16 (53:01):
It's the ball.

Speaker 7 (53:04):
Coming to you in three two.

Speaker 25 (53:06):
Oh yeah, and we're back at the scene and the
rains here. Okay, so guess what what.

Speaker 21 (53:12):
I had some friends yesterday they're like, oh, are you
gonna come to the Auburn Alabama game? And I was like,
I don't know yet because I'm trying to figure out if,
like both my kids will come or what we're going
to do. But I have a lot of family going
and they're like, yeah, I think we're gonna go see
Riley Green on Friday night.

Speaker 25 (53:27):
Did you know you're playing there?

Speaker 10 (53:28):
I did you decided not to go?

Speaker 2 (53:30):
No?

Speaker 25 (53:31):
No, I still don't know yet, but that's how it
came up. And they just said that to me last night.
And then I saw you walking up and I was
like And then I was like, wait, I think you.

Speaker 16 (53:39):
Did you go to Auburn.

Speaker 7 (53:40):
I didn't go to Auburn. I'm an Auburn fan.

Speaker 27 (53:43):
Okay, being from Alabama, you always got to kind of
ride the fence a little bit as an artist because
you can completely split your fan base. Uh, but I
love Auburn. And there's not a great venue down there.
You know, there's a sky bar and there's you know,
a few bars I played when I was coming up.
But we're playing the Basketball Arena Aready Show, and uh
it's right before the iron Ball.

Speaker 7 (54:04):
So that's the only way I was gonna get to
go to the Iron bull have a Saturday off to go.

Speaker 25 (54:07):
Is a you know, go playoff show play and then
so you will go to the game.

Speaker 7 (54:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the game.

Speaker 27 (54:12):
Probably should probably try to be like the Matthew McConaughey
of Auburn walk around the sideline.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
With a cowboy hat all you know, with like a
real stiff leather jacket on. Yeah, that'd be cool.

Speaker 21 (54:21):
He's uh definitely uh coined that role with you t
like he's like Matthew McConaughey has, he's like a vibe
on the field.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
He's cool.

Speaker 7 (54:30):
It's cool that it's like it's just a fictional character
that's there and he's hanging out.

Speaker 21 (54:34):
He's definitely, So I wonder, Yeah, splitting your fan base,
You're like, obviously they know you're Auburn, but sometimes like,
do you ever like, do you ever say role type?

Speaker 27 (54:43):
I will say it, but it's inferred sometimes sometimes roll. Yeah,
I don't even get the r out. What now, I've
got some songs that I wrote about my green Daddy
that and he was a big Alabama fan. A lot
of my family's Alabama fans, so I kind of use
that like Alabama beating ten, seeing a song, hell a
way to go.

Speaker 7 (55:01):
So it's a little gray. People don't really know.

Speaker 21 (55:04):
So you said grand Diddy, and I have family from
Alabama and they say I grew up in Texas, but
my all my cousins say Diddy, Diddy, Mama Diddy.

Speaker 25 (55:13):
And so we were talking to Bobby because Bobby's having
a baby.

Speaker 7 (55:16):
Yeah, and what was he going to be called?

Speaker 25 (55:17):
Well, that's the question, which is he like, is your
dad dad, daddy or diddy?

Speaker 7 (55:22):
See, well he's not Diddy. That's put that out there
first and foremost.

Speaker 25 (55:27):
I don't like daddy, daddy. Pops okay, Oh okay, you're
another pops. Okay, because Eddie does pop while.

Speaker 7 (55:36):
Like Fresh Prince of bell Air when I was growing up,
and I feel like you call people pops.

Speaker 25 (55:40):
Okay, So so you do pop Okay. Well, I just
know you wanted to put your intake on what Bobby
should be called, uh vice kid.

Speaker 7 (55:49):
Poppy Bobby?

Speaker 25 (55:50):
Yeah, okay, I'll have my Yeah, just tell him Pobby poppy. Okay,
before we let you go on to another interview. What
are you not grateful for this year? It's like we
just like to do the opposite.

Speaker 5 (56:03):
Yeah, I get that this, Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 25 (56:07):
Oh, what's something like hmm.

Speaker 7 (56:11):
Okay, Like give me an example. What are you not
grateful for?

Speaker 25 (56:14):
You know, like I don't know, disease.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
You can't do that, that's not new.

Speaker 27 (56:17):
It's gotta be something that like this year. If you
said you're grateful for something to happen this year, because
something that happened.

Speaker 25 (56:22):
Distention division.

Speaker 7 (56:25):
Oh you could be like it's a division like math.

Speaker 25 (56:28):
Division of people like.

Speaker 7 (56:30):
That didn't happen this year either. It's like that's always
been going on.

Speaker 25 (56:33):
Fine elephants.

Speaker 7 (56:35):
How about like I lost my finger?

Speaker 25 (56:38):
Okay, but you didn't.

Speaker 7 (56:40):
Yeah, but that's a good example, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (56:42):
Okay, Yes, example, Cody Johnson has an ear drum situation,
so he was like, oh my ear.

Speaker 27 (56:48):
So you can't be not grateful for somebody else's things
and you have to pick one. You still haven't picked one.

Speaker 25 (56:52):
Okay, I am not grateful for.

Speaker 7 (56:56):
This would be good though.

Speaker 27 (56:57):
If I lost the finger, that'd be a perfect I
almost wish I had just for this interview.

Speaker 25 (57:03):
Gosh, life is just so good right now.

Speaker 12 (57:06):
Okay, we'll end on that.

Speaker 25 (57:08):
Christmas all right, and Happy Thanksgiving.
