I can't wait to be able to talka little bit about it tonight,

(02:59):
man.
So how you doing, and how's thebusy time of year right now for
you?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Dude, it's been crazy right now, to be honest, but we
are surviving, we are thriving.
Man, it's been good.
We just got off the road.
I literally just landed likefour hours ago from Portland,
played with Sam Hunt thisweekend at the NASCAR race.
It was really cool.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And just on the road man, just on the road, a lot Man
it's good, though I meanespecially after a few years ago
, when no one who tours aregoing on is that.
I love to see how many toursare thriving this year.
Just see how many people arecoming out and it's crazy, man.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Everybody said last year was going to be the year
you know, but I think this year.
Yeah, for me, for me it's thisyear for sure.
Like this year has just beengreat.
All the shows are like reallygreat.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's awesome.
So we like to kick the showback the same way every week and
just kind of get your earliestmusic memory.
man Kind of growing up, what doyou kind of remember?
just your parents listening to.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Alan Jackson My dad was.
I think Alan Jackson's 1994album still and my dad's tape
deck, probably Because theearliest that I can remember is
Alan Jackson, brooks and Dunn.
My mom was a big fan of theMonkeys.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
You had some monkey blood in you.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I knew all those songs too.
I think my first CD was theMonkeys, but at the same time
Alan Jackson's probably my firstmemory of music.
I guess In my head.
I don't know if that's true ornot, but that's what I remember.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
So you grew up on a tree farm right outside, about
90 minutes outside Nashville.
Did you used to visit Nashvillewhen you were younger, like
your parents taking you intotown or like this kind of
somewhere?
you just didn't really go.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
No man, i felt, you know, i kind of feel like
everybody else that moved toNashville Really like even
though I didn't have to, likeyou know, pack my stuff up, but
it was like it was the firsttime I felt.
I remember being in Nashvillewas the first time I stepped
foot on stage at Tootsies.
So it was like I really I don'tremember any time as a kid
which we worked.
I grew up on a farm, so like Ifeel like we just worked my

(05:15):
whole life.
But I don't remember ever goingto Nashville, which I'm sure I
did for something.
You know, like I'm like I'msure I went to Bridgestone and
saw something or I went to, butI just can't remember.
All I remember is like thefirst time being downtown I was
21.
I was like I just turned 21.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I think so, All right .
So that brings us to kind ofour next question.
Do you remember your firstconcert on kind of what?
what kind of experience did youtake away from that?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
My first concert was just Shanae 20 and Brooks and
Don, i think, and there was.
this had to be a long time agobecause they were planning where
I'm from, which is McMemville,which is a really small town,
and I can't imagine them evercoming there So like because it
was.
it's so small, so they had tobe just getting started.
So it had to be you know, early, you know, like 1990, probably.

(06:05):
I was born in 88.
This was probably 1990, whichis a long time ago.
That's my first concert.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hey, you're talking my language.
I was born in 82.
So I know how that goes.
I was turned 40 last year, soyeah.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
But you tell me now it's like wait, shanae 20 and
Brooks and Don did a concerttogether.
Like what?

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, that's like an awesome joke.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
It happened today.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know we have to be like a stadium.
What happened today?
It was like the Civic Center in.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
McMemville, tennessee , like 3000 people probably.
Maybe, maybe I can't imagine itbeing, i don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Did you think that, man, that's kind of what I
wanted to do when you saw likeBrooks and Don up there and
stuff that first time?

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I was too young.
I was too young to say yes tothat, but I know I've had the
dream of wanting to do it sinceI was 12 is what I say.
But my mom says I could singbefore I could talk, so it's
like I've been singing my wholelife.
I think I sang like brand newman by Brooks and Don on my

(07:06):
grandpa's deathbed.
I mean, i was singing.
I was singing since before Icould talk.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, Really, I mean.
So when did you first pick upyour guitar?
I mean, how did you, how didyou acquire your first guitar?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
I was 13.
I was at the time I was goingto church.
I remember this guy named Wayneand my church who could play
every Creed song there was.
I thought that was the coolestthing in the world And he played
at church And I wanted to.
I was a singer, so I was all Iwant to sing in a church.
So I picked up a acoustic and Ilearned you know some licks
that way.
But then I started getting intogirls and started songwriting a

(07:39):
little bit.
So I started, i started writingsongs for some girls And that's
kind of really what moved italong And I wound up joining a
like a rock band and high schoolAnd I was just.
I was just a rhythm guitarplayer.
I wasn't even a singer and waslike doing nothing.
Country at the time I waslistening to country And I'm
pretty eclectic.

