Oh perfect, I love bumping booty. Everybody likes have fun.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I agree. I didn't say it was bad. I was
just telling you that what's going on Laurda Lane? I

saw you?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You know, you like got married, birtha child, and birtha baby?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah? Like, is that not just the craziest thing ever, It's.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
The most incredible thing of my life. Yes, I cannot believe.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I did that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Did you go epidural or no epidural.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
I got an epidural at eight centimeters went all the
wo Wait, so.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Were you leaning on like being totally natural.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I was planning on being natural, but I ended up
having to be induced.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I went twelve days past my due date.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I was ama fest I saw you ten days past
my due date, trying to get the baby to start,
you know, making some moves.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
She did not want to come out. She was baking
up in there.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
She was very comfy, and so I once I got induced,
I progressed so quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I was like, okay, yeah, see because my wife, she
had planned to go all natural, you know what I mean,
and her water breaks and we're in there and she's
like puking because of the page. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
When I started puking, I was like, give me that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That is exactly what she did. She goes, give me
the trash, can give me the trash? Can I need that?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Give me that?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Okay, so but I need to know from there. That
was the moment that it's like I'm cracking up.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That is like, when I started puking, I was like okay.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And then here's what's funny of the third one, Like
she started having pain. She's like, all right, I need
that epidural. By the time they could even get the
thing in her back, the baby's already.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
That's pretty much what happened to me because I progressed
so quickly. I don't know what was going on. My
body would just not like my cervix wouldn't dilate. And
once they helped my service dilate, shoom, I mean so fast,
like within like three hours, I was dilated.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
To man, that is right. And we had one of
those overnight ones, like we were up all night, you
know what I mean. It was so miserable on the
phone with our parents. Oh yeah, get a play and
it's coming, the baby's coming. And I had just gotten
back from a three day bender in Vegas. I mean
it was just like, oh my god, I was I
was showing to I was like falling asleep during labor,
(03:07):
you know what I mean. My wife's I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Once that epidural hit, I was like, sure, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Okay, but I need to know from a woman's perspective,
because you always hear moms and like, it was the
most beautiful experience in my life. But was it or
were you, like, holy crap, I can't believe I did that.
And that was crazy that that even happened.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
It both probably a little bit of both. I mean
it was pretty intense. It's a very intense situation. But
when they handed that baby to me, I can't even
explain it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You've you I've experienced it. And let me tell you
we we didn't find out that. I don't know about yours,
but we didn't find out the gender till it was born.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And so also the level of surprise, Oh.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
My gosh, let me tell you. And the doctor like
holds it up and my wife's like, what is it?
And I'm not even thinking general it's a baby. She goes, oh,
is it a boy or girl?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I can say this moment.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I was like, oh, it's a boy, and you
know what I mean. And then you just got to
go crazy and you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Just have the one.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I got three boys, three boys.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
The first one is it was it different for the other.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Two because we didn't find out the gender for all three,
and so all three.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
That next I could not do it the first time,
but I want to do that next.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'll tell you it is such a cool thing because
in every every appointment you go to, like the ultra
sound everything. The first thing I would say them, we
don't know the gender, we don't want to know, do
not tell it. I would make sure. Oh, I would
scream it because I was like one of these idiots,
Oh look at this little or yeah, or she's doing
so good down there, you know what I mean. You
(04:43):
can say, Okay, that's amazing, amazing, it was great, It
was great. Yeah, it's great to.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
See you, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I mean, that's before lunch making on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
This is exciting to talk about when you become this
stage of your life, this what do they call it season?
Speaker 9 (05:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Uh, it's like that's you want to talk about it?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
That's all I think about exactly. I'm like, I do
love music too, but have you seen my daughter?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But that's what I was going to ask you, actually,
because it's always fun to listen to the moms after
because like their life changes so much, so like life
for you, now.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
What is it going to look like?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So I'm figuring out how to kind of balance everything
because obviously the number one priority in my life now
is her, So just kind of balancing all of that.
But she goes on the road with me. So when
I'm on the bus, she goes with me. She sleeps
like a champ on the bus. I think it's because
I toured the whole time I was pregnant.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
I think she's used to.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And she probably likes your music because you played it
a lot when she's better.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
If I can't have if I can't count on her, I'm.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Really ticked, like, please please let her lie. But we're
going out on the tour with Rascal Flights in January,
so that'll be good. My mom goes with me right
now to help out, which is kind of crazy full
circle because when I started this career after American Idol,
I was sixteen.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
So my mom went on the bus with me.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Oh my gosh, she's taking a bus back on the bus,
and she has.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A new title. She's no longer mom, she's grandma.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Do you call her grandma or so my mom became
a grandma forty My brother had a baby, well, his
wife had a baby young.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
They were young and up my hometown, and so she's.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Sassy, sassy.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
My mother is sass sassy before I love.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
She has four grandchildren, well now she has six, but
she my brother had four, and then I have a
step sibling that has a baby a week younger than
my daughter.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, trying to steal the spotlight. That's not cool. Come on, man,
let Laura and Lenea have that. You know what I'm saying,
Like it's her time to be pregnant. Come on?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh is well Laura balancing it on.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I'm very proud of that, and I want to show
her she's a little girl. I want to show her
you can do both. And I was really worried about
that though, Like I was like, what's this, What's this
going to mean for my career? And it's the biggest
joke ever because I just figured it out.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
You just figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's what people always say. It's like, I don't know
if we're ready for a baby. Guess what, You're never
You're never ready, like you.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's like every day.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I wake up and there's a new challenge that I
have to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
And I'm like, I could have done this five years ago,
except I would have had an ex boyfriend doing it
with me. They all sucks I wanted to do with
my husband.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's someone getting to talk with you. You're amazing, and
we're excited for you in this whole new chelt Wait
before you go.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Though, it's Thanksgiving and we know what you're thankful for
all that, But what are you not grateful for? Not
thankful for, not thankful.
Speaker 11 (07:53):
For drivers, not thank before the breast pump?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh gosh, that's a rough thing.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
But I'm thankful for it, but also.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Not It's that's tough.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Therumping is I pumped on the way here.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Let me tell you one time we were in Vegas
and my wife was pumping at the blackjack table, like
I mean, she had pump everywhere.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I'm just gonna tell you, if you see me in public,
there's a fifty chance I'm pumping.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah. And the pumps have gotten so nice now that
you know, you cannot even.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Notice that you get more milk.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I feel like you can perform on stage and nobody
would know you could just be pumping, and that one
happened on stage.

Six, broadcasting from the fifty ninth Annual works.
Speaker 14 (14:01):
He didn't feel that right earlier.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Maybe they turned some stuff. Maybe I think some stuff
some lights. I think some lights got turned up. Okay,
all right, Dustin Lynch, we're going to talk about thet
We're going to talk about the holidays, because well, we've
been asking people what they're ungrateful for, and that feels
(14:25):
a little negative.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I do realize that what are the answers to that?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Oh well, so, for example, Cody Johnson has a situation
with his ear drum that's been quite painful, so he's
not grateful for that. Riley Green could not come up
with anything. He was like, uh yeah, he was sort
of like, uh, you know. I gave him an example
of like, well disease, and he's like, he said, it
(14:52):
has to be specific to you as a person.
Speaker 15 (14:55):
So I'm ungrateful for a big buck that didn't walk
out last week when I was hunting about that.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Oh so you got to shoot nothing?
Speaker 9 (15:02):
No, that's awesome, though.
Speaker 14 (15:05):
My nose is running.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Okay, it's that.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I have been sick scuba.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Sorry, I'm pausing real quick because I felt my nose
running the interview.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
No, he said it.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And then Dustin goes, Dustin was really kind. He goes,
it's okay, it's that time of year, like he saw
it the whole time.
Speaker 14 (15:26):
But it's like, no, I can't feel it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No, I couldn't feel it.
Speaker 14 (15:31):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Okay, let's get it rolling. So I'm not grateful for that, Yeah,
my nose running.
Speaker 14 (15:36):
So now you go.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
So now you get to go.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
I just told you I'm not grateful for the the.
Speaker 14 (15:43):
Blood I'm starting over, I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Yeah, okay, so the book I'm not. I could I
could see how that's frustrating. You set out to go
hunting and then you catch nothing. Okay, Let's fast forward
to the food part of Thanksgiving, because we've been asking
people they're the dish they're most looking.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Forward to, most looking forward to.
Speaker 15 (16:03):
I go, I go lean amine all like the starches,
so the potatoes, all that I kind of skip skip
around because it leaves more room in the belly for desserts. Okay,
So I like to get all my protein and all
that fun stuff in. I love the Ocean Spray cranberry
cann sauce more than the real deal stuff.
Speaker 14 (16:19):
Are you endorsed by Ocean Spray?
Speaker 16 (16:20):
No?
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Okay, it was just sure because I was like, wow,
that was very specific.
Speaker 15 (16:24):
I realize I'm talking all around my answer. I still
haven't given you my answer. I leave room for desserts. Okay,
so I'll do like five different desserts on one plate.
My Well, now I need you to pick your favorite dessert.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Set tooth problem.
Speaker 14 (16:36):
You have to pick one. You get one dessert.
Speaker 15 (16:39):
Mom's pecan pie okay, yeah, which is essentially what just
butter and sugar.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Well, I don't know does she have a good recipe
because I might need to get it. I'm in charge
of bringing pa compie to the Thanksgiving this year and
I've never made one.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
I used to hate it. I love it.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
No, Yeah, it must be like a like a you know,
with age, you know, we start to like things we
didn't like when we were kids. But I might need
to get your mom's recipe.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Okay, I can find that.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Feel like I still remember the time that your parents
came on the bobby bone show.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
Yes, that was so fun. Awkward?
Speaker 14 (17:05):
Why why awkward?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
They're so nervous around cameras.
Speaker 14 (17:09):
But they did a great job.
Speaker 15 (17:10):
They did fine. But if you knew mom and dad
off of camera, you'd be like, oh, that's not.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
The same people.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (17:15):
So is that who you're going to be spending Thanksgiving with?
Speaker 13 (17:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (17:17):
Yeah, so okay the past handful of years they come
up and we do it at my farm outside of Nashville.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Okay, so I.
Speaker 15 (17:22):
Have mom, dad, sister, brother in law, and the two
kids Nie said, nephew, and then any friends that don't
have a home.
Speaker 17 (17:29):
Tone.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
So you're the host house. Okay, so do you cook?
Speaker 15 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, I'll help out. Oh yeah, but me and
the brother in law are kind of man of the grills.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Okay, and then of course the girls are like get
out of our way in the kitchen when they're they're
doing all the bake stuff the thing.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Cody Johnson had a good question before we wrap, So
I'm going to ask it to you.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
But he said hammer turkey.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Oh ham, Oh he said ham too.
