(00:00):
I got the whiskey. Let me have a drink of your whiskey.

(00:03):
Better get out of here. My name's Ken and I clean Willie Nelson's
underhull. Underhull?
I know you don't agree but I think he's the king of country.
Get the fuck out of here. Get out of my studio.
No, hell no. From the Ramona radio studios, it's the

(00:27):
Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show.
Alright y'all, welcome to the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country
Show. I am your host, Travis Billy Ross.
And with me today, I've got Sweet Curbs as always.
Hey, hey. Always.
We've got Eric Goforth over here running the sound.
Pop friend. Doing the magic stuff with the music.

(00:49):
And we've got a very special guest today. Victoria Bradley.
Oh, you gotta do that mm-hmm in the mic again.
Look at that, that's a sound bite right there.
What is that? Wah, wah, wah, wah.
Victoria Bradley, how are you doing today? My good friend.
Thank you, sir. I'm excellent.
So you might know Victoria Bradley from a little store in

(01:11):
Ramona called Ramona Family Naturals.
I'm sure you've heard of it. I've heard of it.
You've heard of it. I've been there once or twice.
You've heard of it, Victoria? A few times.
Of course you have. Come on now.
I'm there at least four days a week.
Four days a week, I know.
I go in there all the time, get some good stuff,
get good food.
You got, you doing good over there, Victoria?
You got whiskey? I do, thank you.
Okay, sweet curbs, you good? Four-fingered.

(01:33):
You got four-fingered? I'm great.
I thought you were talking about this store.
I was like, do they sell whiskey?
No, this was a heavy curvy pour.
Yes. Well, it was only heavy
because you were looking away and I had to say,
I think that's good. We're gonna say that's enough.
Thanks, mom. That was Kirby's way
of looking out for you.
She put her own judgment on that call there.
That's my trick, looking away.
The good news is, there's a whole bottle under here,

(01:56):
so whenever you're ready.
I saw that bottle.
I got a whole bottle of Gentleman Jack under here,
so if anybody gets low, just let me know and I'll...
Yeah, that hurt my liver looking at it.
Right?
Your liver loves it. We've gotten pretty good.
We used to go through a bottle a show.
I know. We got one bottle going,
lasting us two or three shows now, so.
Well, okay, let's be honest.
Yeah, yeah, that's like double the size of the normal bottle.

(02:18):
Okay, next time I'm gonna bring
all the liver supplements that I have.
Oh, my God, okay, yes.
We're gonna do some liver cleanse.
Also, if you could bring some Pizzolato, that'd be great.
Oh, more alcohol, okay.
She sells that. Is it Prosecco?
We can't call it Jambrean Prosecco at her store.
It's delicious.
It's so good.
There's a Pinot Grigio, sparkling Pinot Grigio.

(02:40):
Oh, yeah?
It's a fan favorite.
So I saw it, but I didn't know it was sparkling,
because I saw Pinot Grigio, and typically it's flat.
Yeah, but it has that bubbly,
it's in the same bottle.
My favorite.
I know that when we go there on Sundays
and you got the live music playing on the front patio,
that's so awesome that you do that, by the way.
We always do the mimosas in the morning time.
Mimosas and breakfast, yeah.

(03:01):
And the champagne that you have is called Pizzolata?
It's not champagne.
Well, I know it makes me piss a lotta,
so that's why I remember the name of it.
That's fine, but it's Prosecco.
Champagne, you're correct to me,
if I'm wrong, can only be from France.
Yes, it's actually a sparkling rosé,
the Pizzolato, the sparkling rosé,
and it's a brute, so it's not sweet.

(03:21):
Prosecco's sweet.
I know, it's good.
I know, do sweet.
Pizzolato, Pizzolato.
That's so funny.
That's a funny name.
So Victoria, how long have you been doing
the organic food store?
How did you even start that?
So I guess I was pregnant with Justice,
who just turned 18, right?
And I read a book called The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin,

(03:44):
and it was just about how food was,
well, just by our maker, how it was created.
Like, just don't mess with my food.
We don't need, all the antibiotics we don't need,
all those things. GMOs, Howard.
All the GMOs, so it's really just getting food
down to the basics.
And I read that, it was very eye-opening,

(04:06):
and all the recipes in the back of the book
were from this book called Nourishing Traditions.
So I had to go down to Jimbo's and buy that book,
and then I was hooked.
And it was this massive, it was like a food bible,
and it was like history and science and cooking,
and I'm a total foodie anyway.
I've cooked my whole life.
And so I just got really into fermenting things.

(04:29):
So this was in 2000, gosh, I'm trying to think.
Well, we opened the store in 2008.
So it was right around that time I got really into it,
and same time that the economy crashed.
And my husband lost his job and all these things.
So we just, and I, by then.
It was a good time to open a store.

(04:50):
It was, yeah.
I figured if we could survive then, we'll thrive later.
So, yeah, and we are.
But I started teaching classes to all these homeschool moms
on how to make kombucha, before kombucha was much of a,
before it was cool, yeah.
Fermented like sourdough bread and sauerkraut
and weird grass-fed meats and all those kinds of things.

(05:12):
So I got into that a long, like 18 years ago.
I learned how to make kombucha.
Did I ever do it?
No. Oh, God.
Rachel Steiner taught me,
and she gave me a scoby and everything.
Oh, I have a funny story about the scoby.
But I never did it.
What is that?
Well, the word scoby sounds like it belongs there.
Scoby looks like a gelatinous jellyfish
that you put to ferment your kombucha.
Yep. It's a jellyfish?

(05:32):
No, it looks like that.
It's like this gelatinous mass that you put in it.
It's a symbiotic culture of.
There you go, she's the professional.
Yeah.
All right, all right, let's hear it, Victoria.
What is it?
Bacterial yeast.
That's what scoby is, it's an acronym
for symbiotic culture of bacterial yeast.
I didn't even know it was an acronym.
And you put it on top, you make a tea,
and then you put sugar with it.
And then all you need is, it's like a slime,

(05:55):
looks like a booger, like a slimy thing out of another jar.
You can see it in that apple cider vinegar, too,
that has a, it's not a scoby,
but it has a mother, like a, for vinegar.
And you can reuse them, right?
It's very similar.
Yeah, so you put that in there,
and it feeds on the sugar, and it turns it,
I'm gonna say all the wrong things now, but whatever.
It's like in a butyric acid and different things.

(06:16):
So it eats the sugar, ferments it,
and it actually makes it so it's, you know,
it's healthy for you.
Yeah.
Interesting, I can tell you the weirdest thing
I've ever had from your store.
It was like, it was a pickled beet juice.
Oh, we have weirder.
Did you try the moss?
How about the sea moss?
No, he says it's the weirdest.
He bought the beet kvass, and we take shooters of it.

(06:38):
I don't, yeah, I don't mind the beet kvass.
I was making beet kvass back then.
No, because I said kvass.
Yeah, it's kvass.
Kvass, sorry.
Yeah.
Well, one day we went in there,
one of your employees was pouring.
Aubrey, we love you.
Yeah, Aubrey, she was pouring little shots of that beet juice.
And she's like, it's all good, and I...
Travis's like, I'll do any shot.

(06:59):
Yeah, let me try that.
He's like, doesn't look like alcohol, but.
If it's a shot glass, I'm trying it.
It's a real bright red, and it looks good,
I'm gonna taste it.
Yes.
It's good for your blood.
Good for your blood, and I like that.
Good for your blood.
I wanna have good, healthy blood.
It's good.
You need all the help you can get.
Oh, I know.
Yeah.
I drink way too much, and I need some blood stuff.

(07:21):
All right, cool.
So let's get on to the music here.
We're glad that you're here with us.
Thank you.
I know that you really support
the local Ramona musicians.
As you know, most people know, Dirty Confetti plays.
From all over San Diego.
Yeah, from all over San Diego.
From all over San Diego, come up to play there.
And Dirty Confetti plays there every Thursday.
Every Thursday.
We've been doing that for like, what, five years?
Oh yeah, we'll have to talk about that.

(07:43):
Long time.
We do brunch.
Oh yeah, and now you're doing brunches.
10 to noon if it's hot.
We found out the hard way.
So sorry.
No, that's okay.
You showed up and they're like, we're done.
No, yeah.
I was like, I get it.
It's a little warm out there.
Lessons learned.
Lessons learned, lessons learned.
Okay, so we've had this controversial.
Wait, hold on, I gotta say something
I was talking about music.
Go ahead.
Ramona's best music venue in 2023.

(08:06):
Yes.
Before you go to hear the good music.
The good verbs.
That is right.
Yeah, it's a little shout out.
We were voted by the Sentinel Readers' Choice Award.
It was the best of Ramona or something.
Yeah, best of Ramona 2023.
Among many, we had other accolades as well,
but best music venue was the one that I went,
oh wow, because granted, there are better venues,

(08:27):
but I think the reason we won is because
when you come on a Thursday night, it's just a vibe.
Packed house.
It's like family.
There's kids, it's like same people.
People know you.
And there's new people too.
And I don't know, it's just such a good,
you guys make it so fun and everybody's singing.
And it's just fun.
I know, it's one thing I really, really love about that

(08:47):
and it's exactly what you're saying.
It's this vibe that you get that is unique only to you.
And when you go there, it's like all of a sudden,
you're with nothing but friends.
Everybody's just hanging out
and just really enjoying the music.
And yeah, good food.
Yeah.
Well yeah, you got a full kitchen.
You know, a full kitchen.
So you can get food. I'd be in big trouble

(09:08):
if I didn't mention Thursday nights,
we have a lovely symbiotic relationship with Victoria
at Ramona Family Naturals with Paamo.
We were the number one tasting room for 2023,
but we call it the alley crawl
because we have music, they have music.
And it's just so amazing to see all these people
that come out and they go back and forth
and they want to hear the music, have wine,
have dinner at Ramona Family Naturals.