(08:00):
I like everything you know hiphop, rock.
At the time I was into Nirvana,you know, and some grunge, some
grunge stuff.
So it's like a.
I've been into everything, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I definitely was researching a little bit for the
show.
I kind of learned that youstart playing at 13.
And that's kind of when I firststarted taking guitar lessons.
I don't play anymore, but Iremember like the first licks I
played was at Enorsan man byMetallica.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
That's everyone's top five probably.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, i was playing this old like strat that I was
playing, but it was cool because, like in high school, you
formed a garage band and whatkind of music were you guys
playing?
It was probably the creativeMetallica stuff where you guys
was jamming out.
Were you playing originals?
Cause you said you startedright around the same time.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
We were playing a lot of Polo Mudd, which is crazy
because I just met WestScantland from Polo Mudd in the
airport last night, which waslike my I've seen.
I've seen Polo Mudd like 20times.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
So I'm like.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm like in the airport, I don't get starstruck.
I mean I've met everybody incountry.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
I've met a lot of athletes, but like Peyton
Manning and West Scantland, andthere's been a few people that I
was just like I don't know whatto say to this guy right now
Like he don't know how much heimpacted my life growing up.
You know, like, like, as myteenage years were, polo Mudd.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
So I felt that way when I met Aaron Lewis for the
first time.
I was a diehard stain guy.
I love stained And the firsttime I got to meet.
Aaron Lewis.
I was like dude, this guy's theshit dude Yeah, yeah, they're
in, they're in.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
I saw them at Starwood.
Oh yeah, they're in a bunch oftimes.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
So yeah, they used to do at least play with Kid Rock
and those guys back in the day alot.
So that's cool, man.
So you started writing beforeyou wrote.
Did you have a journal poetry,anything like that?
Just kind of dabble a littlebit in writing before you start,
dove into songwriting.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Not really man.
I was kind of in, i was wantingto join that rock band and I
was kind of I looked up to thelead singer who wrote all their
songs.
I guess that's kind of where Igot the bug.
But I had only wrote maybe likefour songs before I started
doing it.
Okay, like professionally Iguess, like all the time you

(10:03):
know, i guess like dedicating mysoul to it, but I hadn't wrote.
I didn't write that much And Ithink I only wrote about four
songs in high school.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, did you ever look at like the liner notes and
see like the songwriter namesand stuff?
Did you ever have like anydream songwriters or just not
really knew that was a thing?

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, i knew a little bit Well, more so as I started
getting into it.
I was probably in college whenthis happened, but, like Craig
Wiseman and Brett James, who'smy publisher Some of the bucket
list guys who I've got to writewith now, which is crazy to say.
But you get, you know, you getjaded in Nashville chasing the

(10:42):
dream so much you get wind updoing everything And it's like
but if you'd have told me I'dhave done that when I was 18, i
would have said you're crazy,you know.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
But Yeah, man, it was like me, like I remember
looking in like mid 90s to seeCasey Botherd's name all the
time.
Like man, who is this guy?
This name just keeps popping upin these albums.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Everywhere.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And so this day, man, that guy's wrote some of the
greatest songs, but he's one ofthe best out there.
Yeah, man, have you got achance to write with him at all,
or is he a bucket list?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
I actually had a day.
I had a day planned with himand I had to cancel it because I
was.
I was in California or doingsome.
I was doing some of the art ofstuff you know, like that's.
That's the.
The hard part is I spent.
I spent probably six years fulltime just being a songwriter and
going through.
You know, you sign a publisherdeal and they put you through
all these motions of goingthrough writing with everyone

(11:30):
and you wind up writing witheveryone.
But then the day came for mewhere it's like are you ready to
do the hardest thing?
And it was my.
For me it was so quick, but meit was like six years of
preparation.
But it was like, hey, do youwant to deal?
Okay, cool, here's your recordBam done.
Like, okay, you're busy, as,like you know, it's like a whole
new job, it's literally anentire new job that you just
added on to your full timesongwriting job.