Speaker 15 (17:52):
Yeah, I would much rather. I think the turkey we
just put up with. It's like there's not a whole
lot of flavor. Here give me the honey Baked Tam
all day.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Honey Baked Tam all Day, and then Ocean Spray Cranberries,
the camp out of the camp.
Speaker 18 (18:05):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC tonight had eight
seven Central.
Speaker 19 (18:11):
Get over there, Hello, check one too.
Speaker 18 (18:14):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, Morgan here at the CMA Award remotes with Stephen
Wilson Junior.
Speaker 19 (18:22):
How are you good, Morgan? How are you good?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I was just reading a really quick portfolio of you,
and You've lived like eighty lives. You've done a whole
bunch of things. You were a boxer, you're an R
and D scientist, You've done all these wild things. What
brought you into music from all of that?
Speaker 20 (18:40):
Well, yeah, my music career is like a culmination of
all those lives.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (18:46):
My first stage was a boxing ring. I started fighting
around age seven. My dad was a fighter, so we
would open up the adult fights. So I've been an
opener for a long time. Boxing cards are a lot
like show cards, you know, as openers, and then there's
the big headliner. So I've been kind of a showman.
But I was always really quiet as a kid. I
(19:07):
never really talked like the first twenty years of my life.
But I had no problem fighting another dude in the ring.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, there's not a lot of talking that goes into fighting.
Speaker 20 (19:17):
Yeah yeah, unless you're trash talking. Yeah, but yeah, so
you go up there and let your hands do the talking.
And that's so that's what I did. That was my
first stage, and that's where I kind of learned to
enjoy and perhaps.
Speaker 19 (19:32):
Get it.
Speaker 20 (19:33):
I don't like to use the word addicted, but I
think I think my dad was too. My dad was
a real showman in the ring, and uh so, like
you kind of get addicted.
Speaker 19 (19:42):
To the roar of a crowd, even for a quiet,
shy kid.
Speaker 20 (19:45):
And and then I just went and you know, I
grew up in a real small town and I was
either going to stay in that town or get out.
And I was a really nerdy science kid, so I
went and got a science degree at MTSU. But I
was always obsessed with songwriting. This song Don't Take the
Girl kind of changed my made a mess out of
(20:06):
me on a school bus when I was a kid,
and I had.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
To for you, like going through a heartbreak or like
going through love.
Speaker 19 (20:11):
At the time, No, it was like, honestly, what was
really weird.
Speaker 20 (20:15):
Is like, like my mama, you know, kind of had
a bunch of issues. She was married to some really
dangerous She's married to a really dangerous man at the
time my parents split up, and I was really scared
for her life. And I was able to copy and
paste her into that song.
Speaker 19 (20:33):
That's what.
Speaker 20 (20:34):
That's really what like mystified me about songwriting, was like,
that song had nothing to do with my story, but
I was able to copy and paste my story into
it and still be affected by it. So I was like,
that's the real wizardry, not just rhyming words, and it's
being able to affect somebody's heart so much that they
see themselves in the song. So I've been trying to
(20:56):
pay that feeling forward ever since. And that's what I
moved to Ashville Ford to find because that wasn't on
career day.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, but I don't think they talk about boxing or
the performing but scientists the other day.
Speaker 20 (21:10):
Yeah, So they had that on career day. So I
was like, I'm going to be a nerd because I'm
good at being a nerd. And so I went to
MTSU and that kind of kept me out of my
hometown but kept me Nashville adjacent, and that's how I
kind of got into the songwriting realm. And then I
worked as a scientist for years from Mars the Food
Company and R and D. And then one day I
(21:32):
literally just let I couldn't stop writing songs, and I
just quit the job to go write songs for nobody
for no money. And I went and bartended and waited
tables until this guy at BMG Publishing named Chris Oglesby
heard one of my weird songs and signed me on
the spot. That was seven years ago, and here I am.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I'm sensing a theme here that you could almost make
like a boxing, scientific, and performing type show.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You can like really comp'm the three into one.
Speaker 19 (22:01):
We'll come to the show and you'll see that exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 19 (22:05):
I love that there.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You have a first CMA nomination, which is really cool.
Are you super stoked?
Speaker 20 (22:11):
Well, yeah, yeah, I did not expect that to happen.
I never sang a song in my life until ten
years ago. I wanted other people to sing my songs.
I didn't think I'd be the one singing them. So
my dreams kind of out dreamt me on that one
I'm just trying to keep up with them.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Well, I'm going to use that moving forward dreams out
dreamt me because that means you're doing something right. So Steven,
congratulations on the nomination and thanks for being here.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Great to hear your story in a very quick amount
of time.
Speaker 19 (22:40):
I don't know, Hope, I tried to keep it short.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You did great.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Great broadcasting from the fifty ninth annual CMAT will work.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, Yeah, that was it? Yeah, Vincent Mason, are
we old pittsy good Vincent Mason. They told us you
have a whole two minutes. What can we talk about
in two minutes? It's very interesting?
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Oh man, Uh we put on our first album. Okay,
that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 17 (23:09):
For it depends on you ask I guess a lot
of people probably wouldn't care, so that might not be
the best.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Uh well, hopefully everybody cares.
Speaker 17 (23:15):
Well I mean yeah, I mean hopefully, but you can't
get everybody to care.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
But there are a few people in this world that
are really they're jazzed.
Speaker 18 (23:21):
Up about it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Hopefully your friend's family, yeahs, yeah, a couple three or four,
three or four people are waiting for it, and maybe
some of your teachers from back of the day that
said that you aren't going to make it in the life.
You know, yeah, right, if you have any teachers like that,
and this guy's gonna suck, it's an.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
Awful thing to say to somebody.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Teacher, Man, yeah you made it. Yeah, doctor Evans. You
know he's my pre colts in high school. And let's
just say I kind of gave up that last semester
and and he says, is on the final I just
wrote my name on it even answer one question, just
turned it in and he was like, man, I really
wish I could be a fly on the wall off
your first college class room, like basically saying you're gonna crushed. Right.
Speaker 10 (24:06):
So I didn't graduate either.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
There you go.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
OK.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
My parents before I went to college, they sat me down.
They said, you know, college didn't for everyone. You can
just work after high school. You don't have to go
to college. And I'm like, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Did your parents have a similar conversation with you or No?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
No, no, they wanted me to go.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
I went.
Speaker 17 (24:23):
I went for a bit, and then I started writing songs,
and then I just and I stopped going.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Gradually just stopped going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So you didn't just like immediately drop out. It was like, oh,
I missed this class, and then missed two classes, and
then eventually.
Speaker 17 (24:36):
Yeah, I went to a miss wrote my first song there,
moved to Nashville, I went to Lipscomb Music School for
a little bit, and I was just trying to get
a publishing deal the whole time. So eventually I just
started going to write songs and I just stopped going
to school.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And so did you always know you wanted to do this?
Is this the dream the goal?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
No?
Speaker 17 (24:52):
I don't think if you asked anybody that knew me
in my early life that nobody would have said I
would be doing this.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
But I didn't even know. I didn't ever play or
sing for anybody until I was nineteen or twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So this is all new. You're gonna like a completely
new season of.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're for two years in though, So okay.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Does it feel weird? Are you like, oh, this is
real and this is my life? Are you having It's.
Speaker 17 (25:14):
Just like, it's been so busy this year that I
haven't even thought about it, But lately, in the last
few weeks, I'm kind.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Of like, this is pretty it's pretty great. Yeah, you
gotta do is make records and play songs.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I mean, how hard is that? You're talking about.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Doctor Evans and here and there and then that's only doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I don't know if he's still with us, but you know,
he was kind of older than so. But if he's not, so,
if he is with us, you know, but if not,
hopefully he's looking down me like dang, that dude did
make it.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, well, Box His talent is to like remember names
of every single person he's ever met in his life.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Everyone that's wrong to you this?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No, I canna mean my teachers from kindergarten all the
way through.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Man, I know, yeah, do you have any crazy talents
like that? Is there anything that people will be like, wait,
Vincent Mason also do this?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You know what I can do.
Speaker 17 (25:55):
I've got a real finger on the pulse of where
a bathroom would be in a public place.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Okay, you know at a restaurant.
Speaker 17 (26:01):
You're at a restaurant for the first time. I can
I can just locate the bathroom. I don't have to
ever ask anybody.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
And I really pride myself on that.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's impressive.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Actually, when did you discover this talent?
Speaker 17 (26:11):
I guess really clicked for me that it was a talent.
In the last couple of years, I just drifted off.
And it's really I really am pissed off if I
have to ask. It's like an internal pride thing that
I like to just go find it.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So, I mean, this is the most interesting thing I've
heard all day. And we got that all done in
two minutes.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
That's a talent that I got. Man, But we remember
your teachers.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I can find the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
You guys are the best duo there's ever been in
country music. We need to ask you really quick. Thanksgiving
us coming up. What are you not thankful for?
Speaker 17 (26:43):
Oh gosh, because we know you're grateful for a bunch
of stuff you have.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
You've had a.
Speaker 17 (26:49):
Yam not thankful for Southwest. Don't like Southwest?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Okay, I've been having some bad experiences there.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
I wish it was some.
Speaker 17 (26:58):
It was a lot so Southwest. If you're listening, change
it up, change it up. Go ahead and change that
boarding process.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
We're all done with.
Speaker 17 (27:08):
The open seating doesn't need to happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Thanks Vincent. It's good to be all right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC HAD eight seven
Central broadcasting from the fifty ninth Annual CMA Awards.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's your last stop, I think so. Oh, we've been
talking lots today talking. Oh okay, Gavin ikog with me. Gavin,
your shows are so fun and rowdy. Why tell me
where this like began? And You're like, I want to
(27:45):
have rowdy shows.
Speaker 16 (27:47):
Well, I've been to a handful of shows growing up,
and whether it was just like stand behind the mic
and listen to some nice soft country music, or been
to a couple of rock shows and different things. I
just wanted to be on the wilder side of things,
and I wanted my fans to have energy and sing
along to every song, and.
Speaker 21 (28:08):
Me making the songs I make.
Speaker 16 (28:10):
I guess it resonates with people that like to drink
and have a good time, and they they bring all
the energy, you know, So I just go out there
and sing the songs, and it's up to them how
crazy they want to make it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Could you ever see now with your shows, if people
were sitting at your show, would that be a weird
experience for you?
Speaker 18 (28:27):
No.
Speaker 16 (28:27):
I was playing the radio show in Charlotte a couple
days ago, and it was a seated venue and it
was just acoustic guitars and I had them all standing
up by about the third song.