(09:30):
It's amazing.
Yeah, they come have dinner at Family Naturals
and then listen to Dirty Confetti
and then they go over to Paamo
and listen to whoever's playing over there,
have good wine.
And then I tend to go over to Red's after
and I sit by the fire pit with Peter and hang out
and they smoke cigars.
What do we call that?
What do they call that?
Oh, the afterglow.

(09:51):
Yes, yes, thank you.
Victoria coined the phrase.
That's really a Monday night thing,
but yeah, afterglow.
I have to go everywhere.
I just, you know, there's a fire pit.
I'm like, it doesn't sound good, sorry.
We're talking about the end of the evening
winding down by the fire pit, folks.
Yes.
Get your mind out of the gutter.
Come on now.
That afterglow.

(10:13):
Girls need some afterglow somewhere.
So yeah, give me a fire pit and I'm like a moth on there.
And you guys got fire pits in the wintertime
over at Family Naturals too.
Oh yeah, yeah, and in the morning when it's cold.
And then I end up at the barn.
So Thursday nights, it's a long day for me.
You know, we end up, we end at the store at eight.

(10:34):
Then I go to Palmo until nine.
And then I go over to Reds for a little bit.
Then I go to the park.
About 8.45, I see Victoria dancing through
when I'm working on Thursday night.
It is an exhausting day on a Ramona day.
For all of us, right?
Every three days.
I'm just a little stoked.
I don't work this Thursday.
Oh no, is that?
No.

(10:54):
Oh, I'm going to the fair Thursday.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Fair's going on.
Oh, little big town.
Little big town, yeah.
Little big town, I got tickets.
Little big town.
You know, the only thing that'll pull me away
is other music.
Sorry, Travis.
That's okay, I'll forgive you.
You know, that's one thing that I've really come
to really admire, and I mean this with all sincerity,

(11:15):
Victoria, is that when we get down to talking music,
we realize that music lovers are very eclectic people
and we like all kinds of music.
So music is always like, it's what we do.
I mean, it's very cool.
So let's talk about something real quick,
a controversial topic that we've always had.
And we have this with every guest that we've had.
So who, in your opinion, let's just do it first.

(11:37):
Let's do the queen of country first.
Who, in your opinion, queen of country?
We already know who Sweet Curves is queen.
And I believe I agree with that as well.
Well, I grew up with Loretta Lynn, sorry.
She was my second, that's fine.
Coal Miner's Daughter was my favorite movie.
She's a hot contender.
I made my kids watch it like a year ago.
Really?

(11:57):
Yeah, I'm like, you guys.
Did they like it or were they like what?
They loved it.
They loved it.
They loved it.
But they needed to watch that.
Oh yes.
That was just a thing.
Coal Miner's Daughter.
That's an important thing to know.
So good.
Yeah, okay.
Cool.
All right, so we've established
the queen of country, Loretta Lynn.
That's been an ongoing thing.
I like that.
It's been Dolly and Loretta.
It's been Dolly and Loretta back and forth.

(12:17):
So I mean, I love Loretta Lynn.
I love me some Dolly, but just Jolene's
just not my favorite song anymore.
Jolene?
It's a touch over play.
It used to be my favorite over song,
and that's not why.
No?
Okay.
It used to be my favorite song.
I think it's stupid song now.
It's just an opinion.
It's the backstory.

(12:37):
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
King of country.
King of country.
Oh gosh, now you're putting me on the.
You can't say George Trudeau.
You're gonna have to leave the studio.
There's no wrong answer.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, I'm not.
You can say whatever you want.
You can say whoever you like,
but who do you think like the best like,
like and we're not talking about like new,
because it can't be new, like can't be like, you know,
Zach Brown or somebody like that.

(12:57):
Zach Brown or somebody.
It's gotta be somebody like older,
like that's kind of started the whole country tradition,
you know?
Well, Garth Brooks, I'm sorry.
God, get out of my studio.
I did love some Garth Brooks.
But no, I mean, I wasn't listening to country back
when all the older, like,
I didn't know a lot of the older country singers.
Right.
I just didn't.
I was, I didn't listen to Johnny Cash.

(13:18):
I was, in the seventies,
I was listening to James Taylor and Barbara Streisand,
all the things my parents, that's what they listened to.
So I don't know.
Let me tell you what changed my tune on Garth Brooks.
Well, a couple of things.
He's an amazing artist.
Like I can't dispute that.
I don't like that.
I don't know if you know this.
What is the copyright thing called?

(13:40):
Like you can't play his music.
You can't pull it up on YouTube.
I can't play it here.
Are we talking about him as a person?
Or him with his music?
Well, I'm just saying,
that's a whole different thing.
But that's part of his music.
That's part of his music.
He's saying you, nope, unless you pay all this money,
you can't hear my music.
Well, he's a direct license.
Yeah, he's a direct.
I don't like that.
You know what really bothered me about him?

(14:00):
But I can't dispute his talent.
Let me tell you what really bothered me about him.
No, it's not what he said.
It's about what he did.
It's with that alter ego guy that Chris Gaines.
His eyeliner game was strong.
It was an experiment.
It was an experiment that didn't work.
He let it go.
I will say though,
It Don't Matter to the Rain is a great song.

(14:22):
Yeah.
I don't even know that one.
All right.
That's Chris Gaines.
We gotta get some music going.
Who are you listening to these days, Victoria?
Oh, well, on my way here.
Yeah, well, whatever.
No, well, yeah, on my way here,
I was listening to the Red Clay Strays.
That's a new band for me.
Do you feel like that's outlaw country
or is that like new hip hop country?
No, it's definitely not hip hop country.

(14:43):
No, this guy sounds like Chris Stapleton,
who I also love, love, love.
He's got his voice, but he looks like Elvis.
He's so, he's just, he's hot.
And I love Zach Bryan.
I love Tyler Childers.
Oh, okay.
Oh, you know.
All right, let's get some Red Clay Strays.
You also mentioned a little Big Town.
So I wanna hear a little Big Town song

(15:03):
because now you got me thinking about them.
Okay.
So let's get a little music in here.
A little girl crush, right?
And then we'll take a little break.
Let's do it.
I'm in the private school, never miss sunny church.
And I come from blue collar, low dollar,
out here where concrete means old red dirt.

(15:25):
And I don't know what happened,
but it sure don't add up on paper.
But when I close my eyes late at night,
you can bet I ain't my maker.
She keeps on loving me,

(15:48):
loves me the way I am.
She's not just alone for the ride,
she's my biggest fan.
Oh, it's a little whole piece of heaven
when we lay down tonight.

(16:13):
and I keep on wondering why.
She's got a wicked smile, angel eye,
every guy wanting to hold her close.
She's as pretty as sin,

(16:36):
like the sun sinking down on the California coast.

(17:01):
Oh, it's a little whole piece of heaven
Mm-hmm.

(17:24):
All right, all right, all right.
Don't know what happened,
but it sure don't add up on paper.

(17:49):
And as long as she lets me,
I'll take her wherever she wants me to take her.
Oh, she keeps on loving me,

(18:11):
And it's a little whole piece of heaven

(18:35):
Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

(19:04):
My friend named Jack,
he's got my back.
He always seems to know right where I'm at.
My friend Jose,
he likes to play.
He's always up for anything I say.
A little bit of red,

(19:25):
a lot of bitter crown.
Don't matter what it is,
I'm gonna drink it down, down, down.
The wine, the beer, the whiskey.
I'm in home with things that fix me.
I'm not saying it's a problem,
I can stop it if I wanna, but the wine,

(19:47):
the beer, the whiskey,
they always get me.
My friend named Jim,
he's got some friends.
I'm talking Bandi, Sherry, and their brother Jim.

(20:08):
My friend, the captain,
we call him Morgan.
He likes to anchor down and hang over to morning.
A little bit of red,
a lot of bitter white.
Don't matter what it is,
it's gonna make it all, all right.

(20:31):
I'm in home with things that fix me.
I can stop it if I wanna, but the wine,
the beer, the whiskey,
they always get me.

(21:02):
My friend named Cito,
he's my amigo.
I'm gonna follow him around wherever he go.
I got all my friends here with me.

(21:24):
I can stop it if I wanna, but who would wanna
when the wine, the beer, the whiskey,
they always get me.
They always get me.
They always get me.
And I can't help it, they always get me.

(21:46):
Yeah, they always get me.
They always get me.
I will wait for you till the sun turns into ashes

(22:12):
and bows down to the moon.
I'll wait for you.

(22:33):

(22:59):

(26:35):
I was born to be a dumbass sir

(27:05):
You pronounced that wrong sir.
Oh my God so I want to give a shout out to our sponsor.
Oh yeah. Little Outlaw BBQ. Is it BBQ or bbq?
Outlaw BBQ, the show is sponsored by Outlaw BBQ. Hey Victoria have you had Outlaw BBQ?

(27:28):
Oh, so many times. Yeah. Super good. He's kind of a staple.
Yeah, actually I had Dean up to do the food for Sarah's, my daughter's birthday party.
Oh yeah?
Oh for her 16th?
Very good.
Then Justice wanted the same thing for his 18th and he was booked.
Oh no.
And Justice was devastated.
Good for Dean, sorry for Justice.

(27:52):
Yeah, I mean that's good that Dean's booked and he's doing his thing.
That's pretty awesome.
Give him a call today.
Book your next event.
He does weddings, he does all kinds of crazy events.
He even does divorces.
And fun fact, he sources some of his meat from my store.
Oh yeah?
Well that makes sense.
Oh yeah, organic.
Can we talk about RFM for just one moment?