(11:51):
And so I got to the point whereI had to stop songwriting.
Like last year I didn't.
I wrote probably half as muchas I did the past five years
before that.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
So was there a time when you were maybe at a right
and just wasn't going well andyou guys all just had to screw
it?
We're going to go out and hangout and do something, and maybe
a song popped up that nightwhere you guys were just hanging
out.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh yeah, all the time .
No, there's only been a fewtimes where it's been like a
really bad day.
You know like, well, we justdidn't.
I can.
I can count on one hand howmany times we've been like let's
just go home, boys.
You know like and maybe I can,i may be, only I can only think
of two times where it's beenlike we didn't get nothing, not

(12:35):
even a word.
You know like, there's been,there has been those, but in my
six or seven years of doing itlike full time that's only
happened about twice, two orthree times.
It's not anyone's fault, really.
I think, sometimes it's just inthe air that day.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh yeah, dude, i feel that for sure.
So.
So you started playing.
We were talking a little bitabout college gigs.
You had the three or fouroriginal songs.
Along came the owner ofTootsies man.
How did all this come about?
Did he just catch you out outon a bout, or?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Steve was at Steve's manatee owns Tootsies, which I
didn't even know was.
I didn't even know what thatwas at the time.
I was probably my junior yearof college, which I wasn't
talking, i wasn't even 21,.
I was at a bar.
So I was.
I had a fake ID, probably I was.
I was with my fraternitybrothers.
We were probably playing liketrivia, eating wings, drinking

(13:21):
beer, and this guy came in andhe wanted to hear live music.
And I knew the owner a littlebit, just enough to know, or he
was from my hometown, so he knewjust enough, cause I went to
college, you know, 30 minutesfrom where I was from anyway.
So I went to Tennessee Tech andCookville and he knew that I
had played a little bit.
So he asked me to come go playguitar and I got up there and

(13:44):
I'd been drinking, just enoughto say, okay, i guess.
And I got up there.
I hadn't played in three years,you know, and at the top of
that I wasn't a singer.
I hadn't really sang in frontof anybody ever really I sing
all the time, but not like youknow actually.
And so I got up there and Isang some like Matchbox 20 and,
i think, some Alan Jackson andsome Goo Goo Dolls and whatever
I knew like just off plan.

(14:05):
I hadn't played.
I wasn't even that good atguitar to be on I still ain't
that good at guitar.
But I got up there and I playedand he came over to me and was
like man, i really want to giveyou a job If you're interested.
I thought it's like 1130 PM.
I thought he was, you know,three, six three, six, like.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Just thought he was like me, you know.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
And I'm like okay, okay.
Yeah, you're gonna get to callat 9AM for my son.
You want, I want you to comeplay at Tutsis And I'm like all
right, And I got to call at 9, Iwon the next morning.
Like all the time He was like,can you come in today?
And I was like yeah, so I justdidn't go to class that day.
I just dropped everything I wasdoing right then and drove up to
Nashville and I walked intoTutsis for the first time.

(14:45):
You know, i'm in my cowboyboots, i'm walking and I really
don't.
I'm thinking I'm going in foran interview to be, honest,
because he didn't tell meanything.
So I didn't practice, i didn'tlearn nothing, i didn't, i
didn't do nothing.
So, yeah, i walk in and thisold guy walks up to me and says
you ready, cowboy?
And they just threw me up onthe stage And next thing I know

(15:06):
I'm playing sweet home.
Alabama with full band at 11AMin the morning, messing it up?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I think I messed it up really bad and was like well,
i'm done there.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
They don't want nothing to do with me.
You know, And somebody came byand requested good directions by
Billy, Billy Currington.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I loved that song.
I remember singing it as a kidsitting on a tractor, you know,
like I knew I thought I knewevery word to it, but I pulled
it up on my phone just in case,you know, and I did a pretty
good job on that one.
Everybody, like you know,clapped and I got like three
more requests and they were likecan you?
you know, they kind of kickedme off the stage and asked me if
I could come back that night atsix And I can't believe they

(15:44):
kept me.
you know, but I was like ohwell, i don't.
I know about four songs.
Can y'all give me like a setlist?
And they gave me a set list andI went out to my truck and I
sat there all day learningeverything And I so I sat there
for about you know, six, sixhours learning all the songs.
And I came back that night andsang with a.
I had a girl singer, so shekind of led that you know,
showed me the ropes of how to doeverything, run the tip jar,

(16:07):
and I did that for about sixmonths and I wasn't making any
money because I was driving twohours every day, i wasn't going
to class, i was failingeverything.
I was failing everything youknow.
So I quit.
I quit music altogether and Istarted playing acoustic shows
at college, you know, at thelocal bars there.
I started getting this reallybig following, like really big,

(16:30):
and it was just like you know.
maybe I can do this.
I was the only country actingtown at the time.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Were you going to college at?