Speaker 21 (28:38):
I was like, get up, we ain't doing this. I
can't do it okay.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So do you like it to be more that way
or is it like it is there a part of
you that where it's like uncomfortable if everybody's just sitting
and you're like, I don't want to be the only
one having a good time here.
Speaker 16 (28:54):
I'm more nervous when there's less people and they're they're
being quiet, Like I'd rather be a stadium full of
people screaming and going crazy. I'm less nervous with that.
Then then I was at Georgia Southern and I started
making music and they had like a women's football event
that was a fundraiser where all the coaches, wives and
people came around and all the women dressed up and
(29:16):
got to go out there and run football drills and
they were all sitting there with their legs cross and
I played three acoustic songs, And to this day, that's
the most nervous I've ever.
Speaker 21 (29:24):
Been playing a show that was about forty women that.
Speaker 19 (29:27):
Was as nervous as well.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Were like after really never again, we gotta go, we
gotta do something else got the change, okay, and with
that rowdiness, it's super crazy. But the show where somebody
ran on your stage was my hometown.
Speaker 21 (29:41):
Which a yeah, heck yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And my sister and brother in law were on that show.
Speaker 21 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (29:47):
My security guard he knew what he was getting into
when he started seeing the shows. I waited too long
to have security, but when we finally got it, uh, he.
Speaker 21 (29:58):
Was like, this is crazy. Yep. And the dud.
Speaker 16 (30:02):
The crazy part was the guy came into the show
was not doing good, like he was just like on something.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
He was already not in the space.
Speaker 16 (30:13):
But the crazy thing is he was singing along to
every single word front row and just lost it towards
the end, and it looked like he had some bad
intent coming after me and my security guard laid him
out on the stage, and it was just crazy.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Was that the first time we were like, dang, this
may have been bad that I created a routing environment.
Are you still happy that you have that?
Speaker 21 (30:33):
I wasn't worried about it. I've been in worse situations.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
It'll be speaking of. I have to ask you, because
obviously everybody seen it on social media, what's the situation
was Zach Bryan. What happened.
Speaker 16 (30:46):
Well, I got asked on a interview my opinion about him,
and I just said I didn't think he was that
good of a person from his interactions with a with
a kid after his show. And I try to treat
my fans with the most respect, even if I don't
like what they think it Sometimes they get their feelings
hurt and they have their their they're just they have
feelings too.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
So well, and you have one round stage and you're like,
that's fine, and you know.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 21 (31:09):
I'm not mad at that guy. He just he just
had a bad night.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
But uh yeah, I was playing in Oklahoma and I
woke up that morning the festival said, Hey, Zach's coming
today and he's probably gonna try to do something to
keep you from going on stage. Just I don't I
guess he just wanted to fight me, to get us
in trouble, get us risk.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Of warning that this was potentially coming.
Speaker 21 (31:28):
Oh yeah, they told me all day.
Speaker 16 (31:29):
My crew had a good level head about it and
just kept me chill about it because I mean, it
pissed me off that he came and got on stage
with Gabriella Rose and for a moment with a smaller
artist to have an opportunity for artists that size to
get on stage with her and sing their song. And
he took that time to call me out up there.
(31:51):
That was real childish and not.
Speaker 21 (31:53):
Didn't make it, probably didn't make her feel very good
about it.
Speaker 16 (31:55):
And when he showed up on the other side of
the fence and was talking bad about me and said
I'm gonna kill you and this, that and the other,
and the camera started rolling, I was like, let's see
how pissed off I can.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Make this guy.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
And you knew what you were doing.
Speaker 21 (32:10):
Yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 16 (32:11):
I told him when he walked up, I said, I'm
not fighting you, Zach, I'm about to go on stage
and play, and he just he was hoping I'd fall
into that to keep me on stage. But I went
out there and performed fifteen thousand people and they had
a blast, and I ain't worried about it.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
And you really just brushed it off your shoulder, like, yeah,
that just happened, But I got stuff to do.
Speaker 21 (32:29):
Yeah, no doubt, I ain't worried about it.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
So where does it stand now?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Is it just kind of like because that was such
a big kind of blow up moment, as are you?
Speaker 21 (32:37):
Yeah, I mean it's fine.
Speaker 16 (32:38):
I mean I think he made an ass of himself
and and I did what was right for my fans
and the people at the festival, and he probably still
can't stand me, But I really don't care what he thinks.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I love the authenticity and I love that you just
own who you are, because I think we need more
of that. It's just people being exactly who they are.
How where did that? Even? I'm from?
Speaker 16 (33:00):
And you well, I just grew up with some family
that was always their self and they were headstrong and
sometimes they they argued and raised a little hell, and
just they always taught me to treat people with respect.
Speaker 21 (33:14):
Until somebody didn't treat you with respect or and.
Speaker 16 (33:17):
Then I just and I saw a lot of artists
that have always kind of took their tail and kind
of like hid their cell from everybody, and when they
for years and years, and when they finally did do
something that was a little bit off the wall, people
gave them crap for it. And I just never wanted
to be that person. I just I never wanted to.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Not be me.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
So you're like, I'm not gonna wait five years to
show you who I am. This is just gonna be
mean time, no doubt, and enjoy the life. I love
that And I do want to know too, do you
have the everybody has that uncle that really makes an
impact on their life and some funky ways or anything
like that. Do you have that random uncle?
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Because he strike me as somebody who would.
Speaker 16 (33:56):
Yeah, I had a he was my great uncle, and
uh his name was Uncle Bubba. Got a love of
He didn't have any teeth, but I mean he was
a headstrong dude and he was crazy and uh he
definitely rubbed off of me in a in a rambunctious
way when I was a little kid.
Speaker 21 (34:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
See, everybody has you look at your life. Okay, And
last question for you, because Thanksgiving is comping up, we're
asking people what they're not thankful for.
Speaker 21 (34:27):
What I'm not thankful for.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm sure you're thankful for a lot of things, good things,
you know, good food, good people and music and all that.
Speaker 21 (34:34):
But I don't know that. I can't really wrap my
head around that one.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Just so it's like, you know, if you if you
don't like people who don't say thank you when you
open a door for him. More of it's like a
bad driver who stays in the fatling when they're going slow.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
It's those kind of things. Those are mine.
Speaker 16 (34:48):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not thankful for uh Nashville sending
out people to drive in front of the traffic to
make to make fake traffic in the evenings.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I'm pretty sure I have this conspiracy theory about traffic
that's not real, because why does it always disappear when
you get up to the point of block traffic?
Speaker 21 (35:07):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 16 (35:08):
I'm pretty sure they send out people to make traffic.
But anyhow, that's that's my that's my theory.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Yeah, apparently we're on the same rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
But yeah, it's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Thank you, thank you so much broadcasting from the fifty
ninth day and you will will work.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
It's a ball.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
So all right, Gretchen, we're approaching the holidays, yes, and
so hard hitting question about your favorite Thanksgiving part of
the meal?
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Oh goodness, like what dish? I am so ahead of you.
I just put a fifteen foot tree up in my
house yesterday.
Speaker 14 (35:41):
Oh nice, you're already You're already in Christmas?
Speaker 13 (35:44):
Yes, yeah, here, thank god you stayed with the Thanksgiving thing. Okay,
what is what was the question? My favorite favorite dish?
Speaker 8 (35:50):
Like, you know, what's your favorite thing now? Like are
you looking forward to it? Because some people are like,
you know, you only have my favorite.
Speaker 13 (35:55):
Yeah, my favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving is to
deep fry a turkey. But it's a big and it's
a lot of work and if you don't know what
you're doing, you could burn the whole place down. Yeah,
and people have Yeah, this is the biggest tip. Do
not fill the oil up to the top. You have
to account for the weight of the turkey and the oil.
That's where everybody messes up. They put a lot of
(36:17):
oil in and then when they dump the turkey and
the oil comes over the top. It's you don't need
that much oil. That's the big that's a big mistake
everybody makes. I feel like, you need a peanut oil.
That's the best peanut oil.
Speaker 14 (36:27):
So is that like a for taste?
Speaker 13 (36:29):
It's just yeah, it's the cleanest and the best, and
I yeah, I think it's the You'll get the best
crisp out of it. Okay, peanut oil.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
I feel like you need to like do a little
cooking show about this.
Speaker 13 (36:41):
Really, I don't do. I don't make turkeys and hams
that I'm really more of an Italian food maker. I'm
not doing lasagnas and stuff.
Speaker 14 (36:48):
Do you bust out any of that in the holidays?
Speaker 13 (36:50):
Sometimes we do, sometimes, especially if we're all getting together
for both. If we're going to do Thanksgiving and Christmas, nobody,
I mean it's like you just got over the leftovers
and then you're going to do the same meal again.
So sometimes we will do an Italian Thanksgiving and then
a traditional Christmas or vice versa.
Speaker 14 (37:07):
Yeah, and then what about your family?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
We're not Italian, we just love it.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You just lot Italian food?
Speaker 8 (37:12):
What about your when y'all gather, I guess I'm picturing
like you being, you know in music, But like, do
y'all ever have like jam sessions or seeing or no?
Speaker 13 (37:23):
No, like the last thing I want to do on
my holidays office Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
No.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
Usually it turns into a big just who can be
the loudest. It seems like we're the loud family and
my daughter is the only one in the family who
will not fight to be heard, and so she's the
one at the table who's just mm hmm. And then
I'll be like, did you have something to say, honey,
and she'll be like, yeah, in a minute, because right now,
you know, my favorite show is on, and that would
(37:50):
be you know, my mom and her husband screaming and
yelling at each other.
Speaker 14 (37:53):
Oh yeah, that's her form of entertainment.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
She's like, yeah, I know my favorite shows on. I'll
speak when this is over.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
So we've been asking people typically the question that you get,
especially with Thanksgiving, even though you're definitely in Christmas mode,
I'm already jealous of your fifteen foot tree.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
I keep eye.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
I know I had to have had to buy scaffolding
to put it up. I didn't know what I was.
I bit off way more than I could chew.
Speaker 14 (38:17):
Okay, did you go pick it out?
Speaker 16 (38:18):
No?
Speaker 13 (38:19):
I put it in my box online and then it
was delivered on then it was delivered on two palettes.
Speaker 14 (38:27):
Okay, I didn't know. Says there is a real tree
or a tree it's a fake tree.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Okay, but I just I guess in my mind that night,
I thought fifteen foot Yeah, it's not that big, but
it's pretty big.
Speaker 14 (38:37):
Where are you gonna store it?