(28:13):
Oh sure.
Because every time I walk in there it's a surprise.
Because I don't realize there's so much there.
Like you have a full restaurant.
Yeah, it's a full kitchen.
Yeah, and I think a lot of people are, at least I was, I was like,
holy cow they have a restaurant in here?
So you have a full kitchen.
Oh yeah, we do breakfast, lunch, dinner on certain nights.
Dinner on Thursdays.
Carnivore Bowl.

(28:36):
Carnivore Bowl.
Sorry, that's a tongue twister.
Carnivore Bowl.
Is my current favorite.
Yep, that's my daily.
Yeah, so anyway, I just thought that was fascinating.
I think a lot of people thought it was just a natural foods grocery store.
But there's a lot more to it than that.
You've got a huge wine selection.
Yeah, local wines.
We have a ton of local wines.
And then we have organic and natural and all that from all over the world.

(28:59):
I love that.
So we try to use some local distributors and they just source all the cool stuff for us.
All that farm to table stuff.
Yeah, I get this call going, hey, can I come up today and do a wine tasting?
Hmm, let me think.
Gosh, poor me.
Poor Victorian.
Yes, please.
Let me get all my bookkeeping done first though.
It makes for a difficult time to get any work done.

(29:21):
Oh, so they come to you and they want you to sell the wine.
Oh yeah, we do a full tasting in the office.
Hey, I want you to sell my wine.
Here's samples.
Yeah, we have to taste it.
And then I'm like, well, you're going to leave those, right?
They're already open.
They're already open.
Right.
You know, it's funny, in all industries, you have to learn to take advantage of some of the perks.
Oh yeah.
And I can see in your business people coming to you with wine all the time.

(29:44):
Oh yeah.
I get music submitted long before anybody else gets to hear it, which is cool.
I get to hear music performed by anybody else.
You know, so, but I can see how in a grocery store.
That'd be pretty cool.
Yeah.
So the thing that's not as much of a perk is having people come in and bring food all the time.
Because, you know, metabolism, you know, genes.
I can imagine.
That's a challenge.

(30:06):
Yeah.
Anyway.
Gotcha.
I just wanted to, I just thought it was cool.
I never thought, I never thought of, anyway, you know what I'm saying.
That's cool that Dean Outlaw BBQ does your organic.
Yeah, he comes in and that's pretty cool.
And buys some of the sausages and stuff from us.
Yeah.
So yeah, give him a call today.
858-354-7712.
Book your next event.

(30:27):
He does all kinds of cool events.
Outdoor stuff.
Who doesn't like barbecue?
Nobody wants to party with salads.
They don't have the meat.
That's a great tagline.
Unless you're at Ramada Family Natural.
Actually, I'm a total carnivore.
But you can get meat on your salad.
I don't eat a lot of salad, actually.
I don't eat a lot of vegetables.
I don't eat a lot of meat.

(30:48):
I don't eat a lot of salad, actually.
I don't eat a lot of vegetables.
Well, you know, cows eat salad.
I love cow.
I eat cow.
Lord.
All right.
All right.
So we were talking about a topic, one of the last shows that we did.
What was the...

(31:09):
Oh, I like that sound.
Somebody was telling me that it's like this thing right now.
what's it called?
ASMR?
Yes.
these mysterious sounds. So they're not mysterious. Some of it's weird. My niece and nephew watch
this and it's like weird. I shouldn't say weird people. People eating weird food sounds

(31:29):
and they talk like this. Okay, I have a big Mac from McDonald's and I'm going to dip it
in sweet and sour sauce. And then they like dip it and eat it and like, Oh no, I couldn't
do it. But these people have millions of followers. I don't understand it. It's not new though.
This is not a new thing. But TikTok has just made it a bigger thing. I think because they

(31:54):
do a lot of videos with ASMR. So it's, it's all the little. Oh yeah. We're like, huh,
I have a package. Yeah. I'm going to open this package. All right, y'all next week on
the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show, we're doing sound effects and we're just going
to shake up the weird shit and make all kinds of awkward noises. I'm just kidding. It's

(32:15):
going to be an hour of you moving your whiskey glass around. But that's all it is. That's
what's wild. It's, it stands for, I don't know the ASM part, the AS part, but the MR
is meridian response. And it's something that in certain people, the noises, it's like a
soothing therapeutic. It's a thing to them. Just admit it. It's, it's like a foot thing.

(32:38):
But it's a sound thing. I guess it's not. Yeah, I think it is. It's not that different.
I mean, people have had sound machines for years, right? So you want to listen to the
waves crashing on the beach while you go to sleep, I guess it's kind of the same thing,
right? Yeah. But then they get like these pretty girls on a car and they're like in
the wheels and eating a crab leg. That's one of them. Like, I'm not kidding. But there

(33:03):
is something to the sound response because I'm a hairstylist and I've said forever, the
sound of thinning shears, cutting through hair. If someone put that on a sound machine,
I would sleep like a baby the rest of my life. It's such a, just satisfying soothing sound
to me. The buzzing sound, like a snow when the, oh, wait, no, no, no, not hair cutting

(33:24):
scissors, thinning shears. So there's this specific type of shears that have teeth in
them so they don't cut length off. They take weight out of your hair, but it just makes
sound like Kirby do it. The sound I can't even do it. I'll try to find a sound and I'll
do it. But it's the most soothing and maybe it's cause I do hair and I love what I do,

(33:44):
but it's the most soothing, just like uniform, every time sound. And all the soda companies,
they started, I think they kind of started it. Yeah, maybe where you like pop in the
tab. Yeah, you pop it open. That's, that's iconic. Can I tell you, can I tell my favorite

(34:05):
one? What's your favorite thing? Oh, the sound of a course light. Well, that too, that's actually
cool. The sound of a big block 454 with dual exhaust. Ah, love it. No, it's like when they,
when they got it way over Camden goes, oh, yeah, that's my favorite. I grew up with boats,

(34:25):
like water skiing and stuff. So boat rate and my uncle race boats. So I love engine,
the sounds of engines. Yeah. So I love it. I used to go to the drag strip all the time
in South Carolina and they would have the big blocks. No exhaust at all. Just straight
freaking pipes going. Oh man. So loud. Yeah. NHRA to go. I was a little girl. So I would

(34:48):
literally like even fall asleep on the beach or in our boat listening to all the boats
and all the jet boats and it just put me to sleep. So I love it. I love it too. Yeah.
All right. Well, that was a fun little round trip around the sun. Yeah. Where the hell
are we at? What are we talking about? What day is it? What we do? Metallica. All things

(35:09):
go back to Metallica. So Victoria, the world revolves around Metallica. Victoria, I know
you're, I know you're you like country, but you are also a rocker. I was, I was a rocker.
Yeah. I think I started out sort of rockabilly and then, which I just saw as Stray cats are
playing in San Diego. So I'm doing that. You can't keep me away. And yeah. And then eighties

(35:31):
rock for sure. Iron maiden concerts. Oh, wow. Metallica best concert ever actually. 91 Rose
bowl. That's something. Oh yeah. Good old Stray cat strut. You played Stray cats last
night. That was Brad. I was like, I'm here for this. Yeah. We had this orange, we had

(35:54):
a little cabbie kitty named strut after this song. Stray cat strut. He ran away as most,
Washington say most cats do in Ramona. He ran away. In my head. He's living life somewhere
with another family. Oh, somebody's just feeding him better. It's okay. I might've meowed,
I might've meowed a couple of times last night. That was so good. He's on a cat farm. What

(36:16):
did that sound like when you meowed? No, I'll tell you what. And he thinks I'm crazy. I'm
convinced the people at scenic Valley ranch, Dennis and Sherry, they had an orange tabby
cat that looked exactly like strut that got away. And we went to their winery for the
first time and he came and sat in the chair next to us, hung out. Let me pet him was the

(36:37):
chillest cat. And they're like, yeah, you just showed up here one day. I'm like, that's our
cat. It totally could be that. That happened to me. We had a cat that jumped over the fence
when our pit bull ran after it. It was gone for like two years. And I went for a walk
down the street. I'm like, uh, that's blue. He was at a neighbor's house. Just, you know,
a couple of blocks down. Yeah. But it turned out to be a blessing because it had all these

(36:59):
skin problems and she goes, Oh, this cat's cost me a fortune. I'm like, I've never seen
it before. I don't know. I did not say a word. I'm glad that cat has such a loving owner.
You're so amazing. Better you than me. No, he seemed fine. And I told Dennis and Sherry,

(37:23):
I didn't say, I think this is my cat. I said, this is like exactly like the cat we lost,
but he was very happy there. So he's still very happy there and not eaten by a coyote.
No, we're good. We love that. We have an RV park by us and when they disappear, I'm like,
Oh, they went into someone's RV. Yeah. That's how I, I'm just going to think of it that
way. Yeah. It makes me happy. Yeah. On that note, straight cat. No, I'm just kidding.

(37:49):
On that note, let's listen to it. I kind of want to listen to it. Yeah. It is a cool song.
Sn sendo. Hey déjà

(38:26):
I can't aren't stray cats sitting on the fence
Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air

(38:48):
Stray cats turn on my fleas cats
I'll appeal on Cassanova, hey!
I'll get a band outside, get a shoes run at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can
Yeah, don't cross my path

(39:23):
I don't bother chasing my surround
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moon on a hot summer night
Singing the blues while the lady cats cry
Wow stray cat, you're the real dog guy

(39:45):
I wish I could be as Catherine Wilder
I got cat class and I got cat style

(40:18):
I don't bother chasing my surround
I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moon on a hot summer night
Singing the blues while the lady cats cry

(40:39):
I got cat style
I wish I could be as Catherine Wilder

(41:20):
Well you can buy a diamond ring, slip it on my hand
Put me on a big old plane and fly me to a foreign land
Show me rolls of fancy clothes, say honey you can take a pill
That would be my kind but it ain't gonna do the trick

(41:41):
Give a little love, a little squeeze and a little kiss
Give a little hug, I want some more of this
Take a little time, yeah make a little fuss
That's what a woman wants, so give a little love

(42:04):
Mmm hmm
Get this, you can be some big hunk, have some darkened talk
Talk to me in foreign tongues, a whiff of southern drop
Be a man for most I am and wear a pointed hat

(42:28):
I don't care how you look, cause that ain't where it's at

(42:49):
There a man who'll turn your head and knock you off of your feet

(43:11):
Sweet talk and big blue eyes make a poor heart skip a beat
They'll drive you wild with a smile and then they'll treat you cruel
I ain't gonna fall for that cause a mama didn't raise no food

(43:31):

(44:01):
I'll give a little love
I'll give a little love
Yeah, I'll give a little love

(44:23):
Yeah, I'll give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love.
Give a little love.