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Tennessee Tech, cookville, and there was this
bar called Spankies and it wasright on campus, nice, and it
was like college night Andthat's when I got my first like
opportunity to play there andthe cops got called like three
times.
There's a line out the backpeople hanging like hanging off
the rafters.
It was absolutely insane And Iwas like.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
You know what I think .

Speaker 4 (16:57):
I'm, i can do this for a living, you know, and
that's when, as soon as thathappened, you know, from like
about right then on, it's beenmy, you know, been my mission
and my goal, my main, my maindream, and which you know.
I worked at a bank for twoyears.
After that I got married andgot out of school, but at the
same time I was still doing alittle bit of this and a little

(17:19):
bit of that And finally I quitthe bank and got right into
doing.
I went back to Tutsis and theyremembered me for some reason
And I got back in there and Istayed there for like four more
years And that's really where Igot my entertainment chops, i
guess when I started writing,and where it's where it really
started me.
I have a lot to Tutsis for, awhole lot Steve Smith did a
whole lot for me.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Hell yeah, man.
Okay, we, i have heard in thenotes you know I'm meeting
Hunter Phelps while working outthere And that's kind of where
you kind of sparked thatsomewhere in relationship with
him.
And you still it's right withhim till the stage, don't you Oh
?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
yeah, we're good buddies.
I just talked to him like 30minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Hell yeah, dude.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
But yeah, we, he, i owe a lot to him too, man.
I mean he was, i was on stageand I was opening for him.
I played the six to 10 shiftand he played.
He was always working at thebank all day, going and then
singing from six to 10, drivinghome doing that all day for
about two years.
And then he heard a song that Iwrote for my wife and my guitar

(18:17):
player string broke on the lastsong And he was like they're
like just play one acoustic.
So it was like a dead Tuesdaynight.
There was probably four peopleIt was probably four people And
I was playing and I just playedone that I wrote for my wife and
he asked me if I wrote it Andhe came to my, he drove all the
way out to lead in the next dayand wrote with me And we wrote
every day for like a yeartogether.
We were best friends man And hewas, you know, a little bit
ahead of me And he he signed adeal with Ashley Gorley, which

(18:38):
is, like you know, the biggestsongwriter of all time, and he's
just absolutely on fire as asongwriter right now.
I'm proud of him.
He's one of my best friends.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So before you left the bank too, you're a firm was
a big promotion of the bank,weren't you?

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, I just got promoted to like manager and
trainer, Like I was going tohave my own branch.
You know, like in, it was likea nine month program where they
give you your own branch andyour own, you know, be the
manager of my own location orwhatnot, But I quit the next day
.
I just I had already beenthinking about it and I talked a

(19:16):
lot about it.
It was just on my heart, youknow, and I had to support it
too, so that was awesome.
It was everything, yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
So that's one thing I want to kind of touch on
because I wrote this down.
My wife here, she's a nurse,she's a nursing leadership.
You've been doing it for yearsAnd that's the reason why I get
kind of get to do photographyand do this And I worked at
dispensary during the day parttime.
But she lets me kind of chasemy dreams on the side too.
And it's been kind of coolbecause when I was reading and
researching this you kind ofwere in the same boat a little

(19:44):
bit.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Your wife's a nurse practitioner.
She helped you, she made allthe money.
That's why I was kind ofkidding.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I wasn't really saying that.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah, I'll be straight up honest.
You made all the money and Ispent all the money.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
But like, even when you were kind of doing some work
and you're getting some moneyand kind of working on touching
stuff, she's like you just kindof bank that money And that's
kind of I get my, i get tipswhere I work at part time.
I work at dispensary here inIllinois.
We're between or in Chicagoarea, so I work at dispensary
during the day and we get tipsout there And that's kind of
like my money to put back intowhat I do.
Like I do concert photographyand then do this podcast and

(20:17):
everything too.
So it's really cool that shelets me, she's flexible and lets
me do that And I'm kind of helpthe kids and do the dad thing
all day long too.
We have a six year old and nineyear old, so it's all.
It's an interesting day aroundhere.
Summer just started.
But dude, just going back tothat, i mean with her support
and everything, what do you?

(20:37):
what does that mean to you, man?