Speaker 13 (38:39):
It's never coming down? Oh it's never, Yes, it's no,
it's never coming down. I'm just gonna have to have
different seasons tree. It'll have to be like the Easter
tree and then the tree and well, I'm gonna have
to be Valentine's Day is never coming down. I mean
it's literal. Christmas lights up all year long for sure.
Speaker 14 (38:56):
North of July. I just make it red, white and blue.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (39:00):
I'm glad I got the scaffolding though, because it'll take
that just to take the ornaments off of me.
Speaker 14 (39:04):
That is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
So before we jump to Christmas, we'll focus on things
seem a little more and we want to know what
you're grateful for this year, but also, in addition to that,
something you're not grateful for.
Speaker 13 (39:19):
I am not grateful for group chats.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
Oh do you leave them or do you?
Speaker 13 (39:24):
I just they just get to be Yeah. I think
it's just my age. I'm fifty two. There wasn't even
cell phones, you know, when I was young. So the
group chat thing is it's just taken. I have a few,
but sometimes they're exhausting. What am I thankful for my
reconnection to christ?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (39:44):
I love that, especially this time of year, going into
the holiday season. And what when did that reconnection happen?
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (39:52):
It's been happening for several years. I think I was
just getting in my own way, and I think I
finally had to to just open up my eyes and
realize that that it was me that was it was
my issues that was getting in the way, and I
think I try not to get too personal, but the
(40:13):
reality of it is is that I couldn't accept the forgiveness. Yeah,
I didn't think I deserved it, and it finally hit
me not too long ago, that it's not up to me.
Speaker 8 (40:24):
Well, I love that you're sharing it because so many
people can relate to that exact feeling and to hear
that you opened up and could get there, Yeah, it
gives them hope.
Speaker 13 (40:34):
And it was the silliest little thing. It was just
me being who I am. I'm a control freak and
I just thought that I knew better and that was
very silly. It's not up to me.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
Well, shoot, I would watch this TV show like we've
got cooking tips, we've got Christmas tree tips, and we've
got you know, time with the Lord.
Speaker 13 (40:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (40:52):
So yeah, well, thank you for chatting with us, and
good luck with that tree.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (40:57):
I can't wait to see it. Yeah, and you're year round,
your new tree.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
It's a new addition to you.
Speaker 13 (41:01):
I'll get pictures of it and post it, but I'll
have to wait until after Turkey Day at least.
Speaker 8 (41:05):
All right, and don't forget if you're frying your turkey,
don't fill the pot all the way up with oil
and use he not oil.
Speaker 14 (41:11):
You heard it from Gretcham Wilson.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC had eight seven Central.
Speaker 10 (41:17):
Nobody start yelling yet you roll.
Speaker 18 (41:20):
Up my sleeves. Has anyone ever been bit slapped on camera?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I mean Midland almost did it to me one time,
so but that was off camera.
Speaker 18 (41:35):
So speaking of things deserving, Okay, and.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
We are here with the newest member of the Walk
of Fame in Nashville.
Speaker 18 (41:43):
We got what some people's opinions are.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
We got somehow made, we got old the minion.
Speaker 18 (41:49):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
My question is how did how did you get on
the Walk of Fame? Money?
Speaker 9 (41:54):
We just paid for it, paid for it.
Speaker 18 (41:58):
Yeah, a lot of sexual sexual favors.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
No no, no, no no like a real question no
no like no no no no no.
Speaker 17 (42:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Real question is what is the process? Because I heard
you guys get in the Walk of Fame and I
don't know anything about the Walk of Fame, and I
was just like, wow.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
You have to be.
Speaker 18 (42:14):
Well, it seems like you're an authority on well you.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Know it's good is Google will tell you there's one
hundred and twelve members on the Walk of Fame. And
so I was just like, wow, is Old Dominion one
of the best one hundred and twelve country artists of
all times?
Speaker 18 (42:26):
It's not only country artists in the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 12 (42:29):
Yeahs out we're one of the best artists of all time.
Speaker 18 (42:34):
That we're not transcending.
Speaker 12 (42:36):
I mean I think I think it's making your mark
in music city. So I think we're something unique that
hasn't come along. We're a band that writes all the songs,
plays all the songs on the studio, built it from
the ground up.
Speaker 18 (42:47):
Yeah, Google can also tell you all of the things
that we accomplished.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
No, no, I, I I said, I even breafast it
was saying that you guys have been you you have
massive hits, lots of albums, you've you know, toured, You're huge.
But I just didn't know, like how because I'm like,
is it like the biggest of all time or is
it just you made a mark.
Speaker 13 (43:05):
Or is it.
Speaker 18 (43:05):
I didn't know, so, I mean, to be fair enough,
we don't know either.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
You have no idea, So how did you find Like,
how does it come about? They just come to you
and say, hey, we want to give you a star
on the that's it. That's it.
Speaker 18 (43:17):
Okay, somebody thought we were good enough?
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah, because and then and then I was told someone's
mom is mad at me.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Yeah I think.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Mad?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, good yeah, well,
I mean I just I just I literally when I
heard it, I was like, wow, because I guess it
feels like you guys are brand new, because when we
got here, you guys were brand new. I felt like,
but then I realized, we've been here twelve years, right,
and you guys are still getting number one hits.
Speaker 18 (43:42):
We are, Yeah, and we've been a band now for
almost twenty years, so you know, we put in some time,
and so you kind of they shoved us in the corner.
Speaker 10 (43:50):
You know, we're not on the main one.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
So I mean, how cool does it feel now that
you can you know, show her, But hey, man, I
got a start. You're gonna just go stand down there.
So when everybody comes to takes.
Speaker 18 (44:03):
A family coming into thanks for Thanksgiving. They're gonna want
to come.
Speaker 22 (44:06):
Yeah, my dad's coming here today. I'm sure we'll stop
swing by. I gotta find it on my own anyway,
because wait, wait, you don't know where it is. But
when they go to is there was like tants up
and people all around, and like I didn't have really
a concept of there was a lots covered up on
the ground, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Okay, what's the next artist? Like, I don't know if
you an artist out there now that's young that you
think you know up and coming? Who's going to be
the next walk of fame?
Speaker 10 (44:30):
I mean, who's going to be around in fifteen years?
Speaker 18 (44:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (44:34):
But is there someone you listen to now that you're like, man,
they're so good and they're going you want them to
blow up anybody? Hmm, you're not gonna give me credit? No, no, no,
we're like no, no, no, we're not doing that.
Speaker 12 (44:48):
It takes a lot of time in a body of
work until you get Yeah, I know, it's hard to
really predict everyone.
Speaker 22 (44:53):
I would say, I'm I'm assuming would already have one,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 18 (44:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Same, How do you do you still love making music
like it has the the fire still burn as.
Speaker 18 (45:05):
If we didn't, we would stop for sure. This is
the music industry and it's music is supposed to be
fun and we have a blast making it and it's
very fulfilling creating it. So if that ever goes away,
we'll find something else to do.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
How do you keep that fire? Because like some professional athletes,
they get that first big contract and like fat and happy,
no longer practicing, like hey, I'm just gonna take my
paycheck and go Yeah.
Speaker 12 (45:31):
I think it's because it's not about all that stuff.
It's not even about the awards. For us, it's not
about the money. I mean, we do it because you know,
when we were young, we picked up a guitar and
figured out how to play a song, and then we
were excited about that, and so we get in a
room and we're excited to make up a song. That's
what fuels it. So we're not doing it for all
these other things. So as long as that's always going
to be fun and inspiring, then we're gonna love doing it.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (45:55):
Okay, Well you.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Don't seem like you bought it because you guys broke
a record last year and it was huge.
Speaker 18 (46:00):
Yeah, we're a record breaking band.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
I know you guys sell records, but what record did
they set?
Speaker 3 (46:07):
Tell me they won the Group of the Year for
seven years in a row, seven consecutive years in a.
Speaker 18 (46:12):
Row, the most consecutive of anyone.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
But you know why I think that is. I think
other people up and coming they're like, man, we're never
gonna win that, so I'm gonna go solo, you know
what I mean. Like Florida Georgia line. Florida George's line
is like, man.
Speaker 18 (46:22):
Why would they We're never gonna win it?
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Because you guys are good? Yeah right, yeah, because you
because you guys are have a stranglehold over that that
that thing, and so they're like, you know what, how
does that happen? I'm gonna say a lot of hard work,
a lot of like fire in your belly. It's creative.
You love making music, you know, like when you're you're
doing good, when you pick up a guitar for the
first time, when you hear that note, you're like, man,
I'm starting to get this, and then here we are
(46:47):
twenty years later.
Speaker 18 (46:48):
Do what you're doing.
Speaker 13 (46:48):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Oh, what was your question? Did you have a question?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
I just don't really want to disturb the.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I mean, yeah, okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 10 (46:59):
We're all titled our opinion.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, well see here's the day. Here's a great thing
about my opinion is I don't know anything about music.
Speaker 18 (47:05):
But I mean, you know, as you like it or not,
and that's all. That's all that really, that's the most
important thing about music. There's we make music. It's not
for everyone.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
We know that.
Speaker 18 (47:15):
And we've had haters before and we will have them again.
Not that you're a hater. I was gonna say I didn't,
not that you're a hater, but you know, we've we've
certainly dealt with people saying, you know, we're not country,
or we're not this, or we're not that. You know,
we got turned down for every by every record label
that there is because we were too old, or we
(47:35):
were just songwriters or whatever. So those are the types
of things like and I'm I'm being hard on you, but.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
I'm not just trusting me. I'm laughing along with you.
Speaker 18 (47:43):
It's great, yeah, but but those are the things you
can't please everyone.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
I mean, that's why I was glad I was here,
is because I was worried because we were doing our
show this morning. Now, I was like, old Dominion is
going to be there, guys, I have got to get
there before old Dominion comes to our booth, because you
know what I mean, like some people, you know, they
wouldn't want to see here. That's why I told Morgan
to sit on the sidelines. I was like, I'm doing
this by myself, but I want to talk. That's what's fun.
(48:08):
Like I mean, I said it, I put it on Instagram,
I said it on the National radio show. So I
want to I want to go and then and then
I go. Man, I don't even know if they saw
it because they didn't comment or anything.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
We commented on it.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
You did not publicly. Man, I gotta say thank you
for stopping by. And you know, it is Thanksgiving, so
we are thankful for a lot of things. I don't
care what you're thankful for. What are you not thankful for?

Speaker 5 (00:38):

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh is that what that means? Yeah, you don't need balance?
Come on now, who needs balance?