(44:46):
Give a little love.
Give a little love.
That was straight cat strut.
Who was that last one, Victoria?
Give it a little love by the Judds.
Give it a little love by the Judds.
Yeah.
Good old Judds.

(45:07):
All right, so Victoria, we had this conversation, I don't know, a couple of episodes back about
if you were, let's say you got shot up into space or let's say you're stuck on an island
somewhere, right?
And you had one song.
Chapstick.
Chapstick on the island.
We need more here.
That's all I need.

(45:28):
I need the organic chapstick though.
I don't want to...
Okay, this is not a plug.
Because you can put chapstick everywhere.
The chapstick you sell at your store though, this is a real thing and you reminded me,
it's in the bamboo little...
What is the brand?
The Bee Love or something.
Bee Love, yes.
Literally, I have 12 of those.
I buy one every time I go in your store.
It is my favorite.

(45:48):
I have a pumpkin spice one.
I have a cherry one.
I have a mint one.
Oh, they're so good.
Sorry, Travis, we digress.
Anyways, sorry.
I just have to plug because it's good.
And try it.
Okay.
I will.
Because if you...
When did you get to try that, Kirby?
You probably have one in your purse right now, Kirby.
I don't.

(46:09):
It's actually in my car.
But anyways, if you were on a deserted island or got shot into space.
Or shot into space and you have the options, you got one song or yeah, one song, you got
one drink.
Forever.
You got one food and you got one person.
Oh.
You just complicated that a lot.

(46:31):
She's got four kids.
Someone's getting a friend.
I'm not picking a kid.
That's not a good thing.
You can't pick a kid.
Yeah, you can't do that.
Because they might listen to this.
You're a single lady.
You have no kids.
Can two of my answers...
Just so you know, Cassie decided she was taking Helen Keller just so that she didn't have
to talk or listen to nobody.
Well, can my answer two be the same?

(46:51):
Sure.
There's one song, right?
Yeah.
That's Wicked Game.
Okay.
Wicked Game.
I can chrissize it.
You can chrissize it to my one person.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Because then he can just sing it to me the whole time.
We're going to repopulate the silence.
I'll be like, can I get my chapstick, right?
Oh yeah.
You'd have to listen to this for 10 years.

(47:14):
Yes, please.
Yeah.
That's what we said, right?
For like 10 years.
It was 10 years, yeah.
Can I get him when he was 30 or whenever he sang this song?
Well, we did say they could be alive or dead, so I guess any age.
Because it's all very hypothetical.
Can I be that age too, please?
Oh, we really are repopulating the island.
And I need extra chapstick.
Okay, we're good.
I'm going to forego the drink option and just ask for another thing, a chapstick.

(47:39):
Yeah.
Extra chapstick.
So here's the thing that we decided.
If not, it would be Johnny Depp and we'd be drinking rum.
Well, you can make your own rum on the island.
That's what we said.
You got coconut milk.
You have all the things you need.
You can make your own rum.
That's what we said.
You got coconut milk.
You have all the things.
I think that's why he said in space.
So you could do your double chapstick and just make your own rum.

(47:59):
You'd have rum after like a year and a half.
You're good.
Okay.
All right.
Okay, so Chris Isaac, don't want to fall in love.
Wicked game.
Or wicked game, sorry.
And chapstick.
For Chris Isaac.
And then.
I think I'm blushing.
What would the cocktail be?
Cocktail.
Or drink.

(48:20):
That's a good question.
So I guess, well, any food, right?
I don't think I would pick sushi because I'm on an island.
I'll just spear everything.
I don't need that.
Given to me.
Very blue lagoon.
But if you're in space, I don't think there's fish up in space.
Space fish.
Either steak.
Then just give me steak.
Steak or sushi.
Those are my two favorite foods anyway.
Yeah.
There you go.
I could eat that all day long.
For Chris Isaac.
Or nachos.
Because we don't get fat in space.
Oh, that's true.
I mean, I'm not sure.

(48:41):
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
You just keep saying nachos.
Or nachos because we don't get fat in space.
That's true.
No, no, no.
See, I forget about that.
We're way less, way less.

(49:04):
But I'm having all the chow sticks in Chris Isaac.
I'm not getting fat anyway.
That's okay.
Get set up.
Getting those workouts.
That's rad.
Man, those kids listening to your show.
No, there's probably not.
There's not.
No, there's not.
What to drink?
Oh yeah, cocktail.
Or drink.
I'm an equal opportunity drinker.
I have a problem when I go places to drink.
And they're like, even just reds, I'm like, what do you want?

(49:26):
Oh, do I want wine?
Or do I want beer?
And then if I go somewhere with a cocktail, it's even worse.
And then I'm like, ugh, can I have that?
And you can't mix.
So I don't know.
What's that old adage, wine before beer, never fear?
No, it's beer before liquor, never sicker.
Liquor before beer, in the clear.
No.
I think we're backwards.

(49:47):
OK, so either way.
Well, I cannot drink it.
Mine was vodka soda.
You can do, like, you can have a mixed cocktail.
Old fashioned is my go-to.
That's my go-to, for sure.
There's too many ingredients on that, St. John Island.
I feel like there are.
No, there's like a 19-gallon drum of old fashioned.
No, again, you're on an island.
You can make coconut sugar.
There's your simple syrup.
Probably oranges growing somewhere.

(50:09):
Probably oranges.
What island is this?
I want to go.
I know.
You just need the whiskey.
The Dole truck is going to be, the Dole boat's
going to be going by.
This sounds like a great island.
Oh, I need a pineapple, please.
Yeah.
Cabbie and Curse, Cabbie and Curse.
Did you see what I almost did there?
Cabbie and Curse.
Oh, man, we're drinking way too much.
Curby and Cassie are really good at that, like digging beyond.
Just the simple question.

(50:29):
Yeah.
Because I love good beer, too.
One of the episodes was, what would you do with,
there's 10 days left on the planet.
And they were like, we're going to go on an adventure.
We're going to do that.
I'm like, I want to see my family.
Well, yeah.
All right, 10 days left.
We'll talk about that, because that's a good topic.
There's 10 days left.
What are you doing?
OK, of course you're going to see your family.
The world is going to end in 10 days.

(50:50):
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do with your family?
Or what are you going to do in those 10 days?
I'd hang out at the beach, or I'd hang out in the mountains.
That's my happy place.
Five days on the beach, five days on the mountain.
I'd be fine with that.
And one day, one day.
I'd stay at a house.
I don't want to deal with the congestion.
Can we snowboard?
There's probably going to be a lot of traffic.
If everyone else knows, there's 10 days.
I'm just saying.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
What about square dancing?

(51:13):
No.
Sweet Curves said she'd try vodka milk.
No.
Eric said he drank vodka milk.
I said if there are 10 days left, I'd give it a whirl.
What is vodka milk?
Eric, I miss this guy.
It's literally vodka milk.
No, but have you seen all the buttered whiskey?
Have you seen that?
Do clarified milk butter?

(51:33):
Like ghee butter?
Yeah, and then they add whiskey, and then you filter it.
And oh, I have so many recipes that I save on Instagram
that I'm going to make.
I tried Bullet Coffee one time, and it didn't taste bad.
The coating on the inside of my mouth, I was like, I'm good.
Well, I don't know.
I'm going to try it.
Wait, wait.
It's for my speech.
Bullet Coffee is basically you blend butter and coffee

(51:55):
and whatever else you want, and then you drink it.
But because you blend it, it incorporates.
It doesn't taste bad.
It doesn't taste oily.
But it leaves a definite residue on the inside of your mouth.
Mine did.
So wait, you're telling me that I can make whiskey with butter
and put it on my toast in the morning?

(52:15):
That's crazy.
Thank you.
He's going to get fired.
It's for a drink game.
You can't have that at work.
Sweet Curves, I'm making breakfast tomorrow.
I work tomorrow.
Well, I've seen like blue cheese infused martinis, all kinds.
There's all kinds of crazy.
What about the red wine infused cheeses?
Yes.
Yeah, we sell that.

(52:35):
Them are low cheese.
It's a thing.
But is there an alcohol content in that?
Or can a 12-year-old come in and buy that?
Yeah, there's no alcohol.
Oh, there's no alcohol?
It's just flavor?
Yeah, sorry.
What about the whiskey?
What about the whiskey?
No, I don't know.
We have a whiskey cheese, too, actually.
It's the Bella Vittano.
They make a whiskey.

(52:56):
Yeah, it's a great one.
It's really good cheese.
That reminds me when I was a kid.
See, Travis has a problem.
Everybody says it's something with whiskey in it,
and he's like, it's whiskey with something in it.
That's why I was telling you about the butter whiskey.
It's a thing.
Oh my god.
I'll try it.
I'm definitely going to try it.
Yeah, now we have to try it.
I'll let y'all know.
You know those little chocolate things

(53:16):
they have with a little bit of a rum?
Brunch, Ramona Family Naturals, debuting.
I can't do whiskey.
I'm kidding.
Sorry.
I can't do whiskey.
I wish.
It was a joke.
No, but you know those little chocolate things that
got the little drop of rum inside of them?
Sure do, because we didn't know.
Reminds me when I was a kid.
Yeah, when I was a kid, we didn't
know they had alcohol in them.
And my grandma had a box of them.