Speaker 4 (20:40):
I mean at the time I was, I mean I probably took it
for a little more for grantedthan I do now, for sure.
But, dude, i mean it waseverything.
I would literally work at thebank all day And then, when I
quit the bank, i would writesongs all day and then sing
songs all night And I'd get homeat 3 30 in the morning and be

(21:01):
back at about 10 or 11 the nextmorning, and every single day,
seven days a week, not fiveevery day.
And every song that I wrote Iprobably demoed, because every
song I wrote I thought I wanted,you know, i thought was good
and I would spend the money on ademo.
So all the money I made atTussies went to beer and demos.
Really, because I mean becauseI was drinking it That's just

(21:24):
what I always say.

way And it's been crazy causewe've been together for I guess

(21:49):

It was like it was the firstmoment for like it was really
good for us.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I'm sure you've had a couple of moments like that too
where I'm going around.
I got to shoot shoot Luke Combsa couple of weeks ago in
Pittsburgh And that was kind ofcool man And that's huge.
So yeah, it was the big stadiumtour And I got to do the whole
work with his photographer andstuff and run around and do all
that And it was just, it wasamazing dude.
So it's cool to be able to dosome stuff, it pays off.
Yeah, so I love that man.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
It's just a team.
Just a team, just likeeverything else is.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
So in everything like well, I kind of read about it,
She gave you pretty much a fiveyear, five years to make it in
10 year town man, She kind ofgave you a half year.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
I mean she was like you got five years.
It wasn't like that.
It was like we both kind ofsaid I mean, five years is long
enough, right To have like anymusic success at all.
And boy, I'll cut, barely cutit.
Yeah, you're about four and ahalf months in.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
And then you got the call what was it from Hardy that
bought Colorado, man, Florida,Georgia, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I was in the hospital , like wearing my scrubs, like
literally.
My wife was about to have aC-section And I'm like going
into the room which I don't asmy first child, so I didn't even
know that my son was like 10minutes away from being born.
At the time I thought we had,you know, go through this

injected.
Like it's like, it's like rightnow It's quick, She's like yo,

At the time Kid Rock and JasonAldean were gonna.
I had already got a call like acouple of weeks before that
from Hardy or 101 saying thatKid Rock and Jason Aldean were

(24:14):
going to cut it Like as a duo,and I was like that's just
killer.
You got to also remember at thetime I had probably wrote in
about 1500 to 2000 songsindependent, no publishing deal,
getting paid $0 to write anysong I've ever wrote in my
entire life.
And so I'm like wait, my firstcut's gonna be Aldean and Kid

Speaker 1 (24:46):
FGL fam.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I love Tyler Hubbard.
He's one of my like he's, i'm a.
He inspired me a lot too as asongwriter.
He's one of the bestsongwriters in town.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
They started a whole new genre of music, dude.
I feel like a whole new genreof music.
He writes like the best.
I mean he writes.
He's a hard worker man.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
They both are, And they were they, just they
changed the world.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yep, they're amazing songwriters or innovators.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
They changed a lot, you know, and I'm like, holy
crap, all right, cool.
And then I'm like I got to goAnd I'm grabbing a baby.
And so it was like three weekslater they surprised me.
I was riding with Hunter andHardy comes walking across the
street drinking a beer And I'mlike what are you doing?
Like downtown, like Midtown,nashville, I'm like what are you
doing?
And he's like you're done, it'sabout to change brother.

(25:28):
And they took me over across thestreet And I got to watch Joy
Moy and the whole crew cutColorado and like the whole
thing which is really fullcircle now, because that was my
first cut, which led to me apublishing deal, which led to me
a record deal, and now I'm kindof working on my own little
album kind of thing, or not ahundred percent, sure you, how I
want, how I want to present it.

(25:48):
But I called Hardy like acouple of months ago and said,
you know, like I feel likeColorado was the thing that
started me.
Like it's kind of like my firstchild, in a way, it's like my
first baby, and I wanted to kindof go with me and Florida
Georgia line didn't single itI'm thinking about putting on my
record And Hardy was like man,you beat me to it.

(26:09):
I was thinking the same thing,and so we just went in together
and recorded it together, and soI'm going to put out Colorado
featuring Hardy, which is goingto be killer, you know, and I
haven't I don't think we've he'smentioned Hicks tapes, put it
on Hicks tapes, but I think I'mgoing to put it out myself on my
record If I can.
If I can't, that's cool too.
But he's the boss, probably.