Speaker 5 (00:44):

Speaker 1 (00:49):

Speaker 2 (00:51):
She's gonna make you do something later where you bump
booties or something.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
Oh perfect, I love bumping booty. Everybody likes have fun.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I agree. I didn't say it was bad. I was
just telling you that what's going on Laurda Lane? I
mean a lot of shades. Is the last time I
saw you?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You know, you like got married, birtha child, and birtha baby?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah? Like, is that not just the craziest thing ever, It's.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
The most incredible thing of my life. Yes, I cannot believe.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
I did that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Did you go epidural or no epidural.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
I got an epidural at eight centimeters went all the
wo Wait, so.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
Were you leaning on like being totally natural.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I was planning on being natural, but I ended up
having to be induced.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I went twelve days past my due date.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I was ama fest I saw you ten days past
my due date, trying to get the baby to start,
you know, making some moves.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
She did not want to come out. She was baking
up in there.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
She was very comfy, and so I once I got induced,
I progressed so quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I was like, okay, yeah, see because my wife, she
had planned to go all natural, you know what I mean,
and her water breaks and we're in there and she's
like puking because of the page. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
When I started puking, I was like, give me that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That is exactly what she did. She goes, give me
the trash, can give me the trash? Can I need that?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Give me that?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Okay, so but I need to know from there. That
was the moment that it's like I'm cracking up.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That is like, when I started puking, I was like okay.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And then here's what's funny of the third one, Like
she started having pain. She's like, all right, I need
that epidural. By the time they could even get the
thing in her back, the baby's already.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
That's pretty much what happened to me because I progressed
so quickly. I don't know what was going on. My
body would just not like my cervix wouldn't dilate. And
once they helped my service dilate, shoom, I mean so fast,
like within like three hours, I was dilated.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
To man, that is right. And we had one of
those overnight ones, like we were up all night, you
know what I mean. It was so miserable on the
phone with our parents. Oh yeah, get a play and
it's coming, the baby's coming. And I had just gotten
back from a three day bender in Vegas. I mean
it was just like, oh my god, I was I
was showing to I was like falling asleep during labor,
(03:07):
you know what I mean. My wife's I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Once that epidural hit, I was like, sure, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Okay, but I need to know from a woman's perspective,
because you always hear moms and like, it was the
most beautiful experience in my life. But was it or
were you, like, holy crap, I can't believe I did that.
And that was crazy that that even happened.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
It both probably a little bit of both. I mean
it was pretty intense. It's a very intense situation. But
when they handed that baby to me, I can't even
explain it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You've you I've experienced it. And let me tell you
we we didn't find out that. I don't know about yours,
but we didn't find out the gender till it was born.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And so also the level of surprise, Oh.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
My gosh, let me tell you. And the doctor like
holds it up and my wife's like, what is it?
And I'm not even thinking general it's a baby. She goes, oh,
is it a boy or girl?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I can say this moment.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I was like, oh, it's a boy, and you
know what I mean. And then you just got to
go crazy and you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Just have the one.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I got three boys, three boys.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
The first one is it was it different for the other.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Two because we didn't find out the gender for all three,
and so all three.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
That next I could not do it the first time,
but I want to do that next.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'll tell you it is such a cool thing because
in every every appointment you go to, like the ultra
sound everything. The first thing I would say them, we
don't know the gender, we don't want to know, do
not tell it. I would make sure. Oh, I would
scream it because I was like one of these idiots,
Oh look at this little or yeah, or she's doing
so good down there, you know what I mean. You
(04:43):
can say, Okay, that's amazing, amazing, it was great, It
was great. Yeah, it's great to.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
See you, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I mean, that's before lunch making on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
This is exciting to talk about when you become this
stage of your life, this what do they call it season?
Speaker 9 (05:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Uh, it's like that's you want to talk about it?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
That's all I think about exactly. I'm like, I do
love music too, but have you seen my daughter?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But that's what I was going to ask you, actually,
because it's always fun to listen to the moms after
because like their life changes so much, so like life
for you, now.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
What is it going to look like?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So I'm figuring out how to kind of balance everything
because obviously the number one priority in my life now
is her, So just kind of balancing all of that.
But she goes on the road with me. So when
I'm on the bus, she goes with me. She sleeps
like a champ on the bus. I think it's because
I toured the whole time I was pregnant.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
I think she's used to.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And she probably likes your music because you played it
a lot when she's better.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
If I can't have if I can't count on her, I'm.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Really ticked, like, please please let her lie. But we're
going out on the tour with Rascal Flights in January,
so that'll be good. My mom goes with me right
now to help out, which is kind of crazy full
circle because when I started this career after American Idol,
I was sixteen.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
So my mom went on the bus with me.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Oh my gosh, she's taking a bus back on the bus,
and she has.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A new title. She's no longer mom, she's grandma.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Do you call her grandma or so my mom became
a grandma forty My brother had a baby, well, his
wife had a baby young.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
They were young and up my hometown, and so she's.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Sassy, sassy.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
My mother is sass sassy before I love.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
She has four grandchildren, well now she has six, but
she my brother had four, and then I have a
step sibling that has a baby a week younger than
my daughter.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, trying to steal the spotlight. That's not cool. Come on, man,
let Laura and Lenea have that. You know what I'm saying,
Like it's her time to be pregnant. Come on?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh is well Laura balancing it on.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I'm very proud of that, and I want to show
her she's a little girl. I want to show her
you can do both. And I was really worried about
that though, Like I was like, what's this, What's this
going to mean for my career? And it's the biggest
joke ever because I just figured it out.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
You just figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's what people always say. It's like, I don't know
if we're ready for a baby. Guess what, You're never
You're never ready, like you.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's like every day.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
I wake up and there's a new challenge that I
have to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
And I'm like, I could have done this five years ago,
except I would have had an ex boyfriend doing it
with me. They all sucks I wanted to do with
my husband.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's someone getting to talk with you. You're amazing, and
we're excited for you in this whole new chelt Wait
before you go.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Though, it's Thanksgiving and we know what you're thankful for
all that, But what are you not grateful for? Not
thankful for, not thankful.
Speaker 11 (07:53):
For drivers, not thank before the breast pump?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh gosh, that's a rough thing.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
But I'm thankful for it, but also.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Not It's that's tough.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Therumping is I pumped on the way here.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Let me tell you one time we were in Vegas
and my wife was pumping at the blackjack table, like
I mean, she had pump everywhere.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I'm just gonna tell you, if you see me in public,
there's a fifty chance I'm pumping.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah. And the pumps have gotten so nice now that
you know, you cannot even.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Notice that you get more milk.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I feel like you can perform on stage and nobody
would know you could just be pumping, and that one
happened on stage.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I've lost since. Somebody's some help, Send help immediately.

Six, broadcasting from the fifty ninth Annual works.
Speaker 14 (14:01):
He didn't feel that right earlier.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Maybe they turned some stuff. Maybe I think some stuff
some lights. I think some lights got turned up. Okay,
all right, Dustin Lynch, we're going to talk about thet
We're going to talk about the holidays, because well, we've
been asking people what they're ungrateful for, and that feels
(14:25):
a little negative.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I do realize that what are the answers to that?
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Oh well, so, for example, Cody Johnson has a situation
with his ear drum that's been quite painful, so he's
not grateful for that. Riley Green could not come up
with anything. He was like, uh yeah, he was sort
of like, uh, you know. I gave him an example
of like, well disease, and he's like, he said, it
(14:52):
has to be specific to you as a person.
Speaker 15 (14:55):
So I'm ungrateful for a big buck that didn't walk
out last week when I was hunting about that.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Oh so you got to shoot nothing?
Speaker 9 (15:02):
No, that's awesome, though.
Speaker 14 (15:05):
My nose is running.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
Okay, it's that.
Speaker 14 (15:07):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I have been sick scuba.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Sorry, I'm pausing real quick because I felt my nose
running the interview.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
No, he said it.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And then Dustin goes, Dustin was really kind. He goes,
it's okay, it's that time of year, like he saw
it the whole time.
Speaker 14 (15:26):
But it's like, no, I can't feel it.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
No, I couldn't feel it.
Speaker 14 (15:31):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Okay, let's get it rolling. So I'm not grateful for that, Yeah,
my nose running.
Speaker 14 (15:36):
So now you go.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
So now you get to go.
Speaker 9 (15:41):
I just told you I'm not grateful for the the.
Speaker 14 (15:43):
Blood I'm starting over, I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Yeah, okay, so the book I'm not. I could I
could see how that's frustrating. You set out to go
hunting and then you catch nothing. Okay, Let's fast forward
to the food part of Thanksgiving, because we've been asking
people they're the dish they're most looking.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
Forward to, most looking forward to.
Speaker 15 (16:03):
I go, I go lean amine all like the starches,
so the potatoes, all that I kind of skip skip
around because it leaves more room in the belly for desserts. Okay,
So I like to get all my protein and all
that fun stuff in. I love the Ocean Spray cranberry
cann sauce more than the real deal stuff.
Speaker 14 (16:19):
Are you endorsed by Ocean Spray?
Speaker 16 (16:20):
No?
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Okay, it was just sure because I was like, wow,
that was very specific.
Speaker 15 (16:24):
I realize I'm talking all around my answer. I still
haven't given you my answer. I leave room for desserts. Okay,
so I'll do like five different desserts on one plate.
My Well, now I need you to pick your favorite dessert.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Set tooth problem.
Speaker 14 (16:36):
You have to pick one. You get one dessert.
Speaker 15 (16:39):
Mom's pecan pie okay, yeah, which is essentially what just
butter and sugar.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Well, I don't know does she have a good recipe
because I might need to get it. I'm in charge
of bringing pa compie to the Thanksgiving this year and
I've never made one.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
I used to hate it. I love it.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
No, Yeah, it must be like a like a you know,
with age, you know, we start to like things we
didn't like when we were kids. But I might need
to get your mom's recipe.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Okay, I can find that.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Feel like I still remember the time that your parents
came on the bobby bone show.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
Yes, that was so fun. Awkward?
Speaker 14 (17:05):
Why why awkward?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
They're so nervous around cameras.
Speaker 14 (17:09):
But they did a great job.
Speaker 15 (17:10):
They did fine. But if you knew mom and dad
off of camera, you'd be like, oh, that's not.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
The same people.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (17:15):
So is that who you're going to be spending Thanksgiving with?
Speaker 13 (17:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (17:17):
Yeah, so okay the past handful of years they come
up and we do it at my farm outside of Nashville.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Okay, so I.
Speaker 15 (17:22):
Have mom, dad, sister, brother in law, and the two
kids Nie said, nephew, and then any friends that don't
have a home.
Speaker 17 (17:29):
Tone.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
So you're the host house. Okay, so do you cook?
Speaker 15 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, I'll help out. Oh yeah, but me and
the brother in law are kind of man of the grills.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Okay, and then of course the girls are like get
out of our way in the kitchen when they're they're
doing all the bake stuff the thing.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Cody Johnson had a good question before we wrap, So
I'm going to ask it to you.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
But he said hammer turkey.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Oh ham, Oh he said ham too.