(53:37):
And my cousin and I probably ate 12 of them each
and got viciously ill.
Pretty much same thing.
We were like eight and 11.
It wasn't the alcohol.
It was the sugar.
Made you sick.
Either way, but yes.
But we didn't know.
Kirby and her grandma have a thing that go way back.
Kirby always fucks her up.
That's true.

(53:58):
Grandma's always getting me drunk.
Whoa.
She didn't know.
We just were eating the chocolate.
It was a box of chocolates.
They shaped like bottles.
We didn't know.
They're shaped like bottles.
They're this big.
I'm like, I don't know.
They're like cigarette candy.
What is this, Nero?
Oh my god.
Root beer chocolate?
I didn't know they had tobacco in them.
I'm not joking.
Oh my god.

(54:18):
I remember those cigarette candies.
We thought we were super cool.
We were so cool back in the 80s, riding around bicycles,
no helmets, smoking candy cigarettes.
OK, that might have been the 70s for some of us, Travis.
I was bored in the 70s.
I didn't really remember anything until the 80s.
But I do remember candy cigarettes.

(54:39):
I don't really remember a lot from the 80s.
But that's another story.
And you'll be coming back next week.
Tell us all about it.
Oh, I would love to.
It might take a while.
Oh man, Eric, how much time we got?
We got about five minutes with the lovely Victoria.
Do you guys want to send Victoria out with a song?

(54:59):
Yeah, Victoria, any song you want.
Oh, we missed that.
Oh, Chris Isaac.
I think we should play that.
Yeah, that's a thing.
Want to fall in love?
No, she's going to start making out with a microphone.
And she's going to be like, oh.
She hasn't finished her whiskey yet.
She'll be fine.
She can compose herself.
That's true.
I haven't stood up either, so we'll see.

(55:20):
Oh, it's always when you stand up, you get that rush.
I've been sitting here for a while.
Yeah, well, hey, anything by the Scorpions, too.
That's it.
Oh, didn't you go to Vegas for your birthday to see them?
Oh, I sure did.
That was a bucket list thing.
Was that, oh, that's a good question.
Best concert you ever been to?
Metallica.
Metallica?
It was Metallica and Guns N' Roses in 91 at the Rose Bowl.

(55:44):
But Guns N' Roses sucked, sorry.
And I loved them.
They were awful in concert because Axl was a hot mess.
Metallica killed it.
Best concert ever.
I've seen them a few times.
And you're right.
That's pretty wild.
It is never a bad show.
That they collaborate.
I didn't know they ever did gigs or shows together like that.

(56:05):
That was epic.
I mean, Rose Bowl is big.
And that was in college.
Yeah.
It was all the trifecta of perfection.
That was a great concert, great age, great time to go.
Oh, I can imagine.
I was 21.
It's perfect.
Holy crap.
Yeah, with a boyfriend who just was not in his element,
though.
He was like, oh my god, what are we doing here?

(56:28):
He's like, OK.
It's my Harvard boyfriend.
He was like a suit and tie guy.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Well, not quite.
But you know, soccer player.
And he wasn't the rocker boy.
They call him Squares.
But he got the ticket.
So he did something right.
Seven weeks.
Oh, he did something right.
He bought the ticket for it.
Yeah, that was quite the day.

(56:49):
Well, Victoria, thanks for coming and hanging out with us.
I had a lot of fun.
It's fun to just get to know you a little bit better
and just hang out.
Oh, my god.
I mean, so often we tell this to all of our guests.
Like, we all know each other through the music scene
or through business or stuff like that.
But to just sit and just hang out and bullshit for a while
is fun.
It's always fun.

(57:10):
It's been fun hanging out with you.
You know, we've played at Ramona Family Naturals
for like five or six years, whatever it's been.
And this is the longest I've ever talked to you for.
Usually, it's, hey, how's it going?
No, it's not.
I don't think that's true.
No, this is the longest.
We've never talked for an hour before.
It's because I'm always like clearing dishes.
I know.
You're always so busy.
Busy, deep.
Playing music or whatever it's always been.

(57:30):
You are adorable.
We love you.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming in so much.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Victoria.
You want a scorpions?
You want to go away with the little scorpions?
Yes, please.
Give me one.
What do you want?
Oh, god, don't do that to me.
I have to.
I have to.
You can't do that to me.
Just pick a song.
All right.
I love all the songs.
All right.
I still love it.

(58:17):
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart.
Much too long for a man who needs love.
I've missed you since I've been away.

(58:38):
Baby, wasn't easy to leave you alone.
It's getting harder and harder to come
I have a choice but to stay
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you

(59:02):
I imagine the things we do
I just wanna be loved by you

(59:31):
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings mislead
Girl, babe, I just need you right there before

(59:52):
Just imagine, come through this door
To take all my sorrow away

(01:00:14):

(01:00:59):
Now I like you
Now I like you

(01:01:20):
Now I like you

(01:02:34):
My name is Ashley Norton

(01:02:55):
Norton no Ashley E door
In there otherwise it doesn't make sense it makes me happy though
That could be worse
I've been called worse. Yeah, you should hear what he calls me when the mics aren't on I know I've heard

(01:03:20):
No, though, I don't have to say anything I felt like I needed to take you aside and you know what Travis says about you
There's so many things I could use with Eric I I give a lot of people nicknames. It's kind of my thing
It's what I do sweet curbs, you know, that's really take it off. I know everybody calls sweet curbs. We curse
This just happened today so on his car when he gets text message updates it says you have a text message from

(01:03:46):
Kirby or you have a tip whatever so we have a friend. She's another musician. Her name is Chloe Lou
Chloe loose key Chloe loose
It does not phonetically pronounce the name it's Chloe Lousky

(01:04:06):
You have to go in and butcher the way it's spelt so that actually like makes it come out
Anyway, yeah, let's do it. Right. Let's do it. Right miss Ashley Norton
Love you, darling. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me to get you on here. We're very excited
They've given me some whiskey. So yeah, are you good? Yeah part two part two of the show is

(01:04:27):
Arguably more entertaining than part one. So yeah, we tried to buy the amount of whiskey. It's all downhill from here
It was Cassie's fault. She's like how much whiskey you want and then you turn your back for three seconds and then four four fingers
Is that four fingers with or without ice yes ice kind of just waters it down. I'm still fucking up your intro

(01:04:49):
Whiskey, you know, there's no rules here. There's no rules as long as we're having fun. It's all good. But now Ashley Norton
Wonderful musician been doing this for years and years touring Nashville the whole thing
Yeah, Ramona's Coast citizen of the year last year
Yeah, I didn't know we had a citizen of the year thing and then I saw you got it. I'm like, yeah Ramona Journal and all that

(01:05:10):
Good
You're like, yep, that was me too. Yeah. No, I got an email
I got an email that was like hey, you've been nominated for citizen of the year and I thought that I was being punked or something
I was like spam
They must nominate everybody that's seriously what I thought like oh everybody probably got the same thing

(01:05:34):
I didn't tell you I got that email. You didn't you're a liar
Garfunkel got it. So sweet curves
That's what happened and then we won which was crazy yeah you and John John Haas yeah, yeah

(01:05:57):
Yeah, so that was just surely I was like well surely they're not gonna pick
Either of us as the winner because they're nominating both of us and they ended up picking both of us at the barn
Did you see me actually win the award though? I was like like deer in the headlights
I've never won an award before so I was just like what?
And I'm like trying to accept the award with John I'm like, where do I go up here? Okay, do we make a speech?

(01:06:21):
No, you don't make a speech. Okay, cool. I'm just gonna walk off this way. You didn't make a speech
Well, yeah, right you normally make speeches, but they told you no
You didn't think your mama I don't know
And John and I were you would be nowhere without Garfunkel your dog just so you know, I know

(01:06:41):
We might feature him later
All right, so Ashley you've toured all over yeah the United States and you're and abroad and abroad who's the broad what's her name?
Okay
Okay, so
Nashville good times the times out there. Yeah, I call it Nashville University. I lived there from 2010 to 2014

(01:07:07):
Got my degree
Degree not really. I mean I I moved there and and you know
I felt like I really honed my craft and songwriting there and like to the point where I wanted it to be anyway
You co-write a lot when you live in Nashville's just we call it the Nashville handshake
You change cards and you decide to write some songs together
It was really an interesting experience

(01:07:29):
you know you see you always sit in your first co-write and
You feel like you're offering nothing and you feel very very awkward and out of place and soon you just kind of get into
It and it's like as if you go there the songwriter anyway, it's just kind of something you get into
So that was very cool. I feel like I I learned a lot
But then just trying to like do the music industry thing there just wasn't my jam

(01:07:50):
It was how does the songwriting come about like someone sees you playing somewhere and they're like, oh, I like what you're singing
Here's my car. Let's get together and collaborate or exactly. That's what happens. Yeah, so there's so you guys know my songbird show
And it's three artists in a round. So that's happening all over Nashville all the time, but like on crack
So they they have three artists in a round

(01:08:12):
But then they'll do like three or four rounds in a night and that's actually how I made my living
There is hosting those shows
I kind of lucked into that role and that's why I never had to
Play a single note on Broadway because I was making my money hosting these
Songwriter shows and then I would feature at them as well with my original music
But people would show up to network and meet each other and listen to these original songs

(01:08:33):
And then as a songwriter you hear somebody do something if it moved you or you were interested in that person what they're doing
You go. Hey, you want to write sometime
Absolutely, and some for some, you know, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't you know, it's just like anything you you get a chemistry with somebody and
All right. So sometimes it's work. Sometimes it worked. Give me a give me an example of you guys met Johnny Garcia