(26:31):
You know he's farther alongthan me.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Whatever he, wants to do.
That's awesome.
I love the Hicks tapes.
All you know is those man.
I'm a big fan of.
I'm a huge fan of Ashlyn Craftdude And that last one she had
on the last rocker was awesome.
So, all right man.
Well, yeah, dude, it's justcrazy Like those last 24 hours,
those 24 hours of your life,just how quick everything
changed.
And tell me a little bit,before we kind of move on, about

(26:55):
being a dad at the time,because we kind of went through
the same situation We got rushedinto the C section, i got put
scrubs on all this stuff.
I had no clue what was going on.
I was like you, i thought wehad some time And all of a
sudden next thing, i know I'm ina recovery room holding a baby
and I'm running where my wife is.
But tell me a little bit aboutjust like that situation for you
going through that for thefirst time, i mean it was by far

(27:19):
the craziest.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
I guess if you don't believe in God or I'm not a
preacher by any means, but thatwas the first time I was like
wow, you know, like this isincredible, like we shoot.
It was like real quick.
You know, she had I forget whathad happened, but something
wrong happened And it was timeto, like, you know, quick C
section and it was just it was.

(27:45):
He was, like, you know, wrappedaround the core, all everything
that you hear in stories, thebad stuff, you know, all that
was like happened real quick onthe one and It was just a.
And the doctor like thosedoctors are amazing, you know,
it's just like.
I mean I guess they do it everyday between me.
I'm just like thank you so much, like all my hands and knees,
like thanking I'm, you know,like It's a, it's a, it's a

(28:06):
beautiful thing, for sure It wascrazy, it was intense, i feel
like.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
it was just like wow.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
God is.
Wow, he's over here looking me.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
She's like why you guys talking about kind of like
this I'm like cuz like you,don't you never you didn't get
to see all that like what theguys went through.
Did you get to cut the cord toafterwards like they get.

(28:36):
Let you cut a little piece ofit.
Oh, yeah, yeah they let me cutit like they already had it,
like the tap or whatever.
But they let me cut like alittle piece of it.
I got to cut a little littlepiece and this and that I'm like
all right, that's cool, i'll dothat.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
It was crazy man It was, it was awesome.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
The second one, we got the schedule.
It was a breeze.
We're in and we're out.
So, But becoming a dad is kindof kind of wanted to go into
this next segment.
A good old man dude.
That's kind of what led me toyou.
When I first heard that song Ikind of really dig, dug into
your backstory a little bit andstarted listening to you more of

(29:13):
your songwriting stuff.
I loved it, man.
But when I heard good old mandude, it just changed.
I quit drinking, be what.
Three and a half years now Iquit drinking and just kind of
changed myself up.
So when I heard that song I waslike damn dude, this is really.
It was hitting me.
So I'm sure I'm one of the manydads that probably reached out
to you this and that, but it hadover 21 million streams on
Spotify, dude.
It became a tiktok sensation.

(29:33):
I, when did you first see thatsong catching on?
like how did you like kind ofsee that kind of going viral
almost?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Well, i knew when I wrote it that it was really
special, and then it was gonnabe something Like in my heart it
was a number one.
The second, we started ridingit, like I'm like I think this
is no matter Who sings it, idon't give a shit who it is,
this is gonna be on, you know,the biggest of the biggest.
I knew that this was my momentand And uh, but really I guess,

(30:03):
to be honest, the second, likethe night after I posted it was
like the fuck was fucking insane.
I mean, like literally eighthours, and to me posting it,
there was already 23,000 peoplehad already used it in their
truck and the same doing thesame video that it may have like
put like Flashing the cameraover to their kid, like in like
like one line.
They didn't even heard the songyet.

(30:24):
It was literally just.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I got it.
It was a little section I.

Speaker 6 (30:29):
Won't need to be a little better if he's gonna want
to be like me.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
That's all.
They had one, one line, youknow, and that was just like six
million.
That's crazy which is forcountry, for in country.
That's like I don't think itmight be the record still, i
don't even know if it's onethat's been over that I'm sure.
I'm sure there is, but Therewas.
It was a moment, for sure andit was just like Okay, this is

(30:53):
the song, this is what we do,you know, and and this is still
kind of where, like, the recordlabels and everybody are like
kind of new To take, talk likewhat the hell are we doing?
It's why it was a Kind of I'mlike well, we need to be going
radio.
No, it's like, well, hold on,nobody knows who you are, you
know, let's say, let's justchill out.
It was a.
It was a weird moment for mebecause it was like a lot Just

(31:14):
beat every record at.
On that day.
I beat every record and countrymusic history, i think, on tick
tock and it was like, okay,cool, we're gonna be on the
radio tomorrow, right, andthat's just not how it works.
It was insane, really, and butmore importantly, the most

(31:35):
importantly, the people that'stouched and Which it was
unplanned you know like it wasjust a true story about me and
trying to.
I was, i Was just thinking aboutlittle things.
You know like me cutting backon dipping you know like, and me
Because I found one I rememberspecifically leave out being