Speaker 15 (17:52):
Yeah, I would much rather. I think the turkey we
just put up with. It's like there's not a whole
lot of flavor. Here give me the honey Baked Tam
all day.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Honey Baked Tam all Day, and then Ocean Spray Cranberries,
the camp out of the camp.
Speaker 18 (18:05):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC tonight had eight
seven Central.
Speaker 19 (18:11):
Get over there, Hello, check one too.
Speaker 18 (18:14):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, Morgan here at the CMA Award remotes with Stephen
Wilson Junior.
Speaker 19 (18:22):
How are you good, Morgan? How are you good?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I was just reading a really quick portfolio of you,
and You've lived like eighty lives. You've done a whole
bunch of things. You were a boxer, you're an R
and D scientist, You've done all these wild things. What
brought you into music from all of that?
Speaker 20 (18:40):
Well, yeah, my music career is like a culmination of
all those lives.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (18:46):
My first stage was a boxing ring. I started fighting
around age seven. My dad was a fighter, so we
would open up the adult fights. So I've been an
opener for a long time. Boxing cards are a lot
like show cards, you know, as openers, and then there's
the big headliner. So I've been kind of a showman.
But I was always really quiet as a kid. I
(19:07):
never really talked like the first twenty years of my life.
But I had no problem fighting another dude in the ring.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, there's not a lot of talking that goes into fighting.
Speaker 20 (19:17):
Yeah yeah, unless you're trash talking. Yeah, but yeah, so
you go up there and let your hands do the talking.
And that's so that's what I did. That was my
first stage, and that's where I kind of learned to
enjoy and perhaps.
Speaker 19 (19:32):
Get it.
Speaker 20 (19:33):
I don't like to use the word addicted, but I
think I think my dad was too. My dad was
a real showman in the ring, and uh so, like
you kind of get addicted.
Speaker 19 (19:42):
To the roar of a crowd, even for a quiet,
shy kid.
Speaker 20 (19:45):
And and then I just went and you know, I
grew up in a real small town and I was
either going to stay in that town or get out.
And I was a really nerdy science kid, so I
went and got a science degree at MTSU. But I
was always obsessed with songwriting. This song Don't Take the
Girl kind of changed my made a mess out of
(20:06):
me on a school bus when I was a kid,
and I had.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
To for you, like going through a heartbreak or like
going through love.
Speaker 19 (20:11):
At the time, No, it was like, honestly, what was
really weird.
Speaker 20 (20:15):
Is like, like my mama, you know, kind of had
a bunch of issues. She was married to some really
dangerous She's married to a really dangerous man at the
time my parents split up, and I was really scared
for her life. And I was able to copy and
paste her into that song.
Speaker 19 (20:33):
That's what.
Speaker 20 (20:34):
That's really what like mystified me about songwriting, was like,
that song had nothing to do with my story, but
I was able to copy and paste my story into
it and still be affected by it. So I was like,
that's the real wizardry, not just rhyming words, and it's
being able to affect somebody's heart so much that they
see themselves in the song. So I've been trying to
(20:56):
pay that feeling forward ever since. And that's what I
moved to Ashville Ford to find because that wasn't on
career day.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, but I don't think they talk about boxing or
the performing but scientists the other day.
Speaker 20 (21:10):
Yeah, So they had that on career day. So I
was like, I'm going to be a nerd because I'm
good at being a nerd. And so I went to
MTSU and that kind of kept me out of my
hometown but kept me Nashville adjacent, and that's how I
kind of got into the songwriting realm. And then I
worked as a scientist for years from Mars the Food
Company and R and D. And then one day I
(21:32):
literally just let I couldn't stop writing songs, and I
just quit the job to go write songs for nobody
for no money. And I went and bartended and waited
tables until this guy at BMG Publishing named Chris Oglesby
heard one of my weird songs and signed me on
the spot. That was seven years ago, and here I am.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I'm sensing a theme here that you could almost make
like a boxing, scientific, and performing type show.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You can like really comp'm the three into one.
Speaker 19 (22:01):
We'll come to the show and you'll see that exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 19 (22:05):
I love that there.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You have a first CMA nomination, which is really cool.
Are you super stoked?
Speaker 20 (22:11):
Well, yeah, yeah, I did not expect that to happen.
I never sang a song in my life until ten
years ago. I wanted other people to sing my songs.
I didn't think I'd be the one singing them. So
my dreams kind of out dreamt me on that one
I'm just trying to keep up with them.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Now.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Well, I'm going to use that moving forward dreams out
dreamt me because that means you're doing something right. So Steven,
congratulations on the nomination and thanks for being here.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Great to hear your story in a very quick amount
of time.
Speaker 19 (22:40):
I don't know, Hope, I tried to keep it short.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
You did great.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Great broadcasting from the fifty ninth annual CMAT will work.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, Yeah, that was it? Yeah, Vincent Mason, are
we old pittsy good Vincent Mason. They told us you
have a whole two minutes. What can we talk about
in two minutes? It's very interesting?
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Oh man, Uh we put on our first album. Okay,
that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 17 (23:09):
For it depends on you ask I guess a lot
of people probably wouldn't care, so that might not be
the best.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Uh well, hopefully everybody cares.
Speaker 17 (23:15):
Well I mean yeah, I mean hopefully, but you can't
get everybody to care.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
But there are a few people in this world that
are really they're jazzed.
Speaker 18 (23:21):
Up about it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Hopefully your friend's family, yeahs, yeah, a couple three or four,
three or four people are waiting for it, and maybe
some of your teachers from back of the day that
said that you aren't going to make it in the life.
You know, yeah, right, if you have any teachers like that,
and this guy's gonna suck, it's an.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
Awful thing to say to somebody.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Teacher, Man, yeah you made it. Yeah, doctor Evans. You
know he's my pre colts in high school. And let's
just say I kind of gave up that last semester
and and he says, is on the final I just
wrote my name on it even answer one question, just
turned it in and he was like, man, I really
wish I could be a fly on the wall off
your first college class room, like basically saying you're gonna crushed. Right.
Speaker 10 (24:06):
So I didn't graduate either.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
There you go.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
OK.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
My parents before I went to college, they sat me down.
They said, you know, college didn't for everyone. You can
just work after high school. You don't have to go
to college. And I'm like, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Did your parents have a similar conversation with you or No?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
No, no, they wanted me to go.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
I went.
Speaker 17 (24:23):
I went for a bit, and then I started writing songs,
and then I just and I stopped going.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Gradually just stopped going.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So you didn't just like immediately drop out. It was like, oh,
I missed this class, and then missed two classes, and
then eventually.
Speaker 17 (24:36):
Yeah, I went to a miss wrote my first song there,
moved to Nashville, I went to Lipscomb Music School for
a little bit, and I was just trying to get
a publishing deal the whole time. So eventually I just
started going to write songs and I just stopped going
to school.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And so did you always know you wanted to do this?
Is this the dream the goal?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
No?
Speaker 17 (24:52):
I don't think if you asked anybody that knew me
in my early life that nobody would have said I
would be doing this.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
But I didn't even know. I didn't ever play or
sing for anybody until I was nineteen or twenty.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So this is all new. You're gonna like a completely
new season of.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're for two years in though, So okay.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Does it feel weird? Are you like, oh, this is
real and this is my life? Are you having It's.
Speaker 17 (25:14):
Just like, it's been so busy this year that I
haven't even thought about it, But lately, in the last
few weeks, I'm kind.
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Of like, this is pretty it's pretty great. Yeah, you
gotta do is make records and play songs.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I mean, how hard is that? You're talking about.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Doctor Evans and here and there and then that's only doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I don't know if he's still with us, but you know,
he was kind of older than so. But if he's not, so,
if he is with us, you know, but if not,
hopefully he's looking down me like dang, that dude did
make it.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, well, Box His talent is to like remember names
of every single person he's ever met in his life.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Everyone that's wrong to you this?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No, I canna mean my teachers from kindergarten all the
way through.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Man, I know, yeah, do you have any crazy talents
like that? Is there anything that people will be like, wait,
Vincent Mason also do this?
Speaker 10 (25:53):
You know what I can do.
Speaker 17 (25:55):
I've got a real finger on the pulse of where
a bathroom would be in a public place.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Okay, you know at a restaurant.
Speaker 17 (26:01):
You're at a restaurant for the first time. I can
I can just locate the bathroom. I don't have to
ever ask anybody.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
And I really pride myself on that.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's impressive.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Actually, when did you discover this talent?
Speaker 17 (26:11):
I guess really clicked for me that it was a talent.
In the last couple of years, I just drifted off.
And it's really I really am pissed off if I
have to ask. It's like an internal pride thing that
I like to just go find it.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So, I mean, this is the most interesting thing I've
heard all day. And we got that all done in
two minutes.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
That's a talent that I got. Man, But we remember
your teachers.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I can find the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
You guys are the best duo there's ever been in
country music. We need to ask you really quick. Thanksgiving
us coming up. What are you not thankful for?
Speaker 17 (26:43):
Oh gosh, because we know you're grateful for a bunch
of stuff you have.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
You've had a.
Speaker 17 (26:49):
Yam not thankful for Southwest. Don't like Southwest?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Okay, I've been having some bad experiences there.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
I wish it was some.
Speaker 17 (26:58):
It was a lot so Southwest. If you're listening, change
it up, change it up. Go ahead and change that
boarding process.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
We're all done with.
Speaker 17 (27:08):
The open seating doesn't need to happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Thanks Vincent. It's good to be all right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC HAD eight seven
Central broadcasting from the fifty ninth Annual CMA Awards.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's your last stop, I think so. Oh, we've been
talking lots today talking. Oh okay, Gavin ikog with me. Gavin,
your shows are so fun and rowdy. Why tell me
where this like began? And You're like, I want to
(27:45):
have rowdy shows.
Speaker 16 (27:47):
Well, I've been to a handful of shows growing up,
and whether it was just like stand behind the mic
and listen to some nice soft country music, or been
to a couple of rock shows and different things. I
just wanted to be on the wilder side of things,
and I wanted my fans to have energy and sing
along to every song, and.
Speaker 21 (28:08):
Me making the songs I make.
Speaker 16 (28:10):
I guess it resonates with people that like to drink
and have a good time, and they they bring all
the energy, you know, So I just go out there
and sing the songs, and it's up to them how
crazy they want to make it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Could you ever see now with your shows, if people
were sitting at your show, would that be a weird
experience for you?
Speaker 18 (28:27):
No.