(01:08:57):
Yes, he was just at the town hall concert performing with me. So that's a perfect example
You got a new album come out and he was he was on it. Yeah
Oh, that's right. Yeah, I met him in Nashville and saw right around he was there and I remember there was like a lot of buzz
In the room because it was like Garth Brooks is guitar players here. Have you met him yet? Have you met him yet?
I'm like no

(01:09:18):
And then I did he was very nice and then very nice guy. He's very nice
Yeah, he really is a good guy and he went and played some songs with
this other artist and then as
I mean you've met me real ballsy
so I went up to him and I said well
I'm about to go up and play a few songs you want to jump up and and
Play with me and it's complete leads with me and he was like shorter

(01:09:41):
so we just jumped up there and did some off-the-cuff stuff and and we clicked and then we did the Nashville handshake and
Exchange the cards and and then started writing a lot together. We wrote a lot of songs together
So that's where that first album that Ramona radio kind of brought out of the vault came from
Johnny produced that in Nashville

(01:10:02):
That's the one
Mama's daughter
Johnny and I wrote that together with Troy. I love this song. Thank you
I love the whole album, but this one this one all of a sudden has become very very in demand here in town
Yeah, thanks to you
Being like why don't you ever play that song? I'm like what song like mama's daughter the one I released 15 years ago

(01:10:23):
I don't remember it and then I had to relearn it. What are the chords?
You love me TBR
I know I remember we did a show at Ramona. I mean you and it was your gig. I just kind of crashed it
It was great. They were like, all right, we're just gonna do a bunch of songs in e
So just pick us we did a whole we got there a whole we a whole set all in

(01:10:49):
Good times again, okay, so that was that was a good experience with the songwriter thing. Give me here. Give me a bad one
I can I say on the radio whatever you want. Whatever you want to say we're
Look, we're just sitting here in the living room for her and Eminem tried to collaborate once I didn't work out

(01:11:11):
I mean I could give you like I mean do you want to get real cuz I can get dark experience
I'll leave the name out but I met somebody at a song right around and
He said he wanted to write with me and
I showed up to his writing studio in Nashville, Tennessee and it was a big one
it's kind of a big deal to get to write there as a new songwriter and he was signed to that publishing company and

(01:11:36):
This was like a big name person that if you said the name people would know who they are know their company
Um, you probably wouldn't but a lot of people would and he he died
So I'm just gonna protect that a little bit. Absolutely, but um, he
Asked me to write with him. I showed up to the studio and I got there and he said well all the writers rooms are taken and

(01:11:57):
I was like, okay. Well, you want to reschedule and he said I don't want to reschedule
The weird thing is this is gonna sound really really bad
But the upstairs bedroom is open and you can trust me. So I went up to the upstairs bedroom and bad things happened
Yeah, and I've written many songs about it. I'm glad he's gone. We'll be one of them from Lady Psychiatrist booth

(01:12:18):
So you asked for a bad story and there is
That's a bad story. So I was thinking more along the lines of like
Something funnier. No
That's the dark side
You know what man, I know especially women that doesn't happen to men. It doesn't mean the music industry is a really really
Evil industry and I can be and I know and I see it and I I

(01:12:43):
Sometimes don't want to be a part of it, you know
That's why I like being an indie artist, especially in a small town like Ramona where we all support each other
What does Andy mean like independent where you're not trying to like, okay
Like in oh in like independent
Yeah
And and you ask a lot of artists in a rebel and especially those that lived in Nashville and we all have similar stories

(01:13:03):
And I think the only reason the only way that we're gonna hear less and less of those stories is if we actually tell them
You know because I didn't I actually blocked that story
Obviously it gets a little longer and a little bit deeper and that I'll leave that out
But I didn't remember it for a good seven years
Just completely blacked it out of my mind until one day I Brad my husband Brad and I were having a conversation

(01:13:28):
And it just kind of flew out and I was like, whoa
Didn't remember that
Wow, and then I did and then it kind of flooded out into all this songwriting material and then I contacted some other women
I knew at the time who had very similar stories and where it's just amazing how you just you just shut it down
You know and or you're you like talk to or like you talk about it

(01:13:52):
And then you feel like you're in trouble or you've done something wrong, right? But yeah this person
All too common, you know, it's way way all too common. Yeah, and we should normalize it and talk about it
Yeah
Well, all right. Well shoot. This is the outlaw radio show. So let's listen to some music
Let's I'm gonna listen when I ask you songs

(01:14:13):
Yeah, I have so many questions for Ashley that I've been dying to ask her for the since I've known her now's the time
So yeah, and I don't know. I'm gonna anyway, let's listen to some music
Wait, let's hear the question. What the hell? No, it's too many. I've got a lot of questions. Yeah
Let's take a break. We're gonna listen to some music. All right, and then we'll come back

(01:15:00):
I've had enough

(01:15:30):
Oh

(01:16:00):
Talk to me

(01:16:30):
Oh
Oh

(01:17:02):
Oh

(01:17:32):
Oh
All right, we're back

(01:17:54):
With our good friend Ashley Norton. So so, you know what's funny Ashley the other couple episodes ago
I don't remember which one it was. They're all kind of blending together now at this point with the all the drinking that we do
It's rough. I
Know what you mean. No, we've done two shows. It feels like eight
Actually think this one I'm gonna have to double check I was gonna say I don't want to be wrong

(01:18:18):
I don't double check this but I believe this is episode 10 10, which is kind of a milestone
You know to have victory Ashley on an episode 10 Ashley Norton you're on the big 10, but we got to confirm that here
No, yeah
Whatever. All right. So we had to we go we had talked about a song that you did called neighbor

(01:18:39):
You know that song of course, you know this song your brother never heard it
Maybe you guys could play it. I don't know maybe well
It was funny cuz Ashley's I told her that we're gonna be doing the show
I told her invited her to come in and hang out with us and she's like should I what do I need to bring?
Should I like write notes and or anything like that? I'm all nope

(01:19:10):
Laughs like that
Laughing at I laughing at him and the kick he gets out of it. He hits a level of laughter that is like beyond giggles
Yeah, that would keep right from his nuts all the way

(01:19:32):
We got a whole bag of almonds that are sitting on this table for sweet curves she likes almonds
She likes are those almonds with her when she likes almonds. She loves almonds and snack on them. She stacks on almonds
Oh Cassie. All right, so you brought your guitar Ashley door knobs. Yes. Just shout out to Cassie for bringing us more
Cassie is here. She just not on a microphone. But yeah, so is Victoria by the way Cassie Victoria still chilling

(01:19:57):
We have a studio audience. We have a studio audience today. It's gonna be fun
I have Garfunkel and I'm on the show. So you guys are hardly gonna play any music, you know that goes
Than I like to play music what's up with that? I'm a fucking
Joking and having a good time joking and smoking and whatnot. All right, so

(01:20:17):
You want to do that song Ashley? Hold on you didn't we need to tie? No, it all happened in your head
All right, thank you Cassie for the whiskey
We've lost control of the studio

(01:20:38):
Yeah, we're all lost now. So this is this is what happens usually what happens on our two hour two
Yeah, I would do is definitely a lot more. Yeah, we got the whiskey kicking in speaking of that Cheers
Cheers, we say Salud now
I like Salon La Hayam
That's my good friend Wendy craft

(01:21:00):
Jewish or Yiddish word for like we say La Hayam. Oh that is yeah
I'm Jewish. All right, so you're are you ready to do this creepy-ass song? Yeah
Okay, I'm sorry background because Travis keeps we're gonna appreciate it. So I wrote a song called neighbor and
It had like this weird
Ramona buzz around it and people loved it when I played it and that's where that that line and Ramona rockstar comes from

(01:21:29):
neighbor playing and passing car because someone told me they were it was like I think it was like Wendy and somebody else and they
Were driving down Main Street and they were playing the song and they rolled their window down
Someone they knew was next to them playing neighbors. I like I don't know Ramona is full of bunch of creepy fucking people
That's why we all get along
We are a town of absolute nutballs and squirrels yes. Yes. We are all we are the Misfits. That's what we are here for and

(01:21:55):
Anyway, there's people just will start loving on this song
And I remember like people would start to sing the lyrics back to me and it's like the first time I really felt like a Ramona
Rockstar which is again where that went into that song
but I'd been doing it for so long and
I think TBR had been hearing it for so long that finally he's like, you know what fuck it
I'm gonna I'm gonna make my own version of this song

(01:22:18):
He did we came home one night and he sat down. I don't think it was the guitar you did on the piano
Yeah, I was playing it and he was playing it on the piano
He's like I'm gonna write it like a rebuttal like if I was this guy and this lady was stalking me
I'm gonna write like my rebuttal verses to this song, which is fair
I mean, I think the first time we did it was at

(01:22:38):
Ramona ranch you will you did it you did the full you have a full version of the song
Like there's a first verse and everything and then we just decided to do it as a duet
I think on the fly at Ramona ranch. Yes, but totally like
Your violin player Stephanie. She had never heard it before and she was like

(01:22:59):
Laughing her ass off as we were doing it and she couldn't even play
It's so funny. So yeah, so we've been doing it that way every one of these days
We're gonna record it but but you're gonna hear it here. If you haven't heard it live, you're gonna hear it here
We're gonna tell you that radio first. I'm excited. All right, get out of get out of here. We rehearsed it three seconds ago

(01:23:20):
for about 45 seconds
So it's gonna be immaculate here we go. All right, we'll do it. Okay. Here we go. One two three four
You're just a neighbor

(01:23:40):
I swear I'm not addictive. I just want you every minute
It hurts me so much. I guess that's what they call a crush
Excuse me, but please don't freak out. I just got lost in your house