(31:55):
like two year, like or You know,oh baby, and I left my dip out
and he got, you know, he gotinto, didn't open it, but he was
playing with me, i'm like whatthe hell am I doing?
Like me coming home from to usHe's at 3 30 in the morning,
like, and I had been, you know,been drinking a little bit or
whatever, just like little.
That's not a little thing, butI got, i'm saying me me

(32:15):
realizing that I need to changea little bit.
And then the second day that Iposted this song, i had probably
Realistically like 500 messagesfrom people that weren't in a
good place in their life and itwas like Just that one line, one
line, and they didn't evenheard the song.
And the one line I'm gettingmessages from guys that are in

(32:41):
prison.
Somehow they get their ticktalking in prison.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
That amazes me.
I've seen it.
I don't know how that happens.
That shocks me.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
People tell me they're in prison.
You know, i've got.
I've got.
I've got 11 months left And Iknow the first thing I'm gonna
do when I come out It's gonna bea good dad, you know, whatever
just little messes like that.

To our room on tour, powered by pod decks as our
sponsored part of the night.
We pulled a couple cardsearlier.
The first one is do you haveany pre-show rituals or routines
before you had it on stage,anything that kind you got to do
before you head out?

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Well, we pray before every show, and I drank a couple
beers and I Usually go off.
The only time I spend by myself, i'll probably go off and I'll
smoke one cigarette before Iplay, before I play, and What,
what said no singer ever.
But that's what.
That's what I do, that's myritual here.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Oh, yeah, man, Yeah, you gotta take a few minutes for
yourself sometimes too, so loveit.
Our second was do you have, doyou did, any of your father's
hobbies or passions rub off onyou, and do you see any of yours
rubbing off on your kids?

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Oh, Man, i guess when I say, when you say passion,
the first thing that comes tomind.
My dad was work.
I kind of I got into musicbecause my daddy was a
workaholic and I feel like heworked to me a little bit a lot
on the farm, not more thananybody else or anything.
I just I feel like that's whatkind of got me into music.

(44:40):
So I didn't have to, i didn't,i could play music, so I'd have
to work and Anyway, and that'swhat kind of Led me to the dream
.
And now that I'm chasing it I'mworking just as hard or harder
as he did and it's kind of likethat's that.
That shows me that I was.
You know, i maybe we're just toomuch alike.
That's why we didn't get alongthat well on the farm.
But uh, when it comes to mykids Not my Levi, not not sure

(45:05):
yet you know he likes rhyming.
He's always like rhyming,because I'm always running
around the house like rappingand singing.
He likes doing that.
So I'm like maybe he's got anend of my little bit, but I Mean
my dad hobbies when fishing.
I love, i love fishing, i loveNASCAR, i love every.
We all like the same thingsdrinking beer.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
I love that.
We're gonna play a couple gamesreal quick.
This first one is calledMelodies and Memories.
It's kind of funny because acouple of these songs we've
already kind of touched on.
But I'm gonna play four clipsof songs.
First, memory you have on it.
We'll talk about it for a quicksecond.
Okay, let me pull this up.
Um, hit to the yellow one first, and she, she don't know, she's

(45:49):
beautiful.
Sammy Kershaw, man, when youhear that sign, where's it take
you?

Speaker 4 (45:54):
I see a dusty road.
I see a dirt, a dirt roadbetween two, uh, green giants
covered in tree spiders, sittingon a cabal, a tractor, sitting
on a smoker boat, a tractor inthe middle of Tennessee in the
middle of day and just likeliterally covered in bugs and
just like Nasty, like just likedriving going like point three

(46:17):
miles an hour, just screaming atthe top of my lungs, looking
over my dad's like.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I love that these are all literally it.
These songs are all preloaded.
I know I've had these songsloaded for a probably month now
since we've been going back forthe show, so it's really wild
that this next song made it,because we've already kind of
what happened to you a coupledays ago.
Go ahead, hit the green one.
So blurry but old mud dude,when you hear that song, where's

(46:55):
it take you?

Speaker 4 (46:55):
I'm 16 years old and A garage band playing it and
probably I was proud.
I listened to that freakingrecord and him so much man, as a
matter of fact, that My itmight be the municipal
auditorium watching him play toplaying it, playing it So, which
I saw them play so many times,it was so crazy.

(47:18):
I met him yesterday.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yes, yeah, that's awesome, That's crazy.
I got to see him out in Memphis.
They do Beale Street music festand puddle mode played it one
year and I got to see him asfreaking awesome dude.
All right, hey, green, this isgonna be a good one.
That's my number one, Yeah sowhere does that take you, man?
What was the first memory popsin your head of that song?