Speaker 16 (28:27):
I was playing the radio show in Charlotte a couple
days ago, and it was a seated venue and it
was just acoustic guitars and I had them all standing
up by about the third song.
Speaker 21 (28:38):
I was like, get up, we ain't doing this. I
can't do it okay.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
So do you like it to be more that way
or is it like it is there a part of
you that where it's like uncomfortable if everybody's just sitting
and you're like, I don't want to be the only
one having a good time here.
Speaker 16 (28:54):
I'm more nervous when there's less people and they're they're
being quiet, Like I'd rather be a stadium full of
people screaming and going crazy. I'm less nervous with that.
Then then I was at Georgia Southern and I started
making music and they had like a women's football event
that was a fundraiser where all the coaches, wives and
people came around and all the women dressed up and
(29:16):
got to go out there and run football drills and
they were all sitting there with their legs cross and
I played three acoustic songs, And to this day, that's
the most nervous I've ever.
Speaker 21 (29:24):
Been playing a show that was about forty women that.
Speaker 19 (29:27):
Was as nervous as well.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Were like after really never again, we gotta go, we
gotta do something else got the change, okay, and with
that rowdiness, it's super crazy. But the show where somebody
ran on your stage was my hometown.
Speaker 21 (29:41):
Which a yeah, heck yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
And my sister and brother in law were on that show.
Speaker 21 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (29:47):
My security guard he knew what he was getting into
when he started seeing the shows. I waited too long
to have security, but when we finally got it, uh, he.
Speaker 21 (29:58):
Was like, this is crazy. Yep. And the dud.
Speaker 16 (30:02):
The crazy part was the guy came into the show
was not doing good, like he was just like on something.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
He was already not in the space.
Speaker 16 (30:13):
But the crazy thing is he was singing along to
every single word front row and just lost it towards
the end, and it looked like he had some bad
intent coming after me and my security guard laid him
out on the stage, and it was just crazy.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Was that the first time we were like, dang, this
may have been bad that I created a routing environment.
Are you still happy that you have that?
Speaker 21 (30:33):
I wasn't worried about it. I've been in worse situations.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
It'll be speaking of. I have to ask you, because
obviously everybody seen it on social media, what's the situation
was Zach Bryan. What happened.
Speaker 16 (30:46):
Well, I got asked on a interview my opinion about him,
and I just said I didn't think he was that
good of a person from his interactions with a with
a kid after his show. And I try to treat
my fans with the most respect, even if I don't
like what they think it Sometimes they get their feelings
hurt and they have their their they're just they have
feelings too.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
So well, and you have one round stage and you're like,
that's fine, and you know.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 21 (31:09):
I'm not mad at that guy. He just he just
had a bad night.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
But uh yeah, I was playing in Oklahoma and I
woke up that morning the festival said, Hey, Zach's coming
today and he's probably gonna try to do something to
keep you from going on stage. Just I don't I
guess he just wanted to fight me, to get us
in trouble, get us risk.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Of warning that this was potentially coming.
Speaker 21 (31:28):
Oh yeah, they told me all day.
Speaker 16 (31:29):
My crew had a good level head about it and
just kept me chill about it because I mean, it
pissed me off that he came and got on stage
with Gabriella Rose and for a moment with a smaller
artist to have an opportunity for artists that size to
get on stage with her and sing their song. And
he took that time to call me out up there.
(31:51):
That was real childish and not.
Speaker 21 (31:53):
Didn't make it, probably didn't make her feel very good
about it.
Speaker 16 (31:55):
And when he showed up on the other side of
the fence and was talking bad about me and said
I'm gonna kill you and this, that and the other,
and the camera started rolling, I was like, let's see
how pissed off I can.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Make this guy.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
And you knew what you were doing.
Speaker 21 (32:10):
Yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 16 (32:11):
I told him when he walked up, I said, I'm
not fighting you, Zach, I'm about to go on stage
and play, and he just he was hoping I'd fall
into that to keep me on stage. But I went
out there and performed fifteen thousand people and they had
a blast, and I ain't worried about it.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
And you really just brushed it off your shoulder, like, yeah,
that just happened, But I got stuff to do.
Speaker 21 (32:29):
Yeah, no doubt, I ain't worried about it.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
So where does it stand now?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Is it just kind of like because that was such
a big kind of blow up moment, as are you?
Speaker 21 (32:37):
Yeah, I mean it's fine.
Speaker 16 (32:38):
I mean I think he made an ass of himself
and and I did what was right for my fans
and the people at the festival, and he probably still
can't stand me, But I really don't care what he thinks.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I love the authenticity and I love that you just
own who you are, because I think we need more
of that. It's just people being exactly who they are.
How where did that? Even? I'm from?
Speaker 16 (33:00):
And you well, I just grew up with some family
that was always their self and they were headstrong and
sometimes they they argued and raised a little hell, and
just they always taught me to treat people with respect.
Speaker 21 (33:14):
Until somebody didn't treat you with respect or and.
Speaker 16 (33:17):
Then I just and I saw a lot of artists
that have always kind of took their tail and kind
of like hid their cell from everybody, and when they
for years and years, and when they finally did do
something that was a little bit off the wall, people
gave them crap for it. And I just never wanted
to be that person. I just I never wanted to.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Not be me.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
So you're like, I'm not gonna wait five years to
show you who I am. This is just gonna be
mean time, no doubt, and enjoy the life. I love
that And I do want to know too, do you
have the everybody has that uncle that really makes an
impact on their life and some funky ways or anything
like that. Do you have that random uncle?
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Because he strike me as somebody who would.
Speaker 16 (33:56):
Yeah, I had a he was my great uncle, and
uh his name was Uncle Bubba. Got a love of
He didn't have any teeth, but I mean he was
a headstrong dude and he was crazy and uh he
definitely rubbed off of me in a in a rambunctious
way when I was a little kid.
Speaker 21 (34:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
See, everybody has you look at your life. Okay, And
last question for you, because Thanksgiving is comping up, we're
asking people what they're not thankful for.
Speaker 21 (34:27):
What I'm not thankful for.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm sure you're thankful for a lot of things, good things,
you know, good food, good people and music and all that.
Speaker 21 (34:34):
But I don't know that. I can't really wrap my
head around that one.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Just so it's like, you know, if you if you
don't like people who don't say thank you when you
open a door for him. More of it's like a
bad driver who stays in the fatling when they're going slow.
Speaker 7 (34:46):
It's those kind of things. Those are mine.
Speaker 16 (34:48):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not thankful for uh Nashville sending
out people to drive in front of the traffic to
make to make fake traffic in the evenings.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I'm pretty sure I have this conspiracy theory about traffic
that's not real, because why does it always disappear when
you get up to the point of block traffic?
Speaker 21 (35:07):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 16 (35:08):
I'm pretty sure they send out people to make traffic.
But anyhow, that's that's my that's my theory.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Yeah, apparently we're on the same rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
But yeah, it's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Thank you, thank you so much broadcasting from the fifty
ninth day and you will will work.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
It's a ball.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
So all right, Gretchen, we're approaching the holidays, yes, and
so hard hitting question about your favorite Thanksgiving part of
the meal?
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Oh goodness, like what dish? I am so ahead of you.
I just put a fifteen foot tree up in my
house yesterday.
Speaker 14 (35:41):
Oh nice, you're already You're already in Christmas?
Speaker 13 (35:44):
Yes, yeah, here, thank god you stayed with the Thanksgiving thing. Okay,
what is what was the question? My favorite favorite dish?
Speaker 8 (35:50):
Like, you know, what's your favorite thing now? Like are
you looking forward to it? Because some people are like,
you know, you only have my favorite.
Speaker 13 (35:55):
Yeah, my favorite thing to do on Thanksgiving is to
deep fry a turkey. But it's a big and it's
a lot of work and if you don't know what
you're doing, you could burn the whole place down. Yeah,
and people have Yeah, this is the biggest tip. Do
not fill the oil up to the top. You have
to account for the weight of the turkey and the oil.
That's where everybody messes up. They put a lot of
(36:17):
oil in and then when they dump the turkey and
the oil comes over the top. It's you don't need
that much oil. That's the big that's a big mistake
everybody makes. I feel like, you need a peanut oil.
That's the best peanut oil.
Speaker 14 (36:27):
So is that like a for taste?
Speaker 13 (36:29):
It's just yeah, it's the cleanest and the best, and
I yeah, I think it's the You'll get the best
crisp out of it. Okay, peanut oil.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
I feel like you need to like do a little
cooking show about this.
Speaker 13 (36:41):
Really, I don't do. I don't make turkeys and hams
that I'm really more of an Italian food maker. I'm
not doing lasagnas and stuff.
Speaker 14 (36:48):
Do you bust out any of that in the holidays?
Speaker 13 (36:50):
Sometimes we do, sometimes, especially if we're all getting together
for both. If we're going to do Thanksgiving and Christmas, nobody,
I mean it's like you just got over the leftovers
and then you're going to do the same meal again.
So sometimes we will do an Italian Thanksgiving and then
a traditional Christmas or vice versa.
Speaker 14 (37:07):
Yeah, and then what about your family?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
We're not Italian, we just love it.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You just lot Italian food?
Speaker 8 (37:12):
What about your when y'all gather, I guess I'm picturing
like you being, you know in music, But like, do
y'all ever have like jam sessions or seeing or no?
Speaker 13 (37:23):
No, like the last thing I want to do on
my holidays office Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
No.
Speaker 13 (37:29):
Usually it turns into a big just who can be
the loudest. It seems like we're the loud family and
my daughter is the only one in the family who
will not fight to be heard, and so she's the
one at the table who's just mm hmm. And then
I'll be like, did you have something to say, honey,
and she'll be like, yeah, in a minute, because right now,
you know, my favorite show is on, and that would
(37:50):
be you know, my mom and her husband screaming and
yelling at each other.
Speaker 14 (37:53):
Oh yeah, that's her form of entertainment.
Speaker 13 (37:56):
She's like, yeah, I know my favorite shows on. I'll
speak when this is over.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
So we've been asking people typically the question that you get,
especially with Thanksgiving, even though you're definitely in Christmas mode,
I'm already jealous of your fifteen foot tree.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
I keep eye.
Speaker 13 (38:10):
I know I had to have had to buy scaffolding
to put it up. I didn't know what I was.
I bit off way more than I could chew.
Speaker 14 (38:17):
Okay, did you go pick it out?
Speaker 16 (38:18):
No?
Speaker 13 (38:19):
I put it in my box online and then it
was delivered on then it was delivered on two palettes.
Speaker 14 (38:27):
Okay, I didn't know. Says there is a real tree
or a tree it's a fake tree.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Okay, but I just I guess in my mind that night,
I thought fifteen foot Yeah, it's not that big, but
it's pretty big.