(01:24:06):
There's nothing to fear
Fear objects are closer than they appear
But I'm watching you close
And every morning
I'm driving by snow

(01:24:26):
Just to see you
a little clearer
Taking pictures in a rear view mirror
In a rear view mirror

(01:24:55):
She took my family picture
Cut my wife's face right off
And placed it back in my wallet
Glued her own picture
Upon it. I'm beginning to freak out
She was running through my backyard

(01:25:16):
Well, I tried to call the cops. They said she wasn't a hundred yards
She's a psycho neighbor
She's watching me close
And every morning she's driving by slow

(01:25:37):
Just to see me
a little clearer
Taking picture in a rear view mirror
In a rear view mirror. She's a psycho neighbor

(01:26:14):
All right, we're going to go
Your honor, I confess
It was an accident
My hands slipped on the hammer
Please don't throw me in the slammer
But I'm watching you close

(01:26:37):
And every morning
I'm driving by snow
Just to see you
a little clearer
Taking picture in a rear view mirror

(01:27:15):
Your honor, I'm so stressed
But this was no accident
She came at me with a hammer
Throw this nut job in the slammer
She's watching me close

(01:27:37):
And every morning
She's driving by slow
Just another stage fright clanger
Taking pictures in a rear view mirror

(01:28:07):
You're a psycho neighbor
She's a stage fright clanger
She's a stage fright clanger

(01:28:57):
It's officially on
Yeah, you know
It's officially on the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show now
We only fucked up like two times
We did now
We don't edit shit on this show
This is all live
We made a mistake, that just proves that it's live
It's jazz
Jazz is literally three hours of mistakes

(01:29:21):
Sax man, tax man, if you're listening, he does not mean that
It's blues, it's a managed crash
That was rad
That was so cool
Thank you for you guys, for both of you
For making that happen

(01:29:43):
I've heard rumors
You haven't heard that before?
I've heard yours
I've heard him talk about his part
I've heard all this, you know, rumors of this
Anyway
Careful, that was the whole album
So Ashley, you wrote a song called Bad Apple
Uh huh

(01:30:05):
I did
I don't know what it's about
That is factually correct
I don't care what it's about
I love the song Bad Apple
It's a good tune
It's about people getting along
Exactly, it's about people getting along
And sometimes there's a bad apple that will come in and spoil the bunch

(01:30:28):
But the thing is, there's room for everybody in the kitchen to make a pie
We can all be good apples
And it's never too late, you can come in and make the pie
It's never too late until you hear the song I wrote about that bad apple
It might be too late for TBR, is this a segue?
No, we're not hearing that song today
No

(01:30:50):
Uh yeah
You sure about that?
This is one of the greatest bits that we do
I'm hopeful about that
Every episode he begs, every episode she says no
This checks out
I can G-rate the song, I can do it the full Monty or I can do it PG rated
This is why people keep tuning back in, you leave them hanging every week

(01:31:13):
Will they?
We giggle and we laugh
So I wrote a song called?
I thought we were talking about Ashley's song
Well, mine's a little bit more...
G-rated?
Snow white-ish
Alright, snow white
You know what Ashley, I do gotta tell you something
I love you, I love y'all so much
But I can totally see a lot of your songs on Disney

(01:31:36):
Is that supposed to be in his complements?
No, I think it's cool
I take it as a compliment
You should
Absolute compliment
I hear that sometimes
But sometimes I do hear that as an insult
Like, she sounds like a Disney princess
I'm like, why is that an insult?
Ariel is literally my influence
You don't need those people in your life, Ashley
Yeah

(01:31:58):
But then sometimes I say that to people and they're like, I don't hear that at all
Music is subjective, this interesting thing
100%
It reminds me when I was a kid listening to Little Mermaid
I had three sisters, so yes, I've watched Little Mermaid
Did they dress you up like 1900 times?
They did, because during COVID
He came home one day and I was like, babe, can I like perm your hair and paint your nails?

(01:32:19):
He was like, yeah
And I was like, you said yes to that very quickly
He was like, I had three sisters, you think my hair has never been curled and my nails have been painted before?
Fair enough
That's the dream
See, my husband has three brothers
Bradley, if you're listening, we are gonna paint your nails sometime
I'm sure Bradley would be fine with that

(01:32:41):
He's gonna take you, me, Victoria, and Cassie
We'll let you pick the color
We just gotta gang up on him, he can't say no to four pretty women
It's true, and Bradley is one of the nicest guys I've ever met
He would probably just go
You know what, he probably would, especially if TBR did
He's like, if he'd probably go
We'll bring a gallon jug of acetone, you'll be fine

(01:33:02):
Is Travis Billy Ross doing it?
Fine
Okay, he won't do it, pure pressure
I love it
Have you recorded the Bad Apple song yet?
No, but I...
You wanna play it?
Right now, really?
Only if you play Shitty Dive Bar
I'll do it after
Was I not supposed to say the name?
Oh no, it's okay, I'll do it, but I'll do it on a G-rated version

(01:33:23):
Because it's a kid-friendly, I don't know
I will do it, you know
Alright, do it, Bad Apple, let's hear it
I gotta make sure, I don't really... oh wait, no, I've got it somewhere
I don't have it memorized
Let me play a song, get yourself gathered
Gathering
And we'll come back, and we'll get that all squared away, okay?
Let's do it
Oh yeah, this is a radio show
You're swinging springsteen, you're dancing in the dark

(01:34:09):
We're boots and boots, we're dancing in the dark

(01:34:37):
We're boots and blue jeans.
We're dancing in the dirt.
Swingin' in the spring steam.
You're dancing in the dark.

(01:35:07):
Wash the thicket, pop a beat.
Chill in Carolina heat.
Leave your worries in the woods.
The band is great, the feeling's good.
Let's get dancey in the dirt.
Don't get fancy, we can flirt.
One more song is all we need.
Until the sunrise, man, we be.

(01:35:30):

(01:36:11):
Dancing in the dirt, swinging a spring steam yore
Dancing in the dark, wear boots that blow the chains bare

(01:36:34):
Dancing in the dirt
Dancing in the dirt
Dancing in the dirt
Dancing in the dirt

(01:36:55):
Dancing in the dirt
Well I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning when it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

(01:37:18):
Well I love a rainy night, such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain on my face, taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadows
Showers wash all my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day

(01:37:41):
Cause I love a rainy night
Yeah I love a rainy night
Well I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning when it lights up the sky

(01:38:06):
You know it makes me feel good
Well I love a rainy night, such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain on my face, taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadows
What's a song in this heart of mine?

(01:38:29):
What's a smile on my face every time?
I love a rainy night

(01:39:03):
Showers wash all my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day

(01:39:24):
It's hidden in my eyes
Cause it makes me high
It's in my you

(01:40:01):
Who doesn't love!The Rainy Nights?
That was Eddie Rabbit.
I love him.
I love Eddie Rabbit.
He does that song, he does that song driving my life away too with the winter wipers slapping
out of tempo.
I love that part of that song.
All right, Ashley Norton, did you tune up your little guitar there?

(01:40:22):
My brand new guitar.
Your little Garfunkel guitar.
That is an amazing guitar.
The Guy Farko.
That is a fancy guitar.
Where'd you get that guitar from, Ashley?
Yeah, before you start singing, you got to tell us about this guitar.
Who made it?
Et cetera, et cetera.
Well, it's called The Garfunkel.
Not Garfunkel, The Garfunkel.
That's the name of the guitar.
Yeah, because when people ask me what guitar I'm playing, I say it's The Garfunkel.

(01:40:43):
So it's a Michael E. Mosley design.
Michael Mosley is the luthier for the stars, just like Curbs is the hairstylist for the
stars and Ramona.
Oh, thank you.
That's true.
He does.
He is.
Yeah, he's fixed all of our guitars for a long time now.
He worked at Taylor Guitars for 25 years and he wrote a book and this will be the 40th

(01:41:05):
instrument he's made.
And he writes a chapter in his book every time he makes a guitar, he only makes guitars
every time he's inspired by somebody.
There's like three boxes, it's got to check, or like two of the three, which you're inspired
by somebody.
And I can't remember where the other two are, he'll tell you.
But yeah, he just decides to build a guitar for somebody and he just does it.

(01:41:26):
Sometimes they don't know they're getting it.
Sometimes they do.
Did you know you were getting it?
I did.
He was going to surprise me, but he wanted, he decided to walk me through the process
along the way, which was really fun for me.
It took him seven months to build every single bit of this guitar from scratch.
Not a single bit of this was outsourced, including the inlay, which says Ashley E. Norton across
the neck.

(01:41:47):
And it has a face of my dog on the headstock with music notes coming out of his mouth because
my dog sings, which you might hear in a little bit.
That is so cool.
It is the greatest gift I've ever received.
And it's perfect for me.
It's got a lot of high end, which is just like my voice and it's smaller bodied, like,
well, smaller portions of my body and minus my butt, but that's a whole other story.

(01:42:14):
And it's just, it's like, you know, you pick up a guitar, you know, musicians or guitar
players do what I'm talking about and it just feels like it's part of you instantly.
And that's what I get when I hold this guitar.
So it's really an incredible instrument.
It is very beautiful.
It's beautiful.
And it is very cool.
And Michael's one of my best friends.

(01:42:35):
We got pictures up.
So we'll get on there.
We'll go see him now.
All right.
All right.
Now, so we get to hear another Ashley original.
Well, the deal was, I guess I was going to play this song, if TBR was going to play the
song about a similar scenario happening around Ramona.
Scenario thing.
All right, I might have a little bit more of a positive spin on it.

(01:42:56):
Well, you haven't heard mine actually.
So I have actually.
You're like one of like the 10.
I've heard them both several times.
And I'm going to say Ashley's definitely has a more positive spin.
Whatever.
What are you doing?
Billy Ross.
I do outlaw country.
This is outlaw country show.
We're fucking doing it.
Do a plan or song.