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Probably sit on a boat like just.
I.
Heard that song so many timesin my life and saying that song
so many times my life.
I feel like that's been a partof me my whole life.
So I don't have a certainmemory, it's just like that's
just one of the to me.
One of the reasons I'm sittinghere talking like this is like
that's, like that's countrymusic in a shell to me, like
that's one of the best songs ofall time.
That's what and that's.

(48:03):
I'm just a huge Ellen Jacksonfan, like if there was one
artist I could do anything withor go anywhere.
I'm seeing him so many timesbut like He's just the, he's the
goat to me of all of allcountry artists like that I know
there's been.
Like I'm not like on paper thisor that or who's the best.
He is my favorite countryartist of all time.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
And I always will be yeah, he's amazing.
That's how I feel about allthis.
Next song hit the yellow one,we'll do that one real quick.
So church centers, like I wasgoing through research and some
stuff, i saw these names pop upbut I was like, all right, these
would be good ones, buteverything, you see, i don't
know if you can see the trippingrun.

(48:42):
I love you can see the cameras,everything you see behind us
there, church stuff.
So we're huge Eric church fansand all been collecting stuff.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
No, i'll once again.
I don't think I was even 21year.
He was playing, like you know,before that song he was even out
.
I mean, it was this.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
It's probably like 2005.
He was playing lightning.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
He was playing lightning Susie, before I even
played there, like, like beforeI mean I just started playing
there, you know, i just, i Don'tknow, that was crazy, i was
like So, I don't know.
I guess it wasn't 2005.
I guess it wasn't Tussies, idon't know downtown somewhere.
I'd been somewhere and seeingplay, maybe 10 roof, i don't
know.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Yeah, he played.
He played a thing at 10 roof,it was a.
It was a pub crawl is like, andthen across the street like
they're expending, played orsomething.
It was wild.
I remember that show the night.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
The night that I got my job at Tussies whatever,
playing at that bar, some gotsome random guy who's one of my
best friends now is in JeremyMackie.
He works for FedEx and Google.
As my boy right there He would.
He would come what.
He came up to me and he saidyou sound good singing country,
you need to listen to this album.
And he handed me there, like ina bar or randomly hands me Eric

(49:53):
church album.
Why do you have Eric churchalbum in a bar?
now He's back to throwing dartsand I'm like Okay and I he let
me have it and I took it and IListened.
That that's probably the most.
That's probably the most recordlisten to record I've ever
listened to.
Ever.
I mean, that's what got me intolike full-blown song writing
was Eric church.
For sure I got sinners like metattooed on my forearm right
here.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
This is one of my songs.
I love it.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Have you ever seen the?

Speaker 1 (50:16):
sinners like me video , music video All right when it
ends.
It ends with like a sinnerslike me tattoo in the air.
That's my arm, okay, so you?

Speaker 4 (50:26):
ever go back and see that that's me.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
That's my little clean defense.
That's insane and that's Aaron.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
And that's Aaron.
Aaron would walk around sayinghe would, we would go stop and
we'd buy a stack of Eric churchCDs And he just hand them out to
random people.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
He did the same thing , so I'm a hundred every
everywhere we went, he was.
I'm such a big fan.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
They're in the ACM, sir, cmas, one of my last year,
like a year ago, i somehow gotinto his like private, like
private event party.
I don't know how I got in thereand it's like the biggest of
the like.
You know, morgan, it's me, himand Morgan wall and standing
there like, and I got my back tohim like in a way like I've
never met him.
You know, at the time I'd metMorgan a few times, so like that

(51:06):
guy was my man, morgan, and Igot before, but that was kind of
my end to Eric and I was like Italked to him for a second but
there was.
I wasn't supposed to be there,so I was, you know.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Right.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
It's fine over my shoulders, actually his Gibson
hummingbird, his first one hehad on my hundred show.
He gave it to me on stage Andso cool.
There's a cigar burn on the topof it.
He used to walk out on stagewith a cigar and it burnt right
through the lacquer, the guitar.
There's a crack down the middle.
He's like tell me all thesestories after he gave it to me.
But it's a he all of his oldmusic videos and stuff.
That's actually his Gibsonhummingbirds sitting behind me,

(51:40):
so that's like my most prizedpossession.
But yeah, he's the man dude andhe's.
I feel like he changed a gamefor singer songwriters in the
town.
He's one of the biggest thereever was.