Speaker 14 (38:37):
Where are you gonna store it?
Speaker 13 (38:39):
It's never coming down? Oh it's never, Yes, it's no,
it's never coming down. I'm just gonna have to have
different seasons tree. It'll have to be like the Easter
tree and then the tree and well, I'm gonna have
to be Valentine's Day is never coming down. I mean
it's literal. Christmas lights up all year long for sure.
Speaker 14 (38:56):
North of July. I just make it red, white and blue.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (39:00):
I'm glad I got the scaffolding though, because it'll take
that just to take the ornaments off of me.
Speaker 14 (39:04):
That is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
So before we jump to Christmas, we'll focus on things
seem a little more and we want to know what
you're grateful for this year, but also, in addition to that,
something you're not grateful for.
Speaker 13 (39:19):
I am not grateful for group chats.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
Oh do you leave them or do you?
Speaker 13 (39:24):
I just they just get to be Yeah. I think
it's just my age. I'm fifty two. There wasn't even
cell phones, you know, when I was young. So the
group chat thing is it's just taken. I have a few,
but sometimes they're exhausting. What am I thankful for my
reconnection to christ?
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (39:44):
I love that, especially this time of year, going into
the holiday season. And what when did that reconnection happen?
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (39:52):
It's been happening for several years. I think I was
just getting in my own way, and I think I
finally had to to just open up my eyes and
realize that that it was me that was it was
my issues that was getting in the way, and I
think I try not to get too personal, but the
(40:13):
reality of it is is that I couldn't accept the forgiveness. Yeah,
I didn't think I deserved it, and it finally hit
me not too long ago, that it's not up to me.
Speaker 8 (40:24):
Well, I love that you're sharing it because so many
people can relate to that exact feeling and to hear
that you opened up and could get there, Yeah, it
gives them hope.
Speaker 13 (40:34):
And it was the silliest little thing. It was just
me being who I am. I'm a control freak and
I just thought that I knew better and that was
very silly. It's not up to me.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
Well, shoot, I would watch this TV show like we've
got cooking tips, we've got Christmas tree tips, and we've
got you know, time with the Lord.
Speaker 13 (40:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (40:52):
So yeah, well, thank you for chatting with us, and
good luck with that tree.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (40:57):
I can't wait to see it. Yeah, and you're year round,
your new tree.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
It's a new addition to you.
Speaker 13 (41:01):
I'll get pictures of it and post it, but I'll
have to wait until after Turkey Day at least.
Speaker 8 (41:05):
All right, and don't forget if you're frying your turkey,
don't fill the pot all the way up with oil
and use he not oil.
Speaker 14 (41:11):
You heard it from Gretcham Wilson.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Don't miss the CMAS live on ABC had eight seven Central.
Speaker 10 (41:17):
Nobody start yelling yet you roll.
Speaker 18 (41:20):
Up my sleeves. Has anyone ever been bit slapped on camera?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I mean Midland almost did it to me one time,
so but that was off camera.
Speaker 18 (41:35):
So speaking of things deserving, Okay, and.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
We are here with the newest member of the Walk
of Fame in Nashville.
Speaker 18 (41:43):
We got what some people's opinions are.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
We got somehow made, we got old the minion.
Speaker 18 (41:49):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
My question is how did how did you get on
the Walk of Fame? Money?
Speaker 9 (41:54):
We just paid for it, paid for it.
Speaker 18 (41:58):
Yeah, a lot of sexual sexual favors.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
No no, no, no no like a real question no
no like no no no no no.
Speaker 17 (42:04):
No.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Real question is what is the process? Because I heard
you guys get in the Walk of Fame and I
don't know anything about the Walk of Fame, and I
was just like, wow.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
You have to be.
Speaker 18 (42:14):
Well, it seems like you're an authority on well you.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Know it's good is Google will tell you there's one
hundred and twelve members on the Walk of Fame. And
so I was just like, wow, is Old Dominion one
of the best one hundred and twelve country artists of
all times?
Speaker 18 (42:26):
It's not only country artists in the Walk of Fame.
Speaker 12 (42:29):
Yeahs out we're one of the best artists of all time.
Speaker 18 (42:34):
That we're not transcending.
Speaker 12 (42:36):
I mean I think I think it's making your mark
in music city. So I think we're something unique that
hasn't come along. We're a band that writes all the songs,
plays all the songs on the studio, built it from
the ground up.
Speaker 18 (42:47):
Yeah, Google can also tell you all of the things
that we accomplished.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
No, no, I, I I said, I even breafast it
was saying that you guys have been you you have
massive hits, lots of albums, you've you know, toured, You're huge.
But I just didn't know, like how because I'm like,
is it like the biggest of all time or is
it just you made a mark.
Speaker 13 (43:05):
Or is it.
Speaker 18 (43:05):
I didn't know, so, I mean, to be fair enough,
we don't know either.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
You have no idea, So how did you find Like,
how does it come about? They just come to you
and say, hey, we want to give you a star
on the that's it. That's it.
Speaker 18 (43:17):
Okay, somebody thought we were good enough?
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah, because and then and then I was told someone's
mom is mad at me.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Yeah I think.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
Mad?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, good yeah, well,
I mean I just I just I literally when I
heard it, I was like, wow, because I guess it
feels like you guys are brand new, because when we
got here, you guys were brand new. I felt like,
but then I realized, we've been here twelve years, right,
and you guys are still getting number one hits.
Speaker 18 (43:42):
We are, Yeah, and we've been a band now for
almost twenty years, so you know, we put in some time,
and so you kind of they shoved us in the corner.
Speaker 10 (43:50):
You know, we're not on the main one.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
So I mean, how cool does it feel now that
you can you know, show her, But hey, man, I
got a start. You're gonna just go stand down there.
So when everybody comes to takes.
Speaker 18 (44:03):
A family coming into thanks for Thanksgiving. They're gonna want
to come.
Speaker 22 (44:06):
Yeah, my dad's coming here today. I'm sure we'll stop
swing by. I gotta find it on my own anyway,
because wait, wait, you don't know where it is. But
when they go to is there was like tants up
and people all around, and like I didn't have really
a concept of there was a lots covered up on
the ground, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Okay, what's the next artist? Like, I don't know if
you an artist out there now that's young that you
think you know up and coming? Who's going to be
the next walk of fame?
Speaker 10 (44:30):
I mean, who's going to be around in fifteen years?
Speaker 18 (44:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (44:34):
But is there someone you listen to now that you're like, man,
they're so good and they're going you want them to
blow up anybody? Hmm, you're not gonna give me credit? No, no, no,
we're like no, no, no, we're not doing that.
Speaker 12 (44:48):
It takes a lot of time in a body of
work until you get Yeah, I know, it's hard to
really predict everyone.
Speaker 22 (44:53):
I would say, I'm I'm assuming would already have one,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 18 (44:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Same, How do you do you still love making music
like it has the the fire still burn as.
Speaker 18 (45:05):
If we didn't, we would stop for sure. This is
the music industry and it's music is supposed to be
fun and we have a blast making it and it's
very fulfilling creating it. So if that ever goes away,
we'll find something else to do.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
How do you keep that fire? Because like some professional athletes,
they get that first big contract and like fat and happy,
no longer practicing, like hey, I'm just gonna take my
paycheck and go Yeah.
Speaker 12 (45:31):
I think it's because it's not about all that stuff.
It's not even about the awards. For us, it's not
about the money. I mean, we do it because you know,
when we were young, we picked up a guitar and
figured out how to play a song, and then we
were excited about that, and so we get in a
room and we're excited to make up a song. That's
what fuels it. So we're not doing it for all
these other things. So as long as that's always going
to be fun and inspiring, then we're gonna love doing it.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (45:55):
Okay, Well you.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
Don't seem like you bought it because you guys broke
a record last year and it was huge.
Speaker 18 (46:00):
Yeah, we're a record breaking band.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
I know you guys sell records, but what record did
they set?
Speaker 3 (46:07):
Tell me they won the Group of the Year for
seven years in a row, seven consecutive years in a.
Speaker 18 (46:12):
Row, the most consecutive of anyone.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
But you know why I think that is. I think
other people up and coming they're like, man, we're never
gonna win that, so I'm gonna go solo, you know
what I mean. Like Florida Georgia line. Florida George's line
is like, man.
Speaker 18 (46:22):
Why would they We're never gonna win it?
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Because you guys are good? Yeah right, yeah, because you
because you guys are have a stranglehold over that that
that thing, and so they're like, you know what, how
does that happen? I'm gonna say a lot of hard work,
a lot of like fire in your belly. It's creative.
You love making music, you know, like when you're you're
doing good, when you pick up a guitar for the
first time, when you hear that note, you're like, man,
I'm starting to get this, and then here we are
(46:47):
twenty years later.
Speaker 18 (46:48):
Do what you're doing.
Speaker 13 (46:48):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Oh, what was your question? Did you have a question?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
I just don't really want to disturb the.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I mean, yeah, okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 10 (46:59):
We're all titled our opinion.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, well see here's the day. Here's a great thing
about my opinion is I don't know anything about music.
Speaker 18 (47:05):
But I mean, you know, as you like it or not,
and that's all. That's all that really, that's the most
important thing about music. There's we make music. It's not
for everyone.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
We know that.
Speaker 18 (47:15):
And we've had haters before and we will have them again.
Not that you're a hater. I was gonna say I didn't,
not that you're a hater, but you know, we've we've
certainly dealt with people saying, you know, we're not country,
or we're not this, or we're not that. You know,
we got turned down for every by every record label
that there is because we were too old, or we
(47:35):
were just songwriters or whatever. So those are the types
of things like and I'm I'm being hard on you, but.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
I'm not just trusting me. I'm laughing along with you.
Speaker 18 (47:43):
It's great, yeah, but but those are the things you
can't please everyone.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
I mean, that's why I was glad I was here,
is because I was worried because we were doing our
show this morning. Now, I was like, old Dominion is
going to be there, guys, I have got to get
there before old Dominion comes to our booth, because you
know what I mean, like some people, you know, they
wouldn't want to see here. That's why I told Morgan
to sit on the sidelines. I was like, I'm doing
this by myself, but I want to talk. That's what's fun.
(48:08):
Like I mean, I said it, I put it on Instagram,
I said it on the National radio show. So I
want to I want to go and then and then
I go. Man, I don't even know if they saw
it because they didn't comment or anything.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
We commented on it.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
You did not publicly. Man, I gotta say thank you
for stopping by. And you know, it is Thanksgiving, so
we are thankful for a lot of things. I don't
care what you're thankful for. What are you not thankful for?
Speaker 18 (48:38):

Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