(01:43:17):
This is a it's called Bad Apple.
And yeah, I hope to record this eventually.
But here's your Ramona radio debut.
This is a thing on this show.
We're just debuting all the songs.
Oh, yeah.
I'll follow along if you don't mind.
I do not.
In fact, I wrote the chords down on a little piece of paper.
Oh, I got him.
Is that what those were?
Yep.

(01:43:38):
I thought you were telling me something.
I thought you were giving me Morris code.
Oh, can you check?
Yes or no?
No.
Come on.
Well, TBR and I don't understand music theory.
So we just play it live.
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
I'll write it and we'll do it.

(01:44:00):
I love that.
All right.
My favorite little stage is yours, Miss Ashley.
Let's hear it.
Imagine a pie shop at the edge of town with a smell so delicious that people gather round

(01:44:27):
to the wicked witch tried to take it down.
But Envy's a bitch, she don't wear no crown.
She kept slipping poison into every pie.
She called the sheriff an eye for an eye, but the people were immune to her venomous
lies.
They couldn't be swayed and it's no surprise.

(01:44:50):
She's a bad apple, she'll spoil the bunch.
It's a mad battle, but I can take a bunch.
We'll win the war with a sweeter touch.
The thing is bad apples ain't good for much.
She's a bad apple.
All right, studio people.
A bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, she's bad.
All right, now we got it for the next place.
Good people pull together and can make it right.

(01:45:25):
Because they're happy ever after out there for a snow white.
Bad apples rot fast, no it won't be long till even the witch will know she's wrong.
She's a bad apple, she'll spoil the bunch.
It's a mad battle, but I can take a bunch.
We'll win the war with a sweeter touch.

(01:45:47):
The thing is bad apples ain't good for much.
She's a bad apple.
A bad apple, a bad apple, a bad apple, she's bad.
She's a bad apple, a bad apple, a bad apple, she's bad.
Take it TVR.
I've been waiting to hear this.
This is the only thing that's going on in my head.

(01:46:08):
I'm going to tell you this.
Bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, she's bad.
Take a TBR.

(01:46:53):
It's never too late to change a recipe. There's room in this kitchen for you and me.
It's a metaphor, but I still believe we can turn this into a legacy.
Hell with them apples, don't spoil the punch. It's a math battle, but I can take a punch.

(01:47:16):
We'll end the war with a sweeter touch. The thing is bad apples ain't good for much.
She's a bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, she's bad.

(01:47:37):
She's bad, she's a bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, a bad apple, bad apple, she's bad.

(01:48:01):
That is fun. Well, that's like the alt version of Snow White, I guess,
on the Disney princess theme. I could totally hear that on a Disney...
But it's like dark Disney. No, I just think it's a cool song.
Well, not Disney songs aren't cool. I like to play Disney songs, but that is fun. Well done.
They can be. They can be uncool. They can be. Yeah. What was that one

(01:48:25):
where the chef was chasing the crab around? Yeah, that was...
Circulable. I have me swine.
I have me swine. First I chop off their heads,
then I pull out their bones, because I love little fishies, don't you?
First I stuff you with bread. It don't hurt, because you're dead.

(01:48:47):
Clearly, we're all fans of The Little Mermaid. Oh, Lord.
Not intentionally. I had three sisters and my little sister watched that.
Sweetheart. You love it. Come on.
I've told you. You don't have to lie to kick it. We'll love you anyway, so it's fine.
You know, Tyler Stamets is going to host a Disney-themed Monday Night Dealer Choice.
Oh, I might have to sing a song then. Oh, that would be fun.

(01:49:08):
Okay. Yeah, maybe we'll get sweethearts.
I forget this is a radio show. I've been drinking whiskey and I just say things.
That's why it's so popular. It's on record now.
It's on record now. Now I have to figure out...
Kirby and I are going to be the next big up-and-coming duet.
Are we going to be like Captain and T'Neil? Yeah, Captain and T'Neil.
No, I've got to get a Disney song. What's your Disney duet?

(01:49:30):
A little sunion chair. What could he sing as a duet?
It'll be the Beauty and the Beast. Oh, tale as old as time.
Whole New World. Oh, my God.
Come on. This is an outlaw country show. It's definitely an Aladdin near a Jasmine.
All right. I can wear a black wig.
So it's no longer outlaw country. It's still an outlaw Disney show.

(01:49:51):
Well, when we have Ashley Dornops-Norton on here, it's a Disney country outlaw show somehow.
Yeah. All right. Clock's ticking, folks.
All right. What's your song, babe? Do it.
It's not as sweet, folks. What did you call the name of the song, Ashley?
Shitty Dive Bar. Yeah.
I think that's what it's called. It is called Shitty Dive Bar.
Class it up, though. All right. I'm going to class it up.

(01:50:12):
About no dive bar in particular. None.
No, it's not about any dive bar in particular. We've all been to a dive bar and you're like,
why do people come here? And you walked in and you still order a drink.
I've been to Tennessee. I've been to Nashville. I've been to Texas.
Been all over the place. And these dive bars are everywhere.
So this is about one that I was in in South Carolina.

(01:50:33):
SC. Just saying.
South Carolina. Here we go. It's called Shitty Dive Bar.
My good friend Clarence out there.
SDB. We already know it.
We love you Sandman.
We love you Sandman.
This bar is cold. It's a damn shithole.

(01:50:55):
No fancy drinks, just whiskey and dusty poo.
The walls are stained.
The floor is worn, but it's where dump trucks go all night long.
The owner's a dunce. She wears it with pride.
She'll kick you out if you step out of line.

(01:51:17):
Her husband's a punk. Always trying to play tough.
But he's just a fool.
Ain't fooling no one enough.
In this shitty dive bar where the losers unite.
Dumbasses drown in sorrow. Drinking day and night.
No glitz or glamour here. They hate pets and dogs.

(01:51:43):
With this shitty dive bar with a horse row.
Horse row.

(01:52:03):
Drinking whiskey in this place. Where the walls are stained with regret.
No fancy lights or chandelier. Just the smell of a stale cigarette.
Broken dreams and shattered pride.
Fill the air with every sin. But we'll keep on singing.

(01:52:31):
Fuck that dive bar.
That lady's a trip. In this shitty dive bar where the losers unite.

(01:52:53):
In this shitty dive bar where the horse really row.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
The bar's a wreck. It's going down.
The owner's at the helm. Gone and running to the ground.
No clue what she's doing. Making it worse.

(01:53:17):
Crowd's getting smaller. It's becoming a curse.
In this shitty dive bar where the losers unite.
In this shitty dive bar where the horse really row.

(01:53:43):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(01:54:13):
Garfunkel.
We're gonna hear it.
We're not wrapping it up until we hear from them.
Garf, are you ready?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(01:54:43):
She puts the hell in the shell. Frisky in the whiskey.
Puts the rod in the rye. In the bone in the bone.
Teasing tequila. Sex on the beat. Fire in the fire.
She puts the hell in the shell. She puts the hell in the shell.

(01:55:07):
She was daddy's little angel with a pretty pink halo.
One shot of John-Hale girls done wild.
But daddy doesn't know she's a raging volcano.
Hot lava mama, she's a bulldozer child.
She puts the hell in the shell. Frisky in the whiskey.
Puts the rod in the rye. In the bone in the bone.

(01:55:28):
Teasing tequila. Sex on the beat. Fire in the fire.
She puts the hell in the shell. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

(01:55:53):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Good job, Garfunkel. He's better than all of us.
I'm going to be honest. He's true. He's more popular.
We've got a singing dog in the studio. See there?
All right. Well, friends, how bad does it suck when the show comes to an end?

(01:56:17):
I don't like it at all. I always have so much fun.
Man, Ashley, thank you so much for hanging out with us on this beautiful Sunday.
Oh, yeah. What? I don't know what day it is.
We appreciate it. It's Sunday.
That's the whiskey talking, y'all.
And don't forget, hey, Ashley, have you ever had outlaw barbecue before?
I love outlaw barbecue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(01:56:38):
I'm a vegetarian and I'll eat outlaw barbecue.
He does do the, what do you call it, the vegan or the vegetarian barbecue stuff?
It reminds me of that time I got tricked at that place and they gave me a vegan hamburger.
Oh, you were so mad. Ruined my day.
He literally called me and he was like, you're not going to believe this.
And I thought he got a parking ticket, like something terrible.

(01:57:02):
I stood in line for 15 minutes and I got a ticket for a free burger.
It was a veggie burger.
I took one bite out of it and I'm like, this is...
Nobody gives away regular burgers, Tim.
This is terrible.
What kind of veggie burger? Because I've had like Portobello burgers.
It looked like hamburger. It was delicious, by the way.
It was not. You would not have known.

(01:57:23):
I didn't know because I noticed, I'm like, this is awful.
And then you're like, well, that's vegetarian burger.
I'm like, well, fuck me. Yep, that makes sense. Anyway.
I'll never forget it.
All right. Thank you so much, Ashley and Norton for hanging out with us.
Thanks for coming by. We love you. It was so fun. Hope you had a good time.
Thanks for the whiskey.
Will you come back again and hang out with us?

(01:57:44):
I don't think you actually played any music because I have the gift of the gab.
We were laughing and joking and having fun.
We had some live shit in there.
We played some live music in there and that's what we do.
That's what we like to do it live. We do it live.
We had G-Funk.
And we had Garfunkel singing us that last song.
Anyway, you guys have a good night. Drive safe tomorrow morning, Monday morning.
And if you're listening to this in the morning, try not to laugh yourself to death.

(01:58:07):
I'm just kidding. All right. Have a good night. Drive safe and make good choices.
Have a good rest of your week. God bless you.
Bye.

(01:58:43):
